Pet peeves

Yes! I mentioned that a few days ago! These people at the gym do it & it’s so annoying! Especially this one guy who plays the same song over & over 🙄2 -
People especially women because they have purses who wait to get to the cashier before having their forms of payment ready. So now you are going through your unorganized bag of stuff and holding up the entire line. When you have had plenty of time to get it ready the whole time you were waiting.2

You should see the mens...CoffeeAndContour wrote: »People who cough/sneeze in public and do not cover their mouth.
Also people who don’t flush the toilette. Or pay attention when they are squatting over the potty. I avoid public restrooms at all costs because women’s bathrooms are always filthy.

Is it bad? Women are so gross in public restrooms that I often think that the Men’s can’t be that bad!0 -

Women’s are worse. I know because I sneak into the men’s restroom when the women’s are really nasty.
Women don’t flush, they pee on the seat and sometimes the floor, they somehow manage to drop their toilette paper on the floor too along with some other nasty stuff but I will spare you the rest of the details.
Yup I know the struggle! I work in a place that has a public restroom & I can’t believe some of the things I have seen 🤮0 -
i've said it before and i'll say it again, but yeah, totally agree on the women's bathrooms being worse. used to work retail in a video store and the women's bathrooms were a thousand times worse. like absolutely vile disgusting stuff.
plus the women who wanted to the use the bathrooms there were mostly mentally damaged i think...like one time i was cleaning them up late on a friday towards the end of my shift. i had a sign up on the door and the door propped open and this lady came in and was like how long are you going to be. i told her about 2 more minutes and she left.
well, she left and went to my manager and was like "there's a man in the ladies restroom you need to call the police".
it was so bizarre. like i guess she thought the manager wasn't aware one of her employees was cleaning the bathrooms and that she'd just call the police based on her word?
the guys were nasty too, but mostly you'd just find strange things in there that really made you scratch your head. like one time some guy went number 2 in the toilet and then stuffed his belt down in there. like a black leather belt. just stuffed halfway down the toilet.1 -
People who do things like this in breakrooms or any public place 😒

Drs. that deliberately overbook their appointment times, as though my time isn't important at all. I can see an occasional emergency, but not every time. I will wait 30 minutes, and then I will leave and stop by the desk and let them know why I am leaving.
People that ask what you think, and then want to argue with you (I'm thinking of my husband when he asks me what I think about something, but he has already decided what he wants to do. Why ask me? Just do it.)
People that repeatedly ask for advice, and then respond to everything you say with a "yes, but" as a reason they couldn't possibly do that.

I have billed Doctors for being late for my appointment. Never been payed yet, but it does get their attention.0 -

So when you inevitably reschedule your appointment, does your doctor take into consideration why you had left? [/quote]
I'm sure that they list me as a "problem" patient. I'm not above telling the Dr. directly that I don't care for his scheduling practices. Most of the time, I do get seen much quicker. If it doesn't change, I no longer see that Dr.
When I was seeing the orthopedic surgeon in town, and was kept waiting for an hour (1/2 hour in the waiting room, and another half hour in his examining room) I asked his nurse on my way out if he always ran behind. She told me he did because he would start having them schedule appointments at 8 am, and then he never arrived before 9, so he ran behind an hour every day. I never went back to him.
I love the idea of billing them for being late!! I always make it a point to be on time, so I think they should too. I used to see a gastroenterologist that ran his practice like a tight ship. He always was within 5 mintues of the appointment (and he didn't leave you sitting in the examining room for an extraordinary period of time either). Yet, when I saw him, I never felt rushed or like he wasn't listening to what I was saying.)
This is a small town and the Drs. here think they can do as they please, because they think they have a captive audience.

I agree that women's bathrooms are always disgusting, unless they have an attendant who is keeping things clean. I wonder what these messy women's home bathrooms are like.0

I live in a rural area and have no problem changing to Doctors that meet my need and not theirs.
Sometimes its a shock to them till I explain my bill rate is $256. That is what the company I used to work for charge the their customers and it was costing me $90 an hour to be there. Time is money. You are either spending it or earning it.2 -
People in restaurants who blow their nose at the table while other tables are trying to eat,......use the rest room.0
-
People who smack their lips when they eat. Know it alls. People who have the wrong number and still call you back three or four times as if you’ve mysteriously transformed into the person they are trying to reach.0

There is a thing down here I call the "Alabama turn". You are going to turn so you come to a dead stop in the middle of the road, and then proceed to turn the steering wheel as slowly as possible and make the slowest turn possible.
When people say to me "You're not from around here, are you?"
Constant solicitations for donations.

When people at the gym take a bench just to sit their personal items on. Just selfish & inconsiderate. Also people who think they “own” a locker & leave their stuff in there locked 24/7.2

only thing worse than that, least imo, is those that don't put a lock on the locker at all.
i literally lose my mind a little more every time i open a locker up to put my stuff away and someone else already has their stuff in there. this happened to me with 5 lockers in a row a month ago and i nearly had an aneurysm.4 -
Hyping holidays well before they are here. For example, today is September 10th, yet stores are rolling out Halloween decorations and in some stores, Christmas decorations. The day after Christmas, they will be rolling out the Valentines Day stuff. I feel like retail is trying to rush me through my life. You know how your grandparents told you that as you age, time goes by faster and faster - well, that happens to be true. But must I be rushed through my life by retail?1

When people call you in the middle of a really REALLY good dream, waking you up.
Damnit! 😒1 -

Depending on the weather, I walk through Target on my lunch hour and this bugs me so much! It also bugs me that Thanksgiving only gets a tiny end display when every other holiday gets like 2 aisles worth of stuff.1 -
I cant even stand to look at my pet peeve. all that orange skin.

When the phone rings all day long with nuisance calls.0

Pet peeves .. hmmmm
. Travelling by train - people shutting your window without asking .. people eating smelly food
. Navigating the streets - people who just suddenly stop (I deliberately send them packing) or people who walk looking down at their phone so you have to break dance around them ...
. Photoshop .. it’s unrealistic and young impressionable people will feel inadequate when it’s actually a lie
. Tax ... need I say anymore
. Holidays - when people get up exceptionally early and lay a load of towels down and then not use them for most of the day ... prepare to find them floating in the pool
My list goes on .....0 -

When your main course comes before you can eat your salad or appetizer.
And when your server waits until your mouth is full, before asking you if everything is okay. Or when they ask how everything is, before you get to try it.
When I want my check, and the server has just disappeared.0
