I'm Not Your Friend, Buddy!

Pet Peeves. First off why are they called pet peeves? That's so dumb. They aren't pets!
Alright, I have three pet peeves and they really grind my gears.

1) When people refer to other persons as "Buddy"
I had Mr. Matthews for science in Grade 9 and he was a strict teacher but I learned a lot in his class and I actually felt I learned something. BUT, whenever Mr. Matthews told a story that involved more than one person he would call everyone buddy. Here's an example:

"The main character shot the tank of oxygen and it exploded and then BUDDY over to the left shot BUDDY over to the right and BUDDY in the wheelchair soiled himself."

THEIR NAMES ARE NOT BUDDY!

2) When people step on my heels.
I'm walking down the hallway or in a public place and I'm forced to shamble awkwardly in the crowd and every now and then I'll get my heels step on. It's more hurtful than a monkey stabbing you with a disease infested syringe and then you puking your guts up for the rest of the week until the next Zoo outbreak happens. When people step on a little bit of my shoe that's fine. But, when they get their entire foot on the back of my leg. That's when I snap.

It is more annoying than hurtful  but either way it sucks. I admit I do it to people by accident but that's because it's almost impossible to avoid in a crowd.

3) When I think about surgury I have a hard time walking...
I can't explain this one but I hate it.

  2. What the Hades is up with number 3???
    Too funny about Mr. Matthews. Did he ever call you "Big Guy"? That's another one of his classic terms. :) I miss him.

  3. So, I have a quiestion. SINCE we are friends, am I allowed to call you "buddy". I promise not to use it as a replacment to your name, I was just thinking I'd use it as a term of endearment. That cool?

  4. OH. MY. GOD.
    Yeah, I had Matthews in grade ten.
    I couldn't even listen to him speak, because anyone who wasn't his daughter was Buddy or Big Guy. I don't think he ever called any of the guys in the class by their real names.
