Is that really a pet peeve, or are you quoting my favorite line from Dragnet?:)

- My freshman year roommate never said "Bless you" when I sneezed... thought that was incredibly rude since I always say it and always said it to her.

- When I stop and wave someone to turn in front of me or merge in front of me and he or she doesn't wave thank you... I don't even know why I bother anymore because most of the time I'm not acknowledged.

- Completely agree with RedFox... I hold the door open for everyone because I'm too nice, and people don't even say "thank you"!

- When people lick their fingers while cutting a cake and use those same fingers to put the slice on your plate... gross.

HAIR ON THE SOAP! BUHHHHHHHHHH! There's nothing more disgusting than seeing hair on soap. It just drives me bonkers.

I also can't stand toothpaste stains in the sink. It's not that hard to spit into the running water so that there's no toothpaste left to clump up in the sink.

Dirty dishes left in the sink unrinsed. BUH! That's just wrong. The food starts to rot on the plate and then won't come off. Icky!



AND THE BIGGEST PET PEEVE OF THEM ALL:
(mind you I work at a jewelry store)
WHEN A CUSTOMER ASKS FOR ME TO CLEAN THEIR RINGS AND THEY CAN'T GET THEM OFF SO THEY LICK THEIR FINGER AND THEN HAND YOU A NASTY, GOOBERY, WET RING AND EXPECT YOU TO SMILE AND CLEAN IT? HELLO?!?!?! WHY DON'T YA JUST SPIT ON MY HAND :rolleyes:

people who stand in front of the door of the t so you have to maneuver your way around them to get on and off. and the people who stop at the top or the bottom of the stairs trying to figure out where to go so you sometimes miss your connecting train because you can't get around them... sometimes i just want to take them out on my way to and from work everyday!

Talking on cell phone while driving

People who talk with their mouth full

Not cleaning up mess on the toilet seat (I know its gross but clean up for the next person)

xok85xo 07-25-2003 08:33 AM

computerized talking animals creep me out(think the movie 'cats & dogs')

slow people (walkers or drivers)

when you hold the door for someone and they don't say thank you

I can't stand when people don't use turn signals. You are supposed to signal 100 FEET BEFORE YOUR TURN!!! Driver's ed anyone?!

People who say stuff like "I be thinking like we gone leave about 5" or other improper english....WE ARE IN COLLEGE friends, learn how to speak!!!

People in college who can't read well and still sound like they are in third grade when they read....I hate when the teachers make them read something aloud in class, in drives me NUTS

People who eat really really fattening food all the time and then complain about being overweight...well wtf do thinkn is gonna happen?? :confused:

People who talk, and talk, and talk, and then oh yea, they keep talking. SHUT UP ALREADY!!!!

Also I agree with Hootie, who doesn't know how to wash their toothpaste out of the sink? Or their hair for that matter, SICK SICK SICK!!

People who don't flush the toilet, I don't get it, is it really that hard to do?!

Don't ever come to MA! I think the only time I've used my turn signals was during my driving test...NO ONE uses them here, unless you're switching into the passing lane on the highway. (People are driving 90+ in that lane and you need to warn them that you're only going 75 at the moment.)


my pet peeves:
-When people lick their fingers to sort through stacks of paper
-Teeth scraping on forks
-When I answer the phone @ work and say "Good afternoon Sylvia Group Insurance may I direct your call?" and the person on the line says "Is this Sylvia Insurance?" or "Where did I call?" (I JUST TOLD YOU!) or "Are you open?" (NO, HERE'S YOUR SIGN.) or "I need to talk to someone." (THAT'S NICE. I WAS WONDERING WHY YOU HAD CALLED.)
-When people don't drive around cars making turns. (un-official MA driver LAW to pass people making turns...on the left AND right.)
-There's a 2 lane street in my town where it's an unspoken rule that you use the right lane if you're turning right onto the highway and the left lane if you're going straight. ALL the locals follow it, which makes it kind of dangerous if you try to go straight out of the right lane. It's not a solid line betwen the 2 lanes so it's perfectly legal to go straight out of the right lane, but since so few people do it it drives me CRAZY when it does happen.

This reminded me... you will NOT believe this Hootie...

The other day, this woman brought in this... hunk of gold for me to clean. It looked kind of like a funny looking slide for a necklace, but I really didn't know what it was, so I dropped it in the cleaner along with everything else. But a few minutes later, I was brushing it with the little toothbrush when my boss runs over and says to me in clenched teeth, "Stop that right now and give that back to her!" Apparently it was someone's gold bridge for their TEETH! I just could NOT believe that someone was tacky and disgusting enough to bring something that they wear in their MOUTH to have cleaned at a jewelry store!


My pet peeves:
-People who call too often... I hate staying on the phone all day
-People who pick their zits in public
-Mothers who take their strollers into stores that are VERY small... I understand that you've got to use a stroller, but it really clogs the aisles and then NO ONE can get by.
-People who play passing games with you on the highway... yes, I want to pass you, so please stop speeding up and slowing down on purpose. You are being an idiot, and it is not my fault that you are so bored on I-40 that you have to resort to this. You are also being dangerous and probably scaring some old ladies half to death.
