pet peeves

[josephga]

I was 6'4 190lbs for years, now I'm 6'4 and 210. I know its hard to tell a 20lb weight gain on someone my height but I hate caring the extra 20lbs around

I gained that extra 20lbs over the last 8 months. And need to get rid of it b4 it turns into a extra 40lbs

I must have the most cluttered mind in existence.

 

Best regards,

I knew there was something I liked about you

Peeves

 

1) Brash, loud, whiney, hyper children on long flights wkith their ignorant parents.... wish they had special seating area in sound-proof part of plane!!!

2) Drivers who -- despite ALL the laws and proof of accidents -- still insist on driving while chatting away on cell phones -- making you very scared and stressed as they weave in and out around you.

3) Checking in to ANY Las Vegas hotel -- standing on a line for nearly an hour while some numb-nuts keeps the desk person overly occupied with inane questions about free coupons etc... (ugh never again will I stay at TREASURE ISLAND!!!!)

4) People who go to (you fill it in...) theatre, movie, concert... and then talk out loud throughout, or comment like a bunch of dim wits throughout (just sat in front of some yahoos from Lord knows where, who went on for 90 minutes oif a "Cirque du Soleil" production shouting, "mama do you BELIEVE that!" "Howdie ho, how did they DO that?" etc... 90 fucking minutes of this jackass and his son (40-ish and 20-ish must have just gotten out of a special centre...)

5) Trying to redeem Frequent Flier mileage and then discover it will still cost you a few hundred dollars... (see another thread about DELTA)

6) Messy cars -- and the embarrassment when you have to sit in one, and hey can't seem to find a place to dump all the junk on the front seat.... (and while I am at it, people leaving the passanger front seat in 45-degree recline position!!!!)

7) Commuters on trains who are ignorant boobs and carry on LOUD and LONG cell conversations that NO ONE else wants to hear. Is their life SOOOOO impolrtant that they cannot turn off the cell for the 30-45 minutes train ride??? How did we all survive pre-mobile phone era?????

8) Commuters on trains who (OK -- I commute!!!!) sit in a train car and SCREAM a conversation so that everyone else in the car - wanting to or not - HAS to listen. Geez is their life so vapid they must share it with complete strangers????

9) Trying to buy upscale underwear in MACY's while watching some kinky lady open and fondle nearly every box of Calvin Kline's, finger them, mash them in her sweaty hand and then restuff them in the box -- ewewew.....

Overuse of certain words and/or phrases--either in person or on TV/Radio:

These make me see "red":

 

Icon or Iconic---look it up sometime, PLEASE?

Actually

Apps

 

The list could go on and I suspect others can add their favourites.

 

A few more "peeves"

 

When driving, not using the turn signal---or turning it on as the vehicle is turning

Judgemental remarks made "sotto voce"---ex: "use sunblock", "don't eat any more" "no one wears THAT any more." "old fart" "control that brat"

 

Thanks for starting this thread---gave me a chance to "vent.'

I know this is incredibly immature, but whenever someone tells me they stayed at Treasure Island, I always have to suppress a giggle because the first thing that "treasure island" brings to mind is the gay porn site. It would be great if THAT treasure island ran a hotel somewhere...

I'm thinking about getting this and bringing it with me to every movie I attend:

wow a good listing of pet peeves....

 

this is mine

 

"People who wet the entire sink at a bathroom and don't dry it up"

 

I mean what are people doing at a sink where there is water splashed all over the place in puddles? Water goes from the faucet over your hands, and in the basin and down the drain...... so how does it end up everywhere else?

lol

I use to have a massage client like that. he liked to take a shower b4 and after the massage and he got water all over the bathroom I ended up not taking him any more. Id spend 15 minutes after he left each time cleaning up all the water

Rude People

 

Another pet peeve is about generally rude people.

1) Talking on your cell phone while at the bank window conducting business (saw that one today) or while at the counter at a fast food restaurant and treating the clerk as though they don't even exist. Your life is so important that you can't call someone back?

2) Holding the door open for a stranger and having them walk through as though they were royalty, not making eye contact or saying thank you. What am I - just the automatic door opener? I usually say loudly "You're welcome" just to embarrass them. The royal walk turns sheepish pretty quickly especially when the have their bratty kids in tow.

One local pharmacy recently put up a sign saying "We'll gladly help you once your phone call is finished."

 

They enforce. I was waved around some mommy on a phone. She made a scene and the manager asked her to leave.

 

It's nice to see civility valued, but it's sad to see that it has to be forced on some people.

a big one... 20 cash registers at walmart and only 2 open and both full

I have a business associate. You're talking with her on the phone and she gets a call on the other line and it's "hang on I have another call..." then you hear her answer the other phone and say that she's on another line and will return the (second) call when she's done. What the fuck? Either end the call with me to take the other call or just let it go to voice mail. She did this for a while and then I started to just hang up when it happened. Problem solved.
