Share your general pet peeves

[KitchenWitch]

I hate when I go to a drive thru (sometimes my son's schedule does make it more convenient to do fast food) and they give me the change back with the coins on top of the bills....so all the coins go flying onto the ground...

I wish these places would TRAIN their people to put the coins in the hand FIRST, then the bills.

[BlueJazz]

1. Lately..This has happen to me a few times..>>

I drive down to the bank to use the ATM...I'm only going to get out 20 bucks ..Quickly...
There is a person or persons sitting in their car...They see me drive up...they get out of their car like a Rocket...dash up to the ATM and then proceed to "Fuck Around" for 10 minutes putting their checks in, getting money out ...looking at their balance and just generally being an inconsiderate prick.. AARRRGGG!

(You couldn't wait 20 seconds to let me get my cash?)

[Shell Beau]

2. I hate wrinkles on my clothes.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

3. Got a month? There are too many!

I'll choose one. I hate it when pedestrians know I'm waiting for them to cross the street and saunter lazily across. I'll be happy to run over them if that's what they're seeking! (just kidding)

[KitchenWitch]

4. That is a good one

along with crossing diagonally so it takes even longer.

[anarch]

6. speaking as a frequent pedestrian, please allow me to apologize

on behalf of pedestrians. That is just obnoxious!

On the other hand, one of my big pet peeves would be drivers who refuse to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks. Funny but true story: in dc they put up these weird, plastic "DC Law: Drivers must stop for Pedestrians" signs in a bunch of the crosswalks...and the signs all got run over!

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

7. That is funny!

[KitchenWitch]

8. We have some of those here as well

no one runs them over though

[SmokingJacket]

28. I'll stop if they have a foot in, but not if they're just standing there

on the sidewalk staring. It drives me crazy to stop and have them just look at me like they don't believe I'm actually stopping. So I don't.

Some places I've lived are pedestrian-aware, and I like that. But where I live now, the pedestrians don't think they have any rights at all...

[ghostsofgiants]

5. Guys who pop their collars

Every time I go to a bar or something, there are guys with their fucking collars popped looking like jackasses. Drives me insane.

[trof]

15. Please s'plain "popped collars".

I missed that one.
Thanks.

[ghostsofgiants]

19. ...

[SmokingJacket]

29. Yeah, that is so 10th grade.

Or Batman. Or whatever.

[bearfan454]

9. It pisses me off to no end if there isn't

a towel in the kitchen to dry my hands with. I get so pissed sometimes I will bring 5 or 6 towels in and hang them on the cabinet doors. I know it's stupid, but hey I want a towel there all the time no matter what. That's my pet peeve.

[Wcross]

23. Get a couple of dawgs.....

They will let you dry your hands on them- mine like it!

[MN ChimpH8R]

10. I've posted this one before

Hammerheads who step off escalators and STOP like there's no one behind them :grr::grr::grr:
Morans who run into elevator cars without allowing those in the car to get out first :grr::grr::grr:

[KitchenWitch]

11. ah, the common courtesy infractions

Those get me as well

How about the one where I open the door to exit a building and the person standing outside runs in the door, as if I was holding the door open for THEM...

[Darth_Kitten]

16. I thought I was the only one!!!!

I like the people who get off a bus, and then just stop in their tracks.

Uh, can you move at least a few more inches away from the bus? So others can get off the bus? :shrug:

What particularly galls me is when they have a cellphone glued to their ears. GET A LIFE ANNOYING PERSON!!!!! :mad:

[hatredisnotavalue]

12. Right at this minute,

it's Roberts' eyes. Could someone please, please get that guy some Visine. Or at the very least a viser or a pair of sunglasses.

[skygazer]

13. Driving pet peeves

People who pull into the fast lane to pass a semi, then slow down when they're right next to it. Sometimes they even put their brakes on - you can see the lights flash. To me, it makes sense to get past as quickly as safely possible - the worst place to be if something bad happened would be right next to it. And they end up pinning you there as well if you're behind them.

People who can't or won't merge. They refuse to adjust their speed so a merger can get into traffic and they slow way down on the ramp when they are merging and mess up everyone behind them.

People who don't use directionals.

People who don't keep a balanced speed but slow down and speed up.

[Wcross]

20. Oh- you hit it!

Driving home this past friday, an idiot was in the passing lane going slightly under the speed limit (70). I moved to the right lane to get by. As soon as I got abreast of him he decides he really wanted to go 80-90. (either that or he just didn't want me to pass him) Make up your mind.
Also, the people that slow down to 10mph under the limit if they see a trooper in the median. YOU WILL NOT GET EXTRA CREDIT/BROWNIE POINTS FOR DOING THAT!

