I hate when people don't close the toilet lid when they flush. The toilet water can splash up to 8 feet away!

*glances nervously at my toothbrush*

[Daniela]

People who "one-up" you whenever you say anything.

Constant bragging.

Social media braggarts (the worst!!). :rolleyes:

Fishing for compliments.

*Leaving chip or cracker boxes wide open after eating them.

People who don't pay attention to where they're walking (admittedly, this has been me before...but it's not so bad when I do it, of course :cheesy:), or people who are so oblivious to their surroundings that they don't realize/care when they're in everyone's way.

*One of these things doesn't fit with the others. I realize this.

[CherryWine]

or people who are so oblivious to their surroundings that they don't realize/care when they're in everyone's way.

THIS drives me infreakingsane. Especially when trying to grocery shop and people just leave their buggies (shopping carts for those of you not from the south :D) in the middle of the aisle.

Another one would be people who park their cars like jackasses...either taking up more than one space or parking too close to another car.

[CherryWine]

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?

Oops just saw your post. As you can tell...I AGREE! :)

OR they congregate with said buggies three wide or more...really.?....and I may as well be invisible with my mobility scooter! FFS! Do you think I want to sit behind the lot of you, deciding to chat at length. You would "think" they would give berth huh? Ain' t happening!....:blink:

[Daniela]

I almost forgot about the humblebrag, one of the most annoying pet peeves.

from Urban Dictionary:
Humblebrag

Subtly letting others now about how fantastic your life is while undercutting it with a bit of self-effacing humor or "woe is me" gloss.

Uggggh just ate about fifteen piece of chocolate gotta learn to control myself when flying first class or they'll cancel my modelling contract LOL :p #humblebrag

Also, also, vaguebooking.

Vaguebooking
An intentionally vague Facebook status update, that prompts friends to ask what's going on, or is possibly a cry for help.
Mary is: "wondering if it is all worth it"
Mark is: "thinking that was a bad idea"

Example:
"Have you talked to Mark? He's vaguebooking again. I wonder if he's back with Mary..."

[Ascot]

Loud talkers. In restaurants they are always the ones talking about the most boring of things. I suppose the salacious conversations are more hushed.

People who seem completely flummoxed at 4-way stops.

Those who, in any retail situation, still pay by check and wait until the entirety of their purchase is rung up to even begin filling out said check.

[VintageFemme]

People talking on the phone in the bathroom.
People talking on the phone in line at the store.
People talking on the phone over dinner.
People talking on the phone on a date.

And water spots on the the bathroom/kitchen chrome.

And adults using text talk.

And those who wear expensive clothes & accessories and then wear nappy beat up ugly shoes.

And sarcasm.

[Daniela]

People talking on the phone in the bathroom.


LOL I flushed the toilet one time, completely cutting off someone's phone conversation. I felt bad about it for about half a second, and then I came to my senses. :cheesy:

Don't come up here. That's the norm.

Ever notice how people will push their carts in the same manner that they drive on the roads and that no one realizes that the rules of the road apply to store aisles as well? Speed demons, slower than molasses in winter, distracted and oblivious to others....4 way stops, side streets need to yield, etc.

Frustrating.

1. Anyone who pronounces the word Missouri in the following manner - [mih-ZER-uh] will automatically elicit some sort of reaction from me. It's reflexive. That particular pronunciation repels and attracts me all at once. I'm not sure what that's about, but it is what it is. I never know exactly what to do when someone does it, though; it puts me all out of sorts. My outward reaction might be stoic, I suppose; but inside I'll be a little freaked out, lol.

2. When I hear adults refer to potatoes as "taters," tomatoes as "maters," and bananas as "nanners," it actually pains me. "Maters," by far, bothers me the most.

3. However, what really sends me over the edge more than anything else is the widespread phenomenon of adults having adopted the speech patterns typically associated with teenaged girls hailing from the valley - complete with that absolutely dreadful vocal fry.

(Case in point: I was having the most relaxing experience at the salon last week until two chatterboxes (who, it must be noted, literally did not stop talking the entire time I was in the chair) seated right next to me struck up one of the most inane conversations I have ever had the misfortune of overhearing.

And as they continued their ceaseless and vapid banter, all the more pronounced became this particular manner of speech in each of them. So what was at first (for all of 5 seconds) mildly amusing, reached a very rapid crescendo of annoying as I was forced by circumstances beyond my control to seriously contemplate the feasibility of stealing a pair of scissors and plunging them directly and deeply into my beleaguered ears for a bit of relief from the mounting migraine, lol).

