I had to read your post twice to get the full impact of it. I appreciate reading what you have to say. It’s unfortunate that more people do not understand the benefits of coaching. Keep up the good work.

AMEN! Wow! My son says about people…”Big talk, little walk!” Talk is so cheap…it is time the people of God stop the talking and get to work!

also one more peeve of mine is…when someone pulls right out in front of you causing you to SLAM on your brakes! Looking in your rear view mirror there is no one behind you. Could they have not waited another 20 or so seconds.

I’m gonna borrow some already posted and in some cases put a new twist on them. Then add a few…

1. People w/ too many items in the 20 items or less line.
2. People who are blessed w/ a special gift but ignore it to do something they are interested in but are no good at.
3. A person that brings nothing to the table.
4. Negative energy.
5. Old dogs that won’t learn new tricks.
6. Picking up the ramen noodle crumbs/wrapper off the kitchen counter and floor.
7. People who don’t listen during a debate/conversation, but instead are thinking to what they are going to say next.
8. Coaches who run the smoke draw on 3rd down.
9. The triple or quadriple urchin. That’s when you are following 3 or 4 games on TV and they are all at commercial.
10. Kids who don’t answer their cell phone when you call them. Especially when you are the one paying the bill.

Hmmm, have a lot of what y’all guys said so it’s hard to come up with original ones. But here goes:
These are from Pat and me:
1-Prideful people
2-Procrastinating people
3-Parents of children(and pets!)who allow their kids to run amuck and scream (or bark) in public places
4-no call no shows
5-Name droppers
6-Social climbing-can go along with number 5!
7-busybodies-trying to get the “untold story”-people who can outdo the National Enquirer.
8-people who use generic, canned, or unbelievable excuses
9-those limp, lightly patting on the back fake hugs-like you’re afraid to break them or something
10-leaving a half ounce of iced tea or coffee in the container without making a new pot.
12-pot stirrers-people who are not happy unless turmoil or drama is happening
13-people who walk with black clouds over their heads-sucking the energy out of you
14-people who don’t return my calls
15-people who are habitually late

1. My motives for doing something being judged before asking me.

2. Saying you “know” me when you really don’t.

3. Treating me as though I have nothing of real value to contribute w/o knowing what I am really capable of doing or what I have been doing.

4. Saying “I have a place here” but only being willing to give me “busy work”.

1) Energy Leachers – They want to tell you all their problems and issues but when the subject changes to your issues they are ready to bow out of the conversation.

2) Noisy eaters

3) Teenagers being immature at the fast food counter.

4) Watching others enjoy an inside joke but not ever being filled in. Makes you think of how you talk as a Christian and how that can exclude people. Talking about our faith should not be like an inside joke to others not filled in!

1) stupid people

I thought of a few more throughout the day –

11) People that make a dishonest living by omitting information, cheating the system, or being manipulative in order to get something for nothing.

12) People who throw a fit when their food doesn’t taste like it was sent down straight from Heaven, or if something on the order was wrong – and I’ve got to give some advice on this one – STOP FREAKING OUT, PEOPLE! You’re causing people to hate you when you do this, and there’s a great chance that the undercooked steak you just flipped on the waitress about, is coming back overcooked, and with saliva on it.

13) When people form opinions strictly based on what “the son of a lady that my mom’s friend works with” said. Anything worth having an opinion about is worth while to investigate.

14) When people make a horrible decision/commitment against the majority’s better judgment, and then blame others for their mistake.

15) Remembering more of my pet peeves after I’ve already submitted my comment.

1. Piling dishes in both sides of the sink instead of washing them or just sticking them in the dishwasher.One side is bad enough but both sides is really a pet peeve!LOL!
2. When you are talking to someone and they are only thinking about what they want to say instead of listening to you.
3. When someone thinks his/her time is way more important than everyone elses.
