It's been a while since we've talked about our pet peeves, and I think of new ones all the time. Today, it was..

Subway. (Trying to eat healthy). Man in front of me ordering 5 different sandwiches. Bless his heart, he had a list. Man orders 5 drinks too. I order my stuff. The sandwich makers get my stuff mixed up with his. Soooo, they have to unwrap all the sandwiches. :bang: THEN, this skinny wench comes in with 4 kids. BEFORE she even orders, she grabs 4 cups and those kids proceed to cut in front of the poor 5 sandwich man, who's now trying to get his 5 drinks. :bang: And, I'm still behind him. Now, I didn't care so much for myself, but that poor man! So that's my 2 pet peeves: food people who can't keep orders straight, and kids that have no manners!

People who crawl in the left lane on the interstate. I don't care if you are going the speedlimit-if somebody is behind you and wants to pass, GET THE HELL OVER INTO THE RIGHT LANE! Left lane for passing, right for cruising. Learn it, live it, love it:pissed:

I was in line at the pharmacy last Friday, or so I thought, when an older gentleman off to my FAR right a good distance from the counter and not anywhere near the waiting chairs, said to me in a very rude tone, "I was next." He then barged in front of me and sort of pushed me on my chest. Well in response I said, "And just so we're on the same page sir, I didn't ask."

So as with dd, my pet peeves are rude people.

Sometimes I purposely do that, especially if I am already doing well over the speed limit and someone attempts to ride my A$$. :roll:

i despise people who pull out right in front of me, especially if there is no one coming behind me. if they are in that much of a hurry, they should've left 15 mins earlier !

audie you are so right. This happens to me a lot too. To make it even worse, when they pull out, they usually come to a near stop they are going so slowly. Sometimes I think these are those folks who are out for insurance money and are simply trying to get one to hit them from behind.

Don't! All you will do is cause road rage. Call the state police on your cell and let them enforce the law.

People that pass me on a two lane road when I am going over the speed limit with a stop sign straight ahead.

I've got two:

One is people in line buying lottery tickets and scratch offs in a long line at the tom thumb.

The other is people who get ticked at a 4 way stop because they think that someone else went out of turn. My philosiphy (sp) about the 4 way is somebody just go! Geez... I'm like o.k. lets go back and we'll do it over and you can go first. The struggle for personal power shows in some strange places.

I've never been mad because someone went first ahead of me. But, I have been mad because someone showed their ass at me or someone else over this. IT SEEMS anyway most of the time they are on vacation. I'm like chill out Dorthy, your not in Atlanta anymore, your'e on vacation.

I don't get it... they'll wait two hours or more to eat mash potatoes at the red bar, but let them wait one to three seconds at a 4 way stop and their livid.

the old folks are notorious for this around here, i think they can't see well enough to judge distances. the young punks are the ones that i get so mad at and you are right, they probably want insurance money.

It's probably my MIL! :funn: I :wub: her, but will do almost anything to never be in the car if she's driving. It's always funn when the horn blaring and the one finger salutes start. :blush:

She doesn't cotton to suggestions that she should move to one of the slower lanes either. :bang:

I'm so with you on the lottery thing. Definitely need their own line!
OK, I am definitely shutting down. My battery is going, going, going....

I'm in the tolerant of old people, intolerant of punks camp myself. I'm also intolerant of Dump Trucks, but they're bigger than me :-).

It's especially funn on Friday afternoon in Atlanta on 285. I guess that's Ga.'s idea of the autoban. She actually thinks she's making people slow down. Well, she is. I hope it's never slow enough to get a good aim at her as they are whipping over to pass her on the right and hanging out the window to glare at her. :shock:

Here's my deal on that subject. THEY ARE INFORCING THE SPEED LIMIT NOW. And they are out in force. Hey I'm the first one to fudge, but I've been hit with the blue lights twice on 30A and speedy, my wife, got a ticket on chat holly.

So they'll just have to back off and get over it.

One of my biggest peeves is when someone calls a phone number back that they missed but is listed on their caller id and demands to know who called from that number! Drives me batty! If they meant to call you, they would have left a message.

My husband does this all of the time. Someday someone is going to pull out a gun and try to blow our heads off. So I'm always ready to duck.
