What are your "pet peeves"

[Yamori]

Thought of some more.

Hawkers and bible bashers that knock on your door. i need to get a damn sign. I am not interested.

Its wrong to try and push your religion on to people. They are like sales people desperate to make a sale. I myself am a soto buddhist(but not in the traditional sense). i still buy things, eat meat and have a gf. to me thats what being a human is about(balance) but i believe and practice the core meaning and principles of Soto zen. My teacher sais thats fine. we view buddhism not as a religion but as a way of life and except those of all cultures and religions its everyone right to believe what they choose to. Just don't judge people or try to convert them.

other things that bug me-

The lack of discipline, dedication and honor in todays society. Allot of people(not all) want an easy ride. Its become a world of i want everything, i want it now and i don't want to work for it.
nothing good in life comes easy. If you want it bad enough you have to work for it and stay dedicated. So many give up the moment it gets hard .

This is in regards to all aspects of life including relationships.

There are just way to many to list! Especially in the place where I live!
- People cannot queue up properly, how hard is it to line up in a straight line??
- When the whole bus is almost empty, people decide to sit next to you or right in front of you.
- Smelly people!
- People talking non-stop with mobile phone on public transport.
- Testing ringtone or playing games with sound on.
- Girls that are too girlish: scream at all the little things, cannot hold anything that is over 1 lb, and will not even open their own doors! (This is like Hong Kong special! I used to have a co-worker that will stand still in front of a door and wait for me to open it for her! When we go buy take away together, she would just pay her part then walk off, so I have to hold her lunch as well. Gosh I really hate her, so glad I don't need to see her face anymore).
- Screaming kids and the parents that let them scream.

Wow, Bonnie! I would not put up with that for a second. Talk about extreme! I hate girly-girls, too. They act so helpless. :main_rolleyes:

Jeez. I'm with you on this one. Girls like her give the rest of us a bad image.

I thought of some others:

-unflushed toilets in public rest rooms. Were you raised in the 14th century or what?
-people who pee all over the freakin' toilet. I think someone already mentioned this but it is so gross to go into a restroom and the toilet seat looks like a jug of lemonade just busted over the toilet. Atleast given the off chance that I miss, I clean it up.
-People who don't clean up after themselves in the work place or even my house. Don't take advantage of my hospitality by not extending yours. You were taught manners (supposedly) at one point. Use them or get out.
-airports and the people who work there. Yes, you hate your job. Don't take it out on me. I just asked for directions.
-the Canadian government. It takes FOREVER for them to stop bickering long enough to do anything and by that time it's usually too late and every one hates them for whatever decision they managed to pull out of their collective ass anyway. Also, their immigration laws are about as clear as mud. Alsoalso, their penalities for breaking the law are WAY too soft in my opinion; a child molester convicted of molesting a dozen children should NOT be jailed for TWO YEARS.


GRR I'M ANGRY.

 

[Riyo]

Hmm..pet peeves. This could take a while

1. People standing very close/hovering over me, especially if I don't know you.
2. Getting poked/touched by people I don't know very well. I admit it, I need a lot of space
3. People asking me to draw them something for free and RIGHT NOW
4. People wanting to touch the scars on my head. Seriously?
5. People who play their music (through their headphones) SO obnoxiously loud that I can hear it across the room
6. Mumbling

Work related:
1. Customers at the back of the line asking me to open up another register. Guys, I cannot magically pull another cashier out of thin air. Please wait your turn!
2. People rushing in either being late are very close to a deadline and yelling at me since I can't put their print job first in line. Sorry, it's not my fault you procrastinated!
3. People who let their little children run around like they own the place and be destructive. (I had to stop a few kids from jabbing the plasma TVs with their fingers..and then they ran to shake the nearest stack of printers.)

Pedestrians that just walk into the road without checking for cars. A crosswalk does not give you a suit of armor that protects you from a 2000lb moving object. A crosswalk also doesn't give you the right to walk into oncoming traffic.

And the other side.....drivers that are not aware of crosswalks and don't watch for pedestrians.

Or drivers that think it's good enough to slow down to a roll instead of stopping. STOP your car so noone gets killed. It's not that hard.

 

[GeckoStud]

- People that read over your shoulder...
- People who think herps.... is sexual when I'm referring to reptiles... (I have a shirt that says got herpetoculture?)... and people look at me like I'm retarded when I tell them what it means......

There's more but I have class now so I'll post later.

