Pet peeves

[aria]

and I have A LOT! Here’s a few to get it started, what are yours?

Smokers throwing their cigarettes out the window
-it’s so bad and disgusting that you don’t want it in your own car that you just stank up yet you inhale it in your body and then pollute the world with your cancer trash

Calling a 21 year old a kid
-yes, this happens in almost every thread here. A 21 year old is a man or a woman, not a kid!

When I hold the door open for people and they don’t say thank you

People who don’t rack their weights or wipe off their sweat from gym equipment

Driving slow in the left lane

Talking/texting on the phone while driving

from a janitors perspective:
people who don't lift the lid before they pee.
people who don't put their toilet paper in the toilet after use.
gum on the floor.
people who open the door by pushing on the glass instead of the handle.
snot boggers on the bath-room mirror.
coffee spills....like they were hansle and gredle leaving a trail.
people who walk across my floor WHILE I AM MOPPING!!!!!!

 

[Cowpolk]

Sober people
People that turn right out of the left lane
People that stop in the right turn only lane and wait for a green light and go straight
Cowboys Cheerleaders wearing cloths

 

[aria]

People at work who will fill up half their mug instead of topping it off so they leave just barely enough coffee in the pot to justify to themselves they don’t have to make more coffee thus shafting the next person

People at work who leave their coffee mug in the sink when there is an empty dishwasher within arms length

Not pulling over in the right lane for emergency vehicles

 

[cowboyec]

people who don't turn on their head-lights early in the morning or at night...either way...its still dark out...TURN ON YOUR DAMN HEAD-LIGHTS.

people carrying on a conversation on speaker phone in public places....its fine at home,in your office,but the bathroom!!!!.....I dont want to hear nor be apart of your conversation.

people who don't look you in the eye when talking to you....they stare at their damn phone screen or bounce their eyes...avoiding making eye contact.

sales calls...and especially after we just got the kids to bed.

people in a damn hurry....riding your bumper....jumpin lanes without signaling....just to make it to the red light before you.
congratulations....you made it....heres your ***-hat.

Lol, I know these are things that make us angry but I can’t help but laugh reading them even though I may be guilty of one or two

 

[YosemiteSam]

Other people.

Fat people.

Yeah, just people really. ....all of you. I hate you all.

The mailman walking on the exact same path through my yard every day even though I have a sidewalk. I don’t even care that he walks through my hyard but not one foot to the left, not one foot to the right but the EXACT same spot.

I think he does it to piss me off on purpose. After a couple years, he wore out the grass so much you could see a trail and I had to fill it in with dirt because it became a drainage issue. Jerk.

Dude. I think you're starting to sweat the small stuff. The guy is just in a routine on his daily rounds!

Lets pop a beer (or a glass of wine) and chill.

It’s just a pet peeve, I still like mail men and women

Hell of a coincidence though when he’s got a couple hundred feet to work with, haha.

Why haven't I seen you at the Church of the Holy Misanthrope?....Oh right, because I told everyone they're free to join my religion, just do it from your own friggin' house!

Plant little flags right in the middle of the path. He'll have to move to one side or the other.

I agree with just about everything posted so far.

People who think they can just rinse a water glass, without actually washing it.

People who insist on guiding me back in my truck, but don't know how to communicate, or walk behind me where I can't see them.

People who throw food in the kitchen trash to stink up the whole house.

Cops who do what they'd ticket anyone else for.

Line cutters.

Writing "should of", "could of", "would of", instead of "should have" or "should've", etc.

You place an online order, say, for business cards.

You are patient and can wait for the cards’ eventual delivery.

You choose standard delivery, which may be ten days later. Cool.

In only a couple of hours, you get an automated email from the publisher that says, “YOUR ORDER HAS BEEN SHIPPED!”

The email even includes an UPS tracking number. Fantastic.

So you wait until the next day to track the order. A weekday. Not a holiday.

You go to UPS.com, enter the tracking number, and what spits out?

Answer: UPS could not locate the shipment details for this tracking number.

Well golly gee wiz! How can this be? The publisher said, “YOUR ORDER HAS BEEN SHIPPED!”

Is it remotely possible that tiny little 500 card box of business cards is resting on the publisher’s loading dock, etc., WAITING for UPS to pick it up? If so, how is it possible that my order has been SHIPPED when the SHIPPER has not even picked up the itty bitty box to SHIP it???

Is it that hard for an auto-email to instead say, “YOUR ORDER IS READY FOR SHIPPING!” You know... until... the time that the shipper actually confirms they have what you ordered???

sigh

Lol, I actually did do that. I planted about 50 of ‘em after I put down the new dirt. At one point I also left a pile of branches I had just cut down right in the middle of the path for a week or so.

I wasn’t trying to be a jerk, just sending a little non verbal message. I don’t care about my yard that much but when it’s spring or summer and I have a good looking green yard with something that looks like the Chisolm Trail cutting through the middle of it and it can be prevented it becomes irksome.

Other than that he seemed like a good dude but he’s not my “regular” anymore and even though the new chick walks threw my yard she doesn’t do it at the exact same spot so it’s not an issue.

Huh, I’ve never paid much attention to the last one but now I will, thanks for that!

On a related note “couldn’t care less” vs “could care less” is a minor annoyance.

* Chewing with your mouth open or talking with food in your mouth. Both will invite a throat chop.
Add people who ask you a question and expect you to answer when you are chewing food.
* Overall sloppy mouth noises. (See Misophonia). I don't want to hear you kissing or any other pop, click etc...
* Traffic. Those who don't understand simple driving laws such as a 4 way stop. "Stop turners." People who come to an ****** stop before they turn. Driving slow in the fast lane and not moving over for faster traffic. People should also NOT be driving if you cannot at the very least do the speed limit. When you pass them, they suddenly wake up and drive faster. Holy hell, no one utilizes cruise control.
* When parents expect you to discipline their kids or pets.
* Talking during a movie.
*Whistling to a song louder than the music.
*Toilet manners.
* Not yielding to the loud siren and bright flashing red lights behind you until 3 miles later. Move over so I don't ram this 3,000 gallon tanker up your backside.
* Cross walks. There used to be a time in life when you needed to look out for your own safety. When you were taught to "look both ways" so you didn't get hit. If you did get hit, it was your fault for being stupid and not paying attention. Not anymore. Now you can walk through life with your head down staring at your phone with no responsibilities.
* I've seen SO MANY people texting & driving that it boggles my mind how these idiots have survived this long. It's literally one of the stupidest things a human can do.

 

[Londonboy]

The ridiculous number of collective nouns for Animals.
There are over 900!!!
The thing that really gets Me, is that the specialised noun for one specific Animal is essentially pointless, since it gets immediately followed by the Animal's Name.
For instance, You wouldn't say "On Safari, I saw a Congress", You'd say "On Safari, I saw a Congress of Baboons"
You could cut those 900+ down to about 20 and it would make no difference, except to make things a lot less complicated.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

People who just spit their gum on the ground. Don't they know someone will come along and step on it?
