    Peeve: Victoria's Secret doesn't believe in anything bigger than a C cup.

    So I have a gift card to Victoria's Secret (don't ask... long story).

    I can not find ANYTHING there that fits me. Even their pajama bottoms are designed for the butts of 10 year olds. But I'm wandering through, looking for ANYTHING, and the sales clerk tells me, straight faced, "oh, most of our customers as old as you just spend gift cards on lotions and perfume".

    I'm 33, for god's sake!

    OMG Synn, that's ridiculous. So what are they saying, that anyone over 15 doesn't want sexy lingerie that fits? Arrrrrrr! :(

    We should protest. ;)

    Well, what's TRULY hilarious about this is that the long story about the gift card is that I got it complaining about their customer service to begin with.

    That's sad. I think all us larger breasted women should go to Victoria Secret together, arms locked, and complain! Hell no we won't go, hell no we won't go! :)

    Nah... I just don't go there anymore.

    I've called them on it several times over the years, and they always CLAIM they are working on a "larger women's" selection, but I'm offended by that term as well.

    When you go to see male strippers, and you only have a pocket full of Loonies or Toonies to stuff in. (eh, lol) Ooopppsss! I guess that isn't a peeve... that would be a plus when you look at it right! How much more weighed down can those thongs get? :p

    (I suppose we could tip with a roll of quarters?)

    Ran into another pet peeve today: People that must back straight out of a parking place and clear the front of the vehicle before turning the wheels.

    Since parking was mentioned...

    My wife was with her boss headed out to lunch and she pulled into the lot and proceeded to back in to her parking spot, as she often does, at my urging. It takes a little longer sometimes to slip in and she sometimes takes the clearer, more open spot that's a few cars further away from the door.

    He, clearly annoyed by her habit, asked smartly if she did this so everyone could get a better view of her shiny grill and detailed headlamps. This had become a pet peeve of his.

    Once into the spot she explained she did this for two reasons... first, often when you survey a spot you get a good overall glance of your surroundings and know where pedestrians are. Backing in with a better awareness of the area was safer than backing out after contorted glances with bad sightlines within the cabin, often with little awareness of the area after getting in, putting keys in, etc... after all, many little kids couldn't be clearly seen through the back window of the truck... so she does it, in part, to avoid hitting an errant child when leaving.

    Second, the battery is in the front of the car. Should the car need jumped, facing outward is the best bet for easy access.

    Being a father of three wild, unpredictable boys, and being that his job, in part, is tied some to forcasting risk, he apparently he shut the heck up and never mentioned it again.

    Parents that are too busy on their cellphones texting or talking, and let their kids run out of a store into a busy parking lot, and then scream and swear (in front of their kids) at the drivers, calling THEM irresponsible!
