Yesterday as i waited for my first anti-natal appointment (FINALLY , nothing to report as was just a booking in thing) i got to thinking on stuff that annoy me. So welcome to todays list 
1 – Waiting – As in waiting for what feels like hours at the doctors, waiting for dinner to be done, waiting for a bus . Ok i admit im a pretty impatient person .
2 – Lateness – I think this ties into waiting, i hate been kept waiting so try to never do it to others . Hence the reason i normally show up to everything much to early , i can just about cope till the time comes but once the time i was suppose to be there for comes i get more and more frustrated.
3 – Names – This is silly but i don’t get why people choose to spell there children’s names in such strange ways .You know what i mean silly stuff like Klwoey rather than Chloe , Errinn for Erin or Mhaxx for Max. I could come up with dozens of examples and it bugs me each and every time (I know some of you are thinking that im hypocritical here, yes Eilidh looks weird and sounds nothing like its said but this is the traditional spelling – if we had decided to go for Ailey instead then we would of been choosing to spell it a “weird” way
4 – Do You Know? – I get this question nearly every time i go somewhere new online as in “Oh i once visited Scotland and stayed in this small town called blahblahblah , have you been there?” or even worse “Oh my neighbor has relatives in Scotland called “Smith” Do you know them? . Yes Scotland is small for a country but some people seem to think that its about the size of Disneyland. (Stolen slightly from Siobhan)
5 – Clutter – Visiting my home you may be shocked at this but i really hate clutter, i love simple and basic with free clear spaces. My problem is i live in a small two bedroom flat with three other people and almost no storage so its impossible to be clutter free. I love the idea of moving into a house and have so much space.
6 – Laziness – If your house is a mess clean it, you need something fixed fix it. Again maybe slightly hypocritical as there is millions of things i should be doing during nap times but instead i play the computer, my defense is im busy the rest of the day and it really helps recharge my batteries. Its more those people that do nothing all day and constantly moan how they cannot manage this and that
7 - Dumping Kids – Not as in leaving them as nursery or a childminder (i do understand some parents have to work) but as in those parents who leave there kids for nights at a times every week so they can go and party. I always find this worse when the kid is still a baby, a week old baby should be staying no where other that with his/her mother. Some parents seem to think its there “right” to have as much free time off as they desire.
8 – Missing Beginning TV Shows – This really bugs me , i hate missing the beginning of a tv show and yes that includes the credits . Even if they never change i “must” watch them.
Going to stop now because i have not even scratched the surface of stuff that annoy me, maybe they will be a part two in the future.
You answered my question- I was going to ask you how you pronounce Eilidh. I’m assuming it’s pronounced Ailey- I NEVER would have worked that one out.
I’m with you on the names thing. One of my annoyances is when people give their child a first and middle name, and then call the kid by the middle name. This creates a PAIN later on in life. My husband was named that way so anytime we fill out paperwork we have to put his first name, which isn’t what he’s known by, and then people try to call him that, and he doesn’t respond, so they’re like, “Well why did you put that down as your name?” Urgh! Aggravating!
I still don’t have a clue how you say Eilidh name lol… But I think it is pretty no matter how it sounds… What I hate is when people tell me their kid is as active as Lorelei… and then when you meet them they are nothing but sloth kids… they sit and do NOTHING… heck I am pulling Lore off the bookshelf kicking and screaming because she wants to climb… hehehe!
Ditto! And, I was taught that people who are chronically late really believe your time is less valuable than theirs..ie you can wait on them, because they are more important than you are. And, kid dumping? I can think of maybe 15 times I have been out since the baby came without him. I couldn’t do it.
I agree with everything on your list! Although my mom might disagree with the clutter one! I am extremely impatient and try really hard to get places on time, we usually end up getting places very early, but it’s better than being late!
Ohmigosh I am so with you on the name thing.
My name is Frances & I actually saw someone with the same name spell it Phrances. I wanted to scream!
I am a total “always early” girl. As a child, my mom was perpetually late taking my sister and me everywhere: to friends houses, doctor appointments, school, etc. I vowed once it was up to me, I would always be early!
Hehe, you are so funny! And we share many of the same pet peeves. I am NOT a patient person either!! And I can’t stard bizzar-o name spellings – which is crazy since my daughter’s full name is Nadezhda, but that is a classic name is some areas.
