Worse yet you open the stall door and there is pee on the seat and floor!

I was cleaning the bathroom today and this thread came to mind......I can't stand it when I'm trying to wipe the toilet or floor and I keep playing "chase the hair around"!...It just refuses to stick to the cleaning cloth!

LOL!!! In the teachers' ladies room in my school (we use their bathrooms during rehearsals for shows), they have a little sign that says "If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat. " hahaha

OK. These are really little, stupid things. But they irk me. I started school today, and while I LOVE all of my teachers and classes, 2 of them have these mannerisms that drive me nuts:

1. People who chew gum when they are in front of an audience - whether they're a teacher, a performer, whathaveyou. It's rude. and gross. Spit out the gum for half an hour.

2. People who take their glasses on and off every 30 seconds. I don't know WHY it bothers me, but I find it very distracting. Either leave them on or take them off!

3. People who constantly pick on themselves. we ALL pick on ourselves - it's human nature, and definitely healthy to laugh at yourself! But people who just constantly do it...it gets very old. My friend Connor is in a wheelchair, and he's ALWAYS making jokes about how he can't walk and it's like...dude...we get it. 2 years ago my history teacher, he was a BIG guy, and he CONSTANTLY made fun of himself. It made me feel bad for him at first, but after a very short time it got really old really fast.
and now this year, my history teacher (awesome guy, awesome teacher) is in a wheel chair, and he made fun of himself through the entire class today!! I was like...no one is saying ANYTHING about his handicap, I highly doubt anyone was even really THINKING about it, why did he feel the need to CONSTANTLY bring it up?

Megan you took the words out of my mouth!

I was going to come on here and post the same thing you said in your #2 tonight lol. I have a teacher and she is just standing in front of classs talking and she constantly takes off and puts on her glasses. She isnt switching views from the board or something and back to class, just staring at kids the whole time talking and she does it. Drives me nuts lol.

I used to do that till I got bifocals, I got the progrssive kind without lines and it's great. However I still take mine off alot because now that I wear glasses ALL the time my eyes sometimes burn and/or itch alot for some reason. So off come the glasses while I rub my eyes because it gets to where I can't stand it.

MY pet peeve for today:

People who can't follow rules. I have had no internet or tv since yesterday afternoon between 4:30 and 5pm. The guy from the cable company just left after running a temp cable to my house from the cable box. Why? Because my neighbor decided to plant two trees at the end of his driveway and cut my cable. What ever happened to "call before you dig?" Glad he didn't hit something that could blow up!

If a teacher is chewing gum in class, it is completely unprofessional. And yes, the large print is intentional.

Actually not all toothpastes have fluoride in them, thank goodness. I will not use a toothpaste with fluoride. I use one with tea tree oil.

Here is a interesting article about some of the suspected dangers of fluoride. You can also just google 'dangers of fluoride' and get lots more information. Some dogs can get very sick from drinking water with fluoride in it. I am so thankful that we have a wonderful water well at our home with great tasting water.

What happened to truth in advertising? Years ago they found out it wasn't thick pancake syrup in the commercial oozing over the pancakes it was motor oil.
