New peeve thread???

[JenBKR]

Another peeve..negative people. I work with some very negative people, and I get so sick of it. I try so hard not to get upset, but being around such negativity gets me down.

I just realized another pet peeve of mine today. When you're at a four-way stop, and someone else pulls up, but they don't pull all the way up to the line, they think that just because they're stopped (even though they're 20 feet away behind white line) that it's their turn to go. I almost got in a car accident with someone that did that.

The other pet peeve of mine is bikers. I realize you guys are part of traffic too, but when it's rush hour, on a busy but single laned street, and you are biking your way down the street in the biker lane that is 2 feet wide, when there is a sidewalk RIGHT next to you, you are causing problems. I realize that it can be unstable on a bike, but please don't go out at rush hour and cause traffic backups.

freaking VULTURES!

This is the time of the year where there is food everywhere.

I refuse to eat at any of the celebrations...I will donate money but I will not eat.


It has nothing to do with germs or stuff like that-it drives me insane that people lose all their manners - what few have any and the ones who do have few.

A large surgical equipment company went to a fast food chicken place and bought enough food to feel 100 people....The fast food place thinks that two pieces of chicken, slaw, beans and a scoop of taters will feed one person.

I think about 65 people eat...

It really repulses me to see people stack a plate with food......7 pieces of chicken, a plate of slaw, a plate of taters and a plate of beans. When asked about it they say that they are putting food away for --------, who is down stairs and working on a case.....they disappear into the locker room with their food and later on -------- shows up and serves themselves a plate of food....

The 'hoarders' leave the building later on with plastic bags filled with paper plates of food.

The cardiac department has a yearly Valentine's party (hearts/cardiac...get it?) Last year two Cardiac nurses were put in charge.

The CD bought two sheet cakes. The nurses put one cake aside or should I say "hid the cake", it was later seen going home with them.

The last story concerns a woman who I used to work with.

She worked as a subpoena clerk....For Christmas, the companies would send huge boxes of chocolates for all the clerks....those went home with her....

But she did participate in the Pot Luck Buffets we had....People would cook exquisite dishes......Swedish Meatballs, enchiladas, lasagnas- I suspect that these gals didn't cook anything that good for THEIR families...


This subpoena gal would go across the street and buy two quarts of steamed WHITE RICE....and would make it a point to stand next to that rice so she was guaranteed to take one home.....

god, I love the holidays!!

Pedestrians who don't look before crossing the street - I almost hit one last night! It was dark on a crowded San Francisco street, a very ill-lit intersection, traffic was insane and this woman pushing a baby stroller dashes into the intersection! What WAS she thinking? That the cars would magically stop? I was so grateful that I did not hit her, but that was just pure luck! Do they think they're indestructible?

Oh Redd...


LOLOLOL,

I was going around the corner in the parking structure and two gentleman were strolling down the center of the aisle....

I wasn't driving crazy or speeding, but when they saw the truck, one jumped about 20 feet in to the air and ran to the side....he then came back, grabbed the other guy and nearly pulled him down.......by that time I came to a stop and was laughing SO hard that i cried.....it was like bad SlapStick Theater....
