I got this idea from the "then or than" thread. What are some your guys's biggest pet peeves. I think for me it is people moving my stuff, having dirty fingernails, and having their shirt tags hanging out. (I guess I'm kind of picky! ) :blushing:

this is one from my child-hood!! My sis and I always packed our lunches in the morning! My sis always packed her lunch while I got in the shower.. then I'd go pack my lunch!! I'd walk into the kitchen and grab the knife to spread the mayo.. and there would be mayo alll over the handle of the knife!!!! This is why now, I do not re-use a knife if it has been used by someone else to spread mayo!! Weird pet peeve.. but.. it bugs the crap out of me!!!

I don't blame you for having that pet peeve. That would be very annoying! :redface:

I totally didn't realize it before I just read this post but that's one of my pet peeves too! I always have to fix it if I see it. Even if it's someone I don't know! :biggrin:

That would drive me crazy too! I have had that happen to me once or twice but never by my family. It's annoying, for sure!

I have to say that one of my biggest pet peeves is people who don't use their turn signals. It's just laziness and I'm willing to bet that it's the cause of hundreds of accidents! Use your blinkers!!!

yeah... cleanliness is next to holy-ness ( i told you guys I was a bad speller!) I HATE crumbs on the floor! and people who are toooo freakin' lazy to throw their gum in the TRASH! Nasty!! Having a husband, who is far less clean than I am.. i know how annoying it is to be around someone who doesn't clean up his mess!! By far a pet peeve of mine!

My biggest pet peeve has to be when people breathe through their nose and its really loud i just feel like yelling at the top of my voice to breathe through their mouth (just like ned flanders said to homer in a simpsons episode). Also when people drink from the milk carton and put it back in the fridge. :mad:

People who don't say "thank you" when you hold the door open for them. It really doesn't take much to say those two words.

This reminded me of one of my pet peeves, I hate it when people are writing an exam and they sniffle! Instead of getting up and getting a tissue or making sure you have some with you when you're about to write the exam they just sniffle it back up there! Gross!

Peopl who don't say "thank you" when you hold the door open for them. It really doesn't take much to say those two words.

That drives me crazy too! It's like the expect it but it's just not something that you can expect today because people simply don't do it.

I really hate it when people see me coming with a huge diaper bag.. and my baby in his stroller... and just let the door slam on my face! Makes me upset that people don't have common curtisy anymore these days!! I always hold doors open for people if I can.. and I guess I just expect the same from others too!

Peopl who don't say "thank you" when you hold the door open for them. It really doesn't take much to say those two words.I agree. And I will admit that I get a bit bitchy sometimes and will say "You're welcome!" when this happens. :laugh:

I hate it when people don't listen when you're having a conversation. When you can tell that they're not paying any attention to you when you're speaking, they're just sitting there, formulating what they are going to say next. That drives me nuts.

I have many pet peeves having to do with driving. People who go out of turn at a 4 way stop when it's your turn. People who don't use their turn signals. People who go 45-50 mph in residential neighborhoods. People who jam their music so damn loud you can't hear the music in your own car. People who zig zag in and out of lanes on the expressway. I could go on and on, lol.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a pet peeve, but I hate "catty women". There's a gaggle of them in my office - they all get together for lunch and talk about (1) their children/husband, (2) what diet they're on, and (3) diss anyone who isn't in the group. That's it - nothing else, every fricken day!

They make me ashamed to be a woman. This is all you have to talk about - with everything that's going on in the world? They have the IQ's of sand fleas and the personalities of cough drops.

^^^ Oh man... I hate that too!!! Loved how you said ..... " They have the IQ's of sand fleas and the personalities of cough drops!" Hillarious! I hate woman like that too!! It is ok to talk about your husband and kids, but it isn't cool to diss anyone who isn't in YOUR group!! :)

Gotta agree with this 100%!!! It's probably why I've always mainly hung around guys instead of my own kind, lol! (not that I don't have my moments :rolleyes: I'm sure I do) When I was still working full time (I'm a sahm now) I used to turn down offers of lunch with the gals to go eat in my car while reading a good book, lol!

I hear ya, girl! I love hanging around with the boys, too - always did! Sure, they can still diss - but they do it right to your face, laugh it off and all is forgotten! There's a insecurity and jealousy in most women that brings out the catty. Me love men!

Nice to see that it isn't just me. Yes goddess... I emply the same technique. I'll either say "Oh no... thank you!", or "It doesn't take much to say thank you".

