Peeves

[Luvmyzoocrew]

I have to laugh at some of these, it is funny what ticks people off sometimes.

As a mother to four my biggest pet peeve, well i have many lets face it, are parents who dont have control of their kids!!!!!!!!! There are kids that i would love to grip up and correct , but of course i dont cause it is not my kid,lol. there was this kid at my sons preschool last year that , omg , annoyed the crap out of me. He would do things that i would have corrected my kids for and his mother is in la la land not doing anything about it, i was so tempted to correct him and then if she said something i was goig to tell here that i thought i should correct him since she wasnt,lol, but i didnt want to start any big trouble at my kids school, so everyday i sat there and got aggravated,lol.

My other pet peeve is WHINING OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! i never wanted girls for this reason cause they seem to be the biggest whinners of all,lol. My one niece doesnt know how to talk, every word that comes out of her mouth is a whine, it is enough to make my skin crawl,lol

Yes, I know, I've seen that too, and it disturbs me. I didn't grow up that way, and I would never raise a child in that atmosphere.

Actually it did make sense. I understand.

Litterbugs; It's my #1 peeve. The earth is not your personal garbage bin.

The sound of long nails scratching on skin, it drives me insane for some reason.

Drivers that insist on going 90 MPH and weaving in and out of traffic.

Drivers that act like they are the only people on the road.

Kids that tease animals, for example:
I was at a Petsmart last month volunteering and a young boy was poking through the bars at one of the rabbit's. This female was already distrusting and a bit aggressive to begin with, it was obviously upsetting her. The dad wasn't even paying attention to his child. So I said to the boy, "Sweetie don't tease the rabbit, okay? It's not nice and she could bite you." The boy replied in a whining voice, "I'm not teasing!" Then the father pulled him away.

Also, screaming babies/children in public. It just gives me a migraine.

People who refuse to accept blame or responsibility for anything...ever.

My biggest pet peeve is people calling my house; not just the telemarketers; and ask me for my father in law or cousin. Then hang up after being told they got the wrong number with no apoligy.

People who interfere or make comment's when I am dealing with one of my children who is not behaving.

People telling me to wear make up. (Most people I know don't reconize me with make up on.)



People who say they are going to do something, then don't do it.

There's a time and a place for that kind of behaviour, it's called college.

another peeve..

adults who buy minors cigarettes ,beer and such .... it really ticks me off

 

[Fancy77]

WOW...These are all so interesting.

1)ppl who walk their dog with no poop bag

2)Backstabbing

3)ppl who don't tell the truth

4)Disrespectful kids, I have a neighbor who thinks its gr8 that her 11 yr old will holler at me when I'm trying to play with him, he's the boss and he does what he wants when he wants and u better do it...bull-oney. She likes the fact he can stick up for himself, and say whats on his mind. well cant he say it in a nicer tone. this same kid lied to get my hubby in trouble. my hubby was nice enough to take him to play b-ball. there was a verbal altercation between between some of the kids, this 11 yr old comes home saying he had a horrible time and he got hit at b-ball and my hubby wouldnt do nothing about it. the worst part is the parents believed this lying kid over my hubby. they holler at us and hubby said no thats not what happened. The parents apologized, grounded the kid for 2 weeks. The best part is the kid was done being grounded by the next day cuz it was to hard to follow through.

5)Parents that dont follow through

6)ppl who judge you on your possessions and job title, vs who u are as a person


k that it 4 now...I've learned it is better to b a hermit and not deal with the public, i'm too perfect to deal with them:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

I can relate,

I work at night in a highly customer service oriented job as a hotel manager, but the people I deal with are generally happy drunks and I can tune them out.

One of the perks of working the hours I do, is the grocery, other stores, and the streets, are sparsely populated when I am leaving to go home at 7 am.

I love 7am grocery runs. The alternative is 11pm grovery runs. No lines, no kids running and screaming down the aisles, running into you with the shopping cart... it's great.

The staff in the morning at the grocery at 7 am, is always more friendly, especially to me; since I'm dressed up, in a tie, and such, so I guess they think it's a manager of some sort checking on things. Always cracks me up.

I used to work a second, part-time job in the evenings, so I would stop at the grocery store on my way home, at 10:30 or 11pm. There were ALWAYS several people at the store with babies/toddlers/young children. Even at that late time. Even in the middle of the week.

I also find that when I now stop in the early morning, on my way to work, the cashiers are really slow. Once, it took me 15 minutes to even find a cashier, I could have walked right out of the store with my items, because there was no one at the front!

Now I tend to brave the weeked crowds, and when stupid people jump out in front of me, I just hit them with my cart. I don't speed up and aim for anyone, but if I'm walking along and someone just steps in front of me, I don't stop. Not my fault.

- People who are late. There is nothing more disrespectful then being late. Your time is not more valuable then mine.
- People who don't use signal lights. I just started driving a few years ago and this was one of the first things I noticed. Lots of people dont' signal!!!
- People who make noise when they breath or breath through their mouth. I can't stand it.
- When people dont' have manners. Does it kill you to hold open a door for someone or give up your seat to a old person or say please and thank you. Treat people with respect and respect your elders. It seems kids these days(that makes me sounds really old but i'm only 26) aren't taught manners and its really sad.

hahahah. I know what you mean about this kids these days. I'm only 25, my sister is almost 27 and she doesn't ever say please or thankyou and it drives me insane. I've gotten to the point of being rude to her to try and get her to use them(So far it hasn't worked) and the kids that i work with, they act like elementary school kids.

And the late thing, I was called a habitual late person but in fact I'm hardly ever late. All because of one day when I was building my rabbit shed, after i had told them i was busy they called and wanted me there in an hour(at friends house) and I said I'd try and got there three hours later they called me late, so I've pissed them off a few times being early and they've finally stopped calling me late. I hate late people, it drives me crazy.

3. Whiners. I've worked with kids my age and they are all whiners. 'Oh I squished my finger' and milk it out for another hour. 'Oh this hurts my hands' and make me do it instead, after doing that for over a week straight, didn't matter my hands were aching(Carpel tunnel/tendonitis prone jobs), ick. If I could just slap those little whiney children back to their ages . . . .

4. Tailgaters and People that drive way too slow. Did anyone else ever notice this? If it's not one, then it's the other? IMHO there is a posted speed limit for a reason. The state troopers in my area said 10mph in either direction of the speed limit is acceptable, but those going 35 or 40 in a 55 because they can't really see(Not going after the 'little old lady' thing, i've seen younger kids doing it too because they were talking on their cell phones or texting-yes texting and driving)

5. Things in the wrong place. Gosh that drives me crazy. I was brought up on you put things back where you found them or in their appropriate places. If my bathroom gets out of place, I go on a cleaning/straightening binge. I drive my folks insane with it. I can't stand things where they don't belong, no one dares to put sheets and towles away in 'my closet' in fear of putting them away wrong.

Alot of my little peeves stem from the slightly OCD side of me. my room is organized chaos, but everything else is very organized. I eat M&M's by color, never mixing them; books are in height and type(hard cover or paperback)order. My rabbits are like that as well. All my solid Hollands are together, my brokens, then blue dutch, tort dutch, gray dutch and lastly my steel. my mom thinks i'm just crazy

I rarely drive a cart anymore. I power shop around the obstacles with my hand basket.

LOL I used to work 3rd shift for that very reason, grocery shopping at 2 am on the weekends was perfect!
