"PETTY 17'"

So in light  of this year (the one called "Petty 17'") I thought I'd write about the things folks do that are considered "petty." I am guilty of these behaviors-I can admit it.  If you catch me on the right day, "petty" is my first, middle, and last name (well maybe first and middle name, because Petty P Walker has a nice ring to it).  My bad, I got sidetracked...Anyway where was I?

Oh, so in honor of "Petty 17,'" I'll list a few things folks do that are deemed petty behaviors. I'm not saying I do these things. I'm not even judging, because sometimes I do these things.  Wait what?? I'm just pointing these pettylike things out. So, if you do these things...YOU ARE PETTY:
 
1. Respond to long text or emails with "k" or a thumbs up, and sometimes don't even bother to make it color specific.  This basically says," I could really give two f's about what you just said, and I really didn't care to take the time to type a full response, or choose the color specific thumb to match me, because it, and you was too much of a hassle."   PETTY.

2. When you see a pic on social media you don't like, and you hit the like button. You're not being nice. You're merely pointing out the fact that you saw the pic. Like if your man likes his ex pic and you come right behind and like it too. You don't like her, she know you don't like her, and he know he had no business. So now, ya'll all know you saw the pic. YOU PETTY.

3. If you are holding the door for someone, and they don't say, "thank you."  So then, you let the next door go and close in their face. Or even better-or worse...when you see somebody running to catch the elevator, and you press the door close button. YOU EXTRA PETTY.

4. When you pack up all your stuff and take everything, including the purple coffee maker (because you paid for it)...And the water container with the extra filters, because Jackass was already thirsty.  PETTY, PETTY, PETTY.

5. Last, but not least, when you post a meme and tag the person it's about with a "I won't mention any names, but..." PETTY AS HELL.

Every now and then, it's ok to be petty. We all have our moments. Besides it is "Petty 17'," so if you can't be petty now, when?!
