Pet peeves.We all have them and it does not matter if they’re big or small because they just push that button that sets us off. It seems like the ones that bother me the most keep popping up.Like:

• You are at the Dunkin Donuts drive-thru looking to simply order a nice cup of coffee. The person in front of you gets to the window and places an order for Coolatta’s and iced lattes which often takes a couple of minutes. Then they decide to get a dozen donuts and begin polling the others in the car as to what flavors. As the drinks arrive they are still 2 donuts short of a dozen and can’t decide. I would like to decide for you!

• Equally frustrating are the experiences I’ve had a bank drive-thrus which are magnified when its normal business hours and the person could go inside to complete their transaction. Instead they pull up, ask for a slip and a pen and you are sitting there while they are filling out information. They send it to the teller, who has to send everything back because the customer had asked for a checking withdrawal when they really need one for their savings account. This is where you would like to withdraw them from their car.

• Here’s a pet peeve for the benefit of health. Do we have an excess of butter in this country because it sure seems like they spread and pack it on bagels and rolls like there is no tomorrow. Asking that they “lightly butter” it helps sometimes but more often or not you have to wipe some of it off with a napkin.

• Which leads me to my final pet peeve of the morning. You get something to go and more often than not napkins are not included. When you ask for them you either get a look of disgust or they give you a stack large enough to last a week. Just put the napkins in the bag in the first place. Please.
