Re: Pet Peeves

*Men wearing flip flops! especially the thong ones
*Mustaches - i think they skeeve me out more than anything
*shorts and a sweatshirt
*The “I’m Gonnas” - People who say I’m gonna do this…. I’m gonna do that…. and never do any of it… so basically **** talkers
*People go call everyone their “best friend”

Re: Pet Peeves

Ohh i have tons but these are the first ones to come to mind:

*UGGS (sorry for those of you who own them) but wearing them w/ a jean skirt just really bothers me - what's the point???

* Kiddie leashes - I'm sorry, is your child a human or a puppy??

*Couples who go out to dinner and sit next to eachother - really?? i don't get what the point of that is

*Teeth sucking - it's rude and just not needed

*slow walkers - step to the side people

Re: Pet Peeves

I was just talking about this with my coworker yesterday. One of mine is when someone uses let's say the last pen and doesn't throw out the box, just keeps it there so someone else can throw it out!! It is so annoying!

Re: Pet Peeves

I have 3 big ones:
1- When people don't use their directionals when driving... or when they leave them on!
2- When my shoe eats my sock!
3- When I have to repeat myself over and over

Re: Pet Peeves

THAT is an excellent one. FH does this to me all the time.... and I'm talking calling right back before the missed call alert sound is even finished going off and he STILL doesn't pick up. W*T*F???

And Eloise, I'm totally with you on the sitting next to each other at dinner thing. BUT, I'm a BIG FAN of kiddie leashes. Some kids can't behave or stay near mom and they're necessary for their safety and MY sanity. (ooooh, I used 2 forms of there/they're/their in ONE SENTECE and I used them CORRECTLY!)

On to the main event.....

****JAMIE'S LIST OF PET PEEVES**** ... (that she can remember at the moment)...**AHEM**

1)Misusing grammar that I remember learning if 4th grade ('should of' , weary in place of leary or wary, apostrophes and quotes where they aren't necessary or proper, I could go on and on on this one...

2) People who drive in the right hand lane on parkways that have shortacceleration lanes and then get mad when you try and get into traffic and won't let you in. GET OUTTA THE EFFING RIGHT HAND LANE,DOUCHE!

3)PEople who see you're trying to change lanes and they drive on your rear quarter panel no matter how fast or slow you go.

4) People who smoke next to the sign that says 'No smoking within 20 feet of this sign'. I don't care if it's raining, doesn't change the sign, douche!

5) People who eat excessively smelly food in class or another confined space... I don't have a choice whether to be there or not, but you coulda eatn before class or eaten a plain bagel so I couldn't smell it for 2 effing hours!

6) People who argue because they're 'right'... and wind up not even arguing about the point you were arguing over to beging with.

7)When you invite someone to do something witha group and they need to hijack the plan (the time, the place, how you're getting there, who else is invited) cause nothing that was planned works for them. Dude, you coulda just said 'No, not this time, thanks'.

8) People who walk in the hall right in the middle or in a group and they're walking SO SLOW.... I have place to go! Move!!

9) When people are on the phone at the cashier. RUDE.

10) When the mailman leaves my mailbox open and it rains that day before I get home. Thanks bro, that's why you don't get a Christmas bonus anymore.

11) When people hold up the line at the gorcery store for the 30 cents they felt they should have saved off of something they don't need.
'How come the Totino's pizza rolls were $4.69??? I thought they were $4.39!' WGAF????

12) When people take up 2 spots in the parking lot. Even worse, And it's not even a nice car.

13) When people park so close to your car you can't open the door an they have 2987487298 miles of room on THEIR driver's side.

14)Double parking. Lazy *******.

14) People who chew with their mouth's open.

15) Being called 'excuse me' at work.

16) People who make left hand turns from not the left hand turn lane. I just waited through 4 effing light cycles to make this turn, why are you so effing special you get to make it from ALL THE WAY OVER THERE??

17) When a TV show airs a season premiere and 2 weeks later there's a repeat.

18) When I go to the store for something specific and it's not there but it's only not there cause it's on sale, and it's something I buy all the time regardless of if it's on sale.

19) People who think they know everything and that everyone else is always wrong.

20) People who bring their pets in the store. You dog is 4 pounds... clearly not an aid dog.. it doesn't need to be in Wal Mart. OR AT SCHOOL.

There are more. Plenty more. But I think I'll stop here for now.

Re: Pet Peeves

oh gosh, a huge one for me is if I give up a seat on the train for a pregnant/old person and they don't say 'thank you.' GIMME MY SEAT BACK PREGGO!

Same thing for holding the door for somebody and they don't acknowlege it.

THIS! It drives me nuts. Please people, learn the difference between good and well, bad and badly, they're, their, and there! It's NOT that hard! Usually, when I'm talking to someone if it looks like I zone out, it's because I'm correcting their grammar in my head!

Re: Pet Peeves

Sorry, now you got me going.

When OLD men leer at girls who are BLATANTLY underage.

This annoys me to NO end. PIGS!!!! I want to scream at them.

One time FH and I were walking behind this man with two girls. Some guy checks one of them out in a skeevy way and the man says 'She's 16!'

It's just sooo rude and NASTY on top of that.

I just retort 'You're welcome!'. I actually got in trouble for that at work recently! Surprise, surprise.

OOOOH, I forgot this one... people who think 'you and me' is wrong always, that it's always 'you and I'

ie, it's supposed to be 'between you and me' NOT 'between you and I.' It's NEVER BETWEEN YOU AND I!!!

You know who does this all the time? Kourtney Kardashian and I wanna reach into the television and slap her every time.

If anyone would like a subject vs direct object language lesson, I'll be happy to give it.

Because I'm the receptionist and I'm supposed to kiss everyone's @ss, but I refuse. So I gave the secretary an attitude and called 'You're welcome!' after her as she walked away. I did help her with everything she needed and she didn't say thank you, and it's a HUGE pet peeve of mine. But I did give her a bit of attitude. So she went to my boss. And I got written up.

WOW!!! That is completely 'G' rated to some of the matches that go on here. And nobody ever gets written up for anything it seems.

I hate when people dont acknowledge when you do something nice. Like in my previous post....if you let someone go in front of you while they are waiting to come out of a parking lot or something. JUST GIVE THE GD COURTESY WAVE!!!! When they dont, it always makes me reconsider letting them but of course its too late!!
