I'm the kind of person that likes to just whip up anything to eat. Anything http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif! My pet peeve is when a person comes over....looks in my bowl or plate..... scrunches up their nose.... and says......"Eeeuuuuwwwww!! What is that!"

That fires me up!!

I cant stand bumperstickers on NICE cars......

I hate soggy bread...........

I am a vampire, so I stay up late, and like to sleep in as long as possible.....I hate it when people call you and ask "were you sleep?"...you say "YEAH", but they still keep keep talking--WHY'D YOU ASK ME THEN???

oh, i forgot........

women who wear jeans with socks and high heels (WTF?)

AND

people who walk out of bathroom stalls, fix their makeup, pick their face, comb their hair--and walk out the door without washing their nasty hands (yuk)

My Pet Peeve is...
When people don't ask for, but DEMAND directions. This is fairly common here in New York. Instead of "Excuse me http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif, Can you please tell me where Main Street is?" It's like..."Hey! You! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif Where's Main Street?!?" (This is said in the most rudest way possible.) If you take too long to think about it, they stare at you in disbelief as if you're the stupidest individual they have ever encountered (as if you're wasting their time). God forbid you don't know where Main Street is...then their like " MAIN STREET! You don't know where Main Street is http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif""> ?" And before you can respond, they shake their head and walk away. They stop someone else and start the process over, during which time, especially if this person knows where Main Street is, they nod over in your direction as if pointing out to them what a total loser you are for not knowing. I'm like...OHHH! Did you say Main Street? Main Street is right up my *ss!

Mocha, you are hilarious!!!

These are not pet peeves, but I can't stand it when:

1. People drive so slow and there is a lot of room in front of them and you are ridin their bumper because they won't speed up and you can't get ova because the other cars are there and you are stuck for a while.

2. People are madd shady....the ones that smile in your face and go behind ya back and say some ill stuff!!!

3. My mother says anything to me (we don't get along)

4. You help people out (money) and when you are stuck and don't have any they can't help you out.

5. My bratty ass brother gets away with everything.

6. Other people borrow my things without my permission.

7. Grammatical: people don't know the difference between there/they're/their

That's all I can rememba right now, but this stuff pisses me off really bad!

Peace and One

(1) 16 yrs old girls that are both screaming and crying at a concert. Hate that. Annoys me.

(2) Watered down beer. So watered down, taste more like water and you need to spend $20 to get buzz. (I'm talking about quarter draft)

(3) Fast lane, slow drivers.

(4) Begineer skiier deciding to tackle the black diamonds. Ruins the snow and put the rest of us in constant danger.

(5) INFOMERCIALS!!!!!!!!!

One of my pet peeves is when someone e-mails you to say " Long time no here from" ...then you send them a message...and they don't reply.

I remember someone saying that they didn't like really friendly taxi drivers. In a way I can relate. When I get in a taxi, I have to be asked the same foreigner-related questions for the upmteenth time. "Where are you from? How old are you? Are you married? (and when I say no) You're old enough (22), you have to get married!"

I really hate it when the taxi driver is so dense that he can't understand he has to speak slowly because I'm not a native speaker of his language. I'm sitting there saying "what?" and still all he says, really quickly is "mumble mumble mumble."

Speaking of annoying taxi drivers, one kept asking me yesterday if it really was true that black people have soft skin. "you have soft skin, don't you? you do, don't you?" http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif I demand to know why I get all the weird taxi drivers.

And you know they all spit. I know I said it in another thread, but that spitting thing drives me crazy. Not a delicate spit. Oh no, a big from-the-depths-of-the-soul spit. gross.

Here's my 2 pesos:

I cant stand when people drive slow in the fast lane.

Drivers who are more focused on their cell phone conversation than on the road, and slow to a crawl when the conversation gets intense. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif

Soccer moms who drive the Ford Excursion (or some other vehicle that was built to invade a small country) and they will proceede at 2.1 mph to cross a speed bump or railroad tracks. Why did you buy the car?

