    Duplicate threads

    There's nothing new under the sun.. or on MFP. . but that's okay! This stuff needs to be discussed by a new group of people. . and resurrecting old threads gets just as much grief. .

    I hate it when someone interrupts when someone else is talking. I also hate it when people talk on their cell phones on public transportation. Basically, if they talk loudly on public transportation. I hate it when people, including myself, aren't civil or merciful to others.

    When people sit on stairs. There are plenty of tables with chairs and benches, yet you choose to sit on the stair leading into the building. Those of us who use the stairs for their intended use have to walk around you!

    Co-workers that think pulling in the parking lot at 8 AM and walking in the door at 8:02 is on time, when starting time is 8 AM.
    After I clean house if the family is home, will look as though I did nothing with in an hour.
    Walking on my wet floor, can't you wait 10 minutes for it to dry. Now I say I am mopping, going once going twice, now you have to wait til its dry. Recently I got a steam mop, now the wait is much less.
    Guys who wear their pants down to their knees, I don't want to see your under garments, please pull them up.
    I have lost 45 lbs on MFP journey, when somebody says you have lost too much when I know in fact I have not, I look amazing and am within my healthy weight range. Instead of judging maybe they should join me on my road to success.

    Talking over the music I'd rather be listening to.

    1. People that refuse to use turn signals in their car.
    2. People that stand to close to me while having a conversation, worse yet is if they have a habit of spitting.
    3. Trying to hold a conversation with me while I'm doing something that I'm interested in (i.e. watching a show).
    4. People that don't flush, pee on seats, or are just generally nasty in public bathrooms simply because they don't have to clean it.
    5. Relying on someone else that I need information from or materials in order to do my job.
    6. People that refuse to get over to let others onto the road when they can easily do so or people that refuse to get out of the fast lane and hold up traffic.
    7. People that text while driving and weave all over the road.
    8. People that ride my bumper at high speeds on the freeway.
    9. People that complain about things that they can fix but refuse to do anything about it.

    -When people roll their eyes at me.
    -When I have to repeat myself.
    -When you open the door or hold the door for someone and they don't say thank you.
    -When my roommate sings loudly in her room and it can be heard all over the apartment. You are not Celine Dion. And quit with the damn vibrato!
    -When people talk on speaker phone, I don't need to hear your entire conversation.
    -When someone talks down to you, or acts like they are better than you.
    -Chewing with your mouth open.
    -People who don't watch their kids in public places, and they're running around like little a**holes.

    Speaking of pets, irresponsible pet owners are a big pet peeve! Leaving a dog in your yard 24-7, barking and neglected. Yeah, I HATE THAT!

    When people say one thing but do another
    Whistlers/hummers
    Condescending people
    Inconsiderate people who always expect you to get out of *their* way when walking
    When people ask for help and when you try to instruct them on how to do something while they're doing it, they don't listen to you and still do it their way (the definition of insanity)

    (Maybe I should head over to the irrationally angry thread. :))

    People that critize people's music taste.

    Music is simply suppose to make you feel something, your something is not my something and most people's something changes like the wind. Doesn't make your obsure German techno better than my cheesy 80s hair band.

    And don't confuse it by comparing musical talent. Completely different discussion. Bob Dylan versus Taylor Swift on sheer talent not even a contest.

    Doesn't mean I can't enjoy a side of fluff along with plate of genius everyday.

    Here are some of mine;


    My sheets and blankets on my bed have to be done just right if not a redo them. My fiance hates this.

    THIS!!!! I literally make my bed every morning before work just so it's straight. My sheet and blanket have to be aligned corner to corner. And I also fix it through the night. My hubby is one of those kinds who just ball up the blankets all around him and it drives me nuts! (maybe I am nuts haha)

    Big one of mine is when people choose to talk with their mouth full. Like literally when they start to eat THAT is the moment they choose to start talking about something. Like really???

    When people get a pet and don't bother to learn how to care for them

    Tailgaters (not the party-ers, the bad drivers),
    people who do circuits during prime time at the gym - especially when the squat rack is part of their circuit,
    pee on the toilet seat especially when I don't notice it until after I sit down,
    people who don't empty the sink strainer thingy when they do the dishes.

    I travel quite a lot, so many of mine are around this...people who STAND on the moveable walkway. It's supposed to help you get to your gate faster, it's not a ride at Disneyland. Same goes for the escalator unless you have a big bag. People who crowd the gate before their boarding number is called. People who stand right next to the baggage claim carousel, or if I'm standing back a little, those who stand RIGHT in front of me.

    Non travel pet peeves- people who leave the toilet seat up- it needs to be closed when not in use. People who tail gate me when I'm going the speed limit- it's not my fault you're running late. People who text you then before you can even respond, they are texting more. Using texting for a long conversation...can we talk live?? Any place, whether a doctor's office, hair stylist, that makes me wait when I'm on time because their previous client was late and they are accommodating them. Don't be late! Ok I feel better thanks.

    People who buy/adopt dogs because they are so cute without researching the breed. Then want to get rid of it because they are not used to the dog's natural temperament or what they were bred to do!

    I was rereading the thread and....you're actually kind of wrong. That stuff wasn't why she wasn't losing weight.

    Dirty or unclean toilets so if I go to someone's house and the bathroom and or the toilet are dirty I will just wash my hands and come back out.
    People who park in disabled spots that bugs me alot !
    When you have to moan at someone constantly to tidy up after themselves, dog owners who leave excrement on the ground and also smokers who just light up right beside you and blow it into your face.

    -people who trim their nails or shave IN the steam room at the gym
    -people talking DURING a fitness class
    -people texting while driving, hence not minding speed or dangers

    I won't even eat at the persons house if I see the bathrooms are nasty. Don't even offer me food or drink! No thank you!
    And I have been to someone's house that was filthy! I didn't even want to sit down.

    Bad grammar such as I seen that movie last week.

    Chewing with open mouth. Eating non finger food with fingers.

    Public bodily functions.

    People on line (at a store) who loudly complain and want to get into a conversation with me about whatever they're complaining about.

    Ignorance
