People who use handicap parking placards when they're perfectly capable of walking. If you have a handicapped person in your family, that's fine; but if they're not in the car and you use the placard, you should get fined.

As a corollary, people who are too lazy to walk the 10 or 20 feet to put their shopping cart in a designated space. What REALLY torques me off is when someone empties their cart, and then puts it BEHIND someone else's car rather than put it away.

People that dog my *** on a two lane road when I'm doing 10 over, and then don't have the guts to pass when they have the opportunity to do so. I'm not gonna jump off the planet because you're in a hurry.

People who roll up to a drive-through at a fast food restaurant and decide they want their own "personal chef" to cook their meal exactly the way their mom would.

Another one:

People who always end a statement with "you know what I'm saying"! I can deal with it occasionaly, but ten times in a convo drives me insane.

What are your pet peeves? I mean something just drives you up the wall.

* I HATE WALMART because some of the shoppers. I cannot understand when going down an aisle that this one person with a shopping cart will stop and another shopper with a cart will stop almost right next to them and block everyone from getting around them and easy grabs now become Quantum Physics and it takes forever for them to get out of the way.

*Same thing about a parking spot a person ready to leave sees you waiting for their spot all of sudden should take 2 minutes to leave now has just become 2 hours. WHY???

* Parents with your small kids that you can't control. WHY DO YOU GO TO RESTAURANTS THAT ARE MORE FORMAL??? You have your place and everyone knows this and that is McDonalds. Why do you go to a Upscale Restaurant? Why must everyone be subjected to your whiny,crying,spoiled ,out of control kids??

*Why is it when in a public place most likely transportation that some moron thinks it is OK to use profanity in front of ladies,children,and elderly people. They sound so ignorant and low-class and they do not have a clue because they think they are the coolest person there.

*Going to the movies morons want to talk to the screen? Are you in need of attention because you are not funny but showing how much of horse's *** you are. You also most likely are the idiot who wants to be on their cell phone talking loud throughout the movie. Please can the Grim Reaper just take you away??


*The morons at the gas station blasting their music trying to look so cool. Hey moron you really want to impress the chicks at the gas station? Chicks love a guy who pumps gas while smoking a cigarette,they think you look so cool with the fumes all around you while taking a drag on a cigarette.

*I also don't know why this irks me but say you are at McDonald's and they are getting the persons food and even before they can put all the food on your tray you are already grabbing at the fries and other food and eating right there.....Same for grocery stores ,people haven't even paid for the food and they have their hands in the chips or have already broken out the soda.



OK that is some of mine,what are your pet peeves???
Pet Peeves.....it looks like you are building an ark

Relax bro

One thing I've noticed over the last few years is people in a work meeting or other semi formal group QnA, any question they're asked they'll begin almost every answer with the word , 'So'
'What do you think we should do about xyz?'
'So, my first suggestion...'
Bothers me, sounds arrogant

Stupid people.

People who tailgate, even when you are exceeding the posted speed limit.

Motorcyclists who don't obey the rules of traffic lanes and speed, just weaving in and out of traffic.

Arrows.....some traffic lights go straight to yellow blinking arrow and skip the green arrow. Long lights that go immediately to a red light instead of staying with the blinking yellow arrow, allowing cars to utilize the turn lane instead of having to wait for 5 minutes for the next green arrow.

Stores with only 2 open checkout lanes, even though both have several people in line. Nice customer service there.

Thieves and vandals. People work hard for what little they have. Then these sorry scumbags either steal it or damage it. It sucks. The worst is when they break in and steal away Christmas of innocent children, especially those from poorer families.

Gum chewers who chew like cows, smack or pop their gum, chew wirth their mouths open, and spit their gum on the ground instead of a trash can or even a bush.

Neighbors who let their pets poop in your yard and don't clean it up, then act all defensive when you get on them about it.

Siblings who borrow your stuff, don't return it for a long time, then profess that the item is theirs and always has been.

Getting into a show, only to have the network cancel it abruptly, without any closure.

When a restaurant decides to discontinue your favorite item, pretty much the only reason you even eat there.

When you have just one left, you are saving it for when you get home that night, thinking about and craving it all day. Then, when you get home, you find it has been consumed already. Such a feeling of emptiness, despair, frustration, and disappointment.

People who talk or play on their cell phones, in movie theatres, throughout the entire movie. Add parents who won't take crying babies out to the lobby.

Smokers, especially when they stand right next to the entrance and exit or upwind. I hate seeing children trapped in closed cars with smoking adults. I consider it child abuse. My parents were smokers and I hated it.

Road construction that lasts over a decade, when they could work more efficiently and finish so much sooner. Also, roads that are so bad and in need of major repair, but constantly overlooked. These roads are part of your everyday travel and unavoidable fir you to get where you need to go.

