People who walk and scuff their feet!! Also people who "snarfle" instead of blowing their nose!
people in a parking structure that stop and contemplate which one of the 340 empty slots they want....
and as you pass them, they shoot you the 'look'... :mad: :confused: :p
I hate being in line at the grocery store, and while the cashier is ringing up my groceries the person in line behind me is right on top of me! Give me my space! I swear this happens to me every time I go to Shop N Save (although it doesn't really happen at Wal-Mart). I usually use a debit card and I feel like there's always someone peering over my shoulder while I punch in my pin. ARHHH!
I have a co-worker peeve. My co-worker's kids call her non-stop!!! I know their voices over the phone now. I feel like her secretary sometimes. Mind you the son is 16 and the daughter is 22/23. She spends more than enough time speaking with them on the phone. I don't mind personal calls, but these calls are daily and very consistent. Then her son's father also calls to discuss the son. Son lives with Mom and Mom and Dad were never married. Uuuugggghhhhh......leave it all at home. She sometimes will leave work very late so she doesn't have to go home to the kids, yep both are at home. Work is work!
Another peeve of mine:
When people don't SHUT-UP during class. It can get very annoying at times. Today during History my friend Marissa talking more than usual and was commenting whenever her 'mortal enemy' Richard said anything. Thanks to them and their non-stop argueing, we got 7 worksheets and 3 essay questions. I don't want to sound mean but it gets on my nerves big time!
My boss' husband is like that. She's a control freak and he's afraid to make any decision on his own. The two fuel each other big time. Once, I heard her tell him step by step how to take their baby daughter out. I mean, this is what I heard:Quote:

I couldn't tell if she was speaking to her husband or a 2 year old!
Then, if we're on a conference call, he'll call the office, the receptionist will tell him that she's unavailable, so then he'll call her cell phone, EVERY 5 MINUTES!!!
Another peeve of mine. If I'm driving down a 2-3 lane road, a car wants to make a turn to go in the same direction as me and the other lanes are completely clear, why must you pull out into my lane and go 5 mph??? Are there not 1-2 empty lanes? :mad:
Here's on that irks me....
THE PZEV engined car.
Partial Zero Emission Vehicle.
What the hell is a partial zero?
I didn't do well in algebra.
Richard, it was named by Caleeforniay regulators. No one ever said they had to take math or science classes to get their jobs.
ZEVs (zero emissions vehicles) should actually be deferred emissons vehicles anyway. All the electricity to run them has got to come from somewhere.

On a Kindergarten prep sheet sent out by my daughter's school:
encourage your child by developing the following skills:
and in the middle of the list,
Motor: Climbing, jumping, balancing, hopping, running using scissors,
a paper punch, crayons and markers.
Running with scissors? I thought that was BAD thing! :eek: :D
People with no respect. People who think they're better than everyone else. People who act like someone else just so other people will like them. People who are really full of it (in a bad way). People who don't appreciate the small things...like a gift I have someone once. I put a lot of thought and effort into it, and I honestly feel the person just tossed the gift aside. What ever happened to "it's the thought that counts?" lol XD
Parents really need to learn to control their children. I see a lot of this in the bar I work at. I don't understand why parents want to bring children into a bar in the first place...but many, many do. I've had kids run around and collect ALL my menu's off every table. When I put them all back, they went right behind me and did it again. People came in and had no menu's. I went and told the father that I needed the menu's to stay on the tables for guests. He said "Oh, well sorry kids. I guess you can't play waiter any more......." It's like...uh, excuse me, this isn't a day care. I feel some parents really aren't doing their jobs. It's the parents fault those children act up or misbehave. The parents honestly didn't care they were doing something they shouldn't be. They were running around yelling too. It bothers the other people. I think the parents were glad to have the kids out of their hair. Honestly.....that really bugs me. If I had done this as a child...no, wait...I WOULDN'T have done that as a child...that's why I'm still alive *sigh*Quote:

I just wish people wouldn't let kids run around like that in a public place where people are trying to work.
Staffing at retail stores on a Saturday. This happened to me at both Petco and Walgreen's this past Saturday. What does a store manager do these days? Isn't Saturday one of the busier retail shopping days? Almost everyone is off work and running errands, picking up stuff, etc. One would think the store manager would staff their stores to provide the highest level of service to bring in the $$.
At both stores they only had ONE register open, a LONG line of customers (at Petco there were pets in line too - which I love, but even they were getting impatient). and invariably the staff that's working on Saturday are the newest, least trained people and no supervisors available when problems arise which delays the line even more.
It was all I could do to restrain myself from having a fit (I was having a bad day too) and the delays and incompetent staff weren't helping my mood. :rolleyes:
Richard, I thought of you when I read this. I aplogize if you've already received this:Quote:

I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.
So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. All government forms need to be printed in English.
4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.
5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.
7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.
9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo fromPres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.
13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.
However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your VP. Thank you so much for your kind help.

