What are your pet peeves?

Question

Does it tick you off when someone has had their house burglarized and they say "I feel as if I have been raped?"

Dont you love people who sit waiting at a red light, until it turns green THEN they put on their signal light?

How about people who just idle up to the red light when you are behind them trying to get into the left turn lane, and that light is already green but you cant get past the idler ahead of you?

Those people who as soon as there is an accident want the speed limits lowered?

Drivers who think doing 10 kph BELOW the speed limit makes them safer drivers, when it makes them a hazard instead?

People who completely go nuts at xmas, max out their credit, never mind spend all their cash and then moan and complain until July about the bills, but then do it all over again the next xmas.

People who phone you xmas morning and say merry christmas guess what I got and list off all 200 items they received even the roll of life savers in their stocking.

No peeves about other members questions and answers please -

Got another, guys single ads that read "I'm over 60 but I feel and look 40, wanting to meet women between 20 and 35"

Answer 1

All the thing you mention bother me too. My worst pet peeve is when someone wolfs down their meal and then blows their nose at the table. It's like the didn't even breathe during the meal and then have to blow their nose.

I know someone that would count s-l-o-w-l-y to 8 before pressing on the accelerator when the light changes to green. She said she wanted to be sure no one was going to drive into the intersection. 8 count. By the time she's done counting to 8, the light is changing. And she didn't care if people honked at her. What a nut job.

I hate when people litter and don't scoop their dog poop.
I hate when people chomp their food and smack on their fingers.

And I really hate when people brag loudly. Or the people that complain about their life over and over, but never do anything to change it.

Answer 2

Yay! Isotope - I have all of yours and then some:
My peeves - the "10 items or less" aisle has a lady with a months worth of groceries in FRONT of me! The newspaper boy gets the paper on my roof - instead of the porch! The bagger at the store packs my eggs under the sack of potatoes. All beauty operators - just take 1/2" off -and they scalp you and then have the nerve to charge you too! I could go on - but you get the idea!!!!!!! And I despise people who use the word HATE when they mean dislike. The word hate needs to be eradicated from our language and our world!

Answer 3

I guess I must be the mildest person on the planet. I get peeved at other drivers, but that's usually at night and because of astigmatism. It seems everyone's driving with his/her bright lights on.

What really are my pet peeves are misspellings, poor grammar and using the wrong word (the homonym, that is).

And, if you really want to see my temper flare, mistreat an animal or a child.

Answer 4

People who talk about themselves and their problems all the time. People who repeat themselves when they talk. Drivers who tailgate you. Drivers who get ahead of you and then slow down in the same lane. Control freaks drive me nuts. I try to avoid them. Getting in a check-out line in a grocery store or a Wal-mart and the person ahead of you is buying the store out and you have one or two things. People who let their kids run amok in a store or a restaurant.

Answer 5

My biggest pet peeve are people who blow their noses in a restaurant. I can't think of anything more disgusting than having to listen to someone clear out their sinus cavities while I'm trying to eat. Next comes the handkerchief that is then put into their pocket. I just can't get past that.

Answer 6

I'm 50 but feel and look my age and not wanting to meet women between 20 and 35...LOL

Answer 7

People that are on their cell phones 24/7 talking pure stupidity. People get a life and hang it up.

Answer 8

You had some good ones..

Around my area nextel phones are the big thing...
I hate it when someone starts calling your name and you have company or on the land-line.

People who hold up traffic to get a closer stop to Wal-mart door.

Answer 9

People that smoke in my car even though I have a " no smoking" sticker on the sunvisor,, and then the ones that will look at that same sticker and ask to smoke anyway,,, GRRR...

Edit: I smoke but not in my car or others cars or houses.

Answer 10

I don't get into road rage, or others financial problems, or cash flow. ergo, I don't get upset about things that I cannot fix and do not worry about a stop light or who turns when, I worry about me being a decent driver and a pleasant person to be around.
