I have a lot of pet peeves,
having been around long enough to accumulate a really impressive list. Here are just a
few"
Cowardly people who respond to any picture of a snake, spider, etc.
with things like “Ewwww, gross!” or “KILL IT!”, or worse yet, actually follow through with
the latter because they don’t have sense enough to learn any better. This is especially true of many people on
Deviantart.com who take time to take a PICTURE of an animal, then kill the thing, just so they can upload a pic
to their gallery so all their snotty little friends can compliment them on how brave they were for getting close
enough to the big, bad whatever to take its picture.
Animal Rights Activists
who insist on forcing their particular opinions on everyone else, with regards to what everyone else can or
cannot eat, can or cannot keep, and generally try to force their agenda of an animal-less society under the guise
of animal “rights”.
School Board Members and District officials who
drive around in Jaguars while teachers can barely afford the rent, have to pay 100% of their class budgets out of
our own pockets, and put up with untold amounts of BS from students and parents, with no support from the
“top brass”. These are the people who insist that they do everything “for the children”;
yeah, riiiight.
Parents who refuse to show up for conferences about their
child’s grades or behavior at school, won’t answer the phone when they see it’s the school calling, or lie
about it being the wrong number, who could care less about whether their child gets an education, but who will
come down like a bad case of the flu if you hurt their little baby’s feelings or impede his/her
“rights” in any fashion, who can’t even read, but can tell a teacher how to do HIS/HER job, who refuse
to buy their kid pencils, paper, etc., but won’t hesitate to buy the little darlin’ a $130.00 pair of
sneakers.
ANYBODY who promotes Breed-Specific Legistlation as a means of
curbing dog bites, and who is actually still stupid enough to believe that Pit Bulls have "locking
jaws", three rows of teeth, etc.
[b]The media for calling virtually EVERY dog that bites,
growls, shows its teeth, steps on someone’s foot, poops in someone’s yard, etc. a "Pit
Bull"[/b], even when it’s obviously NOT, just to blow out-of-proportion the problems with Pit
Bulls vs. other breeds, and put every incident involving a so-called “Pit Bull” on the front page of
every newspaper, yet when a dog that they cannot possibly get by with calling a “Pit Bull”(like the
Pomeranian that ripped out the carotid arteries of a six-week-old infant a couple of years ago)does something
bad, they relagate that to a tiny little snippet on the back page, IF they report it at all, and often won’t
mention the breed if they can’t call the dog a “Pit Bull”.
[b]Shallow
people[/b] who cannot see beyond the very “surface” of a person or situation, and make their
judgements based on their extremely narrow view
