What are your PET PEEVES?

[SteezyEndo]

I have a problem with people who drive miles with their turn signal on without attempting to change lanes or turn...

I also like to add when your driving in a parking lot at a store plaza and people walking to or from the store walk diagonally instead of making a straight cross. Just freaking walk straight across your holding me up!

 

[fearsomefour]

There are a bunch....the biggest is people who talk or make noise at the movies....to the point I have thrown popcorn at people before....then I realized that was a waste of perfectly good popcorn. People are so rude it is crazy. The strange thing to me is older people, boomer generation, are worse than teenagers even. Makes me insane. To the point I usually only go to movies during the day during the week. Rude ass people.

1. People that pass me on the highway only to slow down eventually... so I have to pass them. Then, the cycle repeats.

2. People that talk on their mobile phone like nobody else is in the room.

3. Dishes in the sink, period. Take it up a notch if the dishwasher is empty.

At the end of the day, none of these keep me up at night.

This! I don't get this. I used to live next door to a lady that would go outside and talk as loud as possible at any time of day on her cell. 6AM on the weekend, 10PM during the weekday. During the middle of winter too! Yes, we all know you're going to Vegas this weekend, so now we know when you're likely to have a break in. No, I don't care about your estranged auntie in the hospital (actually I do, hope she gets better and tells you to take phone calls in the house and not outside).

 

[Force16X]

people that see my girlfriend uses a cane for walking and STILL cut her off, bump into her or act like she's faking her health issues. ----co-workers have actually made comments around her about the last one and they work at a hospital for f*cks sake. she has MS and i wouldnt wish that on anyone ...........................well i do have 2 ex wives that deserve a shot. (she loves hockey and i've suggested several other uses for her cane towards ignorant humans ).

so the coworker comments are my 2nd pet peeve.

which leads to #3 when you confront said big mouths and suddenly they have nothing to say about you anymore.

any driving comment already made falls into category 4. i drive in a state where a high % of drivers worship a poisonous nut (ohio state burn).

 

[Force16X]

I hate explaining simple crap more than once. It's the worst part of my job for me. When I hire new employees and they ask the same damn question for three days straight...pisses me of

my pet peeve is for people that TAKE 3 days to explain something to someone.





april fool's Juggs

................i'm a trainer at work and i'd like to see the hiring process where i work cause we've had some seriously deranged poisonous nut worshippers get hired there. lots of stories i could tell that most people would think i'm making up.

My pet peeves are mainly grammar-related.

1. I'm okay with people occasionally mixing up words, but if you mess up something as simple as "quite" (no, it's not "quiet," you fools) "whiny" ("whinny" is what horses use as their sound), or moot ("mute" is talking about an inability to make sound, you idiots!), you should be taking middle school spelling courses instead of fucking around on the Internet. Or, better yet, look them the fuck up!

2. Caps Lock pisses me off, and I only use it when it's in characterization. Yes, we get that you want to share something. You don't need to do the Internet equivalent of yelling at the top of your lungs. That's just rude as fuck.

3. Failing to capitalize certain letters and failing to add punctuation or apostrophes is inexcusable unless you are on Twitter - and even that isn't really an excuse where you can't capitalize the fucking "I" in a sentence!

4. Please, for the love of fate, learn the difference between "your" and "you're." I'm sick and fucking tired of these morons failing to understand something that's taught in basic elementary. The only reason a person should be allowed to struggle with them should be if they are literally coming into an English speaking country for the first time. That alone doesn't give them the right to botch something so simple.

And...well, that's my ranting. Thanks for hearing me out.

Man oh man, you must hate me! Lol ever since I started using a phone to type everything, I quit giving two shits about punctuation. Lol...go ahead apple turn that word into something else, I don't give a shit, it's close enough lol.

Tech has made me Lazy!<------notice the capitol "L"

Hahaha

My biggest pet peeve are people that interrupt you, especially when you're telling a story and they interrupt your story to tell their own. First of all, if you want to be that bitch that one-ups my story (another PP), then let me finish my goddamn story. Along those lines... Last night I was out with my brother and his reps, and one of them literally couldn't pay attention to any story I had more than 5 seconds. I wanted to slap the shit out of him.

I'm right there with you.

I too have many... Funny this question is being asked right now though because I was just talking about this. One of my biggest pet peeves is hearing others use cliches. It immediately causes me to want to completely tune the person who's using it out.

The cliche that I currently find most annoying,,, and so many people are using it for everything it seems,,, is "At The End Of The Day". People who use that in my presence have no idea how close they are to being slapped. Now,,, I truly despise the use of cliches period... but that one is currently completely out of control with people.

About a month ago I had to attend a Workforce Development Board meeting. This one particular speaker at the meeting was using the "At The End Of The Day" cliche so often that I was about to lose my mind. In order to remain slightly sane, here's what I started doing during her presentation... I would make a hash mark on the top of my notepad every time she said it. She spoke for about 25 minutes and I was already up to 18 hash marks. The only thing that saved me from insanity was the older lady who happened to be sitting next to me. Towards the end of the speaker's presentation, the lady sitting next to me (a complete stranger btw) leans over to me and whispers this in my ear... "I know what your hash marks are for".

Please... if you have been thoughtlessly using that stupid cliche... freaking stop it right away. It is STUPID and beyond annoying.

Thank you

All pet peeves are Mother-In-Law related, but I have a new one.

My son (13) watched Office Space for the first time now whenever I ask him to do something he gives me the Lumberg "Um Yeah..."

 

[RamFan503]

Well at the end of the dayay..... (just for you George) I tend to hate cliches in general because they are brainless speak. But at the end of the day is being used to ridiculous levels.

@CGI_Ram 's first two are big ones for me.

My biggest one however is women OR MEN who wear a shit load of perfume or cologne to a restaurant. Half of the food experience is governed by the sense of smell. If I can smell you, you're ruining my fucking meal.

We were at a sushi restaurant a few weeks ago having a great time enjoying all the great flavors when in comes little Miss Bathes in Fragrance. I so wanted to smack her. The thing is though, her low scented friends were there for 20 minutes waiting for her. PEOPLE! It's not being a dick or a bitch to tell your friends they stink.

 

[dieterbrock]

Staples. PERIOD.
I have to scan or fax customers income/asset information, can be 50-100 pages. I always request that when possible, to please paper clip, not staple documents. Then customer shows up with multiple 2 page documents stapled together, and respond "I'm just detail oriented", I want to punch them in the face....

Driving wise?
I take a road home from work that starts at 50 MPH, drops down to 35 MPH and then when it reaches the residential area, it drops to 25 MPH. It drives me crazy that someone will pull out in front of me, and drive 40 MPH in the 50 zone, then they stay at 40 when it drops to 35 and then stay at 40 MPH in the 25 zone....

And my apologies to those affected, I do use the term "At the end of the day"....

Guess I'll need to get some of this before my next meeting so I can avoid a seizure. Hahahaha

Thanks for the tip.

Haha. I actually take it. It's a mood-stabalizer. I don't get irritated as easy as I used to.

Improper grammar drives me nuts, and I hated English and Grammar in school.
