the old ladies in the EXPRESS lane at the store that have to count out their change to pay...   aaaargh

 

bad drivers... and especially those who don't use their signals.. really? is it THAT much effort to flip the thing so others know what you are doing?

 

People who don't control their children or pets in public or at someone else's house... we all have bad moments with the kids but consistently annoying and bad behavior is your fault - leave them home or get control.

 

having to ASK for a bag at the store.... really? How do you think I'm going to carry 8 items?

People who get in the left turn lane to turn at the street ahead and merge way before the line breaks, even though there's plenty of room. There's people at one intersection who will do this behind me when I haven't even reached that point yet and my blinker's on. I worry that one of these days someone's not going to mind me at all and rear end me as I try to get in the right way.

 

People who barely know how to drive themselves and think a "student driver" sticker means honk your horn every time you think the driver is doing something wrong. That's long since over for me now but my instructor had to tell me several times not to worry about those people.

 

People who talk at the library like they're walking through a busy mall. Mine has a study room down the hall but I still hear them all the way from the main area.

Speaking of transport -

Cyclists who are so busy feeling hard-done by by motorists that they forget that cycling along pathways and expecting pedestrians to dive out of their way is also a kinda arsehole thing to do. (Not that they're all like that)

Motorists who don't indicate at junctions, especially when they're the ones who are in big metal boxes and I'm the one who will get squished if I don't read their mind correctly and try to cross the wrong road.

People in the countryside who ride their horses on footpaths and don't clean up the massive piles of poop they leave behind.

 

People who get really angry about people who take pictures of their food and expect me to be too, I mean c'mon. It's not like they're endangering the planet. I can not mind it if I want.

 

Skincare adverts that look like soft porn. If I want soft porn I will go and find some soft porn, not turn on the TV and wait for the ad break. Hmph.

 

All those Christmas adverts reinforcing the expectation that it's the wife who should be in the kitchen slaving away trying to please everyone. I can get a bit pernickety in my feminism haha.

 

Filters slapped on images to make them look more 'artsy' that don't really add any value to the image make me irritated when it's done on professional sites or design magazines. If you've designed a bookshelf and want to show people what it looks like in someone's home surely it doesn't need an instagram-style hazy blue filter on it?

I don't mind it if people are putting it on their random facebook snaps because hey it's fun to add filters, but in other places it just looks silly to me.

Yeah, I never did like the Lectric Shave commercial with the guy running his face through his girlfriend's cleavage like it was a credit card reader. I'm not prudish at all but I thought "come on, it's 6 pm, nobody has to see this."

Tailgaters.

The closer they follow, the more I have to slow down, both for my safety and theirs. If they were in such a hurry, why didn't they leave the house earlier? Then they would be in front of me and wouldn't be having this problem. I'm responsible for their inefficiency now, by not going fast enough, even if I'm going the speed limit or more? 

 

I don't like them either, but if you've ever driven in the DC metro area, you pretty much are forced to tailgate for your own safety.  If you don't, cars will suddenly zip in front of you, which is even more dangerous than tailgating.  Driving the beltway is pretty much white-knuckling it. 

 

 

 

Yeah, traffic is pretty much the same in Houston.  But tailgaters still piss me off if it isn't the local traffic etiquette.  I'll hit the brakes in proportion to how aggressive the tailgater is.  I've made douchebags in their giant penis-compensation trucks lock up their brakes.

 

 

 

Tailgaters everywhere are a pain in the ass....I have considered trying to see if it would be feasible to start a business selling digital signs for your rear windshield where you could program in messages...like..."BACK OFF MY ASS"....or ..."PASS ME ALREADY"....or...."STOP TRYING TO GET FRESH, I'M  NOT YOUR TYPE"..tongue.png

 

I used to have a Kia Rio which was great because it had a rear window washer which you could turn around so it faced outwards. Whenever someone tailgated me I would just turn it on and squirt them right on their windshield. Awesome fun.

In addition to a lot of the ones already mentioned, especially the tailgaters and other rude drivers --

 

People who leave their dirty dishes in the sink.  The dishwasher, mere inches away from the sink, is the holding zone for dirty dishes.  So rinse your dishes and put them in the dishwasher, you lazy ass!    

 

I make a point of emptying the dishwasher as soon as possible after they're done and definitely before I go to bed.  So don't even think about using the "I didn't know if the dishes in the dishwasher were clean or dirty" excuse.   Oh, and the little green light that glows next to "CLEAN" - that's a dead giveaway too.   tongue.png

 

ARRRGH! I have to deal with this all the damn time. My wife's "system" is to load the sink with dishes until it can't hold any more, and there's no room for rinsing anything out. And then leave some on the counter. And, the entire time, the dishwasher has been sitting with the "clean" light on since the night before. Her "system" sucks, and it doesn't work for anyone. Does she ever change her behavior? No. Of course not. Partly because I enable her because I get so fed up with stuff falling out of the sink that I just take care of it all myself, so yeah, it's at least partly my own fault.

Another pet peve....Very elderly drivers who will drive 40 in a 55 or 50 in a 70 mph zone and stack traffic up for a mile back especially when there is no way to pass them.

It's irritating, but IMO it's forgivable if somebody is old. We'll all be that way one day - Lard willing.

 

But what I'll never understand is when people STOP at the end of an on-ramp. What part of "merge" do they not understand?? Are we licensing the mentally handicapped to drive?

 

LOL! my drivers-ed teacher had this pet peeve to the point that he would reach his big, fat, bare foot over and mash it on top of yours to make you press the pedal down further on the "acceleration" ramp.

 

Also I hate people that put their blinkers on in a parking lot to "claim" a parking space. Sometime I act interested in the spot just to piss them off.

