The Weirdest Pet Peeve You Have?

Oh Hubbard, I have a LOT.

Probably the most annoying one that crawls under my skin is when a person lies and someone uses fifteen different synonyms for lying to describe their behavior.

Example:

"Bill has lied. He has fabricated his resume. He hid the facts from me. He slipped the truth in his own arse..." and so on.

I dunno. Does this unnerve anyone else too?

I can't handle people sitting on the same side of the booth with the other side completely empty. It drives me crazy. I don't care if you're on a date or if you don't want to shout across the table. There are two sides for a reason. It's normal. Sharing the one side is just obxious.

Oooo, it really gets me.
i'm a tough act to follow because when i'm done i take the microphone with me.

when people say "Do you want to come with?"

You DO NOT end a sentence on a prepositional phrase like that. Come with whom? Mom, me, you, your dog, uncle Charles, etc. Finish the sentence!

South Carolina. But, I was an English major than minor, so that is why I have that pet peeve. Before college, I could care less. re: The Weirdest Pet Peeve You Have?

When people say "bless you" before I'm finished sneezing; it stops my sneeze but leaves me with an unpleasant tickeling in my nose for at least 20 minutes afterwards. *grumblegrumble*

The subway sentries. You know, those two people who stand at each side of the subway door (even though it's not that crowded and they don't need to get off for about 15 stops) and make the entryway one person wide instead of three. I always make it a point to "accidentally" smack them with my bag as I'm getting on or off.

Splitting infinitives, as you can see, is not a pet peeve of mine, however.

re: The Weirdest Pet Peeve You Have?

Recently I have developed a new pet peeve. I can not stand people who feel the need to inflict the booming bass from their car stereo system upon others. I had to put up with one such person yesterday for about 20 minutes. Things in my car were shaking because of the bass. I assumed that he was right behind me, but upon closer inspection he was about five cars behind me. Five cars behind me and it was causing that much of a distraction. I don't know how the cars nearer to him where handling the noise. It is one thing to have your music on loud, but that is ridiculous!

I hate buying something for $1, giving the person a 10 and getting 9 singles back. Should it bother me? No, $9 is $9 is $9, but I find it depressing having this wad of money (so I feel like I have a lot), and they're really all singles...so I don't. It just aggrivates the hell out of me!

Calvin, I hate that too, I dont mind if they move for people to get on and off, but just this morning had a large girl playing a game on her phone who refused to move for anyone.

The clueless backpack wearers who unknowingly hit everyone in their radius. When I have a backpack, I take it off and hold it on the subway...why doesnt everyone know to do that?

Another one is the leg crossers. I understand that women feel less threatened this way, but it is the ones who have their legs and feet way out into the aisle...and kick everyone passing. I make it a point to walk by and hit them, especially when they are sleeping.

I will likely be killed for giving a dirty look on the subway to the wrong person. If I dont post in awhile, check the local news for subway shootings.

re: The Weirdest Pet Peeve You Have?

Sepaking of subways, and this applies to elevators as well...

It drives me absolutely mad when folks feel the need to enter subway/elevator/doorway, without letting the person who is trying to leave the elevator/subway/doorway do so first.

My rule of thumb - let people out before you plow your way in. Simple enough, good manners.

I've gotten to the point where I won't let the plowers in before I get out. I just push through, or do the "who is going to move which way first" dance until they get the point that I need to get off the subway/elevator/out the door before they can get on the elevator/subway/in the door. Then they give me a dirtly look! The nerve!

re: The Weirdest Pet Peeve You Have?

I'm a frequent glarer, too, doodle. But I got my come-uppance the other day. I got on the A train during rush hour, and a man was lying across 5 or 6 seats. I did my usual passive-aggressive loud sighs, dirty looks, grumbling, etc. The next stop, a medical team came and got him. I guess he was really sick. I felt quite guilty afterward.

re: The Weirdest Pet Peeve You Have?

Oh Calvin, that is something that might happen to me...tho it's more likely that I'll glare at some woman with a backpack and get maced...they have a new "legal" version of it now, ya know.

re: The Weirdest Pet Peeve You Have?

definately, peach. happens to me everyday on the bus.

I hate slow people. if you are driving under the speed limit, that is one of my biggest. also, I hate crowded areas when I am trying to get somewhere. it's like, move your fat a**es people!!! some of us actually have things to do and places to go. and they don't move. I get claustrophobic easily in those situations.

also, when you are walking down the street, and there is a group of five or six friends, and they all walk in a line, taking up the entire sidewalk. and when you try to pass them, no one moves over, and lets you through.

re: The Weirdest Pet Peeve You Have?

Pippin, I hate that too. I also hate when there are people in two cars going opposite directions that will stop in the middle of the street to chat through their windows instead of pulling over and getting out to talk. This happened all the time in the small town I lived in and still happens quiet frequently in the residential streets where I live now.

Hank Azaria was just being interviewed on the View, and in talking about Huff, Blythe Danner was mentioned and one of the women (I wasn't looking and two of them were talking at the same time) had to chime in with "Gwyneth's mom!" I. HATE. THAT.
