Friday Five!

And now, time for today's Friday Five!

1. What is your biggest pet peeve? Why? God, is my pet peeve list long. My biggest one, at least right now, is SUV drivers, usually on phones, that pay no attention to the road around them and act like there are no other cars out there. I hate those people.

2. What irritating habits do you have? I tend to pester people when I want something or need something done. Just ask Christine. Oh, and I cuss a lot. A whole lot.

3. Have you tried to change the irritating habits or just let them be? I've tried to not cuss as much, but as soon as I get irritated or frustrated, I start.

4. What grosses you out more than anything else? Why? People smacking their food or making gross sounds. Stuff like that always makes me want to puke.

5. What one thing can you never see yourself doing that other people do? Hmmm. No idea.

You? Pester? Really? I've never noticed.

There's so much feeling against SUVs, can't we unify it all into something effective? These people are image-driven, so have to be vulnerable. In the UK, we're just duplicating the US story, and the roads are much narrower! I understand Schwartznegger has "managed to persuade" the HumVee people to make a domestic version. Surely a properly orchestrated peaceful global campaign based on ridicule of the SUV driver's attitudes and values would produce results. I wanted to make a slogan of GTFTOTR (say it, it does have a poetical sound) and it stands for Get These * Things Off The Road. What do you think?
