My house is in a neighborhood with beautiful walking paths that meander through and around small wooded areas, ponds, and even a lake. My back yard faces the path and because the back yard is so narrow - it often feels like people are walking right through my back yard. I can deal with that. What is weird is when people slow down and stare into my house. It makes me feel like I'm on display --- like an animal at the zoo. {shudder}
I watch entirely too much TV. That means too many commercials too. Some of them just seem callous and hurtful. One is a woman selling a program for difficult and rebellious children. She brags that she knows the methods work because she used them on her own son. {Ouch!} I wonder how her son feels about it - and what kind of relationship she has with him now.
Another one has a couple young women with their mother. They are talking about an accident their father and her husband recently had - how it could have been much worse. One of the girls asks if they have looked into life insurance. Really? I would be much more concerned with comforting my mother and helping out in any way I could instead of reminding them of the possibility of death and making sure I didn't have to pay if something happened.
How about you? Any pet peeves you'd like to share?
