Pet Peeves!
Replies

I know I probably smack when I eat, but I hate hearing other people do it.
- People who say, "Have a bless day!" (That ED feels so discarded and unloved!)
- All the people who use literally in every sentence -- incorrectly. They literally have no clue what this word means.
- People who see you waiting to get something off the shelf in the grocery store and then take their sweet time BLOCKING THE ENTIRE SECTION WITH THEIR BODY/CART. What's worse, I had one lady give me a dirty look because I just had to give up and say, "Can I get in here? Excuse me," and then reached into her bubble to get what I needed. I guess she wanted me to wait all day while she decided the perfect BOGO cheese configuration.
- I love old people, but being behind them in a checkout line can be the absolute worst if you are in a hurry. I try to be understanding; they are from a time where people weren't in such a rush. You took time to talk to the clerk, even after you've paid and your groceries are bagged. I get it, so I rage inwardly and look polite on the outside.
- I am always the one to get pushed into awkwardness when trying to walk on a sidewalk with three people. I don't know how this happens, and it annoys the crap out of me. Awkwardtown: population me.
- People who don't use turn signals. Everyone just slowly drifts in your lane around here -- it's like a tire at a time. It makes me super paranoid, because every time someone gets close to the line I am like, "Are you getting in here? Do you want in on this? What are you doing dude?"

This is from when I used to date, but I hate when guys stare at me and don't say anything. Like not just the standard 10 second, "Do I know this person?" evaluation, but like a lingering stare that follows you around for a good ten minutes. Like you are walking around the mall or the store and you can just feel their eyes on you; you even look up occasionally, and see them staring. Even now I hate it, because I'm self-conscious and awkward enough without an audience.1

Thanks for the nightmare fuel, I appreciate it.0 -
People who suddenly speed up when you're approaching them on the highway - and then proceed to slow down around curves, up hills, while approaching another vehicle they're about to pass etc... all places you would have held your speed constant.4
-
People that are dressed like pirates but aren't talking like pirates.4
-
people who call your cell and house numbers and are too ignorant to leave a message... or at least a send text.0

When someone cleans my organized clutter.1

Living in NoVA, all of my pet peeves fall around drivers. The list is so long....0

When driving, with the right of way, (green light , straight ahead) and someone turns in front of you and you have to break quickly...wt heck...if I have to slam on my breaks, you didn't have enough time to make your dumb *kitten* turn..happens too frequently to me (and I do the speed limit)3

haha got my first censor, for dumb "a s s"0

Idiots blasting their music full volume in public, disturbing the peacefulness of the hiking trails at my local nature preserve. Doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's obnoxious as hell because it carries throughout the canyons and across the valley. Triple bonus peeve points if it's country music. Something about country music especially makes me want to punch a wall.

Ugh. Why are those stupid "Would you date/kiss/kill zombies with the previous poster?" threads ALWAYS clogging up the feeds? Are they THAT popular? You'd think that crap would get old after the first 15 million responses.
P.S. No offense if you're one of those posters...

I've wondered how to even try to respond to those threads...like you have to be the fastest typist on the internet to get your response in the right order, otherwise it doesn't make sense unless you quote the post I guess...1

Reading posts where ppl reference "loosing weight" rather than "losing weight"
Elderly drivers that insist on being in the fast lane but going 10-15 miles under the speed limit...honestly, doing the speed limit isn't that scary, I promise0 -
4-H. Kids that raise livestock like pets then sell them to market. That seems awful.1

Never mind the trails...I live in Queens, NYC and we now have not just CARS that blast music, but bicyclists and pedestrians!! WTF?? There's a moron in my building who walks around with a giant bluetooth speaker on his chest with reggae blasting. Not only does he play it out on the sidewalk, but he doesn't turn it down when he walks through the halls to his apartment!! I've asked him politely twice now, to turn it off inside, but I think he must be developmentally challenged, because he continues to offend.
It's a sign of the times. My dear old Uncle Eddie, back in the late 60s and early 70s, used to say, "These days, it's all 'Hooray for ME, and F**K you'. I guess nothing has changed.2 -

What I've found is that MANY threads are dominated by the same group of 10 or 20 people, who are all sharing inside jokes and hijack topics and devolve the thread into inane blather, and they are snarky and even hostile, or else simply ignore anyone else that tries to engage. I've decided that I can't waste my time with this stupidity anymore. If I want to have a serious discussion about something, I'll PM one of my contacts.5 -
When I'm trying 2 kiss a woman & her husband walks in ....Really Bro?!!3
-
Trolls who get "flag" happy and the mods who jail and ban the wrong people because of it. It makes the good peeps stay away from the forums. Also perfectly good threads that get shut down because of trolls.5

When I can't even say what annoys me because someone would do it on purpose.2

When I watch these survival shows or a show where people are put into a situation for a while, say, Big Brother for example, but I'm leaning more towards survival ones..... and they let smokers take in their cigarettes, because they are a 'necessity'...... yeah, get fecked.0

When people write short novels in their responses. Include a TL;DR summary for those that don't want to read everything. It gets old reading novels for every response.1

Being ignored... for some reason it cuts me really deep. I rather have someone hurt my feelings than ignore me.3
