I have written so many “heavy posts” that I decided to write a “lighter” one on a subject I have been thinking about for quite some time. As you younger folks will see, things that bothered you in your 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s—especially when you become a senior—get under your skin a little bit more. Fortunately, at 63, I can complain about them more because I really don’t care what people think. Just ask my family!

So here is a list my top 10 pet peeves:

1. Wasting good food at home and having to throw it out. Hate it so much.
2. My car telling me every time I turn it on that I need service or an oil change and not being able to turn the message off.
3. Soup that isn’t hot. Warm isn’t good enough anymore.
4. Waiting in line forever to get something to eat at a Blues hockey game.
5. Playing behind slow golfers and then not letting us “play through”.
6. Not being able to wash my hands after I workout at a gym.
7. Every time I pickup food to go or buy food at a sporting event, they ask for a tip on the screen before I complete the transaction. When did that become a thing?
8. The cost of taking my dogs to the vet. I always feel that I’m getting “bent over” when I walk in their office.
9. My car’s automatic braking system when it stops me while I’m backing out of my garage going less than one mile an hour.
10. Drug ads on tv. They drive me crazy. How are they even legal?

That’s my list. I hope some of them resonate with you or make you chuckle. Because we all need some levity in the crazy world we live in today..
