I think a lot of people are confusing "Pet Peeve" with having an axe to grind. Maybe I am... (shrug)

 

 

 

Oh that reminds me of another Pet Peeve I have, with people telling me how to grind my axe. :pullhair:

 

You can stop grinding your "axe" on my leg anytime now.

:taptaptap:

Kinda my pet peeve.

 

Maybe.

:banana:

 

 

If I was grinding my Axe on your leg, you'd know it....and yes I was grinding my axe on your leg just then.

 

You Axe has a capital A. :blush:

 

 

Go the other way; what's smaller than an Axe? A hatchet? gardening shears? nail clipper?

 

:insane:

People who reach the top of the escalator and just stand there looking around. I actually saw this once in a large department store in downtown SF. A little scary as she was elderly and the people behind her had seconds to get her moving.

Going up the escalator? I am guilty of stopping prior to descending on an escalator. Because I have balance problems in certain places they have this dang swirly patterned flooring or worse the light strips on some parts of the flooring or sides of the escalator and my balance just goes kablooey . My husband usually stands in front of me and I rest my forehead on his shoulder and keep my eyes closed. But if I am by myself or he is busy I do pause and wait for quite awhile before taking the first step. Up no problems..down *gack*

I hate that danged Justin Beiber haircut..he is bad enough but that haircut OMG it sucks..and that haircut guys have where the bangs completely obscures the eyes..

I want to carry around barrettes to give them to pull back their bangs so I can see the face.

This wasn't a balance thing. When she reached the top she was apparently quite taken with the glittering displays (it was a high end downtown department store) and was just standing there gawking like a tourist.

I do not understand why like theaters,casinos, and malls put these blinky lights on stairs and escalators. Pair that with a swirly patterned tile or carpet or wallpaper/art that is patterned I start feeling all woozy and start to teeter..

 

Only on the down escalator or down the steps..up I am fine.

You misread the situation. It was the person in front of her who had to stop to check her Blackberry so that she could update her Facebook page she had just gone up an escalator, and was thinking of getting a coffee at Starbucks.

 

doh!

I would :roflmao: but the frightening reality of such a possibility precludes jocularity.

My house sits on a 40 X 100 lot. My house takes up half the property. I have a couple of shrubs in the backyard where the wildlife (feral cats and racoons mostly) like to hang out at night. I have no need for an axe, much less a sharpened one. I do have a sledgehammer, a nice sharp shovel, a few baseball bats and a homemade club I keep by my bed for use on intruders/zombies. alas, i live in NYC so my constitutional rights are abridged and I cannot keep my best zombie killing option, my shotgun, in the house. it's tucked away at my bro's upstate until the law changes.

 

it ticks me off because the zombie killing tools I have at home are inadequate with pain resistant face-eating zombies who can take a few bullets to the body wandering the streets. i need my trusty shotgun to aim at the head, a sledghammer to the cranium might not be enough.
