Crumbs in the butter and other Pet Peeves!

[willow]

Lateness! You said noon, I was ready at noon, still no sign of you. Just don't go breaking the land speed record because we are running late now!

Signed: All dressed up and twiddling my thumbs.

[girl_dee]

i may have said this but call waiting.

if you interrupt our time to catch another call (unless you have some emergency happening in your life) then just go ahead, i won't be waiting.

[Greyson]

I came across this in my readings this morning. I thought of this thread and the pleasure I felt when listing some of my peeves and reading the peeves of others. It is just a little food for thought. I do realize we are all human and can even laugh at some of our quirks when seeing it listed before our eyes. Enjoy your weekend all.



Everything that
irritates us about others
can lead us to an understanding

people who say "dont get so stressed out" when you werent stressed out at all before THEY started stressing you out with their stress

this reminds me of an umpire telling me to "cool off. that's just the way she is." ... he was speaking of the score keeper/book keeper for the other team. she was being very rude to our teams score keeper. like i'm not supposed to speak up when someone is being rude, ... just take it because "that's just the way she is." no, i don't think so.

same for me ! You put me on hold, I'm hanging up. I got better things to do. LOL


going slower than the friggin speed limit....Pull the F*CK over for God's sake...or at LEAST go the damn speed limit !!!

Thank you.....

Jonathan


.. or get in the slow lane. What chaps my hide too is those poking in the far passing lane.

another one is those that wait till the last gosh damn minute to get all the way over, crossing lanes to turn at the last minute stopping and stalling traffic.

[Fatale]

When the light turns green, go! Friggin' go!

[Massive]

Another pet peeve of mine is when a driver's revving their engine when I'm using a crossing to cross the road, even had them start to pull forward before, just makes me walk slower, sorry folks, but if you're that rude, don't expect courtesy from me!
Also, when they do the same to intimidate old men or women crossing the road, I make a point of walking at the same speed and looking into the eyes of the driver ...

[Guy]

Being around anyone who is shitfaced

[LadyRieinAL]

Those people who use more than one parking space to park their car - they slide over the yellow line to make it impossible for your car to be parked correctly.

Ordering three items from a fast food restaurant and one of them not being the correct item

Not imforming whomever that the toilet paper is all gone - god that is a pisser!!

[girl_dee]

Drive ups~~

yesterday we stopped at Timmies for a cup of coffee. The van in front of us
ordered everything on the menu, paid with debit and proceeded to hand out
Food to the kids while we were waiting.

There were two adults in there, why not go inside rather than hold up the entire
one lane drive thru!

[Lazy Daze]

Today while using the automatic post office machine this man behind me was impatiently tapping on his box he had to mail..that is one of the most annoying things ever!! And..just for spite....I slowed down!

And to add to it..

People who crowd my space...give me room to breathe!

[Massive]

Queue hopping ... joining a queue cos their friends there, in front ... Grrrr!
Or worse, just walking into the middle of the queue and ignoring all the rest behind ...
Had this happen so many times when I was on crutches, I'm not the type of Brit who's polite and just moans later, I told every single one of them to get to the back ...

[girl_dee]

When at the register and the person behind you is already at the cashier before you have finished your transaction.

[cinnamongrrl]

i get soooo peeved....when people hurry up to get in front of me...then go wayyyyyy slow....this irks me even more when there is no one behind me.....and they could have gone anyyy time there after.....

[girl_dee]

When people watch your every move, and THEN comment on it. Like i know you are watching me you don't have to make yourself look worse by commenting about it. Then again it does make me feel kinda important. Also sad that they have nothing better to do. :blush:

But it is kinda creepy :perv:

[girl_dee]

when all people do is sit on FB and only post complaints and negative things.

*delete*

[Julien]

Would it kill you to walk the five extra steps to the trash can and throw that ________(fill in the blank) in the can and not leave it on the countertop?:jester:

[girl_dee]

or if you miss the trash can, reach under there and retrieve and dispose!

[spritzerJ]

dirty clothes not in the hamper
leaving the bathroom floor wet
wearing wet socks
and I am very peeved with dirty dishes in general.
:readfineprint:

[girl_dee]

well my notion is that if everyone picks up after themselves (including me) there is not clutter.

Of course Syr is the exception to this rule, i often have to ask her to STOP picking up after herself so i can do it. :awww:

i take it personally when i work hard to get things all tidied up and someone (other than Syr) walks in and flops their crap all over. i feel like the message is one that i try not to convey in my head. Lack of respect? i dunno...

It's like i didn't clear that spot for you to unload your crap on!

[Vivacious1]

Oh I have a few:

1) talking loud on a cellphone in public
2) rattling a bag for an extended period of time
3) Dirty anything!
4) talking negative about another person when you do the exact same thing
5) know it alls
6) people that seek attention because they are insecure
7) people that must act important to feel important

LOL am sure there is more, that is all for now:blueheels:

[girl_dee]

#1 on that list drives me nuts.

my sister does this , walks around yacking REALLY loudly then looks around to see who's watching.

[cinnamongrrl]

A HUGE one for me... can't believe I forgot this one....

Dirty dish strainer.... :|

The dishes can NOT be clean if the strainer is NOT....it defies logic!!

:seeingstars:

[Soft*Silver]

chrissy is forever leaving doors open in the kitchen...after he uses the microwave, when he gets a cup out, when he needs a utensil....

I walk into the kitchen and before I do what I need to do, I have to finish up for him. However there are times I wait until he is in his cave tho, and then call him up and make him close the doors. Just depends on how he has been otherwise...lol.

[Blade]

I hate for people to stand and hold the door open when they are talking to you or worse yet come in and leave the door open. Heating/cooling the world

This is not a barn, nor is it a rabbit box, the door will not shut behind you.

[cinnamongrrl]

A few more...

Lights being left on...

carts being left in disabled parking so that it's difficult to park there for said disabled person..

people using the handycarts when they don't really need them...

dirty brooms and dust pans...blech

[cinnamongrrl]

I remembered yet another one today..

Dirty cords....I can't stand when the cords to small kitchen appliances get icky. Just grosses me right out.... I just feel like, how good can your toast be if your toaster isn't clean...just my own brand of logic...

