Pet Peeves

[chopper816]

yeah, i can see your point! the shuttle bus drivers arent the best in the world. then some of the drivers on campus love to go into the turning lanes when they make left turns, so many people have almost hit the front of my car by not turning into their lane! Also when people leave the garage they turn out in front of you. its really a risky endeavor to go to class!!!

I feel like I've been complaining so much lately...must be finals...anyway, I noticed this chick today wearing these jeans with the a$$ completely faded out. Who designed this look cuz I think it is god awful!!! Also, the part of the jeans that the belt goes around, had large circles cut out...which would look cute except that they were very low-riders and I could see her red and white thong. As my sister would say, "put it away baby, put it away."

That's mine too......It just burns me up!

When people type LiKe tHiS. Ahhh! Or, on AIM, when people write things like, "dat's kewl." Sorry, I'm rather anal about these types of things...

When people try to sound and act cool, though they're obviously trying too hard.

When people refer to San Francisco as "Frisco." It's San Fran, The City (if you live in the Bay), or SF, for crying out loud!

That said, GO GIANTS!!

alright, i thought i had posted on this forever ago..but i guess not..i have a million pet peeves but at the top of the list are :

people take their kids out and a bout when its past MY bedtime

computer generated talking animals(ie: the movie dogs & cats)

when you are on the phone, and whoever is near you talks to you/wants to know every detail of your conversation/wants to know who you are talking to

bicycle riders who think that they are cars, ride in the middle of the road, but don't obey and traffic laws or signals..also just bicyclists that ride in the middle of the road, hello my car can go a lot faster then you and you are slowing me down, get the hell out of my way.

slow drivers, ,and people who drive about 10 miles BELOW the speed limit..cmon now, i'm not like speed racer or anyything, but is it so hard to drive 5 miles over the speed limit?

slow people in the fast lane.

guys who whistle/call out to you while you are walking.. what? do you expect me to swoon and go running to you and your skeevy friends in your car? ew.


people that dont dress for the weather

when people pronounce the word "italian" like "eye-talian"

also, i was watching on mtv the other night the most controversial videos ever and the VJ kept pronouncing controversial like "contro-vers-eal" and it made me want to throw my tv out the window b/c it made my skin crawl every time he said it

my aunt calls vienna sausages "vie' eena" sausages



a pet peeve of mine is when someone is upset with me but WON'T TELL ME WHY!!! OMG, How can I apologize, fix it or change if I don't know what I did???
A year and a half ago, my neighbor across the street started ignoring me out of the blue - seriously, she would turn her back to me when she saw me outside. And just a couple days ago, one of the girls from the chapter I advise started ignoring me, like purposely and blatantly staring at the wall across from me instead of even looking at me....I don't get it - What did I do??

[sailorchicDG]

Mine are:

Daily:
-When people I don't know talk to me

-When people in other cars stare at you when driving (I don't have tinted widows)

Work relatedi work in retail)

-When people throw money or credit card at you for payment

-When people place the method of payment ($ or credit card) on the items I'm about to bag for them

-When people put items they are about to puchase under their armpit to hold so they can use both hands to look for method of payment, then give it to me (like I want to touch it now!!)

Boyfriend related:
- when he leaves shavings in the sink

-toliet seat up

-towel draped over shower door when there is a hook to place it on

-all the lights in every room left on when no one is in them

-leaving glasses of water/ water bottles around the apt

Thats it for now, but I'm sure there will be more....

Ditto

People who bite their nails!!

When people don't stop at the white lines when they are at stop signs/stop lights...the line is there for a reason people!

When people who pull out in front of you when you are driving 55 miles per hour and drive 20 miles per hour under the speed limit.

When people put their blinker on two seconds before they turn. If they had waited another second they would have been ass-packed!!

When people bitch and moan but don't do anything to correct the problem.

When my brother-in-law steals alcohol from my liquor cabinet and trys to cover it up.

When people just can't let things go!!! GET OVER IT ALREADY!!

[Dionysus]

When people decide to have college ministry outside in HUMID weather, right after I got the frizzes out of my hair.

-when people drive the same speed as me in the next lane so that we are neck and neck

-when my coworkers put empty milk containers back in the fridge.

Well I haven't read this thread so I hope no one's posted this...i wouldn't expect anyone to, but....

I CANNOT STAND when people write a famous quote somewhere and attribute it to the person they heard it from, not the one that said it.
for example, my old friend used to have this signature at the bottom of her emails that said "Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow....." yep, it's the FOOTPRINTS poem adorned on like every single friendship/christian gift in the world. At the end, it says "- Kate Smith"
OMG your cousin did not come up with that!!!!! Like she's some sort of 21st century genius or something...

I cannot explain how much it pisses me off but it's just something that totally gets under my skin.

I HATE public toilet stalls that do not have enough room for you to close the door without brushing up against the toilet! Ewww. Just ewwww.
