Pet Peeves.....What's yours?

My biggest pet peeve is to people who stop and gossip at the grocery store AND block the aisle. I seem to hit them everytime I am in a hurry. Naturally, everyone runs into people they know but at least most people make sure the other shoppers can get down the aisle. Another is people who leave their pets in the car while they go in somewhere in the summer. They must not realize how hot it gets inside a car. I have called several people in but I do admit I watched for at least 10 minutes before I do.

Yesterday I tried to start a driver pet peeve discussion. It didn't get too many responses. However, I think your first pet peeve would have gone with that! My generalized pet peeve is always just people who have no respect for themselves or others. That generalized pet peeve covers all sorts of grounds. It always amazes me how much people don't take others into consideration... both of your pet peeves being a perfect example. Or if you're walking in a store and someone bumps into you and just keeps walking and can't even say 'excuse me' or 'sorry' for carelessly bumping into you. Sometimes I wonder what happened to common decency.

You know I'm really not sure. I've just received this and it says it's 3 days old... I don't get a lot of silly things people do and I probably would be able to come up with a long list. Luckily for you right now I can't think of any! ~Joey Take care- Daycarepal:)

My pet peeves are: People who do not tend to their children out in public...you know the ones...where the children are running around, chasing each other, touching everything, being loud, chewing with their mouths open, or coughing/sneezing on others... I agree with any form of littering as highly annoying to me...I am a devote nature lover and it ticks me off too...as well as, trash thrown out of a moving vehicle...when my children were younger and they attempted that...I was the mother who pulled over and got out with them and fought the traffic to retrieve it....it did not take but a couple of times and they figured it out...LMAO

Bad table manners drive me insane. Chewing with your mouth open is a biggie for me... If I wanted to hear you chew your food I would put my ear closer to you, you don't need to chomp on it and let me hear every little chew. Also talking with your mouth full... unless you are yelling "fire", there's not much that is so important that you can't wait to swallow your food to say.

Mine is gross... here in the Philippines you would see some writings on the wall or hanged notice reprimanding people especially guys (males) on peeing anywhere (esp. walls and trees). The sign say like this: "Peeing on this wall is prohibited!" Sometimes they add "only dogs are allowed to pee." The disgusting thing is that these guys still pee right in the wall or the writings on the wall.

I got a bunch of them..so many responses, someone might have mentioned mine already.. 1. people who insist on leaving a little under a sip of something like juice or milk in the fridge 2. people who are never the ones to wash the dishes but are the ones who like to fill the sink up 3. people who don't clean up when they mess up an area in the house and wait for the neater person to clean up..all to do it all over again 4. people who live where there are assigned parking spaces who insist on parking in the wrong spot then get upset when you tell them they should move their car 5. people who make a big fuss over something they bought...protecting it with their life..when you see whatever it is two weeks later, it looks like garbage..

I have to agree with the last post. Cell phones and the use of cell phones just about anywhere is one thing I can not stand. Cell phones have been great benefit for business people. But why does everyone have to have a cell phone. And why do they have to yap with there friends every where they go. If you want to talk with your friend go visit them. It really bothers me in restaurants and theaters. And why do people seem to talk louder when they use them. It is really not polite to set there in a restaurant talking on the top of your voice and carry on a conversation that everyone in the restaurant hears. And the use in the theater, not only do they annoy the other people with their talking but just the light of their phone is bothersome. And when people use them while they are driving they seem to put blinders on at the same time because they do not pay attention to the other vehicles. Cell phone have there benefits. I used one for years when I was working. Before I had a cell phone I had a pager and always had to search for a pay phone. Life became a lot easier when I had a mobile phone installed in my truck. But why do people need them to talk excessively to other people. Give it a rest and enjoy what you are doing.

I agree with you on both of these issues it is a pain espically if you are in a hurry to go through a drive thru. I always have everything out and ready before and the smoker's issue is right to. There have been a lot of fires here in Florida and this is proberly how some of them startes. i can't say a lot I use to be a smoker but I didn't through my ciggerete out the window. If a cop sees someone doing it here in Florida they get a ticket really fast.

