Do not be so open-minded that your brain falls out
I've got two, that are related.
Background - my husband has had 24 strokes in the last 7 years, and is in end-stage renal failure. Since I cannot leave him alone, we have had to take the distasteful step of applying for, and receiving, food stamps. So, here goes:
Pet Peeve #1. People who think they are better than me when they see that food stamp card in my hand.
and
Pet Peeve #2. Seeing people in grocery store lines, with a basket of food, cartons of cigarettes and 5 12-packs of beer. If you have money for cigarettes and beer, you should be getting your own groceries.
I know, taken together, they are sort of hypocritical.

Bullies who think it's okay to remove my laundry from the laundry machines in the middle of my effort to get things done...and think it's their right to butt in and take over. ....despite the fact, I don't let my laundry sit there since I set a timer to get things done as soon as the machines stop. Evidently they and their stuff MUST come first regardless and they, on top of it, are rude or laugh it off.

Sounds like college.
I saw something on facebook:
Note posted on washing machine:
To the person who took my laundry out half-way through the wash cycle so they could do their laundry: YOU ARE A JERK!
Unfortunately for you, so am I. Your half-done laundry is outside, in the snowbank to the left of the back door.

In some ways, I wish I was that brave. Considering some people, it may just provoke them further. I did take there stuff out of the washer but it was done and I put it on the table and carried on with mine but they were so brazen they did it again. That time I said I had wished they wouldn't interupt me when I was in the middle of laundry they were rude and didn't care a bean. I did mention I talked to the manager and they got rude so I just waited until they left and gave up and called the manager again. I have to pick my battles well but ....it gets to be....wearisome.
Like the sayings go...it's not just one thing and when it rains it pours. 
Thanks ladies....it's been a rough week....
