I hate...or pet peeves

Though I've used the sound only a few times and in honor and reference to my friend, Lee, I very much dislike when some person, for any silly reason, says "Hooyah". That is the response and battle cry of the Navy SEALs. You shouldn't say it unless you've earned the right to say it, as in surviving BUD/s and being on a team.
 
I can't understand how someone can push a loaded shopping cart around for an hour, go out to their car and unload it, and can't push the EMPTY cart 20 more feet to the cart corral.
 
When I was 18, I worked for a while on the maintenance crew at a shopping mall (circa 1982). I had to clean the bathrooms. How is it that some can spatter-blast the entire stall with #1 and #2 and not clean it up? Or, they soiled their underwear, take it off and leave it there and can't take it 10 feet to the trash can? Related to that, it used to bother me when someone acted like they had to tell you how to wipe your own butt until I realized there are people who don't know how.
 
I, too, hate when someone drives like a maniac to get in front and then slow down, just so that they can be in front, winning at all costs. I usually go about 5 over the limit. When someone gets right on my tail, then, when I have passed the slower traffic and can move over, I ... take ... my ... t ... i ... m ... e. I agree with slower traffic keep right but that doesn't mean some self-important twit has the right to do 80 or 90.
 
I can't stand a bully. I get right in their face and call their bluff, which is usually what it is. The smart ones back off because they guess correctly that I have what it takes to back it up.

I thought I was the only one.

 
Ed, neither you nor Anne are at all alone there. I like nuts. I like chocolate. I do not like them to fratenize in any way.

People who stand all the way across escalators. It's stand right, walk left!

 
Not sure but I think this might be a culture clash between city and suburbs? When I lived in Boston everyone knew stand right, walk left... recently I visited friends in Syracuse NY and EVERYONE just stood all over the escalator - two hours in the mall and I did not see a single person walk up or down an escalator!
 

Yup, I really hate it when you go into a ladies room and someone has straddled the seat and left "raindrops" all over it.  Yuk.

 
Oh boy, HUGE pet peeve, man I almost forgot about that one. I call it The Hover and it drives me crazy. If we all sit down there will be no pee on the seat, ladies! Please! One squeamish girl busts out The Hover and then the rest of us all are stuck doing The Hover too (or mopping pee off the seat). Blech.

One major advantage that Asian and some European toilets have over North American ones: if there ain't no seat to sit on, you never have to worry about the sprinkle. I actually really grew to love the squatter commode while living in China. In places with questionable sanitation, a hole in the ground will do just fine for me thanks. I don't have to touch anything with any part of my body to use a hole.

I don't have to touch anything with any part of my body to use a hole.

 
You wilderness girl. Ride elephant. Walk cheetah. Find hole. Good ...[]

Ben Mulroney. Isn't there ANYONE else available to host things involving celebrities on television?

 
LOL thank you! I didnt even know his name and I already knew who you were talking about! Whats it about him that makes him so appealing for him to be hired for every celebrity orientated show?
 
I don't drive so I don't have any experienced pet peeves, although I can relate because things like the music so loud your windows are vibrating.. Imagine how loud it must be for them. They're going to be deaf in the next 3 yrs. [&:]
Hm..
- Ignorance & Stupidity. Although I admit I've been guilty of it a few times..
- Orange juice without pulp. Most people hate it but it's my favourite part in orange juice.
- Religious Extremists. I'm all for people having their own religion, but keep it to yourself, it's a personal thing and not everyone believes in what you do.
- I work at a fast food restaruant and I'm frequently in drive-thru. Tons of people ignore what you say and chat on their phone. You're in drive-thru can you stop your conversation for a couple minutes to order? [:@]
- When people slap their change onto the counter. What?? Don't want to touch my hand? Don't expect me not to do the same thing to your change.
- When customers tell me what a 'regular' is. (I work in tim hortons, a regular is a coffee with 1 cream 1 sugar). Apparently the customers know better, and a Regular is apparently coffee with nothing in it. I just work here, i dun no notin.
- (Ok, I'm probably bad for doing this but...) When people give me rude looks for picking up my pomeranian when their big stocky lab comes running up to her, pawing at her like mad, scaring her sh**less.
- Maybe this is just my age group, but when people judge you based on what you listen to. [8|] Music elitists.
- When people think that having a huge fat lab is the proper weight for their dog.
- How I'm stuck caring for my sisters animals.
 
Thats all for now..

First to comment on already said things:  I always biggie size (or whatever my orders) and always get a diet coke.  A large coke is about 350 more calories, and yeah it does help to avoid that.  I also get diet because drinking that much sugar would cause me serious issues later with my low blood sugar, and since thats all I ever drink (diet), I simply prefer the taste. 

