Pet Peeves

Oooh another one: When people don't know the proper ways to use "their, they're and there" and "you're and your". C'mon people.

People who feel they need to re-write the traffic code, and this goes for drivers AND pedestrians.

Pediestrians, if it is YOUR right of way, TAKE IT, don't rewrite it by waving the other driver on. If I stop for you, pedestrian, because you have a crosswalk and no walk/don't walk light, then go. If you do have a no walk/walk light, wait till it says WALK and don't just walk out into traffic without waiting for your light if cars are oncoming.

Drivers, if you have the right of way and I have the stop sign, then just go, don't turn it into you go, no you go, no you go. Just follow the rules as written and everyone will save time.

in some cases i disagree with this. i walk a lot for exercise and when i come to a side street that is fed off a major road i often will wave person turning onto the side street to go so as not to hold up all the traffic on the main road. i'll then pass after they make the turn. i think it's more courteous to let the driver go before the pedestrian in those cases.

i believe in right of way....and if you have it take it, because if i have it, i WILL take it.

NOTHING irritates me more than going into a bathroom that has a bunch of stalls open...and a person taking the stall immediately next to you when there's clearly 20 open stalls! :evil:

I also can't stand people that never listen in a conversation - not necessarily the one-uppers, but the people that will hear what you say and go immediately into something about themselves.

People that expect you to call/text/email respond back to them within milliseconds of sending their message. I have a life and will get to you when I get to you!

But really I'm a pretty cheery person

I HATE this. Give me some breathing room. I also hate when someone I know follows me into the bathroom and feels the need to have a conversation. I'm there to do one thing and it's not to talk to you :roll:

You girls need to get woman laws passed. Men have laws already when it comes to stall and urinal use.

No wonder people are so stressed out all the time worrying about these things. :fp:

Know what my biggest pet peeve is?

Its people complaining about their pet peeves

(but really it is....even though i'm doing it right now... there is a person in my life that has a complaint (or 10) for EVERYTHING and i do mean everything)

and that is annoying as anything else that can be annoying

I agree. I blame the teachers.

My biggest pet peeve is people who hold the door open for you with strings attached.

Really I need to thank you for something that you already had to do for yourself to enter the building/room. Its not like you left your newly adopted child with a homeless person, took a taxi across town and climbed 72 flights of stairs to open that door for me.

Ohh and Facebook preachers.

People who wear their Bluetooth headsets when theyre not on a phone call. You're probably not that important.

Idiot drivers.

people with thier tablets resting agaist the steering wheel drivers

people texting away will driving drivers

people that cut me off drivers

all in the span of a quick trip to the airport and back. :fp:

i can understand why people stand on bridges and shoot at motorists...not that i condone that action....but i can sure can understand it.

Guys who think it's acceptable to wear a shirt without sleeves.

would said shirts be plastered with the word 'Affliction'?

and to OP...i usually say, "Next time should I just let the door smash you in the face?"

thread integrity:

I learned this weekend I cannot stand bartenders who tell me "there is no such drink like that" and go on for 5 MINUTES about how 'wrong' I am, when I just ordered that drink LAST NIGHT, IN THIS VERY BAR. :twisted:

...And you're the reason I started this post

But for real, if I stand there holding the door open for you as you walk up, say "thank you," it's courteous.

I also can't stand when I hold the door open for ONE person and a whole army walks through. Same thing with drivers...when leaving a crowded parking lot. Just because I let one person cut in front of me, I'm not letting the entire line behind them go!

TV Cops that give up their guns.

Then the TV criminals for not shooting the cop that just gave up their gun.

Smokers that think "outside" is their ashtray. -> Smokers with car ashtrays that have never been used.

I agree with this. I'm a smoker and I always use my car ashtray and outside ashtrays. If there are none outside, I'll put it out on the bottom of my shoe and throw it in a trash can. I see people at work that are literally feet from the outside tray and yet still toss them on the ground. UGH.

Here's another: People that don't wash their hands in the bathroom!! OMG. I don't see how anyone WOULDN'T want to wash their hands after using the bathroom. Damn, sometimes I go in there just to fix my hair and I still wash my hands

when leaving the Phillies game on Sunday, there were 45K people at the Phillies game and 20+K at the Flyers and EVERYONE took their turn leaving out of the parking lot. It was kinda nice, I've never been a part of such an orderly retreat in this area before. Just had to put that out there.

This is a great thread!!

Of course, I agree with all the common courtesy ones. I have some other pet peeves, too.

Shopping carts. If I am parked two spots down from the cart return, and when I come out of the store your cart is resting on my car, it makes me want to kill you.

Laziness. I am a high school teacher, and when kids are constantly asking me to get up and get a book from the shelf for them, it drives me nuts. I just got up to get mine, you can do the same. I am your teacher not your maid.

Toothpaste. Do NOT leave your toothpaste-remnants in the sink after brushing your teeth. Do whatever it takes to get it down the drain, more water, your finger, whatever.

This also goes for shaving. Males - if you shave in the sink, get rid of all your little whiskers!!!!! :x :x
