People Peeves

[Shugardrawers]

ARRRRRGGGGHHH when will Americans learn to speak I just spent 15 minutes on the phone with a customer service person who apparently LOVES the words "Like" and "Take". As in, "Well ma'am, first you have to like take and do this and then like you have to take and do that. Then like we can take and do the other." That repetitive speech using words such as "like", "take", "ummmm", "ya know", "goes" instead of said and the most classy of all the "F" word inserted after every other word just makes us sound so ignorant. Poor speech is my biggest pet peeve. Close behind would be when I'm in the store and have been standing in line a while and a new checklane opens up. People who just got in line rush over to it leaving me standing in the line when I should have been next. Like their time is more important than mine. I have too many more to list but I'd love to hear what pet peeves irritate you the most.

People that drive slow inthe left lane. MOVE into the right!!

TBH - my biggest people peeve is people condemning me. It drives me nuts. And the people that do, if they truly believed what they did...they wouldnt be judging me!LOL!

 

[RobinMarie]

People who take a right on red and almost run over a pedestrian.

People who do not know what a yield sign means.

 

[RachelEllen]

As long as we're on traffic.... People who honk and honk to get you to move into an intersection that you can't get across. I will not add to gridlock!!!

[Kimmykins]

People that do not drive whenever a light turns green. I swear, it's like they are checking to see what shade of green it is before they proceed. Ughh....

 

[onecoolmama]

What about those people that make U turns on a red light. Yes, no left turn on a red no U turn on the red!!!!

 

[DSNY FN]

People smoking in their cars when they have yong children in the car with them.

OHHH...thought of another! Telemarketers that call at 3am because they are calling from India and have NO concept of Time Zones!!!

 

[Sirius]

People who talk really loud because they think everyone around them will be interested in what they are saying. This usually happens in restaurants.

 

[trishy]

People who 'break wind' on an elevator.

Yes! Especially when they stop! Yield does not mean Stop. If they intended you to stop, a stop sign would be there.

i dont want any flames here but i almost always slow down to a complete stop at yields.... because there are roads around here that are sooo hard to see out into and if i have the yield and someone hits me it will be my fault so i always slow to almost a stop to look for traffic. my pet peeve is when people drag their feet. i hate it when people do that! i mean come on. my mom taught me how to pick up my feet! lol

I don't want any flames either but it does means stop if other cars are coming down that road and it isn't safe for you to enter traffic or you can't see the road well enough without pausing or stopping to see if it is safe.

My driving pet peeve are drivers that don't keep a safe distance from my bumper; tailgaters. Following me close doesn't mean I am going to speed up to a mph of YOUR liking. If anything it means I will slow down so there is less damage to my family if I have to make a sudden stop. I am not a slow driver but I rarely go more than 5-8 mph more than the posted speed limits, use my turn signals, make a complete stop at stop signs etc.... I have been more aware of driving safety since I became a mother (friends now call me "little old woman driver"). Before that, I was reckless at times.

1. Rude and sarcastic people
2. People (usually those in the Church) condemning me to Hell, like they are Jesus Christ Almighty-I think not!
3. People who don't use their turn signals (especially when they have Christian emblems on their car).
4. Drunk drivers

There are several more that I can't think of right now.

 

[emmagata]

[HauntedMansionGeek]

My pet peeve is the word "peeve".

Interesting. I had no idea that using my turn signal or not had anything to do with being a Christian. Where would I find that in my Bible.

 

[KimR]

People who interrupt (or who allow their children to interrupt an adult conversation).

 

[KristaTX]

My biggest pet peeve of the day is when posters on the DIS continuously write in run-on sentences.
