Pet Peeves

But you love him anyways, don't you? I'm the same as you when it comes to honesty. How much I charge by the hour? Hmm I never been asked that before, although hubby says I might have to hit the street corner soon (just a joke). For you sweetie, it would be free of charge.

@crazyhorseladycx Oh I love it. I bet ya'll make the sweetest, most adorable couple. You being the feisty one. That would be ideal to me. I love listening to stories, and I bet you have a bunch to tell. Along with all your pet peeves. Now, I can handle everything you thrown at me, except perhaps the trimming of the hooves. I have never done that before. Nope, I didn't faint. I had to take a bit of a break.

@TexanTornado yepperz, i love 'im 'r he'd been on the curb 'long time 'go. my tolerance fer his shenanigans though 's waned much o'er the past 15 years 'n he walks a thin, fragile line. yer jest gonna 've to pack up 'n move into mamaw's lil house so yer handy - i can tell ya all 'bout my pet peeves then. ya can laugh 't the silliness 'f many while we untangle manes, clean corrals, rebuild fences, scrub water tanks, trim hooves, haul hay....wait, did'ja jest faint??

Oh yes, they kind of forewarn you that it won't be nice. I am not one of all the sugar coating/beating around the bush either.

@crazyhorseladycx I so agree with you. It always reminds me of a book I read about the 'Southern Belles' who can be so polite when insulting someone and can tend to get away with it. For example: Bless her heart, she has the smarts of a lamp post.

@TexanTornado yepperz, they need to jest spill it 'n quit tryin' to pretend they've yer best interest 't heart.

@TexanTornado You got that right. They think they are trying to make themselves look good, when in essence, they look horrible. My es husband is a man that meas what he says and says what he means. He can't stan people who lie either. If he gets lied to, they sure do hear about it.

Yes, those that proclaim they will do something and don't, can fall under the heading of a liar. I have no patience for them either. I was taught that when you give someone your word, you should carry it out. I guess that is why I 99.5% of the time refuse to give a promise. I am not fond of 'Know It Alls'. Especially when they tend to talk down to people and half the bull they spew is just that, bull.

@rosekiss I so agree with you on all counts. See I could get along with your ex when it comes to that.

@TexanTornado Ahhh, snakes well, to be honest they are mighty handy for gettin rid of mice or rats. I'd rather not have the latter.

@TexanTornado I can see hunting to survive but to be honest I can't think of anyone who can't buy their food at wally world or a grocer where all those slaughtered livestock is sold, what really makes me mad are those idiots who kill predators for no better reason than just cuz they don't like em, it's not our call to tell God what should or shouldn't die just cuz ya don't like em now those same idiots are complaining cuz the deer is over populating and destroying forests, Nature is the perfect setup, there's good reason for all creatures. Oh man, I just can't help myself when it comes to kritters, we've done so much damage to nature that I'd be surprised if our grandchildren have any show their kids.

@rebelann Yes, you have a very valid point. Most all creatures have a reason for being. However, I still haven't found one for snakes, but that is just me. I don't approve of killing something just for the sport of it. I do know many of people who hunt deer, rabbit, squirrels, quail, duck, etc. For eating, and I won't take that away from them either.

Oh yes! That seems to be the case 95% of the time.

That is an excellent one, and all so very common too. It is becoming more and more coming as the generations go through. I am so with you there.

@DaddyEvil Well, thanks for the info. However, I find it quite rude to be talking and someone interrupt. To me it screams, 'I am more important'.

Uhm... Ladies? I am a salesperson. Just a little while ago (6:30 pm), I was talking to the Verizon representative at Verizon, trying to help one of my customers when a couple walked up. Not noticing I was on the company's phone already talking, they began making demands for my attention... *I have to presume they didn't notice the OLD FASHIONED PHONE I was using as me talking to someone already... * The representative started laughing when I gave my attention to the couple instead of finishing giving him the information he needed to finish his work for my *first* customer. *Yes, I do give eye contact when speaking with someone, whether on the phone or not... I have gotten use to people being rude while I am at work... Honestly? I really don't consider the new couple to have been rude. While I was giving needed information about the first customer's account, they had no way to know that. Nor would I dream of telling a customer that, either! It is not unusual for me to be the only available person that actually CAN answer their questions, anyway... I have had people stop me when I am obviously very busy to ask "just one question" before letting me continue/finish a crucial objective on someone else's account...* When done answering the couple's questions (multiple, not the one they originally ask for my help with), I apologized to both the representative and the original customer, then finished giving the information. *I merely wanted to point out that it may be possible a salesman is not trying to be rude to you, but feels you are the one not allowing him/her to finish his/her job before conversing with you. Of course, I was not a witness to the transactions between you and the salesperson, nor was I privy to the thoughts of the salesperson. All I know is what happens every day while I am at work, myself. I mean no offense, just wanted you to be aware of how it could have happened.*

