Pet Peeves

I did a search using our lovely search function and didn't find anything.

When someone invites you somewhere there are only two appropriate answers - "yes, thank you" or "no, thank you". Not responding is never an appropriate answer. It shows a total lack of regard for the people doing the inviting. And when pressed for an answer some time after the original invite the wrong response is "That's my birthday. I have plans". The correct response is "That's my birthday. I have plans. BUT THANK YOU FOR ASKING".

Gah

Excessive noise while eating. I seriously want to strangle people who are loud eaters. Yes, I am a very rational person.

A big one for me is when people are too lazy to bring the grocery carts back to the corral and they just leave them next to where they parked. Not only do they block potential parking spots, but a gust of wind could ram them into your car. Every time I go shopping I see runaway carts everywhere, some even 10 feet from the corral. How hard is it to walk a few steps?

* People who ask you to do something, then add, "Please and thank you!" NO. You thank me AFTER I DO IT.

* Anything not done that can be accomplished in 5 seconds.

* Loud talkers on public transportation (whether they're on a phone or not).

* Using "LOL" as punctuation. ("I just saw this comedian and he was great LOL")

I live in a condo and the building has those carts that people are able load their stuff on when entering to bring to their apartments. Much like hotel carts. You are supposed to return the carts to the lobby, not just load them onto the elevator and let them go for a freaking ride! Nothing worse then getting into a small elevator and having to squeeze in beside a cart that some lazy ass mother f*cker didn't see fit to return to where it f*cking goes!

That would be annoying Snafu. I hate when I am already going over the speed limit and people ride all up on my ass. It doesn't make me want to speed up, it makes me want to slow down to EXACTLY the speed limit. GET OFF MY ASS MOTHA EFFA'S!

I hate when people call musicals "plays".

I wouldn't call that a pet peeve, but it is a bit annoying and I could see how you would. They are not the same thing peeps!

I hate it when someone hands me a receipt for a bottle of soda, or a pack of gum. When you think of how many places give everyone a receipt for everything (convenience stores, fast food, etc), it's a terrible waste.

~When you send out invitations with an RSVP and people don't respond and you have to call them. Why send out invites if you have to call anyway? So rude!!!

~I hate dishes in the sink, especially when there is a dish washer right next to the sink!!!

Exercise clothes as casual attire.

And this is coming from someone who doesn't even consider himself a fashionista.

"Exercise clothes as casual attire."

Or, pajamas as casual attire.

When someone prefaces a request with "I hate to ask this, but....".

If you hate to ask it then don't ask it.

Situations where you literally know that you ARE right, and someone keeps disagreeing with you and picking with you to get their way. For example, when someone asks another person when the date of something is.

When people whisper about you when you can hear them. Make it a little less obvious when you are gonna call me a f*g, jocks.

This! * Loud talkers on public transportation (whether they're on a phone or not).

Also, people who think "myself" can be used interchangeably with "me."

Parties of two who manage to take up an entire sidewalk. Parties of any size, really. Add not walking to the right to that add.

I dont think I have strength to list all of mine!

Boobsie, you couldnt be married to my husband. He is incapable of putting a dish in the dishwasher, or wringing out the sponge and putting it in it's cradle. 16 years I've been trying to break him of this. Certainly he's worth it anyway, but it's a BIG pet peeve of mine.

When employees at stores treat you like crap the minute you walk in. I'M buying your stuff, don't give me attitude.

When people interrupt my conversation with someone else without saying "excuse me".

I thought of another biggie: People who insist on driving with their high beams on. I can understand being on the highway or a dark country road, but a small city with street lights every 50 feet or so? I often get 5 cars in a row with their high beams blinding me and I fear that I may drive off the road one of these days.

When you're talking about something and someone says "Not to change the subject" Well isn't that what you're doing? Why do you even have to say that?

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 6/30/10 at 10:19am

People that race through parking lots as if they were driving on the highway.

People that move into the left lane of a highway, then don't even do the speed limit, let alone go over it.

Pretending a stop sign says Yield.




Yes...I have road rage.

oh... I have quite a list!

In addition to all those mentioned here:

- When the guy in the deli doesn't wipe the knife he used to make the sandwich of the person before me before he makes mine. (I don't want the other guys mustard and pickles, etc to flavor my sandwich!!) Just wipe the damn blade between each sandwich!

- When someone pops buttery popcorn or heats up fish in the office microwave. Gag!

- When someone doesn't use their blinker to indicate they are making a turn in their car. Or turns from the wrong lane.

Oh, oh oh! People in grocery check out lines who are on their cell phones digging through their pocketbooks and or wallets one handed looking for the exact change. Hang up and pay attention to what you are doing and use BOTH HANDS ("that's what she said!")!

Women who watch hundreds of dollars of groceries being rung up and bagged for five minutes and wait until the clerk announces the total to begin the search for their wallet or check book in their duffle size handbags. Really?!
