Pet Peeve #44: When people sing while waiting in line.

It is a typical morning, and I am extremely too tired to function at work. On days like that my morning is sponsored by none other than Starbucks. I do not like coffee, but I am a fan of coffee products. It is not even 8 o’clock in the morning, and I am standing in this incredibly long line at Starbucks. I am a tad bit flustered because there is another Starbucks two blocks away, but I assume everyone wanted to visit the same Starbucks as yours truly. I am in line with two eyes fighting to open, and I hear this sound. I hear the sound of someone signing. In my Stewie Griffin voice, I am thinking, “I hear singing. Who is singing”? The guy in front of me was apparently some vocal student or something, and he decided to do his warm up exercises while waiting in line.

Sidebar-This pet peeve is similar to Pet Peeve #11: When people rap or sing aloud in public places; however it is a little different. No one actually likes to wait for anything, which may explain why we pay extra money for the fastest service or product of almost everything. Therefore, people waiting in line are a little disturbed due to the wait. This pet peeve comes with a different level of pissivity.

Dude in line was going at it with the vocal warm ups. I wanted to kick him in the face and give him his coffee. No one wants to hear you sing in line, especially early in the morning. Stop doing auditions while people are waiting in line. SO RUDE! STOP IT! UGH!

Pet Peeve #6: When people sit next to me on the bus and there are 15 open available seats.



I would take the bus to work and my stop was one of the first stops, so seating was always abundant. There was a particular window seat I preferred and my stop would allow me to sit there every day. I am sitting on the bus getting my mind right for a day of work. Everything is peaceful until someone sits next to me on the bus. It is 7:15 in the morning and someone has just tested my gangster! Are YOU Serious?! This person just walked by 15 open available seats and walks to the back of the bus to sit next to me. Not a guy trying to talk to me, but it is always some random lady in her middle 50’s. Foolishness on all levels! I gave her a few minutes thinking she will realize sitting next to me is pointless, but she does not move. Watching more people get off the bus is adding fuel to the fire and the lady does not move. Eventually I gave the lady the 3 second stare and just got up and sat at another seat. I just do not feel like people respect the personal space of other people these days. STOP IT! Ugh!
