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!

This is just the beginning . . .

1. Employees who talk on the phone to other people when I am standing right in front of them ready to go. Bonus points for never acknowledging me.

2. When someone in the house puts an empty container back in the refrigerator or pantry.

3. People that use the restroom and not wash their hands. :blink:


Wow . . . I suddenly feel much better!

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.

this drives me crazy too:pissed:

It takes them that long to get ready.

If I don't include people's driving habits, I would say that in my top 10 of pet peeves, is someone leaving their grocery buggy blocking the isle as they aimlessly look at all the food on the shelves, without acknowledging the presence of other shoppers. :bang:

Or, how about the ones that put their cart on one side of the aisle, then stand directly NEXT to it, reading all the labels on the items on the shelves on the other side of the aisle. They should put horns on shopping carts :roll:

Speaking of dyaing arts... I was thinking last night about music in the little 30a area. We were having dinner at the red bar and listening to jazz....we have all these acoustic folks... and people playing music in the area who are pretty good.
:roll: rub it in...HEY..this may just be a pet peeve of mine!!:floor: :floor: :floor: :floor: J/K...I hope you had a great time!

One of my pet peeves is: you are standing in a long popcorn line at the movie theater and another one opens up...and a person from the back of your line runs to the new line .....and looks back at the person who was in line with them and just smiles like "look what I accomplished" :pissed: :pissed: This happened to me....what does it teach kids about respect???

I really hate it when people pronounce salmon as 'sall mun'.

It's 'sa-mun'. The L is silent.

Much as when we say 'idiot', the O is silent.

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


That's what the National Safety Council says to do in their Defensive Driving Course...if someone is riding your tail, slow down and let them pass YOU!

Driving behind garage-salers on my way to work! This usually happens on Wednesday mornings during the spring-summer-early fall months; some of these people drive 5 miles an hour on a two lane road looking for the next garage sale sign and then slam on their brakes as soon as they see one. Can't pass them either, because sometimes they make a left turn without warning. Aargh!:bang:

What were they thinking?

So, my granddaughter and I are at the Ft Panic beach yesterday late...she has her sand pail, shovel, towel and I have my beach chair....we get up to play in the waves and when we come back:

Someone has draped a half closet full of clothes over my chair, parked an overflowing beach bag by my chair and this crowd of people are standing there yapping.

Turns out they were there for a photographer. White shirts, etc.

One of the men in the group said, "Oh, we put our stuff on your chair....."

No "Im sorry, Excuse me..." Nothing. And then as my granddaughter and I tried to reclaim our space on the beach....they continued to stand there discussing which shirt to wear for which picture!

The beach was not particularly crowded...it was 6 p.m. What a rude bunch of people! It was hard to explain to a 4 year old -- she kept asking why did those people take your chair, Granma....they didn't even ask permission!

I swear some people park their manners and their brains at the state line....:bang:

MY biggest pet peeve:

BAD TABLE MANNERS.

I have lost a few 'friends' and one boyfriend after I couldn't stand going out to eat with them. I mean- eating/talking with your mouth open/full of food, elbows on the table, stabbing/sholveling your food, sticking fingers in cheese dip, etc... OMG. It makes me cringe. :yikes:
