Pet Peeves

Not earth shattering or anything just those teeny tiny things that have you getting your grrr on. Today mine is toilet paper that won't start. I mean come on, there has to be a happy medium between rolling off the roll and being cemented on.

What little thing has tweaked your grrr lately?

Books that have not been proofread properly.

Rude people have been setting me off! Didn't your Mama teach you any manners? That and my 3 teenage boys shoes all over the place!

**Russ** · 07-12-2010, 07:52 AM

people that do UNDER the speed limit on the highway, but OVER the limit through town. What's up with that?

Hey Russ, how about the people stopping on the merge ramp!

My pet peeve for today: My client (single) has a 7 pillows on his king size bed. I launder his bed linens every 2 weeks. Looks beautiful but... one of the pillow cases was cut on the bias and it is a PITA to change and square off. So one pillow always looks twisted and out of place.

They say when visiting another country to observe the
"3 C's":
1. Don't Compare
2. Don't Complain
3. Don't Criticize.

I'm usually pretty good about this, but my pet peeve is having to inhale all the cigarette smoke while I'm in Germany right now.

Hehe, just a few weeks ago I basically was behind this guy for a few miles on the interstate because I could NOT get over without missing my exit. We got off at the same exit, driving to the same town. The speed limit on the interstate was 70, followed by a county road with a limit of 55, then through town where it goes from 35 to 25...and I was behind him the WHOLE way. And the WHOLE way he kept a constant speed of 50mph, hehe. I was really hoping he'd get pulled over in the 25mph zone because here, that would be considered reckless driving and carry even a heftier fine than just speeding.

But my pet peeve for the day: MY MOTHER and her laundry habits. Even though I usually do all the laundry, she decided SHE was going to, since I wasn't getting it done fast enough for her. She throws in my black tops and pants with fuzzy white towels, and then just randomly pours in detergent without measuring. She also pours the detergent in AFTER the clothes. Ugh, I could go on, but I need a deep breath, lol.

children who will look you in the face and lie. children who are disrespectful to adults. children who will not obey anything!
You love them with all your heart, but you don't like the way they treat you.

People in pairs or groups who insist on taking up the entire aisle in the store when they can see that someone else needs to get past them.

**Neeley** · 07-12-2010, 09:40 AM

People who cannot follow simple etiquette rules.
1)Do not call a home before 9am or after 9pm
2)Say "Thank you", "Please", and "You're welcome".
3)Always place your napkin in your lap when you eat.
4)Chew with your mouth closed.
And so on and so forth.

It absolutely drives me nuts for someone to blow their nose in a public place, especially a restaurant. I don't care to hear you relieve yourself of your snot while I eat. Then you open your napkin and look at what came out. GROSS!!! Take your nose blowing and snot looking activities to the restroom.

That two year old at Panera Bread on Saturday who had a very high pitched squeal/scream. Her parents thought it was funny for her to continuously squeal/scream and just laughed and laughed at her while the rest of us suffered permanent hearing loss.

There are plenty of others, but these are just the ones on my mind this morning.

Ugh. This is a big one for me. I HATE shopping. I try to zoom through the store, and get what's on my list and get out of there.

These 'browsers' drive me nuts. When I am going to look at stuff on a shelf, I pull my cart WAY over and tuck my a$$ in. WHY do some people feel so entitled to the whole aisle?? And then they stand there and look at you trying to figure out why you're looking at THEM?

SIMPLE question work emails that just get opened and not answered.

example:
Dan, did you get you X-rays done?

it would take the guy 3 seconds to answer yes or no. but he just opened it and deleted it.