Another pet peeve - People who park on the road and block the traffic, when there' a car park 20 yards down the road. Happens all the time where I live, and it makes it a nightmare to get to work in the mornings sometimes.

omg I can't stand rude people! Like when you're at the dmv or doctors or the airport and people are just in a bad mood that they have to take it out on the poor employee. OH I was at the olive garden the other day and our waiter was sooo nice, well this family came in and she was so rude to him! ''I ordered soup! I ordered coke not sprite!'' I wanted to say 'Geez lady, it was an honest mistake, give the guy a break, you came in with like 10 people.'

OOH or when you go to mcdonalds or wendys and u order drive-thru cause your in a hurry and u say one thing and their like 'anything else?' 'anything else?' AHH! Let me order, i'll tell you when i'm done! phew. Had to get that off my chest. Love this thread.

Arrrrrrgh! :mad: Fast food drive throughs are a major pet peeve of mine!
Back in the old days, they used to believe that the customer is always right, but now, they think you're too dumb to know what you want!
KFC is the worse - I drive up to the speaker knowing EXACTLY what I want, & what's the 1st thing I hear? (snotty mocking voice) "Welcome to KFC - would you like to try a twister?" I've never tried a twister & never will. If they were any good, they wouldn't have to push them like they do!

OK - I'm done ranting now! :biggrin:

I brought up a good one didn't I? I bet lots of people have horror stories with drive-thru's. That's why I love home cooked food. But when you're in a rush, you have to go there so its like come on people, be a little nicer. This is food we're dealing with. And I've heard horror stories as to what goes on back there. Ewwww. But somehow, I still want to eat it every now and then, go figure.:rolleyes:

OK........ HUGE story about the social security office! Ok.. so I had to go in the other day because when I tried to do my taxes, it wouldn't let me because my birthdate was "wrong". So I had to go the social security office with my 18 month old! So I went in and there was another little boy there! My son (aydan) and this other little boy were playing! This little boys mom was at the counter doing whatever she needed to do so I was watching her kid for her! Ok.. so... my son started laughing.. and laughing at this boy! Aydan thought he was sooo freakin' funny! Well, t hen all of a sudden this man behind the counter said.."ma'am, control your kids"... i wanted to slap him!! So then, what did i have to do? I had to get Aydan from the floor, HAPPY mind you, and sit him on my lap. Aydan did NOT want to sit there! He started screaming and wailing!!!! He was SCREAMING!! I was sooo mad at this man behind the counter, my kid was happy, and having a good time.. and laughing, who doesn't like to hear kids laugh? SO.. my kid went from happy, and laughing, to screaming and torturing everyone in the place!!! The couple (OLD COUPLE) in front of me kept giving me dirty looks, and they ended up moving as far away from me as tehy could go! I was sooooooooo PO'd!!!!!!! Can u imagine!! This man... t his snotty old man... telling me to make my kid STOP laughing... and start screaming? ugh! sorry.. had to get that off my chest!

OMG that is sooo rude. I would have let my son stay on the floor and told him "Excuse me sir, but my son is fine, thank you." And if he would have gotten into to trouble if you told him otherwise because a big scene would have been made. But a big scene was made anyway because the baby started crying and screaming. I wouldn't let him tell me what to do. And when he started crying you should have put him back on the floor and showed that man a thing or two about bossing people around. Ugh, I cannot stand people like that. Rude people are sooo nasty. And that old couple? You should have followed them with the baby, showed them a thing or two about staring and rude looks.


They all just need to get laid!!!


And that's what I think. That's a horror story if I ever heard one. Glad you got it out your chest, Stef. I am frustrated on your behalf.

^^ hahahaha... that old couple obviously doesnt have grand children! It was horrible experience! THEN.. the lady that I finally saw behind the counter, she waas TOOOOOOOOOOO nice!! She talked.. and talked... and chatted... and chatted!! It was overly nice!! I know everything about her!! She told me where she wants to retire... (which is where I grew up as kid, that's what got her talking about it) Then.. she told me about her veggie garden.. and what she grows in it! Then.. she told me that she doesnt canning. .... and what veggies she can's. then she told me how her daughter was in surgery for some bone disorder..... then she got a call from whoever was at the hospital with her daughter at the time! Her daughter had been in surgery for 6 hours so she HAD to take the phone call.... which... is fine.. but my son is screaming... and annoying everyone! I couldnt be mean... i mean, it's her daughter... SOO .... oh shehs... you could imagine! Then.. the lady was sooo nice that one of her friends who used to work there came in to get something done, and she let him butt inline... ahead of me because he had a business meeting in a couple of minutes! Ohhh... it was soooooooooooo sweet... yes... but... it was annoying too:) any thoughts on this people?