Someone who calls your house and then ask, "Who's this?" Hey buddy, you called me. Didn't you know who you were dialing, or did you just punch in some random numbers?

My biggest PP: When you are in class all day and you have NO money and all you can think of is going home and eating the leftovers you had from Chilli's last night when someone took you out to eat. "Mmmmm you think to yourself, those mashed potatoes and chicken fried steak are going to taste so good." They might not, but since it's gonna be your last shot at a real meal until your Pell check comes in, you're all about savoring the moment. You cant even focus on the last 15 minutes of class. it just about getting home to your leftovers. You rush home, fling your backpack on the floor and rip the door open to the fridge, and there's nothing there. You turn around and see the EMPTY styrofoam take-home contaner on the countertop all open and stuff with just some sad crumbs left over. And you look over and your slacker a** roomate is asleep on the couch (big dumb grin on his face) having just finished your dinner while you were in class and he was skipping because he was hungover. And your hunger is all consuming and all you have to eat is that damn package of Lipton noodles that has been in your cabinet for three months but you don't have any milk to make it with. Don't ya'll hate that?

Lifesaver,

I can relate to the fourth one. When people call me and ask, "Who's this?", I'm like,"I don't know, I'll have to get back to you on that one. But, in the meantime why don't you try telling me who you are!" Dah, like I'm actually gonna give this person my name when I don't even know who the heck it is!

To piggyback on that, don't you hate when you're like:

You: "Hello?"
Caller: "who's this?"
You: "um, who's this?"
Caller: "WHO'S THIS?" (getting more rude)
You: "WHO would you like to speak to?"
Caller: "uh, uh, is so and so there?"

Why do people do that?! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif If you would've asked that in the first damn place...aaarrgghhh! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif

ZChi I share you pain (and Peeve):

Phone rings, I answer it:

Me: Hello??!
Caller: answers in a foreign language
Me: hello
Caller: foreign language
Me: hello (strongly emphasizing my Canadian accent)...

God it is so annoying, obviously you've got the wrong number ahh! And when people leave messages on my machine in foreign languages, my brother and I have the british names around, obviously we don't speak anything else (except maybe Gaelic)

I forgot a couple:

1. When someone pages you, only waits about 30 seconds for you to return their call, then splits. Or when they don't have call waiting and they page you and the line is busy for 30 minutes. What, you weren't expecting my call?

2. Stupid questions. Anyone who has worked retail/foodservice feels my pain on this one. I'm a lifeguard (hence the logon) at a waterpark and I get the dumbest questions all the time. I am a bit of a smart ass, so I'll answer their questions, but sort of in an insulting way, so they aren't quite sure if they should be offended or not.

3. People who are paid to do a job and are totally inept. You're at the mall asking the salesperson if they have a shirt in a large size and they're like, "I don't know." i mean, what else do you do. That's your job, to know if you have the shirt in large.

Lifesaver, we share the same peeves! I absolutely can't stand when that happens! It's like "Heellllooo, what the hell are they paying you for?"

This is another peeve of mine....
I work as a computer consultant in the Medical School at my univ. One of my jobs is to assist med students who come to the front desk to check out materials like headphones, learning CDs, etc. This scenario happens to me quite often (and anyone working in customer service will definitely feel my pain/peeve):

Me: "Can I help you?"
Student: "Yeah do you guys have the cardiac case CDs ready yet?"
Me: "Uh no, they're still being made. If you come back tomorrow, they should be ready"
Student: "Oh...so, you guys don't have any?"
Me: "Um, no, tomorrow though"
Student: "Sooo, you can't get me a copy of it?"
Me: "No, we don't have any ready...at all"
Student: "Oh....hmmm...well I need to use it for my exam tomorrow. Is there any way I can get one now?"
(By this time, I'm 'bout ready to pimp slap some sense into this person! And these are Med students!! You'd think they'd understand plain, common English!)

Me: "I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do"
Student: "So tomorrow they'll be ready?"
Me: "YES"
Student: "Ok, thanks"

This happens to me at least twice every time I work! Some people just don't get it! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif
