    What are your pet peeves?

    My pet peeves are:

    1) bullies and/or people who act inferior and pick on people just because they can. This also includes people picking/being mean to animals...
    2) inconsiderate/rude people
    3) getting cut off in traffic
    4) being late *almost always am though *
    5) hearing someone blow their nose in the shower, or at a dinner table


    What are your top 5 pet peeves?


    Thank you so much Michelle!

    I've been BOO'd!!! Thanks Lori!

    I have "MANY" mostly work related, I'am a server. So no doubt I will post here many times as I think of them.
    People who ask for 'just a water' and then NEVER even drink it, but they feel like they have to 'order' something. Save me a trip, save the water, sit with nothing if your not going to drink it.
    People who wave and holler to get your attention that they want to order as I am walking 'up to' their table. OMG, I didn't see you from way back here, 2 feet away..............
    People that say 'Oh keep the change' from a beer, when its 8 cents. If you can't afford to tip proper, then you need the 8 cents more than I do. That is an insult.............
    OK, I'm getting worked up here, just got home from a night like this, better calm down and go to sleep !

    tomkatzid I know what you mean. I have had a few waitressing jobs, and they SUCKED!! People are so darn inconsiderate

    Which reminds me of another pet peeve. I worked at a pizza place a few years ago. And people would do this:

    me:"what would you like on your pizza?"
    other person:"what is on a supreme pizza?"
    Me: "Pepperoni, sausage, green peppers, ham, onions and of course, cheese"
    other person" ok I will take that, only without the sausage, ham and onions"

    Now why did they not just say "i want a pizza with pepperoni, green peppers and cheese?" It used to blow my mind how dingy some people are


    Thank you so much Michelle!

    Now yours reminds me...
    'I'll have a coffee'. I take coffee, oh I'll have cream, ok, I bring you cream, oh and can I have sugar. %^(*&^ is this your 1st cup of coffee you have ever had, don't you already know when you order it that you want cream and sugar. Now you may think the server should ask, this is a BUSY bar, grow up and order what you want the first time. Not much coffee going on where I work.. If you want a vodka and tonic you order a vodka and tonic, not just vodka and then when I bring it a tonic.
    OK, I will 'try' to stop now.

    Stupid people really peeve me.

    Stupid people should have to wear signs that just say, “I’m Stupid”. That way you wouldn’t rely on them, would you? You would’nt ask them anything.

    It would be like, “Excuse me……oops, never mind. Didn’t see your sign”.

    It’s like before my partner and I moved. Our house was full of boxes and there was a removalists truck in our driveway. My neighbour comes over and says “Hey, You moving”? “Nope. We just pack our stuff up once or twice a week to see how many boxes it takes. Here’s your sign”.

    A couple of months ago I went fishing with a mate of mine, we pulled his boat into the ramp, I lifted up this big whiting and this idiot on the ramp goes, “Hey, you catch all them fish”? “Nope. Talked ‘em into giving up. Here’s your sign.

    I was watching one of those animal shows on the Discovery Channel. There was a guy inventing a shark bite suit. And there’s only one way to test it. “Alright Jimmy, you got that shark suit on, it looks good….They want you to jump into this pool of sharks, and you tell us if it hurts when they bit you”.
    “Well, all right, but hold my sign. I don’t wanna lost it”.

    Last time I had a flat tyre, I pulled my car into a service station. The attendant walks out, looks at my car, looks at me, and I SWEAR he said, ‘Tyre go flat”? I couldn’t resist. I said, “Nope. I was driving around and those other three just swelled up on me. Here’s your sign”.

    We were trying to sell our car about a year ago. A guy came over to the house and drove the car around for about 45 minutes. We get back to the house, he gets out of the car, reaches down and grabs the exhaust pipe, then says , “Sh*t, that’s hot!” See? If he’d been wearing his sign, I could have stopped him.

    I learned to drive an 18 wheeler in my days of adventure. Wouldn’t you know I misjudged the height of a bridge. The truck got stuck and I couldn’t get it out no matter how I tried. I radioed in for help and eventually a local cop shows up to take the report. He went through his basic questioning…ok..no problem. I thought sure he was clear of needing a sign…until he asked “So is your truck stuck”? I couldn’t help myself! I looked at him, looked back at the rig and then back to him and said “no I’m delivering a bridge…here’s your sign”.

    I stayed late at work one night and a co-worker looked at me and said “Are you still here”? I replied “No. I left about 10 minutes ago. Here’s your sign.

    Anybody you know need a sign today? The next time someone says something stupid ask them where their sign is.

    I always try my best to keep my word..that is very important to me.

    - when the bedsheets keep coming off at the corner

    -kids in the checkout lines whining for candy or something else and the parents don't do anything about it

    -clerks who giggle and talk to someone else when they are supposed to be waiting on ME

    Probably many more but these are the ones I thought of right away!

    Boy, I have lots.

    * Telemarketers

    * when someone answers the phone nad says "this is him/her" instead of he/she. CRINGE!

    * When people go out the wrong way of the one way alley behind my house

    * When I order something in a restaurant.. tell them to make it well done. hubby then says "burn it" to the waiter, and it comes to me almost uncooked. Like grilled cheese, where the bread is still white and you can pull apart the layers of unmelted cheese (yes thats what I ALWAYS get when we go out to a diner!)

    * People who don't get to the point. Say what you want, don't meander through a hundred roads to get there.

    * Customer service people who have NO CLUE about their product... how can they be of service when *I* know more than they do????