Yea, there are very nice people in rude places. Its funny how that works out. But to me, sometimes its annoying when a perfect stranger just starts telling you their life story when all you want to do is get out of there. Phew, I bet you were relieved to get out of there.

What REALLY burns me up is when I'm having one of those days where I'm just mad for no reason, & dont want to talk to anyone, and people start trying to engage me in the usual mindless small talk: "Hello!"
"How are you?"
"How's it going?" :blowup:
"Hot/cold enough for you?"
"Are you ready for it?"

I hate being "chatted up" when a simple exchange of hellos would suffice!

:wallbash: :mad2: :censored: :furious: :chair:

Oh, I have loads of pet peeves. Most of them revolve around people who do not practice courtesy to others....

For instance...at the grocery store, a long checkout line. The woman checking out decides that now is the time to argue that the price of the steaks she is buying should be $5.99/lb instead of the $8.99/lb that is on the package. Which forces the cashier to call over a manager, who then verifies that "No, it is the rib-eye steaks on sale...what you have are strip steaks..." At which point, the woman decides that she wants the rib-eyes instead and sends the manager off to replace her strip steaks. And everyone else is still waiting. You've probably all been behind this woman. She is also the one that waits to whip out her check book after the cashier says, "Your total is...."

And, then, of course she asks, "Do you have a pen?"

Michaud
03-29-2006, 01:09 PM
Was gonna say the same thing PosseGal. Why can't they write-out most of the cheque while waiting in line, and then simply fill in the total when it's ready? Very very annoying that one.

Right on Bobby!!

People who wait for the advert to come on at the cinema before turning their phones off. Why not turn them off when you first walk into the auditorium, instead of all rustling around at once right at the beginning of the film. I've been elbowed so many times by people trying to get phones out of their pockets while squeezed into a cinema seat

What's up with that? I mean, like I am actually going to yell back.."Hey sweetie, nothin' much goin' on... just shopping.. wanna come over here and hang out with me?" I mean SHESH people.. act like gentlemen PLEASE!

*The annoying beep of the walkie talkie phones
*People who don't use their signals, talk on the phone, tailgate, and/or don't pay attention to where they are swerving while driving
*The sound of paper tearing really slow
*The sound of somone chewing (even with their mouth closed)

*People who don't bother to do anything about their dogs escaping from their home

Aurora.. i really hate your last one about people coming in on the middle of a movie and expecting you to tell them what has happened!! Especially while you are trying to watch it yourself.. and have to talk over an important part just so they can understand a little bit!

Michaud
03-29-2006, 02:04 PM
That's a great list Aurora

1) People who don't cover their mouths when they sneeze
2) People who don't use a tissue/handkerchief, but instead use a part of their body or clothing.

Just..... plain..... wrong....

Aurora10
03-29-2006, 02:10 PM
lol Yeah, that one is probably one of my biggest ones. I won't even explain to them what's happening and I'll tell them that from the start. It annoys me so much.

Someone picking their nose, yuk!
A person chewing tobacco and spiting while they are talking to you,
worse spitting into a cup they carry around with them.
This is petty, but sitting next to a famliy with a baby or young kid who will not be still, while I am eating in an expensive meal, Please! Have Mercy!
My biggest pev is kids playing while eating, my own children knew my one golden rule, Never play at the table, eat you food and drink your milk then after your away from the table go play...

OMG guys who whistle at you or say things like "dang mami, you look good" Or walking through a mall and they're like "hello how are you?"slowly as they check you out. hello??? I don't know you, don't say hello to me. oh oh I always get "can I get your number?" what? you're a stranger!!!

Speaking of the movies, people who keep talking as the movie starts and when people go shhh, they talk louder. Argh. Phew, that felt good.

^ and ^^ drive me nuts, too, and I'm not even a mod. :rolleyes:

It also bugs me when people do shorthand speak while posting in threads. We are not in a chat room, we are not text messaging! Type out y-o-u (not 'u'), a-r-e (not 'r'), etc. I'm not talking about internet shorthand like "IIRC," "FWIW" or "TPTB." I'm talking about people who are too lazy to type out a stinking 3 or 4 letter word.

*phew* that felt good. :redface:

People who insist on trying to come up a narrow staircase side by side and then glare as if they expect me to go back up the staircase so they don't have to scoot over.
People who park their grocery cart in the middle of the aisle completely oblivious to anyone who wants to get by.
People who parallel park in the middle of what is obviously two parking spaces (city girl gripe).