I have never understood the need some feel to fill every single pause with mindless conversation. Ooh - there's number 4.

That's all I can think of for now, but this is not to be construed as an exhaustive list, lol.

"Starter home" ( it's a dump but $800,000 reno will make it liveable ).

"View of ocean or mountains" ( Here, get up on this ladder and grab these binoculars).

"Up-and-coming neighbourhood " (Once the gang wars end and shopkeepers return and remove the plywood and bars on their windows).

"Close to parks and shopping" ( You can walk your dog in the Walmart parking lot")

"If you're a gardener, you'll love it" (Especially if you're a heavy equipment operator).

[CyberStud]

Slamming doors!!! There is a handle for a reason so please people shut the door and don't slam it!

[Sweet Bliss]

After slaving over a hot stove or oven for hours cooking someone's requested meal, and hearing....

"This is good Ree....

BUT NOT AS GOOD AS MINE..."

it's called a backhanded compliment, meant to "sound" polite, but it's actually a slam directed right atcha.

I'm sure you have heard other versions...

You look great in that suit, too bad your gut sticks out....

A friend called them poison sandwiches....something delish wrapped in moldy bread.

It's a "you are not good enough" message meant for your solar
plexus.

[Sweet Bliss]

Being intentionally rude and later acting all innocent.... for example:

"I'm glad to help while you transition to getting your own place! Glad to have you! Just when you leave be sure to take your Mom with you! hahahahahaha!!!!"

Not really seeing the humor in this, but I do see the ugly part.

Later in the evening it's : " What did I do now?? There is no pleasing you."

I'm telling you, I've seen it all! And then some:/

[girl_dee]

we have a dishwasher at work and people leave their dirties in the sink.

[Chad]

People that are self centered and arrogant.

Example, we have a new rider on the commute van and as soon as he sits down he lays his seat back in the lap of the passenger behind him without asking. He also blasts the a/c without asking the other passengers if they want a temperature change. Lastly, he expects us to wait for him to arrive when it is convenient for him.

It must be nice to be the most important person wherever you are.

Rude!

:explode:

[Rockinonahigh]

The dish washer at home is less than a foot and a half from the sink, BUT, somehow the dishes never quite make it to the dish washer unless I say something about it... me thinks my off spring is lazy about these things... or worse.

[Gayandgray]

when people at work will throw trash in a trash can when they can clearly see that there is no trash bag in the can!!! It makes me wonder, would they do this at home???? How disgusting!

Crumbs in the butter...when washing dishes or loading the dishwasher...forks all belong in the same hole, spoons in a different hole, knives pointing blade down in a 3rd hole...drives me nuts to put flatware away when it is all mixed up

When people will put a container of food, juice, whatever back in the refrigerator instead of just throwing it out when there is only like a drop or two of stuff left in it! My step grandson does it all the time. There can be literally two swallows of kool aid left in the jug and he puts it back in the fridge! :seeingstars:

I have to argue a point here. I have no linen closet since they apparently phased them out 50 years ago...so my towels go on an etagere. The towels only fit if they're tri folded. And yes...they look neater to some people it does matter. But fold them the way you want lol. That's the best part of being single! Self dictatorship

Ceiling fans. No matter how often you clean, they are dirt collectors. And while I think it's great that they move air around (particularly here in the south where it can be very stale), it's still disgusting. I detest ceiling fans over my dining table, in my kitchen, and over my bed. And I'm no germophobe (homoe!). I think some dirt is good for a person. It builds character. But not over my dinner and not over the place where my naked body is laid out for rest and for anything else I may want to do there, okay?

You could very well be onto something there. For example, I've noticed it in parking lots, too. Empty spaces as far as the eye can see and 20 cars in a cluster in some far off corner of the place. And you know what else has always struck me as odd? Something could be laying around for ages, untouched, discarded, dusty, unwanted; but as soon as one person goes for it, everyone suddenly wants it.

Do you think those sorts of instincts are prevalent in the majority of people or are they just some weirdo DNA hangover from another epoch that hasn't quite been bred out of the collective gene pool yet? lol, or are the personal space people the outliers?

Human beings are simultaneously fascinating and repellent.

