GTKY: Pet Peeves (NBR)
WARM SUMMERS

Since I'm bored at work I thought it would be fun to do a GTKY. What are some of your pet peeves?
1. I have road rage which I'm trying to work on before the baby comes. I can't stand people who drive in the passing lane going the speed limit on the highway. I can't stand people who drive 10MPH below the speed limit. People who don't use blinkers should be shot. People who cut you off and drive super slow. People who cruise for a decent amount of distance with their blinker on, forgetting to turn it off in the first place. Or when you're backing out of a parking spot but people still pass by you after you're atleast half way out of your spot...makes me want to ram my car into yours!
2. People who chew their gum like a cow and "pop" it constantly.
3. People who chew with their mouths open. I don't want to see your chewed up food moving from side to side in your mouth. 
4. This one is hard to describe but when people who snort their snots and then swallow it. MAKES.ME.CRINGE.
5. When holding a door open for someone and they don't say "Thank you". Ugh! I usually say "You're welcome." out of spite.
I have more but I'll just start off with those.

those plus.....
I cant stand people that constantly move. Like, if Im watching movie and there is a person rocking in their chair or shaking their foot I want to punch them.
Oh, and whistling. I have sensitive hearing so it hurts when people whistle. ARGH
Mine change all of the time LOL
1) people who will hold up a line to write a check and balance checkbook, or digging for 2 pennies to give cashier and takes forever!
2) Currently people I barely know rubbing my belly or giving me unsolicited and totally absurd advice about pregnancy!
All of these, ESPECIALLY the driving issues. I think you picked every single thing that I've yelled at another driver about this week. I only ever yell from inside my car with the windows rolled up, try very hard not to honk my horn (although I'm not very good at sticking to this one), and never try to hurt another driver who had just pushed all my buttons, but I still need to work on it before baby arrives. DH thinks it's very funny that I'm so calm most of the time but driving brings out my crazy. He calls me a city driver (which I am ... I spent 10 years driving in Calgary traffic and have decided that the people in Northern Ontario all drive like they're in a little country town).
I'm glad I'm not the only one who suffers from road rage. DH laughs at me all time for it but he's the same way. I actually think he's worse. If people learned proper road etiquette the world would be a much better place. Just sayin'.
Are you my long-lost twin sister? LOL! These are all mine! Especially the road rage part.... I knew it was bad when I heard this little tiny voice from the back seat saying angrily, "Get out of the way old man!!"
I don't know what you call that either, but a man was just hired at my company who sits on the same cube aisle as me. He. does. this. constantly.
I cannot stand it! I have to wear earphones, because it's something that occurs all day long. I want to refer him to an ear nose and throat doctor!
People who use the word "hence" with out understanding what it means and HOW to use it. I hate reading "hence why" or "hence the reason." It's redundant. LOOK IT UP or stop using it!
I also can't stand grocery store express lines with signs that say "X items or less."
Text speak in general. Much of it I can over look with out having a fit but "u" for "you" I just have no tolerance for. It's just making yourself look stupid for the sake of looking stupid. If you can't be bothered to type THREE whole letters then what you are trying to say can not possibly be that important.
Strangely, I am not really bugged by you're/your or there/their/they're confusion on message boards. People type fast and don't proof read, stuff happens. When it happens in a professional setting it does bug me.
Posts full of misspellings and grammatical errors and/or text speak from anyone who, in the SAME POST, boasts about being a teacher. I don't see it much here but, on some other boards I've looked at, holy hell.
Anyone who drives with their dog in their lap.
Kind of posted mine under the FFFC for today but it still goes.
Grown adults who have no concept of money, how checking works, or that yes, even if a check is cashed a month and a half AFTER you issue it, YOU still owe that money. Don't spend money you don't have...I get if you are in an emergency situation that you need to use a credit card (been there, done that), but it's not necessary to brag on facebook about buying your child $200 shoes for a photoshoot her friend is shooting and have a $62.00 check bounce. Or how my SIL buys clothes upon clothes and then can't pay her rent and begs my MIL for money. Or how my sister
**Sigh** I have a feeling I'm not going to be letting go of this as easily as I want to.
OH GOD YES! That one drives me up a wall.
1. When people stand over your shoulder when you are on the phone.
2. People who constantly click their pen.
3. When people don't RSVP!
I try to give those people the benefit of the doubt because they may just be used to pulling a trailer. You have to swing wide or you'll smash the idiot that you're turning past who doesn't understand where to stop at the stop sign/light. I also have issues with people who cut off or slam on their brakes when I'm hauling a trailer. Those things don't stop on a dime and I don't want to have to repaint my truck.
ooo, your pet peeves are good!
my biggest one by far is clicky sounds : clicking nails together, tapping nails on a surface, clicking pens, tapping your shoe on a surface, etc. i think like a PP mentioned, my ears are sensitive and it really bothers me ears.
popping gum- DRIVES. ME. INSANE!
people who don't pick their feet up when they walk, drag their feet and make that crazy noise!
people who sing in stores while shopping. sorry, you are not famous for your singing for a reason- please shut up
I have a lot, including some already listed (big ups to road rage!)... but here are some of the biggies!
- Long toenails. I can't stand it, you are not a bird - clip your talons! Sick!
- People that dislike the sound of cracking knuckles. I get it that they hate the sound, but seriously if I do not crack my knuckles I will be in serious pain and the pain starts shooting up my hand and into my wrists. So as much as you hate the sound, I will crack my knuckles if I d@mn well have to.
- When you are standing in line, but there are two registers, and some a-hole decides that they deserve to start a second line and skip the 15 people ahead of them, making it 2 lines instead of the 1 original line. Why do you think you are better than the rest of us? And, I also hate all of the stupid people that indulge that person and give the second line validity by joining it!
Ugh, I hate this too! It also makes me mad that the cashiers don't address it (although sometimes they do and I love it!)
My #1 pet peeve is probably people that constantly complain about things in their life but do nothing to change the situation.
