#L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 4-22-20 – Silliest Pet Peeves

Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 4-22-20.  My Silliest Pet Peeves. Wow, going to strain my brain on this one.  Please have a seat, grab a hot chocolate also got lemonade and chocolate chip cookie. Lets get started with my silliest pet peeves.

People that talk through the movie or a television show. while you trying to watch it.

People that don’t put their dogs on leash when it is required, like neighborhood parks and regional parks.  Especially now with social distancing. If you want to exercise your dog off leash, go to a dog park. Don’t spoil other’s walking their dog on lead obeying the rules.  Your dog may love everyone and every dog, but there are dogs or people out there that don’t appreciate uninvited attention from an unknown dog. (Putting my soap box away now.)

People who don’t pick up after their dogs, at the park, in other peoples yards or public places (sidewalks). Can you believe it?

FYI – I do own a dog, she is very well behaved and well trained (Spent her first 2.5 years in various dog training classes.  Still she is always leashed and by my side when we go for a walk.

People that don’t make their children behave in public places.

A can opener that doesn’t open the entire can. Leaves the last quarter inch uncut.  Silly isn’t it?

Reading a book that ends in a cliff hanger. I think those should display a warning “Cliffhanger”.  I guess you’re supposed to buy the next book to find out what happens. But there is no guarantee it won”t end the same way.  I don’t mind a happy for now ending, but cliff hanger, I usually won’t  continue reading the series. Yep that’s why I write Paranormal Romance/Mystery, I like a happily ever after with lots of magic.  If I want cliff hangers, all I have to do is turn on the TV news.

 

So there you have it, My Silliest Pet Peeves. I’d love to hear from you. Do you have silly pet peeves? List them in the comments below. 

Alas, I must return to my writing cave  where deadlines loom on a new WIP (very exciting and coming along very well) so let’s see what other authors list as their silly pet peeves.  L&SR

A Demon’s Witch started it all is on SALE FOR 99 PENNIES for a limited time. It was my debut novel, and the first in A Demon’s Witch Series which has grown to five books and I am working of the sixth as I type.  The series has gotten several awards as well as being a best seller. 

Undeniable attraction and dark secrets between demon and witch promises to tear apart their professional and personal worlds.

Keeping a lid on all the paranormal beings inhabiting Washington D.C., is a daunting job. Bruce, a six hundred year old demon and the Territory Overlord of the Western Hemisphere, keeps his finger on the pulse of DC’s power players through the activities at his highly successful Wycked Hair Salon. His movie star good looks and body builder physique keeps his dance card full and the rumor mills running.  Within these walls, his anonymity is safe, mostly.

Bruce’s world spins out of control when Angelique, a pint size, gorgeous witch, with an attitude breezes through the doors of his salon. She is the younger sister of Tristian, Bruce’s long time trusted enforcer, whose professional skills are second to none. Tristian is furious at the relationship between Bruce and Angelique, a dangerous situation, but something darker awaits them all. Yet undeniable attraction between demon and witch promises to tear apart both their professional and personal worlds.

A Sneak Peek into A Demon’s Witch!

Suddenly, he felt the magic aura shift and switched his attention to the front door. She breezed in, hair like spun gold flowing to her waist, with a seductive yet regal body and a sway to her hips that should be illegal even in DC. She wore a snug rose and cream colored sweater, cut low enough he could see the swells of her rounded breasts, tailored black slacks that fit her cute ass like a glove and four-inch spike heels. She paused in the center of the salon, wet from the sudden spring storm, and lowered the briefcase she’d used as an umbrella. Her sparkling violet eyes glanced up to the mezzanine where Bruce stood watching. Blatantly her gaze wandered over his well-muscled body, undressing him piece by piece, until he felt naked. He shook his head slightly and smoothed his shirt and slacks with his hand, just to make sure he was still wearing them.

Thanks for popping in. I really appreciate it. Next week, April 29 topic is Reason Why I Stopped Reading A Series I Loved.  Boy that’s going to be interesting and fun! Why Did You Stop Reading A Series You Loved? ?

    All of those things irritate me, too! I once saw a dog get hit by a car because they were walking down a busy street in my city without wearing a leash. I don’t know what happened next, but I hope the dog was okay.

  • Agreed about loose dogs! Had to chuckle about the cliffhangers 😉

  • Megan Slayer says:

    Oh my yes with the dog poo and the off leash walking. I’m always afraid someone’s dog will get a wild hair and decide to charge another dog or my dog. My dog is skittish around people because she was abused before we adopted her, so she’s fearful of dogs off leash unless she’s in her house. So I get it. Good post.

    • Thank you Megan, my dog (when she was a puppy) and I were attacked by a neighbors yellow lab (Can you believe it), so we are always a bit worried on our walks. But we both had to get over it. Glad you stopped by!

  • Raye says:

    Ugh. Yes!! I hate cliffhangers. Especially if the next book isn’t released yet!!

    Also yes, hate dogs that aren’t leashed. I don’t know you and I don’t trust that you’ve trained your dog well enough to not attack me, so please leash them lol.

  • I always have a metal walking stick with me when walking my dog. It’s to keep strays away. My little terrier once thought she could argue with a Great Dane. It’s the pit bulls that worry me. http://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/04/wednesday-challenge-042220.html

    People who are careless with their animals annoy me. And yes on the can opener! I’m a klutz by nature and do not need any more opportunities to cut myself, thanks.

  • Fiona McGier says:

    Pampered Chef makes a can opener that will never cut you. It took my son showing me how to use it, because of the way it’s made, but I swear by it. You hold it perpendicular to the can top, and it cuts the outside of the top off.

    People who don’t think other people are important, are the ones who let their dogs run free, and never clean up their messes. Many times, we’ve seen plastic bags with poop in them, tied up and left along trails in parks. Just whose responsibility is it to clean that up, you jerks?

    Having raised 4 kids, I cut parents a bit more slack, as long as they’re trying to keep their kids civilized in public. It’s a life-long chore, teaching them how to behave.

    • You are exactly right on the dogs and kids, Fiona! I have to try that Pampered Chef can opener. I have a pizza stone from them that I just love! Glad you stopped by!

  • I loathe cliff hangers, particularly if the book has been touted as a complete story. When we first moved to our mountain home, we’d take our dogs walking up and down the lane behind us. The neighbor up there saw us cleaning up our mess one day and asked why we were bothering. Uh…Needless to say, we still clean up our mess no matter they think we’re a bit off kilter for doing so.

  • Mary Morgan says:

    Ah, the can opener is a great one, Tena! Why can’t it do the job, right? Great post!

  • Cathryn Hein says:

    YES on not cleaning up after your dog. Stepping in dog poo totally ruins your day. I loved dogs but their poo? Not thanks!
