Weird Pet Peeves
 

What are some of your weird pet peeves?

I can't watch someone brush their teeth...it sickens me

The sound nail clippers make when they cut off a nail - can't STAND that.

The sound of people whistling.

Drivers who pull their cars too far forward at traffic lights and block the pedestrian crosswalks.

Taking stuff without asking.

Um, you know, like, people that, uh, use way too many, uh, like vocal pauses when they talk. Like, especially the word like, you know?

Stupid, pointless threads on greekchat (and no, I don't mean this one;)).

People who don't pronounce the Letter "h" like as in Human and Humor. It's not UMAN (you-man) or umor (you-more).

The sight of feet makes me shiver for some reason. In other words, I get peeved when people show them off (i.e propped on the dashboard, hanging out of car windows, walking around public places barefoot, etc)

1) The sound of silverware scraping a plate...gives me the willies. 2) People chewing their gum like a damn cow.
3) Snoring

When you are driving and someone cuts you off and goes slower than you
When I anwser my work phone saying "thank you for calling Mechanics Bank this is sarah." they go, it this "The Mechanics Bank?"

I work at a Marine Science Center and in the hands-on lab we have little sea turtle hatchlings that died a long time ago and we keep them preserved in jars so people can see what they look like. . . I always get asked the same question at least once a day. . ."So are those hatchlings alive??" :eek: Yes, we always keep baby turtles floating in Mason jars. . . HELLOOOO!!

That "popping" sound people sometimes make when licking their fingers.

Being in bed with dirty feet.

Saying the word "nipple".

People who don't use coasters.

It really annoys me when I let people drive my vehicle and they screw everything up...they re-adjust the seat and then leave it, they tilt the steering wheel at a wierd angle and leave it, they change the radio station and leave it, etc. I have things the way they are because I like them that way, so the least you can do when you drive someone else's car is to put everything back like it was when you're done. :p

I hate it when people dont put dvd's or cd's back in the right case. There's nothing worse than grabbing Goodfellas and getting scary movie.

My pet peeves:
- people who don't get what you're saying even after explaining it to them a thousand and one times (think SKEPi)
-fingernails scraping on a chalkboard
-egregeiously bad grammar
-really rude people

Grrr
 

When you hold the door for someone and they don't acknowledge and say thank you...oh and my worst would be when people's tags are sticking up lol

people who leave cds and dvds out instead of putting them in cases

chewing.

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 do a slaughter job at prouncing some words...my extended family is good at this
(it is MEN not MENS). "She is involved with all those mens" :rolleyes:

I can think of some more...I will get back to you

pet peeves:
people who smack their gum.
people who don't put their cell phones on vibrate during group presentations or better still turn them off.
girls who wear spaghetti straps over a dirty bra.
tight white capris with the underwear showing through.

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)

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

Haha...it really is. It's such a bizzzzatch to clean rings offa glass and wooden tables! I guess that's just the waitress in me.

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?!

My biggest pet peave is the middle class.

-Rudey
--They'll never be old money.

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.
-Soccer Moms

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.

People who don't use their turn signals

People who drive 10 miles UNDER the speed limit

Those groups of people in the mall that insist on walking at a snails pace, but take up the entire aisle so you can't pass them

not putting the cap back on the toothpaste tube (my boyfriend is physically incapable of this :mad: )

Not saying excuse me when you burp, even if it's a quiet burp.

Getting a new CD and finding out the artist didn't include the lyrics in the liner notes (I now check the side of the CD before I buy it to check the thickness of the booklet, but sometimes it's just a lot of pictures and thankyou's so it can be deceiving)

My co-worker Sean (literally every single thing about this boy annoys me **shudder at the thought**)

People who say "pitcher" instead of "picture".

When you pass someone who's going really slow on a 2 lane road and then they speed up to ride your tail caz now they have a leader and don't have to worry about a ticket...

I can't stand when people wear white athletic socks with dressy shoes and nice pants.

this reminded me of something else that bothers me: people that wear socks with sandles.

people that use IDEAL when they mean IDEA
When I was in 2nd grade it irked me so bad for show and tell I used the Dictionary and read both definitions to the class and I told everyone that they should now know the difference... there are adults that do this- QUIT IT! My ideal world would have people saying IDEA not IDEAL when they have a though.

People who don't shut the lid before they flush. If you knew what kind of sh*t (literally) that flies up during a flush you wouldn't do that!

Toothpaste left in the sink or on the countertop

People who beat the stink out of their kids in public

Perfect strangers that ask overly personal questions

Kids in make up

Anyone under 18 in slutty clothes. And anyone over 18 for that matter.

You must have been driving through Green Valley recently :D

Mothers who allow their preteen daughters to dress like Christina Aguilera

People who just sit there for a couple seconds after the light turns green

When I buy a CD, get to really like a particular song, and then all of a sudden someone else discovers it and it's all over the radio all the time...completely ruins it for me

When I get really into a little-known band and then a couple years later they hit mainstream and everyone says how cool they are and what big fans they are of them...um, hello, I've been listening to them for years!

That high-pitched scream small children seem to be wonderful at, especially in public places...makes my ovaries shrivel

When a co-worker of mine leaves DISGUSTING messes for me to clean up (I work at an animal hospital so you can imagine how gross this gets!)

What drives me up a wall:

1. Nail clipping (ESPECIALLY at work - in the office - do your hygiene at home)
2. Snapping of bubble-gum (loud and invades my hearing space - reminds me of hookers, or a dumb waitress)
3. Scraping the fork when eating (eat the food, not the silverware)
4. Someone who apologizes for everything (you don't have to say "sorry" every freaken time)
5. Overly huge, fat, obese people who drink diet soda.
6. Slow drivers, especially over 60 year olds who should be playing bridge or something. I am a HUGE supporter of yearly driving tests for old bags who should be off the street. And YES, I WILL ride your ass all the way to my destination.

People who say "liberry" and not library. There are strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, gooseberries, boysenberries, cranberries, blackberries, but there are NO liberries.

Take the "r" out of "warsh" and put it back in "liberry" where it belongs.
