    This series of writing assignments is inexplicably interesting. I know someone who despises green peppers as much as I despise seafood … (it touched my plate? I will eat nothing on the plate).

    Pet Peeves? Asking me what I do for a living when you first meet me. I get it. You want to measure me, judge me, etc. This is why my response is usually “I sit on my ass all day in front of the computer for a living”.

    Second pet peeve. Standing unaware in the way. I hate when people park in the middle of the aisle of a grocery store, in front of a doorway, and are unaware of their surroundings to the extent that they block people from moving along, while chatting, or being distracted. If you are just genuinely looking at products in an aisle, and are there, fine. Take up the space you need to do the shopping at whatever speed you want. But if you’re just gonna chat with your friend about that awesome party you went to last night, then just be aware of surroundings, or try to stand out of the way so you can be blissfully unconscious while not getting in people’s way.

    Third pet peeve. Pushy Sales people. This just gets under my skin from the moment you begin your pitch. If I know it’s coming, then it begins as soon as you smile at me.
