Don't know about pet hates....try not to focus on them and cut the people in my life and those I come in contact with a break as they do for me.Pet Loves:When DH does the shopping and I come home to flowers that he has arranged in a vase.My neighbour brings in my washing because they see the weather turning and know I'm at work.My DH leaves a note on the steering wheel of my car telling me he loves me.My DD turns up unexpectedly and says "Mum lets get pedicure"My SIL makes a calender using photos of family events from throughout the previous year.

You are obviously a very "spriritual" sort or person and you reap what you sow.

Amy, I'm going back to pet hates. To be honest, I haven't given this much thought but I think the top of my list would have to be (lack of) mobile phone etiquette. I hate having to listen to someone else's personal / private / commercial business in cafe's, on public transport, etc. - and usually in a very loud voice, just in case the person at the other end of the line is deaf. I also find it highly offensive if I am serving someone and their phone rings and they take the call without even excusing themselves - suddenly it's as if I am no longer present, the phone call takes priority and I am left standing there, wasting my time whilst they chatter on about (to me) totally inane subjects. GGGGRRRRRRRRRR
I use to be easily bothered and annoyed about a lot of things and then life dealt me a few of its harsh realities and I now nothing much bothers me at all.
Mobile phones are my pet hate. Or rather those who have loud conversations without regard for others.I was sitting with my sister waiting to see her cancer specialist in a rather sombre waiting room, when a woman, also waiting, answered her phone, speaking rather loudly to a friend about something she found amusing. After a moment or two she loudly yelled "Can you hear me .......can you hear me".An elderly lady, waiting with her obviously sick husband, leaned over to the woman and gently advised "Everyone can hear you dear."The woman flushed with embarrassment and quickly moved outside much to the relief of the rest of the patients .A hospital waiting room is hardly the place to have loud mundane mobile phone conversations. Whatever happened to manners.
And wine. Wine makes me very happy. Especially after driving home in peak hour.
I'm a bit like Michele. I really only have one strong dislike. I wouldn't say it was a hate. That is spelling errors in places they shouldn't be. Eg professional documents. And magazine zones, sign writing etc. I guess that is the teacher in me. I understand that people make spelling mistakes and that doesn't bug me.
