I'm not even sure this is blog worthy, but here it goes.
Last night as I was driving to the grocery store to pick up dinner my car clutch started squeeking. I know, not a 10 on a 1 to 10 scale of things that should grate on a person's nerves, but still. Every time I changed gears the stupid thing squeeked. I experimented to see if it was only a slow motion thing or if it would squeek no matter how fast or slow I pushed in the clutch. I wondered where you should put the oil on it to make it stop squeeking or if maybe that was a bad idea. Can you believe so much thought is involved in such a small and irritating thing?! Me either. But try as I might I could not let go of that irritated feeling.
All of this reminded me of other things that squeek and also irritate and/or annoy me. I also thought I'd see what squeeky things irritate you all. I'll start the list
Shoes - I hate it when shoes squeek. People can hear you coming.
Chairs - Right now my work chair squeeks everytime I shift my weight.
Doors - As a former locksmith, a squeeking door drives me nuts. Fortunately only one of my car doors is in need of some oil at the moment.
How about you?
