Title: Pet Peeves.....
Post by: Beth on March 20, 2006, 01:46:14 PM
We all have 'em, and sometimes we like to b**ch about 'em.  I'm just curious to see what yours are!

A pet peeve of mine (besides people sticking their noses where they don't belong) is people with bad phone manners!  I have called people before, "Is Susie there?"  Only to have another person on the other end simply say, "No."  Nothing else....no "May I take a message?" or "She'll be back in a while, can I have her call you?"

So what are some of your pet peeves?

Do a little dachsies who take all of her toys out to the yard every single day count as a pet peeve?  Every single day Buelah lugs the entire contents of her toybox outside into the yard in a lovely pile.  Every day I go and bring them in.  UUUGGGHHHHH......

People who don't use their turn signals, or forget to turn them off....

I hate it when people type a really long post or email all in one single paragraph.  It drives me bonkers!  - So hard to read.

I agree with Mindy and the turn signals...or lack thereof.  Also, SO frusterating when you are going through a toll booth and the jerk in front of you waits until they are at the booth before digging for their change....AGHHHHHH !

Being that I am presently working for a service orientated company, it drives me crazy when people call and want repair service ahead of everyone else for no good reason except for the fact that they just can't live without their TV until their turn in line comes up.  You would be AMAZED how addicted to tv some people are.  Like I'm not addicted to the computer.....not one little bit. :idiot: :grin:

Sorry Krista!  I'm bad for that.  I tend to think faster than I type at times and forget to put in the breaks!

I honestly hate it when people are willfully disrespectful to others.  Like when someone pulls out in front of you, nearly taking your front end off and doesn't eve pause to look before immediately turning onto another side street.  All because they couldn't wait 2 seconds for your car to get past them...  So I guess it's more the "I'm more important than anything you could ever think of so get out of my way so I can get my business done!" attitude.  (How's that for some run-on sentences/paragraph? lol)

Right now, it's the second graders who don't do their homework!  (And I'm a teensy bit peeved with the parents, who know their kiddo has homework, but fall for the "I did it in study hall" routine.  We don't have study hall for homework!  :doah:)