[LadyRieinAL]

Here's one not mentioned, the bills in my pocket have to all be facing the same way.
Larger bills first, small bills last, fold neatly and put in my pocket.

Ever see someone pull crumpled bills out of their pocket?
Makes me want to cringe and I so want to smooth them back out.

Wolf, don't ever look in my purse <wink>

[~ocean]

ppl who beep like crazy cause they don't have enough class to knock on the door

dirty sinks

ppl who lose my silverware (hello trash ) lol

messy cars

worn off nail polish

boring womans music

cheeky music

arm folders

cologne ~ that smells like air refreshener

[LadyRieinAL]

Pet Peeve

friends who smoke and leave their butts in the ashtrays on the porch instead of emptying them - garbage can is only a few feet away - worse, thumping butts out in the yard.

Tossing gum out the window while driving - little birds die from eating gum

Flicking cigarettes out the window while driving.

Tossing any kind of trash out the window when driving

Going to Lowes or Home Depot and or Target (looking at Wolfy) (smooch) not finding one single person to help

Drinking out of a milk carton in my refrigerator

someone sending email to work when you've ask them not to more than once

(I'll stop - for now)

[Soft*Silver]

oh Lady R....I have laid on my horn when I see people throw things out the window in the car in front of me..I mean LAY IT ON. For a long time...this is my Mother and I dont want her trashed...

I dont like smudgey eyeglasses. Its hard to talk to someone when their lenses need cleaned!

I dont appreciate when people who work on my property toss their cigarettes on the ground.

and come summer, people who trash up their yards with every imaginable yard decoration there is known to Kmart....

[Rockinonahigh]

One of my worst peves is a dirty kitchen,it is so easy to clean as you go insted of doing it later or not till more mess is made.I had a neighbor who had a big problem with this issue big time,I went to her house(the first time) for a pflag meeting she had rinced a glass out of a pile of dirty dishes in the sink then made me a glass of ice tea..I thought I was going to puke...I promiss the meeting was a short one.
Another peve is people not takeing a bath insted they pour on the scents to cover up the B.O. wich makes it way worse,personal cleanlyness is should be a priority imho.

[NJFemmie]

I'm not fond of seeing food remnants in things like mayo, butter, etc.
I'll use a clean fork to scoop it out just to avoid the possibility of contamination. :|

[diamondrose]

This peeve mostly stems from my experiences with my mom when i was a femmelette..

it peeves me when my stuff is moved from the location i placed the items to a place i wouldnt even look...and that person forgets where they put the them.

[Bèsame*]

Oh, I can't stand it, seriously, when people have to tell me why they need to go to the bathroom. Please just go..I don't need a reason. Just turn and go there!

Also, if your scent smells like bug spray, I'm going to walk away before I gag!

[OS Butch]

Wolf, don't ever look in my purse <wink>

I may hold a purse when asked....Looking in or getting something out of one of those things....not even when asked...I will bring the purse to you!

Pet Peeve

Going to Lowes or Home Depot and or Target (looking at Wolfy) (smooch) not finding one single person to help

That wouldn't happen at my store;)

[OS Butch]

When I was younger. I had lots of pet peeves....As of this moment, I can't think of one....I'll be back when I run into some!

[Fatale]

Dawdling when the light turns green. Fucking go!

[~ocean]

when ppl borrow things and never return them ~ theif

[Scuba]

Certainly a bit OCD about a few things...

1. Someone mentioned a dirty kitchen. This goes beyond just dirty dishes in the sink although I may take issue with this as well if they are piling up.
2. Pressed pants and shirts. Wrinkles are only cool if it was made to have wrinkles.
3. I can't do bad cable management. I'll take as much time as needed to clean it up; black mamba and twist ties are our friends!
4. I can't do clutter in the main parts of my house. If it's shared space it needs to be kept clean.

I'm sure there is plenty more...

WOOT!!! Nice! I'll feel good about entering your home now **laughing**

[anotherbutch]

left open drawers and/or closet doors or cabinet doors...

crooked mini blinds...

people that won't stop talking at work when I'm trying to concentrate... grrrr

[Scuba]

crooked mini blinds...


Thank GOD I'm not alone in this. I fix crooked pictures too :|

When they section off 10 miles of hwy to work on a 2 ft patch.

[girl_dee]

When people are at the grocery counter and wait for the entire purchase to be rang up before digging out payment method.

The other day this happened and the woman actually wrote a check.. after all was said and done.

You KNOW you need to pay, be ready, i'd like to get out of there!

[Katniss]

When they section off 10 miles of hwy to work on a 2 ft patch.

Worse.....when sitting patiently (more or less) for minutes on end as the line creeps along and some %^!!@# decides to be cute and swing out and use the side of the road as their own personal lane to jump to the front of the line. Ignoring all the signs, cones and flashing lights then trying to act all surprised that the lanes merge and expecting you to LET THEM IN!! That would be "NO" and they would have to take the paint off my car and I still will *not* let them pull that arsehat trick. A friend was with me once when this happened and the guy was really coming over hard and I didn't give an inch. She was freaking out and asking me, "Where did you learn to drive, Talladega?"

Katniss~~(releasing my inner NASCAR)

p.s.....and sticky cabinet handles and fridge doors....blech!

[girl_dee]

Back home there used to be this one intersection, up on a high rise where everyone needed to exit, and always a back up.

It NEVER failed, someone always flew past the line, stops right at the front to get in, and someone always LET them get in. If people would not allow the cutting they would have to wait like everyone else.

What is with that? Do they think their time is more important than everyone else's :carride:?

[durrrrrrrr]

a big ole pet peeve for me is when people throw trash out of their car!!

everyone has to go to gas stations, throw away your trash while you're fueling your car damn it!

throw your trash away when ya get home , asshats!!!

[girl_dee]

Tim Hortons cups in Canada ! They are EVERYwhere, how come they can't make it to the trash? How come they use plastic lids that will take a bagillion years to deteriorate!

[Syr]

Cupboard doors and drawers not properly closed. Will need to devise better training methods it seems.

[Soft*Silver]

I think one of the things that peeve me the most is when someone acts PC in front of others and then when they go private. feel ok with saying racist, homophobic, transphobic, hateful things. Dont say the N word to me at home because no one is around to judge you, thinking I wont because I am white. I am white only because of genetics. I am all colors because I have evolved. Fuck you and your dirty little secretive comments...

