Pet Peeves what are yours?

over packaging. Why do we need a box that will fit an elephant and filled with enough plastic and stuffing to protect something the size of a penny.

In case it's shipped UPS?

My main pet peeve is waiving at someone, who clearly saw you doing so, and they don't waive or say hello back. That is very disrespectful to me.

Saying hello to someone while looking and smiling at them, and they just stare back indefinitely. I forgive them though because they are obviously zombies.

Yeah that's probably what I need to do also. I have a few neighbors (relatively new ones) that never waive no matter how much you waive at them. Now I just give them the finger instead! ;-) I'm not proud but I just thought I would see if that got their attention instead. I should just let it go, but it pisses the hell out of me.

People that don't accept responsibility for their own actions.

tonyb

People who also don't look at you when your talking to them.

People who can't put the effin' cell phone down while your trying to talk to them.

VOT

Asking and answering own rhetorical questions. "Would I do that? ... No."

Drivers who think that parking lights are fog lights or drive with just parking lights on to look cool.

Came up with a new one... walking into the men's room and having to stand in a sea of urine because the last a$$hole to step up to the pisser couldn't hit the target. God gave us a tool so precise that I could write my name in the snow, and yet these asshats cannot hit a target mounted on the freekin' wall 6 inches away.
When you whip it out to take a leak, if more gets on the floor, have a seat like the lady you are.:evil:

It makes me wonder if there isn't a secret society of a-holes, who manage to stay well hidden, yet get on the rest our nerves.

My starting point is typically polite.....how it ends is up to them.

Now I've gotten to the point of saying Hello and if I don't hear anything, I'll loudly put out an "or not"....If I open the door for someone and don't get a Thank You, i'll still say "YOUR WELCOME".....some of these people think they're royalty....

Another peeve of mine is passive aggressiveness. People who have so much angst all bottled up inside and can't muster the words to actually say what they have to say.....it's so cute....

And another one... Companies that roll out a completely new operating system the affects every aspect of their business, without first ensuring that as many bugs as can be found are eliminated from the sytem before launch. add to this they give you 30 minutes worth of training on the new program and then **** when productivity tanks!:evil:

Pacific, specific, salary and celery, not the words, but the way some people us them. ie. The pacific ocean I like is the specific. I got a raise in my celery and now I can afford to eat salary. And ebonics, not just the fact that you can not under stand most of what is said, but the fact that it is considered a language. I might not be the best at English or spelling, but giving people who can barley speak proper a language of their own??????????

People who pull into a turning lane that is shared by both directions of traffic 10 driveways before where they want to turn.

That kid named not me that gets into every thing in our house and leaves it where ever he feels he wants to. This person is also know as I don't know.

People on the phone while at the check out in a store who are too busy to pay attention to the cashier. Luckily our local convenience store has a sign at the register that reads "If you are on the phone we will help the customer behind you so you can finish your conversation.

Child protective services in michigan. You are not allowed to have child proof locks on your cupboard to keep your kids out of the food stuff. I have a kid that is a hoarder and will take anything he can find and hide it in his room. The only time we tell him he can't have something is he is asking for candy all day long. He has woke up before us and got the sugar out and was eating straight out of the bag. If your child is running toward the street if you grab them so they don't get hit by a car and leave a red mark they will take your kid away. The farther north you go the worse it gets..so I hear anyways.

Mr. Sharpe

People that drive 40 in a 65 in the left lane for 50 miles then turn left.

when people are in the lane to speed up to the speed of traffice and don't use their turn signals to come out but do use them to turn off the road... after they get into the turn lane.

People that have cars that are loud and noisy and they're just puttering along then I outrun them in my 2.5SL. especially when it's a HUGE pick up truck lol that's actually just hilarious , probably off topic too but yeah, still funny.

I know I'm gonna catch flack for this one. When I get pulled over for my 70 watt car stereo and the Harley That just passed me drowning out my stereo doing at least 20 over is totally ignored. How is it that people can drive HDs that are so loud you can't hear your car stereo with the windows rolled up and not get a citation for noise pollution. I just don't get it. Stock Harleys are loud enough, but then most people change the exhaust to make them louder. Can't wait until next summer. There is a bar down the street and they like to fly up and down the street wide open from time to time. I plan on dropping about $100-150 in my RC truck and racing for pinks against them. Electric RC's have gotten stupid fast.

I live in northern Michigan, I have never known anyone that had to deal with child protective services, or ever had them in their home. Although I read about it happening to drug dealers and other criminals with children, which seems like it's probably a good thing. What did you do to get them involved in your life?

LOL...

Add to that those that leave the seat down... even the best marksmen are going to leave their mark during "the shake down".

The latest Target commercials with the neurotic blonde, I was hoping that once BF was over that would be the last I seen of her but nope, now she is doing Christmas ones.
