pet peeve...

People asking when we are going to have children....I will let you know when it is your business....
People who say everyone should have children and so should you....I beg to differ... have you seen the world lately and No I would like my life the way it is...
The preacher texting ( posting updates to facebook, checking the latest scores for the game) at my dinner table after I fixed dinner ( of his choice ) while we are eating and talking.....grrrrrrr
okay I am done....
thank you who ever started this thread... I feel better already...0 -
Too many to mention but all are very small.
- I don't like the spelling and grammar on forums and in email. I have typos here and there and probably some errors too, but I actually check before writing something. (to - too - two -- your - you're - yore -- lose - loose)
- Wet towels and wash cloths left in a pile.
- I don't like waste but I'm a bit of a hoarder. I also don't like clutter. So I have a balance to try to maintain.
- Light switches should be up when on. I know I'm a bit anal about some things, this is just one.
- Don't complain about leaving the toilet seat up. You don't hear me complaining that I have to put it down. In fact I think the seat and the lid should both be down.
- I like to turn down the volume on the TV and stereo before turning it off. That way you don't get blasted when you turn it on.0 -
Texting or eating or reading or doing makeup, or <fill in the blank>. Yup, I've seen pretty much all of it.
Okay I'm guilty of this....but in my defense, sometimes I can't park close to a cart return and I can't leave 3 kids in the car alone. Any way on to my own peeve, slow drivers in the fast lane & people who text while driving ( which are usually one in the same drivers)When people leave shopping carts in parking lot of the grocery store. Is walking 50 feet to return it really that much trouble?
My pet peeve today is chewing gum, getting thirsty, taking a drink of water, and having that peice of gum lose it's flavor. What a waste! :laugh:0 -
People who post things on their status on Facebook like, "OMG, I can't believe this is happening" and you say, "what? What's going on? Is everything OK?" and they say, "I really don't want to talk about it." Why did you post it on facebook for all your "friends" to see????
Being woken up from a nap. I have actually yelled at people who wake me up. If I'm sleeping, why must you make noise????0 -
People who "try to commit suicide" (swallowing a cocktail of pills---which turned out to be vitamins, flintstone to be precise) and then call someone to tell them what they did... "Just calling to say I am committing suicide and to say bye"....Hello ???.............I know that might sound dark on my side....but if your going to do it....JUST DO IT and do it right and don't leave me something to clean up and don't give my father ANOTHER stroke ........If you want attention get a dog.
hope for your sake that she never actually does it.
won't you feel like a horrible bit ch for saying this.
what a sick thing to say about your own sister.0 -
WOW, :sick: OUCH:huh:
People who do stuff to just get attention ( it is called DRAMA) and they don't care about the consciences of their actions.... (ahem...my sister)......Which leads to another peeve....People who "try to commit suicide" (swallowing a cocktail of pills---which turned out to be vitamins, flintstone to be precise) and then call someone to tell them what they did... "Just calling to say I am committing suicide and to say bye"....Hello ???.............I know that might sound dark on my side....but if your going to do it....JUST DO IT and do it right and don't leave me something to clean up and don't give my father ANOTHER stroke ........If you want attention get a dog.
