I hate...or pet peeves

Oh, RI drivers are the best---

People who slow down to let you go then speed back up when start to proceed

People who go all the way to the left to make a right hand turn. . .and then make a career out of the turn

People who let their dogs off leash in areas with big signs that say "dogs must be leashed".

People with dogs off leash who cannot control them

People who expect that I speak Spanish

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.

I don't even know what planet you all are from???[8|]

Ok here are some of mine.
 
A big one is def. the shopping carts. Always seems to happen at Walmart, about to pull into a spot...OH nevermind there are three random carts just hanging out in that spot.
 
My dog is part rottweiler (even though he isn't that big), yet people get on the opposite side of the street or say how he looks mean..or the famous "Is he going to bite me?"..Hrm, just for asking that, why don't you find out!
 
My car has those bright bright blind your eyes headlights..not my fault..it was made like that. YET people flash at me or honk their horn thinking I have my brights on. No people, I don't. Although I can show you what my brights look like. ( which I have done.)
 
I'm 22 with two young boys (6 and 2). Older people either a. think I'm crazy b. I was a crazy teenager who  couldn't keep my pants on. or c. feel sorry for me. I don't need your pity. My children are healthy, smart, and the loves of my life...don't feel sorry for me.
 
People who always try to one up you on everything. The know it alls. "I have this terrible cough"...other person "Oh so do I, it's been lasting forever and I have this headache, my whole body aches"...I know a person like this and to everything you say she has something worse going on. I hate it. HATE IT.
 
People who let their dogs run around the neighborhood to chase my child while he's at the park. Not cool.
 
People who think your baby is cute, so that gives them permission to touch your child. NO! Like Kelly Ripa said "I don't know where your hands have been!"
 
Telemarketers (sp?) who don't get the hint "No thank you I'm not interested"..but they still keep on talking. I have resorted to just hanging up.
 
Ok I could go on forever, but I'll stop now while I'm ahead!

I know!! I used to have a friend who said "I can top that" after pretty much anything I said. I'm just trying to have a conversation, not a competition! It could seriously be like "Sorry I'm late, the tube took a while" and she'd say "I can top that! I was stuck for 45 minutes at blahblahblah." Why not just say "Anyway, let's get back to me!"?

I just thought of another one---I'm a vegetarian----and people are constantly asking me if I eat chicken!!!  Is that meat???  [:@]

I hate:
 
...when nose pickers assume you can't see them through their car windows.
 
...when some people have no regard for personal space, like standing in line for a ride at an amusement park.
 
...people who refuse to merge properly onto the highway...when did it become the highway traveler's responsibility to yield to the traffic coming onto the highway? ...I must have missed the memo!
 
...baby on board signs...haven't seen too many these days though.
 
...dogs tethered/or not to the bed of pick-up truck that's whipping around corners and along major routes of traffic & highways...used to see this in Florida all of the time.

ooh people who touch their basket on you when waiting behind you in line at the grocery.  [:@]  I just turn and give them the dirtiest look I can muster, lol... I know I shouldnt but its pretty bad to do that to someone.

I just had to add some! ok soo heres the list
-People who are sooooo materialistic, yes material things are great but should life just be about how many designer clothes or gadgets you have, gosh or if you get new clothes every week and 3 new pairs of shoes for christmas!not everyone in the world is rich please step out of your bubble(not directed at any one I'm just rambling[])
- People who stare! I really hate it people in classes often have a staring contest its crazy.
- When people call you and wait to hear the answering machine and then just hang up! why did you listen if you weren't even going to leave a messeage in the first place!
- People who are hypocrites, i.e. theay say don't do this 10 min. later they're doing it!!! They just make me wanna scream.
- sometimes the government really gets on my nerves, focusing on stupid things , when there are a lot more important things in the world that need to be stopped!(BSL is soooooooo stupid God!)
- dogs that are left on chains their entire lives I just wanna steal them(the dogs)There is a dog who lives across the street looks like a beagle mix is tied outside 24/7, he does have a dog house, but what is the point of even having the dog you're just wasting youre money buying Ol'roy and throwing it out there!Arrgh! lus he barks non stop sometimes I'm surprised  no neighbors have called the police yet.
- People who think just because I'm a teenager means I can't have opinions on world issues I do and I can't wait till I'm old enough to vote. Or that my opinions are stupid because they aren't and make alot of sense at least thats what my gma says[]
- When were at wal-mart and people who are obviously not poor buy ol'roy or beneful. One time I saw this lady who was dressed all rich and everything plop ol roy in her cart!
- My aunt and uncle (i do love them)They keep theyre black lab in a run on the side of the house all day and brinhg him in only right before bedtime!I hate even more the reason she got him like he was disopsable she said well I wanted to expose kyle to dogs again and see how he would be(he has asthma) he is fine but she is a clean freak and won't let him in the house. They keep saying they'll give him to a rescue, or they'll get hima friend to drain some of his energy, uggh it makes me so sad[&o]
WoW I feel like I just had an hour long therapy session[] 

Yeah its hard not to say anything when I see someone grab a HUGE bag of Kibbles n Bits at Wally World.[>:]

you all reminded me of a few more...
 
