Politics aside, it drives a bit nuts when an elected official gets sick, or goes to rehab, or whatever, for an extended period of time and doesn’t resign. They’re not doing their job (representing their constituency) when they’re in a clinic.
I guess it’s a pet peeve of mine that someone should actually do the job for which they’re being paid.
Yup.
It also drives me nuts when they run for another office without resigning their current office.
