Pet Peeves

I'm going to have to sleep on this one. I have quite a few. I'm hoping to wake up and not have any.

I have a book entitled 14,000 things to be happy about, have always wanted to write one called 14,000 things that **ss me off, what are some of your pet peeves? I guess my #1 is people who can't make a decision and stick with it. Is is obvious I had a stressful day???

My number one is people with pet peeves. No. I change my mind. It's people without pet peeves. Never mind. I can't decide.

You know I could start a new thread on MY pet peeves alone.

JUST FOR STARTERS... I don't like when people tell me things I already know but they think I have no idea. It happens alot down here b/c everyone assumes I'm a tourist. i.e.- I know where Perspicasity is. I LIVE HERE!!

Destindreamin...I feel so much better!

Hmmm...I would say people who say they are going to do something and don't. People who I can't depend on drive me nuts.

People who can not make up their mind.

Opportunists.
Laziness (not to be confused with relaxing).
Phoney people.

Most of mine involve driving - starting with people who don't use turn signals.
Then people who talk on their cell phones while they drive (For that matter, people who do anything other than pay attention to the road. Putting on make-up, shaving and my personal favorite, reading!)

People driving slowly in the passing lane, and not passing anyone. Honk, Honk!

And leaving there blinker on...and they're not turning anytime soon!!

I really like how you call it the "passing" lane instead of the "fast" lane. There is no such thing as a "fast" lane.

Stay in the right damn lane until you need to pass. Pass on the left, then get back right. I don't care if you're doing 150, stay right until you have to pass because there is always someone driving faster than you. The whole thing would work great if people could figure this out.

Accidentally stepping in something wet on the floor while wearing only socks on your feet...gross. I don't know if that's actually a pet peeve, but it's irritating.

People passing me on the right when I am passing someone else on the left, going 85 in a 55.
In Atlanta you are always passing.

:funn:

Some more....

Vans. (Sorry if I offend you van drivers out there), but...you can't see around them and they tend to drive very slowly..i could go on and on.

Sitting down in a breakfast type restaurant and the table being just wiped off and still wet--yuck!

Answering machines at businesses...

Seawalls!

People who stand in line and wait, then act like it's a surprise they have to pay. They wait until the cashier is all finished ringing them up and THEN they go for their wallet --- or worse--- their checkbook!

Oh, and the guy at work who clips his toenails! I can't stand that sound!

No way, you're kidding right? His toenails? at work?! Eeeewwww.

Wal-Mart

Don't you love when while shopping, someone in front of you parks their big butt right in the middle of the isle to socialize with someone while you stand there trying to get by. I need to take an air horn with me next time I go to Walmart. Maybe a cattle prod

People who go under 20 mph on 30A.

LL, next time you go to Wal-mart, just head to the boating section first. They have the airhorns available. Just keep it in the buggy for that special moment. Remember to ditch it before you check out. Your exact example happened to me last week when I ventured into the terrible world of Wally. I am not an airhorn personality, so maybe I will head to the bicycle isle and pick up a ring-ring bell upon entering the store.

Not sure it's a pet peeve but it really annoys me. Waiting in line at the deli counter at the grocery store. There's usually people ahead of me, they want like 5 different things, the clerk is moving at a snails pace and I feel like I could be finishing my shopping if I could just place an order and come back. I think there should be a computer kiosk at the entrance where you could place your order for the deli or meat counter and then when you came to that part of the store you could just pick it up.

Great idea. I too hate having to wait, when I could be shopping. Send Publix an email with your suggestion. They are great at responding with action. I got them to sell reusable cloth bags, for people who are tired of seeing so many wasteful plastic bags, in their store at WaterColor Crossing. I also got them to carry 12 packs of Guinness. Your idea is great and feasible.

Or maybe I could head to the gun isle first and lay one across the top of my shopping cart. I bet that would work

Having to talk to a computer over the telephone.

"Thank you for calling ____________.
Please say English or Spanish."

"English"

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you.
Please say English or Spanish."

ENGLISH!

That is a great idea. I might suggest that to my Publix at home. It may also help with one of my pet peeves.

The folks that wait until it's their turn to actually give thought as to what they might want!
