What are your pet peeves?

**Val** · 03-03-2008, 08:52 PM

There are millions in the world, but what's your favourite?

- Chewing with mouth open a loudness at night?
- Standing in the way of folks wishing to use an escalator, moving sidewalk or doorway?
- Business driveways that make cars bottom out. Speed bumps.
- Explanations beginning with the word 'Again'?
- When anyone thinks their "don't remember" might trump my "do remember"?
- When anyone thinks my "don't remember" is an affront to their "do remember" ?
- You must kiss your filthy, grimy, dirty best friend everyday?

What's yours?

Last night I stopped at a drug store to pick up an OTC medical item. I had the misfortune of having to wait in line at the checkout behind a lady who was arguing with the clerk about a buy one, get one free deal on orange juice. First of all, if you are in such a rush that you stop at a drug store to buy orange juice rather than go to a super market, why do you waste time arguing over the price? Secondly, the lady was well dressed and didn't look like she could not afford the full price of the orange juice. Obviously she had no sense of the value of her time or anyone elses.

Inconsiderate twits, that is my pet peeve.

Its always the rich that are the most annoying. I once had a lady from the uber Rich town of Mendam come to my store in a full length mink to return 85 pointsttas 12/26.
She said they didnt look good.
Hey Fix have your wife explain B O G O to you. It will save your fingers.

**MSFixR** · 03-04-2008, 01:58 PM

Wouldn't that be B O G O F?

**Plastic Flute** · 03-04-2008, 02:04 PM

the F is assumed

Hey Fix why do you internal organs as your signature. Its making me nauseous

**MSFixR** · 03-04-2008, 02:11 PM

I hate it when people read a number, say 16645 as "sixteen, sixty-four, five" when i'm trying to enter that information into my computer. it completely throws me off and I end up having to go back and re-enter the number several times.

Whenever I go to the bank usually to do something very simple like deposit or withdraw money there always one person who wants to open a loan or learn how the FDIC works in front of me.

I hate when people re-press elevator or crosswalk buttons if they SEE you press it before them or if the goddamn thing is still lit up from when you pressed it. It doesn't make it go any faster. Also people who use the handicap buttons for doors for no reason ( not carrying any packages) and wait as the door slowly opens, instead of just.. uh.. pushing and walking through.

I hate when people don't cross a road because the signal isn't green even when it's obvious that there are no cars anywhere near. People who dont pass people in the PASSING LANE. Do you know what the left lane is for? It's not a contest to see how closely you can match the speed of the car in the right lane

Xenon lights. Oh great you have constant purple high-beams. Congratulations, you have destroyed my retinas!

**Plastic Flute** · 03-04-2008, 09:18 PM

We have so much in common.

I tried to come up with some peeves but everything that annoys me is far worse than a peeve.

Man ...
this is really disgusting! I agree!!!!
How can a person do exactly the same thing done by you or another person some seconds ago? Even me, a retarded, wouldn't do that.

HEY BEEF!!!
Xenon lights are very cool!

Since you direct them to the floor! The case is that some (kid) drivers point them to the eyes.

**Ophelia** · 03-09-2008, 12:10 PM

I hate when parents use the word "playdate"

The price of gas.

Forwarded political emails and "jokes"

Moody people that think the world revolves around them and their little mood swings.

Commercials.

I know there's more...

Indecisive people at fast food. It is fast food for a reason, it is not take 15 minutes to look at the drive thru menu board.

People who do not know how to keep a work area clean, especially from my time spent in foodservice. When it takes a high pressure hose to remove ketchup from a shelf, you know it is dirty.

iPods. They are everywhere and it bugs me most when people wear them as a fashion statement.

But what if the menu has changed since last time? It's important to check these things so as not to miss a delicious feeding opportunity.
