RICHARD,

Are you talking about fouling the air in an elevator by their body odor??? Or other crevices???

I was just talking...

Actually,

Any kind of air pollution.....

Yesterday I got on the elevator with my breakfast and almost died.....Someone needed to adjust their diet.

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

I almost forgot.

People who make a huge showing of having the latest technology at a meeting....

It's always a 15-20 minute presentation that takes away from the topic at hand. At the next meeting there are 5 people in the corner trying to figure out a feature on their photo taking-cell phone-PDA that can link up with the Tivo at home so the can record the TV show that they forgot to program last night.

Did I mention that they raided the second quarter office budget to get their toy???

People who cannot sit in a waiting room without setting out a
laptop, cell phone, lunch and all kinds of paper work, just to have a LOUD conversation while they play 'pong' and eat.....five minutes later the receptionist calls them and waits a the door for 15 minutes while they pack up the traveling circus.

I hear ya Richard! We had a patient in the waiting room once who sat and clipped his nails. It was awful. Nails flying here, there and everywhere!

Also we have a sign in the waiting room right over the trash can. It says "No Food or Drink." What do we find in the trash each night under this sign.....? Soda bottles, candy wrappers, remains of food, etc. Oh well, I work for an ophthalmologist so many their vision is really bad.

I have 2 that really really bug me ! people who say um after every 2nd or 3rd word. ( lots of Jocks) But the one that bugs me the most people wearing sandles that don't pick their feet up and scuff their feet . when I worked at the mall it was VERY annoying.

[bluekat]

Here's one:

*When I'm on msn and the same person keeps on signing in about 10 times in a row. Its so annoying, because that little box pops up too.

[slick]

People that clip their fingernails in public and let the "remnants" drop all over the place. EWWWWWW

[primabella]

I've got a lot. Sorry if these applies to anyone but it reeeaaally gets to me.

* I can't stand it when people walk slowly and are in front of me. It bugs me sooo much because I'm generally a fast walker so to have this slow person in front of you is really aggravating for me.
* Don't even talk about racism or breedism around me

* Inconsiderate people

* Liars

* Two faced people

* Shallow and conceited people

* Girls that are screechy and shrieky (these girls in my class, "Oh yeah and she was with this hot guy! Eeeeeeeee!" God help me
* People who constantly talk during a movie

* Couples who make out in the hall or locker area

* Parents who have their children running around public places and not seem to care

* Judgemental people

Load more, lol

[*LabLoverKEB*]

*People who don't spay or neuter their pets That really PISSES ME OFF!!

*yellow cars

*people who BLAST their music while they are driving

* when my sister locks her door for no appenert reason

* Inconsiderate people

* spam mail

* pop-ups

*Bad pet owners

* People who don't clean up after their dogs

I'm sure that I'll be back!

Hey, I have tons of pet peeves, and, have to remind myself of this saying all the time to keep from tearing my hair out. "Don't sweat the small stuff....and, it's all small stuff." There's a small book by Richard Carlson, PH.D., and, it's a book I've read multiple times. I keep one at my desk and one at home. I read a little from it every day to keep the perspective. I love this thread, though, it's cracking me up. But, just to throw something out there, I wanted to say that.

But, since we are on the subject, I think some of my biggest pet peeves would be.....

- people who don't spay/neuter (it's taking his manhood!)..gag

- seeing really small kids at really loud concerts or events with
loud fireworks (ouch on the ears!!)

- people who say "But, I actually drive better when I'm drunk"

- stereotyping/hypocrisy/racism/bigotry, etc

- people with no sense of humor

- thong underwear intentionally showing above pants

- reality shows

- feminine product commercials (do any women EVER actually ask
ANY other women if they've ever had "that not-so-fresh
feeling"?!....)

And, that's all folks. For now, anyway....

But, remember.....(I'm saying this to myself, as well!)...don't sweat the small stuff!

peace....

.

I almost forgot.....I just got on the freeway on Monday and was surprised as a black pair of thong underwear passed me by......

About 75 miles an hour.

On a Harley.

On the dude driving the bike.....

I did a triple take and HAD to catch up JUST TO MAKE SURE.......

Yep, I hate to see exposed thongs on big burly biker dudes....
---------------------

No so fresh????

Isn't that what women talk about when they excuse themselves from the table and head toward the bathroom in a pack???

[Lixx]

Since I don't have a car (yet), this is my peeve...

Taxi cab drivers with personal cell phones, which they answer....Umm hey your driving me??

[petlover]

Ok I have a couple of things right off of the top of my head.. I'll be back.



When friends hold hands... Something just bothers the crap out of me when I see girls doing that..

When people in my barrel racing class just throw down their sadles so the cowhands can do it, instead of getting off of their lazy butt and doing it their selves.

When we get home from the grocery store, and my brothers will not come out to help unload and they leave it for the girls to do while they sit and watch tv.

In class, when one or two read aloud when everyone else is reading silently.. That drives me crazy..


Guys that just like you if you are pretty, and don't care about who you are inside.. and girls that constantly look in the mirror every 5 seconds, and make fun of the geekier people.

Ok.. that's enough for now.
I'll be back.

[K9soul]

Hmm some of you are making me think of more. Liana, I'm like you about being more of a fast walker, and getting annoyed being stuck behind slow people

Attention-seeking types. You know those people who just always need to have attention, whether it's good or bad, and will do anything to stay in the spotlight so to speak.

Dishonesty/two-faced people. This is how I see it: If you don't like me, don't act like you do. You don't have to be blatantly mean or rude, but also don't pretend to be my best friend and then talk about how you hate my guts behind my back. This was the worst when I was in high school, but still happened easily at work (when I worked away from home). Happened a lot at my last job, the receptionist acted like she was everyone's closest friend, always understanding and always so interested in anything you had to say... and then later find out she's yapping behind your back with someone else about how awful you are. There's always someone like that it seems like, and it just makes me sick.

I'm down to earth, say what I feel, but also try my best to be tactful and compassionate too. I get no satisfaction from deliberately hurting anyone, even if I don't particularly like them.

[guster girl]

Ok, first of all. I totally agree with k9soul's comments about "dishonesty/two-faced people". I'm exactly the same way. If I don't like you, you're probably going to know it. I don't go out of my way to be nasty or anything, but, i also try to avoid faking how I feel. There is a girl I work with that is exactly like the receptionist you were referring to. I'd rather have someone tell me to my face that they don't like me and to leave me alone after that than be fake.

And, for Richard.....Here goes. I've only been on this message board for a couple weeks, but, I love your posts. And, I was reading the last few posts in this thread and got to yours, but, I didn't see who's it was. I'm reading it, thinking...this has to be that guy, Richard. So, I looked, and, sure enough! It was you! You make me laugh. thanks!

And, actually, no. What we talk about is strictly confidential.
