What's your pet peeve?

[AlexandNessa]

I have a stupid pet peeve. I really hate it when people call you on the phone and can't say "hello" or "hi" or offer no greeting whatsoever when you answer the phone. The caller starts with, "Is Bill there?" I hate that. It takes a half a second to say "hello."

My biggest pet peeve has to be people who sing the Star-Spangled Banner as if it is a career move. I could go on for days about this but then I would be guilty of violating Pop Daddy's pet peeve

People who say they feel badLY about something. I feel BAD not BADLY, the same way I feel happy not happily.

But my absolute worst pet peeve is when I find myself slipping into misuse of English.....seems to be getting worse as I age

What is that old adage? You become what you hate?

Wow - great thread. I've learned I'm guilty of two peeves.
I forever vow to say "iced tea" from this day forward and never more add the word machine after ATM.

My pet peeve is the sign every state seems to have:

Tag applied for

The same three words can be used properly

Applied for tag

Isn't it funny how these little things can drive you crazy

Another one, probably my biggest, is when I see people with the Christian fish on the back on their car that has Darwin on it and the fish is evolving. It bothers me to no end. They can have their beliefs, but don't take someone else's faith symbol and desecrate it to mean something ridiculous. Come up with something new. This bothers me a lot!!!

Another pet peeve of mine is to be interrupted! My kids do it all the time, and it drives me nuts! Why can't they "get it"? Ugh!

I hate it when people do not use blinkers. I mean, come on! All you have to do is extend one finger and flick!!! It's not really that hard. And if you are lane changing, it is even more important to use your signal, and easier too. All you have to do is extend your finger, move it ever so slightly up or down, and hold it for a moment until you have executed your turn.

And don't bother putting on your signal when you are three quarters throught the menuver. I have figured it out by then.

And if you have to slow down or stop to turn, not at an intersection (example: into a parking lot) Put on your signal before you brake, so I have a clue why you are stopping in the middle of traffic!!!!!!

Phew, that felt good.

This is one of my major pet peeves too. How difficult is it to flick the dang thing, for Heaven's sake.

Another thing is when people cut me off then turn 10 seconds later!! Holy cow, you couldn't wait the 3 seconds for me to pass you before got on the road???

 

[MinnieM21]

People who lick their fingers or really get into it and lick all of their fingers like their eating them. eewww it's SO gross!

People who scarf down their food like the world's ending.

Teenagers who like to "show off" while driving. SOOO annoying!

Slow drivers who have a line of cars backed up behind them and they don't even pull over so people can pass them.

People who make rude remarks about you when they don't even know you or people who make fun of others who have physical disabilities.

People who ask me how old I am.


Jeez, I have a lot!

Parents who won't say no to their kids. Instead of saying no, they want the teacher to make new rules that will affect everyone. That way they're able to tell the child they can't do something because the teacher doesn't allow it.

Another pet peeve, parents that allow kids to run the house. If you can't control a 5,6,or 7 year old, what are you going to when he/she becomes a teen??

 

[macraven]

i could break someones legs when i hear them CHEWING ICE.................

[Robinrs]

Oh, yeah, I'm with you with the kids, disneyjunkie! My favorite line was from Mother Love... Motherhood is not for WIMPS!

I would like to add:

Grown people who giggle at double entendre jokes (grow UP!!!)

Threads that turn into CHAT rooms....

People who give themselves titles instead of allowing others to give them to them....

I could go on and on and on....

 

[Feralpeg]

I hate tailgaters and people who speed up to get through a yellow light when the have plenty of time to stop. I hate it when they curse me out because I actually stop when the light turns yellow!!!!!!

 

[gymnasticsmom68]

Threads that turn into CHAT rooms....

Me too!!!

 

[elmosmom]

Standing in line~~~
Children that scream super loud for no reason
Motorcycles in the middle of the night--or loud car radios late night
People that use the expression,He was like--
I hate to say this but people talking on cell phones while they shop---especially Jacobs girlfriend. I learned alot more about Jacob then I will ever need to know.

 

[VaGal]

I agree with Tailgaters and lets not forget people that leave shopping carts right against your car when the cart return is only a few steps away. Oh and friends that constantly ask for advice over and over ( drama types) and they never listen to a word you say..ughhh..why even bother LOL ahh much better now
