pet peeves

[Ava]

what are yours?

i have many(as everyone) but right now i'm annoyed by one in particular. someone who friend requests you on facebook that you don't know so you send them a message asking them who they are and they don't respond.

1. Our cat pukes like a frat boy

But he has a sensitive stomach, so we cut him a lot of slack unless he pukes on our shoes.

13. Our dog Vicki burps like a frat boy.

:rofl: :P Maybe your cat and Vicki should compare notes. :rofl:

18. Oh, gee...

...now that is what I call a "Kodak moment!" :spray:

[AlCzervik]

2. someone who calls my house and aks "Who's this?", not hello or "can i speak to.."

you called me so you should know who this is.

[BlueJazz]

3. I usually say "Federal Bureau of Investigation....What is your Pin?"

They don't call back :)

[RushIsRot]

5. Another good response to that question:

This is the Devil speaking. Who in Hell did you want?

[Danger Mouse]

6. i have many. ha.

i hate when people talk slowly and don't get to the point. i'm a fast talker, so it drives me nuts. i can't stand impolite or inconsiderate people. i think snotty or rude customers should try working a few weeks in retail and then re-evaluate their attitude.
the person on facebook, well, if they won't say who they are, then chances are, you have reason to stay far faaaar away.

7. My pet peeves far outnumber things I don't mind.

[Lethe]

8. i really don't have any

i'm pretty laid back. :D

9. My husband

keeps wanting to actually talk to me... and I have a hangover. It just aint right.

[Generic Brad]

10. Cell phone users in bathrooms

I especially get irked when they signal to me not to flush or make any noise so the person they are speaking with does not suspect they are in a bathroom.

This has been such an prevalent problem where I work at that management had to officially ban cell phone use in the bathrooms. I would send a picture of the sign, but if I tried to do that I would have to actually use my cell phone in the bathroom.

11. my pet peeve as well

so I make sure to grunt loudly and often - especially if it seems to be a serious conversation.....I sprinkle in some comments about last night's chili, etc....sometimes I even prolong my stay just to annoy them

[Hissyspit]

12. Saw John Waters speak tonight and he said his pet peeve was when

people say "pi'ture" (as in pitcher) when they mean "picture."

[NewWaveChick1981]

14. My list:

1) People who use scissors, tools, etc., and DON'T PUT THEM BACK WHERE THEY FOUND THEM---THEN they expect ME to know where they are. :grr: :nuke: *cough*husband*cough*

2) People who talk on cell phones in checkout lines, grocery store aisles, public bathrooms, etc. :grr: They aren't paying attention to what they're doing, and they look at other people like THEY'RE the crazy ones when the phone abusers bump into them or ask them to move so they can get by. It's damn inconsiderate.

3) People who call ME and then put ME on hold. (This happens at work a LOT.) When somebody says, "I have another call---can you hold?" I say, "No. Please call me back when you are free." :grr: :mad: I won't hold. I'm a busy professional, and I have thousands of other things to do---literally. :(

4) People (*cough*fundies*cough*) who think that because someone might not share their beliefs that they are evil and/or misguided. Um, I'm an agnostic, but I meet the definition of "Christian" because I care about my fellow human beings and have dedicated my career to helping them, whether they appreciate it or not. I have a great deal of compassion, but because I don't attend their church or believe their beliefs, somehow that puts me into the "evil" category. :grr: Nope, sorry---I think it's "evil" to be locked into one deluded set of beliefs.

Many more on my list....will put them out here later. :)

17. the third one, i just hang up.

:)

15. People who ask, "Are you cold?"

It really bugs me when someone sees me with a sweater on, or sees me put a sweater on, and immediately ask, "Are you cold?"

Once I was at a night football game with a neighbor, and I put a sweatshirt on. She asked, "Are you cold?" I replied, "No, I'm just making a fashion statement."

One time at work, a woman who resembles me apparently had a sweater on, and the boss called her by my name and said, "OH MY GOD! ARE YOU COLD?"

At certain times of the year, it can be rather cool in the morning or in the evening. At other times, office buildings may be over-air conditioned, or not warm enough. When that happens, some of us put on a sweater. And yes, it is because we're cold.

I know it probably shouldn't bother me, but it does.

[SPKrazy]

16. okay here's some...

rudeness in restaurants or public places

tailgaters riding my bumper as I pass someone on a 4 lane wanting me to go faster around a car.

people I work with who expect me to drop everything to answer a phone call or see someone who shows up without an appointment right then- or it's some kind of catastrophe.

Another work related one... having a placement set up for a patient and then the placement falling through for reasons beyond my control but everyone seems to think I should have "done better"

many more I'm sure... some bother me more than others

pet peeves blah!

:hi:

19. Telemarketers

It boggles my mind that anyone, upon receiving a call at home from any telemarketer, would buy anything from them. But they must, because otherwise, why would they continue to do it?

[taterguy]

20. My dog waking me up at 3:00 AM when he wants to go outside

I hate it when he does that

[Lasher]

21. Cat waking me up at 3 AM just because he's lonesome.

Doesn't want out, doesn't want food. Just flops down in the floor after I get into the next room with him. He's taking a nap right now. Think I'll wake him up.

[Lyric]

22. People who sleep through class

and then have the nerve to ask me if they can copy my notes. Uh...NO.

The people behind me who insist on chatting with their friends during class. I realize that YOU don't give a damn what the professor is saying, but *I* would like to pass my next exam. STFU.

People who hover right behind you in a crowded parking garage, waiting for your spot, making it almost fucking impossible to actually back out of said spot. If you want the spot so badly, get the hell out of my way! Also, people who hover for your spot when they see you walking toward your car, and then get pissed off and start yelling when they realize you're just getting something out of the car.

[taterguy]

25. Make fake notes for folks like that

Ya know, shit like "Karl Marx believed that the roar of the masses could be farts."

[NV Whino]

23. People blocking grocery store aisles

The damned aisles are narrow enough without some idiot parking his or her cart in the middle or at an angle and/or standing next to it to take up the entire width of the aisle. And if you want to chat with a friend, go outside, don't stand side by side in the middle of the aisle. And keep control of your kids.
Arrrrrh!

Okay, I'm done now.

[Sugar Smack]

24. When people don't listen, or are willfully obtuse.

It's too frustrating, and it sometimes renders me apoplectic.