[Fatale]

Being interrupted when I'm speaking. I fully acknowledge that it might sometimes be hard to get a word in edge wise, but still.

Oh, and the word "upset". "Are your upset?" "Don't be upset...". That word drives me mad.

[Rockinonahigh]

I feel the same way about this,my inner nash car was in full force when I drove the old farm truck cause it had a cross tye for a front bumper pluss a big heavy top bar od solid railraod steel that went around the side of the nearly to the end of the wheel well on the truck.I promis there were plenty of hot shots with cross tye and steel bar marks on the fancy cars or what have you.

[OS Butch]

As I was driving to the bowling center, I came to a red light. Anyone know the definition of a split second? It is the time between the light turning green and the car behind me beeping at me. I know of at least 3 times I was saved from getting t-boned because I was not fast on the gas and someone blew through a red light. Think about that before beeping.

What is even worse is being 4th in line at a light, it turn green and the car behind me beeps.....really?!

[LadyRieinAL]

I may hold a purse when asked....Looking in or getting something out of one of those things....not even when asked...I will bring the purse to you!

where's your store....I"m coming there!

a filthy car interior.

there is something about a water bottle or an apple rolling around the floor board that just does me in. ....

:\

[NJFemmie]

I might have mentioned these before, but I like shiny things to be shiny. Especially bathroom and kitchen fixtures. I see water spots and I cringe.

I also hate seeing toothpaste (and hair) in the sink.

Sometimes I think Mare looks at a picture with Her head tilted, because I am always straightening pictures. She'll swear up and down that's it's level, but um, no. It drives me nuts to see a crooked picture (or anything) on the wall.

[Katniss]

Going to a cookout and seeing the host toss meat on a dirty grill. No. Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong~!~!!

Rules for grilling;

1. It must be a Weber. (If you use gas you may as well cook at the stove indoors and be comfortable)

2. The Weber *must* be clean!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. Do not put the meat on the grill until the flames are no longer shooting up the rack!

4. "Blackened" is not the same as "burned" and don't even try to pawn it off as such.

5. Meat goes directly on the rack, not tinfoil otherwise see #1 and cook at thr stove.


Katniss~~(raised where grilling and bbq are taken very seriously....)

[WolfyOne]

People who let their little children run amok in any store while they shop without a care in the world as to where those children are.

We can cook together...on a Weber, that is.
I have a 22 1/2 inch Weber that I've only used 3 times since moving to OKC :(
Makes no sense to use charcoal to fire up a grill for just me...unless I fire up the Smokey Joe.

[cinnamongrrl]

ohhhhh I came to post something specifically and after reading over I thought of several more :|

I hate going to the news stand/ bookstore and the magazines and books are not in the right place...I hate when they get untidy at doctor's offices too...

The retail goddess in me DEMANDS that labels be facing out AND that the shelves be dust free and orderly...and since I'm no longer in retail, I do this habitually when I go to stores. (minus the dusting) I'm the customer that Barnes and Noble LOVES to see coming... :| I should really ask for a discount on my purchases...

My other peeve is yet another cleaning one. I can't stand when people use their sponge that washes dishes to wash EVERYTHING ELSE...the counters, the table, the fridge, the FLOOR..??!? :| I worked for a woman who did that. And she was a MEDICAL ASSISTANT....:seeingstars:

I'm like that at store too but only when the person I am with is taking a lengthy time making their mind. Its not that I'm bored but more like - look at these messy shelves. Here let me straighten them for you people lol.

I have issue with couch pillows. If they are going to be there then they need to be evenly distributed across the couch.

Don't leave dirty dishes in any room of the house other than the kitchen... And preferably in the sink or dish washer.

Okay gonna stop now or I may start sounding rather petty lol ;)

[jac]

in other people's houses!? :| lol

I've been known to lol.
Or at least bring it to their attention.
It just grinds my nerves if I don't say or do something about it.

Lids left loose to only fall off without warning and spill crap everywhere.

[Talon]

The constant lint that always seems to come with any fleece garmet....and a lack of courage.

[TheMerryFairy]

People shouting the answers to the puzzles on Wheel of Fortune OVER AND OVER AND OVER. I get it. You're a genius and you solved the freaking game before anyone on the tv show! That's wonderful. I've been known to shout letters, guesses and answers too. I think 5 times is enough during any given puzzle.

Even at the clinic i work at people mess the newspaper up, i go out, put it back in order between clients!

Duplicate threads on this site. If you do it, i will hunt you down!

[PaPa]

Minds that remember EVERY minute detail!
Oh wait!! That is not a pet peeve! That is a trait I wish I had!! LOL! Hmm wasn't that another thread about aging and what you wished you still could do?

Ummm ... Pardon the derail.... Now where were we??

[TheMerryFairy]

Hair in the drain, lids not on jars properly and toothpaste buildup around the tube.

[girl_dee]

Hair in the drain, lids not on jars properly and toothpaste buildup around the tube.

Squeezing the toothpaste from the middle............

[maryam]

Cabinet doors that are left open. Turning on ALL the lights in the house. And the thermostat wars.... I'd keep it at 60 year round if I could. But I know I'm weird. So I'm okay with turning it up a bit. A bit is mid 70s in the early morning when first get up, and then 68-72 ish the rest of the day. It doesn't need to be 80 in here!

Oh, and running the a/c in the car when the windows are open. If the windows are down, the a/c needs to be off! Especially now that we live in a place with expensive gas.

[TheMerryFairy]

Squeezing the toothpaste from the middle............

YES and leaving the cover off, finding the toothpaste topless in a tub that isn't drained OR a bright pink wad of spit in the middle of the sink.

[little_ms_sunshyne]

When the phrase "I could care less" is used! It's "I couldn't!!!"

[SleepyButch]

Hair in the drain grosses me out.

[VintageFemme]

The older I get, the less pet peeves I seem to have. I used to be mad crazy about certain things. The kind of crazy that makes other people crazy but now, not so much so. I'm pretty laid back and whatever will be will be about most things. I'm even pffft about the kitchen and bathroom chrome anymore.

I kinda remind me of this anymore...

those who escape hell
however
never talk about
it
and nothing much
bothers them

that.