No Oldies station in San Antonio. There used to be a station that played the best of the 50s -70s.....but not anymore. Now they play 70s-90s. I want my golden oldies back.....some great timeless music.

For those living by strict financial means, just as you are getting your head above water, boom. Here comes another major setback. Your car dies, your foundation cracks, major pipe break, fire or tornado, you get seriously injured hurting your job and ability to pay bills. When you take two steps forward, but life pushes 4 steps back, and you constantly feel like you are drowning.

I hate when you go to a training or meeting and there is that 1 person holding it hostage with 1000 questions and discussing the history of their existence.

Well were do I start :)

I hardly get mad about daily matters,and the only issue i might have problem with is the absences of critical thinking.
people are easily manipulated like sheep.
I hate blind followers. I also hate when they can't think or do for themselves. Grown afults needing other adults to tell them how to work or act. No assemblage of common sense, basic intelligence, or work ethic.

People at Walmart or grocery store parking lots who will sit and wait for someone to finish unloading their stuff, get in the car, back out and leave. I am not a parking space hunter, you're about to go shopping and go up and down aisles and you're worried about walking a little extra.
I always try to park as far away from the store as possible. I hate when I do that, I am all alone, with no cars around me and tons of available spots all over, only to come back and have one or two cars parked right next to me. Why not leaveca space in between at least, or park in one of the hundred other spors closer to the store.

12 Items or Less means 12 Items or Less. Yes, you may be in a hurry. Perhaps you have an important appointment that you must meet? I understand. That does not exempt you from overstuffing a shopping cart and head for the express lane because you are afraid of being late. Other customers have lives too and guess what? We can count.

It sounds like a cliché but my money does supplement your paycheck. It is not unreasonable expecting you to act like you care about your job if I am buying something in your store, restaurant, etc. However, you have every right to feel happy. Your job makes you feel and act like a female dog? I understand. Quit. Problem solved.

Roads and highways are thoroughfares for travelers. That's travelers plural. You are right. There are speed limits. What? You say that I should obey speed limits? You are so right but guess what? Law enforcement will penalize me if I break speed limits. Can you show me your badge? Oh no. You do not have one, do you? Too bad. Now stop driving in the passing lane like it belongs to just little ole you and let other travelers pass you. Yes, I understand. You do not like anyone passing you. Get the flip out of the way.

I like the drive thru. I like it because I know what I want to order already and it is not that many items. What? You like the drive thru too? Well gag me with a spoon! That is surprising since you appear to be ordering for Eight Is Enough, The Brady Bunch and the Duggars right now. How many times will the person taking your order repeatedly say 'Does that complete your order' before you finally say YES! You have two perfectly functional legs but they become paralyzed each and every time you are confronted with the words Drive Thru. I understand. Next time, pull up to the establishment, park your vehicle, walk inside, and piss off everyone standing behind you listening as you order for Nicholas, Mary, Elizabeth, Nancy, David, Tommy, Bobby, Jan, Mike, Greg, Carol, Cindy, Marcia, Marcia, Marcia...

I understand. You are human. You must breath or you will die from lack of oxygen. That is not debatable. May I make a suggestion? How about a Tic Tac? Breathsavers? Scope? Milk Bone? Yes. That was rude of me. Sorry. How about breathing in THAT direction instead. Cool.
12 items or less, I argue about this. If I get 5 of the same item, I technically only got one item.

I know exactly what you mean. You are the only one, way out there, thinking you're safe from car door dings in your sides, and you come out after shopping to find you got two big monster trucks on both sides of you, one of them hauling a boat. And still no cars within 15 spaces of yall all around. LOL. They could have literally parked anywhere out there, but no, they had to park right next to you! Ugghh!o_O
:angry::huh::facepalm:

Some of you have mentioned driving pet peeves. And I agree with all of you! Here's another one. When someone actually has the nerve to pass you in a school zone, right by the school!! It's like what the f?? Are these people crazy?? I actually had a lady pass me in the school zone right beside the school, racing to get to the same school I was driving to, to pick my kid up, just because she wanted a place closer in line. She must have drank too much coffee or energy drinks that day, because school didn't even get out for another ten minutes, and I ended up right behind her in line, anyway. We were like the number 4 and 5 cars. I sure hope she felt like the dumba** she looked like! Ugghh!:mad:

That's actually happened to me twice in this tiny, sleepy little town I live in, with about 2000 residents, where cops swarm during school zone times, because they are so bored. lol. But neither time it happened were there any cops around. Go figure!
:huh::angry:

I am not even going to even address my driving peeves, not enough time to type two pages :laugh:

Lets just say that I don't carry my gun in my car for a reason because I would be in prison by now :thumbdown:

I am a very calm, relaxed person until I get behind the wheel :(
