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

[bluekat]

There's this girl that calls me at least 3 times EVERYDAY! Well, now she probably figured out that I hate her calling, so its gotten better.
-She calls for no reason at all, just sits on the phone.
-Once she calls and asks what I'm doing, I told her I'm reading a book. She's like ohh, and keeps on talking. Obviously, I'm busy, so I got really mad.
-Once I pickd up and I said "hello?" and she was IN THE MIDDLE of a conversation with her brother
-Everytime she calls, and she's talking to me, suddenly, without even covering the phone or even telling me, she talks to someone else at home. Its so annoying!
-Once she called in the middle of dinner, and I told her I was having dinner. She's like "oh" and keeps on talking about other stuff.
-Once I had to go, and so I said "I have to go" she just doesn't get it, she was like "go where?" so I explained to her and she just kept on talking.

Those are just a a few of the many reasons why she's so annoying.

• If Clipse is jumping up on me and I say down, he lies down. If I say off, he springs off of me.
  
  

• People yelling "Fido come! Come! Come here fido! Come!" to their dog over and over again when it's obvious that the dog won't.

Oh I can take it one step further. I had a lady argue with me that Emily was indeed a collie. Her daughter had come up to me to ask if she could pet Em, and I said yes, and her mom piped in "That's a collie dog like lassie" and I said actually she is a shetland sheepdog also called a sheltie. The lady got angry with me and told me she knew her dog breeds and that was a collie.
Now of course I get "oh look a lassie dog and a border collie....

LOL! Oh yes...she would know what breed your dog would be.

At least they got the breed right!!

Haha, I guess so. It doesn't really bother me when a *little* kid says it, but when a full grown adult does...it's just plain annoying.

I gave up letting it bug me a long time ago. I know now that most of the general public just don't know, so I just educate them if I can, and in fact if someone asks me what type of dog I have and give me a blank look when I reply sheltie, I follow it up with sort of like a small lassie....LOL

I had the Lassie thing constantly with my collies too. Also had a few try to tell me Willie was a border collie . It does get pretty tiring to constantly have your dogs called Lassie every time you go out with them.

~Any kind of chewing with your mouth open. It's particularly disgusting with gum...just chomping/smacking away.

~People who insist on pulling out right in front of you-almost killing you-when there's 500 feet behind you until the next car. Then they drive slow in front of you.

~Anyone who is looking at clothes in a store and something falls on the ground and they just leave it there.

~Clients who slow up 10-15 minutes late for an appointment with shopping bags or coffee in their hand. Oh, you had time for that, huh?? The same client who then wants to use the bathroom before their appointment.

~People who wait until they get to the speaker to decide what they want to order at the drive-through. Hello, you had 5 minutes in line to decide!

~Anyone who thinks it's appropriate to take their shoes off in public. Just because you can't smell it doesn't mean your feet don't stink.

~People who think just because a woman is pregnant she wants total strangers touching her belly. Back off, bub!

~Any misbehaving/snott laden/bratty/dirty/sticky or smelly little kids in restaurants. Yuck.

~Hypochondriacs....just kick it already.

That's all I can think of for now.

I really hate it when couples have to make out before leaving one another(especially if it is only for 5 minutes) and then whisper things to each other when people are staring at them.

I hate it when people pass on their prejudices to their children. I cant believe some of the things I hear coming out of a 4 year olds mouth. There is a African American boy who lives in my mostly white apartment complex. His mother basically just leaves him to raise himself. I have basically taken him under my wing. Children call him the N word all the time. I go and talk to the parents and they tell me the boy deserved it. How wrong is that?

I dont like it when people tell me I am too young to get married or that I am too young to be in love. I am 20 years old. I am a mature woman who knows what she wants and how she feels.

I dont like when girls show off their panties. I am so freakin' paranoid that my underwear might be showing that sometimes I tie a sweatshirt around my waist or change my whole outfit.

I dont like when people get away with animal abuse and child abuse.

I dont like to see dogs chained up outside with no food or water in the hot sun with no shelter. It is so cruel!

I have so many more. I will have to come back.

Thanks for starting this thread, I have gotten a lot of my chest.

Hey, I just remembered another pet peeve of mine. Actually, my boyfriend does it, and, it just makes me cringe. When someone pronounces E-L-S-E as E-L-T-S. ugh. Just a silly thing, I know, but, it drives me bananas.

[Tonya]

Oh! Remembered another! When you pull out onto a road. The car is a mile back, but you "cut them off" because they were traveling 100 mph. And they get mad at yoU!

I hope you're just speaking of these two teens that were working in the grocery store.

I have had people of all ages be rude to me before at stores. I don't think it's fair at all to classify all teens one way. Perhaps you did not mean it the way it sounded. I know how much it hurt and angered me to be stereotyped because I was young when I was a teenager.

WHEN MY HUSBAND CALLS ME "MAN".

UGGGGH! Make him stop! He says he is not calling me man, it's a term. "So don't get so upset, man."

It's whitetrash and annoying!
