    1. Ignorant people who are in favor of BSL
    2. People who sit there and have to tell themselves that science is all fake and religion is true
    3. People who chomp their gum
    4. People who make noises when they eat
    5. People who breed their dog with out a really good reason.

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

    I am afraid sometimes I take an incredibly long time to explain things! (Your pet peeve is me all the way! Sorry )

    People who leave their trashy flyers on my door when I have a huge sign that says "No Soliciting!" I guess people can't read or don't know what soliciting means. I've finally gotten smart and tarted calling or emailing these stupid companies and telling them to pay attention.

    My husband.

    People who put their dogs in the back of their pickups. (especially on the highway)


    People who will say one thing then turn around and do completely the opposite.

    I have to agree with Oggy about stupid people. My favorite question, "What are you doing?" when it's clearly obvious what the **** I'm doing.

    Oh and Oggy, thanks for the laugh.

    1. Not using spell/grammar check in written communications.
    2. People on cell phones anywhere in public, but especially while driving, in stores and in elevators!
    3. People who forward e-mails with all the previous forward headers left on exposing all those e-mail addreses to all kinds of spam and people who use "reply to all" for e-mails when they don't know who "all" are.
    4. Smacking gum/eating with mouth open or while talking.
    5. People who abuse animals and/or children
    6. Jaywalkers/double parkers
    7. Tailgaters
    8. Rudeness/no manners.
    9. People who are consistently late.
    10. People who don't use their turn signals while driving.

    People on cells phones only bother me when they do 2 things. Can't drive and talk at the same time, if they used the hands free device they probably could, but now they can't smoke, hold the phone and turn the wheel at the same time.

    I try to take their order and they are on the phone, and brush me off. As soon as they are finished with their call they are waving and yelling for service, sorry 'stupid' person, you had your chance, now wait your turn again.

    Stupid people who come up to me and tell me what they want to order while I'm at another guests table talking to them and getting their order. WAIT YOUR TURN, YOUR NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY ONE ELSE,if you running late, plan ahead next time.

    Stupid people who want their food in 5 minutes because they have a plane to catch. We are right across the st. from the airport. PLAN AHEAD. Go to McDonalds.

    Stupid tech support people. Mainly Comcast. Trying to tell me it's in my computer, when I have already called severl of my neighbors to confirm. Several hours later call tech support again and the say 'yes there is trouoble in your area'

    Here's another stupid one. A girl in my art class happened to pass me on the street while I was walking Nino, and she said, "Oh, are you, like, walking him?"

    People who are rude to clerks, tellers, salespeople.

    I was in line behind a nurse in the cafeteria.
    He was whining like a -itch, complaining about the sandwich
    that the gal was making for him

    "I can't eat tomatoes", "I told you that before", "I can't eat onions", "Did you forget I told you that before"....

    When she finished with the sandwich, with one made with the verboten ingredients, I stuck my had out and said, "I'll take it, I ain't picky!"

    As I walked away his voice went up a few octaves and he started to whine even LOUDER..."I have a delicate stomach, I can't eat the things that YOU CAN....."

    I didn't glance back......I got the rest of my meal and got into line.....


    "I can't eat what you do..." started to buzz in my ear again......
    "I have a delicate stomach!!!" He was standing directly behind me.

    I was totally pissed off by now, so I turned to him and in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear I said, "WAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
    I turned, took a few steps, heard the same whine AGAIN......

    One more "WAAAAAAHHHHHH!!

    And I went on my way....I hope I do see him again.....I have quite a bit more to say to him....

    I have a TON of pet peeves and along with this one I absolutely HATE people who don't park straight. Hello??? What are those white lines for??

    Oggy...ROFLAMO!!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Me too!!! What about those with their precious new cars that take up TWO spots for fear of geting their baby dinged by another car door. I feel like keying their car! Take THAT you selfish egotistical jerk!

    OH OH OH..

    I LOVE MOTORCYCLES.

    I HATE IT WHEN THEY TAKE UP A WHOLE PARKING SPACE.

    There are tons of places where they can park, off the beaten trail.

    As it is we have to park in the FIRE LANES in the parking structure...

    Catnapper,

    Make you a deal, I'll scratch, you tip????

    and SUV's who try to park in the "compact only" spots Oh I can tell stories .... the garage where I park my compact commute-mobile was built LONG before SUV's were even on the drawing board so most SUV's simply will not fit. There is a sign in VERY PLAIN SIGHT that says NO OVERSIZE VEHICLES. It's hanging down and if your vehicle hits the sign, it's too big to park there ... but NOOOOO! The brainless ones insist that *their* SUV is special and somehow different and will magically fit! SO many times I've been stuck behind one of these brainless ones trying to figure out why their vehicle roof is hitting the parking garage ceiling .... here's your sign

    OOh, Sorry! I just can't seem to ever get to school on time! I have already gotten two detentions for being late this school year Once my family made reservations for 6:30 and then told her they were for 6:00 so she wasn't late but she was still late! My whole family is like that.

    -Children

    -Evangelists in any form.

    -People who can't take responsibility for their own actions, and always have to blame someone else or their circumstances.

    -Whining

    -When my boyfriend points out that we're running late and then takes forever to get his stuff together while I stand in the doorway with the keys.

    -Customers

    -People who whine about the way their life is but don't try to change it. (My co-worker... "I need to lose weight sooo badly, but I can't do it!" Yes you CAN, I'll bet cutting out the three triple-shot frappes you drink every day would get the ball rolling )

    -People who can't be bothered with grammar, punctuation and spelling.

    -When people say "I could care less" when they mean "I COULDN'T care less".

    Thank you Wolf_Q!
