I hate it when someone keeps texting you yet has absolutely NOTHING to say! They start out the conversation by... "hey"... that is it... then you are the only that ever provides any substance to the conversation... you ask ALL the questions and are racking your brain trying to think of anything to say... and they only respond in one word answers, They don't even give you a sentence or heaven forbid a paragraph to go off of to respond...so you finally give up and quit texting them back... just to get another random... "hey where did you go...?" text 15 minutes later... Seriously Did everyone else just skip that part of kindergarten when you learned how to interact with others or at least learn enough social skills to carry on a normal conversation with other people?

Thats my pet peeve for the day... What is yours?

    Yes, I totally HATE that too. But even worse than texting is when people do that on the telephone!

    This may sound harsh but it drives me nuts when people work out and then eat crappy on a DAILY basis, junk food/crap food but they can't imagine why they aren't seeing a difference! I only say that because I know someone that is doing it but she can't get it through her head...not my problem I guess!

    Text them back and tell them it's not your job to entertain them....or you could call them and tell them the same thing.

    Skinny jeans. About 1% of the population actually looks good in them, but 50% wear those horrible things. They aren't flattering unless your a stick and it's just because they make you look bigger than you are.

    If one thing has always bugged the spit out of me, it’s some people’s blatant disregard for the “No Parking Fire Lane” area in front of stores. It drives me crazy when I see people just lurking there with the car running while they wait for someone to come out. This is what the parking lot is for people!

    My biggest pet peeve, which grows by the day, is the lack of respect for the English language. I am sick of seeing so many things misspelled, along with such poor sentence structure. Every day the amount of grammatical errors I see is growing! Frightening to think this is where our future is headed. TEXT SPEAK IS NOT PROPER ENGLISH! /end rant.

    My pet peeve is when you are in a super busy store or the mall and just trying to take care of business quickly. Then you get stuck behind a couple or a group and they just stop. Stop to talk or shuffle through bags or purses or whatever it is. C'mon. What if people did this on the road...there would be tons of accidents! If you need to stop and do something THEN MOVE OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE AISLE!!!!!!!

    Haha I totally agree!! if you want to "txt tlk" in a text then fine... but to purposely misspell words... when it doesn't even shorten the word at all just seems stupid to me... And have you ever noticed that People will type you a whole page and not put any paragraph breaks in the whole thing? lol

    This. And another classic one, especially around here: people who don't understand how an intersection with a 4-way stop sign works. You get two types of people who don't understand: the ones whose tiny little brains start smoking when they pull up to the stop because it's far too confusing and the ones who think that, because the car in front of them was at the sign first, they can pull right on through behind 'em. Seriously, it's not that difficult.

    You definitely don't want to see those people attempt to drive a rotary!

    those are the same people that get lost in a traffic circle, and don't signal right when I want to turn, so I assume they're coming straight through the intersection...man I hate that so much! The driver's in Edmonton SUCK!

    People driving so close to your bumper down the road..that drives me crazy! Sometimes they are so close it looks like you are towing them!! Really people...leave home earlier if you need to be somewhere that bad you risk your life and innocent drivers. If something was to run out in front of me and I had to brake I know most of us couldn't stop on a dime!! I usually drive about five miles over the speed limit so I'm not creeping along. Have respect for the life of others!

    My biggest pet peeve around driving is the absoutely huge number of people who text while driving. And it's usually not the teenagers, surprisingly.

    When I used to see people weaving and totally incapable of keeping a consistent speed, I assumed they were intoxicated. But no, these days it turns out that they are busy texting!

    Yes, yes, yes Atlantique. *claps* Not sure why they still allow cell phone use while one's vehicle's in motion in so many places. Crazy. Pure crazy.

    ... and one that fits the current theme: Some vehicles apparently have optional turn signals/blinkers/indicators. Those folks really must save a bundle on not having them installed.

    @MissOutandAbout:

    I downloaded a free app on my phone that will send out an auto-reply when I'm driving. I customized the message to say that I am driving and will respond later. So far, no one's been upset to get the auto-reply. :wink:

    When somebody says they hate something somebody else is doing...then does it themselves a few minutes later.

    Example.
    I was with a friend, we had to be somewhere very important, and he's furious because the car in front of us is driving really slow, and pointing something out to his passenger.
    It was annoying, I agree.
    But then on the way home, he did the same thing. We had a huge line of traffic behind us, and he was driving ten miles under the speed limit, pointing things out.
    I know people who do things like that ALL the time. Drives me up the wall.

    I get annoyed when people slow down incredibly slow to make a right handed turn and THEY DON'T MERGE next to the curb. they'll sit in the middle of the lane, almost slowing to a stop, to make a wide-swinging turn! The only people who NEED to do that are truck drivers, 16-18 wheels.
    Most people have only four, so I shouldn't see it as much as I do~GYA!
