    What are your silly pet peeves?

    Not the big stuff. Just the little tiny things that grate your nerves for no apparent reason.

    I'll start:

    1. Cabinet doors left open- why oh why. Just close the darn door!

    2. Dishes in the sink when there is a perfectly good empty dishwasher just to the right.

    3. Empties placed back in the fridge (milk jugs, juices, etc.)

    4. Sending your man to the grocery and he comes back with nothing to eat- just rediculous crap like chips and expensive water bottles. Then he says "but I spent $150." And you say "yes, honey, but you didn't buy any FOOD!"

    Can you tell I'm having a man peeve day today?

    My worst pet peeve is when people make noise when they eat! I hate it! If I mention it to my husband or kids they say "Well listen to your dog eat!" and I say "Max can't help it because he doesn't have closeable lips. God gave you lips so you can shut them when you chew."

    Does everybody hate that, or is it just me?


    Thanks for the siggy, Lexi_Lover!

    As a server, I hate it when guests order water because they think they have to order something to sit there and then they don't even take a drink of it.............

    1. People who park crooked in the parking stall.

    2. Those stupid "moral-booster" events at work such as summer BBQ, and Christmas lunches. I gotta work with these people 7 hrs a day. Why would I want to socialize with them

    3. Slamming doors.

    4. People who want everything at the last minute.

    How can you tell I'm having a "working rant"........

    I'm sure I can come up with a few more before the end of the day.

    Sounds just like my house.

    My worst is when people steal my parking slot. We all have allocated spaces at work, but mine is a nice one with SHADE! When I go out to a client, sometimes I come back and this guy who works in the same building (NOT in my office) has taken my parking. I asked him twice not to, and then last week he did it again!! So I parked behind him (there was no way he was squeezing out, he drives a Caprice Classic and I drive a Hyundai Santa Fe

    I know he finished work at 2PM, so at about 1:55 I "made myself scarce" - actually I sat in the conference room and read a newspaper for 45 minutes. Of course the receptionist couldnt call me, as I wasn;t at my desk, and my mobile was off, so by the time I casually wandered through reception this guy was having a hissy fit. Bet he doesn't park in my space again!!!!

    Thanks Kay for my great sig & avatar!!!

    When people with post nasal drip do that snorting thing.......YUCK!!!!

    People who smoke in restaurants.......can't they take a little break and spare the rest of us??

    People who yank their dog by the neck when walking them on a leash.....saw a little dog being "drug" by the neck the other day. I wanted to scream at the girl who was walking him.

    People who don't cut their grass.......

    I hate it when I answer the phone and while I'm trying to listen to the person on the other line, someone in my house is bugging me, asking who's on the phone.

    1. When in class, doing my work and people ask *ME* how to do this or that, because they weren't listening. -- HELLO. The teacher is there FOR A REASON!!

    2.When people continually talk in class, after the teacher asked them 4535635534534 times to be quiet and do your work. It's so frustrating and i'd like to punch them all in the face. ;x I can't concentrate!

    3. When my teacher whistles Christmas Carols day after day in class, while i'm trying to do work.

    4. When people stop in thw halls during wach class passing to stop and talk to friends.... --HELLO we have about a 45 lunch period to do that.

    5. When people take to long explaining something or they use "UHHHHHH..." or stop repeatidly while explaining it -- Just makes it confusing.

    6. When people change ( as in personality ) every other day.

    7. Having to change classes every few weeks. I hate change and it makes it so confusing in school.

    8. Little girls, who carry themselves as little sleez bags (excuse me) -- Going with every which guy that looks at them.

    9.... My final one for now, WHEN THE TELEPHONE RINGS!

    Did you notice all except 9 were about school?

    Oh Kfamr. I wouldn't go back to high school for anything. I promise that it all gets better! But, I was one of those "talkers." 6 tardy bells couldn't drag my big running mouth out of the halls!! and then I spent half my high school career with my phone removed from my room for talking after lights out. *sighs*. It all started early. I got a paddling in Kindergarten for talking during nap time.

    People who stand in their yard and look shocked/scared ( making no move at all to get the dog) as their dog darts in front of passing cars. Also, car that going flying around the two cars ahead of them that have stopped to try and get the dog back to the slack-jawed owners.

    Guess what happned on my way home from work

    Note: The dog, with help from another woman and myself, made it safely back across the street and into the house, depsite the idiot that came flying around us as soon as we parked and got out to help, and the owners, who even after the dog came back into its own yard, stood there making no effort to grab the dog when it ran up to them!

    One of my biggest pet peeves are people who think they are all that and so much more... Get over yourself.

    Other than that, people who know the answer in class, they just don't raise their hand.