 

On that note, I hate when people sit and wait in the front of the parking lot for an open spot just to be 10 ft from the door. You could have parked and walked by then.

 

Also, I hate when people follow you to your car to get your parking space so I have to rush to put my stuff up and get the kids clicked in. Go pester someone else.

 

I hate when people prop the cart on the curb as if that makes you any less lazy or more thoughtful. Yes, you stopped it from rolling but no one can park in that spot where you propped the cart.

 

I hate when people that pull into the gas station blasting their music and they get out to go in AND LEAVE THE CAR RUNNING WITH THE MUSIC BLASTING . If I was a thief I would get in and drive it away.

 

People in public places that listen to music on their phone with no headphones.

 

People that speed up when a car turns in front of them to make it an even closer call and teach the other car a lesson. They would feel awful if this act ended up killing somebody.

 

Why is there never a cop around when an idiot is driving 120 mph on the highway but they are all over the place when I have a taillight out?

 

I hate when people call dinner "supper"

 

And I hate WITH A PASSION that Subway only gives me one napkin with my sandwich.

1 ply toilet paper in the ladies washrooms.vent.gif  

 

3 ply toilet paper is like using  flannel rags......glare.gif

 

I like 2 ply......3.gif tongue.png  

 

And the toilet paper should always be hung with the last piece hanging against the wall............ woohoo.gif  

 

One of my pet peeves is toilet paper hung against the wall. I don't think we should ever share a bathroom.

On the toilet paper controversy ...

 

I definitely prefer it hanging against the wall, or as I call it, the underhand position. yellow.gif

 

For those who insist on overhand, why? If it's against the wall, you just have to use one hand to pull out as much as you want, then yank it off with your index finger (which you can't do overhand because that just pulls more of it out uncut.) Yeah, sometimes the end is lost behind the roll and you have to roll it down a bit, but why would you want to use both hands?

People who chew grossly and loudly....mad.gif It makes me want to punch them. I have to leave the room.

 

There's a name for this. Misophonia. Certain sounds make me want to turn myself inside out.

Wow! You've certainly put a lot more thought into analyzing your ass-wiping material than I ever did. Had to go test what you said. I think you're wrong -- the over-the-roll method is the one where you (or at least I) can use one hand. But, on the other hand, who really cares?

 

Now, banana threads -- those strings that sometime remain on a peeled banana -- they're really gross and get my vote for pet peeve!!

Ah, the ongoing toilet paper controversy... We had that one going on in my household until I discovered printed toilet paper.  The TP companies have spoken and we have been coerced into conformity.  Or does this call for rebellion? 

Isn't it obvious that  "overhand" / last sheet away from the wall is the way it's supposed to be, at least according to the TP manufacturers?  Otherwise, all those cutsie images and important, witty slogans on the toilet paper would be hidden when it's not being used and backassward when it's being unrolled.  W we would have chronically strained neck and back muscles every day of our lives.

Ooh, roadrunner, I hate "supper" too! Other words that annoy me are "cleave," "davenport," "potty," "positivity," and "cadence."

Bad grammar, textspeak, and incomprehensible writing is one of my huge peeves, too. I don't mean the occasional typo, I mean the babbling incoherence. If you want me to respect what you have to say (or even read it), take the time to write like a grown up.

 

Other peeves include people who freak out when a book looks "read," using "g*y" and "*f*g" as insults, most commercials for household products because they are sexist as hell, picky eaters, using quote marks to emphasize things, rednecks, and the aforementioned loud eaters.

Wait.. brakes was correct. Unless this is a case of funky American spelling.

 

I'm going to add American spelling to my pet peeves either way mad.gif

 

No wait.. was the post corrected after or not? Omg I'm so confused.

Confusing myself on the internet is another of my pet peeves mad.gif

People who eat with their mouths open

 

 

My wifes family is like that, ALL of them except her. I loathe family gatherings with them. It's like hearing a dozen pigs at a trough AND they use their fingers too

People who sit behind me on the bus when there are other seats free and they could have spread out a bit.

 

people who sit behind me on a bus and yawn without covering their mouths,or cough and i can feel the wind of their exhale on the back of my head!

 

 people chewing loudly or with mouth open.

 

non smokers coming out for a cigarette break.

 

junkies.

 

incompetent bar staff in a club.

 

Women who say,'your awfully quiet' or words to that effect esp when we have never even spoken or actually met me before and it is their devastatingly effective convo opener.

 

Fuckers who say stuff like ,'smile' as a convo opener esp when i am usually fairly content inside myself but don't wear a permanent grin. KILL KILL KILL!

 

pharmacists or doctors receptionists being complete bitches.

 

 fart clouds on the dance floor.

People that meet friends going through a door and stop IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DOORWAY to continue the conversation!

 

 

 

 

Totally! add to that the cunts, that similarly, get off an escalator in a dept store or wherever and stop to figure out which direction to go in and block the way!

I hate customers at work that are older men and try to set you up with one of your fellow co-workers. Especially when said co-worker is already creepy enough, unattractive, lazy, and whiny.  Then said man returns to "apologize" and says he was just trying to help because guys need help. Since my hair had changed colors recently (HIGHLIGHTS wtf?) and I had switched between glasses and contacts for awhile (because I felt like it) I was going through things and sometimes guys need help seeing through the "trash" to get to the "real stuff."  Okay, I would NEVER date the guy even if he was the LAST guy on Earth so STFU and GTFO.  

 

Damn, next time I see this guy, I am going to be one mean bitch if he brings it up again. You can only hold your tongue for so long. Why's he even sticking his nose in business where it doesn't belong?
