Pet peeves and petty annoyances

Tardiness
Lately, though, its people who share things on Facebook that are absolute lies/hoaxes/falsehoods/outdated (by outdated, I mean circulating posters for missing kids that were found five years ago, etc). Snopes, people, know it, use it, love it...0 -
I despise children in movie theaters, unless it is a children's movie, in which case I still despise when little babies are in movie. I do not understand why a one year old has to be watching Man of Steel, or Pacific Rim and the like.
As for my many road pet peeves, the top of the list is not driving the speed limit. I drive the speed limit. So when people are flying passed me and stare at the passenger and I like we are driving backwards. I want to throw eggs at their car.0 -
People who act like twerking is new. I had a chick twerk on me when I was in hs.
Not everyone knows what it is. None of the people I hang around with know what it is and I had to Google it to find out because everyone was talking about it.
I didn't know, googled it and am now regretting it!0 -
Tardiness and not following through with a commitment are two BIG ones for me.
The other is the idiot drivers that literally stop in the middle of the road when they realize they've missed their turn. Heaven forbid, they drive to the next light/intersection and turn around. lol0 -

this might be dumb, but right now my biggest pet peeve is when people walk really big dogs that they can't control. If you can't control your large aggressive dog, walk them somewhere private or pay someone who can handle your large dog to walk for you!
Oh, and I hate when I stop to let someone cross at a crosswalk and other cars just go around me.0 -
I volunteer in EMS, and it irks me to no end when people don't pull the #$#^&@ over and come to a complete stop when I approach in an ambulance with lights and sirens. Especially on the highway, when traffic is at a standstill due to an accident up ahead. Do you REALLY think that inching up to the bumper of the car in front of you is going help me get past you? NO! I need you to pull off to the side! Yes, I know that will make you lose your "place in line" and the car behind will likely beat you in behind me, but imagine it's your teenage kid who just crashed up ahead. I need to get to them NOW.
My other (smaller) annoyance is when I pull over for an approaching ambulance, yet cars pass me like I'm pulling over for them. Grrrrrrrrr!0 -
Don't doubt it until you get the right one twerkin' on it.
There fixed it for you.0 -
- When I'm wearing headphones and people try to talk to me.
- A general lack of common sense.
- Know it all's/one uppers.
- Chewing with your mouth open.
- People who do nothing health/fitness related trying to give me advice on my lifestyle change.0 -
- When I'm wearing headphones and people try to talk to me.
I like coming up to people with headphones on and moving my lips like I'm talking to them, but then when they take off their headphones and try to ask me what I said, I look at them funny, and say... I'm on the phone.
The best part is when they realize a moment or so later that I'm not wearing a bluetooth.0 -
I work in a call center for health insurance. Our departments are compartmentalized. It irritates me to no end when:
People do not call the number on their card, do not enter their ID# before I get their call, and then get mad at me because I have to transfer them to the department that handles their benefits!
People who think they know all the ins and outs of their complex benefit plan and won't listen to the words that come out of my mouth.
People who jump to conclusions without getting all the facts.
There was a saying in my house growing up and I do abide by it. "DON'T THINK, KNOW FOR SURE!"0 -
ALSO, when I ask a question and instead of giving me a simple answer a person needs to go into their full medical history and all that ails them. Really, I just want you to answer my question because even though you think we have your full medical file or even need it, we don't.0

I've just developed a new one. If you're hosting a training seminar or something with both local and remote people, repeat local questions for the benefits of the remote people. I'm listening to this t-conf and people in the room are asking questions that us remote folks can't hear.
*ETA: At least this guy finally realized it and he's just started repeating questions before answering them. :drinker:0 -
People who make noise while eating and lick their fingers after eating chips. IT KILLS ME!!0
-
When people I live with EAT MY FOOD!!!!0

Cops that use their flashing lights to go through an intersection...then turn them off. Must smell a fresh batch of donuts.0
-
People who drive the wrong direction in a parking lot and then get mad at me because I'm in their way. How hard is it to read an arrow?
Drivers who speed up in a pedestrian crosswalk.
People who don't know how to park.
People who interrupt when I'm trying to talk to someone.
People who come to visit, or I go visit them, and they talk on the phone most of that time.0 -
1.) People who think they're Gods gift to the world.
2.) People who think they're never wrong.
3.) People who say they're going to do something and then don't.
4.) People who continue to lie to your face (instead of coming clean) when you ALREADY know they're lying.
5.) People who pass me when I'm doing THE SPEED LIMIT. It's the LIMIT for a f*%$ing REASON.
6.) People who complain about stupid **** (like dirty dishes or unwashed towels) but never seem to do anything.
7.) People who ask for your advice, yet never seem to ACTUALLY use it; in fact, they do the opposite of what you told them.
8.) People who cut in front of me only to turn 3 seconds later.
9.) People who drive up my f^&$ing *kitten* the whole time and barely stop themselves from gracing my bumper at the stop light. IS THAT REALLY GOING TO GET YOU WHERE YOU NEED TO GO ANY FASTER?! JESUS.
And finally:
10.) People who stick their noses in places where it doesn't concern them. G-T-F-O.0 -

- People who text constantly.
- People who text constantly while in my company - live in the moment!!!
- People who text constantly while driving.
- People who let their children sit at a bar in a restaurant
- People who post everything about their lives on facebook, including photos of their children in the bathtub (hello pedophilia)
- People who don't wipe down the machines at the gym.
- People who try to talk to me on the train when I have headphones on.
- People who bring their child to a $40-a-plate restaurant on a Saturday night at 8PM.
- People who drive 40mph in the fast lane and fail to understand why everyone is pulling around them.
- Bikers who think they own the entire road and that they have the right of way over cars, pedestrians, and anyone else.
- Generally, parents who have nothing better to do but talk about how awesome their kid is/ think their child should be exempt from every rule because of how "mature" they are.
- Consistently late people.
Jeez, that's a lot. I feel better :drinker: :drinker:0 -
That's actually called a code 2 response and it is a valid use of lights & sirens. Driving with lights & sirens dramatically increases the chance of accidents happening, so if a call does not need a response using them the entire way, a code 2 response calls for using them only to get around traffic or through a light.Cops that use their flashing lights to go through an intersection...then turn them off.

I understand what you are saying, but many times in my city they do it to get through a red light. They don't want to wait. Yesterday on my way home from work a ghost car put on his lights after getting off the hwy. Traffic was at a standstill as usual. He put his lights on, making people think there was an emergency, forcing them to try to move over where there really isn't any room. He almost scraped several cars trying to get through two lanes of packed traffic. When he got to the lights at the intersection he turned his flashing lights off and proceeded to go into the left turn lane, waiting with everyone else. It was obvious he was just trying to get ahead. Many times I see marked cars come up to a red light, they don't want to wait so they put on the lovely lights and as soon as they are through they turn them off and continue on their way at a normal speed. That is was ticks me off.0 -
people who chew with their mouth open
WINNER!
My # Pet Peeve....
Sometimes I literally have to remove myself from the situation. We were provided lips for a reason. Close them when you chew please!
The worst is when they chew and moan.0 -
Curious, what about the cops that drive 20+mph OVER the speed limit with reds/blues and no apparent call to respond to? Especially when they're from out-of-town (e.g. not this city/county, nor an adjacent one).

and I really dig watching them use that code 2 response to go to a starbucks. It's frickin' awesome.0 -

That would be against the law.
How do you know they don't have an emergency to respond to?0 -

Often not hard to find them, their licenses plates are unique letters/numbers....0 -
When my attempt to jaywalk actually takes longer than going down the street and crossing at the intersection.0
