Crumbs in the butter and other Pet Peeves!

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

Constant bragging.

Social media braggarts (the worst!!).

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

), 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.

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

) 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.

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!....

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

Quote:

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 #humblebrag

Also, also, vaguebooking.

Quote:

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..."

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.
