Pet peeves

[Daizie]

Last month, at the monthly poker game at my house, one of my friends started chewing tobacco. I explained my problem to him, and he kept it quiet (basically I threatened to throw up on HIM if he made me sick with the spitting).

Then, the fucking retard left the bottle he was spitting into on the table when he left for home at 7am. It was capped, but still....

...next time he came over, I punched him in the stomach and made a new rule: No chewing tobacco in the house.

Now that is just vomit-worthy. Should have stashed the bottle with spit until next time he came over and when he asked for a beer, give it to him uncapped.

Posts with an emoticon after every damn sentence. Especially when there are smilies aplenty available. Not that that wouldn't bug me too, but to a lesser degree.

Advertising that thinks I'm stupid.

"No detergent works better" means that every other detergent works just as well. You can't walk into McDonald's with a dollar bill and expect to buy anything on the dollar menu. Selling a car for "less than twenty-five thousand dollars" and then putting a sticker on it for $24,995 isn't good practice, it's fucked up.

Those beds that say they don't transfer movement from your partner's side of the bed? Sure, that works ... if you sleep on the bare mattress with no sheets over you.

When the car in front of me stops in the middle of the road so that the driver or passenger can have a conversation with with a buddy they spotted walking down the sidewalk. They can make matters even better by giving me a dirty look and impatiently waving for me to go around them like I don't know the rules of the road.

Holy shitting mother of fuck.

I hate grocery stores.

Other than providing me with necessary sustenance, I loathe the fact that if you go at any decent hour (between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m.) you will be accosted by the rudeness of several generations.

In the morning the very elderly people are there. They're causing crazy accidents in the parking lot by each pulling out at the exact same moment.
Try looking out your rearview mirror, that's why it was invented.
In the store, they don't care who they run over, bump, push, or hover near with their needy frailties.

It's one thing if these elderly men and women are peacefully tooling around the supermarket, but it's quite another when they cause mayhem and then pretend that they're not responsible for all the shit-ass craziness that comes of it.
If you run me over with your cart, I'm going to get pissed off at you. I don't care how old or innocent you look.

If you go later in the day you get the mothers who have been reigning in their tigers of rage for years, and who only free them in short but very venomous stretches.
These women do not believe in personal space.
The words "Excuse me" are more foreign than the image of a fully-clothed Mariah Carey.

People push as if the three minutes they might save by slapping their items on the first smidgen of free belt will be the three minutes that save them from spontaneous combustion.

Next time, I'm telling some bitches off.

lol. yes. we have so much in common

 

[limiwa]

one more cranky b*tch....

f*cking snow birds driving their houses on wheels while their cars are lassoed on the ass end, up and down the streets at four miles per hour is not bad enough. They have to take up all the parking spaces at the grocery store.....Then they run you over with their carts, steal your personal space, and cut in line.

Go Home!

Keeping with the grocery theme

Women who wear the skimpiest clothing to the grocery store and then act pissed when they are accosted by single men while in said store AND the men who accost them.

Last year I was in my local grocery and as I was picking up my weekly staples noticed a girl walking quickly through the aisles wearing super-short shorts and a t-shirt that read "My boyfriend is out of town." Breast implants (huge), no bra, midriff exposed. High heels, too.

She was zipping around from rack to rack picking up her items without hesitation as the cat calls and whistles were building by the minute. You could hear from many aisles over the men actually saying out loud: "I'll keep you company while he's gone, baby." The one time this happened while she was within my sight I saw her roll her eyes in disgust.

My question is: What the fuck did she think was going to happen? It's like she was begging for it. Come on!

On the other hand, why are men so painfully loathsome? I felt dirty when she glanced at me in passing, like she was waiting for me to say the same shit. I looked, sure - she was a pretty girl - but I didn't make an ass of myself.

My question to the men: How did you think she was going to respond to your loud, obnoxious advances? "Oh. my! I'm so glad you told me you're interested. Luckily, my boyfriend really is out of town and I'm horny as fuck. Follow me to the parking lot and we'll have a little fun, stud."

People suck.

This is hilarious.

I don't go to the grocery store before 10pm for this very reason. And weekends are totally out. I went at 2am last week. It was beautiful. The aisles were practically empty save the occasional stock boy and his cart of cereal boxes or soup cans. Used the automatic checkout lane. Didn't have to interact with a soul

Grocery theme

It distresses me when I see people buying nothing but chips, candy, doughnuts, juice boxes, frozen pizza and "toaster pastries," especially if they have kids. I myself like a little junk food from time to time, but come on, is it really that hard to learn how to buy and cook real food?

Wow, I sound snobby.

School vacation schedules are driving me up a wall.

They just had two whole weeks off but the day after they go back, another day off, come on people some of us do have jobs.

People who post fake pics claiming it's really them. And then saying they don't have a problem with the "Who's Sexiest" poll.

Speaking of idiots drivers.. I completely loathe drivers that think because we ride in a big truck that gives them reason to cut in front of us. Do they not realize that if they had to slam on breaks.. given the very little space between our truck and thier car..thier ass end would be eaten up because we can not stop on a dime?? Everyone is always complaing about truck drivers when the real nuisance is the drivers that think they own the road. I am not saying all truck drivers are innocent but we have to share the road. They have got to remember that we have loved ones at home too and we want to see them again and not from a hospital bed.

I generally truckers, but sometimes they like to throw their weight around. There was one who wouldn't let me merge the other day, and there wasn't anybody in the left lane or anything.

You have some that do that and I hate that they do.. It gives the rest of us a bad name.

People who cross the street when it is clearly not their turn. The big orange hand indicating stop actually means.....(big surprise).....STOP! The green man walking means you can cross the street.

And yet I see people crossing when they should be stopping or better yet....making me stop and wait while they cross the street. Did the rules of crossing the street suddenly change? I was not notified of this. I remember clearly being told how to properly cross the street and to make sure to look BOTH ways before doing so. However, people (young punks) now cross without so much as a sideways glance.

And yet....if I were to hit them with my car....I would be the one to go to jail...

only if you do it on my thread and not here since this is the pet peeves thread and I would hope that you are not peeving my booty

I don't know if this happens in the ladies' room, but I hate shithouse conversationalists.

I'm on the crapper - please don't talk to me. Or maybe I'm taking a piss. Again, don't talk to me. Don't say,"Hi." Don't grunt a greeting. Don't make eye contact. Ignore me.

Hmmm a pet peeve of mine would be... Pilots that don't use the correct radio frequencies or follow right-of-way rules set forth by the FAA.

Oh and tractors that park on the freaking runway... I mean come on... it's a fucking runway!

I don't know if this one has been mentioned yet but I hate drivers that go extremely slow... then when you try to pass them they match your speed and don't let you pass.

I also hate it when people take advantage of government programs that are meant to help people in dire need... and taxpayers end up with the damn bill.


Ahhh that does feel good!

You have no idea how hard it is for me to NOT run them right the fuck over. Mother fuckers. If I ever get the good fortune to witness someone screaming through an intersection and killing a dozen of these little pricks, I will certainly tell the police that I didn't see a fucking thing.
