Peeve of the Day - Don't Preach If You Can't Live It Yourself

Everybody has pet peeves - things they just can't stand...something that snaps the nerves the wrong way. I have been married for almost 13 years so I have a few of them where it concerns husbands, but this isn't about husbands, lol.

My peeve for the day (for the week, month, and year probably) is people who can't stop talking about and recommending self-help books and crap when they have never managed to manage their own lives responsibly (whether it be family, financial, etc.). It gets on my nerves when I get that message on my answering machine about some fantastic person I just have to read or just have to look up online when the person who is spouting the recommendation I have little respect for. It is like a born again christian who preaches about being saved to me as they go out and get drunk on the weekends, around their kids, etc. (I have nothing against born again christians in general unless their religious beliefs are being pushed on me personally so don't go off on a tangent about that.) The point is - - I am NOT going to listen to somebody who doesn't live the way they preach. Don't preach to me if you can't manage yourself.

That's my peeve. Not that y'all care but it's bugging me right now and since I write when I am annoyed, you guys get to read about it, lol.
