Post a pet peeve you don't often rant about

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

I hate it when I'm ironing and I iron in wrinkles that didn't exist before. GRRRRRRRRRR!!

[Allenberg]

1. People who make a Tom Collins with sweet and sour.

Lazy assholes.

[Abelman]

2. The mispronunciation of the name "Illinois."

THE "S" IS SILENT YOU DUMB BASTARD!

[RevolutionaryActs]

6. ill a noise.

:evilgrin:

[Abelman]

13. No!

:spank:

[MissB]

12. It is? I had no idea.

[CornField]

20. Same folks who ask if I live close to "Dez Moinez"

[Skittles]

3. people leaving shopping carts in the parking lot

lazy f***ing ASSHOLES

[Zuni]

21. I hate that too

and most of the grocery stores actually have recipticles in the damn parking lot nowadays and they still leave them in the middle of the parking spaces

[unsavedtrash]

4. that everybody assumes I am straight and that

because I am white and from the south that I am a racist. I hate that. Oh, and hair on soap. :grr:

[Radio_Lady]

41. I have a solution to the hair on soap --

I can't see the hair on the soap unless I put on my glasses. Actually, except for the esthetics, hair on soap or even in food is not a hazard -- just disgusting.

[LynzM]

5. Saying 'axe' instead of 'ask'

No, you may not axe me something!

[Briarius]

11. If I'm pissed enough I might axe it!

:evilgrin:

[LynzM]

14. Punk!

Where's the smiley...

[Briarius]

16. wait, I thought we weren't going to do that in public any more

:evilgrin:

[LynzM]

18. Um...

Oh. Yeah. Oops. ;)

[AlCzervik]

7. people on their cell phones everywhere, but in line at the supermarket

makes me want to smack them upside the head. The cashier is ringing up their stuff and they're not even acknowledging him or her, thats just obnoxious.

[Yupster]

24. I was at Subway

and there were four high school girls at a booth near me and three of them were on cellphones.

I thought what was the sense of them having lunch together?

[Telly Savalas]

52. Maybe they were talking to each other

[truthbetold]

48. UGH I HATE THAT!!!

I'm a cashier and then the people expect me to talk quietly as to not interrupt their conversation and God help me if I ask them "credit or debit"!

:mad:

[kitkatrose]

8. The dumbasses who scream outside in the courtyard

when-the-hell-ever they want. Pieces of shit. :grr:

[Bok_Tukalo]

9. Getting popcorn kernels stuck between my teeth

Jesus! Do I have to take floss to the damn movies??!!

[The empressof all]

10. Whistling in public places

It just drives me up a frickin wall. I actually had to leave a restaurant last week cause some damn fool was sitting there whistling to himself.

I also can't stand when people wear hats indoors. If you are going to a restaurant or a theater take the damn hat off.

[yellowdogintexas]

19. were you in Cody Wyoming by any chance?

The whistler was probably my husband if you were! LOL
The man just can't resist whistling, and truthfully he doesn't actualy whistle in restaurants. The image just crossed my mind, that's all

[crispini]

15. cats vs. birds

:evilgrin:

[sparky_in_ma]

26. I'm too tired

you must spank yourself.:7

[CornField]

17. Friends that can't leave their home without make-up on

Trip to the salon, nature hike, bike ride, grocery shopping, whatever... it drives me nutty! (Of course, I'm sure I drive them nutty because I don't wear make-up when they think I should.)

[Radio_Lady]

36. I had two stepdaughters like you -- n o makeup.

But they also didn't do anything with their hair, no shaving either under their arms or their legs, and they never wore dresses. They only time I ever saw them dressed up or with any makeup was at their weddings.

I like makeup and wear it pretty much everywhere. I wear it swimming to protect my face and lips; I wear it to the hospital if I'm having treatment, and to the place where I volunteer -- with the blind, no less.

My stepdaughters said I sold out to Max Factor in the 1950's when I grew up. (I have no contact with either of them now that they are in their 40's so I don't know if they feel differently now.)

However, my biological daughter is a sales representative for a cosmetic company, Arbonne International. She doesn't wear make up all the time, but she is certainly enhanced when she goes out.

[hickman1937]

22. People who refuse to pronounce the ing on a word.

I'm not talking about southern people, but the people who say things like sleepeeen, or tryeeen, or goeeen. Its just lazy, and stupid. It really drives me nuts when an actor, or talking head does it. It's not colloquial, or even cute, just lazy, and stupid.

[Robeson]

32. What are you talkeeen 'bout??

...Sorry, it was just too easy!! :silly:

[hickman1937]

44. You're testeeen me, and I'll be watcheeen you.

:P :P :P

[Yupster]

23. People who spell a lot

as if it were one word. Seems like 90 % of the people can't remember that a lot is a lot of words.

[Bouncy Ball]

25. People who don't teach their kids not to interrupt someone

when they are talking. It drives me batty. It's NOT that hard to teach a kid not to interrupt. You DON'T have to be a mean bitch or bastard to do it. Just be consistent and tell them, as often as possible "please don't interrupt." And model the behavior, too.

I have had friends who let their kids interrupt us so much we could never EVER talk. EVER. It happened on the phone, too. I tell my daughter "unless you are bleeding, choking, vomiting, or otherwise dying, do NOT interrupt a phone call."

[foreigncorrespondent]

27. I have too many...

...to list. LOL

[Straight Shooter]

28. Barking dogs and screaming kids and blaring TVs or stereos.

Yes, I know it's a neighborhood and some noise is to be expected, but for cryin' out loud, you'd think those people would realize they're the only ones making the decibel-blasting noise in the neighborhood.