Special travel-related peeves--
People who talk on their cell phones all the way up to the security check at the airport, then hold up the line because they didn't read the signs or listen the first time through.
People who bring on two carryons which are obviously oversize, then put them both in the overhead bin, leaving no room for anyone else's stuff.
Seat space invaders. Yes, I know I'm not very big, but I paid for a whole seat, so the arm rest stays down.

Ah, people who put on there turn signal 5 blocks before they want to turn, and slow down to an absolute crawl, then swing all the way over the the yellow line, slowly take the turn, only to slam on their brakes with their tail end still out in the lane, because they for some strange reason still think they are going to fast. Argh! My Mom always said "Stop advertising and do it!".

Also, a group of people walking down the side walk, or down a grocery aisle etc, who take up the whole walk/aisle, and are to busy chatting to realise they've shoved you out into traffic, or pinned you against a shelf of food (and I got an elbow in the gut as well).

Lastly, people who glare at you for their own kids rudeness. Like when the 9 or 10 year old rammed into me, because he wasn't paying attention to where he was going, and then had the audacity to say something smart to me about watching where I was going (I had no way to avoid him, he careened into me), and then his Mom glared at me like I had tried to hurt her precious angel.

People who don't know the width of their cars. It is hysterical to watch people with small cars edging through a gap between something (parked cars, bollards, etc) when they've got 2 feet on either side on the vehicle. My grandfather always used to say "You could get a bus through there!"

That's another thing I forgot to mention!!! :wallbash: It happens a lot at my university but I don't let them run me off the sidewalk or anything, I just break up their little group. If I have to bump shoulders harder than usual, I'll do it.

I really hate people who see someone they know in the grocery store, and take up the whole isle talking to their friend! I am there pateintly waiting to get by them. They are too busy talking to notice me stanind behind them! I said... "HmmmHmm.." trying to get their attention. They don't notice... then I say.. "excuse me"...they still don't notice, so I quietly push thier cart out of the way with my cart.. just enough to get by, and they either still NEVER noticed I was there, or they give me a dirty look for not just politely asking them to move out of the way! I hate it! Hello.. this is a grocery store, not a social event. I am not opposed to talking to people in the grocery store, just DON'T stand in the middle of the isle and waist everyone elses time too!:)

It also bugs me when people do shorthand speak while posting in threads. We are not in a chat room, we are not text messaging! Type out y-o-u (not 'u'), a-r-e (not 'r'), etc. I'm not talking about internet shorthand like "IIRC," "FWIW" or "TPTB." I'm talking about people who are too lazy to type out a stinking 3 or 4 letter word.

*phew* that felt good. :redface:

Oh I know! That makes me so mad. "R U ther?" "C U L8R!" Aaah, it drives me mad.

People who stare. I was in the mall with my friends last weekend and we finished eating at the food court and I was standing on the side waiting for them to throw out their trays when a whole group of people, adults mind you, stared at me. Just stared. I felt like an alien or something. I was like is something out of place on my clothes? My hair was down so nothing was out of place, I have no deformities, no handicap, I'm just a regular young woman, they just wanted to stare. So rude. Then they stared at my friends and then I noticed as I walked away, they stared at other people walking by, like following them with their eyes, hard. Ugh.
Now I know people go to the mall to people watch but thats different then staring at someone just to stare. It doesn't mind me much if a kid stares because its a kid, he/she doesn't know any better, unless their parent should teach them not to stare. It just makes you feel like your under a microscope being examined.

Staring is so bloody annoying. I always just give them an evil glare and then they stop. It's like how would you feel if I stared at you for no reason? I always make an attempt not to look at people who pass me when I'm sitting so they don't feel like I do.

My statistics class is kinda annoying. The teacher has slides and of course, we're suppose to take notes. You're not suppose to write the whole thing because that would take forever. That's what shorthand is for. Anyway, there's always these 3 girls who are always like, "I'm not finished!" Hello!?!?!? She can't delay the class just for you!

When people say "What's up?" instead of saying "hi or hello". I always feel obligated to say something. I feel like a dork saying, not much, but I know they aren't actually asking "what's up".

I hate it when people don't rinse their dishes before they put it in the sink. One of my former roomies never rinsed her dishes after making mac and cheese and they'd sit in the sink dry for days.

In our apartment we have a utensil seperator thingie and my boyfriend never puts the teaspoons and tablespoons in the right sections- he just puts them where ever. That's why we got the thing darling!

