What is your biggest pet peeve?

[cowgurl6254]

I can't stand it when I'm working (flight attendant) and someone doesn't say thank you when I give them a beverage. It's not that hard to be polite, but the majority of people just snatch it from me without even looking up. It also bugs the crap out of me when someone changes lanes on the interstate without using their blinker. What's your biggest pet peeve?

 

[Kase]

I hate it when people don't say thankyou too, it bugs me. Like when you wait and hold the door for people and they just barge through and don't acknowlede you.

Right now - tourists

An lot of Europeans take 2...3.... even 4 weeks vacation in August, and it seems that most of them have come to "my" beach

Normally its pretty quiet, but now parking lots that would normally have a handful of cars in will have hundreds, and journeys along the coast that normally take 15 mins can take 90 mins +++

Can't complain really - they bring a lot of money to the local economy - but don't they know I have things to do

Driving - SUV drivers whose idea of changing lanes is to simple veer into a car. Buses do this too, but at least the driver isn't on a cell phone at the time.

Public Transportation - people who bring ungodly foods on, including fried chicken, seafood platters, hoagies, pizza, etc. I've been guilty of this in the past, but it still drives me crazy.

Movie theatres - a tie between people incessantly flipping their cells open to check the time (note: it's five seconds later than the last time you did it) and the people who bring fried anything into the theatre; french fries, onion rings, and cheese fries DO NOT belong in a movie theatre.

But my overall, general pet peeve is people who behave as if they were raised by autistic cats. I mean the guy who walks a snarling Rottie on a flexi-lead on a city sidewalk, or the woman who observes detachedly as her child slams itself into the legs of hapless passersby.

So many of them The worst is probably people driving... When they use a truck lane to pass everyone when there is a traffic jam for example, so people waiting have to wait longer because they have to merge in traffic ahead... or people who wait the last minute to change lanes just to avoid a slow lane... It drives me totally bonkers, it just shows a total lack of respect for other people...

Stupidity irritates me, but lack of respect is the worst.

I work at a restaraunt with a buffet room and one of my biggest pet peeves is when parents let their kids run around the room. We have a lot of unstable elderly trying to get food and us workers are running around trying to keep the buffet stocked. When I''m coming out the door with four bowls of salad in my arms I can''t see if a toddler is running past me. Also parents who think their self-sufficient-wanna-be 4 year old can get their meals themselves INCLUDING cutting a slice of bread on their own. They make a huge mess and cut themselves. Oy!

My second pet peeve is people who won;t take advice from others, or at least hear them with an open mind.

My third and this is a very big one to me, hypocrits and people who stereotype!

 

[Ashlea]

People who stop as soon as they get off an esculator and have a family conference right at the top/bottom while everyone behind them proceeds to crash into them from behind.

People who take noisey children into child unappropriate places such as nice resturants or bars. Nothing like a head splitting shriek while trying to have a romatic dinner!

 

[travis_doggies]

People littering, especially when there is a dustbin right in front of them, it makes my blood boil.

 

[whatszmatter]

waking up to find fresh dog crap in your yard from the night before and a big pile in the middle of the sidewalk that some lazy ass decided would be best to leave in your yard and on your sidewalk.

 

[Squidbert]

People littering, especially when there is a dustbin right in front of them, it makes my blood boil.

Agreed!

And gender stereotypes..

 

[Gig 'Em Ags]

Ditto here, discourtesy, and it's rapidly becoming the norm in society!!!

 

[MomOf7]

Peoples who children dont know how to behave in public.
Arguing.
And....DEE DEE DEE many people here in Wa do not know how to merge. They slow down and almost run you over or speed up at the last second to pass you and almost clip your front end or end up in the shoulder cause they waited too long to speed up. We usually dont let those people in...I know bad bad us.

My Biggest Pet Peeve is LIARS..

But I have a lot more that would be too many to post

 

[Snark]

People who throw trash and cigarette butts out their car windows, don't pay attention to the traffic around them because they're too busy talking on their cell phones, and drive 10 or 15 miles under the speed limit, only to race you when you try to pass them.
Then there are the folks who complain when their dog has been hit by a car (for the third time) and they have to spend money on the poor animal to have its injuries taken care of. If asked why they don't confine the dog, they say, 'Oh, well, Buster's always run free! He wouldn't be happy being chained or in a fenced yard!" I just want to strangle them, but that's frowned upon at work. Grrrrrrr...

I have lots of pet peeves.. many of them already mentioned. But one pet peeve that drives me INSANE is when you're watching a tv show or movie and someone keeps talking. Or when people eat noisy...grrrr... I HATE that so much. I don't wanna hear crunching, lip smacking, slurping...etc..

 

[travis_doggies]

Nagging, be it my wife or my kids or worse, my mother in law. Fortunately, my hearing is blessed with a switch, called Selective hearing

 

[cowgurl6254]

Wow, you guys came up with some good ones. I forgot to mention the one about people bringing babies into a movie theatre. I don't have kids yet, but when I do, I will get a baby sitter. We saw a movie last week but half the time a two month old baby was screaming. I mean, if you want to see a movie, get a babysitter or wait for it to come out on video.

 

[Buddy'sParents]

Ignorance.

Stereotypes.

Driving, period. Some people do not deserve to have a drivers license.

Immaturity. I'm all for fun and games, but please... act your age.

People.. rude people, disrespectful people (I work in retail, it's amazing how unkind poeple are these days).

Children...unattended and poorly behaved ones. Parents... no, I don't think it's funny when your 2 year old runs down the aisle I just picked up bringing down merchandise with them while screaming their heads off.

People who lie, cheat, steal... 'nuff said.

So many more, but who am I to "complain" really? No one's perfect...

 

[RetrieverLove]

When i'm at a cross walk and I have to wait 5 minutes just for people to stop

When people yawn loudly.

 

[MyIrishWolfie]

Men that forget to put the toilet seat up when they pee and I sit in it later... yuck

That goes for little boys too...