I also hate nuts mixed with things, especially brownies, I do like nuts alone tho.



I hate:

People who pass judgement on others.  Its so easy to sit there and point out others faults and say how they should be doing things and all that.  Come on, get a life, get a hobby, get a brain.

People who think they KNOW for a fact that their religion is correct and everyone else is wrong and gonna go to hell.[8|]  Geez, you must be special because no one ever came down to tell me personally, as far as I knew we all just thought what we thought (yes that includes you too, lol).[8|]

Men who say things to you when you walk by.  I swear one day Im gonna punch someone right in their face.  What NERVE!  "Hey baby".  [:@]  It irks me like you would not believe, the audacity to feel like you can speak to me, someone you dont know, in such a lewd digusting horny old man creepy sort of way is sickening.  The day I do punch one of em it will be beautiful.

The biggest thing for me, and DH can attest to it, lol... when people stare.  I cant stand when people look at me for a long period of time.  I want to cry.  Its a strange reaction but when I know someone just keeps looking at me I get so frustrated, like Im being violated or something.  Didnt your mother tell you not to stare!?  Ill be getting gas or something and someone may be looking the entire time like Im some sort of circus freak.  Boils my blood.

I dunno I guess it may be the area I live in and the shamless people but my goodness I find men to be disgustingly disprspectful in that sense.

I hate when people leave their dogs outside all the time. 

I hate when people seem to think of giving their dog away as an answer to a problem.

I hate when your on the phone and the person keeps talking to someone else when it could wait.

I hate when men curse in front of me and then apologize.

I'll stop now lol.

I HATE peas in things. Peas ruin a good dish. Snow peas and sugar snap peas still in the pod are fine, but I want no truck with regular garden peas. There's a thing called a pie floater over here, which is a meat pie with the meat "floating" in mashed peas. That fills me with horror.

I also hate lumps in mashed potato and hot custard *shudders*.

I get very peeved about bigotry. I especially get peeved about religious folks who think gay people and women have no business preaching. As if that portion of the population aren't qualified to understand religious teachings well enough to pass them on to others. Come on, guys, get with the times.

People's feet near my face make me extraordinarily uncomfortable. If they get near my mouth I usually violently push them away with revulsion. Human feet are seriously disgusting and the very thought of them near my face grosses me out.

People that can't be bothered to do a job right the first time because they'd prefer to spend hours painstakingly fixing it up later.

People that refuse to take the slightest amount of responsibility for their actions. Just because no one saw you do it doesn't make it acceptable.

Pop culture! I went to Comic Con this year and was pretty disappointed by the sheer volume of pop culture. Since when was a comic convention the place to dress up as Harry Potter or a Storm Trooper?

Drama queens.

People that think they're experts on everything when they didn't even finish high school.

Driving peeves include people that don't indicate and people that desperately overtake you, throwing their safety and mine to the wind, only to immediately get stuck behind the next car on the road because, surprise surprise, we're all doing the speed limit and there's only one lane anyway. I hate people that pressure me into speeding to overtake someone by tailgating me. You can damn well wait until I've overtaken at a speed I'm comfortable at. I'm already over the speed limit, so just have some patience.

My dog peeves are people who won't let their dogs talk to mine on walks. And the people who own that drop dead gorgeous collie cross that moves like he's a ballerina and made for the show ring if he wasn't a cross, but don't bother to keep him in. He poops enormous, sloppy poops on our driveway every morning. It's flick them off with a stick or get them on your tyres when you leave for work.

Pet related pet peeves:

• People who breed their pets.
  
• People whp buy pet store puppies.
  
• Commericials this time of year that show "the puppy under the tree" with a big red bow (grrrr).
  
• People who let their dogs jump on me (it's very painful, most dogs hit EXACTLY where I had major surgery and it's still very sensitive) - which isn't so bad, but then they instruct me on how to train their dogs ("Just grab their paws/step on their hind feet/slap their face/say 'no!'/here's a clicker, click when he gets down").
  

Driving pet peeves. Not many, I'm trying to get over my former bad attitudes and I think I"m succeeding at laughing at most people instead of getting mad. Still makes me pretty mad though:

• People who drive with kids in the back of pickups (for that matter, unsecured pets in the back of pickups scare me too).
  
• Schoolbuses that drive recklessly. Yup, they do.
  