YES, thank you for posting this one! I have a whole bunch of language-related pet peeves.

The strongest being "lie-berry". It's not a libary. That would make me a Libarian, making it seem I am from the Land of Libaria. There are 2 R's in the word, and neither of them are silent.

There is no such word as "supposably", or "orientate", or "nuke-u-ler".

I'll stop now. :D

[Jean_TX]

Oh my! I could spend the rest of the day listing my pet peeves. Top rated ones are:

- Pictures that do not hang straight. (I cannot help myself, I have to straighten them. Usually it means waiting until my host turns their back.)

- People who constantly check their cell phones for email and/or facebook crap during dinner out or at a gathering. (I recently blew off a woman I was dating for this rude behavior.)

I regularly go out with a group of three women from my neighborhood. Right after we get seated, they all haul out their cell phones, put them on the table, and begin their "every 5 minute" check for messages. It makes me wonder how they survived before the advent of cell phones...

The strongest being "lie-berry". It's not a libary. That would make me a Libarian, making it seem I am from the Land of Libaria. There are 2 R's in the word, and neither of them are silent.

There is no such word as "supposably", or "orientate", or "nuke-u-ler".

I'll stop now. :D

When the phrase "I could care less" is used! It's "I couldn't!!!"


"irrigardless" :|

I think we need to get together and conversate about this. ;)

i would never even think of dating someone w. their head attached to a cell phone .. I;d walk out on a date like that ~ dayummmm i cant stand ppl who talk on cell phones in stores etc. , anything public . no class.

OK. I admit to talking on the phone while shopping , or i plug in my ipod into my ears ..

When you are on a date leave your phone in your pocket and focus on your date.

Speaking of language related pet peeves. It make me crazy when someone use "lose" and "loose" in the wrong form. I see it often in chats.

Borrowing my hairbrush and leaving hair in it...

Don't even get me started on grammar and spelling peeves.

Unnecessary apostrophes drive me apeshit! Every plural word does NOT need an apostrophe people!!

Your and you're

Starting a sentence with a conjunction. Oy! :|

[willow]

Hair in the drain, lids not on jars properly and toothpaste buildup around the tube.

A build up of ketchup, mayo, washing up liquid.... the list is endless. Just hanging there like swollen hemorrhoids around the top of the bottle. No need, no need for it at all.

[Sparkles]

Huge peeve of mine. The misuse of ellipses. Example:

I had a great day........visited with my pony..she was happy that I brought her carrots...............................I'm so lucky to have a pony.........Life sure is great with ponies............................................ ...i think everyone should have a pony!!!............

Drives me fuckin crazy!!!!

Uh oh....I would be such a pain in your rear. I use these constantly, because I type exactly how I talk. I use either a ton of ellipses or too many commas, to show the slight pauses (damn southern drawl) that would be there when having an actual verbal conversation with me. It's habit for me, which I only recently realized the true extent of....oops.

[Teddybear]

To me the worst thing a loved one or friend can do to really tock me off is to hang up on me while we r having a difference of opinion. To me its just rude behaviorand shows a lack of respect. Believe I WILL tell u about the next time we talk usually rather quickly cuz I will call u back

[TheMerryFairy]

I agree! Bbq sauce has been the worst so far OR when your spices have become dry and hardened so they no longer shake.

I read back over my post and don't see any difference from other posts in this very thread. Quite frankly, I'm one of several individuals in the thread who identified grammatical errors as so called "pet peeves." I'm taken aback at the insinuation that my post is bullying or poking. As far as I know in my brief time as a member here, well-intentioned, innocuous kidding is an integral part of communication within any community.

Sparkles-

My moderation is not up for discussion and I do not appreciate you acting as if you don't know EXACTLY who and what you were making fun of.

There is not a fucking thing that is "well intentioned" about copying a member's font and posting style, making a shitty, mocking post about it even if couched in self-riteous "helpfulness", and then repping another member as a "high five" about who it might affect.

That shit? It's mean-spirited as fuck and exactly the kind of high-school bullshit that we do. not. want. on this site.

You can have a 1-week time-out to mull it over.

Making tea and realizing somebody put a carton in the fridge that has 3 drops of milk left in it.

[TheMerryFairy]

Smudgey, greasy fingerprints all over the screen that are beyond avoidance of notice when the sun hits the tv.

[TheMerryFairy]

Slurping through straws just to be a pain in the arse. I don't think I've ever done this and if I do then it's fair game to be tickled.

[macele]

remarks made about online relationships, groups, ect., ... not being reality. it is for me. it's not face to face. but it is reality. i'm the same person online as i am in person. i don't tell everything about myself. i believe in privacy. but this is reality. it is real.

[KCBUTCH]

I really dont like it when people move things and dont tell me, since my memory is very object orientated If its not where I remember it I may never find it

[TheMerryFairy]

Dirty dishes stacked in the sink and leaving multiple cupboard doors open for hours until somebody else closes them. It irks me.

[Ginger]

Some fonts are hard for me to read, and it really gets my annoyed. It helps to be able to enlarge the font on a computer screen, especially if there are no paragraph breaks and it's one big chunk that my little brain can't hold all at once, so I pause, think, then lose my place when I go back.

[TheMerryFairy]

Going into a bathroom and seeing that the toilet paper roll hasn't been replaced.

[girl_dee]

People leaving their trash in the grocery carts...

[TheMerryFairy]

People leaving their trash in the grocery carts...

That irks me too! Also people leaving half filled carts abandoned in the store. I can understand if you have a child tantrum to deal with but other than that, at least put things back!

[Rockinonahigh]

On of my pet peeves is the garbage/trash pileing up,I have beed places in public or private that the trash has pilled up then stinks to high heaven..even buggy.Yuck,don't people care about the health and safty issues from such a mess.

[TheMerryFairy]

Mostly empty plastic bottles/cans left out on the counter!

If you are done with it, either put it back in the fridge or rince them out and put them into the recycling bin!

[cinnamongrrl]

Litterers....now that the snow has melted I see where our roadways are just swimming in trash....I dreamed I was out there cleaning an especially nasty place.
So I think I will pick up a nearby area that is truly an eyesore...and also the gateway to a public drinking supply... :blink:

[TheMerryFairy]

People who stand in lines trying to decide what they want. I understand it can be a big decision and it can take some time. I am pretty laid back.

