I'm in the mood to start a pet peeve thread...

[cali]

when I am talking to my friends on the phone, and instead of saying just a sec, and covering the phone they just start talking to someone else, and I have no idea if they are talking to me or someone else.

Think up some "endearing term" for HIM...

When he calls you with "Hey MAN...";
Reply, in you loudest "stage voice", with someting like:

Be Right There, "___________"

"Honey Buns"
"Honey Bunny"
"HOT Buns"
"Tootsie Lamb"
"Sweetie Pie"
"Cutie Pie"

or "Your BOY Friend went over to housewares!"

You'll think of something...

That's great!

"Your boyfriend went to housewares, can I help you?" hehe

Ooooh! That's a big one for me! I have a friend that does that.

Also, the #^@^&# earpieces on cell phones. I'll be standing there talking to a co-worker. And all of a sudeen, they're looking at me yet saying something totally odd and irrelevant. It takes me a few seconds to realize that they've answered a phone call on their earpiece in the middle of our conversation.

People that spit in public (mostly men, but I've seen a woman or two do it)

Slow drivers in the fast lane

Drivers who don't park straight or take up two stalls

Able-bodied drivers who park in the handicapped stall

People who slam doors shut

Call-waiting....this has got to be the worst. I hate talking to someone on the phone and they say, "just hold a minute my other line is ringing". I always grunt "just call me back" and hang up.

People who talk and talk about nothing at all

Depressed drunks

People at work who don't wash their own dishes

When I go into a store in a shopping mall and I'm bombarded with sales people "Can I help you" "No thanks, just looking" then it happens a second and third time. I just walk out.

Dog walkers who don't pick up after the dogs

Human children, especially those that yell and scream and the Mom does nothing about it (no bad PM's please...I'm not the only one here)

People at work who do not respect a closed office door

That's about it for now. There are others, but I'll save room for the next person.

[bluekat]

There are alot, but Ican't think of them all now.

*When people call and they have nothing to say and you just sit there...and they're just like "watsup", "what are you doing" and they never wanna hang up! lol

*When people don't flush the toilet, lol, everyday at school, every single onel is never flushed

*When people call you while they have another conversation with someone else while you just sit on the phone and listen

*People always staring at me

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

OOOOH!! This is just my subject!

[list=1][*]When my brother or anyone at school doesn't flush the toilets or leaves their... *ahem* private things IN the toilets at school.[*]SLOW DRIVERS.[*]People who stand in front of doors at school, or stand in large groups in front of the door... GET OUT OF THE WAY![*]People that say "nuttin" instead of "nothing". GOD that bugs me...[*]*******STUPID PEOPLE********* Period. I HATE stupid people. Like big headed celebs. [/list=1]

I WILL be back with more...

[Kfamr]

• When people say one thing, but mean another.
• When people accuse someone of something yet they're the exact same way (i.e. Hypocrites)
• When people stop in the hallways during class changes at school. We have 4 minutes to get where we need to go, most classes are half way across the school from eachother. NO wonder why everyone's always tardy!
• When people smoke in the school bathrooms, or anywhere period.
• When a teacher calls home. IMO they have no right to.
• When people get angry when they're driving. Especially when they start yelling or mumbling something, HELOO!? I'm the only other one in the car you idiot, they can't hear you so SHUT UP!

I'm sure I'll be back!

LMAO!

I feel sorry for his future wife!

Kayann, I remember when he was about 13 months old...He was a very pudgy baby...always been a big eater...He used to crawl into his highchair in the kitchen at 3 am in the dark...and go "Mamaaaaaa babaaaaaa!" I'd be up in the middle of the night feeding him.

Now, I just get mad. I lay in bed and yell "You aren't going to die if you wait another hour!!!!!!" I think he's starting to get the hint. lol. But he still does it! It's like a habit...because he'll say it, and then remember that he can now get his own self breakfast. He'll go off to the kitchen and pour a bowl of cereal.

[Tonya]

Oh! I thought of another one...I work on telephone lines. At least twice a week, some pervert comes up and goes "Hey, baby...wanna come to my house and fix my phones?" Then he high fives his friends and thinks he's brilliant for thinking of this pickup line.

Or"...Hey, baby...my power is out, can you come fix it?" "...Nope, I'm the phone company."

[Kfamr]

Lmao.. Guys are so stupid.

The troll at the library yesterday. I had an armful of books, the place is about to shut, and she asked if I had been informed about the fine for a damaged book from a month ago. Noooooo, obviously no one had informed me or I'd have paid the fine or left town, instead of spending the last half hour carefully selecting books

There are a million people jammed up behind me while we inspect said damaged book (looks like Siamese cat teeth so I admit liability) but there's no way on earth I'm paying $24 on the spot if that bunch of losers hasn't sent me a letter or invoice. I'll pay when I cool off, thank you, bye bye.

------------------------

And the post office trolls, too. A parcel didn't arrive, so I rang the central number to get the phone number of the local post office. They asked why I wanted it Because my parcel is two weeks late and I want to see if it's being held for some reason. Well, I'm not giving you their number because they're not authorised to tell you if you have a parcel or not. Forget it, I'll burn some petrol and drive over. Thanks, bye bye to you too.

Hmmm....Troll...I like that word. I think I'll add it to my vocabulary. :d

*When people call you while they have another conversation with someone else while you just sit on the phone and listen

I was gonna say that!!! That irritates the HELL outta me!! You call me to talk to me, then TALK TO ME!!!!

People who come through my line at Bed, Bath & Beyond while on cellphones!!! Tell them you'll call them back!!!

Litterbugs!! I absolutely HATE people who throw their trash out their car windows. Why do ya think MY car is so filled with junk??? Put a damn bag in your car and throw your trash in THAT!!

Stupid STUPID people who don't spay/neuter their pets then wonder WHY they're pregnant!!

People who REFUSE to spay/neuter their pets because "they'll NEVER escape" so why bother???

I think that's a start. I could go on and on, but I'm sure someone else will come along and cover what I missed!!
