Pet Peeves (not DIS specific)

[LovesTimone]

The Phrase - " It is what it is" ...

A sense of entitlement... I am owed this or that, when they have not done a stinkin thing to earn this or that.

Tailgaters... Please get off my butt

People who text and drive... Its against the law in most states... is it so important that its worth your life, or someone else's...

Not letting someone else in the flow of traffic.. Is it really going to kill you to let one car in...

When there is a line of traffic, someone going down the emergency lane then cutting someone off, to get back in the flow of traffic..... Did you never learn to wait your turn...

Family... who show up to a family function with tiny side dish and 8 x 8 and its not even full.. when there are 20 people, when they have been told how many and what size dish is needed. I always make sure to cover this and have a extra dish of whatever they are suppose to bring...

or show up without anything, but some containers to take home some food... Yes I am serious....

Family - letting your kids run wild at someone else house, and not saying anything to them, and then get mad when you do...

Family ... That ask how much does your DH makes... Reply... giving that person the stink eye... Enough...

People who stand right on top of you in line... Personal space people... You are not going to get to the register any quicker...

Friends, Family & co-workers ... That say are y'all going to Disney again.. I don't know why y'all want to go there... Isn't that just for kids... It's so expensive how can you afford it.... and on and on...

Great post... and WOW do I feel better....

People who pull from the left side of a one way (2 lane) road into the right lane at a stoplight, and then don't turn right. FREAKING STAY ON THE LEFT so that people who are turning right at the light can go! It never fails that the person who pulls over to be first at the stoplight just sits there. Better yet, waits for the light to turn green before they turn right.

People who say "all the sudden". The phrase is "all of a sudden".

At work -people who come to our floor, from other floors in our building, to poop in our bathroom. Reek up your own bathroom for cryin' out loud.

1) The word hashtag (yes, I still dislike it) and when people put long strings of them at the end of their Facebook posts. I hide those posts.

2) The phrase "I'm holding space for you", which I see occasionally on Facebook. Huh?? I still don't get it. http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-7432/holding-space-what-does-it-mean-how-do-we-do-it.html

3) Aggressive driving, especially if there are fake bull testicles hanging from the truck.

4) Snakeskin stuff, even if it's just a print. Ewww. I don't even like to look at alive snakes.

5) People who hover on toilets and/or leave their mess behind.

6) The incorrect usage of "literally" and "ironic"

7) Using the word "*****" as a term of endearment for your female or gay male friends

8) Consistently making dumb faces in selfies. Whatever happened to smiling??

9) When someone thinks "I'm sorry you feel that way" is an apology instead of an insult.

10) I rEaLlY dIsLiKe ThIs. And I Really Dislike This, Too. It seems juvenile, but I only ever see adults do it.

Yes!! The bolded is another one of mine too!

As for #10 - "And I Really Dislike This, Too."
Sometimes if you are on a cell phone or tablet and try to type in all capital letters it will only capitalize the first letter of each word.

Texting somebody a paragraph and receiving a reply of "K" or "OK".

YES, this annoys me too!!!!

Ones that are on my mind today:

1) Kids who don't know or just plain don't follow crosswalk etiquette(not screwing around, walking bikes or scooters etc...)

This bothers me. I'd see students crossing a red light, and theyre walking like they have something lodged up their you-know-what! Seriously, MOVE IT! Do you want a car to hit you?!!?!?!?

OMG I just had this happen to me this morning. I was so ticked!!!

I agree with whistling and drivers using the shoulder or exit only ramps to get around slow moving traffic then cause a back up because they are not exiting the highway and need to merge back in right at the exit. Who wants to let in a jerk who does that?

at work, I can't stand when people bring something to my desk and put it on my current work instead of my in box. Also when someone calls about some work related topic but are not prepared to participate in the phone call..they have to open or get a file, grab a pen when they call for info. That sort of thing. YOU CALLED ME!


