Poor kid.

No joke, that's foul. I can't believe there are people that do that. I've seen some kids that shouldn't be at a theater, but, I've never had a baby crawling around on the floor, that is just too much.

I never took my kids to movies until they were at least 5 then it was disney matinee's, I can't imagine someone doing that.

I would totally expect that at a Disney movie, but this was "The Skeleton Key" - NOT a child movie!

I wish every adult could be responsible with their children.

I went to the drive-in saturday night and there was a young couple right behind us with 2 young kids and a newborn. The baby couldn't have been more than 2 weeks. I was pretty surprised..the baby screamed the whole time. Finally, they left (we all started clapping). That's way too young!

Ack, off topic, I know...and, I'm sorry...but, was this movie any good? I want to see it, but, haven't heard any reviews from people yet.

It really irks me too to see kids being the subject of irrisponsable parenting. Yesterday, I was coming home at about 9:30 at night when I saw two kids, about 10 and 5 Im guessing, ALONE in front of a laundromat (This laundromat has a reputation for having a lot of unsavory types hanging around it, the cops are over there all the time). Grrr, kids that age should not be out alone, at night especially in a bad neighborhood.

Other pet peeves...

People driving SLOWER than the speed limit in the fast lane of a freeway. It is not your job to police my driving...now get out of the way!

People that tailgate. I have a very tiny car and getting hit in the rear end would do a LOT of damage! Also, its a stick shift, so on hills I roll back a little bit before I can get the clutch to engage and go...I'm always scared I'll hit one of these yayhoos that get right up on my bumper.

Idiot drivers in general...there are so many crazies on the road that a lot of times I'm scared to death. Especially in my car! I just wish people would realize that phone conversations, hairstyling, makeup application and reading can all be done at home and do not need to be done in a moving vehicle. Wake up earlier and do this stuff at HOME!

People who put on their brakes before getting all the way into the turn lane/off ramp.
People who have 11 items in the express checkout.
People who own "trophy" dog and keep them tied in the yard.

I hate people who doesn't understand that pets have feeelings and need cares.... A friend of mine has a poodle. They bought it when she was a puppy, but when she grew up, they didn't like her anymore... Now they still have the poor girl, and they want to buy another "baby" poodle, just because they are cute... They don't even have space to have another dog, because their house is really small.....they didn't think that they won't love the dog when it is an adult.... and th worst is that the stupid girl says that she's a great animal lover, and she doesn't even take care of the dog she has.... This makes me feel really bad....

Other ones:

People who always try to show that they are great...
People who don't do what they promise
When my neightbors watch tv or listen to music VERY loud early in the morning...

I was going to say people who doesn't like dogs, but I don't hate them, I just don't understand them...

I have more, so I'll try to think....

Another pet peeve of mine that is painfully obvious in my life right now...being ignored. Just answer the darn question. That's the rudest thing in the world, when someone can't even acknowledge you. Ugh, I could just kick him. Sorry, needed to vent.

[JenBKR]

I'm always thinking of more...when my mother-in-law comes over and complains about the pet hair - that really drives me crazy. One of these days I'll just tell her to leave if she doesn't like it. She just thinks that animals are dirty.

[sandragonfly]

yikes.. hope nobody hates me for starting this all.. probably we're one of their pet peeves, whose don't respond in this.

I don't mean to complain at their grammar because I feel bad for a few of people who came to learn new language. but still, those common words. it drives me crazy like if they spell my name, gena all the time!

jeez, kay - the poor girl by your shoes. I never understood when or why others has NO sensitivity over others. (grrr) even when I couldn't speak in dark, annoyed enough, I would tap the mother of this child, and ask her to pick her up.

last night, around 2AM - I was trying to sleep....the next door guy... smokes and smokes and smokes...... after I asked him to not smoke under my window bajizillion times. *smoke coming out ears* I hate to close the window, my cats love to smell he fresh air. sad how I rather cats being happy than getting headaches..

..sigh!!

I just thought of another one...

When people borrow your car and they break it and expect YOU to pay to fix it. Im a firm believer in the "you break it, you fix it" policy.

I really don't enjoy going to the theater too much, its very expensive and there are always people that are inconsiderate.

I would rather rent when they come out on dvd.

Reading about the typo and grammar/spelling errors made me recall something My family knows that I am a English language geek - I used to teach highschool English!!

Here at our base pharmacy, there used to be a form everyone had to fill in - in small print on one line was a place to list the name of your "sponsor" only they spelled it "sponser" Everytime I went to the pharmacy, I would turn the form in and use my red pen on it - circling the misspelled word and writing -10 points SP It took 3 years, but they finally did replace the form with a corrected one - I like to think my red pen helped.

I can't help it though - typos just look like NEON signs to me It isn't really a peeve as much as it is funny.

*Another funny peeve I thought of is when the word ALTAR is spelled ALTER in the church bulletin!!

I agree! Or when they borrow your car and bring it back with only enough gas to float into the gas station on fumes...

This one happened to me yesterday:

I went to a very low cost grocery store. The lines are always very long and they only had one cashier open (another pet peeve). They opened a new line and the woman behind me who had a cart full of groceries, (I had 2 items) about plowed me over to get infront of me.

Pet peeve #1 If someone only has 1 or 2 items, would it kill you to let them go in front of you? Not mandatory, I know, but a nice gesture.

Pet peeve #2 She had a Coach hand bag and paid with food stamps. Hello!? The bag costs $200+, but yet I have to pay for your food? Granted, I carry a Coach bag too, but that's why I shop at low cost stores. I have a Coach habbit to satisfy. After I checked out, I saw her getting into a brand new Cadillac Escalade.
