Pet Peeves, Vol. 2

Sometimes when it gets really obnoxious I'll go stand or sit near the offender and start making comments/suggestions on their conversation. Then when they say "I'm sorry, this is a private conversation", you say "no it isn't, everyone can hear you!"

That's a good one!

God luv ya, NH!! When you get a husband, you won't have to wax your legs.

..no, you can wax his chest or your car!!!

people who throw still lit cigarettes out of cars on Highway 98 in the middle of a drought...people who do not know how to move through a four way stop.

I think I am going to suggest to the TDC that they put together another brochure for people...called, Having Good Manners While in SoWal.

Today in the 5 short miles from my home to my office, I witnessed the careless driver with the cig; the totally oblivious carload of young women almost cause an accident at the intersection at Gulf Place because they slammed through the 4-way stop; and to finish it off there was an out of stater poking along almost over the center line yakking on a cell while driving....

next summer I think I will leave for the mountains. The "touri stress" is getting to me

..no, you can wax his chest or your car!!!

Or he can wax his chest, my car, and my legs, and I'll retire.

I live in fear of these people because of my convertible top. (Nevermind the risk of forest fires and my lungs...)

Wanna house-swap next year? I'm between the mountains and the lake... (Disclaimer: there are trashy rednecks here, too. In fact, I think they're everywhere.)

Hey! I resemble that remark!!

Speaking of trashy rednecks...there is an abundant supply in my town. My peeve is that many of them have a blue tooth thing on, but children look like orphans. Really misplaced priorities!

Hey! I resemble that remark!!

no, no, no...not even close!

Lots of biotching going on here in this thread.

Isn't that what this thread is for?

Love this!

Love this!

I just sent you a special smiley on the other thread, but here it is again:

Loud frat boys at the Red Bar ruining my music consumption. One of my Sowal buds says any young man entering the Red Bar with a popped up polo collar should be turned away at the door. :funn: So true, my friend, so true.
(P.S. All us Peas miss you.)

This sounds familiar. This shirt sums up how I feel about the popped collar fad.

I so agree Toots, I love having my cell phone especially when I'm away from my kids but I do not talk on it constantly...I save the conversing for home and use my cell out of neccessity.

Exactly what I do. It is for my use in an emergency.

Okay, how about teenagers driving while on cell phones. Us ole timers are bad enough but then too throw a new driver behind the wheel with a cell phone. Gimme a break! Just seems real stupid to me.
Like an accident waiting to happen

McDonald's ( I only buy coffee there since the whole Louisiana McD fiasco)
assuming they know how much cream I want in my coffee and then adding SUGAR that I didn't ask for and me not discovering it til I got to work!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

The new Hoveround TV commercial. Its like watching synchronized swimming only with wheelchairs.

people who block the isles at the grocery store -- When I am waiting behind two other people with carts to pass, and I politely say "excuse us" a couple of times, followed by, "EXCUSE ME, YOU ARE BLOCKING TRAFFIC," don't give me the evil eye. You are the one blocking traffic and causing a clusterphuk and making everyone's shopping more frustrating, not me. Obviously, being polite to some people doesn't work and occasionally, we need to or in this case,

Won't do you much good to come to the mountains. We have rude, stupid tourists too, who throw out lit cigarettes (talk about forest fires), and stop suddenly on a busy two-lane highway because they think they see a bear. And they really can't drive on our curvy roads. Guess we will have to go to Death Valley to get away from touristos.

I believe the formal term for this is buggy bugaboo.

It was an off night at Publix - for once everyone blocking the way with their carts either apologized or was aware of it! I've come to regard those yellow and green kiddie carts as the "supermarket SUV".

Is this a low occupancy week? Seems very quiet for summer.

That is the crazy thing, Publix wasn't even very busy. The jam is in front of the deli. These two ladies, shopping together, each with their own cart parked side by side, with more buggies and peeps in front of the deli counter, looked at the four of us with buggies waiting to pass, as they searched the shelves trying to decide on a juice to buy. I thought one of them would move her buggy after seeing us waiting to pass. The lady in front of me looked very frustrated, but was scared to stir the puddin', so I spoke up for all of us, before the ladies gave me the evil eye, grabbed a juice and moved. I should have secret shopped for the two females. ( I really shouldn't call them ladies.)

:roll: I really wanted to come on this thread and complain about something but can't think of a single thing... I could say something about people who bug me because they always wear very neatly ironed clothing, but that would be unkind... Oh, Hey Mangy!
