Pet PEEVES?
Replies
-
People who claim they know or are related to almost everyone.
My daughter is obsessed with finding ways she is related to her friends and everyone else. It DOES get annoying. I'm always telling her, "That doesn't make you related!"0 -
People who start threads and then don't respond or acknowledge those who took the time to respond.
Every notice how they tend to drop bombs too, along the lines of I'm being abused by this person in my life and accepting the abuse, and then they bolt. :huh:
huh?0 -
Ok sitting here at my desk I was reminded of another thing that drives me nuts. I hate it when people suck their teeth to clean them. Does anyone know what I mean?
My parents were really strict when it came to table manners. So bad table manners really really bothers me.
Oh one more. When people use the word ignorant when they really mean rude.0 -
Maybe this is an Appalachian thing. I really struggle not to kill when someone uses "seen" when they meant "saw".
"I took Marge to the mall last night, and we seen that new Tom Hanks movie, and it was pretty good".
,,,,,,,,,,,,,"No dimbulb,,, you took Marge to the mall last night, and you SAW the movie alone, 'cause Marge snuck away from your ignorant *kitten* to spend some time with somebody who speaks english!".
Ignorant - not rude. Though you can be both.

like instead of typing out provider every time, we (as a COMPANY) use "prv
Hahahaha :laugh: :laugh:
SHORTHAND: Clld prv today. Cnfmd prv.
TRANSLATION: Yup, I called the perv and sure enough he confirmed he was a pervert.
LMAO!!! I know a few I could call right now, but I doubt I'd get the confirmation. :ohwell:
Oh ya,,, I love stuff like that. We have a database here that we handle info in, an MS access thing, called "WOCWAD". We pronounce it "Wock-Wad",,, no kidding. I was not a big fan of "Friends" - but whenever this comes up I think about Chandler working on his "Wenus" and giggle.

It was WENUS and *kitten*...Weekly Estimated Net Usage System and Annual Net Usage System...Don't ask why I remember that. :laugh:0 -

If you play on the boards enough, you'll see people who start a thread with something controversial. They get lots of responses, either from outrage or concern, but the original poster never comes back.
Of the ones I've seen (and I'm not trying to call anyone out, these just come to mind), they seem to talk about how a significant other treats them very badly, or how they almost promote an eating disorder, or they use to even start a political/religious debate. They drop "bombs", we all seem to get sucked in, but the original poster never comes back to the conversation.0 -

Yes.
Ignorant = not knowing any better, but not caring to know better either
Rude = knowing better, but not caring to act right

To her defense, young girls especially like to make everything inclusive. By saying they are related or just like their friends (or whomever), they feel like it creates a warm, welcome environment. This is often why young children will chime in with a "me too" when you say you like or dislike something. It gives them a sense of belonging.
Not to say it isn't annoying.

Oh jeez, here's my laundry list:
1. Being a waitress, I loathe those people who leave what we call a "verbal tip". "Oh the food was so great, the service was awesome...we loved everything!" Then they leave me 10%. Thanks. I'd rather you tell me I suck and leave me a decent tip. I can't say to my landlord "This place is so great, I love living here, you're an amazing landlord...here's only half my rent!" Doesn't work that way.
I can't tell you all the pet peeves that stem from my waitressing career! I have so many comments written on napkins about how amazing I was as their server and then they leave 10% or sometimes even nothing! Or when someone fills out a comment card (we gave these to every table) and they write that they wish they had more BBQ sauce... but they never asked for any! I was usually pretty good at reading customer's minds when it came to knowing when to bring to-go boxes/drinks/desserts etc. but if you want extra sauce for your ribs, just ask!
Oh I have many, many more just from being a waitress for 15 years!
If you're too busy talking on your cell phone when you should be ordering, the same amount of minutes you made ME wait, I'll make you wait that many minutes AFTER you hang up to go back to your table to try to take the order. If you say something about it, I'll smile sweetly and say "Oh, I'm so sorry, I thought you were STILL on the phone."
In addition to 'seen' instead of 'saw', I hate 'on accident' instead of 'by accident' and don't even get me STARTED on 'supposably'!0 -
Speaking of cell phones... My Pet Peeve is people who get in their car. Then make a call, and THEN START THE CAR AND START DRIVING! :mad:
HANG UP AND DRIVE - BEFORE YOU KILL SOMEONE!!! :explode:
Or, make your call, complete your call, then start the car and drive, please!

wow...I work for an hour and I miss all those posts!
as far as the "I'm related to everyone" thing....I had a friend in high school who would not pass a chance to bring up that Val Kilmer is her mom's cousin's cousin....or something like that. It got on my NERVES.
If they are so far extended family that you've NEVER met, not even at that huge family reunion they had years ago, then it doesn't count.
Now, I do find it interesting that my husband is distantly related to Kelly Pickler. Somewhere down his grandfather's brother's family tree limb (or something like that). They were both at a family reunion one time LONG ago. lol0 -
Who's Kelly Pickler? :laugh:0
-
She's a country music artist! She's pretty good...she seems really sweet and she does a lot of stuff for the troops. Ok in my book!0

IT departments that send you to level 2,3,4 and they all do the same thing and tell you the computer is fixed.
Ok if it is fixed WHY WON'T IT WORK!!
whew, I feel better now:blushing:0 -

I got in my car, started it(So Fla so hot as h e double toothpicks) made a call (I work on the road) and a car who wanted my spot sat on their horn. Not beep beep.....but beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
Do I owe them this spot? Are the other 100 spaces not good enough?
I wanted to jump out and start a fight. Instead I turned off my car. Grabbed my handbag and went into the shoe store.
THAT made me feel better!!!

