Post Your General Pet Peeves Here

Hopefully, you & friends moving to the other side gave him a clue, but not likely.......

How you're raising your son about not interrupting is nice to know b/c many parents don't do that anymore, so there's more 'me, me, me' people growing up.

When my kids were teens, one time I was visiting a neighbor, sitting at her table. Her 16 yr old daughter sat down w/us, squeezing herself b/t Marge & I and said "the boys at school tells me I have kissable lips".... I looked at Marge, not a peep out of her. If my daughters had done that, they would have found their kissable lips parked in their BR in a heartbeat. That eve I told my girls about that, telling them how I appreciate them ... gawd, I can't believe some of these parents and what they allow their kids to do and Marge grew up in the same era when kids were taught manners.

This same couple had a son who was rude, obnoxious, really full of himself. He decided to join the Marine Corps. When I told my hunny who was a former Marine that he was joining, Tom laughed and said 'oh gawd, I hope he does join. They'll kick that arrogant (*)(*)(*)(*) right out of him".... When the guy came home on leave.... lol! What a change. Very respectful and polite......

I know what you mean about these bores who always have to 'one up' on you......

 

One word...Gossips.

 

Beautiful! And your boy is learning about being generous at such an early age. Yeah, you're doing it right, Nightmare - be proud of yourself.

When my kids were little, 2 months b/f Xmas I had them clean out their toys b/c of a new load coming in on Xmas. Sent the broken trucks, etc to GoodWill b/c they repair them... now we give food & gifts to SA Xmas Center.

When my son was a teenager, he had 2 friends who would call me "Mama ****" (surname) and that didn't bother me at all. In fact, I tho't it was complimentary, meaning they were comfortable enuf w/me to call me 'mama'**** and were always respectful.

Showing respect to older/authoriative people like cop, teacher, etc is now gone and has been for a long time. Look at it now. Teenage savages beating up senior citizens.......

Another one of my pet peeves are loud gun chewers! And even worse, chawing away w/their mouths open.... I leave. Can't handle that.

 

1. open cabinet doors and drawers (it wont make you sweat to close them)
2. people in the right lane at a red light who are turning right but wait for it to be green
3. a drop of fluid left in the jug and putin fridge
4. towels just flung haphazard on the bar

 

People at Wal-Mart who see somebody they know and then stand in the middle of the aisle yackin', completely oblivious to the fact that they are blocking everyone else.

 

People of obesity who decide to wear clothing designed for those several sizes smaller than themselves, to the point of seeming similar to overstuffed sausage.

Lycra should not be made above a size 18....under any circumstances.

 

People with excessive coupons at the super Market,,,kills me...

One guy [and this is really unusual] had THREE shopping carts full of groceries,,he had to have a couple of hundred coupons, and screaming at the poor girl at the register for not allowing some,,he was insane, all red in the face, his veins in his neck stretching, about to burst. His poor wife just stood there with her head down, this guy was a control freak,,unreal!

He could not care less that he was holding up the entire line of people, to him they did not exist, this was about him and his coupons,,screw you people!!!
My wife was running around doing her thing, I watched and hoped a manager might relieve the poor cashier, she looked so helpless as this guy abused her.

Finally he just cursed out the store and cashier and left with all his carts, they only refused about six coupons from what I could tell. I felt so bad for his obviously embarrassed wife, seems like this was not out of the ordinary for them. If you ask me, the guy is sick...., lets hope he has a ''Shrink'' coupon, he needs one...LOL

 

Wow.... yeah, that would have been rough to watch and your heart going out to the poor sales-clerk. For me, not to much for the wife b/c she chose to live w/him........

 

It was VERY hard to watch,,I wanted so desperately to say something, but what are you going to say to a nut like that? How utterly selfish, how wrapped up in himself. When you see something that over the line, you know it's more than just coupons this guy has a problem with.

