Pet Peeves

What are some of your pet peeves. What really drives you crazy!!!!

1. People that speak in baby voices. A girl I know does not eat lunch she eats 'wunch'.

2. Using foreign terms and pretending it is normal. A girl I worked with did a semester in England. She was away for 2 months and lived with all Americans. When she came back she referred to her house as her flat and the bathroom as the loo. Add on the fake accent I thought I was working with Madonna.

3. Cars with 1 license plate. I don't know why but it annoys me.

4. The denim suit. A denim jacket worn with jeans. It looks like a poor man going on a job interview.

Shout shout let it all out!!!!!!!!!

Wunch.

My DH calls the denim suit a 'Canadian tuxedo.' I think he got it from a movie - maybe Super Troopers?

I have about a million pet peeves but one of the worst is people who say 'hell-LO' when they are trying to get your attention. I think it's so irritating and rude. I also can't stand the girls at the gym who get on a machine for the sole purpose of staring at themselves for an hour in the mirror, burning maybe 5 calories while endlessly readjusting their hair and their thong. I'm sure I'll think of more VERY soon.

i HATE it when people cut me off driving!
i cant stand it

yours are pretty funny.....I can't think of too many since my brain is filled with mucus.....but to add to yours my sister is so freakin guilty of the foreign terms thing......my mom is from Finland and when we go to visit the Fam, we come back and she's referring to the bathroom as the 'WC'........god help us if she ever goes to London I'm sure she'll be calling her tv the tellie lol

my biggest pet peeve I can think of is using DOUBLE NEGATIVES!!!!! it makes me INSANE!! sentences like: 'I'm not going nowhere' which means you ARE going somewhere........I try to explain it to some people, but usually I'll just give up watching their lost expression......I know a lot of people are guilty of this, it took me at least a full year of annoying DH with correcting him and then he finally stopped.

I never heard canadian tuxedo Find out what movie that is I need to see it.

I am so with you about the gym people. Everytime I go to the gym the same girl parades around up the stairs down the stairs pretending to look for her same invisible friend. She is wearing a bra top and the whole time she walks around she stares at herself in the mirror. I am praying for the day that she trips because she is not paying attention to where she is going.

OMG I have so many... here are some eating ones, since its lunch hour... I reserve the right to post more as they come up!!!

Chewing and TALKING with mouth open and full of food. You sound like a horse, get a nosebag. Talk to me in between bites.

Sucking your teeth to get every last morsel. Use a toothpick you philistine.

Eating and talking on the phone. Particularly crunchy things like chips pretzels peanuts... OMG it sends me into the Cranky STRATOSPHERE.

Drink slurpers.

Sallys... the ones who drive your waitress CRAZY tweaking their order, well can i have it PLAIN with just a smidge of mayonnaise??? And by smidge I mean the amount that would fit between here and here on your pinky finger... Is it low fat mayo??? no wait, better put the mayo on the side, you know what forget the mayo and i'll just have it plain...

I eat alone a lot...

What are some of your pet peeves. What really drives you crazy!!!!

LMAO Cat..I love you. You're bigger b*tch then I am



1. RUDE self-absorbed people. We have an overabundance of NY-we are the land of plenty; plenty of @ssholes! The kind that knock you over into the street and then look confused ad then angry that YOU were in THEIR way.

2. Sleazy, broke, smelly, vulgar, thuggy EWW men who think they actually have something to offer ME, and whose disallusionment could be broken simply by looking into a mirror and realizing that unlike them, I still have all my teeth and I can spell H-E-L-L-O A-S I-F.

3. TOTALLY with you on both the baby voices and the foreign accents on people who are as foreign as Kellog's cornflakes. people2. Using foreign terms and pretending i

4. Women who match their lipstcik to their EYELINER not their lipstick or even their glosss.

5. People who can't smile for beans. One of the women who works in my colleg's registrar's office is infamous. She NEVER smiles. Reminds me of the women in REAPER 'Put the vessel on the mat'...You say good morning to this witch and she doesnt say it back. WHATS IT COST YOU LADY!!!!

6. People who chew with their mouths open

7. people who talk ON THE CELL in the BATHROOM! HELLO! DOing my business here!

LmaO I have more Cat..gotta think

LMAO Colette I have to tell you..I laughed out loud at that one. I spit out my gingerale as my boss walked by. Had to come up with an excuse.

You reminded me of the baby (Stewie) in that show KING OF THE HILL. Classic.

OMG you all have me CRACKING up!!

this is nasty.. but sometimes im on the phone with DH and i hear him peeing in the backround... its sooo disgusting..

Of course I thought of more:

1. people who say words wrong and don't realize it - like 'supposably'

2. people who hover, lurk, or otherwise engage in annoying behavior. especially when you work in a cubicle farm and there are people tall enough to see over the walls. we call it 'prairie dogging' - but anyone who has seen Rat Race knows there's a whole other meaning for that term...

I have been known to change my order but Im no crazy Meg Ryan Sally lmao. A friend of mine was; eating out with her and her husband was akin to converting an entire civilization en route to Sainthood.

For instance they both loved to order omlettes BUT they were so picky....

Her: 'Can I have my eggs not too runny but a little runny? You know just like a cat kiss damp not a dog lick wet? Thank you.'

Him: (with hand motions mind you lmao) 'Can I have mine with onions but dice em up like this (cue the hand motions makign little choppers) and take outt he spinahc, tomatoes, olives and cheese please.'

Waitress: So you want plain eggs with onions?

LMAO When the eggs came my friend sent them back because they were 'dog lick runny' and he picked out EACH AND EVERY PIECE OF ONION from that omlette.....the man ended up with scrambled eggs....they do it EVERY TIME!!!

OMG I have a MILLIOOOOOOOOON!!!

1. I concur on the baby voices-makes me crazzzzzy!

2. I cant stand tapping, like someone tapping a pen or their foot, DH does that leg rocking when he goes to sleep and I want to cut of his friggin leg

3. I hate when my sh!t is touched and not put back where it was found-this more drove me crazy at work then anything but DH does it at home and I go apeshit

4. When you put dishes in the dishwasher and you dont rinse them, my MIL did this over the holiday and I thought I was going to choke her, then she wouldnt turn the thing on so we would run it 3x

that is all I can think of at the moment

Thought of another one along the lines of people who use cell phones in the bathroom - coworkers who talk to you while you're trying to go!! Ok fine, you go out with a girlfriend and you go visit the facilities (or the LOO - lol) together and you chit chat, but a coworker who wants to discuss something work-related while I'm mid-stream drives me up the friggin' banana tree. Even worse is before I got married and random people I hardly knew would wait til I was locked in the stall and start in on 'so how's the planning going?'
