I'm sure at one time or another someone has started a thread about pet peeves. Heck, it could have been me, my mind is going, oooh, pet peeve number one, losing my mind.;)

Anyway, I'd like you all to tell me your pet peeves. For those of you for whom english is a second or third language, a pet peeve is something that gets on your nerves.

Mine?

- text talk.
- people giving reddies to others because they don't like the answer.
- people who post and change the color to yellow or fluorescent green. It makes it impossible to read. :(
- people who don't pick up after their dogs. If I step into one more pile of *&%#, I'm going to get seriously mad! ;)
- people who call you from a blocked number.
- telephone solicitors who won't take, go to hell, for answer. Okay, they won't take no for an answer, but I seriously want to tell them where to go. ;)

There are more, but I can't think of them right now.

So, what are yours?

Two off the top of my head... but I do have worse ones

I hate when people type the wrong spelling consistently
For example:
Than/then
There/their

I hate when people say (using starting point Pitts. Pa.)
I am going down to New York
I am going up to Georgia

People who tell me they'll call (not "I'll call you sometime" but... "I'll call you later tonight") and don't call.

People who are late... by a lot... with no apparent good reason.

People who don't answer simple questions with simple answers (i.e. - "Why do we need to go to the store?"... answers with, "Well, I woke up this morning...")

Sniffing.

Use a kleenex or a handkerchief, but stop swallowing your own snot where I can hear you.

OOo...

When people can't guess the "what is this?" pictures... (tee hee) :D

People who think a closed office door is an invitation to peek in the window to see if I'll open it because they just need a quick question answered.

I closed my damned door for a reason! It was because I kept getting interrupted with "just a quick question" from too many people! Go away!

Sounds like the easier people I have to deal with in life.
I do know what you mean by the Well I woke up this morning... and then I had eggs and bacon and a bagel for breakfast. Then I went to the bathroom and then I walked the dog and then my sister called but I was paying the utility bill over the phone and didn't switch to the call waiting. Then I thought about what to have for dinner. We need to go to the store for toilet paper.

Sounds like my neighbors. They either pound on the door like Task force or they go to the window and start a conversation like you already left them in.

People who randomly approach you at a coffee shop, start making conversation... then talk to you for 20 minutes.

... all the while I have EARPLUGS in my ears... and I'm CLEARLY studying.

NO YOU MAY NOT HOOK ME UP WITH YOUR 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER!!

I agree with all of them everyone. Except hooking me up with a 17 year old daughter, never had that happen. ;)

I hate people who think they can start up a conversation with you when you're obviously reading, whether you're reading a novel, a newspaper, or schoolbooks, it doesn't matter. Library rules, people! You don't interrupt others reading in a library, so don't interrupt people reading on their break at work!

Pet Peeve #1 - Visiting a gasoline station that offers pay at the pump and for unknown reasons employees there do not refill the paper dispenser forcing me to go into the store for my receipt thereby defeating the purpose of using the pay at the pump feature!!

Pet Peve #2 - Unsynchronized red lights thereby wasting time and expensive fuel at intersections!!

OoOo... so I'm a bit of a speed demon... (no tickets, no accidents, woo hoo!) and my absolutely biggest pet peeve...

When two old (not older, old... like they should be in a home old) people drive side by side on a two lane road... and go 5 mph BELOW the speed limit.

Oh the gas station reminded me of one of my bigger pet peeves.
I HATE when I have to pull into a really busy gas station and there are no available pumps,
The lot is tiny. Then you see somebody is done pumping so you pull up behind them and they open the trunk and start cleaning it out or they take their time getting in the car and then sit there and put make up on, talk to the passenger, talk on the cell phone or whatever for a minute or two.

Mine: no brake lights on the car ahead of me. Grrrr...

OoOo...so I'm a bit of a speed demon...(no tickets, no accidents, woo hoo!) and my absolutely biggest pet peeve...

when two old (not older, old...like they should be in a home old) people drive side by side on a two lane road...and go 5 mph BELOW the speed limit.

OR they pull out in front of you out of a parking lot you have to slow down from 35 miles per hour to 5 miles per hour and it is a one lane road and you can't pass. WHY don't they let you go by before they pull out if they only want to go 5 ot 10 miles an hour?

My pet peeves:

1.) If I'm living with someone and they leave ALL of their clothes on the floor, dirty or clean.
2.) When the dishes get so high that you have to climb a ladder to deal with them.
3.) When driving on the highway or a back road, it drives me bonkers when someone doesn't use their directional signal, especially those on the highway because that is dangerous.
4.) Drivers that weave all over the highway, don't even think about other drivers or causing an accident. They think they own the road with their stupid beamer. ERRR...
5.) When people call you (not you calling them) and don't even talk.

Oooh... the driving stuff reminded me...

When people decide they're going to turn (with a turn lane) or exit (with an exit lane) and hit their brakes/slow down BEFORE they're in that lane.

Seriously... the lane is THERE for you to slow down. Don't start breaking a 1/4 mile in advance so that I'm driving 30 down the highway because YOU are turning.

Ooppps, Synnen, I think I am guilty of that but I don't slow down 1/4 of a mile, I think it's more like a couple hundred feet before the turn. Is that okay?

It's those people that do it even when you can see plenty of room ahead of the turn to slow down in, in the turn lane.

If you have a straight exit (not a cloverleaf) for example, and you hit your brakes a couple hundred feet BEFORE the exit even starts, that's just silly. There's a couple hundred feet of EXIT to slow down in!

I mean, I slow down to take a turn. That's safe and logical. I just hate the people that start braking down to 20 miles below the speed limit while they are still ON the freeway.

I can add some for review:

The signs at my bank, in ONLY Spanish, in the center of the USA!
People who promise to do something, and don't.
Business phones that will NOT allow you to actually talk to a real human.
Credit Card Companies that raise your interest rate, by 15%, for being ONE DAY LATE.

Ok, now I'm feeling a little angry so I'll stop.

Oooh, I agree with the business phone peeve 100% prognur.

One time I had to go through 15 automated messages with stupid number selections, I kept getting redirected every time I made a selection. Finally, after being on the phone for 20 minutes, listening to options, pressing numbers, I was told, by a machine, that I would have to speak to one of their operators, then it hung up. So, how am I supposed to speak to an operator, that was never one of the options. ARRRRRRR!

Your pet peeve is so universal that someone has set up a web site to aid people in getting in touch with a human at companies. It's called: Gethuman - Home Page (http://gethuman.com/)

Thanks NK, I'll check it out. :)

Yep and the options never suit what you need.

I mean, I slow down to take a turn. That's safe and logical. I just hate the people that start braking down to 20 miles below the speed limit while they are still ON the freeway.

When I leave for the night, the route I take requires slowing down, even before entering the exit because most days the exit is backed up past the actual exit. Plus sometimes you can't see where traffic starts on that exit because of the cars in front of you so then your forced to slam on your brakes when you do see the beginning of the exit. I see what you mean when people do that. I meant that I slow down as soon as I enter the exit (when the white line vears off is when I slow down).

