PET PEEVES

Why don’t pitted olives have pits? Shouldn’t they be called Pittless olives?

Where are the shells on shelled nuts?  Shouldn’t they be called Deshelled or NoLongerhaveshells nuts?

While dining, we have been taught to cut meat with the knife in our right hand, fork in left, and then once meat is cut, we are instructed to put the fork back in the right hand in order to eat the meat..    Seems like its too much work. Cant the left hand maintain control and deliver the finished product. Too many steps.  Of course most of my friends do not use utensils, so they may not have this dilemma.

When the bread basket comes out at a restaurant, why do they give you hard frozen butter that doesn’t spread.  Nothing worse then eating a roll with a clump of butter in one spot.

Don”t you hate when you have to sign a receipt and the clerk hands you the pen and the point is not out and you go to sign and you have that terrible feeling of plastic and paper.   Kind of like finger nails on a chalk board..

I was driving on the Throgs Neck Bridge the other day, and the illuminated sign said “Aggressive Driving Strictly Enforced”    So confusing.  Are they recommending that I should be driving like a mad man. (sorry , Person)    My theory is that either the DOT is run by idiots or a bunch of ambulance chasing attorneys chipped in and put that sign up.
