New peeve thread???

[Cataholic]

Jo is going to hate me because my peeve today happens to be child-related...

Not at all, not at all. Somedays, I would be the first one posting about Jonah's latest and greatest. There have been times, and there will be more, I am sure, where all I am doing is standing still- no forward progress.

While I can't say he has thrown a major tantrum outside, or finger painted with ketchup, he did lay down on the sidewalk, and cry, right in front of a bunch of people. What did I do? I pretended to stomp on him, and within two stomps, he was giggling away. I got more than one stare. But, I picked up a giggling child and walked on my way.

I hate it when People Hate Things!!!

No Really... I hate it when two people post consecutive posts (sometimes as many as 5 each) discussing a private matter in a public thread. UNLESS of course, THEY ARE FIGHTING - in which case, I LOVE IT!!!

You're lucky no one in The Crowd grabbed their cell and dialed 9-1-1!

Now one of the things that peeves me is for someone to turn out in front of you in a vehicle real fast & then while on the road goes 40 in a 60 zone & there is no way you can pass..

ok I have many.

First is when people brag. It bugs me to no end! Not like 'i got a 99 in science class' brag after you told them you got a 96. but when someone says they are the BEST tennis player on the team, and that nobody can beat them. At school I am really competitive with my grades. During math class when we were grading our homework, I saw my friend Ashley correcting some and counting them right. She would always say that she got a 100 and I always got 94's or so. Kinda bugged me.

When someone has their child screaming in a restaurant, movie theater, etc. and not do anything about it. I understand that sometimes the kids get excited or grumpy and start screaming, but when the adults don't do anything is when it got annoying.

Also, when people let their children roam the restaurant, dodging people with trays and then not do anything. By child I mean around 3 or so. Once when we were at Luby's there was a couple who had 2 little boys, one about 5 the other 3. She let them run around the restaraunt and never told them anything.

People who walk and scuff their feet!! Also people who "snarfle" instead of blowing their nose!

[RICHARD]

people in a parking structure that stop and contemplate which one of the 340 empty slots they want....

and as you pass them, they shoot you the 'look'...

I hate being in line at the grocery store, and while the cashier is ringing up my groceries the person in line behind me is right on top of me! Give me my space! I swear this happens to me every time I go to Shop N Save (although it doesn't really happen at Wal-Mart). I usually use a debit card and I feel like there's always someone peering over my shoulder while I punch in my pin. ARHHH!

I have a co-worker peeve. My co-worker's kids call her non-stop!!! I know their voices over the phone now. I feel like her secretary sometimes. Mind you the son is 16 and the daughter is 22/23. She spends more than enough time speaking with them on the phone. I don't mind personal calls, but these calls are daily and very consistent. Then her son's father also calls to discuss the son. Son lives with Mom and Mom and Dad were never married. Uuuugggghhhhh......leave it all at home. She sometimes will leave work very late so she doesn't have to go home to the kids, yep both are at home. Work is work!

Another peeve of mine:

When people don't SHUT-UP during class. It can get very annoying at times. Today during History my friend Marissa talking more than usual and was commenting whenever her 'mortal enemy' Richard said anything. Thanks to them and their non-stop argueing, we got 7 worksheets and 3 essay questions. I don't want to sound mean but it gets on my nerves big time!

My boss' husband is like that. She's a control freak and he's afraid to make any decision on his own. The two fuel each other big time. Once, I heard her tell him step by step how to take their baby daughter out. I mean, this is what I heard:

First, strap the baby in her car seat, then go outside and start the car, make sure the garage door is up. Wait 5 minutes, then take the baby out to the car and fasten her in....

I couldn't tell if she was speaking to her husband or a 2 year old!

Then, if we're on a conference call, he'll call the office, the receptionist will tell him that she's unavailable, so then he'll call her cell phone, EVERY 5 MINUTES!!!

Another peeve of mine. If I'm driving down a 2-3 lane road, a car wants to make a turn to go in the same direction as me and the other lanes are completely clear, why must you pull out into my lane and go 5 mph??? Are there not 1-2 empty lanes?

Here's on that irks me....

THE PZEV engined car.


Partial Zero Emission Vehicle.

What the hell is a partial zero?

I didn't do well in algebra.

[Lady's Human]

Richard, it was named by Caleeforniay regulators. No one ever said they had to take math or science classes to get their jobs.

ZEVs (zero emissions vehicles) should actually be deferred emissons vehicles anyway. All the electricity to run them has got to come from somewhere.

Why are we arguing then?

LOL, as a Cah lee fuh nee ahn, I stand corrected and wish to be called
professor from now on!

PRO fessor - as opposed to CON fessor..................

I don't know, Richard, it is missing that "ring" of truth - California or not.
