Ok I have a few---
--People who assume I should be insanely overweight because I have 5 kids. I ALWAYS get the "Wow, you look really good for having 5 kids" comment when people find out how many kids I have, even at my heavier weight. Yes, I was/am overweight.. but that isn't the reason why.
--When people ask me if all my kids have the same father. YES people have asked me that. More than once or twice.0 -
... People going to the grocery stores with their children filthy
... People stating to the woman who are unable to have children, "Oh wow, I could never be happy without my children!"...what does that say about me, am I not happy?(I don't have children)... I choose to be happy and not miserable. Be careful watch you say...esp. on Mother's Day.
...People who say they don't like a certain food but never have tried it!
...People who allow their children to scream in a restaurant instead of taking them out so the rest of us can enjoy the meal we came and paid for.
I completly agree!

Pet Peeves:
• Biting your fork or spoon.
• Pissing on the toilet seat - IN THE WOMAN'S WASHROOM (happens at work all the fricking time)
• Treating a public sink like a bird bath then not cleaning up after yourself.
• Reality TV
• Your/You're, There/Their/They're, Lose/Loose
• Asking without actually trying to find the answer because you're too lazy to exercise your brain.
• Complaining about something totally within your control to change, but doing nothing to change it
• Excessive Political Correctness
ETA: Not using Turn signals or Headlights in dark grey, rainy weather. A$$HAT!0 -

Even with only three I got those same questions... WTF?!? Seriously? I want to ask if their parents were married when they had them.0 -

Right?? I want to shake them lol. You just don't do that! One time I just popped off with "Yeah but we don't know who all the mothers are" and walked away.0 -
LMAO! Good answer, MommaChocoLat0

• Junk/Spam Mail. It's especially infuriating when it's in print via the mail. What a waste!
• Unsolicited advice, especially from someone who is no position to be offering advice (which is nearly always).
• "Experts" whose training amounts to reading and comprehending about 45% of the Wikipedia entry on a subject.
• Pseudo-Intellectuals. I once had a guy ask "How does a woman as smart as you end up a Dominatrix?" I jokingly responded, "Well, I use 'Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis' as my safe word." "Oh, really? That was my favourite word in fourth grade." "Fourth grade, huh? Yeah, okay."
• What TheBaileyHunt said: Complaining about something totally within your control to change, but doing nothing to change it.
• Constant negativity. Whether it's in person or via consistently whiny status messages online... STAHP!0 -
I hate when someone asks me a question like "what movie are you watching" and i proceed to tell them, then they ask "oh what's that about?" then i start to tell them and it seems as if they are bored with me/not listening/ acting as if I AM the one who started the convo and i am wasting their time
Small talk is the worst0 -
My biggest pet peeve, by far, is when people chew with their mouth open, therefore making their chewing so freaking LOUD. It's gross.
Several of my family members, who I love dearly, chews with their mouths open, and I can hear them chewing loud and clear, even with my music on. It drives me nuts.0 -
I work retail so I have about a million but the main ones are people that like to go in the fitting room a nd leave the clothes they try on wadded in balls on the floor but hang the hangers on the hooks and people who seem to think I'm rainman and can spout prices (complete with tax) on a whim. Also women who have accidents in the fitting room and don't say anything leaving the nasty surprise behind. More than once ive reached down to pick up a garment from the floor only to find its urine soaked. Or worse. So disgusting.
I worked in a retail store for two years, I completely feel your pain about the fitting rooms/prices.0 -
I'm no bad azz but, I DO NOT put up with machine hogs. "I need to work in a set" or "Can I use that while you're texting?", normally works just fine. If there's any resistance, I'll just start wedging in on them saying, "I'll be done in a second". . . .0

Biggest pet peeve is people who say "all I did was give up soda and I lost 20lbs" when I'm at the freakin gym all the freakin time and it takes me 2 months to lose 5 freakin pounds! That kills me!0

