National Grouch Day

I have tried to be quasi-positive in my posts, but sometimes, you just have to let it out.  So In observance of "National Grouch Day" - Yeah, I made that up - I am going to list a few of the random things that tick me off.  

1.  Grey days -I can almost take cold and I can almost take hot but I can't stand grey!
2.  Folks who talk or text while driving- you're handling a 2000 pound weapon there... And you're not that great at multi-tasking.
3.  Cashiers, waitresses or nurses who call me "Honey" or Sweetie" - first of all, you don't know if I'm sweet ( Many days, I'm not!) and it's condescending to an older woman.
4.  Large portions at restaurants -  how about serving us half of that and charging us less?
5.  Most commercials on TV- especially, the feminine product ones, the erectile dysfunction ones and any that make the Dads look like idiots.
6.  Gasoline prices- How can they be so different from gas station to gas station?  One part of town as much as 50 cents a gallon from another part of town.  Who sets these prices?
7.  People who illegally park in handicapped spots-  Really?  Get some exercise and park where you're supposed to...on the other hand, excessive handicapped spots.  Does a roller rink really need 10 of 'em?
8.  Unkind people- life's hard enough for a lot of folks without adding -being treated  shabbily- to their list of things to contend with.
9.  Pet owners who walk their dogs and don't clean up after them.  I have my own dog and  after the winter we've had, I've got plenty to clean up myself.
10.  Vendors who rush the seasons- I get it- you have to be a bit ahead of things but I don't want to buy a winter coat in July or a bathing suit in February!  (Truth be told, I don't wanna buy a bathing suit EVER!)

There!  I'm done with my grumbling til next year's "National Grouch Day"...  Oh, yeah, and I can't stand liars!