I just get out of the car and start walking toward them. Done it a couple times - haven't made it to the driver's door yet. :bigsmile:0

I used to manage an IT department. I made it our policy that our Help Desk and Trainers who take a turn at walkaround support. We would visit anyone who had called in a problem or attended a class to ensure that their problem had been correctly fixed and/or any questions they had thought of after class or while working with the new software were answered. I retired from that job when a reorganization gave us a new boss in another city who said: "We don't do that here, so you're not going to either." No wonder IT gets poor marks. I'm sorry, Jeannie, that you've had that experience. Customer Service should come first.0 -

Hey, I'm glad you didn't give up your spot to the hornblower. I'd have completed my call, with the engine and a/c running, (I assume that's why you had started the car) then left. Let him sit there and fume! And I'm glad you didn't try to talk and drive! That's what I meant as my pet peeve. I'd much rather see a person talking on a cell phone with the car sitting still than with it moving. I'm now in Law Enforcement IT and have retrieved data for our accident guys on accidents where a cellphone was involved. It is definitely an unnecessary hazard that can easily be avoided.0 -
BTW Jeannie, nice "guns" in your ticker! Looks like you've been working with the dumbells (literally - not figuratively) :laugh: 0

going to a restaurant and seeing a family eating together only the kids are playing their Nintendos while eating. why did you even bring them to the restaurant?0
-
oh, and motorcyclists (usually men under the age of 25) doing wheelies down the highway. IDIOTS!0

It drives me up a wall when parents let kids act like savages in restaurants. They dump everything all over the table and the floor, they have no manners and the parents let them run the show. They even try to boss me around! Oh I don't think so, you might be able to act that way to your parents but you're not acting like that to me!
When you're on a single lane road, and someone is behind you, DO THE SPEED LIMIT, please, or pull over and let me pass you! There's a road around here that is 60 mph, and people will be on there doing like 45 mph. Actually, I find that to be pretty common all over Texas. I know "y'all" are laid back and more relaxed here, but don't you ever want to get to where you're going? I think Texas ought to set a speed MINIMUM law. I'm sure driving too slowly can cause as many accidents as driving too fast. If I'm tooling along on the highway at 60-65 mph, and you merge in front of me at 45-50 mph, there's a good chnce I might just smash into you. :explode:0 -
Lifelong motorcyclist - certified Motorcycle Safety Instructor. Gotta agree with you. That stuff's fun off highway, but stunting on the street is illegal and stupid. It endangers civilians, attracts unwanted attention and p!sses people off. Bad bad juju.oh, and motorcyclists (usually men under the age of 25) doing wheelies down the highway. IDIOTS!
The people in the cages don't understand us or like us very much anyways,,, let's not make it worse. 0 -

I think the fact that I ride makes me even more mad at them. I'm a safety sucker - full face helmet and all. I am a strong proponent of an age limit of 25 yrs for motorcycle license. it would weed out a few of the idiots anyway.0 -

About a month ago, I was on my way home, and as I'm coming down my street I see a motorcycle all smashed up, a helmet over here, a glove over there...I get around the bend in the road, and I see cop cars, and a guy sitting on the ground, handcuffed, blood all over his face! I'm guessing by the handcuffs he was drunk (even though it was about 1 pm). It was pretty gross,0 -
I'm a riding instructor, and I've trained 16 year olds that I would pack behind, and I've trained 50 year olds who really shouldn't be allowed to walk without supervision. Stupidity has no age limit. The majority of crashes and fatalities are cruiser riders in their 40's, riding biker TT (Tavern to Tavern).Lifelong motorcyclist - certified Motorcycle Safety Instructor. Gotta agree with you.

I once met a guy who bragged that he'd never dropped his bike (something most people do and actually it's sort of a milestone you have to get past when you first start riding) except one time when he was drunk and stopped for gas he forgot to put the kickstand down before he got off the bike.
When people tell me things like that I think, WHY would you EVER tell anyone that you are that big of an idiot??0 -
Nothing ticks me off like seeing someone on a crotch rocket going a million miles per hour down the highway weaving in and out of cars popping wheelies. It's just a recipe for disaster.oh, and motorcyclists (usually men under the age of 25) doing wheelies down the highway. IDIOTS!0