Actually that's a peeve of mine I hadn't thought of. If people sit next to me in an empty theater then shush me if I choose to make a comment to my companion...boo hoo on you. It was your choice to sit next to me. That's why I love the drive ins...you can converse, laugh and eat in peace. And no one cares that you snuck in a can of soda...cuz good luck opening it in a silent theater lol

[Gayandgray]

I hate when you are pushing your shopping cart through the busy store, minding your own business, and the person in front of you just stops dead in the middle of the aisle to either play with their phone or talk to somebody! It's a royal pain when I have my spouse with me because I'm pushing her wheelchair with one hand and pulling the cart behind me with the other hand and then people do this!

Telling everyone who cared to listen (and even more who didn't) all about how everybody from the American Revolution on up could have, should have served their country better, by going to war and fighting harder, longer, stronger, smarter, and ever so much more fearlessly better in battle than you yourself when given the opportunity and deciding to pass did not. Blah, blah, blah bitty, blah... And I'll be enraptured listening to you speak on the intricacies/contingencies/strategies of war when -

You're entitled to your opinion. But I believe it depends WHERE it is. I'm not talking about an intersection or where pedestrians are supposed to cross the street. I'm talking about curvy country roads where if you don't see someone in time you could easily hit them.
Where the speed limit is 55 and I'm supposed to slam on brakes because they want to cross the street in their own slow time.

It's not safe for anyone.

[C0LLETTE]

TL!:
"Where the speed limit is 55 and I'm supposed to slam on brakes because they want to cross the street in their own slow time."

Are you talking about "streets" or "curvy country roads".

If you are on curvy country roads, going around curves at 55 mph may not be such a great idea no matter what the posted speed. You might just hit a deer, or anything else crossing the road along with any country folk crossing the road.

Thing is safety is the responsibility of the car driver and if you are able to see how slowly someone is moving ahead of you, having to slam your brakes on means you are going too fast.

I'm still willing to go for a walk on a country road with you :)

It really annoys me when I'm driving down the highway doing the speed limit and a car on a side road decides to pull out in front of me, causing me to hit my brakes if I can't change lanes! Then they drive really slow! WTF???? The speed limit on the highway is 55 and I'm doing just that, so why take a chance and pull out in front of me like that? What if I was a jerk and didn't give a shit and I smashed into you?

And guess what I am listening to right now!

I am going to go find that little yapping machine!

[Stone-Butch]

Shoot the owner not the dog eh.

[girl_dee]

Shoot the owner not the dog eh.

that is SO true. If i could find the little bastard I would probably ask to take it out and wear it out.

Its definitely careless and rude.

Another pet peeve is people who don't pick up after their pets. :shithappens:

[Gayandgray]

People who tailgate me when I'm in the slow lane doing the speed limit.

[BullDog]

People wandering around stores talking on their cell phones getting in my way. Put down your phone. Do your shopping and get out of the damn store and in the meantime get the hell out of my way! Even worse when people talk on the phone when someone is trying to check them out at a store. Rude! Sometimes I long for the days before cell phones. Hell, I'm old enough to remember the days before answering machines. When they first came out I was like, no way in hell I'm talking into that thing. LMAO! Anyway - we did survive without them!!!

[girl_dee]

people who make up their own language.

Like my new coworker says *Pet P* instead of Pet peeve. :rubberducky::|

[Gemme]

People who take 6 months to get to one single point.

[girl_dee]

other drivers who *Share * their loud obnoxious music.....

[easygoingfemme]

People who take 6 months to get to one single point.

YES. Crazymaking!

[gotoseagrl]

Putting on fitted sheets. :thud:

[Gemme]

People.

:blink:

There was no need for that guy to be nasty. If it were the first time I'd gone there and I dealt with him, it would have been the last.

Rude!

[girl_dee]

My coworker likes to chew LOUDLY....... annoying!

[Breathless]

Pet Peeve-- When 'people' in my house lock the front door, while the room mates window is wide open and the back door is open, but a pain in the ass for me to walk down the dark alley and through the mud and slush in my shoes.. Clearly, I am the one being locked out. 'Invokes to Wanda' Response.. I heard you knocking, but I thought you would just use your key or come around back. Grrrrr

[girl_dee]

My pet peeve is having a room mate! I can't share my space anymore.

[girl_dee]

people who do not clean up after their pets.

[Glenn]

My pet peeves are posts with a long ass wall of text.
Multiple tatoos and piercings.

