The Pet Peeve Thread

[Steph]

I have more than one but thought maybe a thread to :rant: would help my blood pressure.

Pet Peeve of the day: When I step in dog drool/water spillover near his water bowl and curse under my breath and continue on my way. Inevitably, I forget about it and step in it again!!! :trout:

What's your pet peeve of the day? hour? moment?

[wyndhy]

so...pet peeve....sorta a double meaning for you. huh? :D

[IAKaraokeGirl]

OMG, ROFLMAO ^^^^^! :grin:

[LixyChick]

If we're sticking to the double meaning connotation...

When I wake in the morning and it's still dark and I get out of bed and take one step and slide through his puke which he left as a prize for me right on the carpet, directly at the edge of the hardwood floors!

Cats hate puking on something that can be cleaned up easily!

Mother *&$#ing Cat!

[Steph]

so...pet peeve....sorta a double meaning for you. huh? :D

ROFLMAO Between this and the French thread started by PixieSprite, you have me in stitches today, wyndhy.

I have no pride. I will tell you that I just stepped in the "puddle" THREE more times -- TWICE when I was preparing the kitchen for mopping. <sigh>

Another pet peeve -- people who honk their horns for several minutes. What's so important? Is someone supposed to be getting a ride from you? Why don't you knock on the door, jerkass? Is it someone not following the rules of traffic? Well, asshat, the first minute of honking didn't solve the problem. Why continue?

[LixyChick]

So we're not sticking to the double meaning, eh?

I've said it before...and I want all Pixie cashiers to spread the word...

I am NOT leaving the store any faster because you shoved my change (bills and coins) and my receipt in one hand all in one fell swoop! I AM taking the time to sort the bills from the coins and placing them in their proper parts of my wallet and then I am taking the receipt and putting it in the bag...where YOU should have put it in the first place (unless otherwise asked to hand it to me).

I hate it with a purple passion when they do that...and I know they think they are getting me out of there faster, but it actually takes longer if they don't hand me the coins and let me put them away...then hand me the bills and let me put them away while they are putting the receipt in the bag.

Could you all spread the word for me?

[Lilith]

When cashiers put my receipt in the bag.

[LixyChick]

LOL! ^^^

It's a vicious circle, eh?

[Steph]

LOL It happened to me yesterday and I thought of you (actually, I knew there was a Pixie who hated this but couldn't remember which one it was.).

I don't really care where the receipt goes. I wish they'd ask if you want it to save me the trouble of recycling it. It's not like I'm going to return the dog food!

[PantyFanatic]

...What's your pet peeve of the day? hour? moment?
STEPH! :halo:












:D

[Steph]

STEPH! :halo:






Fine! No PANTIES for you!!!











Nah, I'm nice. I'm heading to the post office now, asshat. :lickme:

[WildIrish]

People that think pressing the button makes the elevator come faster.



It's a call button, ya dumbass, not a clitoris! :mad:


Oh shit...I did NOT just say that! :yikes:

[Lilith]

The dumb ass Fanta commercials before movies.

[Aqua]

How about ANY commercials before movies. :rolleyes2

Movie previews = OK
Commercials = Fucking Irritating

[Irish]

Everyone complains about their pet,but take it from me,when their gone,
you'll wish that you had something to step in!My dog has been dead for
almost a year&1/2.We had him for 11 1/2 yrs & both still miss him!
P.S.Black Lab & a bit of Rotty.110lbs when he was light!Very protective but
not aggressive. Irish

[PantyFanatic]

Nah, I'm nice. I'm heading to the post office now, asshat.
Why do I think any package that WOULD come from there will be ticking? :confused:




:wobble:

[Aqua]

I can't believe ^^^ hasn't made any mention of the Shout Box.

[Steph]

Why do I think any package that WOULD come from there will be ticking? :confused:

Dude, if there was ticking in that envelope, that's an STD I haven't been tested for!
:yikes:

And Irish, I hear you! Notice I wasn't complaining about the dog but the fact that I was an idiot and kept walking in the water and kept forgetting to MOP IT UP! :D

My dog is perfect. Always has been, always will be. :)

He's been alive 13 years and has never been in a bad mood! (And men wonder why I love my dog more than anything else in the world!)

