Guilty Pleasures and Pet Peeves

I have a few guilty pleasures. I'm not proud of them, but I'll share them with you nonetheless, in hopes of getting you to open up and tell me yours. :D
One guilty pleasure John and I have together (this is absolutely not sexually related in any way, so keep reading) is watching Project Runway. I think we have watched almost every season, now. And, thank God for DVR's, because we never miss a show! I am completely sewing inept, yet, when I watch the show I think "Ooooh... I could do that!". I couldn't. If there is one thing on this earth that frustrates me, it's sewing. I am not good at it, I don't understand it, I don't have the patience for it, and it's exceedingly tedious. I literally become a drooling neanderthal when confronted with a pattern.
Another guilty pleasure: smelling my kids' blankies. I absolutely love the smell of dried up drool and "sleep" that lingers on the blankets. Another smell that I absolutely love (it's my favorite smell in the world) is the scent of budding poplar trees. They ooze this tacky sap, and I LOVE the smell of it. My best friend Choochie says it smells like wet dog. Most other people say it's a disgusting smell. But, it is my absolute favorite smell EVER. Don't knock it until you try it.
Another personal guilty pleasure is watching the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency. And Ghost Hunters. And reading about true crime. I've got a lot of guilty pleasures, apparently.
Pet peeves: Chewing with your mouth open!!! I would have to list that as my all time #1 pet peeve ever ever ever. Ever. Another huge pet peeve of mine is people who are completely unaware of people/things around them. For example, going to a store... those people who park their buggies at odd angles in the aisle and don't even notice that other people are trying to get around them. Or people who walk like snails, but don't stand to one side so other people can get past. Just general "consideration". I mean, seriously. Is it really that hard to notice that there are other people in the world other than yourself?
Slow talkers..... people that embellish or pause or give you all of the unnecessary information without getting to the point. If I wanted to listen to droll for an hour, I would watch President Bush give a speech. (I love John), but he would have to be the champion at not-getting-to-the-point talking. That man can jump from a subject to a completely whackadoo-off-the-wall idea without blinking. The telephone. I hate it. If I'm on the phone with someone, I want the necessary information to be shared and then I want to say goodbye and hang up. I'm not one for chit chat and uncomfortable silences. I don't do well with those things. The main reason I avoid the phone is for that reason only. Because I don't want to offend people by not spending time making small talk. Exchange the information necessary and hang up. The end. GG is a PRO at that. That woman can keep a phone call under 30 seconds without blinking. I LOVE IT.

There are a million more pet peeves, I'm sure, but I'm not putting the effort into coming up with them right now.

Your turn. Guilty pleasures and pet peeves..... GO.
