The Pet Peeves Thread

Dodgerchick · 10-09-2009, 10:08 AM

It seems everyday I find something that ticks me off. Yesterday I attended a parent training where specialists take time out of their already hectic schedule to offer pointers on how to better communicate with our kids. We had a speaker who listened to us, offered advice, and was just great. In the middle of her presentation, one of the parents started having a side conversation with another parent. That really ticked me off. Show the speaker some respect and if you're bored pretend you're listening. Don't slap the teachers and therapists that already deal with a lot in the face by disrupting the whole lecture. I mean seriously.

What are your pet peeves?

Autumn · 10-09-2009, 10:16 AM

Similar to that, I hate when people have loud conversations during a concert. They always seem to end up sitting right near me, and I find it so distracting. And infuriating, I didn't pay to listen to them. And perplexing, why did they pay to listen to each other?

Mustang · 10-09-2009, 10:20 AM

Gum snapping, coffee slurping, using the elevator to go down 1 floor, chew with their mouth open, scrapping your teeth against a fork or spoon, scrapping a yogurt cup to get every last bit of freakin yogurt out, whistling, using the cell phone while driving, texting while driving, using the self checkout lanes with a cart full of stuff, racing to the next open register when you are at the back of the line with a bunch of people that are ahead of you.

I'm sure there are others.

Lathum · 10-09-2009, 10:21 AM

People who eat french fries with a fork. Cheese fries are ok.

Lathum · 10-09-2009, 10:21 AM

or people who eat all their fries, then move on to their burger/ sandwich.

Lathum · 10-09-2009, 10:25 AM

some others

People who clap after a movie, that is just stupid.

People who drive the speed limit or below in the left lane.

People who don't clean up after their dogs, if yo can't bend down to pick the dogshit up off the ground than don't own a dog.

People who are chronically late, we all have that friend/ friends that are 15-30 minutes late for everything, no matter what.

I do that, but only if I go to a film festival since the cast/crew are usually in the audience. But yeah otherwise I'm right there with you.

Autumn · 10-09-2009, 10:39 AM

Yes, not scooping after your dog is at the top of my list. The last week my son and I have had to walk around a series of piles of shit on the sidewalk someone left behind. Every day I have to worry, twice, about him stepping in it. What am I supposed to do, scoop it myself? I don't understand this thinking at all.

Racing to an open line when you just got in the back of a line, that's one of mine too.

We live in an apartment complex and have to walk through the grass to get to the bus stop. More than once we've stepped on some shit that some lazy ass owners didn't pick up (and it's dark it's not like we can actually see where we're stepping). It's even worse when it rains, the crap is all soft and it's just nasty. Like Lathum said, either pick up after your dog or don't own one.

Me too. The sandwiches stay warner longer, and the fries lose more by not being at their hottest. Always eat the fries first, especially for fast food.

Is that any less stupid than cheering for a sporting event while you're watching it on TV? And don't tell you've never done that for Brandon Jacobs or Eli, superfan.

Farrah Whitworth-Rahn · 10-09-2009, 11:06 AM

People who take infants and toddlers to adult movies. We saw Star Trek the night it opened and there were three infants in the theater. Get a damn sitter or Netflix the movie.

People who say "feel" when expressing an opinion. I don't care how you feel. I'd like to know what you think.

People who won't admit they made a mistake when they clearly have and/or try to blame someone else for their short comings. I lose respect for a person when they say "but it wasn't my fault!".

Blowing one's nose at the table. Also sniffing constantly rather than getting off your dead ass and getting a tissue.

I'm starting to think "People" is my pet peeve.

Before we sold our last home, there would be at least one pile of dog shit in the yard at all times because of the stupid ass neighborhood people who walk their dogs, let them shit in someone else's yard, and don't clean it up. I can't tell you how many times one of my kids would get precariously close to stepping in it.

Seriously, if you can't clean it up, don't have a dog.

Don't ever share a meal with my father. He is 79 and set in his ways. Ever since I can remember he has used a handkerchief. He keeps it in his back pocket and reguarlly takes it out and loudly blows his nose. During meals, at restaurants, thanksgiving dinner, wherever, whenever, and who ever is around. I'll never forget the first time my parents and my wife's parents, girlfriend at the time, all went out. I was mortified. It is the foulest thing I have ever seen. And the odd thing is he is a pharmacist and a total germaphobe.

RainMaker · 10-09-2009, 11:33 AM

People who need to pay with exact change everytime. Even if it's 88 cents, they need to dig in their pocket and give them exact change.

Parents who just let their kids scream and be obnoxious.

People at games who yell out stupid shit all game because they are drunk and starved for attention.

stevew · 10-09-2009, 11:36 AM

I hate it when I tell the retard "sandwich artist" at subway that I want a "little bit of mayo" on my sandwich. And then she drops a John Holmes sized load across my bread, and is like, is that good?

No, fucktard.

FrogMan · 10-09-2009, 11:48 AM

parents who don't know rules but feel the need to complain about the ref on any kind of play during their kid's games. Picka a sport, any sport.

people who leave their cart in the middle of the aisle, or worse, on one side of the aisle while checking something on the other side, thus blocking the whole aisle.

People who feel the need to touch the monitor screen when pointing something, thus leaving greasy fingerprints all over my screen.

People who lean on my chair when I'm at the computer, you know when they want to see something, or when I'm explaining something, and then worse, they apply pressure on the chair and I have to fight against it to keep the damn chair aligned.

When my kid or my wife is reading on my screen over my shoulder. Or reading over my shoulder when I'm reading a book or the paper.

People who feel the need to tear the paper towel in the office bathroom instead of letting the automatic thingie cut it properly. This causes the paper to go back inside and usually jams it up real good. IT'S GONNA CUT IT, DON'T NEED TO TEAR IT!!!

My list:

People who wait UNTIL they get on the freeway to speed up to freeway speed

People who leave their shopping cart in the middle of the aisle (yes, I push them out of the way)

People who think the fast lane is a cruising lane

People who pass you, then get in front of you and then slow down

PETA (they are beyond a joke)

Joe Buck

Carls Jr commercials for the over emphasized sound effects when someone takes a bite out of something

We can put serveral men on the moon, but can't sync up the traffic signals

Vegans...really?? Even the name is irritating

San Diego professional sports...come on, just buy a championship already!! The Yankees and Red Sox try and do it every year, why can't you?

Those stupid survey things that scroll across the screen when you are trying to read something

I have learned that you will get a smaller quantity of condiment if you don't ask. Inevitably if you ask for "a little bit" they give you more than the guy ahead of you who just asked for mayo.

Related to this. I just don't get why the "sandwich artist" at subway gives me a bizarre look when I ask for mayo on the bread. Sorry, but when I make a sandwich for myself I don't make it a dry sandwich with mayo and mustard in the middle. Yet, when I ask for this at subway, they give me a look and get an attitude like it is some special request or something.

I think this could be said about almost anything. Like the coach of a youth sports team, or the pimp yelling at his ho's....

Dr. Sak · 10-09-2009, 12:26 PM

People who bitch about calls in a sporting event and have no idea what the rules are.

Blaming the officials for losses...especially when they lose by 20 points or more.

Autumn · 10-09-2009, 12:49 PM

Oh, people who pull right out in front of you while driving, causing you to have to slow way down to avoid hitting them, and then it turns out they were only driving like a block up the road. Especially irritating when there was nobody behind me, and they could have waited two seconds.

Not as bad, I don't think, as my housemate who used to pull out his big knife and cut his nails at the dinner table. Including his toenails.

SportsDino · 10-09-2009, 12:59 PM

People that don't merge early, zip by you in the lane that is obviously closed up ahead, and then expect to be allowed to merge at the very end. Extremely inefficient for traffic, and plain rude and greedy. (If people did not do that the probability of a jam in the first place will decrease because everyone would just glide through the chokepoint instead of hesistating due to the late merger).

People getting right on my bumper when I have traffic in front of me. I don't want to get rear ended if something happens and you don't have the reaction time. I have had to very carefully time my braking once because of this to use every inch of following distance between me and the care in front because I had a 'I wanna go 90' asshole behind me and something went haywire up ahead. If I was a bit closer to the car up front instead of a good few seconds I would have had to go into the ditch and pray or get totaled.

