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

My son, always has to announce that he is going to go to the restroom. He stands there and waits until I respond and give him permission.

He's 6 years old! That was fine and dandy when he was 2, but I think he can go now without telling me. I keep telling him to stop asking; I think he does it just to annoy me.

He just did it again and I thought I was going to have to kill him. lol.

Thought of another one..

- When teachers and/or kids clip their fingernails or toe nails during class! Just a few days ago, we had a substitute teacher who, when he turned on the movie for us to watch, went over to the desk, pulled out his nail clipper, and started clipping his nails! I just find it disgusting!

I know...sometimes I find my teacher just sitting there clipping her fingernails...with scissors! LOL and sometimes she files her nails too.

Lovemyshiba,

working with the public really brings a lot of them out, but I hate people who are miserable all the time--stay home!!!!!

Boy can I relate to that!! I have people who come through my line at Bed, Bath & Beyond. We're supposed to smile and be nice to them, which is usually no problem. But every once in a while I get someone who is just freakin miserable!! Doesn't say "hi" and just throws the money at you.

That's another one of my pet peeves, people who, when paying for stuff, THROW their money at you rather than hand it to you.

Also, people who talk to their animals while you're on a long distance phone call with them.

My daughter used to do that CONSTANTLY till I finally started hanging up on her. She finally got the hint.

People who say "Irregardless". There IS no such word!!

-Broken Promises.
-Not being planned ahead of time.
-Changes
-People who hide their true selves.
-People who try to be some sort of authority when they're nothing at all.




--The stupid Florida weather!!

Okay, lets thunder and lightning allll night, then be extremely hot the next day!

Ugh, what irks me on every level (written, spoken, etc) is baby talk. That drives me absolutely crackers! Just heard someone talking to a two year old like they were two years old themselves this morning, so, I wanted to post it on the pet peeve thread....

[carole]

Does that include baby talk to our pets lol, I am guilty of this for sure and I reckon there could just be a few more in PT.

[Kfamr]

Yep! i'm guilty of talking baby to pets... even others pets, even animals at the Humane Society.

I agree about working with people, including myself. I hate the stress of my job because it turns me into someone I don't like, sometimes. And, I hate being on the bad end of customer service(911, regular callers) Just once, I would like a positive one. Like taking shopping orders for Home Shopping or helping people plan parties. Would be much easier to see the nicer side of people, for the most part.

*When a cop pulls u over and asks if u know how fast u are going, lets hope u do because if u can't see your speed-o-meter then you are blind and we have a bigger problem on our hands having a blind driver.

*When ppl, mostly girls, wear flip-flops in the summer with-out their toes painted, i mean it takes 2 mins and it looks like 10x better.

*ppl that show off!

Thats it 4 now but i will think of more
