Pet Peeves

[earllogjam]

Recorded telemarketing commercials or political messages.

Same as above on your cell phone line.

"Floor is Wet" signs on dry floors

Leaving a 1/8 cup of milk in the carton and putting it back into the fridge.

 

[D_golden parachute]

Call centres, especially when they can barely speak english

Ppl hu type lke dis

Stongly religious people

 

[Make'nItLong]

Mini van drivers.

Slow drivers who drive in the fast lane.

People that speed up AFTER you pass them.


Most of my pet peeves have to do with driving, I guess

when I'm taking a shower and the curtian liner keeps blowing inward and trying to stick to me. It is so uncontrollably gross.

When you are waiting in line, and someone just walks up to the front with a question or something expecting the cashier to help, while they are clearly ringing out customers.

When people stare when I am with a client. It is like they can't believe the disabled walk amongst them. Better yet, that I can understand what they are saying and have a discussion. I want to bash their noses in.

People who make decisions about other peoples lives, of which have no effect on them (read: gay marriage, abortion etc)

 

[lemont77]

When the tag sticks out of the back of someone's shirt.

Eye boogers.

 

[IntoxicatingToxin]

People who don't use their signals when changing lanes.
People who go 12mph on the entrance ramp to a highway/interstate.
People who interrupt me while I'm speaking.

When the tag sticks out of the back of someone's shirt.

Eye boogers.

oh manI forgot eye boogers! How could I (or should it be how could eye)!! The worst is the eye boogers on my dog. Dog ones are black and sorta like rubber cement.

You ain't lyin, darlin! I HATE eye boogers, especially on my dog! I drive him crazy getting them out.

Also..and this is gross...and unpopped zit. Go find a mirror and POP THAT SON OF A BITCH! IT'S LOOKING AT ME!

 

[Mr Ed in Mass]

I too see improper punctuation and spelling ( I'm guilty sometimes ) here in the discussions. Usually, I chalk it up to people typing too fast. Also, I read my post before I hit "submit".

My pet peeves:

1. People who don't walk on the right side, whether on the sidewalk, in a store, or where ever they may be walking.
2. No turn signals.


Sorry,next time I'm walking near you,I'll use my turn signals

 

[rob_just_rob]

People who say "honest" when they mean "candid".
People who say "theory" when they mean "hypothesis".

 

[earllogjam]

Muppet characters who don't talk. :tongue:

Shopping at Costco on an empty stomach.

Waking up in a hotel room at 5AM to an alarm set by the previous guests.

 

[whatireallywant]

People who talk on their cell phones while driving

Gender stereotyping

Racism

Religious fanatics (religious people I don't mind, but the ones who shove it down your throat and try to tell you how to live your life, that's another story!)

Young children at that "scream at the top of their lungs" stage in life

Bad teeth, B.O., etc.

(Not necessarily in that order - in fact, the cell phone one is probably at the bottom of that list but it's still on the list)

 

[SpoiledPrincess]

Liars.
Political correctness being used as a tool to try to deny you the freedom of personal choice.
Terrible spelling.
People who raise their kids with no manners.
Courgettes.
Putting the toilet roll on the wrong way - it goes over not under.
Hard thin towels.
People who forget to put towels in the bathroom so when you go to their place you have to wander around with wet hands screaming 'where are your towels.'
A pubic hair in the wash basin.

 

[Full_Phil]

---Hard thin towels---

Spot on!

 

[Ethyl]

People with no compassion. Unless the other person's being a complete fuckwit, it takes less energy to be kind than nasty.

People who think intelligence is more important than compassion, common sense or altruism, all of which we are lacking today. The world is full of intelligent people. Most bloodthirsty dictators are/were intelligent (our own village idiot W is excluded of course).

 

[B_big dirigible]

The world is full of intelligent people.

It is?

 

[prince_will]

lol...lemme see.

arrogance
ignorance
insensitivity
nasty (in the cleaning sense) people
bitchy people (well no. somethimes they're funny)

 

[Ethyl]

It is?

Yes. You can be intelligent and lack the ability to make good decisions. I see it all the time.

 

[dong20]

Liars.

I don't believe you.

I can't recall if I've posted this already but I hate those "Press 1 for instant death" phone systems....

 

[prince_will]

Yes. You can be intelligent and lack the ability to make good decisions. I see it all the time.

oh yes. That is soooo me. I'm slightly intelligent, but sometimes, i do and say the stupidest things, and make bad decisions. It's like i have no common sense.
