What are your pet peeves? - Page 2

katiesue · 08-10-2006, 12:18 PM

The phrase "good stuff".

The calling no message thing. Someone does this all the time, call the cell, call the house phone, call the cell, call the house phone. Hello I have caller ID I know it's you and I can't talk right now so leave a flipin message. And if it's not an EMERGENCY (defined as needing trained medical personnel) leave a message and I'll call you back for gods sakes.

Cashiers who act like you're bothering them because you want to pay for your items.

People who drive slow in the fast lane. If there are more than two cars stacked up behind you and the lane to your right is passing you, get the hell out of the fast lane.

The number of persons who have viewed my classmates profile yet I've never heard from a single one. Who are these people? Why do you they want to know what I'm doing? Why do I care?

People who email you right after they have left you a voice mail.
Not even ten minutes have passed. Usually the email comes in as you listen to the VM.

Oops....I do that when something is of relative high importance. I always apologize for dogin it, explaining to them that the same message was left on their voice mail. But that's good stuff, Ponine.

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!

Or the idiot who sends you an e-mail. Then immediately calls to see if you got it. All over unimportant matters. And of course if you don't answer your office phone line the cell will immediately ring.

Stores that want personal information every time you purchase something. I'll occasionally give 'em my zip code if they ask for it, but the Container Store has started asking for my home telephone number every time I buy a 40 cent shampoo bottle. Ef that.

Not Afraid · 08-10-2006, 12:42 PM

Yeah. That really irritates me. Not only are they asking for me to reveal my address to them, but they want me to say it outloud. Maybe I should also give them my CC# and my pin as well.

I just say, "sorry, that's private" if they ask for more than my zip.
