20 Pet Peeves...

    Frequently Cherith and I find ourselves trapped in a vehicle with one another for hours on end. We know each other very well at this point. And we know just how to get under one anothers' skin. So we thought, why not torture ourselves a little bit more and share with our readership how to drive us bonkers. (Actually, we just needed an easy countdown idea for our next co-author piece and this fell in our laps. Happy coincidence for you evil people out there who will take advantage of this.)
    So here you go, bloodsuckers! You know all our little secrets and can use them against us.

    In no particular order...

20) Anyone scraping their teeth on a fork...
-Cherith

19) Having to sit in a room with my back to the crowd.
-Corinna

18) People flashing me to turn off my brights...how dare they.
-Cherith

17) Ice in my beverages.
-Corinna

16) Sponges. I hate Sponges.
-Cherith

15) People who drive too slow...
-Corinna

14) Hours-old, musty washcloths.
-Cherith

13) People who drive too fast...
-Corinna

12) Constant sniffing. Not the allergy kind, but the "I-have-congestion-and-I'm-too-lazy-to-stand-up-and-grab-a-Kleenex" kind.
-Cherith

11) People who don't drive exactly like me...just kidding. But I actually can't stand coming to a 4-way stop, and someone who clearly is supposed to go first sits there and waves you on. I understand these people are attempting to be Good Samaritanly...BUT JUST DRIVE! We could have all been where we were headed by now if I hadn't been trying to read your hand signals through the glare on your windshield!!
...Sorry. I'm okay.

10) Christmas lights up in the summer.
-Cherith

9) Tom Cruise and his off-center teeth
-Corinna

8) People who fritter away their money and are terrible budgeters, but complain about the fact they never have any money.
-Cherith

7) Oh, you thought I was kidding, did you?

    Never mind.
    My number seven is pink flamingo lawn ornaments...or most lawn ornaments.
-Corinna

6) Not having a direction. Planning on doing nothing for a while is fine with me, but I like to plan doing nothing.
-Cherith

5) Bathrooms with no paper towels and weak blow dryers.
-Corinna

4) Sour laundry.
-Cherith

3) Katie Cassidy. And her face. And her breathing. And her crying. And...
-Corinna

2) People who get rid of their pets.
-Cherith

1) When I have multiple tabs open and music starts playing...or a voice starts talking...somewhere.
-Corinna

    And there you go. Freebies to torture us soundly. Tell your friends.
    Actually, guys, we love to do co-author pieces and countdowns. But we need some ideas for countdowns we could do. Have any you'd like to see from us? Go!