[sodaklostsoul]

The walk signal will not turn any faster if you keep pressing it either.

[WildIrish]

(And men wonder why I love my dog more than anything else in the world!)


That and the fact that his tongue is the size of a sheet of plywood.



Oops, did I say that out loud? :D

[Mercury_Maniac]

slow swerving drivers......in buicks....

[Booger]

I had a pet peeve but it ran away

[maddy]

salespeople... of all varieties... but mostly realtors!

[Steph]

That and the fact that his tongue is the size of a sheet of plywood.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww! :trout:

[WildIrish]

Getting hit with a fish :D

[Belial]

Apostrophe abuse, repeated mispronunciation ("forward slosh"?!?), "reality" TV with little variance in personalities.

These are a few of my least favourite things.

[wyndhy]

I had a pet peeve but it ran away
:rofl:

[lonelyarmywife]

I hate the morons who change lanes on the interstate without fucking signaling, then glare at you when they almost hit your bumper like it's your fault that THEY don't know how to drive! Get a clue, people! :bang:

[txgrneyes]

Oh my I can finally say it to more than the people I am close to.

CELL PHONES!!!!!!!

I dont mind them when you have an emergency or somthing to that fact but I do mind when your in a car driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. Has any one heard of "hands-free" talking gadgits. Yes you might look like an idoit talking to no one but hey at least you can talk and drive (somewhat) a bit better.

In the job I have I talk to poeple all the time on cell phones. They dont know where they are half the time when they need my help. They dont know how to not run into other people with reporting something else.

Example: A lady was driving down the main street in town and wanted to report an accident. While trying to get the infomation of where it was I hear a loud "crash". I ask are you alright? Yes, she said I just ran into the person in front of me.

My advice:

Pull over to the side of the road and talk.


Also, when poeple are sitting a table in a restraunt full of friends. the Cell phone rings. They answer it and talk to that person and ignore the other friends they are out to eat with.


Maybe it is just me.



I JUST HATE CELL PHONES!!!!!!

I was just talking to someone,who went to a movie theater & they said that all during the movie,someone in the row behind them,was carrying on a conversation,with someone else!They said-"What in hell,did I pay to hear the movie for?" Irish :rant:

[FallenAngel5]

OK, this took me a long time to come up with, but I have a list of several.

1. People who, when typing/writing, change the contractions should've, could've, et cetera to should OF, could OF, et cetera, rather than the actual should have, could have. UGH!

2. General misuse of grammar. Especially the use of they're/their/there and who's versus whose.

3. Cell phone while driving. Cell phones in restaurants. Cell phones in class.

4. People who insist on blasting the bass so loud in their car that it shakes your fucking house. Why is this acceptable?

[Steph]

I agree with you both. I hate being on the streetcar or bus (thankfully they don't work in the subway) and forced to listen to the most inane conversations. "I'm at Queen and Brock now. I just finished eating pizza." That was a fascinating conversation I overheard the other day.

I was trying to enjoy a peaceful lunch not too long ago and two women were debating the menu. Finally one said, "I know! I'll call Stephanie [definitely not me, I would have hung up on her] and ask her what to order."

:confused:

[Lilith]

Waitpersons who drop a slice of lemon in my water...goes in dirty comes out clean. If I wanted lemonade I'd have ordered it.

this one applies to me.....i'm sorry i like it loud

[PantyFanatic]

"Waitpersons"?
omfg :rofl:

[Lilith]

"Waitpersons"?
omfg :rofl:
I live in a college town... I would say waiters outweigh waitresses 3-1

[BIBI]

That riles me too....I don't even like lemonade.

4. People who insist on blasting the bass so loud in their car that it shakes your fucking house. Why is this acceptable?

FallenAngel5,

Yes'm. It is a bit of a bother, isn't it? Sometimes, when they're behind me, I can watch the reflection of their car shimmer in time to the bass beats of their music. About the only contentment I can get from the situation is the knowledge that the driver behind me is in the process of damaging his (or anymore, her) hearing.

[Cheyanne]

My pet peeve.

Those who don't respect other's opinions because those opinions differ from their own. I am tired of having to zip my lip or ignore the elephant or donkey in the room because it may offend someone...or get me an ass chewing.