And what makes it even worse, is the person I was talking to doesn't say anything - as if it would be even more rude to say "Hey! We were talking here!"

^Dellamona, love your avie.

Ok. I was driving down a highway through a town. It was congested, as always. We're moving about 40-45mph. We stop at a red light. Well this guy in front of me sees someone he knows next to him and decides to have a conversation, fine by me. The light turns green, he doesn't move, I'm a patient person, I'm sure he saw the light turn green and he'll move soon. Then some guy behind me decides to honk his horn. The guy in front of me thinks its me who's honking so he stuck his middle finger up at me and sped off screaming profanities.

Now, I usually laugh that stuff off, but I was really offended. Biggest pet peeve...stickinig your middle finger up at a stranger, so rude, so offensive. Its just a finger but in this society its meant as a message. A bad one. I'm over it though. Road rage is so ugly.

Even worse than people who try to talk to you when you're on the phone - the people who stand there waiting for you to get off the phone, all the while listening to your conversation! At work, I deal with physicians on the phone, whom I work for, and other people in my office just STAND there listening to me talk to the doctor while they wait for me to get off the phone. So rude.

I can't stand the people who will toss something toward a garbage can, like they think they're a basketball star, then leave it on the ground after they miss! Jeez, people - get off your butt and throw your trash away!

Sadly, cutting people off on the freeway is the "norm" here in California. I've also noticed that people are driving more recklessly these days. It could be that there are more drivers on the road, but it makes the driving experience a lot less "appealing."

This happened to me and my hubby the very day that we were driving our baby home from the hospital! I could have killed the driver of the car that cut us off. People drive around like they have nothing to lose, and they defenitly don't think about what is going on in the cars around them!! Here I was.. driving my baby home.. 2 days old... and NO one had a clue... they were driving like idiots!

I'm not trying to defend bad drivers- people who cut people off, don't consider the danger their putting others in, etc. But people that consider themselves "good" drivers do the same thing. There are so many people who claim to be safe drivers but do not realize that they're a hazard. What am I talking about? People who drive slowly in the fast lane when there are two empty lanes on their right, people who could be driving in the slow lane instead of clogging up the middle lane, etc. The other day I was driving home in the fast lane and someone going significantly slower than I was moved into the far left lane. They didn't "cut me off" per se- but I did have to get over quickly to avoid them.

Bad driving isn't just about going fast and cutting people off- it's also about being aware of your surroundings. Not enough people keep an eye on what's going on behind them and to their sides.

Illinois passed a law last year making it illegal to drive in the far left lane unless you're passing someone- and it's like no one cares. I admit- I drive fast and I'm too impatient to wait for someone to get out of my way. So I move from one lane to another until I can get past everyone. (don't worry- i'm careful) But I wouldn't have to do that if people obeyed the law and stayed to the right unless they were passing.

The absolute worst driving sin (other than DUI, I guess) is tailgating the car in front of you. I've seen thousands of rear-ender accidents on major and minor highways, but have never seen or heard of anyone being ticketed for tailgating. When a driver cuts someone off, that could be attributed to a lapse in judgment. When a driver is six inches behind my bumper on the highway, that's a conscious decision on that driver's part to say 'Screw you' to me and my friends/family, and put our safety at risk so he can get where he's going a few seconds sooner. Inexcusable, indefensible.

Another huge pet peeve: Smokers who seem to think everyone else should be smoking right along with them. To get from the parking lot to my office, I have to cross a bridge over a creek. The bridge runs perpendicular to a paved path. Where do you suppose 90% of the smokers stand? Yep, right at the intersection of the 'T' so everyone coming in can get a good whiff. Fifty yards either way down the path, and they wouldn't be bothering anybody. Is their emphysema so bad already that they can't make it fifty yards out of common courtesy?!?

Another HUGE pet peeve (I'm on a roll now!) is rich kids who think they're entitled to the best of everything and let themselves lose all touch with reality. My fiancee has a friend whom I absolutely despise - this person and her fiancee are from wealthy families, went to the best schools, and have a guaranteed future, and she has to slip the cost of everything into a conversation, just so everyone's impressed. She's also a 'kiss up, kick down' type at work who is loathed by co-workers (except my saintly bride-to-be and a very few others) but anointed by management. News flash: You can afford your lifestyle through no merit of your own whatsoever, so down off the high horse, please.

2. People who cannot take 2 seconds to do a job that I am then going to have to nag them about for the next 24 hours to do. i.e. 'Honey, please can you take the bin out?' 'In a minute!' - Two hours later - 'Honey, you still haven't taken the bin out.' 'Yeah, just getting to it.' - Next day other half wanders down in the morning - 'What's that smell?' 'It's the bin I asked you to take out yesterday.'

