In case you’re wondering, yes, I are grumpy. Therefore I present to you:
Sheryll’s Mammoth(-ish) List of Pet Peeves/Hates
1. Automatic taps. For they do not obey me.
2. People who insist on pronouncing it 'arse' and correct me when I don't.
3. The word ‘economics’. Is it eh-co-NOH-mics or e-COH-no-mics or what?
4. People who say that love is blind. It’s not. If it were, gyms would go out of business.
5. Bathrooms with the door open.
6. Blond highlights on dark Indian chicks.
7. Guys who color their hair.
8. Fake accents.
9. People who move their hands too much. It’s so distracting. Although I’ll admit it. I do it too. Waddaya know? I’m my own pet peeve.
10. Auto drivers who try to race you.
11. Rainy days. Nothing good comes from rainy days except like, plants and trees and stuff.
12. People with 24/7 perfectly styled hair. It’s wrong and unnatural.
13. People who use big pretentious words like ‘juxtaposition’ or ‘plethora’. Who speaks like that anyways?
14. My insane pathetic need to make people think I’m smart. That juxtaposed (Heh heh) with my less than stellar memory for names, well… it sucks. Take the other day for instance. My boss and I were talking about management books, both network-wise and otherwise.
My Boss: So Walter Goralski’s written some really good books on management.
Me: You mean the guy who wrote ‘7 Habits for Highly Effective People’?
My Boss: (pause) No. I mean Walter from Documentation.
Fail.
15. People who fix their hair while looking at their reflection IN MY GLASSES. I want to take them outside and slap the road with their face.
16. When my jokes die.
All the conference rooms in my office are named after movies. The company’s spread over two buildings. So last Friday, my colleague and I were supposed to go to the other building for a meeting. It was in this conference room called Braveheart (I kid you not). We faithfully made our way there only to find out that they changed the venue to Finding Nemo (Still not kidding). In a strange twist of irony, no one knew when Finding Nemo was. The receptionists on the 3rd floor told us to go to the 4th floor. The folks on the 4th floor told us that it was in the 5th floor. The folks on the 5th floor told us to go to the 2nd floor. There is no 2nd floor. It’s occupied by another company. We finally found the conference room on the 1st floor only to be told that the venue was changed again. This time to a training room… which turned out to be right next to Braveheart (They may take our sanity, but they will never take OUR FREEDOM!!!). These two conference rooms literally shared a wall. Anyways, rants aside, we ended up arriving 20 minutes late.
Enter Sheryll and colleague (Big hug Preets!)
Me: Sorry we’re late. We couldn’t find Nemo.
Everyone else - *silence*
I hate everybody.

Rule #1:
Thou shalt not consider my perfect hair as a pet peeve. oink.
Rule #2:
It is virtually impossible to slap the road with someone's face. Or vice versa.
Rule #3:
Echonomics, eeconawmics; potato hippopotamus.
Rule #4:
Auto Drivers don't race you. You really DRIVE that slow.
Rule #5:
"They may take our sanity, but they'll never take...OUR FREEDOM!"
Thou shalt not take someone else's cry for freedom as yours.
I still think you're awesome :)
4. Love IS Blind. The girls-with-gorillas syndrome has no other explanation. And these aren't the muscley gorillas I speak of. The types who haven't been to the gym more than twice in their life.
15. Slap the road with their face. I'd love to see someone do that.
16. Yea, everybody has no sense of humour. Hate them you should.
Good post.
P.S. @Shivonne, lol on the potato hippopotamus
@Shivonne
1. OK. I shall not. Neigh.
2. Wanna bet? Impossible is nothing. Ahem.
3. Hehahahahaha
4. I do NOT! I drive at a reasonable speed ok? Ask Mama. She's thinks I'm Speedy Gonzales. Arriba!
5.Darn.
I think you're aweseomer!
@ Rebel
4. Girls with Gorillas syndrome. Hehe.. I like that.
15. I have this hope.
16. I do.
Zank u. And u're back! So were the hills (OK mountains.) alive with the sound of music???
3. I used to call it ikks-No-Comics..
4. Who cares whether love is blind or not. It sucks anyways..
7. Guys who color their hair. AND what about girls who do the same??
11. Well there is one good thing about rainy days- You dont have to bear the pain of washing your month old dirty jeans and tshirt. Just hang dem outside and ur job will be done.
15. Well no one had ever dont dat to me. I dunno wat will I do if someone attempts 2 do dat....
And believe me its better to have conference rooms named after movies than having names like einstein, newton, words worth, hercules, darwin.
Imagine ur boss always asking u to provide some valuable inputs and expecting u 2 come up with something JUST cos u r in a conference room named after einstein or newton and so u r expected 2 live up to their names and then the urge u get 2 shout back 2 ur boss and say u r in da same room u son of a ****, y dont u give some valuable input!!!!
it's better 2 arrive 20 min late and say we had a problem in finding nemo than to going thru all this.
@Laddu
3. Hehe!
4. You speak the truth, my brother-man.
7. Refer pet peeve #6.
11. Eww. U gross. What about mud??
15. U'd slap the road with their face too??
*Laughs hysterically at rest of comment. Hahaha!*
The mountains had music alright. Good and bad both. This uncle decided to come along and bring his harmonica with him.
Good thing my friend had an iPod too.
And the trip was amazing. The ONLY downside is that the photos I clicked dont do any justice to the sights I beheld.
Oh, well. Not exactly my loss.
@Rebel
A harmonica? Yay, now I'm like two degrees less jealous of you. =D
