neighbors barfing at 3 in the morning in his yard after he spends all day drinking and screaming f..ck this and f--ck that.

Mine is that loud screeching alarm coming once a month as a test on all of our phone, tablets and computer. This is only a test.
What is yours? You can have more then one. I do. Now get out there and VENT

PS I am sorry sop, when I tried to fix a spelling error, my computer or the button I hit froze and I couldn't fix the post.The incident I decribed originally was about an evangelical neighbor who caught me as I walked Dolly. Out of the clear blue sky, she asked me who I was voting for. I told her. She called me a Cafeteria Catholic and did I know all the things they do babies. All the gory things she said. I told her about my abuse as a child and if my Father or brother raped me, I would have noproblem getting an abortion. In fact I would take the morning after pill. I pulled Dolly lease to continue the walk and she stood screaming if I was raped, God had a plan for me. Bitch, I had it with her, no covid, laying her hands on me that I would find good. I yelled where was God when I was being abused. Got up to face and screamed again==Where was your God when i was abused. I turned and yelled Doug Masturabtion is going to lose. Sanctimonious people and their holier then thou attitudes piss my off. End Vent So sorry this was long, But I take meds that give me tremors,and I have to keep making spelling changes,

2. GOOD FOR YOU stating that!

My peeve?
I have a neighbor that has a little dog that barks at leaves blowing by - ALL DAY LONG - not to mention people walking by all the time.
IT IS NOT the dog's fault - it's the idiot owner!!!

Are we allowed only one? I was gonna' mention people that never the 'passing lane' - even though they are the slowest of the bunch!
(but I won't be hoggish about this!).

[debm55]

3. And throwing their religious Beliefs down my throatI'm not saved, neighbor does this. Constantly

about abortion and all the gory details, Told her, coming from an abusive house with Mentally ill lFather and brother I would have no problems getting an abortion. One time, she said she would pray for me. Stupid me thought it was in her home in private. She comes over and lays her hands on me and prays. Stupid shit. Also, she would not get Covid shots, as in her words use parts of aborted babies. Nut. This might get thread locked, but when she asked again, I said who are you voting for Doug Mastrabation, and walked off with Dolly,

[debm55]

4. I changed the abortiion part to the post above--. She ignored me today.

I tried to edit somethibg and everything turned blue.I couldn't get the blue off,so my story about evangelical neighbor disappeared

[debm55]

28. Major embarassed my dog barks when a leaf or snowflake falls. But when that happens we bring her in.

She only does that when we let her out to do her business.

[MyOwnPeace]

42. DON'T be embarassed - it's not the dog's fault......

and you're doing a great caring job by tending to the dog when you respond to the barking!
THESE people leave the poor dog out there ALL day, terrorizing anybody that dares to walk by on their daily walk - even walking other dogs!!!

[debm55]

44. That's okay--get it out and vent

[demosincebirth]

5. Graffiti.

[debm55]

30. Good vent. I always see it on trains and overpasses. I noticed that Michael's Craft has the spray

paint behind a locked pane of glass. I lost a student to huffing but it could also be because of the graffiti

[hlthe2b]

6. Fireworks tossed literally feet from my front door. Totally oblivious to freaking out pets, hitting

a dry patch and starting a fire or just the rudeness factor of doing so literally feet from my or my neighbor's front doors.

Male voices in full-throated conversation at 3AM or so right outside my windows (from those coming home drunk and forgetting that their voices carry). It is beyond freaky especially since we are all alert for catalytic converter thieves.

[debm55]

26. Good vent. Do you notice the always aim the fireworks away from their own home?

[hlthe2b]

41. I don't think they are directing them towards me or my neighbor, just in the street, but waaay too

close as they goof off. A friend of mine lives on a cul-de-sac adjoining an open field and this is Colorado--wildfire risk is high--these firecrackers are illegal. Well, a few years ago the field did catch, but they, fortunately, got to it quickly. The entire neighborhood could have gone--just like the very eye-opening fire that destroyed nearly 1100 homes near Boulder (Louisville, Superior--the Marshall Fire) last December. That one taught me that ANYWHERE can succumb to grassfires/wildfires. So, I'm no longer sensitive to being the neighborhood scold nor am I unwilling to call the police on these a'holes if they get too irresponsible with their "fun." So, yeah, I've become my parents, I guess.

