What are your "pet peeves"

[Haligren]

I have lots too. I'm a very irritable person.

-rude people
-people who don't know how to control their children i.e. teaching them the use of an INDOOR voice
-people taking my things and/or moving my things without my permission or knowledge (in-laws are doing this all the time and it drives me nuts)
-when I can't find something I'm looking for
-people who smell....really bad (I know sometimes they can't help it. My nose is just sensitive to certain smells, I think. Especially B.O.)
-People who have absolutely no empathy towards other living things
-two-year olds (well, those that are going through the terrible twos)
-cats that like to pee on my shoes
-thievery

I think that's it. ^^; Oh no there's more....

-liars
-people who get caught lying but still try to argue that they aren't
-people who say sorry all the time (I'm guilty of this too but it's more out of habit than any real self-esteem issue.)
-people who always feel sorry for themselves and never try to help themselves get out of their hole. I have issues with depression as well but there's a limit to how much I can take. I eventually have to pull myself out of my little hole and try to get one with life.
-manipulators; whether they're aware of manipulating you or not.

Ah. Anyway that's enough I think. I could go on all day. lol

I could name a million but here's one that was bothering me recently.

When someone is talking to you & constantly says "You know what i'm saying?" over and over. Yes, i know what you're saying....if i didn't i would say something like "No, i don't know what you're saying....i speak english, not idiot".

Oh, another one i just remember that bugged me last wk. When someone texts you while you're watching a movie in the theatres & u say "i'm in the movies" & THEY STILL KEEP TEXTING YOU! I especially like it when they ask how it is. "I wouldn't know, i have to keep friggin looking down at my phone b/c some turd won't stop bothering me".

 

[metaldad904]

Here's another.....this one is for the guys (and i think we've all been there).

When you're standing at the urinal (in a series of 3 or more of them) and someone comes up & takes the one closest to you when there are others available. I don't need a pee buddy....get out of my space.

HA! :main_laugh: So true.

Mine would be...

People who drive the speed limit and think anyone who drives "normally" is an evil maniac for driving a bit faster. :main_no:
Awkward silences... ... ... ... :main_thumbsdown:
People who can't/won't control their dogs and think they are great pet owners.
Lines. I hate waiting in a line.

My girlfriend says my biggest pet peeve is... Lazy people.

...I agree w/her... :main_angry:

I thought of some more last night.....

- when the kids as for a snack less than 30 seconds after I've cleared the table
- parking spot stealers
- non-pregnant people that park in the maternity spots at the grocery store. You better be showing or have a car full of little kids to park there.


I had a bad trip to the grocery store this morning with 4 kids in tow.

Just thought of my biggest one

When people find out I'm atheist and then try to convince me why I should believe in a god. Um...hello, I've made my choice. Your chidings will NOT convince me otherwise. I don't try to convince you not to believe in a god, so let it go

Totally! I'm agnostic rather than atheist and it's almost like being agnostic is "worse" to some people because they think they have more of a chance to convert me. I actually had a Jehovah tell me in front of my kids that saying I'm agnostic is simply being too cowardly to make a decision. :main_angry:

I replied that perhaps his religion has warped his brain to the point that freedom of choice has been deleted from the programing. :main_lipsrsealed:

DISCLAIMER: I'm a VERY open minded, believe what you want to believe kind of person until I'm insulted especially in front of my kids. They are being raised to be accepting of everyone's personal choices and are free to chose a religion for themselves once they are old enough to make that choice.

 

[Foreverandever]

DISCLAIMER: I'm a VERY open minded, believe what you want to believe kind of person until I'm insulted

Agreed. I also hate when they say: "May I ask why you are an atheist?"

No...you may not. It's personal. Accept the original answer


But anyway, sorry! Wasn't trying to hijack the thread and turn it into a religious debate!!


I figured I'd throw these last two in to lighten the thread

-When my boyfriend dutch ovens me
-When my boyfriend farts in the car, then locks the windows so I cant get air

Man...he has the worst gas, let me tell you! Haha

 

[Alliemac]

My hubby gives wet willies. It's beyond gross and disgusting. lol

I just about had to run to a urinal when I read this. TOO FUNNY! :main_laugh:

HAHAHAHA, oh the stories i could tell you of what i used to do to my ex-wife.....hmmm, maybe that's why we're broken up lol. She actually called me last week to say this "Just wanted to let you know that your daughter has even inherited your sense of humor.....she snuck up behind me and farted in my face as I turned towards her & laughed to the point of crying.....i swear i've never seen someone enjoy farting more than that other than u" lol.

 

[metaldad904]

People who can't/won't control their dogs and think they are great pet owners.

One of my biggest ones....."oh look, isn't scruffy cute?" (As the little dustball is gnawing on your shins).

 

[metaldad904]

I just about had to run to a urinal when I read this. TOO FUNNY! :main_laugh:

It actually brings up another one now that i think of it....

I doubt this happens too often in the ladies room but i know it does in the guy's. When someone takes a leak all over the damn toilet seat & doesn't bother to clean it up. For one, it looks like a sprinkler system exploded all over the toilet, second, if it's an "emergency"......there are very few more horrifying things than sitting on cold urine....very few.

 

[Alliemac]

Oh women tinkle all over the seat too. The logistics of it baffle me but somehow there is always pee on the seat in a public ladies room. I imagine they're squatting and have bad aim?? I seem to hit the target but then I was an athlete at one point in my life. Lol

I had to LOL at this esp. since I have always been a bit
"pee-shy".
What's worse is when they try to have a conversation with you
while your TRYING to pee! LOL!

These are great!
Keep em coming :main_thumbsup:

 

[breanna-banana13]

Well I work at a hotel so alot of mine have to do with that...
- when people think they can get something for nothing...i understand wanting to get a good deal but c'mon, dont haggle me for a lower price.
- people who sit and watch their kids do assinine things then only yell at them after you have already said something (would you let your kid smash cereal into the carpet at home?? why do you think its funny when he does it here?)
- if you have a complaint about your room (smells, bed is uncomfortable, noisy neighbors) tell me about it while its happening, dont wait til the morning...cuz then i can't fix it. Dont think you are bothering me by doing it while its happening, it bothers me more that you waited and you expect me to fix it now.
- Do not come down to the lobby and change the channel. FOr all intensive purposes that is my TV, you have one in your room, you dont see me coming in and changing your channels do you??
- If you call me, dont tell me your life story. I dont care that you are joe schmo from oklahoma and you and your family were thinking of coming here for a vacation. I need dates first, name second and for you to say ok thank you and HANG UP. I dont need the the play-by-play of your stops at the inlaws on the way and how you are coming here for so and so's whatever...
OMG i could (should) write a book on "what not to do at a hotel"...i'd make millions

Just a few more....
- parents who drag their kids around, the kid has little legs- slow down. if you are in THAT much of a hurry, pick them up.
- people who live in an "inclement weather area" and who are afraid to drive in the snow/ rain. I'm all for being cautious but driving uber slow is just as bad as speeding. when in doubt- STAY HOME.
- People who sit through class texting, sleeping, playing online games or just doing nothing, then complian when they fail...what did you expect?
- Whistling- it makes my brain hurt
- When i'm standing in line anywhere and the person behind me is so close i can feel their breath on my neck. seriously back the **** up. no one is gonna line jump you- this is mcdonalds- you'll get your big mac. I usually make really violent stretching movements or step on them...it usually gets the point across.
- If you expect my undivided attention, then give me yours and GET OFF THE CELL PHONE.
There are wayyyyyyyyyyy more. I'm a generally angry person and will not fail to let you know that what you are doing upsets me... I could seriously go on for days....
