What are your pet peeves?

[scaeagles]

We've done idiosynchrasies....how about pet peeves? Two of mine -

When someone says "lookit".

Toast that is not buttered all the way to the crust.

How about you?

[Crystal]

Water dripped on the tile floor in the kitchen and not wiped dry...

The bed being messed up after I make it...

Closet doors left open...

That's all

[Ponine]

Oh wow.....Where do I start?

People who forget things. If we've discussed it five times, I truly expect you might at least remember us talking about it, even if you dont remember the end result.

Conversations with people who will forever turn everything you say into a conversation about sex. No faster way to piss me off.

A partner who wont talk to you once you enter the bedroom for "that" kind of entertainment. Please, I've had enough people treat me like meat, if you like me enough to talk to me OUT of the bedroom, it wont kill you to say something, anything, in the bedroom.

Dog poop. Clean up after your dog. Thats why I dont own one.

I dont need you to make the bed, but for heavens sake, put the sheets on.

If, for once, I actually state what I want, to eat, to buy, etc, dont talk me out of it You got a decision, do you realize how rare that is?

I have to at least name one food one... Or I'll be here all day.

My pet peeves are all cleaning issues and it would be mean to post them.

I've yet to live with a single man who was capable of hanging up a wet towel. Luckily, I'm over it...

You can move in with me. I not only hang it up, I spread it out to make sure there are no folds/pleats in it when it's hanging so it can dry quickly and evenly.


Some of my peeves include:

• Seeing the non-word "alot"
  (hint: it's "a lot", as in, the opposite of "a little")
• People who feel the need to CRRRRAAAANK the water knobs in my bathroom to the off position so hard it wears out a replaced washer in a few days.
• People who feel the need to read on-screen text out loud when it appears within a film.
• The inability of most motorists to lift their left pinkie and signal a fücking turn/lane change!
  Signaling a lane change at the same time as the actual change does not count as "signaling"! That's called confirming the obvious.
• When someone calls me for help and then argues with me when I suggest a course of action.
  If you don't want my advice, don't call me, dickweed!
• When some one answers my multiple-choice question with a binary response.
• Hard butter served with cold bread.
• While dining out, when my friend orders a "large" soda, I order a "large" milk, and my friend receives a bigger glass then I do.
  Charge me more of you need to, I want my gawddamn large milk so I don't have to wait for the waitron to bring me another!
• Women who wear revealing clothing and then get offended when men look at them like sex objects.
• Screaming children.
• People who (ab)use the term "pro-family" when what they really mean is "anti-gay".
  They're entitled to feel the way they feel, just be honest.

Sorry, that turned into a rant, didn't it....

Have the married men you've lived with hung up their towels?

Heh -- I knew that would be noticed! You eagle-eyed LoT-ers you!

- The word "alot"

- When someone calls, doesn't leave a message, and then calls back right away, sometimes more than once. Usually, I'm on a business call at the time and can't just switch over to take the other call. Just leave a message and I will return it, but stop calling and interrupting the call I'm on. I'm well aware that you want to get a hold of me.
