Re: pet peeves, anyone else?
My biggest are people with hairy toes bleh!
And people who do not pull over for emergency vehicles!
I agree with all of yours...
Also people who sneeze in their hand and then wipe their face/nose and don't wash their hands... Disgusting
Snippy people who try to act like they are just witty or joking but are really rude...
People who talk on their cell phones while in the bathroom stall.
People who don't wash their hands after they use the restroom.
people that hack and cough and do not cover their mouth.
I really could go on and on...
omigod..i HATE that!!
At work:
~ People who act like my desk is public property just because I'm not in an office (steal my pens, grab random things without asking, etc)
~ People who hang out in the front area talking very loud while about nothing while I'm trying to listen to the person on the phone with the volume cranked but STILL have to keep saying "I'm sorry, I didn't catch that" (while glaring at the people talking who just ignore me)
~ Women that pee on the toilet seat because their too retarded to learn how to SIT DOWN on one (I'm sorry but it's not like it's a public bathroom. If you really are worried about it, put down TP or wipe off the seat with the sanitizer & a tissue!!)
~ People that don't clean up after themselves in the kitchen
In the car:
~ People that don't use turn signals
~ People that ride my bumper when we're doing 70 in a 55 on the beltway (freaking go around me or back the F off!!!)
~ People that go 10 below the speed limit even on a perfect weather/road day (& yes, I do go around these people & do NOT ride their bumper)
In general:
~ People that don't listen to DH & I when it comes to our dog ("Don't feed him candy, he doesn't need it" *person tries to sneak him candy right in front of me*. "He's being punished for being bad, don't talk to him or give him treats" *person walks over talking baby talk to him & gives him food* ARG!!!!)
Using IM language in real life/professional setting.
Using the express lane at the grocery store with enough items to feed a family of 10 for 2 weeks.
Grooming in public. The sound of a nail clipper in a public place is gross.
Sick people who are to sure to tell everyone to stay away but still come to the office.
I'll play!
my husband dries his hands with papertowels and leaves them lying around - drives me NUTS!
Nail clipping in general - gross!
Rugs IN FRONT of a toilet - all I think is Man-pee-pee-spray!

People who clip there nails on the train (NYC is gross)
People who crack their knuckles all the time (DH is included in this)
People in public restrooms who don't wash their hands after they use the toilet! A bunch of pregnant women in our childbirth class even did this. Gross.
At work:
I hate when people wait 5-10 minutes for the elevator, just to go up or down 1 floor!
I hate being interupted by cadets when Iam with another cadet in my office.
I also hate when people just stand at my door talking about anything when I have cadets in my office.
Driving:
I hate when people don't use their turn signal!
I hate when people SLOW DOWN on the on ramp to the highway.
I hate when morning/ evening rush hour comes to a stand still because there is an accident on the OTHER SIDE of the highway, and people want to look!
Home:
I hate when DH puts his dirty dishes by the sink instead of in it.

-People who take their time gathering their things at the supermarket even though there are 453457348 people in line behind them and the cashier has already started bagging the next person's groceries.
- When people stare/glare at me because I'm pregnant and my wedding ring doesn't fit these swollen fingers...even when DH is with me.
- Other people's screaming children.
- When people spend $300 at Wal-Mart, use the last $20 on their government debit card and then pull a wad of cash out to cover the rest....and all they have is junk food.
People who drive too slow in the passing lane when they aren't passing anyone.
People who are rude to waiters, customer service representatives or basically anyone that they don't HAVE to be nice to.
People who don't return shopping carts to in parking lots, but leave them randomly around the parking lots to run into other cars and block parking spaces.
your pet peeve about yawning made me think of one of mine - people who yawn and feel the need to make a noise when they do it. yeah, we get it, you're tired.
people who stand in front of an elevator or train door or at the top of the escalator. hello! there are people behind you and/or who need to get on and off.
people who don't say thank you when you hold a door open.
people who sing or whistle in public. whistling is like nails on a chalkboard to me, it literally hurts my ears SO much. but why you would think people want to hear your horrible singing is beyond me.
Let me preface this by saying I am a germaphobe so many of these are germ related:
-people touching/using my pens.
-people blowing their nose when in my office.
-people who don't wash their hands after using the restroom or before they eat.
-shaking hands in general (I don't know if you have hygiene!)
-erratic drivers
-talking with food on one's mouth.
-people who talk on cell phones loudly in public or while checking out with a cashier.
-perhaps the most controversial: people who complain about their weight but eat like crap & don't exercise.

