The Old Lady and the Zipper
I take the city bus to work everyday. Every Wednesday for the last month an elderly (like...truly ancient) woman from Russia or the Ukraine (she changes it every time) waits for the bus with me. This woman is a pet peeve in and of herself. But one thing she did one time really made me just want to punch her in the face.
I was sick and wearing a hoodie and a scarf. This woman said, "You are cold" and took the zipper on my jacket and zipped it all the way to my chin, catching my hair in the zipper in the process (which we all know means that I lost more than a few strands that day). Then, when I unzipped my jacket, SHE DID IT AGAIN.
So I guess my pet peeve is old, ambiguously Russian or Ukrainian women that I hardly know who try to make me bald.