This makes me incredibly grateful for my Sisters, and terribly sad for your own Sister and for you as well and sick to my stomach all at the same time.
Lucky had a good point , in the case of the death of your Sister I have a feeling you may regret a few of the words you just shared but then again, after reading this, perhaps not:huh: :ohwell:
I cannot even imagine feeling this way in my heart about a loved one OR a stranger let alone saying it on a public forum. Forums can sure bring out some ugliness in folks :ohwell: :noway: faceless behind a screen we seem to think we can say what ever comes to mind.
Suicide in any form is a cry for help. I don't believe ppl do it as a hobby, I don't believe ppl do it as a game to play, some may do it for attention, but perhaps they need some attention in their life to make them feel they don't need to go to the extreme.:ohwell:
I see your user name is nurse??? whaaaaaaa??
ahh I think I'll stop here and head back to something more positive. I shoulda known better than peaking in a pet peeve thread. Learned another lesson tonight on MFP.:noway:0 -
I wouldn't call this a pet peeve exactly but I hate it when your paper shredder or electric pencil sharpener won't finish the job you have for it. You shred some paper but are only half done and it decides to over heat and shutdown for a while. The pencil sharpener does the same thing. The kids' handwriting is bad enough without having to do homework with a dull pencil. We need the Bindford 3000 Shredder/Pencil Sharpener.....aarrhh aarrhh aarrhh!0
-
I hate that too! It still bugs me even if they tell you what's wrong after you ask. If something is wrong, just spit it out — unless you really don't want to talk about it. In that cash, hush your mouth! It just screams "needy" to me, and it drives me nuts.People who post things on their status on Facebook like, "OMG, I can't believe this is happening" and you say, "what? What's going on? Is everything OK?" and they say, "I really don't want to talk about it." Why did you post it on facebook for all your "friends" to see????0 -
um...well, my pet peeve for today would be:
People who bad mouth others, within hearing distance, and wonder why you have issues with them. Seriously? Is it soooo hard to just shut it. I don't get mouthy about them, yet they insists after they mouth about me that I'm being the immature one by not standing and applauding every time they enter the room. Or run to them, gushing, and inquire about their stupid weekend/day/evening. Seriously?? I'm the immature one? Huh....Right.....:noway:
Also, people who say one thing, yet through their actions say another thing. Liers, manipulators, and people with zero accountability rock my nerves like none other.:explode:
(Oh and of course, bad drivers usually are near the top of my peeve list.)0 -
Also, another thing I cant STAND is that noise of when a knife and/or fork scrape across the plate. It is torture!
I thought I was the only person in the world who is bothered by this. Yes, I'm not alone!!!!! :laugh: :laugh:0 -
hmmm people who name their children ludicrous names. They have to spend a lifetime spelling and repeating it to people.
I've worked in some dental offices for kids and have seens some dooseys! Some of the names that stuck:
Crisscross
Cash Monet
Sir Frederick
DeLovely
Godsson
Blessed
Just to name the ones I can spell....
Awww!!! Those poor kids!!! I always had trouble with my name growing up....HATED it!!!:grumble: But now that I'm older, I think I've kinda become numb to it...unfortunately, I don't think those kids will ever get numb to how sad their names are. I vowed a long time ago, my kids would NOT go through what I went through. I mean, I'm all for having a uniquely you name, but not at the expense of torturing the kids or the others trying to pronounce it!:ohwell:0 -
Bubble gum on the sidewalk!0