The tilde - it's just a hyphen showing off
Goats in tap shoes -- it's a bit redundant, don't you think?
Jello - I refuse to chase food all over my plate0 -
Not fond of when my fiance smacks his food...it's unnerving.
Not one of my biggest, but something yesterday I experienced. I felt so bad for the girl working at JCP that I actually went through the dressing rooms and helped her clean them. It's prom season as I'm sure lots of you know, and I was going in yesterday to buy a few nice black shirts for an upcoming interview. Every. Single. Dressing room. Was covered in inside-out, balled up prom dresses strewn all over the place, hangers on the floor, clothes on the floor, on the bench, over the doors...it was awful. Most people were busy checking out customers and helping teens find dresses so there was one girl that had to clean it all out. After her third trip out of ONE dressing room I decided to clean up the one I was in and the one next to mine. I picked up the dresses, found all the hangers, put the dresses right side out and put them on their hangers and put them on the rack for her. She was so thankful I thought she was gonna cry lol.
Its like, seriously people, is prom like freaking tonight?! How ****ing hard is it to take your **** and put it back on the freaking hanger?! People make the argument "well, that's their job" but you know what, just because it's her job to clean the dressing room, does not mean it's her job to pick up after a bunch of lazy brats.0 -
It might be an Arkansas thing but seeing people who go to the store in their pajamas. can't you get dressed first before you go to the store.
people who talk on the cell phones in the store when you are right behind them in the check out line they are into talking and not paying attention and your like can't you leave your cell phone in your car.
Guilty of both and do not care even a little :smokin:
Actually I'll be on my phone but I go as quickly as possible because I hate being held up, so I don't do it to others.0 -
people that focus on the negative in life!0

People assume I'm either mean, a lesbian or both...just because of the way I look.
Its annoying that its 2013 and men and women all over the place are still expected to follow the standards that society has set for whats beautiful and what isn't.
You're damn right my head is shaved.
My husband thinks I'm beautiful and so do I.
Thats all that matters.0 -
Okay two more, people who try to walk in to public restrooms when the door is closed without knocking. Luckily I always lock the door, but who really just walks right in? This is a public restroom, not ya momma's house.
Distracted driving in general, but especially texting. Trust me, no one and nothing is that important that you have to put my life and every one else's life, including yours, in danger so you can say "lolllz i'll totes be there in a min". Before anyone says "I text while I drive all the time and I've never been in an accident" well yes. You've never been in one, yet. No one is invincible.0 -
People who have to mention that the food they just ate was organic.. You see it on the forum sometimes.. Like if someone is talking about fat.. someone will say something like "Oh I get all my fat from my morning organic egg and free range organic sausage"
People who tell you how disgusting the food you are eating is. UGH. If one more person tells me how disgusting my chiaseed lemonade looks I think I'll find out if it looks any better if with it dumped on his/her head.... don't even get me started on what people have said about my chicken salad with avocado subbed for mayonnaise.
People who assume that just because you're very obese that you must never leave the couch and give you advice like.. Well, maybe quit soda and walk for 10 minutes after dinner.... UH right.. UM, I do have issues with portion control, but soda ISN'T my problem an a 10 minute walk is a joke compared with the 5 mile hike I just got back from... even at 360 pounds I could be found on the hiking trail or out in the canoe or in a Zumba class.0 -

I think you look friendly and cute.. and not in a "hey you're cute and I think you're a lesbian" sort of way.0 -
Oh I have so many I don't know where to start! I think I must be the most judgemental person ever.
One I hate is when I am doing lengths in the FAST lane at the pool, some stupid person is in the wrong lane and blocking my way. They should be in the slow or family lanes. Whew! I do usually tell them, but CAN'T THEY READ!:explode:
Even worse is when TWO women decide to swim slowly down the lane chatting to each other. I swim straight through the middle of them. Why do they look surprised!
In fact, to be honest, it has so p****d me off that I don't go any more, which is a shame as I love it and I am good at it. The attendants should police the thing better.
i know the feeling... there's this couple at my gym who stand and mess about in the fast lane, there's a huge family lane for them to not swim in, and a member who was from another club in the chain ( seriously good-competition level) asked the lifeguard if she could have a word with them as they were not swimming-just standing there chatting.
the guard approached them and asked them really nicely if they were not going to swim to move to the family lane, bearing in mind she was probably about 17, and their response was " well where are we going to go?"
so this poor guy got stuck in the slow lane with me, doing 2 laps to my one and a somersault push-off at the end of each lap. i felt so sorry for him....those people are so rude- they're rarely actually doing any swimming and always in the fast lane!
rudeness, lies and poor manners really get on my nerves!0 -
When driving, and I need to get over, and I try to pass someone in the right hand lane to do it, and they just pace me so I can't get into the lane.0
-
When people don't say "thank you" when they should. :sad:
:grumble:
I make it a point to say "you're welcome" to them, in a genuine tone, with a smile on my face.0 -

Can you legally pass on the right, anyway?0 -

I mean if they are in the right, and I am in the left. LOL! Bad wording on my part!0 -
Door to door salespeople on a Sunday ..... Mother's Day! :grumble:0
