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. 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!

I hate litterers too! Years ago the Tall Ships came into our area, and we went to see them along with the mobs of others. There were people handing out brochures (I said no thank you) but the guy in front of me takes one (he's got 3 kids with him) glances at it for a second, and throws it onto the sidewalk! There's barrels everywhere too! I said to him "excuse me...you dropped something" in which case he turns around, looks and sees that I'm talking about his trash, and he tells me to "f" off! Nice education for children. Another time I see a nicely dressed woman sitting in her car in a parking lot ( she's probably in her 60s) scratching lottery tickets, and tossing the no good ones out the window. I had some words with her too...too lazy and inconsiderate to throw trash in the barrels.

Ever seen a Wal Mart parking lot, late at night? People act like that is a garbage dump! DISGUSTING! My Mama raised me better than that!

*****When people don't correct their DOGS/children/whatever.
Dogs especially. If your dog isn't doing something it's not supposed to, LET IT KNOW! Everytime, not just every once in a while. It'll never learn.


*School, period.

Those are the top two on my mind right now.

[CagneyDog]

Teachers that do thinks just to skrew you around.

Control Freaks.

School (Most of the time)

When people yawn a hundred times

When people walk really, really, slow through the hallways.

When people don't pick up after their dogs



Oh boy, I should stop now!

[popcornbird]

People who change lanes on the highway without using their signals (especially hate this when its done by 18-wheel-truck drivers)!!!

Weeds, weeds, trimming shrubs, cutting grass, weeds, trimming trees, more weeds......Can you tell I just finished working on the front yard? Took the WHOLE DAY, and I'm tired now (he he he), but the yard DOES look beautiful now, so I guess it was worth it. Still....I hate weeds.....especially weeds that grow in grass.

Hmmm....what else? Oh yes. People that HAVE TO judge others on every little thing. As if THEY have no shortcomings in themselves.

When people can't meet others without saying something negative. I swear I know certain individuals that HAVE TO say something negative, in every situation. They end up losing all their friends because of it, but they still HAVE TO pass their negative thoughts.

i dont like it when cars block intersections. whether i cant get thru or someone else, it just iritates me.

i hate when some friends think theyre wiser then me and intend on giving me advice on everything.

also when people cant get beyond their own opinions/beliefs/etc. to see my side of a topic just alittle!

theres more just let me think, ill come back later.


**EDIT** but i cant stand it when people think im a bad person and my dog isnt as good as theirs because i got Jesse from a breeder and they got theres from a rescue/shelter/whatever!!! God, whether i adopted her from a breeder or adopted her from a shelter. i got her, why does it matter how?!?

[GoldenRetrLuver]

Irresponsible adults who don't control their children.

Children who come up and try to pet my dogs without asking.

Loud kids, screaming kids/babies, obnoxious kids, etc. Starting to get my point?

People who greet me by saying, "Hey! It's a Lassie dog!" Ergh.

When someone is three feet away from the phone but they ask me to pick it up.

Kids who make out in the hallway/classroom at school.. really, nobody wants to see that.

Slow drivers.

People (mostly family members) looking over my shoulder while I'm online typing.. I hate that!

Wal Mart lol (I really just can't stand that store.. I'm not exactly sure why).

I'm sure there's a ton more.. but I'll stop for now.

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.

Me too, and i thought i was the only one.

Hmm i dont have time for fussing over children, and noisy rude kids are one of my pet peeves.

Kay, i cannot stand it when people dont correct bad behaviour with their dogs either.

[Vette]

I have food and water containers set up for my dog so he can eat or drink whenever he wants. and people see the containers in some of the pictures i show them.. and they ask "doesnt he over eat?" and another stupid one is "is he over weight?" when i just showed them a picture and they can clearly see hes not over weight. that never has made sense to me,, and i guess it never will.. if and when my dog is over weight,, i will remove the food container or restrict his meals down to half a cup of food or whatever and not be a bum about it.

second peeve is people who think its cool to drive around with dogs in the back of their trucks. whether they are secured or not. ever touched hot metal like by laying our arm on the window of your car/truck and jump because the metal got really wicked hot? yeah well imagine what that feels like on your bare feet and have to stay on it. wind chill isnt any better either. try sticking your arm out your car/truck window and leaving it there on a cold/cool day. isnt that dull numb ache feeling lovely?

and 3rd peeve is retarded people who leave their animals or children inside their car/truck. thats just asking for something bad to happen to them.


4th peeve is people who tell me i have too many pets.

Glad I'm not the only one that feels that way. Just as some people don't like animals, others don't like kids. But, people like to make you out like you're some kind of monster just because of that fact.

Right now, one comes to mind . . .

My husband can get his dishes to the kitchen counter over the dishwasher, but for some reason, they just don't make it INTO the dishwasher!

[Bigyummydog]

kids that talk back to their parents or should i say parents
who LET their kids talk back to them

people that let their dogs poo in other peoples yards, and then leave it

people that think you should put your dog out when they visit...it's his house not theirs

people that look at MAXIMUS and say 'ah he's gonna tear your leg off'...he doesn't eat junk food (yeah, the movie)

people that don't pick up after themselves

yeah, i got more................

[chocolatepuppy]

People who STILL have their Christmas decorations up!

I have one BIG pet peeve! When I'm parked in a parking lot and I come out of the store and I find the guy to the left of me didn't give me enough room for me to open my car door. (Having a two door car,they are big doors.) When that happens, I have to become a contortionist just to get into my car!