Those poke along people get ahead of you at the drivethru ATM too. I used to get really uptight about things in traffic, but my dr. told me about relaxation/guided imagary because of my blood pressure. So now where I used to blow my top, like waiting for a slowpoke, I now sit back in my seat and put both hands behind my head, put my feet up on the windowsill or dashboard, etc. Get really really relaxed on purpose instead of get tense by instinct. Play the Make it Worse Game: she's taking too long, I have to wait... Maybe she passed out and some stranger will ask to use my cell phone to call 911... maybe I'll have to wait and give a witness statement to the police... Maybe the ambulance will get here, then get a flat tire, and I'll be really late... etc etc until you have such a ridiculous picture in your mind you are laughing instead of frowning! What was the question again? Oh my peeve is people in line at the bank or the grocery store, they can easily see there are others in line waiting on them put they stand there chatting away to the teller or cashier about personal business because it's their friend. Also the employee who does it too, I mean she can easily say,I'm busy right now but I'll talk to you later. Also the cashiers in stores, you get to the front of the line, then they immediately answer the phone and spend ten minutes with that person.:o :p

I feel much better now, knowing my pet peeve is "so universal", thanks for that link, I'll bet I will need to use it before the end of the month!

Hmm my pet peeves are

-People that flake for no reason

-When people don't call when they say they will

-RUBBER NECKERS omg that one is so horrible.. people will look on the side of the road and slow down to look even if there is one car there and nothing is going on.. it's SOOO annoying!! I always honk at them when they get close to the "commotion" they just sit there and stare like IDIOTS!! Wow I'm mad now! Lol

When I leave for the night, the route I take requires slowing down, even before entering the exit because most days the exit is backed up past the actual exit. Plus sometimes you can't see where traffic starts on that exit because of the cars infront of you so then your forced to slam on your brakes when you do see the begining of the exit. I see what you mean when people do that. I meant that I slow down as soon as I enter in the exit (when the white line vears off is when I slow down).


See? That's the way you're supposed to do it!

Here are my two faves.

People who invite you to do something on the weekend (or whenever), but won't commit for sure to a particular day or time, forcing you to leave your own schedule open. Then they suddenly announce they have something else to do--like it's a beautiful day so they are going horseback riding, and no Saturday won't work because they are taking the kids to soccer camp. Nice, but I turned down two other invitations to see them!

People who change lanes in an intersection. Very common when people are turning left from two lanes to two lanes, sometimes even wandering from the left lane to the right and then BACK again. They should stay in their lane!

And yes I hate voicemail purgatory too. My worst problem is that I tune out while the menu is being read to me, so I have to call back to hear it again because by the time they got to my problem I was thinking about something else and didn't hear it. :)

When people (mostly chavs) play music off their mobiles really loudly like so all the people within 15m have to listen to it and its not even something good

I hate people who slam doors.

I hate people who get distracted during conversations and trail off on to something TOTALLY unrelated; especially when I have work to do.

I hate people who insist a project/task must be done NOW... and then they don't look at it for three weeks.

I hate people who turn the volume up on the TV so loud you have you shout to have a conversation.

I hate people who think ignoring their screaming child in a public place is acceptable parenting.

I hate when someone cuts me off in traffic, and I lay on the horn, and THEY flick ME off!

I hate people who drive 5 mph under the speed limit in the left lane.

I hate people who slow down to 15 mph when it rains/snows/is cloudy.

I hate people who rubberneck. I really, really hate people who rubberneck.

There's more... I'll save them for later! :)

Jillian... are you SURE you're in Virginia and not Seattle?

Allheart's Pet Peeves -

- People who are unkind - judgemental - can't put themselves in someone else's shoes for 5 seconds.

- People who don't like you because of the way you look

- People who take advantage of nice people and push them around

- People who ask "Did you get your hair cut" - You answer = "yes" and they say "oh". Hello!! If you don't like it don't even bother asking.

- People who make life more difficult for others, when it doesn't have to be.

- People who mock you when you are in a crowd, because of their own insecurities.

- People who can't embrace differences of other people.

- People who know you are busy up to your eyeballs and mock you for working so hard and do all they can to distract you, because they are bored with their work.

- People who just can't understand that everyone has feelings, everyone hurts, and putting others down, is not the way to feel better about yourself.

- People who are spend so much time ridiculing others shortcomings, instead of taking the time, to work on their own shorcomings and trying to better themselves.

= Women who don't support other women. When a women gets promoted, there always seems to be a group of women clucking " I wonder how she got that job". Argh!!

- People who talk down to people.
- People who mistrust, genuine love, care and concern coming their way. Question it and reject it as "phony".

- People who find joy at other's misfortunes.

- People who are in such a rush, that they can't share a smile.

- People who get upset at the elderly because they are moving to slow in front of them. That will be all of us someday.

- And lastly - People who fail to realize that this life is temporary, and it won't matter what material things you have gained, what accomplishments you have achieved, what money you accumulated - because all of that will be left behind, and the only thing that will remain, is if you shared all the goodness in your heart, an embrace, a kind gesture or word, did you make a positive difference, or negative one. Did you lift someone's spirit, or break their spirit. Did you lend a hand when needed, or were to blind to see the need.
And did you count your blessings and be grateful or did you desire someone else's blessings. Did you dry a tear, or cause a tear? Did you realize how special you are and how special others are or could you only see faults?

And lastly :), and this is something that I do try and work on myself, is to have more understanding, to care for, and not get upset at those who do cause pet peeves, as they are the same as us, and may just have painful issues, or actual reasons they do the things they do.

Final thought - to make someone smile, can last for miles, causing a tear, could last for years.

*People who SLUUURRRPPP their soup off their soup... is it really necessary... if it's too hot... wait a little...
*People who GULP they drink.. (I obviously have issues with people making sounds when they eat of drink)
*People that box me in when Im driving when they obviously see Im driving faster and trying to pass them
*People with a screaming crying or tantruming baby/child in church/resturant/etc. that doesn't remove the child from the place until the child calms down a bit.

^^^off their spoon... not off their soup..

jeeezzz... I seriously have major typos in this message board... lo siento! :(

Oh, I have many..
(1) Bad drivers or should I say ignorant drivers who bully and drive like lunatics.
(2) Text talk - my response to any texts in that manner is 'LOL RFOL brb B4 Great your text sk8r'
(3) Ignorant people in general - queue skippers, people who won't acknowledge you for holding a door or some other civility.
(4) Umbrellas - they should be classified as a weapon, especially with anyone under 5'8"
(5) Ticket touts

Allheart's Pet Peeves -

. . . And lastly :), and this is something that I do try and work on myself, is to have more understanding, to care for, and not get upset at those who do cause pet peeves,

Wow! What a great list, Allheart!

I'm quoting back these two because I learned this the hard way.

After I had a spinal fusion, I had to drive my kids to school. I drove very slowly--the speed limit (25) or just under because the potholes on my road were agonizing. (I would cry on the way home from the pain). Yet, several people on my road would tailgate me and even honk at me for a half mile down our narrow road because I was driving too slowly. One young women (a neighbor!) tailgated me and honked, then passed me and flipped me off, basically because I was driving 22 mph for a few hundred yards in front of her. It was awful to be the target of so much hostility when my only crime was to be in pain. I thought, "So this is what it's like to be old."

It's fine to be peeved by little things; it's not fine to harass the people who commit these little sins. They may have a difficult situation, just lost someone they love, or be sick or in pain. There are so many reasons we do things that annoy others.

