Pet peeve thread?

[look 171]

Automatic paper towel dispenser that give you the size of a piece of toilet paper at restaurants or other public restrooms. Are there adjustments on them for a larger piece?

People who ask in line at the market to allow them to get ahead of you because they have only one item when I am holding only four in my hands.

people with pet peeves

[Jim Richards]

winter

[GH85Carrera]

Pelican going off-line.

[Jim Richards]

hot, humid summers

[shadowjack1]

People that ask for a pen at the bank drive up window.
Sun visors that do not cover the drivers side window.
People that tailgate.
Everyone that is late.

[sc_rufctr]

People with poor personal hygiene.

So called "men" who don't polish their shoes.

Anybody who doesn't iron their clothes. (When in a public place)

Drivers who cut corners when turning right in Aus... Or left in the US.

People at airports.
In a hurry to get nowhere.
Jumping up when the plane stops.
Waiting directly beside the luggage belt with their carts.
Messin' up the flow at the metal detectors.

Get the hell out of my way!!!

Speaking of airports why does not Canada have preclearing customs like the US?
It is very smart. When I return from the US then I have to line up at Canada Customs and Immigration as well as picking up my bags. In the US when I get to my destination I just pick up my bags and go. Get with it Canada!

Pet peeves eh? Got a few hours?

1. Fat, knock kneed goth/ punk kids in skinny jeans. It's not a good look.

2. Buying a set of wiper blades at AutoZone and getting a receipt 4 1/2 feet long.

3. No I don't want to save 20% today by signing up for your stupid credit card, and no, I don't want to go online and take a survey for a chance to win $5,000. Just give me my damn jeans.

4. No EBT cards at fast food places. Either make your family a healthy meal at home or pack some healthy snacks for when you're out and about. You're broke, remember?

5. People order their meal at the counter at McDonalds, the cashier places the fries on the tray and goes to fetch the drink and sandwich. Mr. "Classy" proceeds to grab a fistful of fries and starts to shove them in his "piehole", chomping loudly.

6. Overweight Geekboy with questionable personal hygiene decides to wear his flip flops to the local electronics store to pickup that new hard drive, even though he hasn't showered in a week and hasn't clipped his toenails since the Clinton Administration. Hey, either cover those ugly things up or go fly off and snatch salmon from a river, I don't want to see them.

7. When out in public, elderly women coming up to me and asking if I'm Brad Pitt, and if so, can they take my picture with their buxom 18 year old granddaughter.




Okay that last one is more of a fantasy than pet peeve, but you get my drift.

Dang! The entire town if El Paso has it wrong.

[vash]

People that stop in natural choke points. Like the end of an escalator. Move it lady! I'm coming on up. Or the geniuses that park it at the jump off point on a ski lift. Haha.

[Targa Me]

1. Non handi-cap people that park in the handi-cap parking spot, using someone elses parking placard.

2. People who shuffle their feet.

3. People that chew their food with their mouth open.

4. Lazy people.

5. Liter bugs.

6. People that tailgate. (I'm not talking about the party.)

7. Old women that use very cheap perfume.

Here, guys who polish their shoes and iron their clothes sometimes get stereotyped
