Spring Pet Peeves

So, spring has sprung, finally.  I’ve been waiting for it for a long time.  And the weather has been amazing lately.  But a few things come with spring that make me want to pull my hair out.

Pet Peeve #1:  It is NOT shorts weather out.  Put your pants on people.  It hasn’t hit 20 degrees yet.  Yes, yes, the past few days have been unbelievable, but still, its not shorts weather.  Lets skip forward about half a year.  After its stopped being hot everyday…if the temperatures were what they are now, people would be bundling up, complaining about the cold, wearing long pants and jackets.  So, put your frigging pants back on!  Dammit.  AND if you feel the need to wear shorts, you are NOT ALLOWED TO WEAR A WINTER JACKET WITH THEM.  THAT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE.  Hello?  What is running through these people’s heads when they decide to leave the house?  If you need to wear a headband to keep your ears warm, you should not be wearing shorts.  And also…there is still snow on the ground.  Tonnes of it.  Put the sandals away until there is nothing left. 

Pet Peeve #2:  The snow is not your personal garbage can.  Yes, it is littering if you throw your trash in the snow and think no one will notice it.  Because when spring comes, and that snow melts, GUESS WHAT!!!  There’s your garbage.  Don’t litter.  You don’t do it when there’s no snow, so don’t do it when there is snow. 

On a random note, has anyone been watching American Idol?  David Cook just butchered Innocent by Our Lady Peace: 

Dear David, 
    Only Raine Maida can sing like Raine Maida, you totally ruined it.  You are so lucky most Americans don’t know who Our Lady Peace is. 
Sincerely,
Batman