Websites that won't allow spaces in credit card numbers. It's a computer we're talking too, it can remove the spaces.

Or you type the number in without the spaces and discover it wants all the hyphens and you have to go back and put them all in!

Sniffing.

Use a kleenex or a handkerchief, but stop swallowing your own snot where I can hear you.

This cracked me up beyond description. Holy crap.

Man... can I have two quotes by syn in my sig? Is that a crush?

I might have even spit on my screen while laughing. Is that wrong? Its body fluid, but not snot gargling.

Honey, if you don't know it's a crush by now, you're never going to ;)

Peeves o' mine.

Well, I'm a hot tempered irish guy so most of the world pi$$es me off much of the time.

After someone else does something wrong or bad, people who say to you "i'm sorry" in the tone of "i'm really sorry you are an a$$hole" or "i'm really sorry you caught me" ticks me off. A snotty tone and rolling eyes doesn't complete an apology.

People who stand in line for ten minutes at the checkout lane and then, only after all 83 items are scanned, they begin searching for some possible means of payment. As if paying was a surprise. Get out the rubbles early instead of browsing the check-out lane sleeze mags.

15 or 65 year old clerks who, after scanning all my groceries, ask for my ID for the vino or beer only after... and its always, like 3 seconds after... I put my wallet away. Seriously... ask me during the minute I'm in front of you with my wallet out. It was fun when I was 21... 23... after that, its boring. I have a kid in college, a kid in preschool, a mortgage, and a ten year marriage... YOU should buy me a drink!

Toilet paper dispensers in public places that are too low, too far away, too empty, or so tight you can only get 3/8th of a sheet with any pull. I don't like using the public bathroom to begin with. Can we at least agree that my being able to clean my delicate arse is in the best interest of all of humanity? A chaffed irish jerk is of no use to anyone.

People who write out their life story here and never, ever use the return key. Sure... I think its fine to ignore caps and other rules of writing... but really. Space it out.

16 year olds who think they know enough to post in adult sexuality on AMHD.

I can tolerate chat speak A LOT more than people who use "uhm" or "like" all the time. "so we, like, went to his house, and i was like "no way" and he was like "why not"... you might as well just pluck nose hairs out with dull tweezers. Don't know if dull is worse, just sounds, uhm, like, worser.

-When I make dinner and no one eats it... are they trying to tell me something.. hmmm
-When a person claims someone else's artwork as their own.
All art is beautiful, You can't go wrong with art, so why not come up with their own stuff... baffeling to me.
-When I can't think of all my pet peeves:p

KP, I'm laughing so hard I think I peed my pants, and peeing my pants is a personal pet peeve of mine. :(;)

AKaeTrue, I hate that too.

I actually do oil painting and charcoal, I also do woodworking. My friend tried to open a business selling tables and such, he has a website. I kept asking what his website address was so I could look at it, he'd never tell me. Finally I found it, only to find that out of the 3 pictures he posted as his work, 2 of them were actually my work. I still can't believe it.

He also asked me to give him one of my pieces as he was short a Christmas present for a family member one year. He tried to pass it off as his, but ha, ha, the joke was on him, I burned my name and the date in the back. :)

Okay, ALTENWEG I LOVE YOUR POST.. and everyone.. GREAT Peeves...

LOL.. have laughed too many times here already.

Okay,

*The person who drives down the road forever and ever and leaves their blinker on (even worse, the very few times that person ends up being me)

*When people just show up at your place uninvited (especially when they get upset if you are busy or not receptive at that time)

*When someone knows you have something important in your day or what have you and when you see them they go on forever venting about their day and then just walk away.. it's like, THANKS FOR FRICKEN ASKING

*When people try to force their opinions on you - sharing isn't enough - force and be pushy... ARGH

*When you really need a hug and nobody senses that

Tralyn, do you need a hug? ;)

Paper towel dispensers that are high up, so that water has dripped into your sleeve before you can get hold of one.

I really hate those computer phone-screening-directionals... "If you are stupid, press 3, if this anal retentive machine is pissing you off, press 4, to talk to another computer voice, just say agent..."

People who spit and think that they are cool. Sorry Synnen, I'd rather they swallowed it than spit by my feet.

People who roll their eyes because they "know more than you."

Clerks who speak 90-miles-an-hour with a bad accent.

Oh, I don't care if they swallow it. I just want them to not vacuum it up through their nose in the first place. I carry Kleenex everywhere and hand it to people, and say "Here--I'm sure you don't want to have all that snot ruining your appetite like you're ruining mine".

New pet peeve to list for me: People who respond to thread that are a YEAR and a half old, and then argue that they're justified in posting because the OP was a bad person---and the OP hasn't been back in that time.

Okay, ALTENWEG I LOVE YOUR POST.. and everyone.. GREAT Peeves...

I think I've got another quote to insert in my sig line

i think ive got another quote to insert in my sig line


:eek: :D

Woohoo! It IS a crush!

Tralyn, do you need a hug? ;)
LOL.. maybe I do! : )

... People who suck in their snot... heavily suck in their snot and then swallow. I literally gag.

*Farmer Blows - ICK!

*When people put koolaid or juice back in the fridge and there isn't even an 1/8th of an inch left at the bottom of the pitcher

*When the toilet paper roll doesn't get changed

I agree with the rolling the eyes one too.. drives me crazy

Big major hug for you Trayln :)

Second peeve: (and not necessarily in this order) The cops not responding, when you call them in the middle of the night, because they think you are only being a pain, and tell you that you don't have any proof that your ex is stalking you, and calling at 4am, and then you find out your vehicle is ripped apart the next morning!

Oh mine just loses everything period! :mad: I've given someone advice, and put a lot of thought into it, and also had another program that I was working on earlier, that I hadn't saved yet... and CRASH!!

People who mow their lawns at 6am, and blast their music at the same time!. on a Saturday morning... and yes... I'm talking about this morning! But this has not been the only morning! ;)

Flies and mosquito's in my house!

When the city keeps on changing the days for garbage pick-up!

Flies, oh yes, flies, I hate those nasty little buggers. Arrrr, where's my rolled up newspaper?

Hee, hee, Starby and Sneezy, you two are crazy, love it! :)

Flies, oh yes, flies, I hate those nasty little buggers. Arrrr, where's my rolled up newspaper?
Hmmmm : you are oldfashioned !
In 2008 we use a type of tennis racket with electrified meshwire that fries them !

:p

·

Alty has one of those electrified thingys! She can't seem to get them, and when she does, she says her house just smells like burnt flies! HA!

I believe the flies have chosen my house as their final resting place! I have a fly cemetery! #*#& I am going to start to charge admission dammitt!

::secret weapon... wasp spray!:: Gets them every time! But it gets the ones you didn't even know about too, and you find them in all sorts of places.

Hmmmm : you are oldfashioned !
In 2008 we use a type of tennis racket with electrified meshwire that fries them !

:p

·

Bad thing about the electric one, you have to be really precise in order to get those little buggers, and it doesn't really kill them, it just shocks them and then you have to deliver the final blow. ;)

Also the smell, yuck, burnt fly is not a pleasant odor. ;)

It is fun to zap fruit flies though, they spark. :)

I still prefer the old $1.00 plastic fly swatter, even though you have to be careful where you aim when smacking them, I've lost a few treasures using one of those contraptions.

