I have a lot of pet peeves, probably more than the average person. However, I'll try to limit them to three of my worst ones. First of all, I hate the packaging that most products come in. Unless you own kitchen shears, you'll never get the darn things open. I'm talking specifically about those plastic domes that cover certain products. I've cussed and gnashed my teeth over the difficulty of opening these packages more than I care to mention, and wonder how people with arthritis in their hands can manage. I've even become so frustrated, I've actually thrown away perfectly good products because I couldn't get them open.

Secondly, I can't stand people who ask personal questions that are none of their business, such as, "How come you can't have children?", or "How much did that cost?" I always manage to shut them up by asking them, "Why do you want to know?"

And finally, I hate television commercials that interrupt an exciting movie every five minutes. One time I was watching a romantic interlude between two people who had not seen one another for 20 years. The man said, "My darling, what are we going to do to bring back the love we once shared?" She turned to him with starry eyes, and instead of her reply, some loud-mouthed fool shouted, "To clean your toilet, you need super-strength such-and-such scrub brush, and then blah-blah-blah, ad infinitum!" followed by 21 more stupid commercials. By the time the movie returned, the scene had changed, and we never got to know the heroine's reply. I made a pact with myself at that point that I would never, ever buy any product advertised on that channel. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing commercials are good for is providing a restroom break. Happy New Year to you, too!

I have some wierd ones...LOL

The ice cube tray. Don't put the freakin' ice cube tray back into the freezer with only one ice cube in it.

The pillows for the couch. They were put there for a reason. I'm pretty sure that reason wasn't so you could throw them on the floor to "be comfy".

The garbage can. If you have to yell "hey the garbage is full", that's a sign that you should get off your lazy butt and take it out. That's actually, if you can believe this..., not an invitation to shove more crap into it.

The trap at the bottom of the sink. After the dishes get washed, it's considered polite in most countries to go ahead and dump that nasty, wet, soggy food into the garbage. Preferably right before you take it out to the bin.

Bending pages in a book...yes, Virginia...there is a darn good reason that man created bookmarks. It's so you'll quit destroying my books by bending the pages all to holy hell. Bookmarks save you from having to listen to me whine about it.

I hate when your trying to talk to someone and they ignore you, even though they hear you very well..

And they also use that to push your buttons..

The next thing that gets me is, the telephone games..

Your on the phone to call to get help for the problem with your computer.. You call Tech support, then before you get to the person.. You have play 21 questions on the telephone, to get your help.. Then they put you on hold for another 30 min. wait..

A person that hate waiting on people, is my peeve. It shows with their attitude. If you do not like waiting on people, let some one do it that has a better attitude. If it is your job, change now, your customers deserves better.

I hate waiting in long lines in any store, I can't stand people who gripe all the time and they are never happy no matter what you do for them.

When people can't hear me and continually say HAH? HAH? (huh?) upstate ny ew! Being on hold. Stupid managers at places like Victoria's Secret that throw things at me when i try to return a broken bra who are just pissed off because they have a shitty job. And employers for part time work that abuse you becasue they are unhappy with their own jobs and are pissed youre in college and going places..Yea. Thats it :)

I hate it when I am trying to explain something to someone and they cut you off. My boss is always doing this and it ticks me off when he says that "YOU NEVER TOLD ME", knowing darn well that you did.
