This is probably my first actual 'rant' since I've started blogging.

So we all have those little pet peeves that drive each and every one of us crazy. Some more than others and some really  just depend on our mood. You know.... Like when my mom never says goodbye on the phone, but I think she's still there long after she's hung up. When I don't get that 'courtesy wave' when I let a vehicle in front of me on the road. Dishes in my kids rooms. Rude people. People who walk in a crosswalk like they have no where to go and no time limit to get there. My girls socks that are ALWAYS inside-out. I could go on and on I'm sure, but today I'm going to focus on people spitting out their gum out on the ground. It seems lately that if there is a piece of gum on the ground anywhere in this town, somebody is going to step in it and yes.... that somebody is me!

Ok.. First, this to me is like me hitting the fast food joint and throwing my garbage on the ground which directly collides with rude. Secondly, most everything around here either evaporates or melts into some hot goo. In this case.... hot goo. To make matters worse, I'm a flip-flop wearing kind of girl most of the time. What this really translates into is that I flip a string of hot goo up and then it gets flopped right onto my foot. UGH! I have stepped in more gum the past 6 months than ever I think. What the heck? My boyfriend says that I need to watch where I'm walking, but cmon! Do I really have to keep my eyes focused down and out for someone else's scented mouth trash?? Shouldn't I be able to walk with my head held high? Is it honestly that far to the trash can?? No scrap paper ... anywhere??  Ok, I think I'm done.    =)
