what peeves me

[certherfbeef]

I've just been called anal. Hubby's new word for the week I guess. I'm trying to teach him couth but to no avail.

So hear is a list of pet peeves that I'm told make me anal.
In no particular order.

- calves with no ear tags in the pasture
- burs in horses mane
- parking in my yard (muddy or not)
- mud holes in the lane
- post it notes that lose it's post it stuff
- cell phone dropping a call
- truck/tractor not starting
- baler not tieing a bale
- spilling feed
- unlatched gates
- plates not being stacked by size in the cupboard
- dishwasher being loaded "wrong"
- silverware put in drawer "wrong"

And my biggest pet peeve...
folks in church with blue jeans on. What the heck happened to "suday best"?

Anyone that knows me can feel free to jump right in here and add to hubby's list.

I know you probaly as well as anyone on here and I have to agree with you. I don't thank any thing on this list makes a person anal. If so I am anal too. I think it makkes you right.

Cert,

I've got to agree with you on:

-plates not being stacked by size in the cupboard

So your being called anal, and that's all that he can come up with?

I was with you on everything until the jeans in church. I knew a guy when I was a teenager who came from a poor family and jeans were all he had. I invited him to come to church with me and he said he couldn't go because all he had was jeans. I told him that didn't matter, what mattered was that he was in church. So I wore jeans too. We got that "look" and I could never get him into church again and the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth.
The church I go to now has people who come in jeans and it doesn't bother me at all, I figure it might be all they have and God's just happy to see them there.

My husband's always accused me of being anal too. Especially because certain things just belong in certain places!

That presents no problem. Jeans are some peoples Sunday Best.

- unlatched gates

This is unforgivable.
Another one is &%*#%$@* that climb on gates.

Ryder, I'm with you on this one. As much time as I spend making sure the gates all swing nice and even, I tend to tear into my kids when they decide to crawl over one instead of just opening it.

Our farrier is a Baptist minister. He is an avid Horseman. At his church they have either one night a week or month that they all wear Jeans, not sure exactly how often but it is a regular thing for the whole congregation. Thought it was an interesting concept.

I am on the other side of the fence Victoria. Sunday best as she said is what we should wear I think. In my opinion it shows some respect. If the Sunday best clothes of someone are ragged jeans with holes in them ..no problem by me. What irks me is that our church kids wear $50 jeans with holes in them and the little poor visitor girl has on a less expensive neatly pressed dress because she thinks church is a place worthy of her best. After a few weeks of figuring out the dress code , she is in jeans with holes as well.

I'm with you on most stuff, cell phone is something you can't do much about unless you get a different service or stronger phone. Post it notes not sticking may get the "A" word to my wife (if I can gather the courage ). Loading the dishwasher wrong is a matter of opinion, unless he puts it in so everything fills up with dishwater.

Everything else is on the mark, I'm really with you on jeans and I'll add casual shirts at church. A: you can buy "docker" type pair of pants for less than a good pair of jeans B: how hard is it to wear a nice button up shirt and or a sweater and comb your hair. If someone is new in church I give them the benifit of the doubt, but if they are staring to be regular and want to take part in services they need to respect the house of God and get a clue.

Sundays best... does mean my "Holy" jeans?

I just bet Christ had a special "sunday robe" right?
And I bet he had his desciples escort away anyone comng to hear him speak unless they wore their "sunday" clothes right?
It ain't a country club people, it is the house of GOD, and he loves everyone and he looks past a persons clothes and into their heart. I know what he sees in yours, and it ain't pretty.

We can all dress nice to show respect at work. We can dress clean and neat at funerals and weddings. What is difficult about dressing neat and clean without a counter culture look at church?

Did your mom let you walk across her floor with muddy shoes, I would think you had to respect her and take them off. Do you think God deserves the same respect in regards to how you dress in his house? Your in church not a beer party, hell have a beer while your at home changing for the party don't wear party clothes to church.

well to stur the pot a little more.aside from jeans ive seen alot of women that dress up like there going clubing. in short skirts & dresses to me modesty in appearance is what i look at no matter what kind of cloth its made of.

 

[ROCKSPRINGS]

What about putting the toilet paper roll in backwards :x

 

[Victoria]

ollie' I know what you're saying about the whole idea of respect. The Bible says we judge by outer appearance and God judges the heart. I don't know what is in someone's heart. For all I know the kid wearing the jeans has more respect for God than the woman beside me dressed up because it is the "right thing to do". The Pharisees were always dressed correctly. The person dressing in jeans could be showing a sign of disrespect by doing so, the person dressing up could also disrespect God and is just better at covering it (literally). That's why I just leave it up to God to decide who really loves Him.

Don't get me wrong though, I wish those kids would leave the jeans with holes at home too, but then I don't get why they where them outside of church either! :lol:

Agreed!! This is more of a problem I think. The Bible tells women to be modest- in church and out.

I figure that God has seen me at my worse. So no matter how I dress to go to church God has already seen those clothes.
Some of the best Christians I have ever known had mostly older clothes. Some of the worse (in my eyes) Christians I have ever met came to church every Sunday in a fancy suit and they would rob you blind on Monday morning.
God know what is in your heart and I don't think he cares what clothes you wear. IMHO

Well Cert, if your anal just because of those things then I don't think there's a word to describe me. A few more of the top of my head....

- moving the seat in my truck and not putting it back
- moving the mirrors ''
- throwing empty bottles, cans, etc. in the back of the truck
- throwing dirty clothes IN FRONT of the empty clothes washer
- not putting tools back in their places
- not putting equipment back in it's place

I'm sure I could come up with more if I though about it...