Alty has one of those electrified thingys! She can't seem to get em, and when she does, she says her house just smells like burnt flies! HA!

I believe the flies have chosen my house as their final resting place! I have a fly cemetery! #*#& I am going to start to charge admission dammitt!

::secret weapon.............wasp spray!:: Gets em everytime! But it gets the ones you didn't even know about too, and you find them in all sorts of places.

Starby, I told you, I can't use the wasp spray, I have pets, and kids. I'm sure the dogs would be fine, but the bunnies, I'm not so sure. ;)

Sooner or later I will get all those nasty little flies, yes I will, I will declare war on them, or give them an eviction notice! ;)

Have I mentioned the moths? Every time I open my door, 600 fly in! I've already seen Maple Bugs already! It's not even close to cooling off. It was over 40 (100) degrees here yesterday, and got pretty close again today!

Another pet peeve. People that walk by your house, and stop on the sidewalk near your door, and crank their neck to look inside to try and see what your house looks like inside, and what you're doing, and while they are doing that, their dog is sh*tting on your lawn!

Starby, you need water balloons, yup, they work every time. ;) Or, you could simply go outside with a bag go up to the guy, introduce yourself and then hand him the bag and nicely say, "Oh, this is for your dogs crap".

Another pet peeve of mine, neighbors who let their dog poo on your yard because they don't want to wreck their yard. My solution, pick up the poo, put it in a bag, bring it to the neighbor and say "you left this at my place." Of course I only do this if I actually see the neighbors dog poo on my yard.

Flies, okay they are quickly becoming my biggest pet peeve. Shoo fly don't bother me, shoo fly don't bother me, shoo fly don't bother me... Argh! I'm okay, really. :);)

Can I use my shovel that I use to pick up Niki's poop, and go out and just hit the guy over the head with it? Or can I just put the poop on his doorstep in a paper bag, and set it on fire, and then blame it on the other neighbor? :p :p

Ahhhh another one...

When you bring your elderly love one to the ER... get a bed... ahhh, YES finally the doctor appears...

Hi, I'm Doctor So and So... the doctor looks out your elderly love one and IMMEDIALTELY starts talking so loud the hospital in the next county can hear him...


And the Doctor begins... loudly asking WHO... IS... THE... PRESIDENT... WHAAAAT YEAR ISSSSS IT..

Psssst Doc - Thanks bundles for the Q & A, but when you are through, could you take a minute and look at his foot that his bleeding, as he accidentally stepped on glass, that's kind of why we brought him here. I'm sure he won't mind answering your questions... once you stop the bleeding :):)!!

Ahhhh, yes NH!!

First peeve:................My Puter when it crashes and I'm in the middle of doing something!

Second peeve: (and not necessarily in this order) The cops not responding, when you call them in the middle of the night, because they think you are only being a pain, and tell you that you don't have any proof that your ex is stalking you, and calling at 4am, and then you find out your vehicle is ripped apart the next morning!
This is so much more than I ever wanted or needed to know, but thanks for sharing.:eek:

Yeah don't you hate it when you just typed out a long page and hit the submit button and crash you lose everything. I panick until I see the foxfire button say do you want to restore session :D
This happens all the time to me. I think it works like a telephone line, if someone is trying to call you like to feedback or post on one of your subscibed posts, then you get a busy signal like that. What is easy, type a sentence or 2 then send. If you hit the jackpot then hit EDIT and finish the post so you don't forget what you wanted to say

Bad thing about the electric one, you have to be really precise in order to get those little buggers, and it doesn't really kill them, it just shocks them and then you have to deliver the final blow. ;)

Also the smell, yuck, burnt fly is not a pleasant odor. ;)

I ended up with extremely obese toads hanging around my bug zapper to party:eek: , and they scream when you swat them with a fly swatter. Yellow sticky flypaper, the cat gets herself tangled up in.

Pet Peeve #1 - Visiting a gasoline station that offers pay at the pump and for unknown reasons employees there do not refill the paper dispenser forcing me to go into the store for my receipt thereby defeating the purpose of using the pay at the pump feature!!!!!!

Pet Peve #2 - Unsynchronized red lights thereby wasting time and expensive fuel at intersections!!!
Ohhhh, in Oregon they do this at the gas stations and I wonder why in the hell can't I pump my own gas? I agree with this one!:)

How about when you are driving alone, and get a flat tire, or are having car probs, and people drive by and either pretend not to look, or they start laughing? That's always a nice one.

I pull over... I know its not safe... tell me not to do it and well, I may skip a few here and there but not all!

How about negative A-holes... they drive me mad! But it sure is nice when you can get them to smile... huh?;)

Sadly, I live in atlanta... and as much as I want to stop and help, I hear WAY too many stories.

I never stop to help motorists. I'm usually a single female, by myself, alone--no way, Jose.

I do, however, call the police :D

I guess because I live in a smaller city, it's more about people snubbing their nose at you. I wouldn't stop in a place like Atl. or say Minn/St Paul either! No way!. no how... not a chance! Remember the story I told you Sneezer? Eeeeekkkk! Scary truck drivers!

I never stop to help motorists. I'm usually a single female, by myself, alone--no way, Jose.

I do, however, call the police :D

Hee hee, Synn... I just had to giggle. You said you are "usually a single female". I can just imagine you driving down the hwy. and seeing a broken down motorist, and popping the trunck, and Bubba or Jose, pops out with a monkey wrench, and says... how can I help you boys? Maybe I've been looking at too many puzzles tonight!. I'm getting silly! ;)

Just added one this morning...

Little girls who have extremely expensive gadgets and don't know how to work them in the first place... i.e. - a blackberry.

... Parents, DO NOT... buy your kid a $400 phone if all they want to do with it is take pictures and listen to music and spend another $150 a month on texting.. . it pisses the rest of us off who actually use the phone for its functional uses.

Parents that buy their kids the cell phones, and then wonder where their kids are because they have turned off their phones, or on both lines and texting their friends and too busy to answer!

REOWR!

Well. Off to help my friend move in.. . keep on reowring.

Have a good day Sneezer!

Construction that starts at 7 AM, after a weekend concert that ended at midnight.

Why is it okay for the city to break the rules about noise ordinance, but not everyone else? I'd like to see the mayor live across the street from this park, frankly.

One more step (back) and you use these old glued sticky fly catcher rolls again...

Ooo I got a good one...

You're cruising along a back road/highway, not really expecting the worse to happen when all of a sudden you **SLAM** on your breaks and then think to yourself, 'Gee I need new breaks soon.' Now your stopped. You try to look around the car in front of you just to see what all the commotion is about. You sigh; there are about 100 cars in front of you. After a half an hour goes by, you and the rest of traffic going under 10 mpg finally start to pick up. First 15 then 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 and your back on track. By now you are so frustrated. You think to yourself, 'How can I be cruising at such a nice speed, stop for that long and then traffic picks up again? You look around for evidence, hoping to see an accident. About a mile up the road a cop has somebody pulled over. ARG!

Traffic slows down for the stupidest things, I tell you. Drivers automatically think that they will get pulled over by the already occupied cop when they go 5 miles under the speed limit.

