Pet Peeves

[tony609]

I work children's retail and I hear it all the time. None of us at work get it when we hear it.

I have never heard anyone say that , but I would be interested in hearing someone make sense of that one as well .Calingl a child..even a teen "momma" I can not figure out why people use half the "endearments" they use ... BOO BOO , BOOGER ?!

I always made fun of people who called their kid "bubba" - until I had my third little baby girl and, I have no idea how this came to be, but from the day she was born I have called her "bu-bies". It's the stupidist most ridiculous name ever and I call her it even in public. I have been known to embarass the life out of my ten year old by calling "bu----bies!!!" very loudly to the baby in the presence of her friends. Lol* I'm sure I will be annoying somebody at Disney with it too...loL*

Not a creeper not one bit, but when you are standing in line for Space Mtn and someone cuts the cheese, if you are standing anywhere in the vicinity, you smell it. Wait until you get on the ride, hopefully the wind momentum is push it away lol

Just playful teasing I mean no disrespect I'm sure you're not a creeper or a toot-er. Lol* Heavens, with the bunch I'm going with it'll probably be somebody from my group doing the tooting... Eek!

People who get their knickers in a knot over nothing.

Hahahaha THIS!!! I wonder if it's an American thing to get so irritated over nothing or if this is just a manifestion of too many people in one place at one time?

Hmmm...I thought of another pet peeve just this morning...and this goes for Disney or anyplace else for that matter...

PEOPLE WHO TEXT IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONVERSATION. I don't have a fancy cell phone and maybe that's why I'm not up on this irritating trend. I don't text much, but when I do, I say "excuse me" if I'm talking with someone. It's just polite. Nothing says "I don't care what you have to say" like looking down at your cell phone when someone is pouring their heart out to you.

Who knew I had so many peeves? LoL*

Never heard it in Texas either, but I'm originally from California and my half-brother called his daughter "momma" or "mama" sometimes. But his family is Mexican, so maybe it's a cultural thing? IDK

Yeah, the only people I've heard say it were Hispanic.

 

[ttintagel]

First on the Buddy thing.

Some parents, myself included make a point to not use their child's name in public. Call it paranoia, what have you, people who prey on kids like to use their names to add a level of comfort. My son (who's in college now) was Skippy, Bud, Kid, Minion, Lil' Red (red hair, ex husband's name for him), Tex, Scout, etc depending on the moment.

We use a lot of nicknames in our family, too - just not ones that imply that an adult parent and a small child are somehow colleagues or playmates.

Oh forget it. I keep typing from my phone and it comes out wrong.

 

[lakelandgal70]

My biggest pet peeve is dangit why do all those people have to be on vacation the same time as me!!!

 

[snapppyd]

Yeah, the only people I've heard say it were Hispanic.

Ditto, as in "aye!! mommy!!!" It's like a term of endearment.

yeah with all the time in the year they have to go at that specific point. Drives me crazy!!

 

[tony609]

Maybe... I'll have to pay closer attention. It could be cultural. I haven't lived in in TX all that long. It could be a term of endearment, which it could be. Just wondered if there's any specific meaning. It's just different to hear a child called momma.

 

[livndisney]

Ditto, as in "aye!! mommy!!!" It's like a term of endearment.

And to some it is not and can be considered insulting and rude. "I am not your mommy".

- people in CS line not knowing what they want to order when its their turn you have been staring at the board for 10 minutes
- people who try to squeeze in the parade line at the last minute like I have not been standing here for 30 minutes
- people who do not move all the way to the end when sitting for a show how are the rest of us suppose to get around you

This is my list too. Esp the first one. So youre waiting in line for 10 minutes, what are you doing that whole time? Most people have enough common sense to decide what to eat WHILE THEYRE WAITING, since there's nothing else to do.

[jm106]

People who stand in a packed like and spray their kids with 75 sun block(or any). Please, do it off to the side, where it's not getting over everyone else, in eyes, on others clothes.

I think it's actually spelled Hakuna Matata!

I think it's an American thing. Honestly.

And maybe even more so, it's a culmination of everyone thinking more of themselves and less of how they are impacting others.


Really how many countries have Road Rage?

And before Road Rage was their Buggy Rage? Horse and Wagon Rage?

We use a lot of nicknames in our family, too - just not ones that imply that an adult parent and a small child are somehow colleagues or playmates.

I don't even pick up on Buddy, honestly.

My dad was named for his father and was called Bud instead of Harold or Jr. (Course Bud was shortened from his mother calling him Buddy.) So Bud and Buddy to me is just a tie to the previous generation.

I think it's likely having more to do with parents spending less time with their kids and wanting to make the most of it. (Or be the nice parent.)

How is Buddy any more familiar than Sport?

(Now if someone was actually saying to the kid I'm your Buddy, not just using it as their name but hammering home or insisting on the theme than I agree with you.)

This is another of my pet peeves.

I can't stand parents waiting in line, playing on their smartphones and completely ignoring their children. We were in line for Rapunzel last year and 3 kids went inot the landscaping on the left side of the line and were playing on the dirt/rocks/bushes. The boy proceeded to drop his shorts and pee on his sister's foot, so sister started screaming. Finally the mom looked up from her phone...argh....keep your kids out of the landscaping and a 6 year old should not be peeing in front of 100 people. Maybe look at your kids every minute or so if you are so attentive to your internet/texting/whatever. I see this at the park & store all the time too, drives me batty.

Why would someone else give a crap what a parent calls their kid for a nickname? Really? Some people have too much time on their hands..my niece has several nicknames: pudding pants, little momma or momma( and we aren't Hispanic), monkey, baby girl. Although, she's potty training so I don't want to make her feel bad. I don't call her Pudding Pants to her face.

We just happen to be big on nicknames in my family. We make up code names for WDWtrips..my Dad is either Turkey Leg or Big Baby. My sister is Chicken Little. I have been known as Travel Agent or the Trip Nazi, since all the organizing falls to me.