Double Amen to that! Although I am not very good about keeping my opinion to myself regardless of what the majority thinks of it.

And also...

My dear darling jseal,
I am the one behind you in the car damaging my hearing :wingang:
I am truly offended that you don't appreciate my superior taste in music.
Yours Truly,

LAW

*not offended, just being sarcastic* :x:

[jseal]

Huh?

I can't hear yah!

Speak up please!

:)

[FallenAngel5]

this one applies to me.....i'm sorry i like it loud


I like my music in the car loud too - so I can't hear myself sing, lol - but I like my MUSIC loud, not just the bass, which becomes so loud you can't hear the rest of the song. Don't get me wrong, I love to see people in the car jammin to good music. :)

[Galatea]

Everyone complains about their pet,but take it from me,when their gone,
you'll wish that you had something to step in!My dog has been dead for

I have a dog you can have then! Then you can have something to complain about again. Seriously though, he's a good dog. Its the other one that won't stop pissing on my dirty clothes!

[Mae]

A "Pet" Peeve...

Mowing the lawn. Distracted by dog #3, only to find out, too late, that dog #1 has just pooped in front of the mower, I've run over it and it spit out the back. Thank God I wasn't wearing shorts! :yikes:

[waltaja]

maybe not a pet peeve, but an annoyance none the less...

certain people's mother's who don't see the good in letting their daughter fly out to meet a nice, wonderful, charming drunken guy like myself.

[Steph]

~people who cut in front of you when you're walking and they then slow to a crawl. Can't they see I'm practically a speed walker?

[Mercury_Maniac]

I like my music in the car loud too - so I can't hear myself sing, lol - but I like my MUSIC loud, not just the bass, which becomes so loud you can't hear the rest of the song. Don't get me wrong, I love to see people in the car jammin to good music. :)



:D well if your in my car then you can hear the words and treble and stuff.



but on the outside mostly bass......but bass can be heard the farthest away.


and as far as my ears being damaged......i've had so many infections i don't think it matters anymore.

[sodaklostsoul]

maybe not a pet peeve, but an annoyance none the less...

Can't she just tell mommy she is going to visit the ocean and you are the tour guide? :D

[waltaja]

i get the impression her mother wouldn't be terribly receptive to that. but i'm running out of ideas...it's worth a shot!

[cherrypie7788]

^^^ Anything is worth a shot at this point! lol

[Steph]

What mom doesn't know can't hurt her! Couldn't you say you were going to Bible Camp or something? :halo:

[cherrypie7788]

Not when she's financing the trip :(




lol

[wyndhy]

i'm not there yet but i suspect that in about 10 years one of my pet peeves will be....when my kids tell me they are going one place and actually go somewhere else ;)

[Lilith]

lmfao

[flutelady]

i'm not there yet but i suspect that in about 10 years one of my pet peeves will be....when my kids tell me they are going one place and actually go somewhere else ;)


LMAO... that's what I thought too... little did I know that I'd be the one doing it to them! (J/K... sorta ;) )

Cherrypie, if Mohammed can't come to the mountain, can the mountain come to Mohammed?

[cherrypie7788]

i'm not there yet but i suspect that in about 10 years one of my pet peeves will be....when my kids tell me they are going one place and actually go somewhere else ;)


LOL

I don't even LIVE with my mom and I have to lie about my whearabouts.

[wyndhy]

(((hugs)))
she just worries about you lots and love you even more, hun. the most important thing in the world to her is your safety. if you were mine....i'd feel skittish about sending you away to someone i've never met, either.
moms are nerds :D

[flutelady]

(((hugs)))
moms are nerds :D

Yes we are. I've got six kids, come sit by me! Cherrypie, I'm rooting for you.

[cherrypie7788]

I'm afraid the mountain is sorta stuck too :(

[flutelady]

Hang in there, sweetie. If it's worth having, it's worth waiting for!

[Steph]

I just know my mother worried for the wrong reasons -- she was worried about what other people would think, etc. Therefore, this still belongs in the 'pet peeve thread' as well as on my shrink's table!

[maddy]

people who fail to take responsibility.

[Steph]

People who jinx themselves!!!

