Crumbs in the butter and other Pet Peeves!

Abigail Crabby · 02-26-2012, 07:52 PM

I read the thread and tried to think of some pet peeves...

I realized that I couldn't live with 98% of y'all cuz life is too short to worry bout butter in my jelly lol I spoon it out and get to the unbuttered stuff.

I guess my number one pet peeve would be someone trying to turn me into them.....

I put things away, I pick up things, I cook, etc......If I'm not doing it the way someone likes......they are more than welcome to do it - and forever

The roomie and I have already crossed this bridge - I'm not her, she's not me and I'm a functioning adult and able to continue to do so without directions lol

She's rather ocd about the cupboards and I respect that and put things back the way she arranges - but if I forget cuz I'm tired after work and she's had all day to rearrange something I misplaced cuz she doesn't, then I guess I would peeve about her leaving it as is to show and *correct* me.

I don't need correction because I don't do something someone else's way. My daughter had her own butter to avoid the Kidlette and I getting crumbs in it. It was about compromise and that works for me rather than my letting things like that upset my life.

Speaking from my *me* space.......

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.

puddin' · 02-26-2012, 08:13 PM

ooh, seems it got a tad larger hea den originally intended. but s'far as pet peeves go, i have only one major one... don't EVA leave me wit'out half & half fo' me coffee! full stop... beyond dat, we can work it out. lol

And I totally respect your reasoning - which is why we chose to have two sets of butter dishes - cuz the 10 year old just didn't think about it as much as her Mom did and out of respect we thought it better to just let her have her own butter so that she would feel good about her needs being met.

ButchEire · 02-26-2012, 08:43 PM

I don't have many pet peeves but one of my big ones is using words that aren't actually words. Case in point: SUPPOSABLY. Also, people who email, write or text using u, ur, and similar shortcuts. FFS, the actual words are only three or four letters.

you do get the irony that you used one of those shortcuts.....don't you?

Nothing makes me more angry than seeing our elderly population treated like children.

They are adults. Don't fix there hair on top of their heads like they are small children. Don't talk about them like they are not there or don't have a brain or ears to hear you. Don't get frustrated to the point of getting angry when they move too slow or don't understand what you mean the first time you say it. Walk away, gather yourself and resume in a calm, slow, distinct voice.

Don't scream at them if they are hard of hearing. Speak on their level, bend down, let them see your lips and talk slowly and at a low tone.

Our elderly are a blessing to have. We need to cherish them, listen to them and help them to the best of our abilities. And above else, treat them with respect.

Mr Nice Guy · 02-28-2012, 05:08 PM

If you break something tell me so I can either fix it or replace it. Don't wait for me to find out on my own. Sheesh!!

always2late · 02-28-2012, 05:12 PM

This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine....when I am on line at the grocery, or wherever, and the person in front of me is either on their cell or texting and totally ignoring the cashier who is speaking to them...there is NO excuse for a lack of common courtesy towards others!

JAGG · 02-28-2012, 08:28 PM

Every one does everything perfect at my house. I have no pet peeves or complaints at all. Nothing but harmony , peace and happiness here.

yes i never had any complaints about myself when i lived alone, well sometimes i drank out of the milk carton and ate out of the pots, but other than that i was just SOOOOO fantabulous to have as a room mate!

funkyfemme · 02-29-2012, 09:05 AM

Here's a biggun for me....

Attempting to reply to a text but before I can, I get four or five texts bam bam bam from this person while trying to hit back the very first one! That right there will send me over the edge. Almost makes me throw the phone (yes I could use anger mgmt) across the room, out the car window, just gggrrrrrr!!!! I ain't no fan of crack textin!!

Jett · 02-29-2012, 09:35 AM

Omg some of you would hate me lol. I have bad allergies and some days if I got up from the table to use the restaurant bathroom every time I needed to wipe or blow (with a tissue) the other half would be convinced I had the craps. Sheesh, you can't win... lol.

FYI and so I don't get mobbed I always sneeze/cough into the crook of my elbows, am very careful not to "spread the love" when I have a cold or flu...over all well mannered and considerate of others... so don't hate on the allergies... ha.

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

*Anya* · 08-10-2013, 08:16 AM

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.

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*

Crumbs in the butter and other Pet Peeves

People that are so discourteous that instead of being patient and letting you complete your statement or thought, they interrupt you. This is something most people learn, as a child, that is rude.
