Posted: 6/30/10 at 11:05amMYadgal, your last one reminded me of yet another driving pet peeve (I swear, unlike girlie I don't have road rage). When you're waiting to make a turn into a main street and you see a car coming so you don't go. Then just at the last moment, said car turns into the street you're in -- and the whole time you could've made your turn. USE YOUR F*CKING DIRECTIONALS!!!

Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes

Speaking of grocery stores, people who pay with a check and don't even think about getting their ID until asked for it. So then they have to dig around for it in their purse.
I mean come on. Have your ID handy and have your check made out with the stores name on it already.

Living with roommates in NY, not washing dishes is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. Just putting it in the sink is asking someone else to take care of your sh*t.
The loud talkers on the subway! The middle school set is the worst. I try to avoid the subway around the 3 o'clock hour.
What's worse is that I have a few friends who are loud subways talkers. I was once riding with this girl who insisted on talking about the sex she had last night. When she noticed the look of horror on my face she simply replied, "Oh, i'm really open about my sexuality." Apparently so.

Posted: 6/30/10 at 11:36amPeople in the stall next to you in the mens room who are on their cell phone. The best is when you don't realize and they say "HI, what are you?" and of course you answer them because you think they are talking to you!!!!

People talking on cells in the bathroom is the most vile, pervy, gross thing EVER!! I do NOT want my pee to be YOUR backround sound during your conversation!!!! EEWWWWW!!!!! I HATE THAT!!!

Stagey, thanks for the heads up on that one.
clever, I agree. I don't understand why anyone has to be on the phone while doing their business. The call can't wait??? Even if I am home I will tell people that I will call them back when I have to go.

I could not agree more, clever.
But just for fun next time that happens to me I'm going to pretend I'm on the phone too. And then have a conversation about what an asshole the guy in the next stall is.

Cell phone use is outta hand...I have a long commute on NJ Transit and a perfectly quiet car will be ruined by one ahole who insists on making asanine phone calls. I understand if you have to check in with the boss, call your assistant, leave a message about being picked up, etc. But dont take a conference call or tell you friend about how crappy your date was or call your mother and chat about this weekends bbq and who's bringing the potato salad!!!!
Also, you really dont need to check your email or text anyone on the stairs to the subway...noone does. NOone is trying that hard to get in touch with you.

Posted: 6/30/10 at 12:14pmaddy, I hate people speeding in parking lots too. Where my son takes karate there is also a dance school right next door and so there are a lot of little kids crossing into them, and these idiots are always FLYING through there. Freaks me out.

Pretending a stop sign says Yield.
Or how about pretending a Yield sign doesn't even exist? My office is on a circle and people just fly into the circle every day not even bothering to slow down. I cannot tell you how many close calls I've had because of people not Yielding to those who have the right of way.

Posted: 6/30/10 at 12:18pmMen who don't wash their hands before exiting the mens room. HELLO it's called HYGIENE!!!!

^ oh god yes!
Although, I admit to not washing my hands when I have to go in the middle of the night. I don't want to wake myself up too much.

sing as long as you wash them before you eat breakfast. 
#39Pet Peeves
Posted: 6/30/10 at 12:53pmPeople who take off their shoes in inappropriate places, like restaurants, airplanes, movie theaters, etc. Particularly when they then put their feet up on a chair.

Snoring/loud breathing. Can't. Handle. It.
Loud eaters. Doesn't matter if they chew with their mouth open or closed, it I can hear them, I want to punch them.
People who are two feet away from a crosswalk and don't use it.
People who hit the crosswalk button 150000 times. IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE ANY SOONER!
People who shouldn't sing and do anyways. Even if it's in church.
Girls who wear tiaras.
Etc.

^ I hate that too. Some guys took off their shoes at God of Carnage when I went, and it was in the front row.
I hate when people decide to move their car, after their light has turned red. I have seen too many people do that recently when I can count a few seconds where the light was already red, and not turning red.

Posted: 6/30/10 at 1:40pmI find it really skeevy when people engage in personal grooming in public places (like clipping one's nails or tweezing one’s eyebrows on the subway or sitting in a Starbucks). It always amazes when people don’t have a sense of the types of behavior that are appropriate in public vs. private settings. Some of it is just a plain old-fashioned lack of manners and sense, but I really think that it is reflective of a broader social issue, in that the lines between private and public have become blurred. Due to the plethora of reality TV, social media and the means for instant gratification provided by technology, so many people walk around acting as if they are the star of their own reality show and can therefore do whatever they want whenever they want.

driving -
When you are going to make a turn but can't because the person is blocking half the intersection already but then waves thank you when you let them by. No idiot, you made it impossible for me to turn so i had no choice!
Smokers - people who throw cigs on the ground when there is an ashtray two feet away.

Boobs- I sure do. I'm practically OCD about hand washing when I'm not half asleep.
And I see nothing wrong with taking shoes off on an airplane (as long as your feet don't stink, of course). If it's an international flight, I half expect it.
People who walk around staring into their blackberries/iPhones/etc. Do you have to send that text message right now? Is it important to check who commented on your latest tweet? Look up, and enjoy the sunshine for awhile.

Posted: 6/30/10 at 1:50pmI hate when people wear their shoes in my house. We are a "take your shoes off when you come in" house because we have white tile floors. We have friends that NEVER take their shoes off and they are tracking crap all over my floors. And the other day they let their 3 year old come into my house to go to the bathroom DRIPPING from the pool. Like straight out of the pool without even drying him off with a towel. I got a towel and mopped it all up and then they did it again 20 minutes later.

IAMWHATIAM, I have a coworker who has been caught clipping her toenails in her office. I haven't seen her do that but I have seen her clip her fingernails.
I keep a manicure set in my desk drawer at work but only for when I break/tear a nail. Clipping it is a lot better than sitting here biting it because it's distracting me.

Posted: 6/30/10 at 2:03pmI also hate people who are in relationships and feel the need to announce it all the time. Like a friend of mine will always put on facebook when she is doing something with her boyfriend and always refers to him as her man. I don't have anything against relationships, but there are ways of enjoying it without throwing it in everyone's faces.

When I lived in a multiple roommate situation, we had one roommate who would never do his dishes. It got to the point where every time we found his dishes left in the sink, we'd take them out of the sink and put them on his bed, crusty food/grease/stagnant water and all. He got the message pretty quickly.
(but an airplane's an inappropriate place to take off your shoes? when I flew Air China, they expected it -- in fact, they give you little slippers to put on once you get into your seat)
My pet peeve is when people take out iphones for prolonged periods of time when eating out. Be social for an hour, for pity's sake. The same stories will still be on Gawker when you get home.

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?!
I was just about to add this. I hate it when people seem surprised that they have to pay for their items after everything is wrung up at the register.
Probably the biggest offense when driving for me are those who cruise by on the shoulder during a traffic jam so they can avoid the wait and force their way in at the last moment. I always try and block them, but people let them in anyway.
