What are your pet peeves in general

[Nemozoe]

Surprisingly one of my pet peeves is thoughts like this:

2. fat people that drink a diet coke with a Whopper.

Don't mean to put down your pet peeve, just a few comments on this. What many don't consider is that regular Coke contains a LOT of sugar. Many appear to equate Diet Coke with losing weight instead of equating it to the more life threatening Diabetes. If they've ever seen someone go into a diabetic coma they would understand better. It's not fun.

My best friend from high school was a truck driver who was found dead in his truck because his blood sugar had spiked so high before he could get medical attention. He was only in his early 30s at the time. I also watched my spouse collapse to the floor from a high blood sugar level of over 800 into a diabetic coma (70 to 145 is considered normal). A person in a diabetic coma can be awake and respond but they are in a dreamlike state and have a type of amnesia. My spouse was in the hospital for four days and had no idea of who I was while I sat there for the four days. To this day my spouse has no recollection of ever being in the hospital or any of this even happening. Diet Coke & water are the only things we drink now.

But if they are drinking the diet coke with say a pound of Chocolate - that perhaps would be a little different.

I know exactly what you're saying.

People who Litter. Any age, any time, any place. No excuses.

Clean Cloths "Stored" on top of the washer and dryer. Not while your doing laundry, but after they are done.

Incessantly crying babies or spoiled children, especially at the movies or eating out, but pretty much anyplace.

When parents let their kids run rampant at restaurants. Not everyone thinks your kid misbehaving is cute.

People that make endless excuses about their dogs bad behavior, when it's simply their own fault for not following thru on training and discipline.

Half-assed home repair. It simply creates more work for someone else. Know you limits and stick to them. - Especially plumbing or electrical work.

People who Litter. Any age, any time, any place. No excuses.

Inconsiderate people who hold up the show for everyone else, because they think they are important. - in short big Egos.

People who cut in line, then pretend like it's ok, or they didn't notice they were doing it.

More than 10 items in the 10 item or less line.

Blatant breast feeding in public. - Use a freakin blanket already.

Ignorance - and the lack of mutual respect that accompanies it.

Great list of pet peeves going so far guys and gals. "Basically" I can say that I quite "honestly" and "literally" agree with most all of them so far. Kidding about that Mego Milk. Just trying to livin things up a bit here and there. Thank goodness Gorn Captain isn't allowed to shoot people by law or I would have already been a gonner. Not to say that he may not consider breaking the law at any given time.

Here is a couple more of mine that I just thought of....

Paying for any type of radio such as XM sattelite radio. People love to pay for things or so it would seem at least. I think people will actually buy and or pay for just about anything at this point in time. What ever happened to people sticking to their guns and sticking together on crap like that anyway?

People or more precisely EEEEEdiots that seem like they wait for you to get close by while driving down the road THEN at almost the last couple of minutes they decide to pull out in front of you. The worst part about it is they then stare at you waiting for you to give them the finger like their stupidity is your fault. Even worse they are in such a darn hurry to pull out and their piece of crap car does not have enough horse power to pick up speed to get the H-E double hockey sticks out of your way.

hmmm...
1. threads like this(kidding..come on..you were all thinking the same thing)

Hey Matt, I accidentally sent you the wrong Spider Man. Go ahead and send him back. I have a nice loose one here with a broken leg with your name on it. Bahahaha LOL!!! kidding of course.

Running out of string on my weed-eater with 20 feet left to edge.

People putting flyers on my door/windshield. I do not litter, but when I leave a store and find a flyer on my windshield, guess where it goes, right there on the ground.

A child over the age of two with a bottle or pacifier in their mouth. I can forgive up to 3 years old, but when I see a 5 year old at the store walking around with a pacifier, it bugs me. I understand some special needs child doing it, but I know Baton Rouge does not have the highest per capital special needs children, because I see kids with pacifiers/bottles all the time.

[Nostalgiabuff]

any kind of prejudice or intolerance. that really bugs me.

people walking through the store who just stop in the middle of the aisle while they try to decide what the hell they were doing there in the first place...step aside already!!!

drivers who are making a left turn but are as far over to the right as they can be so noone can go around them

[Mikey]

People who are constantly talking on their cell phone whether they're driving, shopping in the store, at a funeral or having sex.

What is soooo important that they must be on the phone at every minute of the day ?

Also, those head-set cell phones.

Yea, encourage these buttholes even more by making head-sets phones

You are doing something wrong if Ms Kirk is on the phone while you two are making the "Beast with Two Backs"!!!

CRAP!! Mike, you took the words right out of my mouth. I was just getting ready to add that one to my list as well. I sometimes wonder what did people ever do before the stupid cell phone was invented?? Cell phones are like a credit card they are both great for an emergency use IMO. I just could not see using one all the damn time though. I see people going down the store aisle giving whomever it is a friggin play by play of what is at the store. It doesn't appear that people today can actually even operate a vehicle without first firing up their cell phone and driving down the road. Un friggin real!

Text messaging. How useful a tool is this really? Whatever happened to people engaging one another and talking to them face to face. Instead some sit next to one another and text back and forth in the same room. How stupid is that???

Sex messaging: I just hate it when I do not get CC when there is a hot (legal) babe sending her sexy body pix. The only real useful thing that I can really see that is actually worth while of this tool.

[IRON37]

people not using turn signals

people who stop where everyone is walking to talk to somebody

people who bring kids under 7 to a pg-13 or rated R movie

people who talk on their phone in a movie

white people acting black

cops getting caught breaking the law, and not being punished

and yeah people that text message all day gets pretty annoying...lol

That cell phone thing just marvels the hell out of me.

On the rare occasion I go to a mall and walk through a crowd of hundreds of people, I can't help but be amazed at how weird everything has become. Watching people run over each other and grimace at the shear annoyance of some twit being in their way is truly amazing. Everyone is in contact with someone, but not connected to their surroundings, as if the real world was "out there" and the here and now is some kind of theoretical notion yet to be proven.

Here's another one that has been getting on my nerves lately because it's happening all the time now.

People who throw all the trash from their cars into the shopping carts at Walmart & Target. You go to get a cart out of the "return cart area" in the parking lot and you have to dig your way into several carts to get a clean one. When did people become such inconsiderate pigs? (Yes, that is a rhetorical question.)
