Pet Peves

             I guess one could say I have something in common with everyone I meet; that is we all have pet peeves. One of you in this room might have the same pet peeve as me, which is an inconsiderate person. I bet everyone in here has encountered an inconsiderate person; hey you yourself might be an inconsiderate person.
             Let me tell you about a recent experience that I had that really irritated me. Last week I went to get gas in the car because my brother left my car with no gas, so I guess you could say the adventure started with my brother being inconsiderate. Well at the gas station I thought I would be in and out fast. WRONG! I filled the car up, went in to pay with exact change figuring that would be faster, well anyway once I was inside, I saw an old lady getting lottery tickets, so I stood behind her patiently waiting to pay. The lady would pick a few tickets out then make the clerk total them, and then she'd decide she needed more, all the time knowing I was standing right behind her. This persisted for about 5 minutes until another clerk noticed me and offered to ring me out. This lady really irritated me because she knew that I couldn't go anywhere until she was done buying her lotto tickets, but instead of letting me go ahead of her real fast while she debated what tickets to get she made me wait, and that is why I cringe when I am around inconsiderate people!