Thanks. I feel better. Sort of. Summer's coming, windows open, here we go again :eyes:

[Behind the Aegis]

30. CARS WITH BASS RADIOS!

There is NO reason to have the bass so damn loud that it rattles windows and displaces framed, hung pictures!

[Radio_Lady]

37. Much less what it will do to their hearing! They'll be deaf!

[lpbk2713]

35. My neighbors' dogs annoy the hell out of me.

The ones behind me. They have two terrier type dogs and they are forever yapping at one damn thing or another. I can't go in my own back yard without having to listen to them yapping at me. Thankfully they keep them in at night or I wouldn't get any sleep.

[Behind the Aegis]

29. honking horns

I hate when someone drives up to a house or, even worse, an apartment complex and proceed to honk the horn! Get out of the fucking car, you lazy piece of shit!

[ofrfxsk]

31. It's Misouree not Missoura! Dammit!!!!

That pisses me off to no end. There is no "A" in the last syllable so where the hell are you getting it? I really think the country-fied folks are just trying to get a rise out of those in the east of Missouri.

[KitchenWitch]

33. I hate it when the cashier is giving me change

and puts the coins on TOP of the bills.

[Radio_Lady]

39. My husband hates having his bills "BOXED" --

That means I have to have them with all the Presidents facing up in order:

$20, $10, $5, $1 -- then he folds them with the back of the ones showing and puts them in his money clip.

Hell, after 33 years, I've gotten used to it.

[RevolutionaryActs]

40. I hate it when people stalk me in the Lounge....

:o

;)

[KitchenWitch]

42. Hey who is stalking who?

:wtf:

:rofl:

[RevolutionaryActs]

45. IT's the badger... not us.

:rofl:

[Radio_Lady]

34. Solution to the IRONING of WRINKLES --

I gave up ironing (and gave away the iron itself) in the 1970's when permanent press clothes came into fashion. I had previously ironed everying, including my husband's underwear, during that marriage from 1963 to 1971.

I do use a small steamer to get out wrinkles in drapes or dresses. Works like a charm!

[Nicole]

38. people who call & ask "who is this"

What happened to announcing who you are & asking for whomever you want to speak to?

[Radio_Lady]

43. People who call and just say -- "Hi" --- expecting you to --

recognize them by their voice. I have two sons who do this, and I don't speak with them that frequently, either!

[Nicole]

47. that too

drives me nuts!

[Radio_Lady]

46. Another one -- people who raise their eyebrows when I tell them --

My 70-year-old husband and his 65-year-old wife (me) don't share a bedroom. We did for a while, but not now.

He doesn't go to bed until after midnight, then he snores and fidgets, awakens several times in the middle of the night, turns on the light, showers, reads a book, watches TV, and hates to get up in the early morning.

I go to bed earlier, listen to quiet music, usually in the dark or with candles on, sleep very well through the night, navigate with a flashlight and never turn on the light, and awaken early in the day.

This is the only society where people are expected to sleep in the same bed in the same room for all their married life. Barbaric and archaic!

[Behind the Aegis]

51. Good for you!

I never understood why people think you should have to sleep in the same bed if you are a couple! IF you can do it, great! But the whole idea of sleeping is to SLEEP! My partner and I have separate bedrooms, one reason is I am spoiled and like my "own space" time to time. The other reason is because I don't go to be until 4am to 6am in the morning. He has to get up around 7am. It is not fair to him. Plus he SNORES and I am a light sleeper. It doesn't mean we don't like to cuddle or love each other, but when it is bedtime, it is sleep time, anything else is counter-productive. I have no job, he is the sole provider and therefore, MUST get a good night's sleep 'cuz we needs the moneys! :)

[Wapsie B]

49. Hearing the word no

so many times throughout your working life, having been that you don't quite measure up then going to an employer sponsored motivational seminar where you're told that yes you can have it all. Am I the only one who sees the conflict here?

[Ladyhawk]

50. I "wash" my hands, but I hate it when people "warsh" their hands. nt

[tjwmason]

53. Who not whom, and less not fewer

I know that these are terribly minor points, but they grate with me to a ridiculous extent. The worst part is that most people consider me petty, but I can barely contain a slight grimace when the English language is abused in this manner.

Oh and when people can't pronounce the word lieutenant, it may not have an actual 'f' in there, but there damn well is one and the English language is packed full of pronunciation oddities. I'm going to stop now as this may simply turn into a broadside against every American pronunciation...

[Brewman_Jax]

54. Private school kids on public transportation

If the parents don't want to send their precious offspring to public school, why don't they kick out a few more dollars and have their own transport system? :shrug: Damned hypocrites!

[Brewman_Jax]

55. Since you asked...

People who use RW anecdotal talking points as fact, usually the first sign of freepers. :eyes:
Idiots distracted talking on their cell phones, and then cause an accident. :grr:
Prudes--they're offended by programming they were warned not to watch in the first place; and they're more offended that you weren't offended as well! :spank:
Ex-freepers--if they were that smart, they wouldn't have been freepers in the first place.
Badasses--they aren't so bad when get their flabby asses kicked. (That will NEVER be posted.) :rofl:

Hmmm, that's enough--for now. :evilgrin:

P.S. People who load their posts with smilie gifs--uh... :hide:

[Stinky The Clown]

56. On the on ramp when the asshole getting off wants to race you

I'm accelerating to get up to speed ...... he's decellerating to slow for the curve to get off. And he just has to get there before me.

I know its wrong, but I'll race him all right. So he misses his exit and I get to do the cloverleaf shuffle.
