You can have mine, too. Southeastern Pennsylvania looks like the scenery for a day after doomsday movie.Quote:

And he's retiring. Double eek. Better than the last people with the dogs chained out in the snow barking, I suppose.
The MAll! Almost one giant peeve. But I will limit it to:
1) Whne did the mall become completely boring? (except for Anthropologie)
Oh a speaking of shipping, I took DH to a real store to buy new clothes for his high school reunion, to JC PEnney's. I like Penneys anyway, and I like their new marketing approach, limited "Sales"
. The St. John's Bay pants that are 34" waist are NOT that, they "run small" according to the salesman. How stupid is that!!!!????? Men's clothes were the one constant thing about shopping, the waist size is the waist size. Now I've got to bring a tape measure, I guess. When these start hitting the thrift stores in a few years I will no longer be able to shop for DH without having him along to try on stuff.
I am so with you on the Mall. I make it a point to not enter one. They were so chain store, expensive full retail, current look (meaning not wearable), too bright, etc.
If I have to got to Sears for underwear, I go in the side entrance and leave the same way.
My peeve today is about road construction detours. We have a roundabout going in about 2 miles from here. It is a main crossroads. They set the detour up but there is a shorter way which it appears most people are using. The problem is they just pull out in front of you from a stop sign when you do not have the stop sign. The rules don't change just because it takes a few more seconds to get across the highway people! Maybe after the first major car accident they will install temporary lights.
60mph speed limits on narrow, bidirectional roads! Whose idea was this?! In what way does it sound safe to zoom by another vehicle headed in the opposite direction, a mere 3ft apart at high speed?? Am I the only one who would be satisfied if every road had a speed limit of 40 or under? I'd rather get somewhere slowly than get there dead!!!
When I'm in the middle reading something interesting and I have to stop and do some dumb project that could wait.
We have a double standard in our State. A 35 yr old woman had sex with 3 teenage boys dozens of times and gets no prison time. She has jail time but no prison time. ONLY 21 mos in jail!!! If a man had sex with one teenager he would be in prison for life. I wonder if the judge was a woman if the sentence would have been different. Such a double standard.