[Wcross]

14. Ok- littering.

People littering. Is it too freaking difficult to find a trash can after you feed on that 2000 calorie fast food meal? Is it going to damage your car in any way to keep it inside a few minutes until you get to a can? Oh, somebody will pick it up???? That would be me. Asshole.
I am in the process of installing a video system up by the road. I am looking at a high end day/night with infared. I will be tapeing and I will be help the sherrif convict. (500 dollar fine + 10 days in jail max)
Yes, it is that bad. I have a half a mile of road frontage I try to keep clean and these pigs are persistent.

[KitchenWitch]

21. Do you consider cigarette butts to be litter - I do

I wish the cops would not look the other way at that...Put it out in your car's ashtray....

Anyone who has done an "Adopt a Highway" project knows what I am talking about...

[Wcross]

22. Anything out the window is litter. n/t

[Initech]

17. My biggest, be-all, end-all pet peeves (both driving related):

1. People who decorate their car with religious bumper stickers. Hey, I dont want to be hearing about how I'm going to hell while I'm going 3 1/2 miles per hour on Interstate 605 - THAT IS HELL!!!!

2. People who paint the backs of their cars with white paint and they usually read "GO *Insert team here*!" Or "GO *insert kids' names here*!" OR "GO!!! *insert kid's names here* *insert kids' jersey numbers here* *insert kid's team names here* REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS!!! GO!!!" Really, people who are this batshit crazy about their kids' sports teams need to chill the fuck out. I know where you can get some stuff to help you with that!

[ohiosmith]

18. Pets in general.

[Wcross]

24. Larry wants to know what you have against pets?

How about it pal?

[JimmyJazz]

25. The sound of someone scraping their teeth on a fork or spoon.

On edit: and being interrupted. Gawds, that pisses me off.

[Wcross]

31. How about mouth full of food talkers?

People that talk with food in their mouth? I can wait while you eat. Really. I don't mind.

[JimmyJazz]

26. Here's another: copycat threads when the hide the thread feature is

disabled :mad:

[Gregorian]

27. Insensitive people.

And all of the garbage that is strewn on the roadsides of Oregon.
When you ride a bike, it becomes way to obvious just how much crap people toss.

I've been told I'm too sensitive. There is not such thing. Only not sensitive enough.

Can you tell I'm really pissed off right now?

I just got back from a bike ride, and my neighbor has cut down an entire section of forest. I'm angry as all hell.

[mvd]

30. Mine

Bees, flies, and mosquitos
Music snobs
Rude and insensitive people
Really cheap people
Telemarketers
Tracking cookies (spyware, trojans, and viruses worse than pet peeves)
RIAA tactics

and more..

[democracyindanger]

32. Turn signals.

IS IT THAT HARD? USE YOUR FREAKIN' TURN SIGNALS!

[WindRavenX]

33. popped collars

In a way, I appreciate them because is is a sure fire sign that the person is a grade A asshole.

Elitist bastards.

[TroubleMan]

34. Cell phones...I hate cell phones....and slow drivers in the left lane

The left lane is for passing only. Don't drive in it if you're not passing.

[SeattleGirl]

35. Here's mine

*People who work in fast food places who cannot fill a simple order. Hey folks, this isn't rocket science, and no I'm not putting your job down, just they way you do it.

*Waiters, clerks, receptionists, etc. who act put-upon when you approach them, as if your presence annoys them.

*People who drive way under the speed limit when there's no earthly reason to do so.

*People who drive with the newspaper draped over the steering wheel so they can read it while driving 60-70 mph down the freeway.

*Parents with strollers the size of cadillacs running them into the backs of my legs. Hey folks, that's a stroller, not a battering ram!

*Women buying a lot of groceries, who wait until everything is totaled up, then the start digging through a purse the size of a steamer trunk to find their checkbook.

*People who sit at a blinking read light at a 3- or 4-way stop and don't take their turn. Hey folks, the light ain't gonna turn green any time this century.

Okay, I'll stop now. I'm sure I have a few dozen more I could post.

B-)

[hickman1937]

36. I am so sick of women in mini-vans or suv's, with

car seats in the back and a phone stuck to their ear speeding through the school zone because they can. When the rest of the traffic slows down to 30, they use it as an opportunity to pass everyone knowing that the cops aren't going to pull them over. Then a mile and a half later pull into the mall. I drive this every day on the way to work and they are the worst.

[chaska]

37. PUBLIC SPITTING. Hell, any kind of spitting.