• People who run me down or flash their lights or even honk when I'm passing in the PASSING lane. It's not a FAST lane folks, it's a passing or through traffic lane. It's not the autobahn, it's there so people can get out of the way of people who are merging, in the city, or to ensure the flow of traffic when people are poking along in the righthand lane. I usually pass at a safe speed, too, around ten miles over the speed limit, so it's not like I'm creating problems. This one is borderline - it only makes me mad if I've got the kids in the car and the idiot concerned "teaches me a lesson" by whipping around on the right side and cutting me off by inches (we are all going freakin' 80 mph, you understand).
  

People pet peeves:

• It's so sad to see a customer treat a cashier badly. I've been there and know how it feels.
  
• I hate to see children treated like second class citizens. Often by their parents. Not to say their parents' life should revolve around the kids, but the kids should feel a part of the family rather than be a thing that is shuttled from place to place.
  
• It annoys me when people who claim to be tolerant then have a zillion things they find wrong with the way I choose to practice my religion. Like sharing the good news, going to a church where we will only choose to be led by a likeminded preacher, believing in One Way, and believing that God is an infinite yet personal Being Who has chosen to communicate to us through the Bible. Well? If all religions are to be equally tolerated, I can never understand why my own gets so much flack (and why no one ever "gets it" that it might be just as offensive as ragging on Buddists or First Nations).
  

I hate people in general( there are some good ones though[]), the human race is so cruel.
 
People being irresponsible ticks me off, it usually affects everything they do, how kids are being raised, animals being taken care of, just about everything going wrong can be traced back to irresponsibility.
 
My biggest is, older people driving.
I was hit by an old lady who should not have been driving, when I asked her if she didn't see me, her response was " NO", and got mad at me for asking.
At the time I was driving a cherry red Probe GT, you could not miss it.
So, elderly people in Buicks, trucks or SUVs, simply scary.

Pet-related:

-People who try to tell me, without being asked, methods for training my dogs. Especially methods that involve hitting/choking/etc.
-People who assume that because Balto is part Rottie, he is mean
-People who allow their small dogs to be hellions because they don't want to train them. Small dogs are still DOGS. They need training.
-People who come to the dog park and leave their dog on-leash the whole time. It's an OFF-LEASH PARK. If your dog is aggressive, don't bring it! And dogs are usually MORE afraid when they're on the leash because they can't get away. Just let them off and keep an eye on them.
-Designer dogs
-People who think they can just get two purebreds and start having puppies, or that because they bought a purebred, they "need" to breed it.
-Pet stores that sell puppies, puppy mills, etc
-People who encourage bad behavior in their dogs because they think it's "cute."

General:
-People who assume things about me based on my age. I graduated HS at 16. My mom died when I was 17, I've been living on my own since then. I am *not* your average 21-year-old.
-People who intentionally speed up so you can't merge in traffic
-People who have NO idea that tact is something you should use frequently
-Racism, bigotry, etc
-People who assume that my political views are based on "what's cool" or any other trend. No. They are not. I'm a big girl! I think for myself!
-People who always make fun of/talk about hating hippies. I love hippies. They're good people, and most of them smell fine. []
-Not having clean socks when it's cold outside.

hey you lived in china? cool. anyways, i share your views on "chinese" toilets. most people think i lived here for too long. but come on... it's just common sense []

I can't stand that the stoplight and the don't walk light aren't the same colors.

I thought I was the only one.

Ed, neither you nor Anne are at all alone there. I like nuts. I like chocolate. I do not like them to fratenize in any way.

I feel honored to be in such company!  And I love the way you put that.

hehehehe me too.  my favorite nuts are Brazilian Nuts, such a buttery creamy taste.

to the traffic pet peeves I am going to add:  I hate people who almost stop their cars to make a right turn. 

to the people pet peeves:  I hate it when people assume that just because my skin color is honey colored and my hair is black I am Mexican (nothing against Mexican people, love the country, culture and food) but come on now.  I am Spaniard. 

and the dogs:  people who walk their dogs on a flexi lead and don't know how to use it.

ooohhh to the people one:  people who take their newbor babies or don't know how to act in public kids to movies, restaurant etc, and expect you to put up with their " bs"  just because they are kids.  STAY HOME, or FIND A BABYSITTER. [:@][:@][:@][:@]

I just remembered one more about people.  This is when I was working at a call center:

People who complain about holding for 30 mins or longer just so that when you asked for their info they would say:  " oh I am not prepared for that" and they would take forever finding it.  Well idiot, maybe that is why you held that long, because everyone calls in to complain about their cc statement but don't have any info ready and start searching after having rambled for 15 mins how they had to hold for 30 + mins for someone to answer the phone[:@][:@][:@]
