5 things that confused me about your post:
Havaianas?
Pashminas?
What’s a Gradon?
Nesting?
Who or what is Gradon Tripp?
:-)

Havaianas are the only brand of flip flop sandal I will wear.
Pashminas are shawls/scarves made of cashmere that make nice wraps in summer, and good neck scarves in spring, fall and winter.
A Gradon is a nearly perfect man.
Nesting is what you do to make your home comfortable.
Gradon Tripp is my future. :)

I was going to do this yesterday but got too busy. But your five annoyances are so similar to what mine would be!
Chewing noises! That’s #1!
People who don’t give up their seats on public transit! That’s #2! (Happened this morning… grr. “CAN YOU IDIOTS NOT SEE THAT THIS WOMAN IS CLEARLY PREGNANT!?”
Though more than those who hit “reply all” unnecessarily are those who NEVER EVER DO, which starts this long chain of re-forwarding. Grr. That’s #3. For sure.
Ugggh. People who stop suddenly on the street. I want to shake them. That’s probably #4.
And then, people who don’t use turn signals. Yeah sure, just drift into my lane. I wasn’t planning on speeding up or changing lanes or anything.