Still I did feel bad for the wife,,I know she's with him but sometimes when you have kids,,,well.......I bet he's a real nice guy at the Beer Isle....LOL

 

There's nothing you could have said to that jerk to wake him up. Some people just cannot see themselves the way others see them.

Yeah, you're right about the wife if there's kids and especially if the wife is uneducated, I guess they're pretty much trapped. There's so way I could have lived such a miserable existence w/a beast like that.......

 

Lol. I have always said that just because they make it in your size does NOT mean you should wear it.

 

I'd change her if I were you!

 

I 'inadvertently' run my trolley (cart?) into them and er, apologise profusely!

 

Search feature bein' out...

... and no repair durin' early mornin' daily maintenance...

... after bein' notified beforehand.

 

Another pet peeve -- go in a jiffy store to buy one item, get in line behind some poor soul buying lotto tickets. He'll say, "Give me three of those, two of those. and one of those." Then he's looking over the display case and after a full minute he'll ask for a quick pick. Then he turns around and looks at the people behind him and proceed to tell everyone how close he came to winning a million dollars. After he gets his tickets he stands and looks them over and starts talking to the clerk, as the line behind him gets longer and longer. Then he leaves the store and gets in a clunker but it won't start. He gets out, lights a cigarette, opens the hood, and starts moving the battery cables around. This guy doesn't have two nickels to rub together--and if he's buying lotto tickets then that proves he failed math in school

 

What the hell is with women and checks? No man writes a damned check at the grocery store, and women, for reasons I do not understand, have never discovered plastic. Even that would not be so bad, excpet this is ALWAYS the way they do it.

Woman watches passively while clerk rings up items
Clerk tells woman the total price
Woman opens purse and starts digging for her checkbook
Woman finds checkbook, but can't find pen
Woman borrows pen from clerk
Woman writes check and gives it to clerk
Clerk asks woman for drivers license
Woman starts digging through purse for drivers license.
Woman gives drivers license to clerk
Clerk processes check and gives receipt and license to woman.
Woman stands exactly where she has been standing, while digging for her billfold again, in order to put driver's license in billfold.
Woman puts receipt into purse.
Woman adjusts purse on her shoulder.
Only at this point does the woman move so someone else can do a transaction.

 

When people can't hold a door or an elevator .....

That pisses me off....

When you're walking into a store and some clown lets the door hit you in the face? that is just rude...

I always hold the door....

 

I don't like SJW's either, however those are the people that tend not to hold doors... Millennials tend to be scared of everyone..

 

I have to ride the bus sometimes. There is a retarded kid on the bus who picks his nose and eats it. It is sickening, and I want to hit him. (True story) Other than this kid, so many people on the bus reek of booze and cigarettes--also sickening. Once I got on the bus, and I swear it smelled like someone had died on it at least three days before.

 

I stood behind her once. Small world innit?

Or for my American fellow posters - Small world ain't it?

 

Another pet peeve of mine is listening to all the elderly Asians on the bus speaking in their 'click, click' dialect. I hate it. I also hate how pushy they are; and I hate that they can barely speak a word of English, but are all on some kind of social services. One elderly Asian was ahead of me in line at the grocery store; and she didn't know how to 'work' her EBT card. The cashier had to punch in the numbers for her. (I didn't know that besides 'food stamps' they give out free money too on the EBT cards--that ticks me off.) I hate it that, in yoga, they act like they are all little Buddhas.

 

Another pet peeve is sitting around Mexican women with their broods on the bus; and listening to them speaking in their little quirky dialects. I hate it that their kids don't know a word of English yet they were all born here.

It ticks me off that I was in a fender bender, and it totaled my Jeep. You'd think they were a little sturdier than that.

It ticks me off when Ms. Cirrhosis downstairs get drunk, and starts nagging at her boyfriend. This went on all weekend.

Obese people tick me off too. I told my sons to invest in a wheel chair and walker company because everyone of them is going to need one by the time they are 40-50 years old.

So many pet peeves, so little time.