[girl_dee]

today who come to work SICK

[BullDog]

One of the pet peeves I have with myself: why do you stay up working all night when it just means your productivity plummets the next day and you wipe out any "gains" you made the day before and throw off your schedule?

[*Anya*]

My pet peeves are posts with a long ass wall of text.


I'll just tiptoe out of this thread back over to the 2016 election thread...

I do try to separate articles I post into paragraphs but some articles are indeed a wall.

Speaking of walls.

I don't think Trump is going to be building one <<< short post ;)

Don't you wish your brain had an off switch? I fall asleep easily but I dream about things I think about during the day.

[Shystonefem]

Cap off the toothpaste, no worries
Hair in the brush, I got that
Clothes in the floor, I'll pick them up.

Toothpaste all over the bathroom mirror, ugh.
A dirty sink, double ugh

[Gayandgray]

People who want to come over and sit on my sofa, then prop their feet on my coffee table. NOoooooooo! We have a WHITE table, idiot!! That's why the sofa has recliners on both ends!!

I had a partner who looked at me like I was crazy when I asked them to take their feet off of my table. So disrespectful!

[Gayandgray]

It annoys me to no end when I'm having a private conversation with somebody and another person just walks up and butts right in! If what you have to say is so darned important, at least have the manners to say "Excuse me ", "Pardon me" or something! Don't just interrupt our conversation for something dumb, that's rude.

[kittygrrl]

I have pet peeves somewhere but I usually just shrug them off and forget them, let me think!:blink::blink::blink:.....later

Okay, but if you want, I'll make some hot cocoa and we can talk about it while you're thinking....in my case, concerning pet peeves, I might just sit them up high on a shelf and let them think about it for a spell. We can make chocolate spelt cake too, while we're busy thinking.

:: blowing femme sista, sista smoochies ::

[MsTinkerbelly]

I don't like people snapping their fingers to music.

I don't like the sound of people clipping their nails

[TL1]

When I'm on the phone at work and my my coworkers start playing around and getting loud so I can not hear the customer. I enjoy playing around too and my coworkers are a blast but have some respect when others are on a call

TBH, my pet peeve- when you are getting into someone's song...and it ends waaaay before you're ready-

[Chad]

Airlines and their treatment of customers.

I hate running off one plane as fast as I can for what seems like miles across a busy airport to catch my connection because they will leave without me if I cannot run fast enough to get to the gate by the deadline.

So not cool.

On the upside I can still run when needed. :)

[gotoseagrl]

Without fail always being the lucky one to grab the most noisy annoying cart in the store. And having to take it back for another.

Yes to both of these.

Also:

I hate wind chimes.

Give me peace and quiet.

Nothing bugs me more than when I am outside, enjoying the pool or sitting in the sun with a gentle breeze blowing through my hair and then...,

Clang, clang, clang.

Disturbing my quiet enjoyment of the day.

Why oh why, do people think that everyone loves wind chimes just because they do??

PS: I think my filter may be broken.

(w)

[girl_dee]

when people let their screaming children disturb everyone else. i get sometimes it cant be helped (airplane etc) but sometimes they just don't care. Take the kid away from the people, people!

[Kätzchen]

When I click on what I think might be a small image, then transfer the image to post, and it turns out to be bigger than life.

Worse, when I can't find a smaller image to replace it in time before the window of time to edit, expires.

lol, I'll just stick to leaving a link. :blush:

[Gayandgray]

When people ask you to tell them the truth about something, give your honest opinion, etc and you do, and they get mad! So why ask my honest opinion in the first place? Would you rather I lie to you??? Sheesh!

[CherryWine]

Sorry, picky eaters. I secretly judge you. :D

[girl_dee]

When someone transfers a call to me unannounced. i will hunt you down.

[Chad]

When someone repeatedly says "um" between sentences.
One of my coworker's says um after just a couple of words consistently and the other coworker puts the um between every sentence.

I am on conference calls with both coworkers everyday and it gets on my last nerve. Ugh!

:sigh:

Picking a mug up to use only to find theres a ring of stale coffee/tea left in it. Would like to add this ever happens on my watch !

[girl_dee]

when people overstay their welcome, not a fan because i find it hard to say GET OUT.

[2qt]

When someone takes a shower & leaves dirty laundry on the floor when there is a washing basket right next to that dirty pile on the floor..... It just baffles me!