In Cheyanne's bug thread, I said bugs leave me alone but noooooo, as soon as I wrote that I got a gigantic bite.

My ex-husband and I were out walking the dog and he said, "I've never been happier in my life" and I yelled, "Nooooooooooo, don't jinx things!"

Sure as shit, our house burned down the next week!

OK, that's not a pet peeve as much as a superstition but I'm too supersititious to start a superstition thread!

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Not receiving the support you'd like from someone who should support you unquestioningly.

[Cheyanne]

((((((((((IAKG))))))))))))) Keep your chin up hun...

[cherrypie7788]

Add people who come over to your house, stay all day for no apparent reason, drink all your mello yello and eat all the chocolate, stay on your computer, and then act huffy when asked (politely) to give it back.

:mad:

[Steph]

^^^ reminds me of druggie friends who have no concept of anyone but themselves

Man! That happens to me too! :mad: He comes over, stays all day cruising the web for porn, drinks all the coffee in the house and eats all the damn oreos!











But it's usually my other personality! :D

[cherrypie7788]

^^^ Lol

[wyndhy]

.....delayed flights :(

[cherrypie7788]

And stupid ass drivers who cut you off at the gas pump when all the other pumps are full

I think auto zone is having a sale on licenses this month, because stupidity is in full force.

[lonelyarmywife]

Baby talk...from adults.

OK, I'm hoping it never happens to me again but it's filed away in my 'possible pet peeves' folder!

Grown adults who decide to skateboard down the street....doing tricks right under my window....at 2 am.

:rant:

[WildIrish]

I speak candidly. I say what I mean, and I mean what I say. I've grown tired of people that hem & haw, spin & doubletalk, and phrase everything carefully so as to not "offend" someone who'd doing something wrong and needs to be told to knock it off. :box:

[lizzardbits]

ppl that start a question off with, "can i ask a huge favor and i will never ask you to do this again..." when you and they dang well know that they will ask you to do it again. liar!

(now if it were to do with a sexual nature, i wouldn't mind, lol)

Preach that shit, brotha!

[Ferrit]

People who abuse me and cut me off because i choose to drive my 4wd into the city.... DESPITE the fact its a 16 year old hilux diesel, is COVERED in mud and is very obviously used as a 4wd, they still abuse me for it..... grrrr....

[Cheyanne]

Again I say.... people I work with who take it upon themselves to determine what my roll is in the grand scheme of things when they have NO IDEA what my job consists of!!! I detest being asked "Why are YOU doing that?" or "Who told you to do that?" or.."You are just (what ever my title is) and why are you doing that?"

or.. how about this?

"Well, since I don't thing you should be doing that, I am going to do it and give it to the supervisor before you can get it done.. btw - can I have what you have done up to now so it will save me some time?" I just can't believe the gall of some people!

[sodaklostsoul]

Geez Chey...and I thought my co-worker was a pain in the ass.

peeps who leave their grocery carts in the middle of the aisle and then give you dirty looks when you move it to the side.

and a bagger who looks at you as if you're certifiably insane because you ask him not to put the drippy, bloody raw meat in the same bag as the apples.

[sodaklostsoul]

People tell their kids to come into the store while they go next door to Weight Watchers to get weighed...........I'm not a flipping babysitter!!!!!!!!

The peeps who let their kids run wild thru the store!!!!!!! I wanna ask them if I can come to their house and destroy their stuff.

[imaginewithme]

Unless it's during sex, I hate mouth noises..... hearing someone chew their food, etc. just gets on my last nerve!

[WildIrish]

People who do something wrong then puff up with righteous indignation when you point it out.

[Steph]

peeps who leave their grocery carts in the middle of the aisle and then give you dirty looks when you move it to the side.

I JUST READ a blog somewhere, something, I dunno. Anyway, this guy purposely drops condoms and razors into these carts when he walks by & calls it the idiot tax for them. I can't completely agree with him because the idiot might not be able to afford it & they won't understand where it came from or why.

[wyndhy]

lol^^^

i wouldn't do that. that's just mean


i'd put in some monostat and a box of adult diapers. :p:D

LOL The diapers are big, though! :)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

What is it that prevents ketchup or dressing bottle makers from designing a lid that does NOT come off when the bottle is upside down over your hamburger, salad, etc.? Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. Here I am with my turkey burger last night, which this freaking huge glob of ketchup, covering it like cheese.