Now seriously - what was the point? Why not just press pause on whatever he was doing (mind the fact that had he been doing something important I wouldn't have asked him!) and take the bloody bin out?

One thing, if you're going to smoke in front of a toy store or any kid place, especially the doctors, don't blow the smoke as we all try to walk into the doors! I have a big family, ergo, I'm the family babysitter. I took my baby nephew, 3 year old niece and 7 year old nephew to the toystore. As we walked in, a smoker puffed out a bunch of smoke. yuck! Which is what they said as they coughed. My nephews and nieces don't want to inhale that. I don't want them to either. Not every smoker does it but those that do are not very considerate.

I take the bus to and from work so I am exposed to all sorts of annoying bus behavior from the drivers to the passengers - they all manage to annoy me at some time or another. For example:

- people who like to stand in the stair well and block anyone from being able to get off without begging them to move
- people who don't move to the back of the bus when there is plenty of room to do so, they all seem to stop at the middle door - I can see seats back there but I can't get at them
- people who take up way too much room for their skinny *****, a 90 lb teenager can take an amazing amount of space (seats) when they try, fortunately I just bark at them to sit straight so I can sit down
- people who think the seat next to them is a place to plunk down their gym bag/back pack on a crowded bus (again, I am not too shy to get them to move it)
- people who leave their newspapers behind (the free ones of course) for someone else to clean up
- people who wear too much perfume (in this case, I prefer to stand than choke sitting next to them)
- people who don't move or give up their seat for the handicapped or people with kids

OK - this is probably the one that infuriates me the most!
You come to an intersection, & there's some group of school children collecting for a school trip or something. They've got every side covered, so here you are having to stop for the red light, while some kid holds his can up to your window! And if you dont give, they look at you like you're a cheapskate!

But wait! it gets worse than that! Sometimes, the local police are out there doing the same thing for some cause or another. So you pull up to a red light & heres a cop with a can in your face! I'm sorry folks, but in my book - this is intimidating people into donating, & I refuse to do it. :mad:

Ah! I forgot about that one! Not only that but people trying to read what I'm reading when they're in front of me. I either put the paper, magazine, etc. down or tell them to stop. lol That really bugs me.

I get this sometimes at school. In the auditorium class rooms, some people put their foot on the back of your chair and then they move it even a little bit, you can feel it. :wallbash: I'm getting angry just thinking about it! This also happens at theaters. Oh! Here's another. Picture this: you're sitting at a restaurant booth and the seats are connected only by the back rest. All of the sudden, some ignorant person in the booth in back of you and slams their back against the back rest and boom, you're pushed foward. I HATE that with a passion!!!!!!!!

Ooh yes Aurora, people who kick your chair. ESPECIALLY at the movies. They don't even care that someone is sitting in front of them, how rude! Oh and then they continue to kick the chair throughout the movie. Or if someone behind you gets up to leave the aisle ad they bump your head hard without even saying sorry. I love going to the movies, but I like to go on a non-packed house night.

1. Non-smokers who insist on telling you when or where you can smoke OUTSIDE. We're outside, people, you won, now STFU.

I was waiting for an autograph after a concert in a BIG, HUGE field, mind you... for three hours. And every time my husband and I lit up we got greeted by a chorus of "Well the next time you're in the emergency room where I'm nursing, I won't treat you." Hello? Unethical, for one... and for two, we're outside. You have no right. I'm ten feet away from you, bite me.

2. People who cannot punctuate properly, or use space effectively when posting. Their posts look like they dribbled from their brains right out their fingers and I find them incomprehensible.

3. People Who Write Every Word They Say Like This Thinking It Makes People Slow Down To Read What They Say And Pay Attention.

4. People who can't distinguish between "your" and "you're" or "there" and "they're" or "lose" and "loose".

Oh man.. that is soooo annoying:) Hahahahahaha!! I think I just get mad because he risks waking the baby up with no plans of helping me when he does wake up:)


I found a new pet peeve today! My hubby and I are walking through the mall... and he files in line behind me to avoid crashing into other people when WHAM.. he steps on the back of my flip flop and I get flat tired! It's a horrible feeling! He said.."I'm sorry" but it sooo annoys me that i'm sorry isn't affective at the time!!!! Anyway... that's my new pet peeve!


