What are your pet peeves in general

[theantiquetiger]

Here is the top peeve:

Garage sale or flea market seller, "I can't sell it for $3, I can get $50 for it on Bay!!!"

[thunderbolt]

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

Yeah, cellphones kill me, we are at Disney at least every other weekend, and its lousy with idiots on the phones narrating their lives to whoever the other idiot on the other end is. "....right now we're in line for the Haunted Mansion...then we are going to Its a Small World..." Man, shut up and enjoy the day. I see them at work all the time, too. In a nice peaceful public garden "...you should see it here..." Shut up and listen to the birds and the bell tower. Idiots.

When I'm in a movie and someone puts their feet on the top of my seat as if I want whatever is on their shoes in my hair.

When my wife calls me Bobby in front of co-workers who only know me as Robert. I find Bobby very unprofessional as a name. Bobby is for my family, Robert or Rob is for work or other public situations.

TV commercials that cut off before they're finished. I know I don't want their crappy product anyways, but don't make me watch almost all of your lame commercial if you're not going to show it all.

Seeing the same commercial twice and sometimes three times in a row. THE SAME COMMERCIAL.

Seeing commercials for an event that is already over. One time I actually saw a commercial for Halloween costumes on November 5th.

Employers that assume because you're standing around that you're slacking off. It's called efficiency, people. Their response? He's got free time! Pile on more work!

Co-Workers that are late EVERY SINGLE DAY. I had this job where you couldn't leave until your relief showed up, which is not uncommon. My relief was at least 15 minutes late every single day making me get out 25 to 30 minutes late every day. I got paid but the money meant nothing to me at that point. After working all night, I want to go home. Leaving on time is worth the 4 dollars they paid me to stay 30 minutes over. And to top it off, I was one minute late one night and I got written up for it. Were they written up? No. They were the boss' favorite. I'm not even kidding about the favorite thing either.

Co-workers that continually complain to you about someone you have no problems with at work.

When a friend of mine gets mad because I want to spend time with my wife.

When a friend of mine tells his mother something very personal that I've told him and comes back with the excuse, "If you tell me not to tell anyone, my mom doesn't count. I tell my mom everything." And just to let you know, I don't tell him anything anymore.

When I can't find the droids I'm looking for.

^^^ Lighten up, Bobby.

[Brue]

People that think they need to pass me in their car while I'm on my bike when they are 50 meters from a red light.

[thunderbolt]

people that list stuff in Marketplace here and can't put a price on it or post a pic.

[jwyblejr]

What's my pet peeve? It's a cute little peeve that has spots on it.

[vulcan2074]

People that don't pick up after themself. I work with a bunch of people who make messes and then just walk away. That erks me

Ohh yeah here is another good one to add to the list.

Someone writing a check at a store. They stand in line until they get up to the cash register not bothering to get a jump start on filling out ANY of the info on the check like the date etc. to whom the check is going to...etc... Everything is like a surprise to them when the get ready to pay. Who do I make the check out to? What is today's date? (Some times I feel like saying "Hell - make it out to me...(put in my name) I will cash it providing that it is actually any good to begin with)". Besides who even writes check at a store any more? I thought those days were long gone. ????

OR another example....someone paying for a pack of gum on a debit or credit card. Geez Louise...are you kidding me? One does not even have a couple of dollars cash in their wallet to pay for something that small?

One of my TOP 5 pet peeves has to be standing in long lines waiting to pay for something and the reason the line is backed up is because you have somebody taking 5 minutes to fill out there check.There is only one UNKNOWN thing, the amount.Its legal to go ahead and fill out the other stuff before hand.Another one is the guy that spends 100 dollars buying lottery tickets,again backing up the already long line cause somebody didn't have their check filled out before hand.

Here's some more,people that dont understand the concept of dimming their bright lights when another vehicle is approaching.People that HAVE to drive 5 or 10 miles an hour under the speed limit.People that wait until they are turning and then turn on their turn signal.

Cigarette Smokers Throwing The Still Burning Butt On The Ground To Not Only Leave Litter But Pollute My Air Even After It Has Finished Giving The Smoker Some Twisted Pleasure

[Mikey]

I just thought of another one.

Spitting in public

So many younger people do that today

It's like they have no manners or shame whatsoever

[Nostalgiabuff]

smokers in general.... enough already...it will kill you eventually and it slowly kills the rest of us....and find a garbage can for those nasty butts already.

[Nostalgiabuff]

kids with pants hanging around their hips. they can barely walk for crying out loud. I just wanna run up and give them a rip down
