Whoa - you seriously, seriously read my mind.

Last night the bathroom thing happened to me - what on earth does a locked bathroom door mean to people? What part of locked means "keep pulling and knocking??"

The food assessing - I toooootally know someone who does that all the time. She'll be like "whatcha got there???" and of course that day it's always like a grille cheese and fries..

i got to read this post at just the right time. i so need to vent on my work pet peeves. i work in retail and our employees get commission for their sales. i really really really hate it when two or three employees start fighting over who gets the sale or who gets what percentage of the sale. and better yet, they keep bitching about it even after the sale is over and done with.

CRY ME A RIVER, BUILD ME A BRIDGE, AND GET OVER IT!!!!!

okay, i'm good. night!

--people who ask me repeatedly why I'm not getting married before grad school...some people don't understand that a wedding isn't the highest priority for everyone
--people who talk loudly on their cell phones about trouble with their significant other in a quiet lab and then get all annoyed when people are listening to them...hello, we couldn't help but listen because you were *shouting*
--crying babies at movies they really shouldn't be seeing
--parents who won't disipline their kids and let them run all over target shouting and running into people

That's all I can think of right now...

People who insist on clipping finger nails at work
People who grind their teeth while chewing
People who pop their jaws while chewing
People who snap their gum
People who chew with their mouth open
Old drivers
Drivers who go 1 mph over in the fast lane
People who can't control their friggen barking dogs
People who drive to Wal-Mart in their BMW to shop
People who publically yell at their kids (as if its their fault)
Fat people who come back from their buffet lunch with food stains on their shirt

1. people who can't read/listen/pay attention
2. bad drivers (I get road rage easily)
3. soccer moms who drive those big SUVs even though they really don't know how to drive (see #2 above)
4. litterbugs
5. moms with strollers in the mall/grocery store/public places
6. people who interrupt others when they're talking
7. being self-centered
8. making excuses when you should just tell me the truth
9. people who are obnoxious
10. people who won't return my calls/emails

Interns who don't know how to dress themselves. I've seen enough miniskirts, flip-flops, torn jeans and cleavage on Capitol Hill to last me a lifetime. Hey Einstein - you look unprofessional and everyone is laughing at you.

Speaking of people who don't know how to dress, I just returned from my nephews 6th grade promotion & the outfits I saw on some of the 6th grade girls made my jaw drop. I saw micro-mini's, plunging necklines, see through tops with black bras, 6 inch high heels, Tammy Faye make-up, & more Aqua Net on hair than should be legal. I was almost tempted to ask the parents if they say their daughter before she left the house.

One of my many pet peeves are funeral processions. They should be illegal. Who the hell came up with the idea to let a bunch of 80 year olds driving 1979 Sherman like tanks run through redlights?

I think I have more pet peeves than anyone alive. But honestly, who raised these people?? I'm 20 and I feel like an old lady sometime because all I can think is, "Where ARE their manners?"

The driving in Lexington is attrocious. On a regular basis people will:
-drive below the speed limit then brake check me when I'm only trying to remind them that it's not 25, it's 45
-not using blinkers, causing me to have to wait an extra 5 minutes before I can turn onto a road
-turn from not the turning lane, but the regular traffic lane (this one has seriously happened to me 3 times in the past year!)

If I can hear a person chewing AT ALL (whether it's gum or food), my stomach will literally turn and I have to move away. It's disgusting, close your mouth.

People need to dress appropriately for their size!! Low rise jeans aren't for everyone (I don't wear them and I'm a size 2). Very very very few people should be allowed to show any belly at all, it's just gross. I have literally seen people walking to class that have their butt hanging out of their skirts.. won't they stick to the seats?

I hate people who stand too close to me.. don't invade my little bubble!

Misbehaving children are the worst, especially when you're stuck near them in a plane. This past month, I was flying up to CT and a toddler was SCREAMing the entire time. It wasn't a scared cry or anything, he was just doing it out of boredom and the mother didn't say a word to him ONCE. What are parents thinking?

Anybody hypocritical. Don't call me out on something unless you are POSITIVE I can't throw it right back at you.

When people pretend to care about me, but really don't, honestly if you don't care to know how my day went, I'd rather you not ask than ask but keep walking when I start to talk.

Also, when people say they'll call me, but don't. If you didn't have time to call me back, why didn't you just say so?

People who get overly defensive. If I tell you you did something the wrong way, I'm not insulting you, I'm stating a fact, accept it and fix it.

When people ask for my advice and when I say something they don't want to hear they say "Who asked you?!"