If you want to go really really fast I know its a tendency to get behind someone real close and hope they change lanes, but it doesn't make sense when the lanes are stuffed and their is blocking traffic ahead. Think dumbass, no where to go, live with it!

You are lucky. I always change channel when I see one come on. The sad thing is, I like Carl's Jr, but, I definitely don't go there because of the commercials.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. As far as coaching a youth sports team, though, I imagine that many of those people have or had a kid on the team at some time. So they either felt obligated to do it or they really enjoyed it once. And pimps have to yell or they don't get any respect (err, at least that's what I'm told by my pimp friends). I only really mentioned bowling because that's where I see it. I see someone looking absolutely miserable, and they're not even bowling in a league or anything. They're just there. I can't imagine any situation that would cause a person to leave the house and go do a recreational activity that they apparently hate. I hate playing Barbie Horse Adventures on my Xbox, so you know how I get around that? I don't play it.

Then again, I also eat paste.

flere-imsaho · 10-09-2009, 01:19 PM

When two lanes are merging into one (or 3 into 2, or whatever) and everyone is reasonably merging together in an alternate pattern (like a zipper) there's always some jerk who speeds up the disappearing lane to cut in front of everyone.

This is true. I would kinda wonder about a guy who coached a U-6 soccer team and didn't have any kids.

Well, sometimes a person will go do something their significant other wants to do, such as bowling, a movie, rugby, mud wrestling, and Barbie Horse Adventures on your Xbox.

When you're in line at some sort of food dispensary with a menu displayed on a board, and you're standing behind a gaggle of retards for fifteen minutes, and they don't think it's appropriate to look at the menu and figure out what they want, until the exact moment they're actually standing at the counter, talking to the person ready for their order.

"What's good here?"

What would be good for you is putting in your order in less than thirty seconds, before I stab you in the neck with a pencil.

I went to HEB a couple Saturdays ago. Took 10 minutes to get out of the produce section. People were just staring at the produce and not picking anything out. I grabbed my grapes as I walked by, I wouldn't have had to slow down my buggy except for masses of asses. I never get pissed and can go to some happy place in my mind, but this was unforeseen. I'll never go to HEB on a Saturday again as long as I live unless jerry jones dies on a saturday. They have the best icing on their cakes.

It's supposed to be fun. If you hate bowling that much, why even go? __________________ No, I am not Batman, and I will not repair your food processor.

Especially irritating when there was nobody behind me, and they could have waited two seconds.

Extremely inefficient for traffic, and plain rude and greedy. (If people did not do that the probability of a jam in the first place will decrease because everyone would just glide through the chokepoint instead of hesistating due to the late merger). People getting right on my bumper when I have traffic in front of me. I don't want to get rear ended if something happens and you don't have the reaction time. I have had to very carefully time my braking once because of this to use every inch of following distance between me and the care in front because I had a 'I wanna go 90' asshole behind me and something went haywire up ahead. If I was a bit closer to the car up front instead of a good few seconds I would have had to go into the ditch and pray or get totaled. If you want to go really really fast I know its a tendency to get behind someone real close and hope they change lanes, but it doesn't make sense when the lanes are stuffed and their is blocking traffic ahead. Think dumbass, no where to go, live with it!

"What's good here?" What would be good for you is putting in your order in less than thirty seconds, before I stab you in the neck with a pencil.

TCY Junkie College Prospect Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: TX	I went to HEB a couple Saturdays ago. Took 10 minutes to get out of the produce section. People were just staring at the produce and not picking anything out. I grabbed my grapes as I walked by, I wouldn't have had to slow down my buggy except for masses of asses. I never get pissed and can go to some happy place in my mind, but this was unforeseen. I'll never go to HEB on a Saturday again as long as I live unless jerry jones dies on a saturday. They have the best icing on their cakes. __________________ I try to open things I probably have no chance of opening. Last edited by TCY Junkie : 10-09-2009 at 01:59 PM.

People who are rude to waiters or waitresses for no reason. Last edited by Dr. Sak : 10-09-2009 at 02:04 PM.
