Have your pet peeves increased?

Since being preggo, my patience has gone out the window!

One of my biggest pet peeves is chewing gum, people cracking and snapping and chewing like a cow. It drives me nuts. I feel like my senses are heightened and everyone around me is chewing gum like a 16 year old valley girl. I can hear it from a block away like superman!

What really gets my goat is when clerks and cashiers chew gum while they're working! Isn't that #1 in the training manual, no gum?! I mean the teller at the bank, the chick behind the deli counter, the nasty cashier at Motherhood... spit out your gum and work!!!!

The best was the other day when I went to Carvel (oh yes I did!). There were two old ladies working, yacking away about who's daughter seeing who. This lady comes to help me, leans on the counter nearly putting her elbow in the reeses pieces... grabs a freaking walnut bare handed and shoves it in her mouth, chewing like cow says what can I getcha!!!!! If I was not PG and NEEDED that ice cream I would have walked out!!!

Are more little things driving you nuts since being preggo?

Re: Have your pet peeves increased?

ooooh yes!!! Im a b!tch on wheels alot of times!! No patience at all for things.

The best was last pregnancy.. I was doing a mammo on a lady. She kept moving and I kept telling her to stay still. So after wrestling with her.. I couldnt take it any longer.. and snapped. She then said "were you in the military".. I said "yes".. and she goes "i can tell".. I thought for sure I was getting a complaint, so told my boss. Then found out she went into waiting room telling all the other patients that I was the best tech shes ever had..

This pregnancy.. I hate when your looking at something and someone pushes into my tummy and steps in front of me and blocks my view.. I may be only 5' but I can get fiesty.. good thing dh is always there to lead me away.
