Easy peasy

Name your top three pet peeves.

I have difficulty dealing with people who are chronically late. To me the message is “my time is more important than yours.” but I’ve learned to deal with this by knowing who those people are. Now I just show up a little late.

I cruise a lot and it’s a petri dish for all kinds of illnesses. I use the stairs as much as possible or try to ride in an uncrowded elevator. I find people who apparently are still wearing masks, and not the ones that really work, push into the elevator even though it’s crowded. It’s almost silly, especially when the mask is below their noses.

I also find it trying to be around people who think they are the smartest kid on the block. If it’s a legal issue, they are now lawyers. If it’s a medical issue, they are doctors. I’ve learned to limit my time with these brilliant people and hang out with people who have some humility.
