Pet peeves...things that really bug you

[ADPiSAI]

people who put EVERY little detail of their life in their MSN name or their AIM away message. including some snotty comment directed at whoever they're mad at. I'm sorry, grow up and find a better way to handle things!

I wonder did a lot of people fell asleep in the part of driver’s ed where one is told to travel one car length per 10 miles behind the car in front of you. In other words, if you’re going 60 miles per hour, you are supposed to be 6 car lengths away from the car in front of you, not one. I think people fail to realize that if you tailgate a car and if they suddenly stop you are KISSING that car’s backseat! These types of drivers never want to use their brakes either. If the car slows up ahead of them, instead applying their brakes, they actually speed up to switch lanes missing the ahead car by a foot or less. Riding in cars with these types of drivers scare me crapless.

Two new things:

1) KNOW IT ALLS: Lordie, lady, is there something you DON'T KNOW ABOUT??? Mention mushrooms: "Oh yes, I grow portabellas in my backyard!" Mention conspiracy theories of 1923: "Oh yes, in the town of Podunk, AR, it was the theory that Prohibition was the manifestation of the combination of two monkeys conspiring to send Earth into a tailspin..." SHUT UP!

2) Sorry, Dionysus, but I only agree with you when there is NO traffic. In bumper-to-bumper traffic, you do NOT have the right to leave that many car lengths b/w yourself and the car in front of you....That huge gap of distance in front of your car is taking up my time! MOVE THE F!#K UP! GEEZUS!

I hate it when people are moaning non stop when they are working out in a crowded gym.
Hey dude, a gym is not a right place to produce any stupid sound!

1.) People who use bad grammar (and I don't mean on the internet). For example, "conversate" is NOT a word!!!

2.) Service people who are rude to you for no reason (known to you, that is) other than they hate their job. Don't get angry at me--it's not my fault.

3.) People who have "Diarrhea of the Mouth"--telling MY business (whether or not I even confided in you) to other folks. Get a life!!! Also, people who gossip about others behind their backs, but lie about it when you confront them...

4.) People who "smack" and make funny noises when they eat. The sounds gross me out.

5.) People who only talk to you when they need something from you. Also, people that ask you for something after they have just pissed you off. I'm not related to you, and we are not that cool, okaaay...

6.) People who have double-standards. For instance, if you complain that I am always late, and tell me to be on time, then you show up late, and expect me not to call you out...

7.) People that place other people in "boxes" and expect them to conform to the "norm". Like, just b/c I'm African-American does not mean that I shouldn't listen to alternative or rock music.

8.) People who talk extra-loud in public spaces. I DO NOT need, nor desire to, hear your entire conversation.

9.) Stupid people. They REALLLLY, REALLLY, shouldn't be allowed to procreate...

10.) People that validate/ conform to stereotypes.

11.) People that think they are "entitled" to help from others and in life in general. Nobody owes you a dayum thang--not even your momma!!! LOL!

12.) People that complain about EVERYTHING...I mean dayum, at least be happy you're alive...

***I'm sure I can come up with more later. ***

okay this might sound lame on the first one but...
People cutting their nails (and even bitting their nails)
Or people that come in my line at the store and are on their phone while you ring them up and pay no attention and get an attitude when you try to speak to them.
Thats just two of them.

people who bitch about their pet peeves, i guess this makes me a hippocrit

You mean cutting nails in front of you?
I once had a roommate who actually shaved her legs while in the same room as me. Ugggggh. She had lots of hair too and I could hear every single cut the blade me.

Another one to add to my list:
There's this one post office near my work which offers one of those drive through mailboxes. So when I'm in a rush I like to use one of those but I hate it when people have no consideration whatsoever! The parking lot is really small and if there are cars in front of me, they hold up the entire line of cars wanting to go in by just waiting there until an open space pops up. This one time a car in front of me actually had the nerve to park her car smack in front of the drive thru mailboxes and I was stuck there. Bleh.

I hate it when people pick their teeth and flick whatever comes out. *gags*

[IluvSirFidel]

I really get annoyed when people, after asking how long my boyfriend and I have been dating, ask "Do you think that ya'll will get married?" No. I've been dating him for three years, but there is no possible way that I could ever be committed to him. (Edit: This is sarcasm.....)

The other things that really bother me are really silly.

I hate drawers that don't close all of the way because they are too full. I also can't stand teeny little pieces of clothing hanging out of said drawers. I will walk in a room and immediately tuck in these little snippets in order to shut the drawer.

I also hate "ring around the toilet" For goodness sakes, people, a toilet brush and bottle of Comet are not that expensive. Please use them at least twice a month!!! (My boyfriend is so guilty of this!!!)

When you're waiting in line somewhere and the person next to you stands thisclose to you. I'm really big on personal space and I can't deal when people I don't know stand really close to me. I'll move up a bit to get away from the person but either:
a) I'll be right up against the person in front of me
b) The person will just move up with me.

ARGH!

ugh - this happened to me really bad last summer. i was at lowes picking up an air conditioner i had bought online, and was waiting at customer service for someone to bring it to me when this guy behind me is literally standing like 6 inches away..so i moved up..he moved up, etc. finally i'm like pressing myself up against the counter and he comes and STANDS NEXT TO ME. luckily they brought my a/c because i was seriously about to yell at him to back the f*ck up..

When people come over to my house and start looking through my personal files on my computer.

Checking YOUR e-mail does not consist of looking through MY DOCUMENTS!!

[The1calledTKE]

People that don't know how to drive or are afraid when they drive. Just stay in the slow lane and I am happy.

People who think they are privilaged at work. Example; coming in later than others for the second shift being late for that and deciding to take lunch before everyone else. Then taking way more time than allowed for lunch. Your azz is going to get fired real soon and you don't even know it. lol

fingernail biting. it just gets to me. i dont know why, its not like they are biting my nails or anything.
