Booty paper, LMAO.

[luvofallhorses]

*People who cannot control their dogs
*People who mistreat animals
*People who emotionally/phisically abuse others
*People who aren't committed to their marriage and go off and have an affair
*People who are bullies
*People that are prissy
*People that shouldn't have animals
*People who get a dog and put them outside 24/7 (why not get a stuffed animal??..)
*People who don't like my pets
*People who freak out over dog hair, cat hair, etc. being on their clothes when they come over. If they don't like it, then they can leave..
*People who think Jenny is "mean" & "scary"

that's about it. I am sure I'll be back..

[sandragonfly]

ok, this is my biggest pet peeve right now! lol..

as I'm WAITING for someone to respond..

people who not responding to my emails/messages/PMs!!! UGH.

sick of that. I can't see, why can't they spare just a minute?? say they don't want to reply/help. say "leave me alone"? say I'm busy? say I don't understand? say something? they couldn't...how insensitive.

especially I have no idea what I've done to them for not getting a word in return. offt!

I feel you. I think ignoring someone is the ultimate insult. I'd rather be told to bug off. Or something...even "I don't know what to say" would be better than nothing. I know exactly what you mean.

[sandragonfly]

I'm glad I'm not alone, kari!! right, something better than nothing.

I actually thought I said something really rude..o'whelly.

[mruffruff]

That hits a nerve with me, too. I really don't understand why a business person doesn't return phone calls. City and state employees are just as bad.

And those phone answering machines that say " please listen to the menu as the options may have changed" and then go on and on with a dozen choices. Just let me talk to a human for a second!

[dukedogsmom]

People that go slow in the fast lanes and then when you try to go around them, they speed up!
People that constantly want attention and recognition.
Drunk drivers
Animal abusers
Idiots that put their dogs(especially unsecured) in the back of their pickups. That one really gets to me.
Waiting in the doctor's office.
Gum popping while it's being chewed.
Cell phones not turned off in movies, etc. Is it really that important that you must leave it on all the time? At least put it on vibrate.
That's all for now.

[DJFyrewolf36]

Right now....my biggest peeve is with Theves. Jerks whos only purpose is to steal from others because they can't get what they want legitimately. Get a freakin job or have mommy and daddy pay for it or SOMETHING! Don't disrespect people by taking something that they've earned!

Grrrrr....I've posted why I'm upset with theves in another thread if anyone is interested.

Don't be too mad at us State employees mrruffruff...some of us are just REALLY busy! We'll return your call....someday

[slleipnir]

Hmm.

Certain spelling mistakes. Although, I'm not a good speller myself. Some basic words though should be spelled properly? Like, you. Not "U" or your not "ur" and stupid things like that. It's really annoying.

People who think they're better then everyone else (or certain people even).

People who pretend to be your friends, but don't want anything to do with you or ditch you all the time.

Rude people!!

People how have no control over their kids!! I see this ALL the time at work. Kids taking all my menu's off ALL the tables when I NEED them there for customers. The parents don't care.

People who are cruel to pets or should own them

Yeah, well, you may have said something really rude, but, you'll never know one way or the other. That's the grand thing about being ignored...you get to imagine and create all these awesome, horrible scenarios for why someone could possibly have something against you. Even if they don't, you'll never know. Personally, I think that's my favorite part of a habitual ignorer.(Hopefully, you can sense the sarcasm...) Ha, Gina...sorry to take so long to respond again, I've been dealing with an ignorer here in my life, too. It's so disheartening. As you said...oh welly.

[sandragonfly]

no problem-o...finn.

you see, when I read the sent PM, I know I said everything friendly but just that it happened so much, so often and does get me sometimes. then I read it again, I said no! I didn't do anything wrong. those evil voices in head.

I was referring 'rude' as to how many time I sent... some people could take just one or two. even after they haven't responded to one of mine. again, how am I suppose to know if they haven't said something.

folks, I have one new pet peeve from myself!! LOL.. I kept forgetting to remember I'm boiling something! and water scrambles all over...again! aggh, pay attention, gina!!! thank goodness I have cats! they're my ears.

DITTO! DITTO! AND THEN SOME MORE DITTO!

[daisyshuman8]

Wow, I have lots of those! Too many to name on here, so let me think of the worst peeves I have



People who don't supervise their children or pets properly (see peeve below-dogs using my tree for their potty)

Trashy neighbors (I have a bunch next door to me that has a stove, yes a stove, just sitting in their back yard along with a pile of broken stuff-fountains, bbq grill,etc. The stove is going to rust with this rain we're getting. The yard looked worse a week ago.And another bunch across from me hasn't mowed their grass in a month, they are really lazy people-they never supervise their kids or do anything with them, and they have about 4 or 5 dogs that always get loose from the house;one came to me yard last week and did its business on my tree. Lovely)

People who don't signal,bad drivers in general (I don't know about the folks in other states, but I have never seen so many people here in Kentucky pull in front of others, not signal, cut people off)

People who abuse their children or animals

Swearing alot(turn off for me in men LOL)

People who don't want to do anything-laziness, lack of motivation,has no goals in life

Dirtiness

[popcornbird]

Some of my pet peeves...

This is probably one of my BIGGEST pet peeves. People who are constantly cussing, and using nasty, vulgar language. I just can't seem to understand WHY people need to use these nasty, nasty words as adjectives, whether they are angry, or happy, or sad, or thrilled, or confused. What's the POINT in using words like that? I mean its one thing saying them when you're REALLY upset/angry (I can't even stand it then), but to say it when just talking casually? That peeves me SO MUCH! It really bothers me when people do that. I can't understand HOW people use such language so freely, without feeling bad or ashamed about it. Its really degrading in my opinion...degrading of the person using those words. Just reading or hearing such vulgar language makes me feel sick inside. Really can't understand how or why people use them with every other thing they say. Yuck. Why would anyone want to use such degrading language? It only degrades themselves and makes them seem uncivilized. I guess you can say I strongly dislike it when people have such bad ettiquettes when it comes to language.

Hmmm...what else?

I also don't like it when people express hatred towards children. None of us like misbehaved children, but people need to understand that children are not BORN misbehaved. If there's something wrong with them at that young and tender age, their parents need parenting lessons. Just like I don't appreciate it when people talk badly about animals, I dislike it even MORE when people talk badly about children. We were all children once. People need to be respectful about these things.

Big truck drivers on the highway that will NOT use their signals when changing lanes peeve me too. For heaven's sake, don't you realize how BIG that vehicle of your's is? How can you just turn into the tiny car next to you without using your signals? Sheesh. I'm SO scared to drive next to those big trucks. Too many blind spots.

Dog owners that allow their dogs to run freely, off-leash in a park where there are young children. Be responsible for your animals, for once.

When people are having a heated discussion, and someone brings up a completely unrelated topic to fight over, and leaves everyone else confused as to what he/she is talking about. That annoys me too.

Okay, that's all for now.

I agree with you, it makes people sound like they have no vocabulary. I admit, I do swear sometimes, but I have a brother-in-law whose every other word is the "F" word. That drives me CRAZY! Especially considering he has two little girls (ages 10 & 5) and he does not hold back around them. I can't even imagine hearing that from my father, that would be so disturbing...
