    People who think they can go the speed limit on the interstate when it's snowing and icy. Like.. "the speed limit is 65 and that's how fast I'm going to go". A lady just got killed last week here in western WA when we were having a freaky sleet storm on I-5. Most of the traffic had slowed down, but she was still going the speed limit. She broke loose in her SUV and slid right under the front of a big semi. That was the end of her. And.. that's how people get killed on the side of the road.

    I lived in Alaska for over 20 years and you often heard of people getting killed when their car stalled on the side of the road and there was no other traffic. What happens is; there you are stuck well out of the lane of traffic. There is almost NO traffic say, between Anchorage and Fairbanks. Okay, so ONE car comes along and smashes into the stalled car and driver. The only other car on the road. The way that happens is; when you first see the car stalled on the side of the road, you slow down AT THAT TIME, not when you get right up near them and slam on your brakes (or if you are going too fast and just let up on the gas). Then you have no control over where your car is going to go. Is an extra 15 seconds going to ruin your life? How would you feel if you killed someone or caused someone to get killed? Sometimes I wonder if people even give a *kitten* any more.

    When a professor sends out a study guide, you spend all day working on it, and then they send out an email that oh whoops, half those topics aren't going to be on the test -.-

    ... when people use there phones at the movie theater, even for a so called emergency. I have never heard anything that would even remotely count

    and if you post your "movie phone emergency" and it does not involve the president calling you for the code to launch a nuclear war or a dead child, I will mock you. :laugh: :devil:

    THIS! I hate it when people text or USE IPADS during a movie! It's BRIGHT. gah

    Guess I'd better get out of here. Too many "entitled" people with no consideration for others. ME ME ME. Nobody else matters. Maybe I'm just grouchy today, but someday all you "mememe-s" will get a rude awakening and realize the earth doesn't revolve around you and your whims.

    People who spell "peeves" incorrectly.

    ^^^^ This
    People who use '^^^^ This' instead of just saying 'I agree'. Lazy.
  • I absolutly HATE when people where pajama pants and slippers to the store!!!!

    When people don't recognize irony.
  • Noisy eaters! I'm not even sure why I hate eating noises so much, but when someone chews and munches so loudly the neighbours can hear it and talks with half a chicken in their mouth, I have to excuse myself and leave the room. Just can't handle it.

    Also, I generally have a hard time dealing with close-minded people and bigots with whom you can't have a rational debate.

    That's about it, though. No, wait - I hate people who drive through huge, muddy puddles at full throttle when you're walking on the sidewalk and are inevitably going to get soaking wet.

    Clean laundry that is sitting on the bed that needs to be folded when I am really tired and ready to go to bed. Not sure why this one bothers me so much.

    ME TOO..My husband helps with household chores while I am at work (he is disabled), and he will just dump the clean dry clothes on the bed. Which I never find until I am ready to go to bed. Grrrrrrrrr:mad:

    I really hate to say anything, since he is helping out. :heart:

    ^this

    It was the first thing I noticed. I cannot stand spelling errors. And cars that don't use their signals.

    When people talk on their cell or text at inappropriate times.

    I've worked retail for a long time, and this is SUPER rude. Plus, I don't care that your one of your friends got dumped.

    I've seen people do this on dates, too. What are they thinking?

    I absolutely agree with people talking on their phone at inappropriate times. I work at a dry cleaner and obviously need to speak to you to get your information either for your drop off or pickup and im sitting there waiting for you to get off your phone its just rude if you werent ready then wait outside till you finish your call or ask them to wait a second

    I can't stand when people tell me I'm too quiet; especially people who don't even know me. Just makes my blood boil. :explode:
    If I have something to say, I'll say it. Some people can be really rude and obnoxious about it, which makes me not want to talk to them at all. By that point, they should consider themselves lucky I'm keeping my mouth shut, because the truth is I'd really like to let them have it. :angry:

    When people ask my opinion then get mad cuz I gave them my honest opinion instead of telling them what they want to hear.

