Just curious what really ticks people off...

pet peeves. Things that just rile you to no end!!

For me, #1 pet peeve is for me waiting in line to pay for something, then somebody behind me getting served before me...but that also is the same thing as if I am sitting at a bar waiting to be served, waiting waiting...and some other guy that came in well after me walks right up and gets served right away...and I'm still waiting.

I do have more but wanted to start this thread....post away
 
When people say "Dank you" instead of the proper "Thank you". Quit being lazy, freaking enunciate the "TH"!!

People who own and use Bluetooth headsets annoy me too. You're ringing them up, and you keep looking up because you think they are talking to you, but are in a conversation on the phone, hands-free. It's annoying as all get out.

Chicks who wear wigs. "I spent 300 dollars on my weave!" It's not your real hair, you're not confusing anyone.

Old people drivers.

When Popeye's runs out of chicken.
 
people that cant drive, particularly people that slow down to less than 5 miles an hour to make the turn or when they slow wayyyy down way too early. also people that dont know when its their turn at a 3 or 4 way stop.

oh and total ignorance like for example people that say romo is a bad QB.

people who dont tip, if you cant afford to tip you cant afford to go out to eat.

incompetent bosses(or co worker or people in general).

people that treat other people with disrespect because they perceive themselves to be better than other people: example this guy

-- When a waiter or server at a restaurant 1) lets my water glass get empty, and 2) takes my glass away to go fill it up. Just bring me a freakin' pitcher.

-- Standing in line at a convenience store and the idiot in front of me decides, at the last second, to buy some lottery tickets. But he or she isn't sure which ones to buy (their all so colorful and pretty), and they begin to ponder this dilemma the only way a 75-IQ person can ... very slowly.

-- Don't ever put food in front of me and then take it away for any reason. My lovely wife has learned this. "It's warm enough ... just step away."

-- Slow movers at the grocery store, and people who can manage to park their shopping cart at such a perfect angle at a junction of two aisles that they can block the most amount of people from getting by.

-- People who listen to the TV too loud. I spend a lot of time at home either turning the TVs down or telling the kids to do it.

-- When drunk guys put their hands on me.

-- Barking dogs.
 
Losers using their car as a mobile office, ignoring what they should be paying attention to.

True story: I'm watching some richard drift along in the left lane monkeying with papers on his passenger seat with a cell phone - not headset - wedged between his ear and shoulder.

An unmarked police car comes up and rides his *** for quite some time and he still doesn't get it. I'm (carefully) watching all this, thinking 'at least fool this is going to get pulled over'.

The unmarked police car passes him on the right and goes on his way, leaving this *** in the left lane driving like this.

My tax dollars hard at work!
 
Not being able to get directly to the movie menu when I put a dvd in. They make you watch ads, FBI warnings and previews.
I bought the damn movie, I DECIDE WHAT I"M GOING TO WATCH ON IT !!!
This is the single biggest reason I now download torrents instead of buying movies.

People who go through green lights in intersections even though they can't make it all the way through the light because of other traffic, so that when it turns green on my direction, I can't go anywhere. If there is such a thing as justifiable homicide, this would be it.

You must HATE Jerry Jones' press conferences :laugh2:

One of my biggest is when my wife would start responding to what I am saying before I can finish. She's learned to stop that.

I hate going through a drive thru, placing my order and telling them that is all and they ask if I'd like a drink or something else. If I wanted a drink I'd have ordered it.

I hate it when I go shopping and someone stops in front of the one item I need and just stays there looking at something like they have never been in a store before....just move already.

My biggest is when I am eating lunch in my office with the door shut and my coworkers knock on the door to ask me about nothing. I never take breaks during the day so when I'm eating my lunch leave me alone. It can wait 30 mins. :mad:

Oh, man, that's a good one.

I got the point where I don't eat lunch at work anymore. I sometimes sit in my vehicle in the parking lot and eat there, and listen to sports talk radio. 30 minutes of peace.

Those are two of my big ones, especially the intersection one, it's my single biggest driving pet peeve, and to go along with it... when you're the car and you know there isn't enough room to go all the way through, so you stop at the white line and the dorks behind you begin honking, despite that big "do not block intersection" sign hanging there.



A couple of mine...

1. People who don't understand just because they love talking on the phone for endless hours it doesn't mean everybody does. I don't want to sit/stand around holding my cell phone (screw those wireless headsets) talking when there is something I could be doing..... tell me what you called to tell me, then end the conversation. Namely when it's somebody you see on a regular basis.

2. People who text each other when they are in the same room, or the people who sit right next to each other and decide to start playing the 10 year old songs from their cell phone back and forth to each other, like the other person had never heard the song before... on a better audio device.

3. To end my trifecta of phone annoyances, the people with those blue tooth headsets who for some reason think they have to talk at amplified levels, and do it within 2 feet of you. Even worse, when they stand right next to you (and you have no idea they have one of those stupid things on), start talking, then when you say "excuse me" or "what" they give you some crazy look like your the idiot and point at their fat ear.
 
I could very easily commit an assault over shopping carts in a parking lot.

When some lazy *** simpleton can't put the cart in a cart corral or back to the store infuriates me.

Like it's up to he rest of us to have to slalom through the lanes and dodge your ineptness to avoid damaging our car.

My wife says it's the one thing I am neurotic about and finds it funny when I go off about it.

I'm kidding, that 2010 Olympics thread is in my head right now!
 
-People have already mentioned poor service at restaurants but I would expand it to all types of customer service. Unorganized, poorly managed, rude and inefficient customer service in general. Nothing drives me away faster from businesses than poor service.

-People who can't say 'I don't know' when they don't know something, instead they would rather talk out of their *****. It is especially extremely frustrating when you are responsible for teaching someone about something. You have to first admit that you don't know in order to be receptive to learning.

-People who generalize and/or assume way too much.

-People who like to pigeonhole everything and everyone, often in only one or two categories when its not appropriate.

-People who like to talk-over other people when they haven't finished expressing their thoughts.

-People who don't take responsibility for their own action and are always looking to blame everyone else.

-Rude and inconsiderate people.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some other stuff but this is what came to my mind initially.
 
Stupid drivers

There's a intersection where know at least 4-5 cars are going to run the light turning in front of you every single time. So what makes your time more important than mine? I try not to ever run lights where it makes other people wait.