When people walk into where I work and they are on their cell phones or texting and can't even get off to tell me what they need or want... how RUDE! I always say goodbye before I start to talk to someone. I think we out of remember our manners people! (unless it is an emergency of course... lol)

I'm guilty of that one! I often talk on my cell phone in the grocery store and Target and the gas station and pretty much anywhere I'm running errands. I live a very long way away from a lot of my friends--in one case, there is a 7 hour time difference. We've got this thing, several of my friends (plus my mom!) and I, where we go shopping "together" by going to the same store and talk on our cell phones.

I figure that if, as a childless person, I have to deal with the rudeness of screaming children in the store then other people can put up with me on my phone.

I do, however, put the person on the phone on "hold" when I need to speak with a clerk or cashier.

Synnen, you know how to act busy in a polite way. Some 'busy' people drive me NUTS! They think that because they have so much work to do that you aren't busy too. They just assume that you will do everything for them.

I got delayed for an extra 15 minutes on my way to work last week because... there was a mattress on the side of the road. Not IN the road, not ON the road, not in the LANE... on the side. Stupid rubberneckers!! :mad:

I also hate people who smack their lips when they eat and gulp when they drink. Yuck.

When you are driving down the road and look over only to see someone (or someone's kid) picking their nose. Gross! (although my kids have prob. Done it from time to time ;) )

AND-if it is the driver doing it, they tend to then swerve (sp?) all over the road-looking for somewhere to wipe it or flick it.

UGH! I am gagging here-but had to share.

When the garbage men come, and don't take your garbage, because the containers weren't sitting directly on the edge of the lane, and they couldn't be bothered to walk the other foot or for that matter just reach. Then they take the time to leave you a sticker, with a warning to put it out on the very edge of the back lane!

Ok. This may sound dumb, but it has bothered me for years and years...

How in the hell did that girl in the Guns N Roses-November Rain video die?? :confused:

People who eat with there mouth open I have no bloody wish to see what's going on in that hole full of germs thank you.

People who don't take care of there personal hygiene and inflict there stench on others...

I hate it when the toilet paper roll is empty but I didn't notice it until it was too late, that's so annoying for a girl!

Also I hate it when I wash my hands (at home) and go to dry them and the towel is missing, and I have to wipe my hands on my pants, ARGGG!!

My pet peeve's

Parents who have perfected tuning out their brats and don't realize or care their children are running around like savages and annoying everyone in the restaurant or where ever I may. If your kid is 9 and he/she is running around a restaurant I will say something to you!! I have made many a parent walk out of restaurants cursing me out under their breath because I pointed out to control their kid.

Lateness I hate when people are late or if someone makes me late for something that annoys me to no end.

Putting shoes on my couch. I know my couch isn't that expensive but still if you want to put your feet up take off your shoes. I don't know where you have walked and I don't want to sit on it.

People who wear WAY too much cologne/perfume.

I mean, smelling good is fine. Marinating in it is YUCKY!

Milk that goes sour long before the due date!! Yessss, I just took a big gulp! Sorry for the ewwwwww factor!

Ah the loo paper thing is a common occurrence here because my lovely husband has an imunity to putting on a new roll gggrrrrr

One more step (back) and you use these old glued sticky fly catcher rolls again ...

Cred, any idea if they still make those? I think I need some of those. ;)

Accidentally brushing your teeth after drinking orange juice.

Accidently brushing your teeth after drinking orange juice.

How do you accidentally brush your teeth KSS? LOL! ;) I know what you mean though! How about grabbing a drink and thinking it's juice, in a dark glass, and finding out it's milk, or something totally unexpected! :eek:

Want to know? My short-term memory is the pits. Professionally documented.

Heck, I forget where I parked the car in a small parking lot.

Oh, I have another! Flyers, junk mail, a mailbox that is stuffed full of crap every single day, even though you have a note posted that says no more flyers please!. and the obvious one that follows that!. people that can't read!

Wanna know? My short-term memory is the pits. Professionally documented.

Heck, I forget where I parked the car in a small parking lot.

Huh?. car... did I drive here, or did I... wait, what color is my car?. sorry lady, I thought that was mine! And then of course if I happen to find it... keys?. did I bring keys?. I must have brought keys! :rolleyes: :D

Grabbing a glass of apple juice on the counter and realizing it's your neighbor's son's pee.. . what, he couldn't find the frigging toilet?

Sneezy, please tell me that's never happened, lie to me if you have to.

I have a sign on my door that says "no solicitors" every week I get someone ringing my bell, usually at 7am, trying to sell me something.

I open the door, they start their speech, I point to the sign, they look at me confused. I explain that I put the sign up for every solicitor, including them. Most times they stare at me confused because they have no idea what solicitor means. Really?

Now I have a dictionary on the step by the door inside my house, when I point to the sign and get a confused look, I open the dictionary, it's earmarked to the correct page, and pass it to them, I wait until they're done reading, say have a nice day and close the door on their poor confused faces. Someone's got to educate these people. ;)

I might be a little politically incorrect here, but the "JW's etc." that come to your door in their suits and ties at 7am on a Saturday or Sunday, and want you to read their litterature, and preach hell fire and damnation!

Starby, really, take my advice, just tell them you're sacrificing a virgin, they'll leave so fast you won't know what hit you. ;)

Starby, really, take my advice, just tell them you're sacrificing a virgin, they'll leave so fast you won't know what hit you. ;)

Or... have your new husband and his best man dress in the bridesmaids dresses, and meet them at the door! LOL! ;)... oh yes I did! LOL!

Tell them that you pray to the dark lord and he's waiting in your basement, but they can feel free to come inside, if they dare. ;)

Ooh, we're getting mean Starby. ;):)

People that can't take a joke! ;) A very common pet peeve of mine!

Ooh, we're getting mean Starby. ;):)
Sweet.

Alty gets me riled n bothered again talking all goth.

If only it were a double dog dare...

Double dog dare, double dog dare! :D

Another pet peeve, all my friends being off line while I'm on. :(

Where is everyone?

Over here :D

M, my friend M. Looks like it's just you and me again big guy. :)

Double dog dare, double dog dare. :);)

LOL... what am I being dared? :)

Double dog dare, double dog dare. :);)
You just made it on my sig line twice... tied with syn... guess my crush is twofold.

Chickfight? ;)

Blush, gosh, is it love?

Synn, rock, paper, scissors, best 2 out of 3 wins KP. :)

LOL....................what am I being dared? :)

What do you want to be dared? Down Alty, bad girl! ;):D

Just for that I'm playing Back That A$$ Up on my itunes followed by Get Low...

Just got to love it when the week starts like this.

Nowhere but down from here.

Xoxo

Going down isn't always bad. ;) Was that out loud? :eek:

Uuhhhmmm... yes it was :eek:

Kp looks like you've got alty in one of those moods :rolleyes:

LMAO... I'll just leave now:cool:

Going down isn't always bad. ;) Was that out loud? :eek:

Did you really say that out loud? Alty Alty Bo Balty, Banana Fana Fo Falty... well you get the idea... LOL! Alty are you having a beer?? ;)

Going down isn't always bad. ;) Was that out loud? :eek:

See... girls are mean like that!!

You say "going down" and a boy thinks "its going to happen"... and if its just a tease, it doesn't matter. Its locked and loaded.

Mentioning sex doesn't obligate... but it sure as hell fries the neurons of any hot blooded boy. Over and over and over.

Crap.

Now how the hell am I supposed to go to sleep??

Well, I'd post the definition too. And while your at it post the Spanish translation too. You know the new language of the US is Spanglish.

The best or is it the worst sign I saw on a house, in a major city, was "No hookers allowed". It was professionally done. "They" wouldn't know what soliciting meant either.

Maybe they were starving fishermen?? LOL!

I'm still bothered.

And what is it with my needing a backhoe loader??

Why does Google think this thread ties into heavy machinery??

Crapolla. My fav crayon color.

If I sleep like crap tonight you only have yourself to blame.

Aw, poor KP, did I frustrate you? Turnaround is fair play my dear, do you know how many times I've gone to bed tossing and turning because hubby's at work and one of your posts got me all hot and bothered?

Hee, hee, one point for Alty.:) 25 points for KP. :( I'm catching up though. :)

Uuhhhmmm..........yes it was :eek:

Kp looks like you've got alty in one of those moods :rolleyes:

The Batman stole ma baby! :eek:

(nobody but Alty and you are going to know what that meant are they?. LOL)

Starby, that's a chicken, not a duck. ;)

I had an affair with a chicken okay? Did you really have to tell? :p

I also had an affair with a few cocks too! No one needs to know!

Kids, some help needed here. We have a gaggle of trolls on the site right now. Apparently someone joined, gave some bad advice, started complaining about the site and ultimately was banned. Now a whole group of people are signing on either under the same IP address or others to reek havic on AMHD just because this one person was banned. Of course they are being banned as soon as they are caught, but they are going around giving disagrees left right and centre. I've been trying to give balancers to most, but now I got one, a balancer anyone? :(

Glad to help a brother (yer hubby) out. Hope his welcome home was memorable.

I've always told my betrothed... all I want for any holiday, any birthday, and special occasion for me... I want cute panties and a matching bra (for her, of course) and off site childcare for a few hours.

A couple bottles of korbel brut chilled would be nice too.

Some guys like power tools for dad's day. I want panties.

Preferably on the floor by the bed.

What the hell was my point? Good thing I'm cute cause my brain is getting dumber by the moment.

Oh, one thing about the trolls I mentioned. Don't engage in conversation, I made that mistake already, their posts will be deleted soon enough anyway and so will yours if you reply to them. Just help me give balancers to the people they give disagree to, please? :)

I always find it amusing when guys spend tons of cash on lingerie, it's just going to end up crinkled on the floor. :)

Hubby's fav present, me with a red bow, panties and bra optional. ;)

As for his welcome home, when he works nights he gets home around 1:30am or later, Alty's just to darn tired most of the time to wait, besides that, he's a machinist, a shower is a necessity after he comes home from work.

He's on days this week though. :D :D :D :D

Done alty :)

Muwah, that's a hug wet kiss just for you M. :)

Muwah, that's a hug wet kiss just for you M. :)

Alty, I have to spread the rep. Sick people... seriously!! OMG!

Alty

Well yeah... honest truth is a smiling girl with a "come hither" look need not wear a damn thing.

But you know that already.

Boys are dumb and girls are mean.

And I'm the bad one? :eek: :D :cool:

Have someone be bad and get sent to your room.

Duh.

(Did I mention that I've been bad today?)

well yeah... honest truth is a smiling girl with a "come hither" look need not wear a damn thing.

but you know that already.

boys are dumb and girls are mean.

All it takes is a grin and a flick of the finger. Yes, the red bow is optional too. ;)

It's been a long time since I've met hubby at the door wearing nothing but a smile. I think the kids would be confused. ;)

I think it's time to search for a new sitter, I need some quality time during the day. :)

Best time ever was literally on our honeymoon, go figure. We went to Hawaii, really there's something in the air in Hawaii that just makes me antsy. At one point, I gave hubby the look in an orange julius in a little outdoor strip mall type place. He looked at me and said "Again? Honey, I don't think I can handle this anymore, I need a rest, 5 times a day is killing me." It great being a girl! :D

Yes... but it's the GOOD kind of mean. Admit it... you like it.

And... I'm too tired to be naughty anymore tonight.

Where the heck is all this naughtiness when I'm stuck at work, anyway?

You WANT naughtiness when at work?

... It'd be really awkward if I were getting flustered at work...

Synn, do you want me to talk dirty to you? ;)

Synn, do you want me to talk dirty to you? ;)


:eek: ooooo... this I got to hear:D

:eek: ooooo.............this I gotta hear:D

See Alty! He really is always listening in the background isn't he!? :eek:

:eek: ooooo.............this I gotta hear:D

Grass stains, mustard stainds, oil and grease stains, stepping in dog poo, stepping in bunny poo, rolling in the mud and sliding to third base.

That's pretty dirty stuff M. ;)

How about drinking some kid's pee and thinking it was apple juice?

... dirty enough?

La, la, la, la, I can't hear you Sneezy. ;) No more pee drinking stories, ew!

how about drinking some kid's pee and thinking it was apple juice?

...dirty enough?

:eek: YUCK:eek:

:eek: YUCK:eek:

You did ask for dirty talk M. ;)

You did ask for dirty talk M. ;)

No No... I didn't ask , I said I got to hear this after you offered to talk dirty to synn ;)

And sneezy serves up drinking urine :eek:

Aw, do you need to get that out of your head M?

Hmmm, how to do that? Let me think. ;)

11272

Ha, ha, ha, good one M.

But, I could make your forget Sneezy's dirty words. I could whisper sweet nothings in to your ear. Lean closer M, come on, a bit closer.

"sweet nothings, sweet nothings, sweet nothings....."

Better? ;)

Ah yes... lot better :p

Glad I could help. :)

So M, how was your weekend?

I will never be able to drink apple juice AGAIN!! ::BLEECCHHTTT::

Batman!. quick! Into your Batmobile and drive away fast!

Okay, Alty is tired, she needs to go to sleep.

I'll talk to you cool cats tomorrow.

Wait, how did we end up doing our usual chit chat on the pet peeve thread? Oh no, poor people will be soooo confused if they come her now.

Oh well, too late. ;)

Good night kids.

Night Alty and night starby... must be off :)

G'day Batman, G'nite Alty and McSneeze... G'nite everyone... I'm off to bed!

My pet peeve's

Parents who have perfected tuning out their brats and don't realize or care their children are running around like savages and annoying everyone in the restaurant or where ever i may. If your kid is 9 and he/she is running around a restaurant I will say something to you!!!!! I have made many a parent walk out of restaurants cursing me out under their breath because I pointed out to control their kid.

Last time I was at McDonald's, the kid next to me in line screamed so loud it nearly burst my eardrums. Why? Because a fly landed on her arm. Wanted to tell the parent, honey, your kid is annoying now. Why stuff her with that large Coke and all that sugar so she's really hyperactive? But kept my mouth shut.

My pet peeves:

Students talking when I am talking
Parents who make excuses for their child's actions
Dog owners that do not follow leash laws
Cell phones ringing when I am out to dinner.

Great thread!

HI you Tus!
I agree with all of those.
I need to add... parents who don't listen to their children...

Very true start!

People that pretend to be your friend, but when they are in front of others, they pretend not to be your friend by ignoring you and passing you by like you are nothing and never were!;)

Another one, is seeing I am low on gas... knowing I have to fill up again:(

People who use your instead of you're and vice versa drives me bonkers. I've seen this in advertising used incorrectly and drives me up a wall.

People, who in the middle of a conversation with you face to face, answer their cell phones and keep talking to the person on the cell phone and ignore the person in front of them.

Bicyclists who insist on hogging the roadway and flip me off when I lightly tap my car horn to advise them a car is behind them.

Joggers who don't stop at intersections but keep right on jogging right in front of your car.

Parents who ignore screaming kids throwing themselves on a filthy floor in some store.

Cars who just have to pass you on the left just in time to then cut you off and pass you on the right to make their turn off.

Cars who tailgate.

Cars who tailgate in bad weather thinking you'll go faster if they get right up in your back seat.

Cars that speed when there is a major snowstorm raging or heavy rainstorm.

People who eat at fast food restaurants and reek of onions.

LOL twinkie!
I love onions, but don't eat at fast food places... well, I can't say never.
When I first got my license, I was that driver you hate. I am sooo much better now! Took me 18 years, but I learned without killing myself or anyone else;)
I will watch myself with your you're pet peeve.

People who procrastinate and then expect THEIR emergency to become YOUR emergency.

Dog owners that do not follow leash laws

Crap. Guilty. :o But my dog is friendly and obeys verbal commands; do I get a pass?

People who procrastinate and then expect THEIR emergency to become YOUR emergency.

Love it Synn!! Here's a greenie :D

Have to add people who are incompetent through laziness and then their emergency becomes yours.

I will admit that I'm a procrastinator (sp?) but it doesn't affect anyone but me. ;)

I have a huge pet peeve. When one of your dogs goes outside to do number two and comes back inside with a bit of poo stuck to his fur, the poo then falls to the ground and the unsuspecting human steps in it. Yup, don't like that at all.

Excuse me a minute, I have to go wash my feet. :(

Crap. Guilty. :o But my dog is friendly and obeys verbal commands; do I get a pass?

Alas, no. :( After I had a spinal fusion, I don't know how many friendly dogs jumped on me. Hurt like anything and their owners might or might not call them off successfully, but even if they did, it was always AFTER the dog jumped on me. It's hard to be a good sport when people are laughing at something that's causing you agony. I knew they didn't know, but it's only dogs off leash that can do that.

I camp quite a bit and our campgrounds has a leash rule. My doxie was out on his leash the other day and I had gone into the camper to get a drink. A dog (BIG mix breed) was being walked by another camper- minus a leash. The dog came onto the deck of my camper where my leashed dog was and growled and nipped at Tuscany. His owner stood at the road screaming COME COME. Guess what he did not come, until I came flying out of the camper yelling-I think I scared him.

The worst part... we saw them on a walk later in the weekend... still no leash.

What if my dog had been a child?

Tuscany is fine by the way- just pissed that his sunning got interupted.

Guess I don't get a pass, but really, my dog is very obedient. She doesn't jump on anyone (I HATE dogs who jump), and really, when I'm walking her and see someone coming our direction I snap her leash on, especially if the other person has a child or dog. Mostly she's off leash in the woods or in open fields, chasing the ball. I promise - I'm a responsible dog owner!! No jumping, no biting, no chasing, no aggression!

Anyway, reading another thread I thought of another pet peeve... people who argue for the sake or arguing. PEople who have no real POINT to make, other than to prove you wrong. I just want to say, "SHUT UP ALREADY!"

Oh my god me too! I hate that. Honestly don't they have anything better to do? Even when I am PMSing I don't search for a fight THAT bad!

Jillian- I am sure you are a responsible dog owner... no slam against you.

It certainly makes you wonder... I wish I had nothing better to do with my life than argue with strangers on the intertubes just for the sake of arguing... What a shame I have a life!


Jillian- I am sure you are a responsible dog owner... no slam against you.

I didn't take it as a slam, really. Irresponsible dog owners tick me off as much as the next person. I was at the beach last year walking my dog (on leash, it was crowded) and a guy with a boxer asked if our dogs could play together. I said sure, and he let his dog off leash to run over to mine (she was with my husband a ways away from me). HIS dog snarled and nipped at my dog as soon as they got close to each other, to which MY dog snarled and nipped back. Then the guy says, "Oh, sometimes he doesn't like other dogs, sorry!". Grrr... Idiot.

Ewww... I was eating breakfast!

Are you SURE it affects no one but you? I had 8 phone calls yesterday from people looking to get copies of their transcripts--oh, and by the way, could I make THEIR transcript a priority, since they couldn't start classes this week at another school without that transcript? Um... excuse me? As if I'm sitting around my office just WAITING for people to call and request transcripts--I DO have other work, and there were people who followed the instructions and sent in their transcript request ahead of the procrastinator and dammit, making you priority may be good customer service to PROCRASTINATORS, but ends up being bad customer service to others! And it's not like you wake up in the morning and decide "I'm going to go back to college tomorrow!"

Gah... I'm just frustrated because I know these are the same people that will complain all the way to the president that they didn't get good customer service if I say "no", too.

I thought of another one...

Although this can be funny SOMETIMES... I cannot stand when I am in a car with someone and they are singing a song that is playing on the radio that they obviously do not know the words to. Drives me nuts! And they just keep going and going and going...

That is pretty funny Depressed, and when the person messes up, they chuckle to theirself and say' Opps wrong verse'.

What makes it even worse-is when people who can't sing do this.

Yeah, well... I can sing if I want to, even though my singing stinks.

I know all the lyrics, though.

Hey my singing stinks too, but I don't try to make people sick with it when we are riding in one vehicle together. ;)

People who get up and sing karaoke, and actually think people are laughing because they are enjoying themselves!

Of course I wouldn't know anything about this, because I have a wonderful singing voice. I'm sure people aren't clapping because they are happy I'm getting off the stage? :p LOL!

What I hate the most, is people that go to karaoke, and sing the same three flippin songs every single time they go!

I know! If I hear Friends in Low Places one more time! :D

You all crack me up. :)

Synn, really, my procrastinating is with things like cleaning my house, getting my hair cut, buying a new bra. It really only affects me. ;)

I really need a new bra. :(

I really need a new bra. :(

Nah, you look fine.

... wait. Uh... not that I was looking... or anything. Um...

nah, you look fine.

...wait. uh...not that I was looking...or anything. um...

Now just how far back did you have to look for that? :eek: LOL! Sneezer, Sneezer... ::tisk tisk:: :p

Sneezy, are you peeking? ;)

Just go without! That's what I do!

(HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH----yeah right)

Synn, people could get hurt if I go without a bra, namely me. ;)

People who talk with a full mouth of food...
People who post and don't get using paragraphs
People who use... between every sentence.
People who use!! After every word.
Leet speak on a forum
People who complain about people's flaws... rofl

People who come up to you and say... You look tired... are you tired? Oh thanks for pointing that out to me! :p Sometimes I feel like saying... you look a little heavy today... are you full? ;)

Yeah... I know that feeling, Alty. That's why I laughed so hard.

