Pet peeves

Peg · Post by **Peg** » Mon Sep 06, 2004 5:38 pm

What are the little things that really drive you crazy. I could fill up a whole book with mine but here are just a few for now.

1. People who cannot go driving, shopping, out to eat, etc. without their cellphone.

2. Minors trying to use a fake i.d. to get in a bar (Could be because I bartend, although at a private club now, but used to tend bar at a public bar)

3. The words "give me". Whatever happened to please and thank you? So many times I've seen people make their kids say please and thank you and then turn around and the adult says "give me".

In the Express line at Grocery store and the person waits till last minute and decides to write a check-and they allow it! Or get behind a WIC customer!

On topic - major peeve - people chewing with their mouth open - yuck

Like looking into a cement mixer. The eye of my imagination sees a whole

apple being pushed in, and observes the surprised expression on the face

of the chewer.

Breed profiling German Shepherds when you don't know a thing about them.

Flyers left under the windshield wiper of your car... especially when it's

raining!

What is a "semi" ? In the UK it means a one of two houses sharing a common

internal wall. It can mean other things (cough), but I don't know what it might

be on the road... an articulated lorry?

Pet peeves...

People who spit on sidewalks.

People who interrupt others.

Ok, I'll just say bad manners, since I could list 100s of pet peeves about that.

People who don't understand the "work" part of work.

High-pitched laughter.

Reality tv shows.

Running out of a necessity on a weekend, like Charmin or coffee.

What does "real-a-tor" mean?

Those who assist in the buying and selling of homes/property is what I believe she meant. It is commonly mispronounced real-a-tor.

Ah, I see. That word doesn't exist over here... we call them "estate agents".

There are other less polite phrases used to describe these people.

people who get scared passing a semi in the driving rain. DAMN YOU, PASS ALREADY AND GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!! pull over and let me through too!! gawd.

Oh yes I hate that as well, If you are intimidated by bad weather stay at home!

Tailgaters,

People joining motorways without looking and just assume they can pull out cos they're indicating

People who think there is a fast lane in the motorway (we have two overtaking lanes on our motorways you are not supposed to sit in the middle or outside unless you are passing something)

People at traffic light that don't notice they've changed and then drive off really slowly.

People cutting you up and changing lanes on roundabouts.

People in powerful cars pottering along at 40 in single carraigeways where you can't get past.

People who don't put on headlights when it's foggy.

People who go out and drive in snow despite the fact they are obviously terrified.

4x4 drivers that think they have a right to be in the middle of the road.

people who think it's OK to let their dog crap everywhere

Garages which don't service cars properly

sitting in traffic jams

idiots on mobile phones -doing 50 in the outside lane of a motorway cos he's on the phone. ban hands free as well

people who park in disabled spaces when they're not

Passengers who complain about being in a traffic jam when there is clearly no point

Back seat drivers who get offended when you throw them out. (my mother in law still hates me )

People who answer mobile phones and say "Can't talk in a meeting"-Why was it on and why did theyanswer it in the first place IT HAS AN OFF BUTTON YOU STUPID MORON.

Or how about, telesales when its the third or fourth time they've called. Prerecorded telesales. :-5

Let's not forget the prerecorded telesales that say, "Please hold for an important message". THEY call ME and think I am going to hold? :-5