    People who tell me something that I probably know more about. IE I have two rabbits. You wouldn't believe how man people who have never owned one give me advice about them.

    People who cut me off driving and then go 30 MPH

    People who are loud in resteraunts

    People who don't put their dogs on a leash. The poor thing is going to get hit by a car because you're a dumbf*ck.

    I could go on and on. Frankly I'm a grouch. :bigsmile:

    best friend?
    i also have a huge issue with people who have not yet grasped basic spelling and grammar. if you're 12, that's one thing. if you have a job (full-time, part-time, or being a parent), there is no excuse!
    also, i hate people who drive and park like *kitten*. stop it already.

    I don't like when people spell "peeves" wrong...
    Actually, I'm a bit of a spelling Nazi, but my biggest pet peeve is when people wait until the very last possible moment to get into the correct lane... especially if they don't use a turn signal.

    People who spell lose wrong. You're not trying to loose weight, you're losing weight!

    omg seriously.

    Ya, I'm a little OCD when it comes to spelling and grammar so when I see it used incorrectly, I have a little melt down on this end of the computer. :laugh:

    ps. When people talk and chew gum at the same time. This drives me crazy! :mad:

    Thanks for reminded me. I also can't stand when people who are particular about something minor say they are "so OCD" about it. It is an insult to people who actually suffer from this serious mental illness. Unless you have actual obsessions and compulsions, you do not have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

    When parents and/or guardians drop off and pick up their children from school in pajamas and slippers! Seriously??! That is just unacceptable!

    people who dont pick up their dogs poop !

    people who choose not to discipline their children then complain about their behaviour

    psst I am your number one SPELLING offender !!!
  • I can't stand it when people turn (driving their car) going like 2 miles an hour...give it a little gas honey...also, I hate it when people don't use their headlights when it's raining/ dark/ foggy...especially those blue gray cars that blend in with the sky and road...also, when people drive 5 miles under the speed limit in the fast/ left hand lane...ugh...Being a full time student at 2 colleges, working full time, volunteering, and squeezing in time to exercise, I just don't have 5 minutes to waste because stupid people drive so dang slow...ok, I feel better now :blushing:



    it's like we think the same :indifferent:

    -- People who are anti-gun/firearms
    -- Spelling peeve incorrectly
    -- People who think they are smarter than me and try to tell me what to do

    It is actually CDO which is a lot like OCD but in alphabetical order like it is supposed to be!!

    People who b*tch and moan about how they don't have money then they turn around and post pictures of their new tattoo or home decor item on facebook. I seriously have someone on my page that begs people to help them out because they can't pay their mortgage, then they talk about going to dinner or asking advice on where to buy an item that isn't a necessity or talks about hte 25 boxes of Girl Scout cookies they bought...Seriously?!

    People who get dogs,then leave them chained to a dog house every freaking day of the year. I've seriously thought about stealing these poor dogs and re-homing them.

    People who post pictures of abused pets on facebook. I work with children who were abused every day, I don't feel the need to come home and see that crap on my news feed. I know that animal abuse happens and it makes me sick but seeing a dog with half it's face blown off is not going to solve anything. You feel so strongly about it? Go rescue a animal. I dang near have a panic attack when I hear Sarah McLaughlin on TV now because I can't watch those commercials. I actually posted a status asking friend's to block those posts from me or delete me.

    So, is the president often concerned with launching dead children? :huh:

    I was on call and the computer system went down for the biggest hospital in the state, preventing ANY admissions, treatments or medications. No work could be started to bring it back up before I was on board with the issue. Is that enough?

    When people say "I could care less"

    it's "I couldn't care less."


    I also got really irritated when my kids were newborns and people where trying to stick their hands and faces all up in their space. I swear I wanted to scream for people to gtfo!
    I could care less is THE WORST.
