Pet Peeves...
1) Corruption - people lining their own pockets at the expense of the man on the street
2) Snobs - people who look down on others using material possessions as the measuring stick.
3) Bad Manners... my old man told me manners cost nothing. He was right.
4) People who can't hold their hand up. If you're wrong, out of order or have been an arse, hold your hand up.
5) Liars.
6) Cheats
my greatest pet peeve has to be selfishness.
and these people who do the very things you are talking about are plain selfish among other things.
I have always considered "selflessness" to be absolutely vital. it means something to me and it is something to be proud of.
it is something to strive for every single day.
every single day we should do little something for somebody other than ourselves.
I was born and raised with this philosophy and I have never ever lost sight of it.
we give first and foremost and then we worry about receiving.
it is the way of the warrior.