After 10 minutes and you still can't decide between iceberg and romaine lettuce? Skip it or toss a coin?

Me too.

If sentences run on and on, I have to just pass them up. Seems to be a computer thing mostly. Maybe it's the backlight? I like using little dots....helps me gather my thoughts... and it tickles me that it creates such a stir! Who knew??! I like the pregnant pauses....... lol

[Sweet Bliss]

little stuff doesn't bug me

it's the other stuff. like being rude. being a bully. now that bugs.

not a pet peeve but.......annoying using internet from phone because my fingertips click on the wrong spot I am trying to click :|

[wahya]

lack of communication..Drives me crazy. I like to talk things out with everyone.

[Anomaly]

Yesterday I went shopping and got 3 new sundresses and a nude lace dress, and they're all short, and you can't wear a bra or boots with any of them. I woke up today and looked out the window, and it's snowing. (Sigh)
I got everything together to run a pile of errands, made extensive plans to drive all over town and get my to-do list DONE.
I log onto facebook quick before running out the door, and I hear the snow outside is now a civil emergency. The roads are undrivable, people are crashing all over the place out there. Half the places I need to go are shut down.
Not my job. I'll be there, watching tv by myself, in the middle of a civil emergency, because nobody is going to come out in this.
It's April! Mid-April!
Winter is my pet peeve; snow, ice, cold, being stuck inside.
Ugh!
Thanks...

[TheMerryFairy]

People who chew loudly on the phone when calling to book an appointment. If I can't hear what you are wanting to book, it is hard to make an apointment. Oh and when I politely say that "I am sorry, I am having trouble hearing you", it does not mean scream with your mouth full. *Sigh*

[cinnamongrrl]

I don't know if I've said this already...but I thought of it just today...

Sticky bottles..jelly, maple syrup, honey etc

Crusty bottles...mustard especially...gotta get rid of that awful mustard scab....

and last but certainly not least...

When laundry and dish detergent bottles get all that residue alllll over the sides... yep that just burns my ass....

Dirty work stations

[girl_dee]

my thoughts exactly

my co-workers are not very clean folks

i vacuumed during my lunch hour the other day, i am sure it's the first time in the 5 years they have been in that location it has been done

the good news is it's contagious, people have started clearing out some clutter..

example..

5 broken shredders piled up in a corner... :|

i can't work in that mess ,,,so my office space is WAY nice now!

[~baby~doll~]

Doctor's who keep you waiting an hours past the time of your appointment. I know things come up but this is the third time out of the last four visits from this one. There can't be that many emergencies can there?

[TheMerryFairy]

When people opt to eat on the go while walking and then stop every 10 seconds because they can't do both at the same time; especially when I am on break and trying to get back to work before I am late.

[Ascot]

Clean the effin' lint trap in the dryer!

[Cid]

When someone pulls out in front of you while you're driving and then drives slow...grrr.

[PoeticSilence]

People that leave water running or lights burning in empty rooms.
Litter and other wastefulness.

[girl_dee]

misbehaved kids in restaurants!......

[PoeticSilence]

When movies are filmed in the dark and you can't really see what's going on. Especially when a lot of the film is that way.

[Rockinonahigh]

awhen someone borrows something then forgets to return it promtly or when it dose get back to me,is dirty or messed up(broken).

When people do not close things properly lol.

Waking up, and going to the bathroom to start my day and finding out my toothbrush is...WET??????

[Graham]

nah not dealbreakers, just pet peeves, small and large


i kinda feel the crumbs in the butter is just more than "crumbs in the butter".

kinda feels like it's just a tad disrespectful of the others who share the "butter." i am working on not taking things like this personal myself :)

i am home most days and do most of the housework and sure i have time to take out crumbs but that's kinda not the point on the receiving end.

but YES, life is so much bigger than crumbs in the butter. :)

Just take your butter from the other end, or spoon the jelly out:byebye:

[*Anya*]

My GF says to me the other day: "you are so much more mellow than you used to be".

Not really. I have a shitload of things that bug me. I just have learned to pick my battles better:

1. Loud people. Like in the movies or in a restaurant. STFU!

2. Parents that allow their kids to run and scream in restaurants. ( there is a whole thread somewhere here in BFP on "is it ok to take your kids to an expensive restaurant"? Uh, not if they are allowed to run and scream, no).

3. People that chew gum with their mouth open, snap their gum, blow bubbles and pop them! Not even talking about children, talking about adults. It is like nails on a chalkboard for me.

4. Radios with heavy metal on the beach: up really loud. Actually, I prefer the old days, when people went to the beach and just listened to the waves.

What a concept but I guess I have become my mother and am an old fart now. :blush:

5. I can't even get started about wind chimes.

Noise sensitivity: When I was 30, noise did not bother me nearly as much as it does now.

*Sigh*

personalized license plates that i can't figure out.. drives me nuts(er) !

[RockOn]

In the past couple of weeks, this guy in a very nearby cubicle brought in a huge bag of something - I suspect potato chips. He brings it out mid mornings and mid afternoons. He has to squeeze and massage this freaking bag every time after he gets a bite. I want to ... well, nevermind about that. This guy irritates me so much! I almost went over there today but decided I needed to wait until I could be less annoyed. I already bought him a pack of paper plates for his subway sandwiches, asked him if he would use them and quit squeezing and rattling the sandwich wrapper the entire time he eats. He also uses a coaster I took him. He used to slam his large drink down every time he took a drink. I really do not like this fellow. He eats like a pig!

[RockOn]

I have a sensitivity to noise too - more so at work I think. I think it worsened the past few years. Wish I could be more tolerable. One thing, other friends at work are annoyed by same things but won't do anything about it. They love when I say something to the offender.

[girl_dee]

Brock,

i can relate. i work in a office with two sisters, both eat all day long. We work in a very relaxed space, but one of them i share my office with 3 days a week. She eats ALL day long, which i don't care about, but i do care that half the time her food ends up on the floor and when she comes to my desk she is talking with her mouth full of food. i don't think she realizes she does everything while eating. All day, chewing or discussing lunch. She comes in at 8:30 asking about lunch. Her life revolves around it i think.