People who are prejudiced against their own race. Like, just b/c I grew up in a white neighborhood, doesn't mean you're "blacker" than I am.

I was at TJMaxx and saw a 4 year old in flare jeans and a halter top. It was cute, but in a really sad way.

Truck drivers who don't take their jobs seriously.

I can't count the number of times I've seen these people swerving all over the road, running off the side, and not paying attention in general. Do they not realize that they have the potential to damage every car surrounding them? Maybe they just don't care since if they DO get in a wreck, they will come out of it without a scratch.

My Pet Peeves
 

,,,,

Anything my roomate does.

Specificaly:

Not refilling the ice trays.
Not taking the trash.
Ruining my non stick expensive skillet by using a fork on it.
Not wiping the countertops after you make a mess.
Never volunteering to clean anything in the house.
Having a cadre of random 'friends' in various state of undress on the sofa at times.

Someone at work decided to be considerate & bring in leftover fish for their lunch. I just finished eating my wonderful spaghetti when the smell hit me. The kitchen area & the entire office now smells of fish that they microwaved here.
This person is a real jerk-off & needs to go away.

Oh goodness......

People who go too slow in the fast lane.

People who don't use turn signals.

People who are in the right lane at a stop light, but NOT TURNING RIGHT!

People who don't pick up their feet when they walk. I hate that shuffling sound. Pick up your feet!!! :mad:

I dislike the color orange and snoring BFs.

My office manager microwaved tuna casserole one day. I about had to go home I was so nauseous.

* Wearing baseball caps at the dinner table

* Not letting people get a word in edgewise

* Smokers waving their smoke in everyone's faces

* Nonhandicapped people parking in the handicapped spots

* People who won't pull over for funeral processions or even ambulances! :eek: (It happens! The ambulance people then have to maneuver around them... grrr... good luck with that karma, buddy!)

ETA: I don't mind if people type in 1337 or say "w00t!", but it bothers me when they write "u" for "you", "2" for "two", and "4" for "for".... etc....

most of the management at my one job

People who don't know the difference between "you're" and "your". Basic grammar people.... You should have learned this rule sometime in elementary school.

Hell, I'll also throw in people who don't know the difference between "there" and "their" or "to" "two" and "too". Grrrr.

Ditto, Lindz.

Add to those, people who use "myself" when they should use "I" or "me," a la "It was up to Sam, Joe and myself to finish the task." Arrrrgh!

I believe the term for these people is muffin top. I heard this on the radio one day & just laughed so hard b/c it's true.

ROTFL! Seems appropriate :p

YES!!! You are so right. And the reason it's so annoying is that it is SO EASY to figure out which one is appropriate!

Holy crap, you are so right! LOL. Reading this just made me think of SO many girls that I see around here. :p

What about the jerks with girlfriends who flirt back? Those guys suck too. :)

Hi! How are you? Have we met? :D ;)

LOL. It's actually more like.... "Hey, I'm gonna hold your hand and hang all over you. But it's just cause we're holding each other up so we don't fall over (even though you're not drunk). Oh, but I'm not trying to hit on you, cause I love my girlfriend."

Riiiiiight. Then you shouldn't be ALL OVER some other girl! Ass. :rolleyes:

I've never done that. For me, its actually more like this:

Girl: Hey you, whats your name?

Cashmoney: Does it make a difference? I just want to make out.

Girl: Well, no. Do you have a girlfriend?

Cashmoney: I didnt ask you if you have a boyfriend. Stop asking some many questions and come the fuck over here so I can suck on your tongue.



And thats how its done my way. :D

Wow. You must meet some trashy-ass chicks! :p

No. I just like my bitches young and drunk. :D :p

Oh, good lord. Haha.

I suppose as long as they're LEGAL, then it's their bad if they're gonna be trashy. ;) But Cash, try to stay away from the high school chicks.

Hey, I had ONE chick that was a senior in HS but she looked 22 or 23 and was a baaaAADD BITCH. :D In my eyes there's no difference between highschool seniors and college freshman. The pussy is still the same. Shit doesnt loosen up that much in 12 months. :p

You have to admit though that there is a social stigma placed on it though. Age-wise there may not be a difference, but it is lookd at differently. ;)

Also, when I say legal, I mean at least 18.... That way you don't have to worry about getting arrested for statutory rape.

I suppose its its kind of like smoking cigs. If you do it reguarly its looked at as trashy. But if you're drunk off your ass you just gotta have one.

Haha. Oh geez, I'd better back off of this conversation before it starts to get offensive. :)

Oh no, we don't want to offend the wannabe advisor losers of geekchat.com :D