People who come up to you and say.........You look tired.........are you tired? Oh thanks for pointing that out to me! :p Sometimes I feel like saying.............you look a little heavy today.........are you full?? ;)

Not as bad as...

"whoa, sneezy...you look like $hit...you ok?"

Or

"good lord, you look like hell, what happened?"

Um, well you see... I was sleeping with your overweight wife while drinking your cheap liquor... and... your kid kept calling me "dada" and I was fighting him off all night. That's just it. I didn't get much sleep.

[QUOTE=ISneezeFunny]not as bad as...

"whoa, sneezy...you look like $hit...you ok?

Comeback: I'm sorry, was I sitting to close to you?

"good lord, you look like hell, what happened?"

Comeback: I dreamed of you all lastnite!

:D

Yeah...I know that feeling, Alty. That's why I laughed so hard.

I can see the headlines now Synn, women's bra breaks 10 injured. :D

In the "you look tired" spirit...

When someone says to you "are you grumpy?" or "are you in a bad mood?"... well sure, yeah, now I am. Never claimed to be little mr sunshine, but asking me if I'm pi$$y pretty much slides me right into that slot... I'm at least mr almost chaffed after that.

Which of course plays off the "are you mr pi$$ypants today?" comment my wife made once when I was stomping around and muttering, as I've mentioned before... yeah... yeah id pretty much say I was mr pi$$ypants once you put it out on the table.

However, I'm digging all the bra talk.

I had a feeling you'd like the bra talk KP. ;)

I'm going shopping this week, off to find a new bra. I have a hard time shopping for one, I'm an odd size, 32 DD, most DD's are for 36 and over. I usually have to go to a specialty store and pay a small fortune for a bra. Also, I can't wear lace, I get hives. :(

Right now my two bras, yes two, are falling apart. Because I only have two I have to wash them allot, and of course that makes them wear faster than normal. If I ever find a great bra that fits, for a good price , I'm buying half a dozen. ;)

So, a new pet peeve, having to spend allot of money on a necessity like a bra because I'm an odd size. :(

Heh... try for a DDD sometime.

Peeve: Victoria's Secret doesn't believe in anything bigger than a C cup.

Boo Victoria's Secret. ;):)

So I have a gift card to Victoria's Secret (don't ask... long story).

I can not find ANYTHING there that fits me. Even their pajama bottoms are designed for the butts of 10 year olds. But I'm wandering through, looking for ANYTHING, and the sales clerk tells me, straight faced, "oh, most of our customers as old as you just spend gift cards on lotions and perfume".

I'm 33, for god's sake!

/grumbles.

I would have turned around and said well my policy is to smack all sales girls your age upside the head!. ::evil grin::

OMG Synn, that's ridiculous. So what are they saying, that anyone over 15 doesn't want sexy lingerie that fits? Arrrrrrr! :(

We should protest. ;)

Well, what's TRULY hilarious about this is that the long story about the gift card is that I got it complaining about their customer service to begin with.

That's sad. I think all us larger breasted women should go to Victoria Secret together, arms locked, and complain! Hell no we won't go, hell no we won't go! :)

Nah... I just don't go there anymore.

I've called them on it several times over the years, and they always CLAIM they are working on a "larger women's" selection, but I'm offended by that term as well.

Larger? Ya, that offends me too. I do have big breasts, but I'm not "large". Grrrrr! ;)

That's sad. I think all us larger breasted women should go to Victoria Secret together, arms locked...

Another pet peeve. Just noticing that I'z mite b you babyz muma is in your quotes! ;) Haha!

When you go to see male strippers, and you only have a pocket full of Loonies or Toonies to stuff in. (eh, lol) Ooopppsss! I guess that isn't a peeve... that would be a plus when you look at it right! How much more weighed down can those thongs get? :p

(I suppose we could tip with a roll of quarters?)

When you go to see male strippers

And how often does this happen starby?? :rolleyes:

And how often does this happen starby???:rolleyes:

Ran into another pet peeve today: People that must back straight out of a parking place and clear the front of the vehicle before turning the wheels.

Since parking was mentioned...

My wife was with her boss headed out to lunch and she pulled into the lot and proceeded to back in to her parking spot, as she often does, at my urging. It takes a little longer sometimes to slip in and she sometimes takes the clearer, more open spot that's a few cars further away from the door.

He, clearly annoyed by her habit, asked smartly if she did this so everyone could get a better view of her shiny grill and detailed headlamps. This had become a pet peeve of his.

Once into the spot she explained she did this for two reasons... first, often when you survey a spot you get a good overall glance of your surroundings and know where pedestrians are. Backing in with a better awareness of the area was safer than backing out after contorted glances with bad sightlines within the cabin, often with little awareness of the area after getting in, putting keys in, etc... after all, many little kids couldn't be clearly seen through the back window of the truck... so she does it, in part, to avoid hitting an errant child when leaving.

Second, the battery is in the front of the car. Should the car need jumped, facing outward is the best bet for easy access.

Being a father of three wild, unpredictable boys, and being that his job, in part, is tied some to forcasting risk, he apparently he shut the heck up and never mentioned it again.

Parents that are too busy on their cellphones texting or talking, and let their kids run out of a store into a busy parking lot, and then scream and swear (in front of their kids) at the drivers, calling THEM irresponsible!

Skunks... skunks... skunks... skunks... freakin SKUNKS! Do I need to say more?

Oh maybe... the city that says we will have someone return your call to see if they have any available traps! Blah blah blah..!

Yessss!. Niki just got sprayed again!! Grrrrrrrr!

My main one is the fact that bullying has taken over our school and none of the adults will do #$%#$% about it! Why? Because phones are more important! So tell me this, is a phone so important that it should interfere with something that can damage someone's mental, physical and emotional state? I don't think so!

Yessss!!!.....Niki just got sprayed again!!! Grrrrrrrr!!
Suddenly my day is bright and cheery. Not dealing with that.

Sorry to hear it starby.

Second time in less than a week KP! I'm about ready to lose my mind! On the upside, if I ever had any nose hairs?. they are not there anymore, LOL! ::grumble grumble:: It's 5am here... I don't need this crap!

I agree with that! Bullying in schools has gotten out of control.

I agree bullying is really bad. But I'm not sure this qualifies as a "pet peeve." :) This is serious stuff for kids.

I agree bullying is really bad. But I'm not sure this qualifies as a "pet peeve." :) This is serious stuff for kids.

True enough. It is much worse than a pet peeve. It more like an epidemic, with the things like the role models being people like Brittney, Paris, or Lindsey! What normal kid can live up to that image, and even if they could, what kind of message is that sending?

All you end up with is a generation of anorexic, bulimic, drug induced, ill-mannered, illiterate, greedy,. children, if there aren't parents that set rules and boundaries, and set moral standards! The kids that want to do well and have parents who try and teach them to be who and what they want to be, are the ones that get ridiculed. So it makes it really tough on kids these days!

When the beer runs out, major pet peeve! ;)

I know I said this earlier but I have to bring it up again..

RUBBERNECKERS!! Awwwwwwwwww they drive me insane!! 1111

Do you care to explain, or did you get all of your frustration out in that very sentence plonak?