[Chained Daisy]

Stroll by pickers.....when I`m serving out meals and people casually take something off a random plate.....Unless you know that is your plate then leave it alone, in fact leave it alone and wait til its at the table anyway.

[Chad]

Rude people including people with no sense of social etiquette.

Example: Today I was standing in the hall chatting on the phone with mom. A man and woman got off the elevator and stopped six feet in front of me. The woman looked at me then whispered in the man's ear then he looked at me. Then the woman did it again. They chuckled and then went their separate ways.

I stood there looking back at them (six feet in front of me) and wondered why she didn't just point at me too. Rude!

I kept talking to mom and as the man walked by me he gave me the head bob and I returned it.

This is not the first time this has happened but it ticks me off everytime.

Chad I have to say I am so angry about this, angry this happened to you, angry that some people think this is acceptable.

I have to say had I witnessed this I would of been sorely tempted to make some disparaging remark about `whispering woman` within earshot so she could spend the rest of the day pondering as to why something about herself had prompted such a openly snarky reaction. That said clearly you were far more dignified than that, all credit to you for returning the guy`s head bob and keeping your composure. You stood head and shoulders above him.

For a long time my daughter was only comfortable in boys/mens clothing. We were in a department store one time and I was helping her pick out things to try on. She asked did I think anyone was `looking` at her because she was browsing the Men`s section, No I said and if they were so what. She smiled and happily went about choosing things {she does so love to shop ! :)} I then became aware someone was indeed `looking`. A chap waiting by the dressing rooms, he was watching her intently with a curiously fascinated expression and a ridiculing, sneer of a smile spreading across his face. I made sure my daughter was not aware I was discreetly observing his reaction, so intently was he watching {judging} her he was not aware either. She trotted off to try things on and I waited off to the side. When I saw her coming out and handing some items to the assistant he again became engaged in `watching` her. I stepped forward and shot him a killer look of `protective mama Bear/enraged Femme/Butch avenger` I`m sure you get what I mean ! He had the good grace to look extremely uncomfortable, struggling to hold my acid stare and began to blush profusely. I left him with a scathing up and down appraisal and we went off on our way. My daughter never knew of this exchange. I think had she noticed his reaction she would of fled with no purchases and been pretty shut down by it. I will never understand some people. :|

[girl_dee]

On that same note its no fun being judged on any level.. and if someone is judging me they should keep their comments to themselves or out of my space. :police:

I have a pet peeve of vanilla folks thinking its ok.to judge my kink.

Also note to self to watch my own judgment of others

[kittygrrl]

my pet peeve is that, my spouse does not wash out his soda can before disposing of it in the recycling!..I'ts not required here, but I just have a problem with knowing it's in there! So I end up carefully fishing them out and washing them...when he catches me doing it he always looks very innocent and wonders (out loud) how they got in there, butches! :|

[Lyte]

Ohh! That kind stuff annoys me! It's the attitude of .... "I'm just so cute and clever with my lil whisper." <-- Grr! And 99% of the time ... that whispered comment ... comes from a chic. SMH

I'm pretty civilized but shite like that just begs my snarky side for a response. No no... nothing rude or vulgar ... maybe just a wink or a sweet smile and "Love your stems..." More often then not ... the seemly brave chic turns red. Hee! :p

I recycle everything possible. In my home I ask family and friends to leave the cans and bottles next to the sink. I wash everything myself before it goes into the recycle bin that way I know it is clean. Unrinsed bottles and cans attract bugs and vermin.

[Lyte]

PET PEEV... when someone passes between me and something I'm looking at and doesn't say "Excuse me" or "Pardon." This typically happens at the grocery store. Thankfully, it's a rare occurrence and most people still demonstrate some grace! :)

A$$holes, in general.

PET PEEV: driving on the freeway... someone comes up behind me ... indicating that they want to pass me... I move over to the right... and then they move up just enough to stay right beside me. W T F ?!

Or worse... they move up just enough to sit in my blind spot!! W T F ?!

Or worse... I move over to let them pass and then they c r e e e e p forward so slowly that before they actually pass me I'm going to be riding up the arse of the guy in front of me.

PEOPLE ... if you want to pass someone ... f'ing pass them already! W T F ?!

Receiving anything in the mail that the sender requests back (usually photos)!

My sister just sent me a picture of cousins that I have not seen in at least 25 years and was never close to even back then! If this picture was so treasured to her why on earth would she let it out of her sight, let alone trust the US Postal Service with it!

