1) No Tomato

When I say "no tomato".....WHY DO YOU ADD TOMATO ?  Sometimes, it's one piece of tomato, as if they are screwing with me.

Oddly enough, I eat ketchup/catsup, tomato sauce, spaghetti sauce, salsa (if it's not too chunky).  Just don't want big chunks of tomato on/in my food.  I  worked at a fast food restaurant when I was a teenager and I saw too many iffy tomatoes go into a salad bar or on a burger and it ruined me for them.  (I, of course, was careful what made it's way to the customer but many people don't care). 

2) Crumbs In The Butter

Why?  Just why?  

We put a man on the moon, People.

I can butter my toast and leave little evidence for the forensic team.

3) Mold

I have a mother and a boyfriend who live by the philosophy that, it's ok to just pick the mold off of the bread or the cheese and move on with your life..  

No !!  Just No !!

I'm not eating that.

Mold is God's way of saying, "Part with another $2.00 -$5.00 and go shopping".  

There is no way I could enjoy a penicillin sandwich.

4) Confidence vs Risk

People who allow their small children to trail behind them (or too far ahead of them) in a parking lot without holding onto them ensuring their safety. 

CARS CANNOT SEE SMALL CHILDREN WALKING BEHIND THEM.  Not everyone has a back-up camera.

Your child may be responsible but the driver of that F350 may not be or, and imagine this.....they are just human and they may not be able to see your kid.  

Hold their hands or carry them in a parking lot.  

Is your confidence in your small child's ability worth the risk that they may be killed or injured?  

Oh....shopping carts.  MAKE THEM SIT DOWN so that the vegetable you take home from the grocery store doesn't have a middle name, a birthdate and the need for a feeding tube.

5) Shopping Cart Etiquette

Look, just follow normal traffic laws and we'll all get out alive.

Don't abandon your cart at a diagonal while searching for the perfect hot sauce 50 feet away.

If someone approaches and you're on the wrong side of the road, do the right thing and MOVE.

Don't walk with your 7 children in a chorus line formation.  I had a Facebook friend refer to this as "The Flying Wedge".  HA!!!!  

I'm nice, (yes...I am.  I'm also occasionally annoyed by stupid people).  so....here's the deal.  If you are taking up the entire width of the aisle, I will not offer the magic password, I will not say "excuse me" when I am not the one needing to be excused.  I will either stop, at a diagonal, until you decide you are ready to further navigate or, and this is my favorite, I'll move your cart since you lack the ability.   I'm pretty hard to miss so, if you are preventing me from passing and my presence is obvious, then I REFUSE to ask to be excused.
