What are some of your pet peeves?

[Sib2of11]

A few of mine are:

Seeing a car with a little dog sticking it's head out the driver's window. Don't these people know how dangerous it is to drive with a dog on their lap?

Joggers who jog on the side of the road rather than on the sidewalk, especially when they are on the wrong side of the road.

Motorcyclist riding without a helmet.

Cars weaving in and out of traffic, narrowly missing other cars and causing a major accident.

Cars running the yellow, when really it's red by the time they get there as my light is green when they are in the middle of the intersection.

People not holding the elevator when you are right in front of the door. And men not letting the lady enter/exit first.

I have plenty :eek: My response would depend on the day. :rolleyes:


Cars driving under the speed limit in the left lane.

Cars in the left lane deciding they want to take the exit ramp or turn right at the last minute and cut across multiple lanes of traffic.

Synchronized driving - where cars spread out among all lanes at a slow pace not allowing others to get around them.

Kids running around, playing, talking loudly and climbing all over the booths or seats in restaurants while the parents make no attempt to have them settle down. I don't mind kids being kids, but at sit down restaurants I think kids should behave properly to not disturb other diners.

That's all for now

I agree with you on this one, but stopping on a yellow in MI will get you rear-ended. :mad:

People who park in the "Reserved for parents with children" parking spot at the grocery store, when it's obvious they do not have any children with them. She got out of her car like there was nothing wrong with where she parked. :stomp:

Yep - and the people who park in handicapped spots who should not. I wish stores had the authority to give out tickets to those without the proper handicap identification.

And just because you have the handicapped person in the car does not mean you can park in the handicapped spot to run in and do an errand while they wait in the car. :rolleyes:

I knew of someone who printed sheets of paper with the handicap logo and which said, "Ignorance is a handicap, but it doesn't entitle you to park in this space." Whenver he saw a car illegally parked in a handicap spot he would put the sign under the windshield wiper of that car.

Oooohh... I like that!

!. Relaying a message to someone when the other person is
already there. Like, why don't THEY tell them.
2. Going grocery shopping, and encountering homeless
people begging at the entrance with their signs & boards.
The management seems to do nothing about it.
3. People who can't use their 'inside' voice.
4. The 'walk' button goes off when you're halfway across the
road.
5. Rude people - Especially the customers in retail. It's the
customers that almost drive me to drink!

So many others, I better stop now.

I have one of those people at my office. She sits a few seats behind me on the other side of the cubicles. I hear every conversation she has. :rolleyes:

People who bathe in their cologne and perfume. They don't seem to realize that not everyone may like the smell, nor do we want to be smacked in the face with the overwhelming scents when they walk past us. And they don't realize that they may be giving people headaches.

[jcme]

People who talk loudly on their cell phones. And worse yet the ones who use them in public (or private) restrooms. At least in your own private restroom you can control the flushing sound.

I love places that refuse to wait on someone if they are on their cell phone.

[mindyb99]

People who speak in slang, ugh it makes you look uneducated don't you realize this, lol.

People who drive under the speed limit.

Chronic complainers.

People who value the dollar more then their family.

[LuvMaui]

When people don't return the shopping carts to the cart area.
