    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

    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.
  • Aug 16, 2008, 12:23 AM
    Synnen
    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.

    ... 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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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 :):)!!
