People who shuck their corn in the grocery store and then throw the husks on the floor.

Why did I just read this as "People who stick their dick in the corn in the grocery store....?"

I need some sleep. Or some sex. Probably both.

One of my pet peeves is people who constantly have some sort of conspiracy theory figured out for every little thing. Sometimes things really are just what they appear on the surface.

2. Don't talk with food in your mouth. Swallow it and then resume your conversation. Don't talk on the phone while eating - extremely bad manners especially in business situations.
Fuck, I forgot this one, my mom does it and I have to leave the room when whe does it I can't stand the sight, sound, or idea that the other person can hear her chewing. Damn white trash up bringing. You can take her from the trailer park but you can't take the trailer park out of the women.

people who can't be bothered to rotate their photos from their digicams when they show them to me or email them to me.

(sorry frizzle, your avatar reminded me of that)

People who say "That's right" when your talking to them but aren't actually listening to you.... (can you tell I work with the public...)

Or elderly people who stand in doorways of shops trying to acclimatise, but don't think that anyone else is trying to get round their stinking carcasses....

Hmm, perhaps I should read the bad service thread again!

Stupid-ass pedestrians who don't look before crossing a bike path. I swear, if I wasn't worried of damaging my bike, I'd run each and everyone of those bastards over.

Pedestrians: the other white meat.

Inconsiderate drivers trying to be considerate by waving you into their lane oblivious to the people passing them on their right. Hello moron! I move and get rammed by someone passing you it's MY fault.

I also think there should be a special level of Hell for people who don't drop their hi-beams no matter how many time I flash them to do so.

My biggest peeve though is the state of movie theaters around here. People talking on cell phones, chatting away with their friends, and I've even seen some kid getting a bj from his gf right behind me AND, one couple who couldn't be bothered to take their baby into the restroom and so proceeded to change their baby's diaper ON THE FLOOR OF THE AISLE! This, combined with sticky floors, dim projector bulbs, misframing, misfocusing, revolting bathrooms, parking lot hooligans, and mischanneling of the sound (going into a DTS or Dolby certified theater only to get the film in stereo or even mono) have made me swear-off movie theaters in my area. They are all universally bad. I haven't been to the movies in two years.

People in supermarkets that have a shopping cart full of good and use the Express checkout. If the clerk says anything to them, they always exclaim that they had no idea they were in an Express checkout.
Then they write a check and have to ask for a pen,then date and what store is this----oh forget it i'll just void that one and write another so on and so on

Residue on containers. Dried crusty on shampoo bottles, shaving cream cans, toothpaste tubes, etc. I have a special toothbrush in the shower to take care of these issues.

i was in the supermarket tonight and thought of some more.

there was a guy in the baking aisle, young crunchy hippie type, and he had a cold. well he was using this green hanky to blow his nose and then would put it back in his pocket. all i could think of was how covered in snot that thing must be and the fact that after he put it in his pocket he was handling the flour and sugar i was planning on buying. conservation is great, but get your snot off of my groceries.

in my state we have blue laws such that you can only buy alcohol, including beer and wine, in liquor stores whose hours are determined by the state. it's only been recently that they were permitted to be open on sundays. this is such a giant pain in the ass-- tonight i had to drive to a neighboring state to buy a bottle of $5 wine because i couldn't just buy it at the grocery store.

also, my mother in law. her existence has to be one of my top pet peeves.

People who copy the personality of a celebrity and claim it as their own. This does not include comedy or singing impersonators, some are actually better than the real star.

Good point.

So another of my pet peeves: Blue laws that are intended to limit drinking but instead simply result in more drivers (some of them potentially inebriated) on the roads.

I'm betting you live alone. :biggrin1:

I don't mind loud music, but when your low end actually shakes shit you need to be shot. Someone just drove by the bar, BOOM BOOM BOOM... and I ran to find this thread.
Grrr, that is one of mine as well. It's usually some teenager in a Honda Civic, Nissan Sentra or a Mustang with a sound system and rims that cost more than the car itself.:mad:

Pedestrians: the other white meat.
Now thats funny! :biggrin1:

Why did I just read this as "People who stick their dick in the corn in the grocery store....?" Is that what is meant by cornholing?:tongue:

I need some sleep. Or some sex. Probably both. Ditto. :redface:

That would be my cousin Greg he has a conspiracy theory for everything. :mad:

Another one is call waiting. When I call someone and they say "hold on a sec, I have another call". I just hang up. Then they call me back and say "What did you hang up for?"


Arrrgh! Yes, like I want to waste my cellphone battery, minutes, or just my time on that. :mad:

No caller is more important than the one I'm talking to at the time, but if it's someone I...well, you know....then I'll say, "I'll call you back!:eek:"

:redface:

Yesterday i bought a mohair and wool throw blanket made by the Hudson`s Bay Company in Scotland, it`s very nice and has the most vibrant colors i`ve ever seen in a blanket.
It should actually be made in England.
Hbc Heritage - FAQ

...Oh, and scottish blokes who don' go commando under their kilts ;)
ANYONE who doesn't, bugs me. :wink:


My number one peeve, well, at least on here, is people who don't use "search" functions. With general threads, I understand, but with the celeb threads, there's little excuse. What drives me even more crazy than that, is when people ask, "Who/what is...?" before at least TRYING Google.
