Pet Peeves

[BlackWolf65]

Terrible table manners, especially if the person is shovelling food and is chewing with his/her mouth open - it reeks of inconsideration. I know, I'm a snob.

The description that you've posted doesn't make you a snob. That's just downright disgusting. It's one thing if you're a three year old - that gives you an excuse for poor table manners. In an adult... It's just plain rude and disgusting.

i found a new one today - people that take the entire on-ramp lane to come onto the interstate - it wasn't built to be that long just so you could drive the entire length of it and then at the last minute hit your blinker and expect someone to let you over...

Do you have road rage?? I know I do. I'm usually pretty easy going, until I get on the road. Then it seems like the entire world is filled with incompetent idiots... LOL...

My biggest pet peeve (at the moment) is when the city decides they're gonna do work on the alley behind my house without givin' me notice so that I can make sure my car is parked elsewhere . . . instead their big honkin' trucks block me in and they get pissed at me when I ask them nicely to back up just a wee little bit.

My daughter makes fun of me: "Daddy, why is it that when you drive every other person on the road is a moron?" And my reply is usually, "I don't know *why*, they're morons, I just know they are - every one of 'em." This is usually followed almost immediately by me screaming at some jerk who just cut me off...

You're probably right. I was actually thinking to a time when I almost lost my appetite from watching someone eat and then was accused of being an elitist snob (by the same person, by the way) for eating with a fork and knife. Oh well. The perfect diet I suppose.

I bet I can top that...

When I was fifteen, I was at my girlfriend's home for dinner. There was another guest there, a friend of the family's. This man sat at the table, and he snorted, chomped, snuffled, smacked, and gulped his way through dinner. At one point, he made a comment that the reason that he ate as noisily as he did was because he was an Orthodox Jew, and in his culture, to make those noises while eating was considered to be good etiquette.

Remember, I was a fifteen year old boy. Gross things would normally be funny to boy that age. I was completely disgusted...

I didn't buy his excuse then, and I sure as hell don't buy it now...

Ooo, good one! Mine revolves around a roommate who brandished her fork in her fist, shovelled food using both the fork and her other hand and chewed with her mouth open. But she, unlike your 'adventure', didn't have an excuse. And she probably didn't snort.

Okay... We all have them. Those little things that just drive us completely out of our minds. It can be something that people do, it can be some kind of a situation, whatever...

So, I'll start it off:

Internet shorthand. This drives me absolutely BUG-SHIT. You know what I mean: "How r u today?" "bff," all of those idiotic, grammatically INCORRECT little shorthand things that get used on the internet... For God's fuckin' sake, if you can't spell the word, you've got no business being at a keyboard in the first place!! And I'll be the first to admit that on occasion, I use it too...

Doesn't make it right!!

And "right" is exactly what it isn't...

Woo hoo then I'ma have fun pullin' ur chain ha!

sheesh and I thought I was anal

#1 pet peeve
Driving while talking on your cell phone going 35 in a 50.

Get The Fuck Off The Phone And Drive!

How vain do you have to be to think you are so important that you jepordize others lives so you can chat away while driving?

Ugh just thinking about it gets my blood boiling lol

On the topic...

Since we're on the topic of cell phones pet peeves, here's mine: when I'm with a person, chatting or business or study related, and his/her mobile rings, and s/he picks it up (preferably in mid-sentence) without even an "excuse me" or "I have to get this". And then have the gall to discuss Aunt Martha's bowel troubles. Ah, I feel much better. Thank you.

I assume 'gall' was a lucky coincidence of a word...?

One of my (many) cell phone pet peeves is this: some adnoidal sorority girl is chatting away at megaphone volume about the minor inconsequences of her day and mind. At a certain point, she says, "Anyway, I'm right outside. I'll see you in a second." Kills me. You couldn't wait to share that fascinating bit of narration for the twelve and a half seconds of doorbell/elevator time?

Maybe I'm just old school but they really need to come up with cell phone etiquette. (sp?)

Going out with friends and whole time your with them they're either on cell talking or text'ing what's up with that?

Few weeks back I was stuck in 5 'o clock traffic and boxed in on either side of me both people on their cells, the lady on the right of me even had a freekin' crossword puzzle and pen in her hand that was driving the steering wheel, while her other hand holding cell to her ear. <shakes head>

People who use the phase, "You always..."

No one always does anything.

But some people never do anything. They're called congress.

Toothpaste caps and Toilet paper rolls,

Apparently, there is mobile etiquette, a whole slew of them - Dan Briody wrote the 10 commandments of cell phone etiquette, and Denise McCluggage has the basic rules, but the strange thing is, those who break the rules are the ones who need to read them.
I really strongly dislike cell phones...

I refused to have one for a long time and even still get chastised because I always have it turned off or leave it at home when I'm out lol.
Sheesh if i wanted to talk on the phone I'd be home lol

Which is exactly why I chucked mine out when I came back. I mean, nobody is that important that they have to be constantly available and sharing their personal issues with the whole building.

^5 good for you!

 

[simply_subbie]

parents who take their kids somewhere and then dont watch them, expecting total strangers to make sure they dont run out the front door and into the street.

oh and parents that will stand there and yell at their 3-year-old to "get over here" a hundred times instead of just going and getting the kid.

Thank you! Did you know that cell phones bounce? Try it one of these days. It's not only therapeutic but liberating as well...
