I used to be a teacher

One of the biggest pet peeves I had when I was a teacher was when my students didn't read directions. It's a very basic concept. Read the directions so you know what to do and then do it. If you don't read the directions, you'll most likely have to redo whatever it is you are doing.

That being said, I got one of those Swifter Jet Dry mop things. I put it all together and I pressed the button for the solution to come out. Nothing happened. Did I read the directions you might ask. Of course not! I finally read them and it says I need four AA batteries. When did I get out of practicing what I teach?

Interestingly enough, Fenway (The Sirkin's puppy) is a swifter. He loves being outside but doesn't want to go outside. So you have to drag him on the floor to get him outside. =) Funny dog.