About the right on red thing....I live in NYC and they are not permitted unless there's a sign allowing it so when I am in other areas it's not instinctual for me to make the turn while the light is red.

 

[kaytieeldr]

Dinning - You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Anyonewho jaywalks; it's not just kids.

Autocorrect. I typed 'jaywalks' and my tablet changed it to 'catwalks'. Twice.

Conversely, drivers who don't stop for pedestrians in crosswalks.

Weak handshakes.

The television shows I want to watch being preempted by debates or, worse, sports shows (are you listening, NBC?)

"Breaking news" at 11:50 AM. If the world isn't coming to an end in the next ten minutes (and really, what good would it do to give us such short notice?), wait the danged ten minutes until the actual, scheduled NEWS comes on. If I'm home and invested that much time into The Price is Right, I should be able to see which showcase I would've won.

Not being able to remember all my pet peeves.

2. This may be hard to explain but my MIL pronounces everything having to do with Italy with a long 'i' so it comes out sounding like 'Eye-taly' and 'eye-talian' dressing.

I have relatives that do this, it's so obnoxious.

 

[OceanAnnie]

*Qualifier- I do talk on the cell phone while driving on occasion. I put the phone on speaker and do not hold it. I make the call quick. I make an effort to be as courteous as I would be if I were not on the phone.

Drivers doing way below the speed limit, talking on the phone.

Drivers on the phone oblivious to their surroundings.

I have seen;

- drivers pull over into merge lanes and park while on the phone

- drivers stopped in the middle of a road to talk on the cell phone forcing people to go around (that one looked like the light had changed while there was a long line and the person was oblivious)

- drivers pulling over into the entrance of a store to talk on the cell phone
Why not pull into the lot and find a parking space out of the way?

#1 right now:

Political TV campaigns bashing an opposing candidate.

Yes. For every one that one candidate airs, the other has to have two harsher ones. Up the ante game. It never ends.

 

[Jedana]

Yes. For every one that one candidate airs, the other has to have two harsher ones. Up the ante game. It never ends.

Add in the constant stream of phone calls. If I want to vote for your candidate, calling me 15 times in one week will make me want to NOT vote for him. Conversely, if I think your candidate is an idiot and hate his policies, calling me 15 times in a week will make me hate him even more.

And when they are robocalls, I hate those even more.

I wonder why the Mexican government will not allow a cruise ship dock that has a worker that may have been exposed to ebola. But the top person running the US has no problem letting 150 or so a day enter the US from western Africa.

 

[mom to minnie&mickey]

Loud and obnoxious people who love to hear their own voice. I live in a very peaceful neighbourhood but my next door neighbour drives me crazy. As soon as he opens the door to his backyard or front you know he is out there even with all the windows closed.
I have never heard anyone talk/yell so loud in my life to the point of sitting on my deck in the summer in not enjoyable when he is out with his family.
We live in a row of townhomes so our decks are separated by a wooden wall and he has zero consideration for his neighbours. Sad thing is his son also yells when he talks just like his father. I cannot imagine the noise level inside their hourse but thank goodness for excellent insulation.

Psst. Art, you know you are hitting a hornet's nest.

Another remark or two and the swarm will descend upon you.

You ae so very right but I have to say that I totally agree with Art.

 

[ChrisFL]

People who refer to things like Stitch's Great Escape as a "ride".

It isn't a ride, you don't move anywhere!! It's a show!

(Or, to be more specific as far as Disney is concerned, it's an "attraction".)

 

[Pixiedustaway]

Adding an 's' to words that don't have an 's' on the end.

Targets
Walmarts

Makes me want to hurt somebody.

My husband says Walmarts. He's a wonderful man, whom I love very much. It really is a such a minor thing, but it makes me want to throat punch him. (Not actually a physical throat punch, just a mental one )

People who drive to the gym on a beautiful day, cruise the parking lot for the closest parking space they can find, only to go into the gym to WALK ON THE TREADMILL!!!

Yeah, that one bugs me