 

[Foreverandever]

I membered some more

When people are dragging their 3 year old babies around the place I work at at ONE or TWO in the morning!!!!! That child should be in bed b 8! Sheesh!

Girly girls!! Please get away from me with your fake tan orange skin, bleach white hair (with black lowlights...man I HATE that look), 5 inch long acrylic nails, 7 inch heels, and GIANT chanel purse. You smell like you BATHED in your Tommy Girl perfume and are giving me a headache. And no I "Don't like totally like, wanna go the the like mall!" So please lower your voice when talking on your cell phone. Thank you

Haha...sorry if any of you fellow women fit the description above...just bothers me no end

 

[Foreverandever]

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.

Do not laugh! It is NOT funny!! My nostrils burn when he does that haha. Haha, bad daddy! That's super funny though :main_yes:

 

[GeckoStud]

People who don't say thank you when you hold the door for them, or people who don't hold the door for you....

People who say they will attend an event with you, and don't call you back if they cannot make it.......... A phone call would be nice, I don't mind if you can't make it but at least tell me and not just stick me up..... I HATE that!!!!

 

[GeckoStud]

Oh yeah... people who say "like" every other word when they are talking.....

 

[Pepper]

People who think it's okay to mix species, that really peeves me.

People who deny global warming when it's so obvious.

People who don't hold the door for you when you obviously can't open it yourself unless you put everything down.

People who push their religions on people who don't have a religion, so they try to scare them by telling them they will burn in the fiery pits for the rest of their life.

 

[MeiK]

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.

X2!!!!!!!! :main_yes: ...although if a Jehovah came to my house and said I was "too cowardly to make a decision" - I doubt he'd make it back to the street.

Thought of another one.

CHILD LEASHES.

what. the. hell. :main_thumbsdown:

 

[Pepper]

The only time I think child leashes are okay is in crowded places like an amusement park where the kids could easily get snatched up and no one would notice, not just walking down the street, that's just messed up.

 

[Foreverandever]

CHILD LEASHES.

what. the. hell. :main_thumbsdown:

HAHAHAHA!!! I actually laughed out loud at the what the hell part. I'm with ya on that. It's not a german sheperd...its a human

 

[Alliemac]

X2!!!!!!!! :main_yes: ...although if a Jehovah came to my house and said I was "too cowardly to make a decision" - I doubt he'd make it back to the street.

It was at the mall of all places and if the kids hadn't been with me he would have never had children. As it was my 9 year old knew I was fuming but it was a good time to teach her AGAIN that not all people are as tolerant of others as we are. She gave him a good eyeroll herself and took a hands on the hips stance once she saw I was angry. hehehehe.

As for the leashes I'm with you for the most part. But one of my girls was a runner so I used one briefly with her when we went to crowded places like the mall. She HATED it so she learned to hold hands very quickly. As a tool I think it's ok.....as a babysitter no freaking way.

 

[nats]

Oh yeah... people who say "like" every other word when they are talking.....

LOL!! this made me think of another thing I hate;

people who give a fake sounding little "laugh" at the end of
every sentence, even when it's clearly NOT funny!!
are these people retarded, or what??!! :main_huh:

 

[LeapinLizards]

My BIGGEST pet peeve, and the only one I'll go into (because it is a LONG list) is people that ASSUME things. Perfect example:

I invite my sister out to lunch and she says "Ok, I'll meet you there." She pulls up, and her boyfriend is with her. Alright, that's not terrible, although he did assume he could come. Meal is over, I get the check, they get up, go outside and smoke a cigarette. I'm stuck with the WHOLE bill. He assumed he was welcome, and assumed I would pay for him. Never have I gotten a "Thanks Heather" or even an OFFER to pay his part.

Same situation with my father's house. They will go over there (my sister lives with him), eat a huge meal, take a shower, monopolize my dad's huge flat screen TV all day long, and then he will leave.

Freeloaders, and people that assume they are entitled to things...

MAN I HATE THAT.

 

[LizMarie]

people that assume they are entitled to things...

MAN I HATE THAT.

AMEN!!! I just give them the evil eye!!! :main_laugh:

It must be a boyfriend thing because my boyfriend can be like that at times and I just look at him like "Excuse me who the heck are you suppose to be".. :main_rolleyes:

I also can't stand when people curse at their kids, it makes me cringe.

 

[GeckoStud]

You know what they say about assume.... it makes an *** out of U and ME
