Pet Peeves, whats yours?

[sdarwkcabemanmy]

Parents who let their underage children come down to the pool unattended even though it's against the rules and then have the gall to get mad at me when I ask their children to leave so they can go get a parent/other responsible adult. Fortunately, next summer we shouldn't have this problem because I've been told we're going to be getting a new keycard system as well as a security guard to mind the gate.

I'm sure SOMEBODY will complain though..somebody always does.

Also, people who vandalize the pool bother me..we all (well most of the homeowners anway) pay their dues to keep the pool maintained and then somebody comes and chips the plaster, breaks off tiles, etc.

I hate when people drive "willy-nilly" across a parking lot. Follow the lines people! and then they give you the evil eye when they almost hit you.

I hate it when people throw their cigarette butts out the car window. I just want to pick it up and throw it back at them! Doesn't every car still have an ashtray??

 

[LOVEDISNEYLAND]

I hate that too, but I also hate the reverse of that: people who will not move up in the line so that you can start loading your items on the belt.

I agree, that's also real annoying. I just want to get in and get out. There once was a time when I was paying and this lady was so close and I caught her looking at the pin pad when I was entering in my pin number. I looked at her and said, Do you need something? she said "oh, I was just looking at your shoes, there so cute." She clearly was not looking at my shoes.

I wish they would make those keypads with raised sides so that only you can see what is being entered.

 

[Pakey]

People who are in the fast lane driving under the speed limit.

People who litter, whether that be cigarette butts, pet feces. I think the worst is chewing gum. Nothing ruins a day faster than chewed gum on the bottom of my shoe.

People with a screaming child who will not leave the restaurant or movie theater.

But my biggest pet peeve is that no matter how funny I am, I cannot get a tag here.

No cars DONT have an ashtray anymore, nor lighters. They have the hole for a lighter but no lighter.

But my biggest pet peeve is that no matter how funny I am, I cannot get a tag here.

Parents who let their kids do numerous naughty things in public and don't seem to even notice, let alone ask them to stop.

My DD10 said to me one day her friends mom really likes kids but you don't mom why not. I told her I love well behaved kids but anything else I CAN'T STAND.

My Aunt has a favorite saying about bad kids that no one loves them enough to tell them no.

When my husband leaves the empty milk carton on the counter instead of putting it in the garbage.

I feel your pain. Mine puts it back in the fridge EMPTY!
One of my biggest pet peeves is when I'm trying to back out of a space in a parking lot and someone is thisclose behind me waiting to get my spot. Geeze, at least give me enough room to get out! And there are usually plenty of empty spaces they could have.

Mine won't do empty, but he'll leave...oh, two tablespoons or so left in the bottom and put it back. I don't drink it, and only use it in cooking, so I'm not sure who he's hurting...but he'll even open the new one and leave the one with just a swallow in the bottom still in the fridge! He's a keeper, but this is weird behavior.

I have 2 pet peeves, both bathroom related ( 1'm a guy, btw) .

1. In a public bathroom if you have to "tinkle" in a toilet because all the stalls are in use, lift up the dad-blamed seat ! I don't want to sit in your (expletive-deleted) urine !

2. If you are about to enter a regular bathroom and the door is closed, please knock before you try to enter. God help you if you are using the bathroom and forgot to lock the door because I find that only about 1% of people knock before they try to open the door.

People who think that the rules apply to everyone else but themselves!
Every day, I go to our local elementary school to pick up some of my daycare kids. The school is in a subdivision at the end of one block. There is literally only one road into the parking lot and one road out (why they built the school there I'll never know. )

This school has about 800 K-5th graders, at least half of whom do not get a bus so there are A LOT of cars. After a certain time, they pull a barrel out to block off one lane of traffic so that cars are not going around those that are lined up. This is necessary because the street is only wide enough for two cars. The barrel doesn't stop some. They just choose to go around the barrel by squeezing by the parked car or going around the other side and onto the grass.

It never fails but every day, there are cars that try to go past the lined up cars and are met head on by cars trying to leave. It results in a stand still until the car that was trying to pass has to back all the way up. Needless to say, there are foul words exchanged. The school does what it can but the teachers contract doesn't require them to work drop off or pick up. Most leave within 5 minutes after the bell.

Sadly, I think that it's going to take someone getting hurt.

I've been picking kids up from this school since it opened 8 years ago and it's getting worse each year.

I don't know if anyone has already posted this but... my pet peeve is people talking on cell phones while they are being waited on -like at mcdonald's. It is so rude!

 

[laurafergie]

My two teenagers job is to keep the kitchen clean - why do they wash all the dishes EXCEPT one? And just leave that one there all yucky?

 

[LovinPooh]

OMG... I hate the loud bass as well. I will admit that when I was 16 my bass was kickin' lol. I must be getting old, but when my neighbors come home at 10:00 with the bass pumpin in their old tin can, I want to go outside and beat them upside the head. I want to be like, 'instead of the speakers, fix the darn car'!
I have had people try to peek over at my pin as well... good grief! I would never ever try to do that. Ughh... I get aggravated at all those things as well. Its like 'chew the gum and put down the phone for half a second'. I went through the McDs drive thru last week and there was a sign up that said to please turn off cell phones before approaching drive thru. I was like... hmmm... how can you order while talking on the phone anyway??

I sound so witchy... I swear I am really not! Just alot seems to aggravate me lately. I think as I get older I have less patience

 

[minniecarousel]

ah, yes - the chewing gum! I must have "gun attractors" on my shoes! It never fails, I step in it!

OK - here's a really petty pet peeve. At work, I have an "IN" box. Teachers place copy requests in a large box (it's a regular 10 case standard paper box). They need to paper clip a requesition to the papers they want copied. In never fails, there are a few teachers who paper-clip along the side of the paper, not the top! What's so bad about that? When the box gets a lot of requests, I need to go through and prioritize, according to when they need the copies ready. If everyone has their requests paper-clipped at the top, I can easily see all the info. Those side-clipped papers need to be pulled out and re-paper-clipped.

whew! I feel better! Thanks!

Hey did you marry my husband?
MY husband does the same thing. He loves to open new milk. So me being me taped a note to the fridge saying do not open a new milk to the old one is gone and carton is the trash. If caught doing this you will be fined.
Thank You the Milk cop

I have so so many. I went to the grocery store this morning and it was packed. What a dreadful time! There was about 100 people at the deli, and this woman ordered literally, 2 slices of this, and a slice of that. Ughh!!! Drove me crazy!

Anyone else have little things that bother them? Or am I just insane????

Well, we all have those little issues that push our buttons, but maybe she's single? I don't order my turkey and roast beef by the slice by I sure do order it by the quarter pound!

#1 pet peeve: when people allow their pets to roam freely

That's not a pet peeve. That is my number one "if you're going to have a pet why the hell don't you take care of it and keep it out of harm's way" peeve.

My pet peeve... long fingernails on men. It doesn't creep me out nearly as much as it used to, because I'm not required to wait on said men at my job any longer. But when I was a cashier and then a bank teller, it totally skeeved me out.

 

[Talking Hands]

Parents that do not remove their screaming child in restaurants. A few whimpers are understandable but full blast screaming is not.

People who do not understand that although I can hear them talking I may not understand all they are saying because of my hearing loss. This is especially true if you are behind me.

Not having a car. DD#2 has mine so I am without. May soon be solved though. FIL may give us one of his.

Hearing people that interrupt when I am talking with a deaf friend. It is rude and if you wouldn't interrupt a hearing person's conversation you shouldn't interrupt a deaf person's either.

People that don't make a 100% stop at a stop sign or a RED light -- they just roll on through.
