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

How cool was that? This is off topic, but it reminds me how one of our older (8 y/o) cats who took forever to get adopted was adopted by a couple who ran a tattoo parlor. They had a tiny girl who sat on the floor and played gently with the kitty!

Anyway, pet peeves. I work in a lab. People who blatantly violate the safety rules (chewing gum, wearing open-toed shoes, etc.)!

I think each and every one of us has stereo-typed a person at least once in our lives, it is human nature, I know I am guilty of it, much to my shame, but I am being honest,however as I get older,maybe a little wiser , I am learning not to do so ,what a person looks like does not matter, it is what is inside that counts, as for Rap, I myself enjoy some of it, my son used to love Tupac, he has grown away from it now, and he certainly did not adhere to any certain look associated with the music, it was just simply music that he enjoyed, infact apart from the swearing I particularly loved one of his songs myself.

Tupac is an amazing genius. Anywho who disagrees, just read his poetry. Listen to some of his songs, and try to understand what they truely say.

His poems are amazing, like his songs, really....

OH MAN.....

I almost blew my peeve in the store the other day.

Had I know what I was in for I wouldn't have unloaded my basket.....

The customer in front of me puts her stuff on the counter and then....

Pulls out two milk vouchers-coupons from the government- to pay for the milk..

Since she doesn't use the whole amount on the coupons, she makes the checker send another employee to the back for another two half-gallons of milk so this woman can use the WHOLE amount for the coupons.....

The next project is to complain about the prices of tomato sauce in cans.....Aren't these on sale?

Sure, with a coupon....Now she demands that the checker give her the discount- without the coupon-
Now I have to wait for the employee that ran to the back for the milk track down two coupons for this gal.....when the coupons finally get to the cashier's hand the woman reaches into her purse and pulls out food stamps-then pays for the balance with an AMERICAN EXPRESS card..

She is on state aid for her kids, complains about
the prices and pays with a credit card at the end.

I was sad to see the milk that my tax dollars paid for go to an inconsiderate, lazy and dishonest person.

People who can't control their dogs, but let them offleash or let themselves be dragged around. Wilbur is DOG-AGGRESSIVE, the LAST THING I NEED is some buffoon being dragged over to me by three gigantic dogs he can't control!!

He had this GORGEOUS shepherd with him, who he insisted "only wants to play" even AFTER I told him not to come any closer. Wilbur attacked the dog and almost got bitten. I was so shaken, or I would have had MANY nsaty things to say to him.

Another one: When people don't teack their kids manners around other people's dogs. Star gets very uncomfortable in strange places, and she has snapped at people....so I keep my dogs on leash and away from groups of people. This kid comes OUT OF NOWHERE and pets Star's butt from behind!! O.O What kind of MORON allows that sort of s**t?! That's the second fastest way I know of to get bitten!

Sorry, that was longer than I intended.

Windshield wipers!

I hate them, no clue why, but I really do hate them lol

Also the word soda. As in soda that you drink. Oooh, it gets on my nerves

**CathyBogart** · 03-23-2004, 07:52 PM

Another one: When people spell their kids' names all funky for the sake of "creativity".

What kid wants to grow up with a name like "Vychtoriyeh" (YES, I know of someone with that name!) The kid's just going to have to go through life having to correct people about the spelling of their name, which I know can get annoying.

I hate the little stringy things when you peel a banana. Can't eat them; the thought makes me sick for some reason

* People who are secretive about who they are. It just makes them seem so sneaky and untrustworthy. I can understand aobut keeping some stuff, but really is it hard to tell your "friends"/people you can "tell anything to" stuff about you?

*When Simba or Nala have the "stinkies".... Clear the room!

*People who are too picky. Especially when someone does something nice for you, I hate when they go back and say "do this, do that, could you change this?"..

*Bird poop.

*When someone gets mad/sad, then you ask them why, and they don't tell you. Um.. how are you supposed to help if they don't tell you what's the matter?

Ohh.. I hate that too. I was always taught to ask someone if I was allowed to pet their dog (from a safe distance)

I HATE when little kids come up without asking. Now, Simba and Nala wouldn't do anything to a child, because they both love little kids, but still it's very rude not to ask.

oooh! This is one that really gets to me. It always happens when you have gone out of your way to do something nice, and it's not good enough.

I'm up against this all the time at work.

p.s. Love your new sig, Kayann!!

I know! I can understand if they had told you before hand (if they knew aobut it) how they wanted it or how it was to be done, but if they gave you no specifications or it was just a surprise, they should take it how it is and be grateful.

Thanks

I took that picture this morning.

I have a million pet peeves but these are the big ones:

When people say "I could care less", the correct phrase is "I couldn't care less".

The toilet paper should go over, I hate when it's put under. (my husband learned that really quick.)

When people write "alot". It's spelled "a lot". Two words, not one.
