Feeling Peevish

Everyone has pet peeves, those annoyances both large and small that might only cause a momentary eye roll, or completely ruin our day. I started thinking about this yesterday when I was in the 10 items-or-less less lane behind a woman who had about 30 things in her cart--by no means the first time this has happened!
Pet peeves come and go, some fleeting and some life-long. Here are some of mine at the moment:
1. No matter what setting I try on our microwave, it always burns the popcorn.
2. Dish soap suds that last for five minutes.
3. 99% of politicians.
4. Errors on bills that can only be corrected by 20 minutes on the phone listening to Muzak and recorded voices.
5. Movie-makers who turn books into films and change the endings. The latest is My Sister's Keeper, a terrific book by Jodi Picoult. The book ends with a major shock--but the movie is going to be different.
6. Squirrels on my birdfeeders. There are seeds all over the ground--why can't they eat those??
7. People who send me a dozen forwards a day but no real e-mail.
8. Those smelly, biting, drop-dead-all-over-the-house Asian ladybug beetles.
9. The media turning a story into a mega, all-consuming, no-escape-from monster: the "Octo-Mom"!
10. Clothing designers who create for 12-pound teenage girls and old ladies. What's a chubby Baby Boomer to wear?!

I could keep going, but that might make you peevish.
