The Pet Peeve Thread
 

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?

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

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

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!

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?

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?

When cashiers put my receipt in the bag.

LOL! ^^^

It's a vicious circle, eh?

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!

STEPH! :halo:












:D

Fine! No PANTIES for you!!!











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

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:

The dumb ass Fanta commercials before movies.

How about ANY commercials before movies. :rolleyes2

Movie previews = OK
Commercials = Fucking Irritating

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

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




:wobble:

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

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!)

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

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



Oops, did I say that out loud? :D

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

I had a pet peeve but it ran away

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

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww! :trout:

Getting hit with a fish :D

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

These are a few of my least favourite things.

:rofl:

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:

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:

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?

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:

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

"Waitpersons"?
omfg :rofl:

I live in a college town... I would say waiters outweigh waitresses 3-1

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

Lilith the proper PC term would be server

Ok..ty!

dang you are fast Lilith
