Pet Peeves

wifeofaussie

I didn't get enough sleep and I'm cranky.  Decided to complain about my pet peeves because I've already encountered several of them today.  Feel free to add your own

1)  People who chew anything with their mouths open, especially gum. 

2)  People who complain about others "being judgemental" and then proceed to blast anyone they perceive as ignorant.  Ummm, hypocritical much?

3)  People who tailgate in the right lane. 

4)  People who get to the checkout line, wait for the total amount and THEN start fishing for their checkbook, coupons, pen, etc. 

5)  People who walk obliviously through crowded, public places with their iPods going.  Why does a walk through the airport or grocery store require background music?

Clearly I should just go back to bed and try again tomorrow.  Or have some more coffee

I have very very few-

My biggest one is

people that expect to get something for nothing /or not work hard and expect it to be just handed to them

When people answer a question starting with the word, "So." It doesn't sound right. It sounds like you are making an independent statement and doesn't acknowledge that you are actually answering a question. Also snooze buttons. Be realistic when you set the alarm and then get up (dh).

And facebook in general. Why don't we all write, "I am so awesome. Awesome am I. Me me me me and I am awesome." (not saying this doesn't apply to my posts too.)

And on the chewing with your mouth open note-DO NOT take your gum out of your mouth and put it on my china. I do not want to see ANYTHING from the inside of your mouth while I am also eating. Gross! Wow I'm crankier than I thought too.

I am an extremely easy-going, unflappable person, but one thing makes me lose my mind.....ready for it?

When people put creases in paperback book bindings.  I simply can't abide it.  It's bizzare and anal, but I'm allowed one thing, right?

Tell my husband this.

People who don't stop at the stop sign by my house when they are going to get their kids from the daycare behind my house.  Really!  There are KIDS everywhere!  STOP. 

Tiny little ants that seem to be everywhere right now.  

Germs, especially ones that make my little boy sick.

1. People who stand in the middle of a walkway and expect everyone else to detour around them.

2. People who END sentences with "so....." So.....what? Spit it out and quit being passive-aggressive. 

3. Totally agree with fishing for the checkbook AFTER being rung up. Also, when people stand in line for 10 minutes at McDonalds or the like, and when they finally reach the counter, they stare at the menu like they're surprised it's been there the whole time, and then they proceed to hem and haw about what they want to order.

 People who text on their phones and are oblivious to their surroundings. I almost hit someone (on purpose) with DD's stroller last week at the mall because they were so engrossed with their phone and they weren't watching where they were going.

I totally agree with this. I used to work on a college campus and can't even begin to tell you how many times I was practically knocked over by students who were texting and not paying attention to where they were walking.

I have a few...

People who don't use their turn signals.  Are you really that lazy/distracted?  Plus, I (and the other drivers on the road) are not mind readers. 

People who don't acknowledge children when they speak to them.  Ben was being really sweet today at the library and said something to one of the mothers, who was standing a foot from him and looking right at him when he was talking to her.  She just looked at him like he had three heads and then took a drink from her water bottle.  Seriously lady?!  You couldn't say anything back to him?!   Who does that?

People who cut you off and then drive under the speed limit.

Haaa.  I totally do this.  I don't know where I picked it up.  I'm pretty sure I type that way too.  Sorry! 

My pet peeves, speaking of FB... talking about all the things you buy or have and how much you paid for them.  Can you say completely obnoxious?  Ugh.  I don't care whether it's in person, or on FB, don't talk about how much you spent on anything unless someone specifically asks.  In my opinion, it is super tacky and very arrogant.

People who lie

People who steal

People who are self absorbed

When people don't pick up their feet when walking

1) When nobody calls the house allll day until I start to workout.  Doesn't matter when I do it, they wait until then to call.  Talk to the machine, I'm warming up!  Lol.

2) When people cut someone off, period.  

3) When DH says, "I told you that" when he didn't. He talks to so many people throughout the day I know he's confusing me with someone else.  But yet, I'm the one losing it.  

And my favorite, just learned this week: While setting up our router and needing help with our internet connection, troubleshooting tried to direct me to a website for help.  Um, how am I suppose to look for help online when I'm not connected (and CAN'T connect) to the internet?  Yeah, it told me the page could not be displayed.

No crabby mood here today...got my workout (a beating with Jillian and a 3 mile run) in early and later found the huge discrepancy in the checkbook...I can finally balance!  Whoo-hoo!:)

Love it.

I hate when companies make shampoo and conditioner bottles with slanted lids so you can't let them sit upside-down to easily get the last few ounces out.

I HATE when my baby starts fussing and a random stranger will say "oh she's hungry"... or better yet "poor baby, is mama starving you? all you want to do is eat" Really? Because you know her cries better than I do? (For the record, she was tired, and it was yesterday in the grocery store).
