Personal Pet Peeves

Recommended Posts

People who repeatedly "test" the handle of the locked door of a single-person public restroom, trying to harass the user into finishing faster. I caught somebody doing that to my elderly mother in the supermarket yesterday, and I almost kicked his ass.

Supermarkets where they impliedly "expect" you to bag all your stuff at the cashier lane. Excuse me, I just spent $150 in your store, the least you can do is bag my stuff. Oh, you've got the old-fashioned set-up where the cashier can't easily scan-and-bag? Yeah, that's my problem.

Supermarkets where they don't clearly mark the prices on the shelves, etc. so you can easily comparison shop among the items.

People who don't know how to chew with your mouth closed and smacks his food when he's eating. You dont have to sound like a cow while your shoveling the 3 dounuts down your fats ass mouth!



That goes double when its a fat ass COP doing it. :|:D

I refuse to bag my own or to use one of the self check lines. The store didn't reduce those jobs to control price, but to maximize profit. If I'm going to have to work for Publix, they can darn well provide me pay and benefits.

Over here most people think that groceries get bagged by a supermarket employee only in Hollywood flicks.

It drives me nuts about people who don't use turn signals and weave in / out of traffic as if the 20 seconds they gained when I catch up to them at a red light really helped.

The turn signal thing though, if I'm waiting at a busy intersection trying to get out.. is clear one way but not the other and some ass comes and turns.. I could of made my turn, but now I gotta wait while the line of traffic that wasn't coming the other way is now on it's way.

I'm sure most people can agree on my pet peeves.

Mine is similar to yours except when I'm trying to merge on the freeway and the speed limit is 65 mph and the jackass in front of me is going 35 mph and constantly hitting their brakes while merging onto a lane that is protected. Get the fuck out of my way!


I absolutely agree! I can't understand how people can't get up to 65 mph (hell even up to 45mph would be nice). How they can have a long entrance ramp that goes down hill and not make it to speed frustrates me! If you just coasted you would make that speed. Its not just one day its every f***in day! I wanna get home from work... I don't care if you don't!

Gear posted for sale without the particulars listed.

(Glad that you have a Javelin for sale, but what size is it, what canopies will it hold, when was it built, serial #, etc? )

People that block up the parking lot waiting 15 minutes for some one to load up thier car with two carts of groceries and five screaming kids, only for a space that's just twenty feet closer to the front door.

(Park a little further away and enjoy the walk, asshole.)

Poorly-managed kids in public places.

Dog crap at the DZ.

Yeah, some of the stupidest shit I see in the parking lots... When I pull in the lot, I just go right for a group of open spots near or at the edge of the mass of cars and walk. I'm already in the store before the lazy assholes who pulled in before I did, finally park their cars. :S

1) People who don't wash their hands after using the toilet - come on dude! You just wiped your ass and now you want to shake my hand? how about employing some basic fu**ing hygene.

2) The swerving/speeding drivers - where the hell do you think your going? Oh, and slow the fu** down. You hit me 'cause your being an ass... stand the fu** by.

People who say they will call but don't. If you're not interested, JUST FUCKING TELL ME!!

And then, if they come up with some lame excuse, it's even worse - that means they think you're a fucking moron.

Men: grow some testicles. Don't say you'll call when you have no intention of doing so. I once had a guy look at me and say quite plainly: "sorry. I'm sure you're very nice, but you're not my type." I thought "wow - simple yet effective.. now I have *no* reason to hope for *anything* to come of this" & I let it go instantly.

Shit! I'm *angry* today!!!!:S:ph34r::ph34r:

How hard is it for people to actually put their cart in the cart area instead of letting it hit and scratch my car? Every ding and dent in my car are from other people in parking lots and their carts.



DITTO!!! That and people who drag their feet.... c`mon how freaking difficult is it to pick up your feet when you walk.

The funny thing is it happened or happens at every single gym I used to go or at the one I currently go to. I thought people go to the gym to exercise? Yet they seem to be very concerned about their proximity to the entrance...:S

Yup that irks me as well, as does people who are driving the exact same speed in the passing lane as in the right lane and both are driving 20 miles below the speed limit. I also can't stand people who snap their gum. If you're chewing something I don't want to have to see or hear it.

I lost your number.
PM it to me again, and I'll call. Promise:)
But I hope you will understand if I wait a few hours until you've calmed down.:|

I hate people that stand in line at a sandwich shop for 10 minutes and wait until they are asked by the cashier before actually thinking about what they are going to order. Then, it's not enough that they have to mull it over, but they have to do something "special" to the order like substitute the chicken with turkey. Crap dude, if you want a turkey sandwich order a freekin' turkey sandwich!

Perhaps you should look at it a favor. Perhaps they're just afraid they might step on you.

Hmm.. You must be thinking of someone else who's less attractive & has lower standards :o:ph34r::ph34r::D:D

And I *AM* FUCKING CALM!!!:P

Other pet peeves: when your colleagues or boss blatantly take credit for your work - especially when they're cowardly about it & do it behind your back thinking you might not find out.. I know *everything*!!! :D:D
