Pet Peeves....

I hate being called Ma'am. It makes me feel so very old.

I don't know, it just always has sounded condescending. "Hun" more than "sweetie" bothers me, but, it's usually just the tone that people take when they use it, it always just bugs me. It just sounds like an older person (like a grandma/grandpa kinda thing) term of endearment. I have a couple of friends that call me that, and, I don't tell them to stop or whatever, but, I always sorta just cringe a little.

EDITED: Hey, Kay, did you get to check out the photos that we all took in Myrtle Beach?

I know what you mean. It's habit for a lot of people, because of the way they were raised. I had a guy yesterday in his sixties call me ma'am. And, he thought I was 19. But, it drives my mom nuts. Someone called me "miss" the other day, and, i kinda liked it....it reminded me of "Titanic" and that whole era. It took me by surprise, though, for sure.

I agree! I really hate that!

[finn's mom]

Right now, my pet peeve is people who say they're your friend, and, you know they're not. Sorry, just a personal rant.

[finn's mom]

And, it seems like people around here don't know how to use a turn signal, that drives me crazy, too!

One major pet peeve of mine is when people say they are not racist, but turn around and say well, pit bulls are mean dogs, why would you ever get one? (I consider any discrimination between any organism to be racism)

People chewing with their mouths open! YUCK!!

People telling me that I should put Jesse down because she is miserable with only three legs

Anyone trying to tell me how to take care of my dog the "right" way. (unless it is a vet trying to explain how to take care of a wound or something)

Anyone who abuses anything

HIPOCRITS!!!!! Example, environmentalists who try to say save the air, don't pollute and then go flying in airplanes have across the world!

I say Yah a lot, but, I'm Scandinavic, it is habit. Almost everyone in my town say yah. Heck, most everyone is Scandinavian in my town anyways!! I try not to, but it just happens I'll be sure to never type it on here..

Hey, if you're talking about what I said one of my pet peeves were, that's not one of them. I think you're referring to mine, if not, I'll shut up and go back to bed. But, I think what you're saying rhymes with "spa" (isn't it like "yah, I agree", it's just another way of saying that you agree, right?)

What I was talking about is when someone wants to make an exclamation, like they're excited and want what they typed on the screen to be pronounced like YAY, rhyming with "bay" ("yay, we're going to six flags"), but, they spell it on screen like "yeah", which rhymes with....uh, I don't know what it rhymes with, but, it's another way of agreement, slang for "yes." And, yeah can be used instead of "yay", as an exclamation. But, I guess it just seems like some people type "yeah" and pronounce it "YAY"....

good grief, i sound ridiculous, i just wanted to try to explain. They don't even really bother me that much, actually, like it's just sometimes something I notice. After breaking it down, it just doesn't seem as bad.

But, first thing's first, were you even referring to what I was saying earlier? And, second, are you saying you say "Yah" rhyming with "spa?"

oh. my. gosh. it's way too early to be thinking this hard.

Finn's Mom,

Go back to bed, sleepyhead!!

Another pet peeve I have is when you're talking and someone finishes your sentence. UGH!!!

[swimma253]

I have MANY but I cant think of them all now... so:

1. When someone does something "bad" and you do the same thing back, its OK for them to do it, but when you do it... it turns bad. Did that make sense?

2. When people constantly snap gum, {because I cant do it}

3. People who chew like cows

4. Slow typers

5. People who hit their dogs.

6. When someone sees that you are talking and they continually call your name until you turn around.

7. When people go about 10 miles below the speed limit.

There are a ton more... I just cant think of them. I think I get a new pet peeve every day.

[whalelover]

+swimma253, I agree 100%!!
My pet peeves:
When people feed my dog food from the table. That just makes my blood boil!! Then they smile and say, "Oh, it slipped" When they know very well that he doesn't get people food, and if he does manage to get it((mostly meat)), he starts to get agressive. Also, when my dog begs, and people say "aw look how cute he is!" It is not cute when dogs beg!! It makes me not like him when he begs. Grr....
2. When people crack their fingers. Even though I do it, I don't do it in public like that. It's so gross to listen to...
3. Followers
3. Gossipers, backstabbers, people who claim to be your friend, then go gossip about you the next, and think their higher than you
4. Vaccumes.
5. Boring people!
6. When complete strangers that are like 20 years older than me hit on me...eww.... *shudders*
7. When I'm in a store, and if one of the people I'm w/ wants to go, and their somewhere further away, they yell your name, and keep yelling it until you answer! Like seriously, we're in a public place, so shut up!
8. Last one...I promise. When your talking to someone, telling them a story and then their just standing there going what? who? what? when was this? what are you talking about? And won't shut up until you're finished the story, then you have to tell them all over again, in this case I don't, I just walk away
Think that's all for now! lol

[whalelover]

Wow...I just realized 6 out of 8 of those were describing things that one of my "friends" does. Hmmm...

[finn's mom]

Oh, my gosh. I hate when I see "ect" instead of "etc"....it's an abbreviation for etcetera....etcetera....etcetera.....sorry, i just had that tiny little rant, as I just saw that typed. Ugh.

[jesse_3]

Just so all of you know, I did send Finn's Mom a pm, I'm not ignoring her

I thought of one more pet peeve,
Early birds! I can't stand it when my sister wakes up in the morning up in my face saying, GOOD MORNING!!!!! lol! It really bothers me, I am only semi-concious when I wake up, I not ready for that bubbly personality yet!!!:rooleyes:
