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

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 ?

[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.

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.

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.

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?!

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.

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.

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....

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

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.
