What's Your Pet Peeve? (page 4)

Bendrr,

I so miss John Boy and Billy!! That is one of the things I bring back north when I go home, their grillin sauce.

I wait in the queue with my basket full of groceries...along comes a middle aged woman with '2' things in her hand...she stands behind me aggitated and impatient. When my turn comes, I step aside and let her go thru with her '2' things. She then calls her son who is at the end of another queue with his '2' things...she walks thru the check out and I catch her eye and say 'you are welcome by the way'. She then says 'oh thank you, sorry'. Too late...I am offended!

I have another one...

Walking thru a doorway and there are a couple of strangers behind you, so you step to the side and hold the door open for the strangers...they walk straight past as if you're paid to wait on them....as if!!! Again, as they briskly walk past with their eyes fixed straight ahead I mutter 'you're welcome, you have a nice day now'...they continue along their path of selfishness. I secretly wish them all bad fortune for the rest of the day.

Telemarketers. Can't stand them. We must get 3 or 4 calls on an average day. I tend not to be very nice sometimes, and I always ask to be taken off their calling list. Doesn't seem to work, though, we keep getting calls.

Maybe it's my punishment for all those doors I knocked on.

People who call the doctor's office (where I work) and have a new ailment, but seem to think they need to start from the birth canal and tell you blow by blow of every scraped knee,hang nail and hemorrhoid they've ever had in their life only to finally get to the point that they've got a cold and would like to know what kind of cough syrup to use! Gee people...if you're going to do this then don't b*tch that YOU had to wait on hold for 5 minutes! The person before you probably is 10 years older than you and has had a lot more hemorrhoid problems than you did!

Thanks for letting me get this off my chest!!

Having a good laugh here. I can relate to alot of these. I'll add:

1. Movies on Television. I hate it when TV cuts off the end and starts running advertisements and squishes the credits off to one side. Especially when it was a moving story. It totaly ruins the mood.

2. Radio programming. Same stuff on every station, can't find the music I want when I want, nothing new unless it it follows the rules. Cookie cutter programming.

3. Clerks who don't listen. Ask for cream cheese and get butter. Ask for butter and get plain. Ask for no sugar and get both cream and suger.

4. Tailgaters. I'm traveling 10 to 15 miles per hour over the limit and they still get right up on my rear bumper as if to say I'm not going fast enough.

5. Slow drivers who go 45 in a 55, or 50 in a 65, and pile up cars as far back as the eyes can see because there's nowhere to safely pass.

6. People who assume that apostates hate Jehovah. How can I hate what does not exist?

Oh, and moving graphics in the field of text! I hate that!

A few of mine.....

1) People who wait until you have headphones on AND deep into a book, before they decide that they MUST conversate with you.

2) People who think they are the SHIT; that they are " SO special" or have "special circumstances" that necessitate their sashaying to the front of the pharmacy line to get their Rx filled in front of everyone else. "**I**need this filled (grandly tosses Rx on the counter)...put a rush on it because *I* have things to do". Back of the line, fool!!!

3) Anyone who expresses undue, exaggerated shock that I am knowledgeable of subjects that "Black people aren't supposed to know anything about." I know you may be surprised, but let's not have a coronary, mmm'kay?

In full agreement with the traffic and grocery store peeves! I have many more but the above 3 have been bothering me lately.

I'm enjoying everyone's peeves. Mine usually relate to what somebody else does to ruin my moments of peace.

So I am peeved when:

1. Anyone gets offended when I don't laugh at their nasty small penis black lawyer blonde pubic hair Polish-Italian-Irish-Dothead-Jewish-Catholic WASP jokes.

2. A friend decides it's okay to bring their pet dog into my house for a visit. Out damn Spot or Rintintin or whoever...

3. Friends who do not return the books they borrow.

I'm really enjoying these replies....Noidea, you had me laughing hard, and same w your sis, lol....hope my wife doesn't feel the same way!

Oh, here's another one of mine...Home Depot hardware stores. The commercials show these smiling clerks that are happy to take their time to assist customers. My experience at my local Home Depot has always been the opposite - I can't seem to get the clerks to stop and assist me, and when I finally do, I get the distinct impression that I am inconveniencing them. Also, (and maybe Mike was alluding to this same thing with Wal-Mart), the store is just so freakin' BIG. I know it has to be that way to carry some of the stuff a store like that must carry, but if I need an everday item or smaller stuff, I much prefer my local True Value store.

One reason I enjoy posts like this (or like Naeblis's pic post) is that it's cool getting to know my fellow board members a little better.
