Now your stopped. You try to look around the car infront of you just to see what all the commotion is about. You sigh; there are about 100 cars infront 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 ya. Drivers automatically think that they will get pulled over by the already occupied cop when they go 5 miles under the speed limit.
    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!

    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.

    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:

    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!
