Pet Peeves....

What are your pet peeves, things that annoy you to no end...

Mine are conversations that are word by word accounts of conversations "he said.....", "Then I said" , "then she said', "then I said"..........

My #1 peeve is how they hand your change back to you everywhere you buy someting with the reciept under the money and change on top of the bills... That annoys me to NO end! JUST hand me my reciept so I don't have to dig it out! Lay my change in my hand FIRST, then my bills.

All tow boaters pet peeve is on your first day home... "Welcome home! When do you have to go back?":D

I've got a long list!
1- Parents who let their kids run all over stores like it's a playground, and don't watch them. I don't know how many times I've been cut off by kids on bikes at Wal-Mart, or been hit by balls the kids are playing with in the store. :mad: :rolleyes: No wonder kidnappings occur!
2- Ignorant drivers who can't stop for a split second to let you get into traffic. I swear they're all chained together. :rolleyes: Or ones that KNOW they're coming to a stop, but block you from getting out of side streets. :mad:
3-People who don't spay & neuter their pets figuring since all Fluffy's kittens from before got homes, they should have no problem "getting RID of" (I hate that term) the tenth litter! :mad:
I've got plenty more...but am having a brain fart at the moment lol! :o :rolleyes:

My #1 pet peeve is people who react with "Ewwww, thats gross" or "Oh, its so ugly" or anything like that when I'm holding Blink. Or customers who do the same thing when I'm at work holding Cyclops (the bearded dragon) or have one of the rats out. It makes my blood boil! :mad: I have no problem that people don't like the animal, thats fine, its how they feel. But don't say it in front of people who obviously like it. I find it very inconsiderate and have to force myself to calm down and not yell at them.

I agree with the previous three and must add...
People who tell me I have too many pets.
People who try to get me to convert.
People who call me by my security/meter reader "name" Ticket Nazi.
People who constantly complain about things they can't change.
People who are obsessively clean.
Conservatives.
People who brush dog hair off their pants, like it isn't part of the outfit, lol .
People who say "like" every other word of their conversation.
The list could go on forever but I'm sure that my writing all of these is somebody's pet peeve

#1 people that dis-like my dogs

#2 people that are scared of ym birds

#3 people that try to walk in the elovator before you get out of it.

#4 people that tell me birds are terrible pets. they should be wild.:rolleyes:

#5 when people leave just enough room for you NOT to be able to paralel park.

People who drive with their unsecured dogs in the back of pickups. I saw a yellow lab being thrashed around just this morning. :mad:

People who go through the express lane at the store with more items than they're supposed to have.


I have a "No Soliciting" sign on my front door. People will still come and put their crappy brochures on my door.
:mad:

There are tons more, but that's it for now. :)

LOL! Laura, this gets to me too! Then you have a handful of change you are trying NOT to drop all over the floor. you now have one hand free to put it all back in your wallet/purse/pocket and usually the person behind you has already taken over the little "shelf" they give you to put your coupons or write your checks on or whatever it is there for!:confused:

I have noticed this new pet peeve since Ihave been in NJ, didn't seem to be a problem in Syracuse....:confused:
When you get on a highway, you're driving up the entrance ramp with your left blinker on so you can merge with oncoming traffic and they keep right on going or even speed up so you can't get in...I always wonder what they are thinking? Did they think I just drove up the ramp to pull over to the side of the road and have a picnic, right there on the highway? "No, no, don't worry about me, I'm not trying to actually GET ON the highway, I just thought this looked like a nice place to stop." :confused:

:D

When friends don't return what's being given to them. They just keep wanting more. Hurts to know that you're not that important to them like you've been treating them.
Don't get me started on Welfare.
People that do everything but drive in their cars. I saw a woman the other day that had a newspaper spread across her steering wheel :o
Misuse of 911
People that slack off at work
Tailgaters
I'm sure there are more..........

You all are listing some of my other ones too but I wanted to just SEE if these things annoyed anybody else.. Keep them coming!

Goshj Laura, I have too many. I guess what is my pet peeve today is people who walk by my house and feel free to dump their McDonalds wrappers on my lawn. :mad: Sitting here looking out my window, I've seen three peole do that today alone... but the best part is with me watching, I then shout out the window "hey you! I do hope you accidentally dropped that. I also hope you'll go out and pick it up." I have actually gone running after people and handed their trash back to them. Hubby and the kids enjoy watching me do that one! LOL You don't want a plus-sized crazy lady running fullspeed to shove McDonalds wrappers back at you! :p

People that speed through my neighborhood...especially when I am walking the dogs and they fly right by me.

People that don't like animals.

People that don't like children...duh you were a kid once if your alive.

People that have take one side on politics and agree with all the issues pertantent to that party and never even analyze the issue.

Rude clerks at stores.

Rude customers at stores. (have to be fair now)

I get peeved when someone says they're waiting on someone else.

Isn't that uncomfortable? Wouldn't it be easier to wait FOR them?

Mary

pet peeves?? hmm......

Men.

I HATE that!!! It happens so often in Tennessee, I've noticed. I just want to scream! Any time I'm out driving, I'll 99.9% of the time see some poor little dog in the back of a truck, sometimes they look like their about to jump out with the vehicle moving. But seeing an animal just in the back of a truck annoys the *&*& out of me, my ex-stepfather leashed his dog in the back of his truck and during the drive he jumped out, basicly hanging himself, somehow my ex-sp "didnt notice" and the dog died.

ME TOOO!!!! I have even asked them..."change first , please!" They look at me like I have two heads.....

and on the subject of customer service....do NOT speak to another employee (we won't even go into talking on the phone) when I am standing in front of you. It is rude.

When I say "thank you" at the end of the transaction, do not say.."No problem." I should hope it is not problem for you to do your job.

There...I feel better...