AND..... when someone walks in on you in the bathroom because they stalls NEVER Properly shut! Anyway... so people walk in and the step out almost immediatly(sp?) and then say..."sorry!". Then what am I supposed to say? It always comes out.."it's ok!"... NO... it wasn't ok.. but what am I supposed to say? I don't know if the person walking in bothers me the most because they didnt check for feet first... or if it is the fact that the stalls never lock properly!

Then there are people who think they know everything even you know they are wrong, and styrofoam, and music videos that are like widescreen except instead of black its some annoying pink ruffling cloth and there are lots of others like when people obviously know I'm doing something and they tell me to do something else, and people who rub in how many vacations they have been on... As you can see I have many problems lol i have more and I can remeber thinking about one the other day... oh yeah!!! I hate ot when teachers erase chalkboards but leave marks its kinda like OCD for me i just want to fix it but I know I can't! ok I'm done

Mosquitoes. Summer is coming, that means the mosquitoes are too. I can do without a gazillion bites on my bodacious bod, thank you. They itch, that's even worse!!! No, the worse part is that there's nothing I can do about it. Then you don't know when they're on you, you just see a bite. Ewww! A bug was on me and I didn't know? Yuck!Bug spray does not work.

That's my number one pet peeve as well. During exams this year, there was this guy who sat behind me, and the whole entire time he sniffled every 30 seconds. It aggitated me so much, that after the first hour i had big red marks on my hands from digging my ruler into my hand in frustration.

Also, another pet peeve is when I go to the movies and people laugh incredibly hard when something is not funny at allllll.

Oooh that gets on my nerves too. My best friend doesn it all the time! Then when the movie gets quiet for a second, I could actually hear her swallow. Ok, it's a quiet moment in the movie, it should be quiet. But it's something that will not go away. Like mosquitoes. Summer is around the corner and they will be everywhere...just lurking. Ewww. Anyway, when people leave popcorn all over the floor and leave their bags and food there and I have to try to walk over it in a little aisle. Gross.

My new big pet peeve. Brought to you by a spoilerish sister. I watch Prison Break, love the show. I was talking about it with my sister a few minutes ago when all of a sudden she says casually X and Y dies. Ok I don't like spoilers. Therefore don't tell it to me. I avoid all spoiler sections and spoilerish information. That is unless I really really want to know. Which happens sometimes. It's really family and friends that end up spoiling it for me. I wish I can highlight their mouths! Or wear a shirt that says "No spoilers please".

Or when I say, Oh I want to see that movie. And someone says Oh yea it was good, x and y dies at the end. Ugh! I didn't want to know! Now I don't want to see the movie thank you.

His dad was watching him & told him firmly "Dont write on that!" But the kid kept pretending to draw just to test his dad's limit!
Then, he goes back to his dad's lap & starts striping off & refastening the velcro straps on his shoes...over and over and over.....
There were a number of elderly people in there, & I could tell it was driving them nuts too, but that dad just lets him go on and on!

I hate bratty kids too! I have a kid and at this age (19 months) he is getting a little hard to please sometimes when we go out! I used to HATE kids who didn't just sit there on thier laps and behave like I did when I was a kid! Now Aydan is like most boys, and doesnt want to sit still! I get dirty looks from people when Aydan acts up, but sometimes him acting up is better than me trying to stop it! Most situations I will stop but sometimes, like waiting in a doctors office, it is best for him to get a LITTLE bratty than have me try to stop him and make a HUGE scene! Any other situation I will step and just take him out of the grocery store.. or away from the park.. or whatever... places we DONT have to be! But I guess this leads into one of MY pet peeves! People who don't understand kids! Like.. ME waiting in the social securities office.. LONG WAIT.. my son is playing and laughing when someone tells me to keep him quite! Ok.. I took something away from him, he starts screaming, then everyone was really annoyed! Let my son be... he was happy...do you want to listen to him crying! Anyway... I think I have told this story here before! I have a lot of patience... but I guess not everyone does!

Another pet peeve.. when people talk really loud in the car! My mom talks sooooo loud in the car and I am like.."MOM... I am right here! You don't have to yell!" hahaha!

A couple months ago when I went to LA, I got stuck tight next to a typical annoying Cali girl.

