Pet Peeves — Page 4

Gum poppers....anywhere. (I took the shotgun off the wall.........). And I will!
People who can't lift their finger 2 inches to use a turn signal while they are driving. It's rude and dangerous.

vbplayer, never move to DC. No one here uses turn signals on the road, especially on the Beltway.

---

People who talk on their cell phones on the bus (on my way to work). Can I please start off my day with some peace and quiet and not have to listen to your pathetic conversation (especially since you're not doing anything about keeping your voice down).

White suburban boys talking like urban ethnic boys...

Wow, I have a lot of pet peeves and I'm really OCD about some things...I must be hard to live with. I HATE when people chew with their mouth open or just make a lot of noise when they eat; sounds stupid but it bugs the hell out of me. Greatdct, I get annoyed by slow walkers/drivers too. But I also hate when I'm driving and someone is tailgating me (because 80 isn't fast enough for them)...so I usually just take my foot off the gas and let the car slow down to make them even madder...And, I HATE when people move my stuff, especially stuff in my room.

OMG, I work at Toys R Us and that happened to me a few days ago. I rang everything up and then the woman realized she didn't have her credit card with her...And, let me just say that there are some really b*tchy people who shop at that store.

Lateness.

When I answer the phone at work and then the other person says, "Hello?" and just sits there. YOU CALLED ME, LOSER!!!

Even better, they say, "Hello?" and when you wait for them to either identify themselves or say why they're calling, they say, "HELLO????" like you're the idiot.

People who try to get ON the subway/bus/elevator before letting the other people OFF. This goes for doorways too. Let people OUT before you go IN.

When people leave 1/4 inch of coffee in the coffee pot at work, so they don't have to be the one to make a new pot.

People who interrupt me, mid-sentence, while I am speaking.

Idiots who stand in line, say at the coffee place, but don't begin looking at the menu, or thinking about what coffee/muffin/etc. they MIGHT want until they are standing in the front of the line. Then they spend 10 minutes trying to determine what they want (while the line continues to grow behind them).

At airports, when people going through security don't have their shoes off/laptop out/boarding pass ready and have to do this whole song and dance and striptease when they get to the FRONT of the line. Sometimes I want to say - "gee you heard the agent ask the fellow in front of you to take his laptop out, put his shoes in the bin, have his ID and boarding pass ready...why do you think this does not apply to you as well?"

Really, I'm a nice person. I just have a very low tolerance for cluelessness.

people who have to be better/more important than you in ANY WAY imaginable. Even in the most pathetic way.

example:

me: wow, i have such a bad cough! its just awful! it doesn't want to go away!

ignoramous: WOW i know what you mean! i have been SO incredibly sick lately! My bad cough and my sore throat and my runny rose and my sprained ankle and my broken elbow and my fractured skull and my....

me: uhm..okay, what is this, a competition?

The trolls at Whole Foods who believe that the samples put out are an "all you can eat" buffet. What I just witnessed during my lunch break is beyond words.

---

People that like to emotionally manipulate other people.

---

Boobs, I hear you. I dated someone who would say, "it's neither here nor there." I mean, WTF, what is that supposed to mean. He would always use that phrase as a way of not being accountable for anything.