After she leaves i sweep up the chips, grapes and whatever else has hit the floor. Trash can full of food bags. i am so afraid of bugs that i empty it every day.

Every single day she goes out for lunch, comes back, punches in and brings her lunch to her desk which is in my office, and proceeds to eat. So she answers the phone and talks to all of us with her lunch in her mouth... for hours the place smells like Subway, Canes or whatever other hot lunch she gets. i don't eat these things and i can't stand the smell.. but i am still the new kid on the block so i keep quiet about it for now. i have dropped hints about it but it goes over her head i think. i think she has done this for so long she doesn't know how to do anything else. She is munching when she walks in and until she leaves. If i have a snack around, like almonds out, she confesses that she "stole a few". Of course i don't mind but wow.

My problem is that i really love this lady, she is so sweet and nice. She is considerate on every level, but this eating thing. i think she is truly oblivious to it, i also think she has a serious problem and she struggles with it openly. She is very sensitive and i know it would really hurt her feelings, but dang its kinda crazy.

venetian blinds, hangin' pictures, clocks and mirrors that aren't hangin' straight. makes me :seeingstars:

[RockOn]

girl_dee, I sure have a lot of compassion for you regarding your work situation. And especially being the newbie there. It simply amazes me how some people at work either don't have a clue about how disrepectful they are of others or they don't care. I am so careful about my noise output at work. I must confess that I eat often at work but dump things on a paper plate that are in rattleand crackle package. No one has to suffer through any food intake of mine. I make sure of it. Wish I had a silver bullet for you, a for sure fix to offer you but I don't. My mouth always tends to get me in trouble at work. Someone pisses me off with some disgusting or rude cyclic behavior at work and I end up pissing them off for telling them to knock it off. Then I have ended up in the big office because I mowed them over. Anyway, I doubt my ways would be your ways. Let me know along the way how things are for you at work with these people. Hope it gets better soon!

ForeverBlue, I do not like dishwashers either. They cannot
get my stuff as squeaky clean as I can.

Crumbs in the butter and other Pet Peeves:

When someone else borrows or uses the truck/car and doesn't put the seat and steering wheel and radio back the way they found it.

[Andrea]

Bathrooms with only the blow dry your hands machine and doors that must be touched to open.

I have seen people (specifically co-workers) who don't use soap (water alone contributes to bacteria growth) when "washing" their hands. What good is it for me to wash my hands and then grab the handle, or twist open the knob, after someone who didn't wash properly? At least give me some paper towel to open the door with, or put an automatic door button I can press with my elbow.

[Chad]

I hope that I don't offend anyone but my pet peeve is when someone makes a mistake and says "my bad". Saying "my bad" is not an apology.

The appropriate response would be pardon me, excuse me, I am sorry, or I apologize.

The guy that spent half an hour sweating all over the treadmill next to me that did not wipe it down when he got off of it. Just made his way out the door like his sweat and germs were an offering or something. Bleh.

When having a conversation with someone and telling them you had an accident and they talk about their even WORSE accident, or if you talk about your kid winning something, they talk about their kid winning something BIGGER or BETTER.

One uppers! As a reformed one upper, I apologize. To be fair, it was more of a 'finding something to relate to' aka "OMG, me too!!!!" thing for me but I have since changed my ways for the better.

:innocent:

People leaving their trash in the grocery carts...

yea groossss, especially food items. yesterday I saw a damn grocery cart on the front drive of a 4 star hotel. I'm like really!!!? take that the hell back where you got it from.

another is people throwing shit out of their car as their cruising or stopped at a red light. find a damn trash can lazy *#ks!

[Bèsame*]

A huge peeve for me, I hate when the steering wheel attacks my knees, said the tall girl!Crumbs in the butter and other Pet Peeves:

[PoeticSilence]

Looking down the street AFTER trash pick-up day and seeing all of the bins bent and tossed in yards or laying in the road with garbage blowing around. I mean really...if it's in bags, SEALED, it shouldn't be blowing around, and the trashmen need to take it easy on the bins and just lay them up by the sidewalk so that they don't impede traffic and shit.

[Licious]

I try not to let it bother me TOO much. Pet peeve is awful punctuation.


I am used to seeing terrible grammar, and I forgive it, heck I make mistakes sometimes... but there seems to be a rampage of insane punctuation these days.

I want to shout: Folks, you don't use an apostrophe because you make something plural!

Okay, I said it, and I feel better now. :bow:

[Sweet Bliss]

People who bring tired hungry hot children to store and either let them scream the whole time or torture them into screaming more and louder. Especially the jerks that smack or humiliate or intimidate little ones.

I have interceded more than once. Will continue to do so.

When someone offers *suggestions*, *alternatives* and such and when you decline them gets downright ticked off.

I don't like to be late to anything so I'm always early. If you have long hair keep it off the sink,bed or in the laundry(I don't want it on me or my clothes)and don't sit there playing with your hair and pulling loose ones out to drop on the floor. I have short hair and NO you can not borrow my brush, I don't care how much I love you . Otherwise I'm pretty easy to live with. No I don't leave my whiskers in the sink after shaving LOL

[DaddyNik12]

leaving cabinet doors open above the sink , piled up dirty dishes , or having male friends over and they leave the toilet lid up after using the bathroom , or someone using my bath towel to dry off with when I have a whole stack of them on the cabinet by the shower ughhh!!

Squeezing the toothpaste tube and not rolling it up instead. LOL

[Scots_On_The_Rocks]

People playing with their cell phones while on a date. :bomb:

[girl_dee]

Using a *z* instead of an *s*.. like for realz

[Rockinonahigh]

I have this wonderfull thing called a dishwasher that works very well,the sink is next to it,I tell my son to put the dishes in the dishwasher but they mostly end up in the sink.PULLLLEeeeeeeeeeessss!

[KayCee]

Leaving behind a dirty gunky sink and toilett. Talking and coughing on my food.
Generally people who don't have manners and don't clean up after themselves.

[NitroChrys_Butch]

People who do not know how to merge... (or drive or use a turn signal)

Putting the milk back in the refrigerator at work with two drops in the container...

Taking things off My work desk to borrow (which I do not mind because My favorite work items are in the bottom drawer and out of sight) and not returning them...

Having to ask someone something more than once ...