My biggest pet peeve at the moment is filling up my tank. I absolutely hate it when it runs out and gas is suddenly 10 cents more expensive than the last time it ran out. I've tried talking to my car about it, but it still keeps running out of gas

I feel your pain Mookie!!! Gas is so expensive now! It also gets me angry when you fill up the tank and a day or two later it is like 30 cents cheaper!!! :rolleyes: That gets me really angry!! :mad:

Women also don't wear only white becuase it can make them look really pale if they're not 100% tan. Most people who create the ads wouldn't get that! :rolleyes:

Lol, yeah! And also white is not a very slimming colour.:frown:

people who keep on asking things grrrr my friend kept on saying for this answer what else can i put? do you think thats ok? would they be called bright colours? aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh! i was about to explode by the end of it!Don't get me started, brighty....I have 3 kids under the age of 8. The Questions. Never. END!!!

Completely serious....I actually told my son the other day that if he asked me one more question I was going to make him write down every single question he had for the rest of the day and just give me the list at bedtime. :rolleyes: The thing that gets me is that it's so random...."Mommy, when I'm 12...." I mean, you're 8! Ask me when you're 12! :lol: (I love my kids more than anything, don't get me wrong, but it gets overwhelming...I miss silence a lot. :rolleyes:)

I noticed something today that I HATE!!!! Commercials about a certain week during all months.. in a womans life!! Get me?? Ok... so what I hate most of all is when commercials about this are aired on tv, and they always, always, always show the woman in WHITE! Like.. look at me... "I am using this product and I can wear white now!" It bothers me to NO end!! It isn't like ME, as a FEMALE will believe that a product will work just because the woman are wear white! It's just annoying!This has ALWAYS driven me nuts!!!

My latest one....I'm going on a big trip at the end of the month and I've been shopping....Why don't designers just :censored: deside to agree on women's clothing sizes???? It makes me INSANE!! I'm one size in one deisgner and then a bigger/smaller size in another. :wallbash:

That's EXACTLY why I don't let non-viewers watch LOST. I refuse to let them see it, at least with me. If someone comes up to me one day, tells me that they watched a little bit the other night, and asks me a bunch of questions, I tell them to stop watching and buy the S1 DVD. ARRRRRRRGH, this is a huge pet peeve.

Haha, my brother's like that too. And I'm the insane Lost fan. He's like "Shut up!" but for some reason I always have to comment about what's going on; I can't wait until the commercials, lol. But I try to be quiet so we can listen.

Same here! Last night I actually turn my cell phone off instead of vibrate.

Oh yeah, speaking of non-viewers, I agree with you.

Que? You lost me there.... :undecide:

Oh no, I was posting with the cryptic tags again, wasn't I? :) I was just thinking that it doesn't seem likely that gas prices are going to drop a lot any time soon, so you at least won't have that pet peeve to worry about. More like you drove past a cheap station at a quarter tank and didn't fill up, and then it was 10 cents MORE the next day.

This one won't qualify as a big pet peeve, it just annoyed me because it happened the other day--when an ice cream store has those really cheap plastic spoons with the sharp edges and I actually cut my lip on the plastic spoon. It's like a paper cut...on your mouth.

If they're too lazy to think, they should stick with mindless sitcoms! :rolleyes:

I tried to explain it to my oldest sister, & she just has this unshakable mindset that it's a reality show like survivor. She just keeps asking: "so...it's a real show...like with a story & writers...right?" I have totally given up trying to recruit new viewers....it's too far into the series. Maybe 10 years from now, when it goes into syndication, they'le discover it!

You made me laugh with the sitcom comment! :D (Then again it is very true! :biggrin: ) I know the feeling! It isn't that complicated, but if you don't start from the begininng it can be a little hard to comprehend! ;)

I know, that happens to me too sometimes! I hate that too! thats one of my biggest pet peeve as well. lol! A few times my bf called me before it came on, than my friend called me when it was on. lol.. than my dad calls me few mins before the epi ends.. lol! I hate that! Hate to just say "sorry, i cant talk to you right now.. watching LOST!" Hate to just hang up the phone on them too. When I'm hooked on an episode.. no interruptions please! I should just put the phone off the hook when LOST is on! lol! But, I hate doing that.. lol :redface:

Parents who let their obnoxious kids do what they like.

I was in church today and they were having first Holy Communions. Of course, 50% of the people there don't go regularly. Some people were standing and I was sitting towards the back. There was this couple who had this bratty little girl at their side. The WHOLE time she was playing with one of the song books. Those things are new and were quite expensive. Everyone is always reminded to not let their children play with them cause of those reasons. The little girl would put the book on the floor, slide it around the ground, smack it, and ruffle the pages. The father took the book away ONLY ONCE but when he did that, the little girl did her annoying fake cry and got it back. The parents wouldn't do anything after that. By the end, she ripped some of the pages. I was gritting my teeth the whole time. :wallbash:
