SUNDAY FUNNIES: PET PEEVES

Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here!

Man, am I bored.
Patience maybe a virtue, but I can't wait for Spring when it starts getting warmer and I can stay outside more.
Being cooped up in the house isn't really fun for a dog.
You can't sit or sleep on the furniture as much as you want to.
Your people look at you funny when you ask for something to eat besides breakfast and dinner.
They always seem to think you pick the worst times to need the bathroom.
Hey, I can't let myself out and if I knew how to use that "throne" thing you have...

I don't mean to be annoying. It just happens.

Like when there's a police car in sight, especially when they have their radar gun out looking for speeders, and everyone thinks they have to drive 10-15 miles per hour slower than the speed limit.

I can see my owners eyeballs roll when someone visiting us says, "Well, to make a long story short," and then they keep talking for another 20 minutes.

My owner's wife was complaining that she went to the store and had to tell five different sales people there that she was just looking around.
Shouldn't the first clerk have let the others know so they wouldn't waste everyone's time?

There's a dog down the street that barks at EVERYTHING.
I try telling it to be quiet and then my people yell at me to shut up and stop being a bad dog.

The other night one of my family sat down on the sofa and started reading a magazine.
Yes, magazines still exist!
Anyway, it was bad enough that they beat me to the couch so I had to lay on the floor by their feet, but then all those little subscription cards kept falling out of their magazine and landing on me!
I thought it was snowing indoors!
Why would you need a subscription card to the magazine you already have a subscription too?
Besides probably getting a renewal notice through the mail when it was time to do so, why put so many cards in the magazine to begin with?

Why do they call it an express lane at the supermarket when it seems to move as slowly as all the other lanes?
And those "express self checkout lanes" aren't any better!
Besides not getting any discounts for doing it yourself, if you have a problem, you still need a cashier anyway.
Why don't stores just get rid of the darn things and hire more people instead of being so cheap?

But I personally think the most annoying thing in this dog's life is when an alarm🔔 goes off in the middle of the night.
Okay, if it's a burglar or smoke alarm, that's a time to be greatly concerned and be prepared to take whatever appropriate action might be necessary.
But if it's a personal alarm⏰ because one of your people has to get up for work or school, that's another matter.
After all, I don't have to get up early or be anywhere at a certain hour, so why can't you folks let me sleep in?🔕

And on that note♫, have a great week everybody and please be back here again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—AtP.