[Bino85]

When people put knives with the blade side down in the knife block.

Drives me nuts!!

[PinkieLee]

Pet peeves...

going out with a group of friends for dinner or drinks and having the entire damn table be on their phones!

people that constantly pop gum

taking the last soda or beer out of a 12-pack box, and NOT throwing the box away

[Sweet Bliss]

Folks who make sharp clicking noise when talking on the phone.

Please stop. It's very painful to ears on the other side. Thank you in advance.

[Teddybear]

Liars, thieves, users,, and abusers. Can't stand them. Stay awau

[girl_dee]

*whatevs* ......... :seeingstars:

[Smiling]

I have a big problem with anyone sitting (even if it is just on the edge) or lying down in my bed in street clothes. Either put on some indoor only clothing or take it all off; otherwise get out of my bed!

The really weird part about this pet peeve is that it never bothered me until about 6 years ago when someone was discussing with me how much it annoyed them when people did this (not me).

I subsequently reflected upon it and found myself disgusted. I haven't allowed it since that time, lol.

*Looks at you. Is thinking this is just a cute excuse to go shopping. Naked works for me.*

Totes! aka I totally agree with you.

lol, you got me there. I could spend a small fortune on lingerie and loungewear. I am two steps inside the door and already peeling off the street clothes.

And well, naked pretty much is always the most comfortable way to go in my experience!

ETA: Re: naked - and usually the funnest, lol. And yes; I said "funnest." I like it. :)

[Smiling]

Really long posts with no visual breaks drive me up a wall. My eyes aren't that great and I just usually end up skipping over them. I'm certain I miss a lot of great stuff this way, but it gives me a headache.

Also, please do not ask me for my opinion and then tell me I am wrong. If I have offered an unsolicited opinion, then fine; feel free to tell me about myself. If, on the other hand, you have asked? Just say thank you for your input and do whatever it is that you need to do already.

This. Or take what i say personally. i may bring something up but that does not mean it's about you!

[Smiling]

Start in on me by yelling so loudly that I can't participate in a discussion with you or get a word in edgewise. And definitely do it first thing in the morning because that is naturally my most cheerful time, lol.

Then, when I walk away, follow me around trying desperately to bait me into an argument that you (general you; not referring to anyone here) are determined to have through vile insults and threats.

Oftentimes, I need to think through how to best address things before I have the conversation because I do better with non-verbal communication, so I may need to walk away for a time before I discuss something; but I am definitely not interested in having loud screaming matches.

:praying:

[cinnamongrrl]

This is a big one for me lately.....

I really hate when I see people (men or women) wearing scrubs while grocery shopping....

I have worked in hospitals and other facilities. I KNOW what you can come into contact with in a day....and I know there are other things you couldn't possibly know you were exposed to :|

I also know that I have NO WAY of knowing if these people have just come from work or not...

All I can say for myself is.....I get out of my scrubs asap after work....and throw them in the wash immediately. I have never wanted to bring any surprises home to my family....There have been days where I wanted to douse myself in Lysol in fact....lol

[girl_dee]

Smokers who think the world is one big ashtray...

[girl_dee]

and i have to be careful that i don't do this.. but when you open up to someone about a situation and in their effort to comfort you they say..

*oh yeah, thats happened to me SO many times....*


Very dismissive of what you are going through!

[uglyboi]

The damn duck face that teenagers make when taking pictures.

Squelched Sneezes.

People who let dogs that jump up on everyone loose in public.

Using your finger as a gun.

Greeting cards that throw sparkles, sequins or confetti on the hapless recipient.

The Jersey Shore cast.

People who ask Who? after every-time you tell them the person you're talking about.

When people ask if you're ok when you are obviously not.

[Martina]

A big one for me is folks whose logistics are always complicated. You can't meet them for coffee without a half an hour negotiation about which coffee shop or what time or whatever. I am just like do it or don't. Nothing is worth that.

[girl_dee]

When you are waiting for someone to get their crap in their car so you can take their spot and they seem to move in extra slow motion, then they sit in the car and take forever to back out!

[Sweet Bliss]

Not being "allowed" to voice my pov.

over and over again.

the clock is ticking ....

it's almost that time boys and girls.... :marketbicycle:

[Ginger]

When people don't take their backpack off, when the train is really crowded and it's standing room only

[Smiling]

When people have conversations/meetings in the middle of a walkway and actually get irritated when they are politely asked to move to the side to let others pass.

And piggy-backing onto this theme—when people stop at the TOP of the subway stairs, to talk on their cell phones. Dangerous!!!

[Jet]

"irregardless" is a pet peeve.

[Sweet Bliss]

smokers breath, stale smoker clothes, living quarters filled with stale smoke odor.

eeeeewww.:|

[Rockinonahigh]

I have a dish washer,it's next to the sink,please put the dishes in the dish washer instead of stacking them in the sink for me to find when I get home from an all night pool tournament.This is a big peeve folks.

[Sweet Bliss]

Does anyone remember that liquid "butter" in a squeeze container?

I loved it for buttering toast. If i had known then what I know now, i would have filled it with ghee or coconut oil. Humm. that's a million dollar idea.

[deathbypoem]

When I have been in the garden too long and i can't seem to get the last bit of dirt out from between my toes no matter how much i try. Yeah, I garden barefooted. go me :)

[Rockinonahigh]

I buy peanut butter in 5 pound can's,my son will dig around in the jar after he gut jelly on the knife,so I often find jelly on the inside with the pnb or on the lid....he is old enough to know better.

I used to make a separate jar of PB with jelly mixed in for my son when he got old enough to make his own sammiches.

maybe give him his own jar to goober up with jelly? bugs me too btw. (w)

:hamactor:

[deathbypoem]

When someone texts me back and they reply with a "K". grr. :)

People driving down the road/highway/freeway
littering out everything they own
in their vehicle. Ridiculous.

[C0LLETTE]

Professionals who can't or wont explain a problem/solution to the layperson that's paying them. This includes doctors, lawyers, mechanics and anyone else that hides behind a lot of mumbo jumbo "technical" blah blah.

I don't need it broken down into single syllable words but I am bright enough to understand most common usage words. My newest epiphany is that if they can't explain it, they're ripping me off.

