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!!

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

-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!!)

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!!

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

-when people pull out in front of me and go slow so i have to slam on the breaks

-tailgating!!

-when people think that just because i drive a sports car, they think that i want to race them

- when you try to past someone and they wont let you cause they are stupid

-when people run the stop sign at an intersection
-people who dont use turn signals

at work( remember...at starbucks)

-when i have to finish working on something and then as i am turning around to acknowledge the customer, they have already told me half their order. can you wait until i get to the register?

-when people leave their trash on the table when we have three trash cans in the building. some lazy arrogant people

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

-when the night crew doesnt take the trash out so the morning people have to take two trips to the dumpster first thing in the morning (6:00 a.m.)

in general:

-people that expect me to fall at their feet cause they are so damn vain

-people who slurp their soda ...eww!!!

[XOMichelle]

At work:
-When people get mad if I can't do something. (The computer sytem is down... I'm not trying to screw you over!)

At home:
-when people who live in the house don't clean their messes and don't do their hash.

People:
-when my boyfriend lectures me (blah blah blah... )

-when I put a lot of time into planning something and someone comes around at the last minute and tries to change it, or complains about it (why are we camping for the sisterhood retreat? I don't like the outdoors! Grr..it's cheap, we have no money, so deal for one night!!!!)

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.

[knight_shadow]

^^^ haha, yea that is annoying.

I hate it when paper (napkins, toilet paper, etc) is wet. I almost had to kill my old roommate for throwing used paper towels in the sink.

I hate it even more when used napkins are put on plates after a meal. I don't know why I dislike it so much, but any time someone is out eating with me, I force them to leave their napkins on the table
