Pet Peeves Part II
14. People who take over your duties, responsibilities, or your way of doing things without asking for permission. I can't stand it when I send something I composed from heart and it goes around like they wrote it.
15. That leads me to - taking credit for someone else's work without recognizing the blood, sweat and tears of the person *****ally did it.
16. People who cough without covering their mouth - if you are armless and can't cover your mouth, at least cough at the floor, or to the side, but not in my face or on my neck! My neck is reserved for hubby nibbles and hickies, it is not an incubator for SARS.
17. People who change lanes without using their turn signals. I looked in the MVA handbook and did not see mind reading as a requirement for licensing, so please use your dang signals!
18. People who drive without headlights and act as if though they own the road. I always look for cops chasing these, but never see them go after them.
19. Ren, you said tailgating when you're 5 miles above the speed limit. in my case, 5 miles over the speed limit is not enough - you have to be going at least 10 or 15 miles over the speed limit for me to lay off on your bumper.
20. People who drive cars that are obviously unfit for the road. Seen those vehicles riding on the bald tires with black brake dust on them? They squeal to a stop.
21. Unrestrained children in cars. Nothing makes me more angrier than seeing some 3 year old waving all cute at you while you are driving behind them, and while the cars are going 70 miles an hour.
22. Bumper stickers that are too small to read. If it doesn't say back off, you're too close or I'll flick a booger on you, let us see what it says!
23. Men who think they are God's gift to women that are allowed to cruise at 10 miles per hour, thumpety thumping their car.
24. Being approached at the gas station by some beggar asking for change so they can put gas in their car which is 6 blocks away. Look, if you can't afford gas, you shouldn't have the fricking car!
25. People who whine and complain, and ask for your advice, and then don't take it. Don't wear me down with your problems if you aren't going to listen to me.
26. Missing or broken front teeth in adults. Okay if you couldn't afford dental care while growing up, at least invest in a pair of dentures. I read your lips and I do not want to see the RIP tombstones you have in your mouth. You'll know if I can't read your lips anymore because I will walk away and continue on my business.
27. The drunker the people get, the more "on" you they get. I usually tell them happy birthday - sometimes it shuts them up. I don't want to smell booze if I'm not having it. LOL
28.The morning people - come walking through here with the sing songy good morning as if they got laid twice over, and are having a blessed day - makes you want to grab the stapler and throw it at them. LOL
Okay, I'm done.
Next!!!
29. People whose work ethic leaves alot to be desired for. I can't stand people who are "just there for their 8 hours"; and those that say "I don't know, I wasn't here then.", and those that say, "I can't open this file" trying to open everything in Word. Windows Explorer opens up more than just Word files.
30. I have little patience for people who pull up in the grocery express lanes with 50 items when the sign clearly calls for 20 items or less and then they use 40 coupons...
31. Women who continue to shop while their babies -( like 6 months or younger) are screaming on top of the lungs. Look, if the baby is hungry - grab formula off the shelf, a bottle from the baby department, and go over to the bottled water aisle, grab a bottled water (preferably distilled) and fix the formula, then run over to the kitchen department to try one of their display microwaves or use the employee lounge if you need to warm it - or better yet, get one of those pacifiers out of the package, but please take the entire package with you and pay for it on your way out.
32. Fighting couples who make their arguments public in a store in a knock down drag through the mud and your momma too.
33. Snot nosed kids - it's cute to see tears running down their face, but snot is a whole nother thing.
Okay....
1. Me hates the thumpety-thumpety music, too, where all you hear is bass - now, if we're gonna thumpety-thumpety Journey, I'm all over that.
2. Online dating - LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE!! Come ON, not every man can be into camping, kayaking and sky diving? Why can't I find a man who just wants to go out for a coffee or a drink or dinner, and then take me home and paint my toenails?????? AND.......I've noticed that even the heavier men are only willing to date women who are "athletic, slender and toned." Yeah, right, that's why you've been doing the online thing for a decade!!!
3. Blue-haired shoppers who think shopper carts are walkers!! There is NO need to lean WAAAY over the cart and hang onto it like you're going over a cliff. And....get the F out of my way.
4. People who stand behind you in express lanes, CLEARLY counting your number of items. Note to the little old man behind me yesterday: Back off!! You're retired, I'm not, I have to get back to work and if you HADN'T acted so freaking superior with your huffing and puffing, I MIGHT have let you get in front of me!!!
5. People who don't respond to posts, emails, pm's, phone calls - whatever. Common courtesy here, people!!! And don't worry, if you don't respond once, you won't have to worry about a return communication from ME!!!
6. Rude neighbors in rowhomes - I don't CARE if your sister went into your room without permission!!! Likewise, I don't care if your husband isn't treating with your respect - regardless of the fact that you have 7 illegitimate children by 9 different fathers - I don't care, I don't want to hear it!! If you're going to kill each other, please have the courtesy to do it before 9 p.m.
7. Parents who sign their children up for activities and then don't bring them. Even AFTER we tell them we're willing to pick them up, bring them home, etc. Way to teach your kid about responsibility and commitment, people!!
8. People who don't RSVP - if you're NOT coming, say so!!! Particularly if I have to give a head-count!!!
I'm sure there'll be more as my day goes on!!
Tia
More as they come to me.
