Crumbs in the butter and other Pet Peeves!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

Thank you, Chained Daisy. I am so glad that your daughter did not witness the ugly judgment of strangers.

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!

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.

Empty milk carton put back in the fridge instead of a bin...... Whhhhyyyy

Had a burger with onions tonight. The onions were cut in rings.

I like my onions diced and on the mayo so they stick to something and don't fall off the bun

[girl_dee]

Cigarette butts on the ground... UGHHHH

The boys do the same along with empty cereal boxes in the cabinet! Really? Like I want to smell the freaken crumbs left at the bottom of the box or something??? Maybe they thought I wanted to lick the remains on the plastic bag??? Thanks guys!

[Kätzchen]

A$$holes, in general.

As perfectly irritating as these types of personalities tend to be, I never take it personally. Their behavior wholly belongs to them. There's no need to respond or engage at all.

[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!

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!
