I know, because of the comments from last week, that many of you enjoy reading…
Ten On Tuesday
The theme for Ten on Tuesday this week is 10 Things That Turn You Off About People. Hunh. Not a particularly nice theme but I’ll give it a shot.
1. Bad breath. So gross.
2. Not respecting personal space. You all know the ones who just get tooclose, right?
3. Laziness. Work comes first – then play.
4. Rudeness. Please and thank you matter in my world.
5. Telling stupid jokes. Puh-lease.
6. Borrowing things and not returning them. Money, cars, my stuff. You borrow it, you bring it back when you say you will.
7. A big ego.
8. Bad grammar or mispelled words in a document. There’s just no excuse for this anymore.
9. Lying. I can always tell.
10. Self-righteousness. Climb on down off that high horse before you fall!
Okay, I did it. But now I feel all cranky. I hope next week’s theme is a happy one again!

Thinking about the worst in people does put one in a bad mood.
LOL!! Yeah, I can see how this topic would do that.
Oh Carole – I certainly agree with you! 10 times over!
Yeah, that left a sour taste. How’s this: 10 Things I Enjoy about CaroleKnits.
knitting talent * lovely photos * a peek at spinning * color * great recipes * sense of humor and goodwill * encouragement to try new things * seeing a part of the country I’d like to visit * feeling like I’ve had a cup of coffee with a kindred spirit * a source of creative inspiration.
Yeah, I had the same hesitation! The thing is, I agree with all of yours, yet my list is different – there certainly are many ways to turn people off!!
It certainly isn’t a very positive thing to ponder. I do agree with most of your list 100%.
Number 8, definitely number 8!
You would tell me, nicely, if I were doing any of these, right?
good list. I agree. And I would add people who don’t follow through on what they say they are going to do – oh yeah.. and dishonesty is such a big one…
grrrr..
definitely a cranky thought
Hope you are feeling Happy by now – I read you first every day because you are always so happy and positive. You make my day happy.
What you say bothers you about others I also agree with and could add a few more – oops, negative. Anyway, there is no excuse for any of it.
Have a Happy Day!
I know what you mean. I especially hate it when someone says or writes, for example, “she gave the yarn to John and I.” Hardly anyone in the English speaking world knows the difference between a subject and an object anymore.
Good list! I got a little cranky after writing mine as well; it’s hard not to.
#3 is my personal pet peeve. Makes me want to get a stick after someone. Especially if I am PAYING them to actually do something (like make a sandwich, for cryin’ out loud).
Your thoughts and mine match pretty well – too bad there isn’t spell check on blog comments though.
Now that you’re all cranky, you can do some spinning for Team CrankyPants. ;^)
Oooh – grammer and spelling! Don’t get me started!
Happy thoughts…happy thoughts….is that helping any?
I love your blog and read it frequently! You are an amazing knitter and complete so many projects!!
But #8 – I’m sorry, isn’t that “misspelled”?
