    LOL - I relate to sooooooo many of these! My biggest pet peeve is inappropriate use of turn signals. Is it really rocket science??? Either people don't use them at all or they drive down the street for 5 miles with their turn signal patiently blinking waiting for them to actually turn. The worst is when the person just drove 2 miles down Main St with their turn signal on then they turn it off and 1 block later turn. Arrrrrgh.

    *geez - guess that really gets me! LOL

    Oh, and when my daughter messes with the setting on the fridge and I have to throw out food either because it was too warm and spoiled quicker than it should or she cranked it up and they froze. Totally p*sses me off!! Daddy usually gets hollered at for not watching her more closely when I'm at work . . .

    hooo.. here i go !

    people reclining their seat in an airplane, i dont recline mine out of respect for the person behind me so i get squish, i then start pushing my knees up the seat ... oupsss...lol

    I thought I was one of the only people who thought that it was incredibly rude to recline your seat. Everyone says "Well that's what they are there for!" I'm sorry, but I personally don't enjoy having a stranger in my lap through a 6 hour plane ride. I also don't enjoy trying to get out of my seat with their seat in my lap! Airplane seats are small enough as it is!

    I also HATE when people feel that they have to come to a complete stop to make a right hand turn (like into a parking lot)

    When people pull out in front of you and don't know how to press the accelerator!

    Being put on hold

    People who do not take care of their animals.

    Arrogance

    I could go on and on but then I'll just be in a bad mood!

    Young people, especially males and men (oh well, it's my old school upbringing) who won't give their seat on the bus for their elder or for a female who has to stand. My son knows better than to not offer his seat.

    Yes I'm sure I'll get slammed over that. :ohwell:

    NO slam here. You are absolutely right. Hey all you other guys out there. Let's prove to these ladies that chivalry is NOT dead. I've been married to my wife for 23 years. She's still the most beautiful woman on earth to me. I always open her car door, seat her at restaurants, and make sure that I treat all women like they were my sister, mom, aunt, granny....You guys up for the challenge?

    Thank you Cowboy. When I first started dating my late boyfriend he made it very clear to me on our first date that I wasn't to open doors, that was his job. He told me "chivalry is not dead". God bless him. I miss him so much. :cry:

    ~Slow people in the FAST lane.
    ~Impatient people (is that like the opposite of the 1st one? What an oxymoron--> me).
    ~People that tempt you into eating bad foods when they know you're on a diet, but they ask you anyway....and they too are on a diet. It's like it makes it better for them if you cheat too. There is a girl that I work with that does this ALL THE TIME. It's annoying. I've been really good tho...:bigsmile:
    ~People who stare....especially when I'm eating.:tongue:

    That woman in my spin class who text messages the whole time.

    Anyone on a quiet subway car or bus that is blabbing on their cellphone.

    People who post on boards or write emails IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. I want them to please stop yelling at me. Thank you.

    "Free range children" whose parents let them run all over the place in Starbucks. My coffee is hot, and I really don't want to scald your precious little snowflake because you're not controlling them. (this is huge in my neighborhood)