This one has been brought up again, and again, and again...
Recently been put into my head.. I DESPISE LIARS!!!
Deb,
I think I am going to run with some scissors now... ;) :eek: :D
How about people who go out of their way to reach out to you, offer to do something for you, then disappear when you take them up on it?
I didn't ask you for anything, you offered, why do I feel like I'm hunting you down??? :mad:
People in training courses who think they know more about the subject matter than the instructors and insist on sharpshooting the lecture. (But then eat up training time because they can't do the lab tasks without 2 instructors helping them)
The idiots who need to label a shelf in a cabinet.
The go to the computer
spend 15 minutes 'desiging' a label
print it out in color
print it to paper
cut it out
and toss the other 10x8 piece of paper in the trash.
What ever happened to a magic marker and a scrap piece of paper? :mad:
Something that came up today...
People who renegotiate agreements after the deal is done. Make a long story short, I bought some computer components from someone in some need of money. I paid him the agreed ammount. For about three months now, he calls me right around the first of the month saying I owe more money and that if I don't pay him what I owe (the ammount changes each time he calls) I'll "be sorry" He's threataned to call the cops "to get his stolen property back" Nothing can come of it, it was component parts half of which I had to trash due to failure, and what I am using now he has no proof that he purchaced them in the first place. He's quibling over about $35 (the average of the ammounts he keeps saying I owe). No small claims court would even bother. As is, he delivered the parts to me, and I have witnesess who saw him deliver the parts and payment being made. He has no witnesess and nothing on paper. I don't either, but the computer parts have been here (the ones that work) for about 5 months now. He is a known gang member (facts that I got after I bought the parts...I'm kind of questioning where they came from. Luckily I didn't buy the hard drives from him) and has been in and out of jail (juvinile offenses, nothing adult but he just turned 19) and has been connected with a recient drug case. The guy has proven himself very untrustworthy since I got the parts. Sigh...and he presented such a different front than a teenaged gang banger.
Fool me once I guess they say...
Sorry to rant :p
People who brag. Than annoys the heck out of me! My step- brother does this a lot. He is always trying to say that his school is meaner, bigger, more misbehaved than mine. It might be so but they way he does it bothers me. Also he brags about his character in a game we are playing. I was watching him play and then he says "Wow, I've beaten 3 guilds already?", and he knew I hadn't done that and I could tell he was trying to brag.
Also unfair treatment just because you are a girl and age. My mom told me to go to bed yesterday at 12 o' clock. I was ok with that, but then she didn't tell anything to me step-brother who is only 9 months older than me. I found out that he stayed up until 5 am :eek: one day and they didn't do anything! I can't stay up that late, but I wanted to stay up a little later. I was so mad because they let him get away with so much more just because he is a boy, and 9 months older. I cried myself to sleep thinking about it. I wish I could tell my mom or step-dad something, but i know I don't have the heart or guts to.
sorry to turn this into a rant
I know!! This happened to me the other day, kind of. I was at the grocery store and had four items with me one of which was rather large (a bag of cat food). I had just put my stuff down and I swear the guy in back of me is practically *touching* me and shoving my stuff out of the way so he can put his crap down. The lady in front of me WASN'T EVEN DONE YET. I mean, arrggha;skhfsdjf.Quote:

It's better if I just use the example that came to mind:
My mom and I were standing at the counter a couple of feet away from a lady who was at the counter as well. She had a standard poodle (although, not full grown, I don't think) on a leash. (S)He was a very friendly pooch. It wagged and ran over to us and was jumping on me and when I started to pat it on the head the lady gave me a pissy look and yanked the dog away as if I offended her or something. She was watching everything that went on, as well. She wouldn't let the poor puppy near us, after that.
I'm sorry, I had to laugh. But trust me, it was a laugh of experienced understanding!Quote:

Like, if I said I can't sleep and my husband says, "You can't sleep?" as if he has to double check. Um, yeah. That's what I just said.
:eek: You read my mind! This has happened to me so many times. I'll go to the grocery store and all the cashiers and baggers (I don't know their title.) will be sitting around, hanging all over their station, blabbing for a good ten minutes (or more) and not actually doing what they're getting paid to do.Quote:

They either overload the bag so it starts ripping before I can even double bag it or, for example, put my milk on top of my bread or eggs. Or, when I have breakables and they just toss or slam them.
That reminds me! Troy and I had a conversation concerning this subject kind of except that it had to do with velocity. He argued that a bullet shot out of a gun would not fall at the same speed or time as one dropped from a persons hand (equal in every other aspect, though, such as heigth). It derived from a passage from The Rule of Four. He also said the same thing about an arrow.Quote:

The point being that the school can't even proof read their own documents.Quote:
Motor: Climbing, jumping, balancing, hopping, running using scissors,
Yeah. It could've caused a big argument of some sort.
If I'm in the middle lane of a three lane road, don't ride up my arse. If you want to go faster than the speed limit, by all means, get in the "fast lane." And, that in itself is annoying as crap, because people tend to think that it's for people speeding. When, it's not so much that it's for people going over the speed limit, as the right hand lane is for people possibly going under the speed limit. It's still illegal to speed, even if you are in the fast lane. And, the left lane is supposed to mainly be used for passing, anyway. Ugh. It just irks me when people get upset at you for going the speed limit. Glad they can afford to get a ticket, I can't right now! ;) (Not that I don't speed sometimes, because I do, but, I don't ride up people's butts, either.) Ok, done. :)
I do speed too sometimes, but it does make me laugh when somebody passes me going 10 over and then I meet back up with them at the next red light. I have to laugh because they wasted gas, risked a ticket, and didn't save a second.
FM: That happens to me all the time. I used to speed alot but have really slowed down lately. Especially with the price of gas, I don't want to waste any....and like IR says, I just meet them at the light anyway. :rolleyes:
My big pet peeve for this Monday are people that spit. Yes, I said spit. It's true that the majority are men but I've seen a few women do it to. I was at a stop light on the weekend and this "macho man" in a pickup truck was ahead of me and he leaned out the window and shot out a gob. It was disgusting. What prompts them to do that....and don't tell me "it's a man thing." :rolleyes:
I've also seen people spit on the sidewalk as they are walking along. :mad:

Sorry, just because you have more money and drive a bigger vehicle isn't going to intimidate me in the slightest. I was on cruise control and singing away. The front end of his truck literally filled up my rear view mirror, it was ridiculous. He finally went around me, and, I met him at the very next light. It was very satisfying. ;) I love driving fast, but, it's rarely because I have to. I do it because I enjoy it. I don't do it often and I almost never do it on roads going through towns or high traffic areas. I like fast highway driving, when there's little to no traffic and no turns or anything. Just driving. Of course, I have gotten a speeding ticket, but, sometimes, the risk is almost worth it. ;) But, I am never rude behind the wheel if someone is going the speed limit or slower, **that** is certainly not worth it.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I almost always use cruise now, to avoid my lead foot! ;) Gas is too pricey for craziness like that!Quote:

I do all that, except slow down. I've seen road rage at it's best, and, I try not to aggravate too much. ;) I use cruise control whenever possible, though, or I turn into speed racer! Most of my body weight is apparently in my right foot. ;)Quote:

First of all...Bull Sh*t you're sorry and you understand! You really don't care, you're just giving your trained response to my rant, which is only going to make me rant more! Do they realize they sound like robots...and that they act like it too? Not a one of them is capable of making a decision or coming up with a non-canned response. :rolleyes:
The other thing that really grinds is the "Mrs. Hanson" part. How dare you assume that just because I don't sound like a teenager I'm married and there is a "Mr. Hanson" at home. "Mrs. Hanson" is my mother and my grandmother and they have absolutely NOTHING to do with this call, so LEAVE THEM OUT OF IT!
OK, ok, I really need to calm down here. I swear big corporate America is going to be the death of me yet. :mad: :rolleyes: :(