i totally do that, well not for 10 minutes, but if i attempt stairs, i can't breathe for like 10 minutes and my hips ache....hehe
-people touching/using my pens.
i read this as "penis"
* People who use the word "irregardless" rather than "regardless".
* People who incorrectly answer the question, "Do you mind if I...?" Example: "Do you mind if I sit here?" "Yes, go ahead!" Uh...you just said that you do mind if I sit here and then you said go ahead. Irritating.
* People who have an overwhelming compulsion to one-up your story. No matter what you are sharing, they have to tell a better/worse/more interesting story and they insist on letting you, and everyone else in the vicinity, know that their story was way better/worse/more interesting than yours.
* Stupid people.
One of my BIGGEST pet peeves is when I can hear someone eating! I know weird, but even if their mouth is closed and I can hear them crunching... it is like nails on a chalkboard to me!!
But of course, I had it when people smack on their food! How hard is it to keep your mouth closed!
Also, I'm not sure if this is a pet peeve or just something I get grossed out by, but I hate it when people take a drink with food in their mouth. It makes me want to vomit.
I just realized those are all oral issues:/
People who blow their nose in any public setting. And by public I mean when there is any one else around. I do not want to hear you blow your nose - its a completely disgusting sound. I dont even like when I can hear my husband do it from inside the bathroom (which is where I make him go to do it because it bothers me so much)
*When people crunch really loudly when they eat (carrots and apples are torture!)
*People who have long ongoing conversations on their cellphones in stores, doctors' waiting rooms, restaurants, etc. It's even worse when the person on the other end is talking so loud that you an hear BOTH sides of the conversation!
*When people cut through traffic through the break-down lane, so they don't have to wait.
*People who inturrupt other peoples' stories to talk about their own.
Judgemental comments such as:
"It was your choice to have a baby"
"Being pregnant isn't a disability so why should I give up my seat, why should I give up my parking, open the door for etc..
"You should have thought about it before you (had a baby, got married, etc..)"
You are my pet peeve twin. All of these bug me, and I'll add one more: people chewing and snapping their gum. Drives me crazy, especially in quiet settings. The other day I was at Target and this woman was shopping by me and snapping her gum very loudly. She seemed to need to go to the same areas of the store that I did and the entire time all I heard was snapping and chewing. It was horrible. I was seriously thinking homicidal thoughts by the time I left.
so, i work at whole foods, and every single grocery one that was said makes me want to punch people. i WILL call people out on things in the express line.... it's not like there isn't a sign, and the registers are tiny.
i've also lost my filter when it comes to customers, so it's not pretty anymore. the store is in a rich part of town, so most of the people think they are entitled to things. so here is a small list of mine.
-when you don't use the divider. i don't know where one persons groceries begin and one end. don't get snippy with me about it either.
-telling me how to bag your groceries. "put the heavy stuff on the bottom" "don't put the hot chicken with the gelato" "the butter should go with the cold stuff" seriously? do i look stupid?
-telling me the amount of change you just gave me. yeah, i can tell it's 3 pennies.
-when you return an item, i don't need to know that it gave you the shits. i don't care why you're returning it.
i could go on for days, but now i'm irritated thinking about them.
but one more.
-reading my name tag and calling me by my name. i don't know you. it's creepy. don't tell me i "don't look like a sam" either.
I have NEVER had that problem at Whole Foods. But I'll say it really does piss me off when I get home from Kroger & the milk is on top of the bread & bananas.

People who play with the gum in their mouths or smack it or when you can see gum in someones mouth in a picture.
I hate gum it's disgusting.
DH eating cereal loudly, slurping the milk.
This is my biggest one. My boss uses it! So hard not to correct her... All I can do is try to use it correctly in front of her and hope she catches on someday. Most of mine are language-based, including:
- People who say "expresso" instead of "espresso"
- People who say "chipolte" (rhymes with Nolte) as opposed to "chipotle"
Stupid people!
People who ask a question on the bump that was just asked 10 minutes ago, and answered. Scroll down!
When people use the post title "Holy ____ Batman!" OMG, it isn't funny, it's been used a thousand times, you're not original! That one gets a big eyeroll.
Slow drivers in the left lane.
Snotty people who think they're better than others.
Lol this is good to get it all out!
co-irkers who brush their teeth in the bathroom at work.
Really, people? Take care of your personal grooming at home. No one wants to see you all foamy-mouthed, and blowing spit all over the bathroom. just gross
I have quite a few but these two are my biggest pet peeves:
Loud gum chewers (includes snapping/popping gum and blowing bubbles)
Snoring
THe last one!!! The is one of my biggest!
