Weird Pet Peeves - Page 3

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

)

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

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.

-One of my students says: "Oh, that's mines." No my dear, that is MINE! I've corrected her before and it drives me up the wall.

- People who use verbal filler...especially when my 14 year old sister says the word "like" like 15 times in like one sentence. I think she is single-handedly trying to revive "valley" speak.

-People who ask really really dumb questions, for example(when I used to work for Ben and Jerry's) What's in the vanilla/strawberry/any other self explanatory flavor? I know Ben and Jerry's has some odd flavors, but for goodness sake, VANILLA? Come on!

-People who say "hey" before they talk to you. For example they call on the phone and say hello, then say "Hey, I have a question for you..."

-The word excape...it's not EXCAPE, it's escape...

-When people think they are invisible when they drive, for example the guy in the car next to you has his finger so far up his nose he's past the second knuckle.

-self-flushing toilets...they just creep me out.

That reminds me. I find it annoying when people try to stifle it for 5 minutes or pass it off a cough. Just let it go quietly and excuse yourself. Life goes on.

This is kind of weird since it only happens at home but when were having a meal that were not sitting down at the dinner table for I’ll wait for everyone else to serve themselves before I prepare my plate. I just can’t stand having someone in the kitchen when I’m trying to put everything together. My mom is real bad about this and decides to clean the kitchen at the exact same time when I come down to make a sandwich everyday.

I know!!! I mean half the time these people can't even see....which reminds me of a HUGE pet peeve of mine:

people that are in the left hand lane going 10 miles plus below the speed limit. For gods sake if you want to srive at a snails pace (which still pisses me off) DO NOT do it in the left hand lane! I mean how hard is it? ARGGGHHHH

People who mispronounce words, one of my all-time-drive-me-up-the-wall types:

Its FreeMASONRY, not FreeMASONARY! Likewise, you have MASONRY and not MASONARY walls.

And yes, some of my Masonic lodge brothers are very guilty of the above mispronounciation, even though they've been in the fraternity long enough to know better!
