Description
Pet Peeves
You know how
Some things just
Bug you?
Walking through the office
Someone stops me.
"Oh! Tara!
I have a question for you."
The truth is
They had a question.
Not specifically for me,
Just a question.
But they SAW me,
And decided to use
My brain
Instead of their own.
I have a new pet peeve
Actually, it's the same one
Just modified for the
Electronic Age
Browsing through images
Reading people's comments
The artist says,
"This is a picture of
Such-and-such."
Or perhaps
They use a big word
Someone doesn't know
The comment says,
"Where is this?"
"What does that word mean?"
Now there's nothing wrong
With not knowing
But I wonder ...
By virtue of the fact
That the commenter
Has commented,
I know two things:
One:
They know how to
Read, write,
And use a keyboard
Two:
They have access
To the Internet
The most powerful tool
In the entire world
For gathering knowledge
Is at your fingertips
Right this very minute
Look
It
Up!

Intelligent humor at it's very best. #;oD
That does, however imply that they will use their brain to do it that way, they'd rather not expend the energy with such a simple task as doing it themselves. I was going to go on a rant about spelling but decided against it. Great commentary, by the way!
pet peeves-- you guys bad grammar drivers who don't signal i could go an and on, but you've said it so well----!!
hahahh beachzz have miss typeo just like me or she did it to show another pet peeve of some people. lol anyway this is wonderful done and I try not to use other people brain for a lot of time is wrong imformation
And when they ask those questions, in the comments, are they really expecting you to answer them?????? aarrggggggg............... I could create a list as well...
Very well stated, Tara. I've noticed at times that the person posting tells about the picture and then someone asks a question that makes it obvious they didn't read what was written. One of my pet peeves...people that chew ice - just drives me nuts.
I always wanted to be a great writer, and now I are one.
Excellent! You say it so well!
This makes you stop and think...uh, oh,...am I on the list?
very funny thoughts! but because I am german I have to use your brain becuase do understand only the half LOL
Beautifully put! "You can't blame me for taking the easy way out..." was a comment I had from a brain leach the other day. Actually, I can.
Well written Tara, I have a list that would use up all the avaliable characters here :)...For instance, where you mention "Where is it?"...what the hell does that matter, we are an art community, and post images for their artistic merit, where the "Park" or "Building" actually is isn't important!...good Rant :)
... have you tried putting down newspapers by the back door my neighbor says that they work great for her pets but, I don't know... b.
thanks for the smile made me want to ask you a question lol maybe the sunrise will answer wonderful work, Tara May thank you my friend warm hug and love, Linda Kaye
I have pet peeves about this site that are growing by the day... how about the complete lack of constructive criticism on posted work here?
Well written!
great words !!
I hope I'm not on the list also...now I'm scared...well done anyway Tara
(I was gonna say 'what does peeve mean' but that would be a poor joke...) Well expressed & well written & versified too. (Nice grouping into thoughts, a nice flow.) Very nicely written, and I like the pink visual too—I like the shading & the paper texture as well as the font.
Thats to easy Tara and now that I know what your peeve is I`ll ask some more questions lol :o)..Kidding Mick
lol, I love it! Look it up! Behold the mighty power of google!