The material on Premium Saltine crackers gets to me every time I open a new roll. Long, long ago it was a waxed paper type covering. Easy to open and stayed closed well with a couple of twists.

Now I have to be so careful. Most of the time I use scissors ... if I don't, I will pull so hard, next thing I know is the whole damn pack flies open sending crackers everywhere. I just did that last night. :( Pisses me off something fierce!

Obviously double or either triple the order for the one that is constantly sold out and consider order less of the ones that just sit on the shelf!

Anytime I want to stock up on a favorite item, I order a case of it directly via the store manager. I know them all by name, personally, at the few grocery stores I tend to shop at only. :)

When someone is in your home and you give them something to drink AND put a coaster right in front of them on the coffee table, yet they don't use the coaster and set the glass on the table!!

[cathexis]

When a guest (or family member) walks into my apt. (or house) with gritty outside shoes on. They fail to (by choice or ignorance) leave the outside shoes outside and slip into any of the various pairs of slippers or soft shoes provided at the door. Causing a deposit of shoe debris anywhere they walk. This grit inevitably lands in beds and other places one would rather not have street grit and grime.

Put that goddamn cigarette back in your car! You have a right to smoke and enjoy a cigarette, I also have a right not to be forced to inhale second hand smoke!

I agree. I hate cigarettes.

[C0LLETTE]

geez, roll up your car windows...you're probably inhaling a lot more car exhaust than cigarette smoke...and if you're walking and that close to a car at a stop, you're risking getting whipped out by the side mirrors or a bus...take a step back, take a breath and chill.

If you're really that worried about driving smokers at stop signs, petition your municipality to allow them to just roll thru a stop sign...you'll never smell a thing ....then again there are nasty unintended consequences to everything.

I totally get how you feel.....now....I don't smoke anymore, so it irritates me now when people are smoking in public spaces. I was just telling a close femme friend recently, that I'm probably going to be an very cranky ex-smoker. I don't like it either and I wish I had corrected my coping behaviors sooner.

Smoking will kill you. Cigarettes are NOT your "friend."

When a store starts carrying a new product (and yes I'm talking about Di Goiania's new deep dish pizza) and week after week one of the selections are sold completely out (and yes, I mean the Pepperoni) while the other two remain fully stocked and unsold!

H E L L O get a clue manager!!!!

Obviously double or either triple the order for the one that is constantly sold out and consider order less of the ones that just sit on the shelf!

After having a nice little "conversation" with the manager at our local Albertson's, I'm pretty sure I'm officially classified as a bitch now!

When a TV network airs a season or two (or more) of a really great show then cancels it.

[girl_dee]

when people offer unsolicited advice.

There are times when we ask for suggestions, but why do some people feel a need to offer their advice, aka "give direction" when no one is asking for it?

i find this completely irritating and exhausting. i don’t want to have to battle someone about what they think i should be doing, when i didn’t ask for them to fix something that isn’t broken.

The point of the conversation gets lost because the person is really only interested in advising.

SooOoOOoooo, I just got home from picking up my new eye glasses. I like them a lot. But whatever happened to being able to see after you get your new glasses??? LMAO (or not), as my taxi driver took me home, I wore them and could only see the trees purrfectly. Big street signs, I could see. Regular street signs, yanno-- the name of the street posted at street corners, I could not see them. I was like..... *wtf!?!?!* :|

Apparently it takes two weeks for my eyes to get accustomed to the new lens prescription, but still (!), what the heck?!?!?!!

I am this way as well. I am pretty loyal to certain brands and items and the few times that I have purchased another brand I have been greatly disappointed. Now, I just stick to what I like and know works best for me which saves time, energy and disappointment in the long run so I can focus my energy on other more pressing matters.

Yes!

Greasy fingerprints on top of the paper towel roll.

Leaving a half sheet of paper towel on the roll without replacing it.

Leaving 2 tablespoons of coffee in the pot first thing in the morning so that the next person to arrive has to make the next pot.

We also keep a scoop by the ice bucket to avoid people reaching their hands into the bucket for ice. Just last week I walked in to see a coworker using the scoop AND her unwashed hands to get ice out of the bucket at the same time. Eww. I don’t use the ice because I’ve long suspected such.

The list goes on... :sigh:

Sorry but I was surprised that it's spelled that way too. Look at it like this; you are unique! People get my legal name screwed up all the time, too.