[Brother Buzz]

7. Right now, Christmas shit on displays in the stores weeks before that Thanksgiving thingy

[Iggo]

10. I went to buy a couple of bags of candy at Target...

…on the Wednesday before the Halloween Monday. They still had a ton of candy, but it had been moved to the side.

The shelves where the candy and Halloween decorations used to be were empty and pallets of Xmas stuff was ready to be put up. Five days before Halloween, up goes the Xmas shit.

So yeah. I hear ya.

[debm55]

25. It was 78 degrees the last two days in Pittsburgh. The last thing I'm thinking about is Christmas.

I pulled my summer stuff out of the storage box.

[debm55]

27. Good pet peeve, as I sit here in Western PA with all my windows open and wearing shorts

Temp 78

[PXR-5]

8. The non-stop

shooting of guns in our neighborhood.

Give it a rest, hour after hour, sometimes the damn windows shake, my dogs are freaking out!

[debm55]

9. Do you call the police? I did once, it was rapid fire. They came and went up in the woods to get the

person, Fire works they can't be bothered with.

[PXR-5]

12. I used to, but now

the police just tell me "To Mind My Own Business"!!!

They are all Trumpers, neighbours and police.

[debm55]

24. Good Vent. I tell them that I will report their non action to KDKA. They come, try it with your

radio or tv station. Worked for me with the gun. Not with the fireworks

[Skittles]

52. sorry

I would NOT live in an area where actually shooting guns is SOP

NO FUCKING WAY

[Lunabell]

11. Tailgating.

Especially when I'm going the speed limit or even over the speed limit. Yes, I brake check hard and then speed up so they don't hit me. Yeah, I know I shouldn't, but they deserve a scare and I can't help myself, lol.

[debm55]

16. I know and they are usually in those damn monster trucks.

[SoBlueInFL]

13. People voting against their best interests just to be racist, homophobic, r/o

misogynistic pricks.

[debm55]

17. Oh do you mean the Christians?

[wishstar]

14. 1:Trash thrown out of cars 2: cars going fast in 15 mph residential neighborhoods with pedestrians

[debm55]

21. Good pet peeve. I had one during Covid that spit out his window at me while I was walking Dolly, Now

people may vent about this but I walk on the wrong side of the road with traffic so if a turd wants to spit at me he'll more than likely will spit at his door. Vent off.

[ForgedCrank]

15. I can and

do put up with a lot, most things don't bother me and I have a pretty high tolerance for other people and their mis-steps. Lord knows I have my own at times.
But, when it becomes inconsiderate and most especially, repetitive, then I meet the end of my tolerance pretty quickly.
Right now, if I had a million dollars, I'd hand it over to any person who could lead me to the offices of those scam callers who ring my phone 8-10 times a day. I would do things I wouldn't necessarily be very proud of.

[debm55]

18. They started to use my area code 412 instead of the 888 which I didnt answer. using my own area code

Last edited Sun Nov 6, 2022, 11:26 PM - Edit history (1)

I am forced to answer. MAJOR Vent =you say hello 3 times and no one comes on. Times like this I wish I had a rotary phone. They make a loader sound when slammed down.

[3catwoman3]

29. Get a referee's whistle...

…and give it a good blast into your phone.

[debm55]

31. Good idea TY

[CTyankee]

19. republicans.

[debm55]

23. Yep. And those Republicans that will keep voting against themselves and too stupid to figure it out.

[frogmarch]

20. Annoying TV commercials

"Cranky Martha" on that Medicare supplement ad, to name one.

[debm55]

22. Vent on. the one with Reputation Defender used by companies to check out people. When the employer

says she has questions about his behavior, the guy goes bat shit off the wall. We always laugh and saw he needs Anger management classes. Guess what dude your response that someone said you had a bad reputation shows that you do. And guess what? what that reaction I wouldn't hire you. Duh

[debm55]

33. People who walk their dogs and don't clean up after them. Some of these dogs are big and the poop is

huge. Sometimes it's like walking through a mine field. Vent. please pick up after your dog does his business. Vent off.

[3catwoman3]

35. Seeing as my name is Martha, I find that one particularly...

…irritating. Oftener than not, it seems, that when a cranky old lady character is needed in a book, play, TV show, etc, she is “Martha” or “Aunt Martha.”

The worst example I ever saw of this was the back page of a medical journal way back when I was in nursing school in the early 1970s. A vinegar-faced old lady was sitting on a high wooden stool, scowling away. The ad was for Colace, and said, “Give Aunt Martha Colace in the AM for a BM in the PM.” Seriously?!

