Pet peeve thread?

[Don Ro]

Those who insist on talking on speaker phone.
.
And then those who always have to be reminded to speak into the mic instead of letting the phone fall to their shoulder.

Ordering food from a fast food menu marquee outside, and having to repeat my order, many times, soggy French fries. Having swamp butt after eating at Taco Bell, I love the taste, but I have to pay for it in the end!. Going to Taco Bueno, to order a dish of nachos only to have the cashier hand me a unwrapped spork? Hoodies. Man hair buns. walking into any store and being hassled when clearly I'm browsing. I don't want no hassle in your castle. People with no sense of humor. Gloom and doom people. Did I mention BMW drivers cutting me off on left turn arrows? People who dye their hair un-natural colors. Hearing the musac playing weird music, and I mean weird music while I try to shop. Strange women hitting on me, c'mon ladies, I'm being friendly, I don't want a relationship, nothing is happening here gals. Argh! Arthritus, forgetting how to spell. LOL!

People who always call on their ****ty bluetooth phone from their car. Excuse me, but call me back when you're not doing something else. People who say "walla". An apostrophe "S" is not plural. If you're in the front of the turn lane, as in the very first person, do not pull out your phone and start texting with people. People who can never agree, and just have to re-phrase what I just frikken finished saying but with different words. Stupid people who have to repeat what I just said verbatim, as if their idiot brain needs time for what I said to sink in. Hippies. Stoners. Moochers. Negative or arrogant people. I find that for all of these things, my way of dealing with them are either to put distance between them and me, or to use humor to distract myself from their stank aura of ineptitude. Oh, and I almost forgot. People who call their car a "build". Build is a god damn verb, not a noun. And now you sound like a reality TV show douchebag host, but more pathetic because it shows that you need to glom onto other people's drama because you think it make you glamorous or with it.

Selfish people who take stinginess to an ugly state.
Ever notice that selfish people give you only token attention - the psych community politely refers to that as "being economical".

We have one self important attorney client that calls on his speaker phone, and then walks all around his office. I finally just put him on my speaker phone and backed up 10 feet. He picked up and so did I. Bingo, we can communicate normally now. Amazing.

I agree, that one is weirdly annoying.

SO......I shouldn't do that ?

Tailgaters are my biggest pet peeves, they usually have the blue tint headlights that burn through the back of my head, or completely blind me from my mirrors. On an older car I recently had, I could position the driver's side mirror to reflect their headlights back into their eyes.....it's amazing how quick they back off, and remain at a reasonable distance.

Or they answer every question by saying "Well,.....

Woah! My FIL and my BIL does that. I HATE it!
They sit around the table when calling us. The result is that we cannot hear them and they cannot understand us.

Another thing is IP-phone. The call echoes, gets interrupted, has delays.

As of lately the color orange. Holly weird actors pushing their beliefs on hard working Americans, weekend tv lineups, I have 2000 or so channels and not a dang thing to watch! Who does those channel line ups, first 100 channels info commercial channels included, second 100 channels, the same info commercial channels included, third 100 channels, and the same dang infomercial channels included, all the way up to the top.

OH oh oh, pet peeve:

A thread is started "who do you like in the superbowl"...... people who don't watch football or don't know who's playing or don't care at all about the superbowl at all reply and let us know that.

I'm sure sometime in the past I'm prolly guilty of it also.

Why? Must be human nature.

Agreed. Especially trolls with multiple log-in IDs who start fictitious threads that are nothing but PARF-bait.

IDK why so many women feel they have to "take charge" and act like a little man.

My guess is that their men act like little women.

[Por_sha911]

My Pet Peeve is being chastised for saying I don't care about football in the Super Bowl thread. I did it just to stir up trouble.

Yeah ladies, how about a little consideration!

I don't know if these have been mentioned yet:

Elevator etiquette, You are on the elevator and get to your floor... the door opens... and there are people standing in the doorway with that 'deer in the headlights' look blocking you from exiting the elevator.

And escalator etiquette, people who get off the escalator... take two steps then stop to look around... as if they are the only people riding the escalator.

I know right ? I told my wife that I have to make sure the seat is down every time when I have a major transaction, why shouldn't she do this as well ?
