Pet Peeves - Page 4

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.

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.

Lindz928 · #56 10-05-2005, 03:39 PM

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!!!

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.

* Those know it all's in classes who suck up to profs and give 10 minute long answers to simple questions.

*Gothic people. Seriously. Stop trying to make a statement. You look horrible.

*Those girls who wear low cut jeans 3 sizes too small with their guts hanging out.

*Profs who take 2 weeks or more to hand back exams.

*Those fashion clueless girls who wear those straight-legged pants that women my mom's age don't even wear, and cartoon/punk band/weird saying shirts. You know who they are. They often wear their hair in pigtails and sport a Hello Kitty purse and cloth Keds.

*People who return your phonecalls @ midnight, when you called at 3 in the afternoon.

LightBulb · #60 10-05-2005, 09:55 PM

* 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!

(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....
