family members that cannot take their glass to the sink when they are finished with it.

family members that put more garbage in the garbage can and notice that it is full, but will not take the time to do anything about it.

uncourteous people ( a little "please" and "thank you" can go a long way).

drivers who think that "left of way" has priority over "right of way."

people who will not leave messages on an answering machine (but just breathe waiting for someone to answer the telephone).

young adults that cannot say a sentence without using 3 or more cuss words.

Spam mail.

Nursing students that don't wash their hands in the bathrooms at school--would you want them practicing on you?

People that pull out in front of you on a major route, drive 1/2 mile down the road at 15 mph, then turn off.

Work-related pet peeve. Social Workers who write up entries in case files, using neon pink or purple ink AND that loopy-jr-high-style handwriting.
Hello! Other people will have to be able to read the narrative if they're doing back-up when you're out, or when you transfer the case to another worker. Not to mention, it's a legal document that could possibly be used in a court of law.

My hubby thinks I'm crazy when I tell him the toilet paper is on wrong.....lol. I just tell him it's easier the way I put it on. I guess that's why I'm the one who usually replaces the empty roll anyway!!

Oh, and yes, I hate automated calls (except those for freebies of course!).....

Why is it everytime I use a public restroom, I see a woman come out of a stall, grab a paper towel and wipe her hands and proceed out the door of the bathroom. Why grab a towel and wipe the hands? Are they 'wet'? HMMMMM and if they are 'wet' after coming out of the commode....WHY THE HECK ARENT THEY WASHING THEM?!?!?!:eek: :eek:
THAT bugs me...LOL
Of course I have been confused with being obsessive with washing my hands...I only wash them about 50 times a day LOL But I still think after you use the potty, you should wash your hands!

03-28-2003, 08:04 PM
It happened to me today.... Calling a company or utility to take care of some business and having someone answer that speaks with a thick accent that I can't understand. What are these companies thinking???? How can their customers take care of business if they can't understand the person on the phone!!!!!

Haha, I have too many!!

Toilet seats being left up, When my daughter cries and my boyfriend mimics her crying, people taking my pop out of the fridge and never putting any back in, my sister wearing my clothes, people calling me on my cell phone at 8:00 in the morning when they know I'm still asleep!! People who always say negative things, liars!!! People that interuppt me while I'm speaking, people who pull up to the the red light and creep up little by litte like it's gonna make the light turn green any faster, and my biggest of all: people who smoke near the entrance of a store!!! So rude!

I am one of those people, I don't use a towel and wipe my hands, but I DO NOT wash my hands at the public sink either, they did a test here locally, and well, that is one of the places that the most germs were, on the faucet handles, also on the handle of the door leading out. Soooo, what I do, when I get OUT of the restroom, is use my anti-bacterial soap, the one that you use without water.

Ladytiger

Here's a few more, I am sure we can all relate to a few of these

people who say one thing, then do another
coupons that have 2 weeks before they expire
people talking to their animals when eating (b/f does this with a cat, drives me nuts!)
radio stations that play songs then don't say the name of the song or the artist
impatient people
stepping on something sharp in the middle of the night
stepping in a lake when going into the bathroom after DD takes a shower:confused:

People who stop all of a sudden then turn their turn signles on, or not using them at all.

when my dh cuts his hair in the bathroom and doesn't clean it up off the floor.

People going down the wrong asle in their cars in a parking lot.

Here we go!

First let me say I'm not an English teacher. That said, I have several grammatical peeves.

1. People are "who's," not "that's"
2. People who say "anxious" when they really mean "eager"
3. "Alot," instead of "A lot"
4. Americans who don't use proper English
5. Misuse of "there" and "your"
6. Punctuation or lack thereof
7. Abbreviations used online. ie ppl, etc.
8. People on television (usually reporters) who feel the need to say "um" after every word.

Cabinets and drawers that are half closed. Not all the way, but just half.

That horrible bass sound, as cars drive past my house, rattling my windows.

People who pull out in front of you and then can't keep at a steady speed. It seems its always slower than you want to go, but fluctuates between 45 and 60.

Why oh WHY can my family find the laundry hamper but can't actually put the clothes IN it?

Perfume. I'm horribly allergic to it. Why can't some women (and men) realize that not EVERYONE wants to smell them. When you're in a store and you smell MANY people wearing perfume, it gets really sickening. How about they use use a little. Why must they BATHE in it?

Perfume and the bass thing are simply inconsideration for other people.

(jumping off my soap box)

DH putting his wallet, watch, and belt on the entertainment center in the living room.

People who let their animals "do" in my yard.

The phone rings and you have to "please hold for an important message."

When my dad calls me - I answer the phone, "Hello" His first words - "hurry up" - Uh, you called me... you hurry up! LOL

6. People who have their windows rolled down and their music blarring so loud your windows vibrate.
7. College students that can't read..."FACULTY AND STAFF PARKING ONLY"
8. Whoever decided to have the student union's roof redone. That is the worst smell.
9. DD whining about her dad not spending time with her, then DD whining cause her dad took her somewhere that she didn't want to go.

When my Dh leaves 1 inch of tea in the tea jar and puts it back in the fridge.
When members of the household keep throwing more trash on top of the trash container, when it's full already and needs to be replaced with a new bag.
When I put extra toilet paper right next to the dispenser but no one will change the empty roll.
When no one puts a new roll of paper towels on after they use the last one.
When someone leaves the cap off the toothpaste.
When cabinet doors and dawers are left open.
When I sit something down and come back to get it and DH has put it somewhere, but doesn't remember doing it, when I ask what happened to it.
When I have to go look for something DH wants and it's right where I told him it was.
Toilet seat left up at night, or any time for that matter.
Ice trays that are left in the freezer with one or two pieces of ice in them.
When someone drops something on the floor and everyone just walks over it without picking it up.
The list could go on, but everyone in the hosue thinks I b^^^ch enough as it is, so I'll just leave it at that. LOL

DH blowing his nose at the table while we're eating...ewww...gag! I want to throw up every time.
People that talk with a mouth full of food.
When there's enough toilet paper left on the roll for at least 3 mores uses and someone puts a new roll on top and starts using that one.So that you have to take the new "big roll" off the dispenser to use the one that is almost gone first.
Mom's new boyfriend.
People that stare at a part of your body when talking to you instead of looking at your face.

LOL.....could go on and on....
some of these I totally agree with and was laughing at some
GOOD post!!!

Ugg. People who work at the library who won't book a room for you because they are looking at a clothes website, its ur job to do that K. not to search the gap.com!!!
Also, promises that are not kept. I know this is a daily occurance but when my husbands says he'll write to me at least 3 times a week I expect him to. Especially if its the only comminication we have (he is getting better though. Got 30 letters today :)
Oh and last one, I despise it when people look for a way to give u their work. Not really but someone started talking to me when I was typing :)
