I think I can safely say that my absolute biggest pet peeve while I’m in public always happens at restaurants. I cannot stand to be in a large group of people when the food is being served and no one will take two minutes out of their ‘oh, so important’ conversations and listen to the waiter/waitress. I mean, come on! They’re trying to serve you quickly but you can’t help them out. 99% of the time it’s these very people that are complaining at the end of the meal that the service sucked. Drives me crazy!
What is your biggest public pet peeve?
I think that the older I get, the more I can appreciate just what Martin Luther King, Jr. accomplished in his short life. Enjoy these quotes on this MLK Day.
——————–
“Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies – or else? The chain reaction of evil – hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars – must be broken, or else we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.”
“If a man hasn’t discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.“
“It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.“
“Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.”
“Nonviolence is not the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time: the need for man to overcome oppression and violence. Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggresison and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.”

It seems to me that this man was incredibly wise and brave. It is sad to me that I didn’t get the chance to watch him first-hand.