[WildIrish]

Think of how the poor turkey felt! :p

[imaginewithme]

People that say "ummm" and won't spit out what they are trying to say get on my nerves too.

[jbh3]

politically correct assholes and ass kissers

phony mutha fuckers who post from their "white picket fence" world instead of from their soul.

besides that ...everythings cool

[maddy]

How bout I just say I have a lot of pet peeves... it might be easier to list the things that don't annoy me.

[bare4you]

Jerks who think it's OK to just spit out their gum no matter where they are at so you'll have the pleasure of cleaning up after them before you walk too far

The one idiot who decides it's OK to drive 5-10 MPH under the speed limit knowing they can't be passed and that they just don't give a crap they have a line of 10-15 cars behind them who DO have to be somewhere!

[sodaklostsoul]

The jerks who ride my ass after a red light...my car is a 4 banger and don't get up to speed like fancy new cars. It's a 2 lane highway, go around.

[imaginewithme]

The ass that revs his motor and spins out every friggin morning at 7:30 outside my house

[osuche]

While we're on the noise topic...the 20-something who decides to ride his skateboard and perform tricks using the curb outside my house around midnight. :(

[dicksbro]

People that pull out in front of you ... then won't speed up. :(

[Steph]

^^^!!!

Also, people who don't allow others to get out of elevators, subways, etc. before they get on!

Also, the elevators at work arrive very quickly but once in a while someone will stick their hand into the closing doors, holding up everyone else because they're apparently more important.

[Lion]

Woman that wear very low cut tops with their breast nearly fully exposed.
Why don't they just let us see the whole thing?

[Scarecrow]

Woman that wear very low cut tops with their breast nearly fully exposed.

on the same same note, Women who wear pants instead of skirts, its hard to look up pants. :o

[Cheyanne]

peeps who leave their grocery carts in the middle of the aisle and then give you dirty looks when you move it to the side.

and a bagger who looks at you as if you're certifiably insane because you ask him not to put the drippy, bloody raw meat in the same bag as the apples.


Yes!!! - or the bagger who looks at you like ^^^ because you want the eggs in their own seperate bag! and the bread too! (I hate squished bread)

Once, upon receiving that look from a bagger - I said "I will bag my own - thank you very much!"

[lizzardbits]

Hang up the damn cell phone and pay attention to DRIVING!

[osuche]

If the bass speaker is as big as your back seat, it doesn't belong in your shitty little car. :)

[sodaklostsoul]

Hang up the damn cell phone and pay attention to DRIVING!
Hmmmm I seem to remember a story I was told about a late nite drive and a phone convo. :D

[WildIrish]

Ok...I'm an asshole. :rolleyes:


I went around the end of an aisle at the grocery store, and PLOWED right into the cart of an old lady! :eek: I swear the entire store turned around to look at me! How embarrassing! All I could say was "At least the air bags didn't deploy!" :D

I think grocery stores should be run like any other well planned road... there should be parking lanes and driving lanes... and it wouldn't hurt to have a center line as well.

Traffic lights would help too! ha ha


Actually, now that it's being discussed, does anyone else notice how the carts are getting wider and the aisles narrower? I swear, I feel like I'm trying to drive a fucking dumptruck through an alley!

Yes - I noticed that when I went to Big Y and Marshalls in the same day - the carts at Marshall's are sooooo small compared to those anywhere else. Speaking of shopping carts - it drives me batty when places don't have cart corrals in the parking lots, or when they do have cart corrals and people are too lazy to use them. And goodness, I know bricks and mortar are expensive - but couldn't Big Y have them in the STORE rather than outside?

What's the deal with the carts with the plastic kid holders up front...and why the heck is it that when I got to the store that's all they have left? Then I have to traipse around with a kid holder cart and NO kid. I get lots of starnge looks. :(

That makes sense...you stuff a carpet into the worlds tiniest shopping cart and the catfood gets lost in the tractor trailer sized grocery cart! :rolleyes:

You think YOU get strange looks?


Try sitting in one and letting your 8 year old push you! :D
