This is my first pet peeve I will write about in my new blog! That sounds very professional somehow. My first and biggest pet peeve is..........................MANNERS! Seriously, is it that hard to say "excuse me, please, thank-you, and I'm sorry"? This week I have been out and about a lot more than "normal" and was shocked by how many rude people there are. I have taught my kids right from day 1 that manners must be used at all times, not that they use them all the time but lets face it, they are kids, but adults you have no excuse! Here are my gripes!

1. When you are working with the public please slap a smile on your face! I understand your job probably sucks but I have my own stuff to worry about .
2. When I call someone for information because they are a supposed specialist in the field it's Ok for them to say "I don't know". But it is not Ok for them not to want to find out the answer and get back to me.
3. Show some empathy. Even if sympathy is not your thing you can at least show some empathy, or at least fake it.
4. People have feelings!
5. Please don't swear on facebook, that is just downright rude. To my friends on facebook, if you swear, I will delete you.

Well that is all of my ramblings for right now. It probably makes no sense to anyone but me. I'm strangely Ok with that!
