What is one of your Pet Peeves in life?

People who go to restaurants, church, Walmart and, a "biggee"...…….to work, sick. We don't go to church during the winter months, due to this.

People who are inconsiderate of those sleeping at night and make noise in their apartment.

We love dogs, but when an apartment complex sounds more like a dog kennel...……..

People who use the "F" bomb and say the Lord's name in vain.

People that say they know about rodeo, but clearly don't, when asked about any of the events. They know how to 2-step and like country music and the clothes, but that's it.

As for going to work sick, I can understand that. I worked in places that didn't offer any paid sick leave. People who were living from check to check couldn't afford to lose a day's pay - it meant their kids wouldn't eat.
As for Rodeos, I know enough about them to know why they shouldn't be allowed.

That is a bit touchy.. I do understand if you have no paid sick leave you need to do what you need to do but you are putting others at risk of getting sick and their immune system may not be as strong as yours and they may loose a few days of work and not able to pay their monthly bills. I blame the company for no sick pay.

Guess you weren't raised around ranching/farming...…..right? Pro-rodeo will never go away. Just had a big one here, in Denver, and lots and lots of people went. There were protestors by the ticket booths, but the people who came didn't care at all.
Sorry, but there are plenty of folks throughout the U.S. that love rodeo. Heck, there are even colleges/universities that will give a student a full scholarship to their school if they rodeo on the college team.

Hey, I've got an idea, which will never happen, but..........let's stop parents from teaching their kids how to fish.

So, just go to work and give everyone there your sickness, hugh. Now, that sounds real smart. But, I do see your point about no sick pay.

Well, anyone would understand the issue of no sick pay.
People who attend rodeos have no respect for animals. Yes, "Lots & lots of people attend" just as lots & lots of people attend bullfights, horse races & circuses. There are lots & lots of thoughtless people in the world....always have been & always will be.

Yes, that is there also, as well as smoking. Wife and I are not the only ones that don't like these two things..........plenty of folks don't. Our next door neighbor told me that she wishes she'd never got hers. She said she got them when, as she stated it, "I was a bad girl and didn't care."

"No respect for animals"...…...dude, you have a LOT to learn! I spent many years in it and totally respected my horse and loved roping. Wow, just what can I say...…….."city folk" as Jack Palace said in the movie City Slickers.
