    Hold on:
    There are people who just graduated high school and consider/don't consider themselves smart, but are actually really smart.

    There are also people who just graduated high school and are incredibly stupid, but their parents and closest loved ones alone are deluded that they are so smart and so special.

    If you are smart, it shows in your actions and way of life. That is all I said.

    I am not a classist, though I may be accidentally mistaken as one sometimes I come across as one ;)

    Fair enough. But here...fixed it for you :wink:

    I just told a gentleman and his wife on the train that I am a furniture salesman.

    Put that down as my pet peeve. People asking me what I do for a living just because of small talk.

    :D

    I dislike this, more than anything because I dislike admitting, that I don't work & then people ask why, since I don't "look disabled". So I just bury my face, into my cellular & try to avoid, any small talking; with anyone. Plus the impatient drivers, whom expect me; to run across the street because I am not in a wheelchair, using a walker/cane and/or walking, with a limp.

    I hate when waiters ask "Are you still working?" when, yes, the fact that I am mid-bite might hint that I am still "working" on eating :unamused: Plus, then I have to try to answer "Yes" with my mouth full :unamused:

    I usually just wait, and swallow, and say "Betch back away from my food" :unamused:

    you guys really killed this thread will all that TL;DR talk.

    Pet Peeve: People who tell me they have to tell me something...then proceed to wait hours before they tell. Don't mention anything until you are *kitten* ready to talk to me

    Yes! It gives me crazy anxiety!

    That's literally the definition of small talk. What else are they supposed to ask?

    I hate it too though...bc they end up asking incorrect follow up questions. And even if I try to explain, they don't get it. So it usually is a bit of a frustrating interaction lol

    (Btw....using the word "literally" just to peeve that one guy :tongue:)

    But if it is in fact the actual definition...the literally is appropriate.

    Bless you.

    People going through the grocery checkout who realise they forgot something then hold the line up while they run and get it .. :/

    Left turns into busy traffic. I will drive miles out of my way to prevent them.

    Oh I have SO many!
    For example:

    1. Finding the milk container empty in the fridge!
    2. cigarette smoke first thing in the morning, or any time for that matter!
    3. My adult kids ignoring my texts and emails, until they need something.
    4. The use of "irregardless". Its NOT a word, don't use it!
