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....

Natali, I agree with you about animals having feelings and needing all the care in the world. I can't stand people get a cute dog or a kitten for the novelty of it. They can't understand that when the poor animal grows up, the dog or cat needs love and attention. This why I adopted Nikki. She was what I would call a "throw- away" pet. When she got older, her usefullness as a kitten wore off and she was given up. I have a weak spot for older animals that need homes. (Now she's the QUEEN of the house!)

I have a cutlass surpreme coupe with big long doors. When I'm in a parking lot, there is always an idiot who parks two lousy inches from my driver's door, just enough where it's almost impossible to get in! I almost have to become a contorionist just to get in my car. (I can't get in the passenger door because i have a floor shift ) I try to find an isolated spot with no other cars, but usually the idiot parks beside me anyway. (sigh)

Sorry that spelling mistakes work on nerves..... ! Just think that it is not always on purpose

oh my dear lut! misspelling accidents does not bother me at all. I was only talking about those who spells the same common word incorrectly all the time. but I see it does bother the others. I misspell all the time too. owhelly.

reading everyone else's pet peeves, some are too funny, some are too true..some just applied to me a few days ago!

for one.. a policecar parked by a red curb in front of starbucks. I thought something went wrong in there.......when I got in, I see three cops were sitting, having fun, chatting and laughing.

*taking a deep breath* aaaaahhhh.. no fair. I know life's not fair but we can make this fair!! grrrrrrrrr.

Whats even worse, David is when some Jerk decides to shoehorn my Festiva in!! It is a very small car, there should be room to spare right?? Two jerks in trucks stuck me so bad once that I had to climb in through the back hatch just to get into my car

The throw away pet thing bugs me too. My roomates rat was a throw away...someone brought him to the pet store where I worked because he was "too big and scary" He is nothing but cute in my opinion and he is super friendly too although he is a very big boy

speeling misteakes don't bohter me, it happins!

My peeve : call waiting! There are people who I no longer call because of how they use it!

[QueenScoopalot]

Oooohh too many to list, but todays pet peeves are gum chewers who spit it on the ground. Inevitably MY shoe always finds it! And parents who shop and let their kids use the store as a personal playground. I was shopping in a thrift store, and came very close to walking out of the store when two kids came flying around the corner and one slammed right into me! And it goes without saying that sooner or later those unmanaged brats got hurt, and started that infernal wailing. Discipline??? Not around here. I did want that scratching post (a steal at $3.00) so gritted my teeth, paid for it and ran!

[moosmom]

People who finish my sentence for me.

People who will try to carry on a conversation with you while you're on the phone.

[slick]

Guys that spit - well, I've even seen women spit, too

People who don't park straight

Call waiting - I'm with you there ChocolatePuppy

Yes, to a certain extent spelling mistakes bother me. After I post, I always go back to read and fix any mistakes. Dictionary.com is my best friend.

Shortcuts......u instead of you and r instead of are. Don't mind things like BTW and LMAO....

Cashiers that don't pay attention. I was in the store the other day and two cashiers were yelling back and forth about their upcoming evening "what should I wear" and all that crap. She almost gave me the wrong change back.

People at work who don't clean up after themselves. They leave dirty dishes in the sink. How much effort does it take to put a mug in the dishwasher??

Dog owners who refuse to pick up.

people who call you, with no intention of actually talking to you.

Boy Cali, do I ever hear you there. I was speaking to someone a long time ago and all they ever did was talk to their pets. Drove me crazy!! Thank God for call display!

I'm sure there is more but for Cali's sake, I will remain happy.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Sales clerks who say..."No problem" in response to my "thank you." Of course it is not a problem....it is your JOB. Neither "no problem" nor "have a nice one" ....I always wonder a nice WHAT... is "THANK YOU"....

Sales clerks who carry on conversations with each other while attending (or not) to the customer. That is rude.

Sales clerks who do not greet me. I will wait forever until they say something.

Change on top of the bills. Do sales people not understand how much easier it is for the CUSTOMER to handle when the coins are placed in the hand first....then the bills?

That annoys me too!!

People who walk right past Pjevs in the yard without even notice(ing)? him, when you can tell he's in a cuddle mood.

People who try to jump a queue! It's very commom in Denmark when waiting for a bus.

People who stand on an escalator/moving stairway and take up all the space, so you can't get past.

[smokey the elder]

I just thought of another one: when there is a sign reminding folks to wash their hands in the RR, but no paper towels or hand dryers! What, pray tell, am I supposed to DRY my hands on??

[finn's mom]

When people don't flush in public restrooms...use your foot if you're so concerned about germs. And, it cracks me up, because the handles to the stall and restroom doors are just as germ filled as the handles on the toilets.

That's one thing that peeves me too. Germs disgust me, I'm constantly washing my hands. When I use pbulic bathrooms I always grab a paper towel to open a door with after i've washed my hands.

So do I. And, I just wash my hands before and after going to the restroom...cuz how nasty is it to put your hands where the sun don't shine once you've been walking around a mall touching clothes or door handles or shopping carts or whatever...And, you get more germs from countertops and money passing hands than you do from the actual toilet seat. I try not to worry about it too much, because my head would probably explode.

[Lobodeb]

The thing that I don't understand is the people who are so germ concious (sp?) to use the little neat seats on the toilets, but don't give a darn as to whether or not they're flushed down after they're done! Ok, you're afraid of getting germs on your tushie, I get it. But the next person is S.O.L. and gets to see your dirty, nasty booty paper on the toilet. NICE!
