Ask Moire

Biggest pet peeve

March 15, 2013

This week’s question: Thayer asks, “Moire, what is your biggest pet peeve?”

Moire’s answer: Ah, I see what you did there… PET peeve?!  Very clever, Thayer!  Thanks for your question.  I have a fair amount of pet peeves, which should surprise no one given my always sunny disposition.  Several days ago, for example, I was cruising around town with my chauffeur, Justin, when we went to the bank to deposit my weekly kitty stipend.  (Thanks to my union rep I’m finally getting fair pay!)

Thinking it would be quick I demanded we go to one of the bank’s drive-thru lanes.  Well, it wasn’t quick.  It was ANYTHING but quick!  We waited, and waited, and waited.  I paced back and forth, up and down, and everywhere in that car.  WHAT WAS THE HOLD UP?  We were third in line but surely it couldn’t take this long?!  We hadn’t moved an inch!  Finally I hopped out of the car window and went to the front of the line.  There I spied some less-than-brilliant chap making deposits in three accounts with about 8 checks and a stack of cash in each transaction!  How incredibly rude?!

This situation is one of my PET peeves!  Let’s be considerate of others!  Let’s not make people wait behind us for fifteen minutes when we clearly should have went into the bank to do our business in the first place!  Ridiculous!  I’m sure this not only frustrates the other customers but also the bank tellers.  Am I right?  Are there policies against this sort of crude behavior?  I should think there ought to be!

I digress, Thayer.  There you have it, one of my pet peeves.  If you’d like a further listing I can write them out for you.  Most of the MPA team knows what ‘not-to-do’ in order to keep Moire happy so I’m sure you could also visit with them about it.

Until then, keep the litter box clean and the toilet lid open!

Moire The Cat

I am a cat. A cat that has done more, seen more, and been more than most men will ever know. My pedigree is defined by modest lineage but I have risen to be one of the finest. One of the most humble, modest, handsome, intelligent, regal, charming, and cunning felines you may ever meet. I often have 'run-ins' with the MPA tight-wad, fun-hater COO, Justin over such things as spa visits and luxury grooming. Having a cat with the skills I possess is not in-expensive. I don't come with a manual and there is no 'figuring me out'. I write a weekly column called "ASK MOIRE" where my faithful readership gets advice and suggestions for a healthy, more balanced life by sending questions to this email address: MOIRE@ASKMPA.COM
