Pet Peeves

[BunnyTravolta]

I cannot stand being on the phone at work and being forced to listen to some crappy, static-y pop/rap/R&B minute and a half song snippet while waiting to leave some mouth-breathng oxygen-thief a message on their cell phone. This is almost as bad as the religious zealots who leave an entire ranting, rambling, stream-of-conciousness hellfire-and-brimstone sermon on their voice-mail/answering machine.

And there is NO WAY to skip past either!!!! :mad:

I love The Lord, just not in that way.

Jesus Saves!!....................everbody else takes 12 points of damage.

Jesus Saves, Selanne Scores!

Hear Hear!!!!
I detest calling teachers and having to listen to that!
If you want to sound professional turn the damn thing off!!

Heaven forbid a parent tried to call you.

[blueerica]

Teachers do that? Yikes, that falls under Unprofessional 101!

Let's just say, yes, they do. Especially middle school teachers. Maybe they think it ups their cool level.

We wont start me on listing the many things that my teachers do that bug me. Suffice it to say that there is more.

Your teachers must know mine - I've got a list of annoyances a mile long.

I can't stand people who don't use their blinkers. How the hell do I know that you need into my lane unless you tell me?

[blueerica]

Conversely, I hate it when I use my blinkers, notifying the guy in the next lane that I want to move over and that he should speed up as to block me.

Despite this, I continue using my blinker.

I'm with you on that one! (And it's the reason I sometimes don't use my turn signals.)

You know what I hate, too? When someone had a long, long time to get out of on ramp lane and waits until the very last minute to merge left. You think they're exiting but oh no here they come. It usually ends up cutting me off and it pisses me off to no end. Foresight, dinglecheeses!

I also hate it when someone does something sh!tty, like exiting a carpool lane over the double yellow line and then expects you to be alright with them cutting you off.

I also detest people who tailgate me. Especially if they are in a BMW or a Mercedes. The closer you get, the more brake I use.

[wendybeth]

A lady in a Mercedes was tailgating me last year and got busted by the cops. I laughed all the way to work.

Answering machine greetings by children who are too young to be understood by anyone but their parents.
People driving while concentrating on things other than their driving (makeup, cell phone, movies, newspaper, painting her toenails). Worse than the drunks, I say- at least the drunks are trying to pay attention. And I think there are more inattentive drivers than drunk ones.

If a guy in a red Ford Fusion ever does any of those things on the 22 fwy, I apoligize in advance. :D

The blinker thing has always bugged me. People rarely use them anymore.

And the double line crossing idiots on the 91 express lanes! OMG. Especially the one that pulled in front of the car in front of my family. The lady slammed on her brakes to avoid hitting him and they (my family) hit her. The guy that caused the accident by illegally crossing the lines just kept on driving. F-er.

Another pet peeve is when everyone at work has a computer problem... they call me - I tell them to reboot - they say - I knew you would say that. Hello? Then why not reboot first and then call me if that doesn't work.

Also - I am not in charge of supplies just because my office is next to the supply cabinet. I don't order them. I dont' know what's in there. I'm not the person to ask if someone else already took something. Not me. It's just a cabinet by office. nothing more.

No kidding!

I also hate the guy in the lane next to me, I'm signalling to get in his lane, he finally passes me, I move over and then he gets in my lane (usually with nobody behind me in the lane either) WTF is up with that?

[Kevy Baby]

Ya know what I hate? People who get in my way. If I want to change lanes, there shouldn't be anybody there! If I want to go faster, there shouldn't be anybody in front of me.

When everybody learns this, the world will be a much better place to live!

[Gemini Cricket]

You're in a long line, let's say at Gibson Girl at Disneyland. The menu is in plain view the whole time for everyone in line. A couple gets to the front. The CM greets them and asks them what they're going to order. The couple stands there with a blank look.

Woman: Sorry, we don't know what we want to order yet. What are you going to get, Hephaistion?

Man: I don't know, Sparkle, what are you going to get.

Woman: I don't know.

:rolleyes: <--------Everyone else waiting in line and the CM secretly.

[katiesue]

I'm with you GC - that makes me bonkers. Um hello you've had 20 minutes to figure it out.

[Mousey Girl]

My peeves cause by pets are when they nibble on me to get my attention. Why do you need to gnaw on my elbow, just come up and get in my face like everyone else!!

"your repeated honking will send a clear message to other drivers"

uh huh....something along the lines of

"Im an impatient self important a$$....someone please shoot out one of my tires"

(wow, I think Ive lived in SoCal too long)
:p

I love The Onion....

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I love The Onion....If you have TiVo, you can subscribe to the Onion's vidcast, and it'll go straight to your TV. That's how I saw this one. :)

All time Pet Peeve, the guests at DL or DCA who use their strollers as battering rams, line seperators and or forget that other people are around them... arrggghhhh....

[mistyisjafo]

My pet peeve is dating related. I hate it when, on a first date, a guy doesn't dress nicely, can't hold a conversation, and STILL thinks you want to go home with him after a crappy first meeting! Talk about no clue.