One of my pet peeves is those people in the supermarket parking lots that park right in the middle of an aisle, and wait for a car to back out of a space, and the person in that space hasn't even put the groceries in the trunk yet!. No one can go around them, and heaven forbid if they have to move to the spot another five feet down the aisle! A second pet peeve of mine is my lovely neighbors that have umpteen cars and they think they have to park all of them in front of MY house. I don't have a driveway or a garage so hubby and I have to park at the curb. It's a constant fight to get our parking spots. Even the neighbor across the street has tried to park his car in front of my house because he has a black car and wants it in the shade! I have taken to moving all three of our garbage dumpsters to the curb so that no one can park there while we're gone. And boy does that tick them off! (Picture me with my cheshire cat's grin! Hehehe)

Squeaky doors...chronic complainers....people who are on cell phones when driving ..... tail gaters ..... people who have a need to criticize ..... computer problems caused by Microsoft products crashing..... blunt people ...... slackers...people who waste my or their time....... .......people who are late without good reason.... people who are unmotivated and don't make an effort to overcome obstacles in life.... I realized that what my pet peeves are speaks as to who I am. Sensitive to noise, try to think positive and exert my willpower and conscientiousnesss.... sensitive emotionally .... a computer addict ... and a hard worker who is punctual.

major pet peeves would be spitting on the ground/sidewalk/parking lot/ floor - etc lieing and hypocrisy flashing of fleshy parts that ought to be covered

one of my pet peeves are pedicab drivers who spit while driving, especially if i'm driving behind them.the spit flies in all directions and i have encountered times when i had to zig-zag just to avoid the 'spit-fire' haha!

My pet peeves are people being late and when people don't call you back when they say they will for important things. If it is for something important or business related, then you should call back. I know sometimes you will be late or forget to call, but if it's important it needs to be done.

Mine is open cabinets. If you get something out of the cabinet why can't you close it back. Leaving it open for someone to hit their head on. Tractors. Why do tractors have to drive down the main road going 2 miles per hr. Usually I get stuck behind them in the morning when I am in a hurry. Why cant they drive on the side of the road or on a road that is not so busy instead of backing up traffic.

Hey DCP, One of my pet peeves is I don't like my foods to touch each other on the plate-I won't eat any of it if they touch.I know that sounds crazy & everyone says it's all going to the same place but I just can't eat it. +'s 2 U :D

When I'm standing in line at a supermarket, bank etc, for people to invade my personal space, I hate it! Stealing my parking, I have put my indicator on to go into a certain parking space and then out of the blue someone will just very politely slip in before me! It makes me see red!! Women with their children running like hooligans up and down in a supermarket, or at the doctors rooms!

People who don't help out with clean-up when there is a family dinner. You aren't at a restaurant. Take your plate to the sink! Help carry stuff to the kitchen. If everyone pitches in, it's done in no time and then everyone can be relax together instead of one or two people being stuck in the kitchen. That's all I can think of for now!

I can tell mine is throwing everywhere their chewed gum.....also while I am in Uk I find the birds blessings everywhere i dont know if anybody care for that but it looks very much nasty....

My biggest pet peeve is hypacrits...especially people who claim to be highly religious, go to church every Sunday, pay there dues volunteering for church functions, and then they turn into some judgemental monster when sitting around having a discussion...they gossip...say bad things about good friends...cut people down behind there back...play mental games with people they love....critize all that is not within the church. Judge not lest ye be judged...I don't attend church and I know that one!? I'm real sorry but I am one of those people who throw there butts out the car window...my ash tray was broken when the boys at Walmart put my new desk in my car...and when my cup holder is in use and I can't use my cuplike ashtray I toss em out the window....will you ever forgive me???? At the bank I pull into a parking spot, fill out my deposit slips then head to the drive up.