[C0LLETTE]

1. Call Centers... need I say more... a monstrously ugly turn into the abyss of exploited, disgruntled workers and frustrated cheated customers.

2. Automated telephone systems that send you into a crazy-making maze of number choices that leave you so horribly confused and trapped that all you want to do is throw that TV, fridge, whatever, out the window and go fire bomb the company (just a figure of speech...do not try this at home )

I absolutely hate automated telephone systems...I didn't mind them so much when the actually gave an option to get to a real person, but they don't even do that anymore. Drives me nuts

[cinnamongrrl]

I hate when my kids take the last of something (packet of oatmeal...last cookie etc) and leave the empty box. Im under the impression that I have these things still and dont replace them....burns my biscuit!

[Diablo]

ok...im a double dipper..and i leave crumbs in the peanut butter..i also cross contaminate..i use the same knife on the butter i just used on the jam. Same with the mayo. :-( Forgive me for i know not what i do...okok...i do know what i do but...i cant help it...:|:|:|

[MrSunshine]

Hair! Anyone's, on me. Or in any place on my body it should not be. Even my own when I get it cut I have to run home and shower.

That shit shows up in my food and I am coming out the box!

[MsTinkerbelly]

People who step over a hanger or bit of trash and keep on going.

I have two of them in my house and it makes my blood boil!

[Charmingbutch21]

Sticky. Like when I get syrup on me. Gah!!!

[Orema]

Nicking my finger nails before the paint has dried.

[Candelion]

People who ask you what you are doing on a specific date as though if you have nothing planned you want to do their stupid activity.

This is how it should be done: "I wonder, Candelion, if you would like to go to the monster truck pull with me on Saturday." Perfect. Now, I know exactly what their nefarious plans are. I can politely respond with, "Oh, I'm dreadfully sorry, but I have tickets to the duck calling contest that day. Enjoy the truck pull!"

You are taking all the fun outta "surprising you" with gawdawful plans!!!

Here's how I do it... Candelion darling, I have an extra ticket to the Circus. Do you know anyone who might like to go?

That way you can holler, "what about ME!?! I want to go!!!" :| :rrose:

[theoddz]

I've been considered by many as a bit of a "neat freak" and my house HAS to be in order and tidied up before we leave to go somewhere and when we go to bed at night. I can NOT.....will NOT tolerate dishes being in the sink. I HATE that!!!

I DETEST dirty dishes being left in the sink, or crumbs on the countertops, especially overnight. For one thing, it draws roaches. Dear wife does NOT deal with roaches and will hop up on a chair if she spots one on the floor, and will commence to screaming for me to "COME GET THIS DAMNED NASTY ROACH!!!". I have my house professionally sprayed every month, and have had since I first bought this house nearly 11 years ago. We do NOT have roaches and I intend to keep it that way!! So dirty dishes are promptly rinsed and put in the dishwasher and the counter tops and kitchen sink are wiped down and dried each evening.

I'm so very happy that dear wife and I are very much on the same page with tidiness and good order. We both do chores around here, now that I'm retired, and our home is always in order and spic 'n span. Anything else would drive us both the the drink!!! LOL :winky::thumbsup:

There's NO excuse for nastiness, in our books. If you've got the energy to mess it up, you're going to damned sure FIND the energy to clean it up. :rant:

[uglyboi]

1. The way some people walk in flip flops.

2. Getting fruit in my bag at Halloween.

3. When people finish my sentences.

4. Hair on soap.

5. People who leave time on the microwave. Clear the damn clock!

6. Porn clips where the where the audio is slightly delayed.

7. People who open the door for you and they are 200 feet away.

8. When I text a joke or something funny and the person does not reply. I mean really, a haha or a lol will do. It only takes two seconds. I mean hello!

9. People who make up names, use creative thinking, or unneccesary punctuation in their kids names. Like T'yffanee. Makes my skin crawl.

10. When I walk into an empty movie theatre with people who chose to sit in the very front. Why would you unnecessarily volunteer to break your neck or 2 hours.

11. Chalk. Looking at chalk, touching chalk, writing with chalk, watching someone write with chalk, writing about chalk, anything else with that devilishly textured abomination of calcium carbonate. Chalk can burn and die in whatever hell there is for inanimate objects.

12. People who say warshing machine or winder instead of washing machine or window.

13. Family reunions in the middle of a store that block the whole aisle.

[Kenna]

When my burrito explodes in the microwave :|

[CherryWine]

I could hear a guy smacking his lunch in the room across the hall from my office today. People smacking and talking with food in their mouths drives me insane. Say it don't spray it, ya know? :whine:

[Vivacious1]

I do not under any circumstances like my hands to get dirty. I know, I am neurotic. It makes me nuts. Eating ribs? BBQ chicken? No freaking way!

[cinnamongrrl]

whatever brilliant think tank decided to make the scroll button on the computer (>>>>) nearly invisible UNTIL you're using it....

yeah that must've been 10 years worth of education right there...

This has been bothering me for some time... I just chose today to voice it.

<<<has grumpy pants on

[*Anya*]

I may have posted this when the thread was first started but it is so irritating; I shall do it again:

People that talk throughout a movie!

We went to see Nightcrawler the other day. It was a matinee so there were a ton of empty seats but of course, they sat right in front of us.

They proceeded to talk non-stop. I shushed them a few times, they stopped for a second, and then, could not help themselves- they were off and running again.

Other than them, the theater was quiet.

Finally, I leaned over and said: "You are not in your living room watching TV. Would you please be quiet and stop talking?"

They finally shut up.

Irritating beyond all measure.

Good for you!!!

That also bugs me; when you are already comfortably ensconced in your seat and the place is EMPTY...and people sit RIGHT BY YOU... I call it the herding instinct...then they proceed to talk...sheesh...

I have actually had to YELL at someone who answered their phone not once but TWICE during the movie....twice. People suck man....

[A. Spectre]

in a parking lot, i get as far away as possible to park. have seen too many inconsiderate people throw their doors open and ding the side of adjacent car.

usually, most folks will waste a gallon of petro to find the closest spot (amiright?) so, my away parking spot is devoid of most drivers.

BUT.....every now and then, after returning to car from making a purchase, i see a pick up truck the size of east AND west jesus parked 2 inches away from my door. why? plenty of other spaces available.

why?
