New peeve thread???

[RICHARD]

Guys who buy the motorcycle jackets that have the brand name of the bike on the back, in huge letters.

People who race to merge onto the freeway, then slow down, while you slow down to let them in.

People who HAVE to read the email that you are typing!

[Cincy'sMom]

People who don't belive in Christmas, and try to ruin it for everyone else.
The secretary of our department sent out an email to all of us suggesting we each chip in $5 to get our manager and supervisor a gift certificate to go out to dinner...not $5 for each of them, but a mere $5 to be split between them (giving them each a $30 gift certificate). One woman in our department does not belive in Christmas (but has no problem with her husband booking gigs as Santa Claus to make a few extra dollars around the holidays), so she feels it is ridiculous for us to chip in and get gift for either of them. How about forgetting it is a holiday, and just doing alittle something to show we apprecaite the hard work they put in all year long?

Holding an elevator door for someone and watching someone else bull their way past you both.
----------------------------------------

Watching someone in an SUV trying to make a right lane change, with that person cradling a cell phone on their left shoulder, while trying to look over same shoulder.....

Who knew the human body could contort into a position like that?

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

Making treats for the people in the office...
They go to eat the treats in the break room and someone sees them eating YOUR creation.....

FIVE MINUTES LATER you have people in your face, saying something like,

"I see you brought ------- for Sally, why didn't you bring ME something?"
Or
"You made ----------, where are mine?"
Or
"Do you like Sally better than me, I see you brought her ---------- this morning!"

Speaking of smokers...

Why must you smoke in the doorway of a public building? Do you REALLY think I want to smell your exhaust as I'm entering/exiting a building?

At my work, people do this all of the time. Then the foyer reeks of smoke. YUCK!!! I don't want to smell it and neither does my unborn child.

then you'll love the new washignton law that was just put in effect: no smoking within 25 feet of any public building. hahaha i think its great

[JenBKR]

Another peeve..negative people. I work with some very negative people, and I get so sick of it. I try so hard not to get upset, but being around such negativity gets me down.

[areias]

I just realized another pet peeve of mine today. When you're at a four-way stop, and someone else pulls up, but they don't pull all the way up to the line, they think that just because they're stopped (even though they're 20 feet away behind white line) that it's their turn to go. I almost got in a car accident with someone that did that.

The other pet peeve of mine is bikers. I realize you guys are part of traffic too, but when it's rush hour, on a busy but single laned street, and you are biking your way down the street in the biker lane that is 2 feet wide, when there is a sidewalk RIGHT next to you, you are causing problems. I realize that it can be unstable on a bike, but please don't go out at rush hour and cause traffic backups.

freaking VULTURES!

This is the time of the year where there is food everywhere.

I refuse to eat at any of the celebrations...I will donate money but I will not eat.


It has nothing to do with germs or stuff like that-it drives me insane that people lose all their manners - what few have any and the ones who do have few.

A large surgical equipment company went to a fast food chicken place and bought enough food to feel 100 people....The fast food place thinks that two pieces of chicken, slaw, beans and a scoop of taters will feed one person.

I think about 65 people eat...

It really repulses me to see people stack a plate with food......7 pieces of chicken, a plate of slaw, a plate of taters and a plate of beans. When asked about it they say that they are putting food away for --------, who is down stairs and working on a case.....they disappear into the locker room with their food and later on -------- shows up and serves themselves a plate of food....

The 'hoarders' leave the building later on with plastic bags filled with paper plates of food.

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

The cardiac department has a yearly Valentine's party (hearts/cardiac...get it?) Last year two Cardiac nurses were put in charge.

The CD bought two sheet cakes. The nurses put one cake aside or should I say "hid the cake", it was later seen going home with them.

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

The last story concerns a woman who I used to work with.

She worked as a subpoena clerk....For Christmas, the companies would send huge boxes of chocolates for all the clerks....those went home with her....

But she did participate in the Pot Luck Buffets we had....People would cook exquisite dishes......Swedish Meatballs, enchiladas, lasagnas- I suspect that these gals didn't cook anything that good for THEIR families...


This subpoena gal would go across the street and buy two quarts of steamed WHITE RICE....and would make it a point to stand next to that rice so she was guaranteed to take one home.....

god, I love the holidays!!

[RedHedd]

Pedestrians who don't look before crossing the street - I almost hit one last night! It was dark on a crowded San Francisco street, a very ill-lit intersection, traffic was insane and this woman pushing a baby stroller dashes into the intersection! What WAS she thinking? That the cars would magically stop? I was so grateful that I did not hit her, but that was just pure luck! Do they think they're indestructible?

[RICHARD]

Oh Redd...


LOLOLOL,

I was going around the corner in the parking structure and two gentleman were strolling down the center of the aisle....

I wasn't driving crazy or speeding, but when they saw the truck, one jumped about 20 feet in to the air and ran to the side....he then came back, grabbed the other guy and nearly pulled him down.......by that time I came to a stop and was laughing SO hard that i cried.....it was like bad SlapStick Theater....

[wolflady]

Yeah, same here. All litter, including when people throw cigarette butts out of their car windows or really anywhere outdoors for that matter.

Oh gosh, yes. This is a HUGE peeve for me too. Just because you want to pollute your own body, it's rude to throw cigarettes out the window, on the ground, etc. Use an ashtray or trashcan people! The world/earth is not a trashcan! Any kind of litterer irrates me to no end. I can't believe how inconsiderate people can be.

On my commute home during the summer (incidentally, fire season), I witnessed this very rude person throw their cigarette out the window...and lo and behold...it started a roadside fire. Nice, huh? Unfortunately, I couldn't get the license plate number, and even if I did...I don't know if you can report stuff like that...

*sigh*

Did we cover RIDING while on a cell phone???

[Kfamr]

I'm not sure if i've posted this or anyone else has but, LOUD PEOPLE.

There's a guy that lives atleast 5-6 houses down the road and I can hear every word he says, everytime he's out there. It's quite annoying. Especially getting on my nerves right now because i'm trying to rest with a horrible cold and can't because of him!

[CathyBogart]

Jen, I agree with you and some might get down my throat about this but I just hate to see the word "Xmas". It's Christmas, folks.

And I hate the fact that nobody seems to care that it was a pagan holiday to begin with.

[JenBKR]

And I hate the fact that nobody seems to care that it was a pagan holiday to begin with.

Well, technically it wasn't actually a pagan holiday - Christmas was 'scheduled' at that time of year to overshadow the pagan holiday. They are actually two seperate holidays. No one knows when Jesus was actually born, but it is actually thought that He was born around springtime.

[RedHedd]

I'm not sure if i've posted this or anyone else has but, LOUD PEOPLE.

That's one of my peeves too. My "cell mate" at work is so loud I have to use ear plugs so I can think and do my job. She has NO idea she's such a pain, even though I've politely asked her to keep it down on numerous occasions - she just doesn't get it. And then she uses this electric stapler that's like a shotgun. Every time she uses it, I jump out of my seat it's so loud. I've even complained to management, but they back her up because "she's just doing her job." She's one of those suck-up people with no backbone, who never says no to any request and lets the attorneys walk all over her and then wonders why she's so overwhelmed with work. Management loves it that they can abuse her.
