214. Having the doorbell ring in the middle of housecleaning and discovering that it is someone you must let through the door when everything is still at its worst. (In this case a surveyor who needed to measure the dimensions of my attic room with his laser weapon.)

Sweet of you, K, but we're not that particular how you leave it. It'll be in good hands.

Is my pillow fluffed? Is the mint on it well wrapped? Did you get that Arm & Hammer toothpaste I like? I am not going to be happy if the fridge is full of fur-bearing tupperware containters.

(It turns out that after all day every day for years, sick people do kind of get on the nerves. Which is why my career rotation scheme is such a genius idea. CEO scrubs toilets or picks strawberries for at least a month of his career, teaches middle school math, nurse's aide gets to edit front page of NYTimes for awhile or choose what will be the new Must Have color of the fashion season. Etc.)

Casimira, perhaps swatting at a mosquito on your blouse was just a sneaky ruse.

indeed, did they make a big play of helping you clean the blouse? Its the oldest trick in the book.
I find myself totally agreeing with Deyana at #222. Its probably the truest peeve so far in my opinion. (sorry to go off topic a bit) I am having an "I wish I had said that" moment.

225. complicated children clothes with lots of buttons and belts i can never figure out... can't they let their kids wear those on weekends, rather, and during the week give them a simple shirt and trousers you just pull up and down?

227. Women's clothes with no pockets for carrying keys, tissues or money. Any manufacturer who made men's trousers without pockets would go bankrupt.

229. Colleagues who every year have priority over me to chose the dates of their vacation because they have children and me not, and who explain me that I'm really lucky that I can go off-season when the rental prices are lower. (As if I cared about the price of vacation rentals anyway. I'm a traveler; I'm not a tourist!! ) For the same reason, teachers who complain that it's a disadvantage for them that their vacation falls during school holidays... (heard by one of my friends, who is a teacher, in a discussion with her colleagues)

230. Waiting rooms (doctor, dentist etc.) with loud tv's. I always bring a book to read, but it's really annoying to have to try to zone out Oprah or Rachel Ray or worse, the commercials!