I’ve never liked my name, and things like this are part of why I don’t.

[debm55]

37. 3cat, If you could change your name what would it be? I don't think I ever saw the commercial for

the angry Martha.

[3catwoman3]

38. I would be Kathleen/Cathleen - probably with the K.

My 3Cat screen name gets me close.

Meet "angry Martha":

Could they possibly have made her any more obnoxious? I don't think so. Even the ridiculously over-sized glasses are annoying. I hope the actress was well paid.

[debm55]

39. I still have not seen that one, might be regional. I thought the suppliement was a rip of

[Laffy Kat]

32. This happens every night at work:

Patients sitting in the waiting room listening to their phones, or tablets, or whatever with the sound turned up. Why do we even have earbuds or headphones? No one seems to use them anymore. What makes them think that everyone else wants to listen to what they're listening to? Truly, it drives me nuts. I have never done that, nor would I, because it's rude.

OK, I vented, and it felt good.

[debm55]

34. Good for you! I was stuck behind a women at Walmart in a line of about 30 people and she had her

phone on speaker. I thought it was rude, so I started to talk to the person on the phone. You're right. I don't care what you did, who is breaking up with whoever or what you're making for dinner.

[3catwoman3]

36. Even not on speaker! I don't want to listen to...

…anyone else’s phone conversations, even just one side

I remember when Bluetooth devices first became common. I’d see all these people walking around talking to themselves, or so it seemed. It looked to me like they were having auditory hallucinations.

It took me a while to catch on.

[mnhtnbb]

40. Some great pet peeves on here.

I hate tailgating. People on their phones in a public place, like waiting areas or the train. Commercial television, especially insurance and drug ads. But the Republican, anti Democratic campaign ads have been the worst this year. How can anyone be stupid enough to believe any of them?

And just for good measure, I really can't stand people who chew gum so that you can hear it.

[debm55]

45. So true about the popping of gum.

The R's ads are terrible. I live in PA and the things they said about Fetterman were absolutly horrible.

[Mad_Dem_X]

43. Folks who don't put on their headlights in the dark and/or rain.

[debm55]

46. I agree. Glad that some cars have the automatic lights. It is very dangerous.

53. My car has automatic lights. Every car should have them, IMO.

[ailsagirl]

47. It would take me the better part of a year...

to even attempt to list mine. 🙄😵‍💫

[debm55]

48. More than one is fine. Vent away.

60. OK

Noisy neighbors!! 😡

[lpbk2713]

49. Camp LeJeune commercials.

I've seen one follow right after another before. There are several different lawyers/firms trying to make a buck off the victims of the contaminated water supply. Anyone who was harmed and engaged these predators would no doubt get a pittance compared to what the lawyer would get. One commercial is particularly annoying --- they repeat the 800 number four GD times at the end of the commercial.

[debm55]

50. My FIL was a Marine and stationed at Camp LeJeune. My husband called and was told he can't receive

any of the benefits unless he has one of the major illnesses. That makes sense but it is not what the commercial tells you. At least the ones I saw. I thought it had to do with the VA, but every lawyer is on a commercial. I wonder if they get a kick pack. ps my husbands family lived on base that.s why he called.

[XanaDUer2]

51. People who litter

Broke up with someone I saw litter

[debm55]

54. Was it while you were driving? or walking? There are so many trash containers on walking trails.

Good vent

[XanaDUer2]

55. He was driving.

Keep your trash in your car until you can dispose of it properly. He was an idiot narcissist.

[Rob in Htown]

56. Pet peeves

1. People who toss cigarette butts on the ground (or really any litter).
2. People who don't pick up after their dogs
3. People who drive giant trucks alone
4. People who vote Republican

[debm55]

57. good ones rob especially number 2

[Niagara]

58. I have plenty of pet peeves:

People who talk during a television show/movie without pausing.


People who don't wash their hands after using the restroom. (Yellow listed)


Horn honking on radio commercials/traffic reports. It's annoying.


Tailgaters. There is no reason to be that close while I'm driving the posted speed limit.


People who record concerts and share those videos. Nobody cares.


Inconsiderate neighbors.


Cleaning up after the previous shift caregiver. You're an adult, clean up after yourself.

[debm55]

59. Niagara, great pet peeves and on the spot
