Ok, so I am driving home to have lunch with my ds. I am in the far right lane ( of 3 lanes) and approaching an intersection. The SUV in front of me...

(Here in Colorado, it is ALWAYS an SUV. In fact, I think the picture on the back of the Colorado state quarter will be of an SUV committing some sort of traffic violation. But I digress)

...decides that what they really meant to do was turn left at that intersection that we are right at! So, he comes to a dead stop and waits until he can get over 2 lanes of traffic to make his left hand turn!!!

Argghhh! What ever happened to continuing on to the next turning around point? I have even seen people stop and back up !
 
Every pet peeve of mine involves idiot drivers.
 
Whistling just drives me nuts and also people who chew like a cow.

Getting stuck in a one lane road behind 12 cars with the first one doing 20 mph UNDER the speed limit. I may lose my mind driving behind idiots one of these days!

One ply toliet paper - it makes me crazy!!!:mad:
 
Gum cracking drives me absolutely insane. My biggest traffic pet peeve is drivers that tailgate.
 
All of the above just grate on my nerves!

I was about to run this idiot off the road today because they were driving 30mph in a 45!:rolleyes: And, to make matters worse, she stops at a GREEN light, and I almost rearend her!

I think the heat really brings out the stupid in people!

With the chewing thing, it drives me up the wall! I am all over my girls about chewing with their mouths closed, I always have been. Unfortunately, my father in law is a big open-mouth chewer, so my youngest said, "Grandpa! Chew with your mouth closed! Gross!"
:eek:

One of my biggest pet peeves is two faced people! I cannot stand it when people are nice to your face, then mean to you behind your back. I also hate busy signals!
 
Atlanta drivers

verbal and written abuse of the English language

disrespect and abuse of animals, children and the elderly.

Ditto!!!

Like yesterday, I was on the freeway and a guy about 4 cars behind me decides to cut across 2 lanes of traffic while crossing solid white lines, and the rest of us who want to cut over have to wait for him to fly past us first.
 
Bad drivers!!!!!!! Tennessee drivers are the absolute worst! That is my main pet peeve, and I live in Virginia! (very close to the TN line). PLEASE, drive the speed limit if conditions warrant it !!!!!! And, stop talking on your cell phone. I am in a hurry to get to my manicure!

I hate when people use Anxious instead of Eager. I also hate when people say Ice Tea instead of Iced Tea. I have a ton as well with drivers, esp. drivers that don't know how to merge on the freeway!! Also people who are late. I HATE being late, you will feel my wrath if you make me late LOL
 
Looking for something in it's proper place and not finding it because someone hasn't put it back where it belongs!!!!! ARGH!

Putting my hands down or something down on something sticky or wet on the kitchen counters!!! ARGH!

People who talk on the phone and use the bathroom at the same time. ARGH! What is up with that!?!?! :confused: I can be on hold til they're finished, I don't want to join them! :earseek:
 
Right turn on Red... means IF no traffic is coming, it doesn't mean CUT ME OFF because there is a half of a car's length open in front of me!

and turning left from the right lane or vice versa!!

and last but not least... someone who drives up the left turn only lane and cuts over to the right lane going straight because they didn't feel like waiting in line...yeah bud, we're sitting here for our health waiting to let you into our lane!!!
 
People with too many items in the express lane at the grocery store.:rolleyes:

Also folks who insist on saying "ATM Machine". THE "M" STANDS FOR MACHINE!!!

Sorry...got a little peeved just thinking about it.
 
OK, I'll admit I'm easily irritated and we'd be here all day if I listed even half of my pet peeves, so....

here's a "pet" peeve of mine: Why is it that when you let the dogs out before bedtime that the dumb one seems to forget what she's out there for and starts whining after you are comfortably in bed?
 
People who claim they didn't realize they had more than 10 items in the 10 items or less line, and the cashiers that allow it.

Now, I apologize up front to women, but in my experience they are the most apt to do this: Watch the checker scan all your items, give you the total, THEN break out your pocket book to count out your money. THEN fold every one of your bills you get back in change and put them back in your pocket book, THEN put the pocketbook back in your purse before you leave the checkstand. Granted I've seen some men do it, too. (but not with the purse)

People that are waiting in the X-ray line at the airport that act like they've never been there before. I KNOW YOU HAVE! Now, take out your computer, take out your change, take out your metal.. do that WELL BEFORE you get to the machine!!!! Sheesh!!!

OMG!!! SOOOO annoying!!

Also, the fast lane is called that because it is the FAST LANE!!

I also HATE it when no one changes the roll of toilet paper and EVERY SINGLE TIME I sit down there is a cardboard roll with no TP on it. It's become a joke because everywhere I go, I have to change the paper. Friend's house, parent's house, work, public places. . . EVERYWHERE!!

People who run their mouth and have no clue what they are talking about

When men have tails. They keep their hair real short, and leave a little tail to hang in the back. If I was a hair dresser I would accidentally CUT IT OFF every time someone came in with it.

When people dress in their all black with a million piercing. ENOUGH ALREADY! We get it. You are striving for attention. I recently saw that in Europe kids are piercing their eyes. YES! The whites of their eyes. They have ran out of places and have moved to their eyes.

AND a major ewww to all those people who get those giant holes put in their ears. (I can't think of the name of it but it looks ridiculous)
 
People that tailgate me. Just because I only drive 5 mph above the speed limit I'm not committing a crime. I especially hate the idiots in the big Dodge Rams that stay attached to my bumper. Yeah this happened yesterday and it only got worse when he blasted his horn as he was going by me. Course then I looked and it was a teenage boy:rolleyes:
Sales tax. I come from a state with no sales tax. The tax always messes me up, because even though I should, I don't expect it.
