Pet Peeves...

Men with long nails!  GROSS!  There is a man at work that has long nails always... longer than mine.  Not long as in, forgot to cut them a couple of days ago, nope.  Long as in prob professionally manicured!  GROSS!

Re: Pet Peeves...

  • Long nails on men are . . . odd.  Totally get that peeve.

    My pet peeve is people who take up too much space at the doctor's office waiting room.  Not talking about heavy people at all!!  The other day I was there and there was a mom, dad, grandma, and baby nurse all there for one infant.  And they had the infant in a large stroller.  Seriously?  One of these four people couldn't carry the kid?  He looked like he was all of 10 pounds.  And they ALL had to come?

  • I haven't seen a man with long nails in a long time!  The last time was when I was in the Village, NY.  I never understood why the entire family has to go to the doctor's visit - like it's some kind of family gathering. My pet peeve - people who suck their teeth...it sounds like they have a piece of chuleta stuck in their teeth.  MH and MIL both do this and ticks me off to no end.

  • Ew to the long nails!
    I have a few pet peeves that happened this morning one after another. Women who wear so much perfume that the smell stays in the elevator long after they've left.
    Chewing food, gum, etc with your mouth open or loud enough for me to hear you while I'm in my office.
    People at work who use the last paper towel on the roll in our office kitchen but don't replace it (the new rolls are directly underneath in the cabinet).

  • These are all bad!  GGRR

    And the bad coworker that drinks the last bit of coffee, but doesn't brew a new pot!

  • I agree - long nails on men is just weird...

    One of my pet peeves is when ppl send out emails without first checking their spelling and grammar - I mean it's a built in feature - USE IT! LOL  Also, ppl who "reply all" - this happens at work all the time.  For example, a manager will send an email to the whole company congratulating an employee for something and there are the handful of employees that will reply to everyone just to say "good job ___" every single time.  Just email the person in question...we don't all want our inboxes inundated...

    Also, people who chew with their mouth open; people who drive under the speed limit in the "fast lane".  Jackie, you opened a can of worms - I could go on and on and on, LMAO!

  • Oh man, this list could on forever! Good post, Jackie! ;)

    Anyhow, my biggest one is people who slurp...soup, coffee, coke from a can, anything...it's just gross. If your food/drink is that hot, blow & then take a sip, or wait til it cools down. Ugh, that sound just  makes my skin crawl!

  • Men who grab their junk! If I could, I would chop their hands! The list can go on for miles, but this is my TOP one!
  • Ewwww!  I had a vet with long nails and it would always gross me out when he would touch my cat, like Dr. Evil with his little hairless cat.

    IDK if this counts as a pet peeve, maybe it's the teacher side of me, but I can't stand when adults don't read directions or follow instructions.  I understand that people make mistakes.  But when you send out an email, memo, letter, etc. with simple directions and less than half the staff follows them, it's annoying, especially, since these are the people teaching the student body how to read and follow directions, lol.
