    LOL - I relate to sooooooo many of these! My biggest pet peeve is inappropriate use of turn signals. Is it really rocket science??? Either people don't use them at all or they drive down the street for 5 miles with their turn signal patiently blinking waiting for them to actually turn. The worst is when the person just drove 2 miles down Main St with their turn signal on then they turn it off and 1 block later turn. Arrrrrgh.

    *geez - guess that really gets me! LOL

    Oh, and when my daughter messes with the setting on the fridge and I have to throw out food either because it was too warm and spoiled quicker than it should or she cranked it up and they froze. Totally p*sses me off!! Daddy usually gets hollered at for not watching her more closely when I'm at work . . .

    hooo.. here i go !

    people reclining their seat in an airplane, i dont recline mine out of respect for the person behind me so i get squish, i then start pushing my knees up the seat ... oupsss...lol

    I thought I was one of the only people who thought that it was incredibly rude to recline your seat. Everyone says "Well that's what they are there for!" I'm sorry, but I personally don't enjoy having a stranger in my lap through a 6 hour plane ride. I also don't enjoy trying to get out of my seat with their seat in my lap! Airplane seats are small enough as it is!

    I also HATE when people feel that they have to come to a complete stop to make a right hand turn (like into a parking lot)

    When people pull out in front of you and don't know how to press the accelerator!

    Being put on hold

    People who do not take care of their animals.

    Arrogance

    I could go on and on but then I'll just be in a bad mood!

    Here's another one. People who get on the Metro bus at the bus stop before letting passengers get off. :angry:

    stupid people
    slow drivers in the fast lane
    people who act as though the world owes them

    Young people, especially males and men (oh well, it's my old school upbringing) who won't give their seat on the bus for their elder or for a female who has to stand. My son knows better than to not offer his seat.

    Yes I'm sure I'll get slammed over that. :ohwell:

    NO slam here. You are absolutely right. Hey all you other guys out there. Let's prove to these ladies that chivalry is NOT dead. I've been married to my wife for 23 years. She's still the most beautiful woman on earth to me. I always open her car door, seat her at restaurants, and make sure that I treat all women like they were my sister, mom, aunt, granny....You guys up for the challenge?

    Thank you Cowboy. When I first started dating my late boyfriend he made it very clear to me on our first date that I wasn't to open doors, that was his job. He told me "chivalry is not dead". God bless him. I miss him so much. :cry:

    ~Slow people in the FAST lane.
    ~Impatient people (is that like the opposite of the 1st one? What an oxymoron--> me).
    ~People that tempt you into eating bad foods when they know you're on a diet, but they ask you anyway....and they too are on a diet. It's like it makes it better for them if you cheat too. There is a girl that I work with that does this ALL THE TIME. It's annoying. I've been really good tho...:bigsmile:
    ~People who stare....especially when I'm eating.:tongue:

    That woman in my spin class who text messages the whole time.

    Anyone on a quiet subway car or bus that is blabbing on their cellphone.

    People who post on boards or write emails IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. I want them to please stop yelling at me. Thank you.

    "Free range children" whose parents let them run all over the place in Starbucks. My coffee is hot, and I really don't want to scald your precious little snowflake because you're not controlling them. (this is huge in my neighborhood)

    98 pound "Gym Bunnies" . They walk in wearing little more than a bikini, with overly processed hair (usually blonde with streals) have spent ENTIRELY too much time in the tanning bed, and have on full make-up. I'd forgive all of that, but they walk around waiting for someone to notice them, seldom actually work out, and never break a sweat. I try everytime to have kind and generous thoughts, but it just

    Drives me CRAZY!

    Drivers who make a turn in front of me when the green light and the walk signal comes on. I already don't have enough time to cross the street before the don't walk signal starts flashing then I have to wait for the stupid, inconsiderate driver to make the turn so I can walk across the street on a flashing don't walk signal. :angry:

    Young people, especially males and men (oh well, it's my old school upbringing) who won't give their seat on the bus for their elder or for a female who has to stand. My son knows better than to not offer his seat.

    Yes I'm sure I'll get slammed over that. :ohwell:


    I'm with you on that. My mom brought my brothers up the same way.:flowerforyou:

    No, Virginia. If you've got them in Texas than they've been multiplying and migrating.

    OMG, I am laughing so hard, especially at the crickets line....

    Anyway, I love the person who called the run-amok kids "precious little snowflakes." I agree that people think way too much of their kids. Like when someone brings their kid to your house, the kid starts destroying something, and they say, "Awww, isn't that cute?" Or like someone else said, when a kid crawls all over you, wipes their hands and nose on you, and THEN the mother mentions that they have some sort of eye bugger problem and they might have a eye infection or fungus or something. YUCK, get off of me, vile creature!

    Oh, and I have a baby too, so it's not like I'm against kids. Just parents who don't think. Like I don't take her baby-inappropriate places, and I warn people BEFORE they come over if she has some sort of catchable condition. I wish people would warn ME before they come over with colds, but that is a whole different story....

    :mad: I hate it when:mad:

    I order my food and then get asked "would you like a hot apple pie with that"? Hell no...If I had wanted one I would have ordered one.

    people let their children run around in restaurants and don't even bother to tell them to sit down.

    someone coming from the wrong direction zips into the parking space I am about to park in.

    people blow their noses while I am trying to eat.

    The ones who let their little darlings do whatever they want and get mad when your mommy instincts go on overdrive and you dare to correct them. Case in point the boy who was grabbing my son and trying to bite him at the park and mommy dearest just sat watching. After asking him to keep his hands to himself and him trying again, I left. But yeah, they let them breed why?