@TexanTornado My daughter is this way. it drives me crazy. She will tell us she doesn't know how to do something. but in turn will tell us we are doing it wrong. At that point, I tell her she is on her own. Since, she knows I am doing it wrong. She knows what to do.

Oh yes, that is a good one and completely understand what you mean. I also hate that. Or ones that ask for help, but decide to do it their way anyways. I hate wasting my time on such people.

@rusty2rusty Oh no, now that is bad. I couldn't deal with that, it would take one time and that would be the end of it for me.

@TexanTornado Very true. Perhaps we should bring debate class back in order to force children to listen to another side of an argument.

@katsmeow1213 You know, you have a very valid point there. As far as I am aware of they still have it, or I should say when my youngest was in school they did. That was 3 years ago.

*nods* Oh yes, I have to agree with you there. I think it falls in to the same category as 'I'm right, you are wrong. My opinion is the only one in which matters.'

@TexanTornado ....I certainly agree. And some so enjoy it too which really boiled my cookies.

@celticeagle In so many cases it seems they 'think' it makes them a bit more macho. I say think, for they really have no clue.

I know what you mean. However, b*tch doesn't bother me half as much as a man calling a woman a c*nt. That makes me see red.

You exactly right about that.

Wow, sounds like you have quite a bit of experience in the things you mentioned. I do know exactly what you mean. I have been around people such as those you have mentioned.

@sofssu That is a shame, but it does tend to happen. It makes me think that people simply don't have a conscious. As for the 'naysayers' as you call them. I agree, they tend to try and bring everyone around them down. I try to not associate with people like that. Now, don't get me wrong everyone has a bad day every so often, but when it's constant, it becomes a drag. Yes, they annoy me big time.

@TexanTornado I have been cheated of the credit due to me a few times. The naysayers are there everywhere. I am a positive person and it troubles me when they have nothing good to say about anything... Yeah don't those I am always right kind of people annoy you?

I know what you mean. We have a lot of that here. So much so that road rage became a big time issue for a while.

I clearly see red, when I run across a liar.

Ah yes! I am so with you there, on both counts. Especially the parking one, to me that is just down right rude. As least you can pass a slow driver, and wave politely while you do it.

@TexanTornado They make me look bad by comparison.

Huh? You have a pet peeve against people who are nicer than you?

@Rollo1 I haven't heard this one before

I know what you mean about road hogs.

I have to agree with all the ones you have stated. I feel the exact same way. And to add on to one that you basically stated already. It irks me to no end, when people think their time is more valuable then yours.

@TexanTornado I have a sister like that.She hurts and then thinks time will diffuse everything. Is there not a thing called redressal before moving on?

@allknowing Yes, I understand. It's sort of a manipulation tactic. I am not a fan of people like that either.

I wasn't talking about you sweetie. I wouldn't say I was your biggest fan, for I am sure you have a fan bigger than me, but yes, I still think you are a sweetie. Oh you mean those that act like nothing happened and that everything is honky dory??

I am so with you there on the liar part. I simply have absolutely no use for them. Hmm I will take a moment and point out the fact, that I have a pet peeve about being called 'Ma'am'. It makes me sound sooooooooooo old. Although I do use in addressing women even 20 years my Junior. And I suppose it's better than being called Sir when I am female. Ok, onward we go. Perhaps your friend is simply laughing with you, but you are failing to do your own part? That has been known to happen quite often. Yes, by all means return at a later time if you come up with anymore that you wish to share. Well, I think I would prefer to take George Strait over the Ocean Front Property.

@DaddyEvil Yeah, sure you do..

@TexanTornado I'm sorry, ma'am, but I have no clue what you might be referencing. I always hit the mark with my actions/thoughts/understanding!
