    Pet peeves

    I've got many. But my latest is this:

    I like it when resturants give you extras or fill your plate/bowl/cup to the rim. You feel like you are getting your money's worth. Rarely does that ever happen. Most of the time you have to ask them to fill your glass, make sure there is enough cheese on the pizza etc. But there is one item they always give you too much.

    And that's ice cream sundaes to go. Why do they always have the ice cream & toppings spilling all over the outside of the bowl?!? So much so, you can't even put the top on the cup?!? Then you try to drive w/that laundry nightmare. Your clothes get all messy & hands all sticky. Gets on my last nerves.

    When people flick their cigarette butts out of the car. Something about seeing a flaming object (no matter how small) flying at me at 60 MPH "grinds my gears". Not to mention it's littering.

      I hated that on a boring ride home from cedar point late at night, at first i had no idea what it was.

      I HATE when people crack their knuckles, I just don't like it. Today one person after another in my anthropology class did it for 5 straight minutes. Sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me.

        I have many, but this one probably gets on my nerves more than anything else:

        People who eat their food or chew their gum loudly. There's a lady who sits a few cubes away from me at work and does both. I have to get up and walk around just to avoid gouging my ears out.

          I can't stand that either. I actually get a tingling/cringe feeling in my side every time I hear it.

              People who take too long at the driveup ATM.

              How long can you go without beeping? For me if it goes by 5 minutes I will give a quick honk to make sure they're alive up there.

                This dude Bob who clips his nails at his desk. To a normal person they probably wouldn't care but the sound of it is equivalent to taking a nail and dragging it across a chalkboard.

                  24 hour Mcdonalds thats closed but has all the lights and menus on..just got back from that great waste of time lol.

                  I cant stand it when someone does the inward bubble for their gum and pops it a ton. Some chick did that all semester behind me in math so I was glad to get the hell outta there

                    People who talk on their damn cell phones too loud like they are King Turd of Poop Island or something. This kind of person likes to talk about how important their day is to someone else at full volume- It sickens me when I'm in line or I'm in a situation where I can't get away from them.

                      People who take shortcuts & drive slow. If you've got all day, why take a short cut?!?!

                        Or that person that will pull right out in front of you with no one behind you. Then,they decide it is a good idea to drive at least 20mph's below the speed limit once they sand bagged you.

                          LOL. At my last job I worked with 2 guys named Bob and Rob - both were IT Managers. Both would clip their fingernails at their desk...especially when on conference calls. That always annoyed me as well. Can't they wait until they go home?

                            I will name a few of mine:

                            People who drive in the left lane of the interstate or parkway and drive the speed limit or only 5 mph over. I speed. Sorry, it is one of my vices. If you are not passing someone, don't be in that lane. And if you are passing someone, get on around them and get back in the right lane.

                            Popped Collars

                            Bluetooth Headsets--the only time you should ever wear one of these is if you HAVE to take a call while driving, or you are at your desk and need your hands free. NEVER EVER EVER at a restaurant table or out in public walking around.

                            Multiple Cell phones clipped to your belt--I am sure a lot of you do this, and I am sure you are great guys, but I don't like it. I don't even like one cell phone on a belt, but if you are so important that you need 2 or more phones on your belt then you are just a douche.

                              I've got a ton too but I'll just start with these.

                              Installing a toilet paper roll so that the tissue unwaps from the under side of the roll
                              Using the toilet paper down to the last few squares without fetching a new roll
                              Standing in my line of sight to the TV during the last minute of any show
                              Spam emails
                              Dust
                              Guys why use stalls to pee and don't latch the door
                              People who don't flush after themselves
                              People who "sprinkle" on public toilet seats, then leave it that way. At least wipe it off.
                              People who call you and demand, "Who's this?"
                              The way your nose begins to itch when you can't scratch
                              The fact that the worst pro baseball and football players will make more each year than the best teachers and nurses.
                              Fat women in white stretch pants with no underwear
                              People who pronounce the letter “h” as hey-che instead of ay-che.
                              Not washing hands after using the restroom and then eating something.
