The Weirdest Pet Peeve You Have?- Page 2

the view is another pet peeve of mine.

People who suddenly just stop walking i.e. at the mall or on the sidewalk. These people irritate me no end - instead of standing to the side, they stop in the middle, and it's up to you to go around them. Sometimes you accidently run into them when they do stop suddenly...and they give YOU a dirty look when it's their fault. Move to the side, people, so you won't get mowed down. :)

Just a few....

People who wear flip flops with long pants. Make up your mind, people...are you ready for the beach or for work?

People who "one up" you when you are telling a story. You know the type...the "Oh, you think YOU had a hard time of it..." people.

Children of 3 and 4 years of age walking around with a pacifer in their mouth...and the parents who claim it's the children's fault, because they have an "oral fixation".

When people don't finish their words. It's bad enough when someone says something like "you wanna come with" but recently my mom's started saying things like delic (instead of delicious) and cafe instead of cafeteria. Would it kill you to breath out two more syllabals!?!?

It'sOnlyAPlay, I have the same problem too. It's bad enough when your in Boston, rushing to class each morning, with tons of people, and some idiot just decides to stop or walks like molasses.

More Pet Peeves:

- I always want an aisle seat.
- Leaving the toilet seat up...I always put it down.

I know I have more but I can't think of them.

Elaborating on the people stoping in front of you...

Being a tourist is fine but don't be a "sight see'er" down town. For 35 cents you can buy a post card of that building that will be better than the picture you take with you 10 dollar kadak disposible. So go to one of a thousand crap souvonier shops and get out of my way.

I can't stand when celebrities say things like "I go to the grocery store just like a regular person". F*ck you, you are a regular person, just a recognizeable one. To imply otherwise implies some sort of godliness that I find REALLY disturbing.

How the people in my acting class think that "Rent 2, Return of the RENT" is the funniest thing ever. They're convinced that a RENT video game should be made.

AND

When people try to explain how sick they are when they just have a stupid cold, they purposely cough and sniffle. Pisses me off.

I hate when I'm driving on a single lane road and someone comes onto the road in front of me and DRIVES SLOWER THAN I WAS GOING, causing me to slow down -- it's even worse if there's plenty of room BEHIND me to cut in. If you KNOW you're a slow driver A)don't go in front of someone when you don't have to, B)NEVER make someone SLOW DOWN so you can get onto the road!!!

I also hate the expression "same difference." It's stupid, and needs to be stopped.

I despise when people that say "I could care less!" regarding a situation. The phrase is "I couldn't care less"! It's the only way it makes sense.

Similarly, I hate when someone is asked "Would you mind if I [insert action here]" and they respond, "Oh yeah, sure!"

Really? You mind? Ok, then I won't do it.

Here's a good one:

People who threaten suicide for attention.

justme2, I was not weaned (breast-feeding) until I was five. Strange how now I wouldn't put that thing in my mouth.

One major pet peeve of mine is tardiness. I hate it even more when people don't bother to call to inform you that they'll be late. They just leave you waiting... and wondering.

people on cellphones while they are driving.....

and Americans who travel to Europe, and act like ugly Americans.......they really piss me off, and I will call them on it in a second.

I can't stand when people take their shoes off in public. I will be in resturant or a library, or any other public place I will see people with their shoes (typically flip flops) off and their feet all over the chairs and benches and such.

EWW Kel, or worse...ON AIRPLANES........I hate that. And I won't even tell you what else comes off of some eastern-Europeans on the Vienna-NYC flight on Austrian Air....very, very scary.....

Broadway_Baby- I COMPLETELY agree. That annoys me so much.

Also, I know do this sometimes (especially when I'm in a hurry or something), but we people consistantly use the wrong forms of words. You know.. the really common:

Their vs. They're or There
Your vs. You're
Its vs. It's

PLEASE just learn when that little apostrophe stands for so you can learn to use the correct word!!!

Also, on a completely different note, I hate that tear (as in tearing some paper) and tear (as in crying) are spelled the same, and polish (as in like.. wood polish.. or something?) and Polish (as in things from Poland) are spelled the same. Haha I know it's just the English language but it just sort of bugs me.

Elphie, you have piqued my curiosity now, PM me about that please.

I also can't stand when parents let their children misbehave. On my flight from Chicago to London I had two children pick up and then slam down the airphone (which was located in the back of my seat)non-stop. They were also kicked my seat as hard as they could. I tried to ignore it, try the passive agressive annoyed looks and such, and finally I turned around and asked their parents why they were having such a hard time keeping their children under control. The parents acted as though I were the most horrible person on earth, but I didn't care. 5 hours of kicking, hitting, slamming, etc... on the back of my seat was enough.

Ick, ick, Kel and Elphaba. You've reminded me of this man at my niece's birthday party years ago who took off his shoes, sat on my sister's couch and picked his feet before going to handle all the food that was laid out. Let's just say I did not eat anything at that party.

I HATE it when people are in my car...and I have a musical in and they TRY to sing along even though they've NEVER heard it before in their life...

I'm all for sing alongs...WHEN YOU KNOW THE WORDS.

I hate when a mechanic feels the need to smoke in your car while they are working on it. That happened to me a few months ago and it triggered an asthma attack while I was driving down the road.

Cab drivers on cell phones I'm paying you to drive pay attention to the road.

People who show major PDA in the middle of the hallway and I can't get to my classes on time because they're in the way

People who feel the need to go 35 MPH in a 55MPH speed zone!!!!

Ew. EW! EW!

Calvin, that made me have to wash my own hands, and I have my shoes on.

I hate when someone gets ON the elevator while talking on their cell phone, then spends the whole ride trying to get OFF the phone, shouting "I'll call you back later, I'm on the elevator!" Just get off the freaking phone BEFORE you get in there!

Also, I really can't stand it when someone calls a shopping cart a "buggy."

People who are "sick" constantly and miss school. If you're really sick or have a medical problem, that's one thing. I have a friend who seems to go home everyday from school. It pisses me off that she takes advantage of her being able to, and then gets mad when I don't believe that she is "sick". I can't go home. Some of us don't have stay at home mothers and can't stay home even when we are sick. She gets "hurt" when she does anything, and it's very frustrating. Some people need to just suck it up and stop vying for attention.