People who wear tons and tons of cologne/perfume to a closed in place..........like a concert! I was trapped in my seat by a $120 ticket........with those little waves ~~~~ coming off the dudes head!
Mind if others care to breath dude?? :grumble:0 -

Paying $120 for a ticket for a seat at a concert and the person in front of you stands the whole time.0 -
Alright everyone list your biggest pet peeve. One of my big ones got triggered today so in order to avoid the rant on the person who triggered it I figured I'd post it on here. List yours too if you want.
Mine is spelling/grammar such as confusing your/you're, they're/there/their or lose/loose or in work email leaving out punctiation or capitalization. Nothing irks me more than a super long one sentence email that can mean different things based on where the missing punctuation should go.
Rant done... thanks!
Edit: I should point out the punctuation/capitalization only bothers me in formal stuff... Informal is fine for things like forums ;-)
Let's eat grandma.

I have a fun book on the shelf titled "Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation."0

There are a few men at work who wear so much that you can smell their cologne well after they leave my office. The cologne itself is not bad, but the point is to have a hint of scent when someone gets close. Not to crop dust my whole office!0 -
Owners that don't pick up after their dogs in the park!! Really?!? It caught you by surprise?!? Again?!? Bring a bag, people!!! :grumble:0

The extra fees that are always tacked onto the price of a concert ticket.
"Convenience charge" "Handling fee" "Order Processing Fee"
What a bunch of crap! Ticket prices are too high even without these ominous contributions!!
And, to add insult to injury, for the leasure of printing your own tickets at home:
- You save them money
- You save them paper
- You save them ink
- You save them envelopes
- You save them postage
- You save them an employee doing the work
YOU DO ALL OF THE WORK FOR THEM...
And you are still subject to these bogus expenses!!!!!
Why not put a tip jar on the counter or a place to submit an online gratuity...alms...bounty...contribution...donation...gift...............................?
To add to this... one of mine is paying for parking. I pay tons of money for a concert or sporting event, and then I have to pay another $10-$20 just to park! Drives me crazy!0 -

Oh and what about the $120 concert ticket?
?:explode: ? :mad: For crying out loud I only get to go once or twice a year because the crappy seats are $50-$75!!:grumble:
I didn't mind for this concert I would have paid more........great seats......Ok I wills start *****ing again, sorry I got all Mary Sunshine on you all.....:laugh: :laugh:0 -

I am so naive I thought the parking was included int eh $120!! (yes I printed my own ticket too!:grumble: )
I was taken by surprise and had 16 bux.......thank God I have an emergency bucket of change in my trunk due to my job. I had to give the poor kid $4 in quarters......he said it is all money....have FUN at the concert!!:drinker:0 -
OK: Really nasty one; people who change their kids in the parking lots at malls, grocery stores, Walmart, etc... and then just throw the diaper on the ground in the lot and leave! :grumble: Nasty, nasty people! :mad:
An concert tickets! Screw that! No one is worth $120.00 to see live in concert. :noway: Sorry, but that's my opinion!0 -
When I hurt myself, and as I am either bleeding or screaming or both, someone asks "Are you Okay?" UM.. NO!
The way people eat. DH is lucky I love him, or I would divorce him just so I wouldn't have to hear him chew. He does the eating where his mouth is partially open so he can breathe while eating. Blah, lol. At work it will be super quiet, then someone decides to eat chips. CRUNCH CRUNCH.
In the middle of telling a long story, someone comes in the room asking "ok wait start over"0 -
When I'm running through the mall for the bathroom with my newly potty trained 2 year old and a woman of average size with full mobility looks back at me and takes off for the handicap stall. It's hard enough for me to fit in a regular stall half the time, let alone with my daughter!
I know it's been said, but I just got home from running errands, people who can not drive the speed limit!0 -

James Taylor was.........and if I had known there was cafe seating for 1k I may have ended up divorced-cuz I woulda bought the ticket!! Takes 35 years to THAT much of a fan, donchaknow! 0 -
I am going to agree with a few here...
I HATE when people randomly show up at the door, because it is MY house, I like my privacy, and I might be sprawled out half naked on the couch and do not want my boyfriend's dad looking in the window as I do it! (the random guests are NEVER for me, always for him).
I HATE when my BOSS sends a memo and I find all the typos in it; and PLEASE learn the difference between except and accept!!!
I also agree with the dirty diapers on the ground, the slow-*kitten* drivers in the fast lane, and the AC cranking when it's cold out...
And to add a few of my own...
I HATE when my boyfriend leaves nasty filthy STINKY socks all over the house, and I HATE when he leaves his wet towel on MY side of the bed. I wish he would hang it up in the bathroom, but I would at least settle for on the floor...anything would be an improvement over having it on MY side of the bed....0 -
OMG sometimes my boyfriend does not rinse out the sink all the way after shaving, and I really want to hurt him. It is soooooo gross.0
-
Chewing with mouth open, constant sniffing instead of blowing nose.0
-
My pet peeve is seeing women who wear open toe heels that are too small for them. Please get a pair that fits and doesn't show your toes hanging on for dear like like a cliff hanger. have a nice day0