As for myself, in relation to dee's crumbs, we have a smoker's receptacle on the sidewalk. I can't COUNT the number of times I will find cigarette butts on the ground, less than 5 feet away from it. They must have been in some difficulty in order to not be able to walk those 5 feet over.

Must be bad lungs because of all that smoking.

:hamactor:

[*Anya*]

People that are piggies either don't care or would not recognize themselves as such, picture or no picture.

It is a no-win.

Re: the ice. I used to bring my own bag of ice to work. I would put the bag inside another bag, put my name on it and tie it in a bow first and then use a twist tie.

Yes, I am just that OCD (in case you hadn't figured that out by now).

Every damn day, people would open it up and take ice anyway.

They would leave the bag open with the twist tie on the freezer shelf. At least I was warned.

Oh, I used to work in a place that had a cute little sign over the sink that said: "Your mother does not work here, please clean up after yourself and do your dishes".

By the end of the day, the sink would be full of dirty dishes.

The staff? RN's and licensed clinical social workers, both females and males (no stereotypes intended).

We could never catch the culprits.

The leaving of dental products and prosthetics on the sink or anywhere except the bathroom cabinet or other closed area.

Asking my opinion of pustules or boils with the expectation that I will "help" them pop it.

Asking my opinion of multiple wounds, skin abnormalities, bruises, or bodily discharges with or without visual demonstrations.

Picking at teeth with a fingernail, especially at the table. For God's sake, get up or ask me for a toothpick.

Feral human children unleashed or unrestrained (verbally or physically).

The beginning of a paragraph or other writing using an "I" at the start or left edge of document. Also, overuse of the letter "I" in a document.

Sty, style: dirty houses, period.

I don't mind a little clutter. A little.

I can't help it, I always look at my own houses, now apartment, through my mother's eyes.

That woman could spot a speck of dirt at 40 feet away. She would always be compelled to point it out.

My heart would always sink.

I never comment on someone else's dirty house. To me, that is rude and being a bad guest.

However, I am totally freaked out to eat their food and I see every speck of dirt on their glasses and silverware.

When I have company coming, you can only imagine the pre-cleaning that goes on.

My mother.

The gift that keeps on giving.

I agree Ayna, I would never say anything disrespectful to my host. I just quietly cringe in my head.

I spent a day cleaning my house before the pet sitter came over. I like to live in a clean and tidy house. :)

I have to laugh at this.

I even clean before the house cleaners come (when I hire someone for deep cleaning).

Everyone that knows me irl can't get over it.

First of all, I want them to spend time cleaning. Not picking anything up or changing my sheets.

Secondly, I would die to have them walk away saying "lord that house was dirty".

When it snows and people do not clean their entire car off. They scrap a little space on the windshield and back window. It's dangerous because you can't see the other vehicles around you. Plus the flying snow and ice coming off your car. Take the extra time and do it right!

Dont expect to return something with out a receipt and think your going to get full ticket price.

my neighbors stands outside his door puffing (and disgustingly hacking) right outside his door, (which is next to my door) so when i do happen to go in or out, i have to walk through his wall of stinky cheap cherry cigarillo smoke.

Not to mention if i am not out there, i have to hear him hacking.

As soon as I get a whiff of that stinky smell.

I really appreciate that California pretty much forbids smoking anywhere.

My apartment complex does not allow smoking in the apartments or on any of the grounds. It is cause for eviction if someone lights up.

People have to trudge out and away in order to grab a smoke.

It is one of the reasons I chose this place. Smoke is a big trigger for my asthma. I don't know what I would do in a place without any or very few laws regarding smoking cigarettes, pipes or cigars.

Pipes and cigars. Forget about it. Instant wheezing.

We have tons of people that vape in cars and outside of stores but I have not found that to be a problem for me.

When I am near a smoker I do worry about their high risk of developing COPD in time.

Sometimes, with a client, I have had to leave my door open because the smoke seems to have permeated all of their clothing and skin.

I try not to gag honestly.

I know it is a pretty serious and difficult addiction to break for many people.

Agree with all of you on the smelly cigarette smoke when entering/exiting public venues or even private ones, and abodes.

Like Anya, every time I see folks light up, I am thinking..in about 20 years (more or less) you will be so sorry you smoked. COPD is NOT pretty and is costly in so many ways(physically, monetarily, etc)....ay yi yi.....
