It's a Friday Five & it's even Friday!
1. What is your biggest pet peeve? Why? Newsies in my control room! LOL, just kidding (although they can be very annoying). For me it's always the little things, like a person that eats with their mouth open. A slightly bigger one is people that don't do what they promise you they'll do. For example, I had a supervisior that was always telling me that he was "taking care of" certain things. Then when he left, lo and behold, those things had never even been started. Stupid people bother me. I don't mean cognitively disabled people, I mean people who haven't got the common sense of a toad.
2. What irritating habits do you have? Me? Irritating? Never! I guess I do have a tendancy to repeat myself, I also tend to repeat myself. I can get going on my soap box if something sets me off, but I'm right gosh darn it and people should listen to me. ;)
3. Have you tried to change the irritating habits or just let them be? Depends, if it's something stupid (like clicking my pen because I'm nervous) I usually just let it be. But... quite a few years ago I was told that in a conversation I always bring it back around to me. Since then I have made a very consious effort to ask questions in a conversation and make it about the other person too.
4. What grosses you out more than anything else? Why? SPIDERS!!! I'm severely arachnaphobic; I can't even look at pictures or think about them without shuddering and getting the hebbie jebbies. Seeing one in person is liable to set off a major panic attack.
5. What one thing can you never see yourself doing that other people do? These may seem odd, but anyone that knows me knows they're true: Smoking, Drinking, Swearing, & Sex before Marriage.