I hate when i'm in a pedestrian crosswalk and a car goes anyway, i hate it when i'm behind someone on an escalator and when they get off they just stand at the very bottom and look around like a dumba$$...i actually ran into someone a few weeks ago because they were just standing there, and there was someone behind me and i had nowhere to go. I hate people who always think that they're sick. I hate it when people let their little dogs jump and yap at the end of their leads toward kaiser, but as soon as kaiser barks back, they get all pissy. I definitely hate it when men whistle or hollar at me...i usually flip them off. I also hate when a customer at work WHISTLES at me to get my attention...i'm not a dog.

<-I hate people who wear birkentocks, I dont know why, I'm sorry if you do but UGH!>

Well, you're gonna hate me!  I don't wear anything else because everything else hurts my feet! I can wear tennies for about an hour, but they hurt for quite awhile after that.

As for the DIET Coke, I can't have SUGAR. I can have meat and fats, so when I go to fast food place, I get a regular size fries, a cheese burger and a DIET Coke.  if I don't get this, I have to get WATER because nothing else is sugar free.

Peeves?  People who don't use their turn signals! Since very car made in the past sixty-some-odd years in this country has come equipped with them, USE THEM, A**HOLE!! As for going by me at 95, you are not as important as you think you are! I usually go 5-10 over the limit and I don't care if you speed (to a point), but don't try to kill the rest of us on the way!  FWIW, I move over--it's YOUR funeral if you want to drive 95.  The ticket in my state for going this fast is over 1000.00!

The people who buy Ol' Roy and drive off in their 75,000.00 cars bug me too.What's worse, are the Iams/Eukanuba snobs who look down on me because they have bought the advertising that these companies pump out.

Another one that bugs me are people who change their kid's diapers and  LEAVE them for someone else to deal with[:'(].  I had TWO in diapers at the same time and used cloth at home.  On the rare occasion I used a disposable, I would carefully dispose of it.

I am allergic to many things and people think I WANT to smell their God-awful perfumes/cigars, etc.We have a patron who comes in every week who wears perfume that makes me wheeze.

Stores that don't allow dogs in shopping carts (the little guys) because it's "unsanitary" but allow parent to put a green-nosed, leaky-diapered toddler in the same cart!  Hey, my dog is cleaner than almost any kid out there and her manners are substantially better!  When my kids were small, I confined them TO the carts and they were CLEAN before we went!They are still well-behaved in the stores now. My DSs always wanted to know why our dogs coudln't come in the stores, but the (in their words) "bratty kids" could.

-I hate skinny girls who say "i'm so fat" I have weighed no more then 107 my whole life so if 90lbs girl is complaining she is fat I wanna slap her too. Grow up, eat a cheeseburger

OMG! I also hate when skinny people call themselves fat and when pretty people call themselves ugly.
-I hate when poeple say they're ugly or fat just to get compliments.
-I hate it when Maisie pees everytime someones say "Hi" or looks at her [8|] lol
-I hate that people naturally have hair on their legs and that I have to shave.
-I hate people who wear their clothes twice and then buys new stuff.
-I hate people that hate everything.
-I hate little kids that know too much for their age.
-I hate that Christmas is turning materialistic, and most people won't admit that they think it's all about presents.
-I hate it when Maisie poops when I leave her alone.
-I hate people that like say like like every other word in their like sentence. like.
-I hate people who breed dogs irresponsibly and I hate that everyone but me in my family wants to breed Maisie so we can get money off her puppies.
-I hate that Maisie came into heat the day of her spay appointment.
-I hate that stupid Maltese that keeps crawling under the fence trying to get Maisie pregnant.
-I hate when people say they hate their parents because they don't know if they'll even be there tomorrow.
-I HATE HATE HATE people that think pitbulls are horrible cretures and they kill anything they touch.
-I hate people who pick their nose. Especially in public.[:'(]
-I HATEEE scraping silver ware *shiver*
-I hate overweight dogs.
-I hate people who swear because they think it makes them look cool.
-I hate Ol' Roy dog food.
-I hate people that call my dog Toto[:@]


I think thats about it. []

-I hate that people naturally have hair on their legs and that I have to shave.

 
No you don't! Just stop doing it. I stopped my freshman year of college after realizing that at the end of they day, men really don't care. They want to get laid and hairy legs really aren't going to deter them. [sm=rofl.gif]  Also, I find the whole hairless thing a little creepy. Prepubescent girls are hairless. Women aren't. If a guy wants to be with a woman and not a girl, I'm down with that. Otherwise, move along.
 
I shaved my pits for my wedding because my mom would have had a heart attack if I didn't (sleevless dress) but other than that, the only person who uses razors in this house is DH.

Driving:

• I hate when I'm ready to pull out of a parking lot and into the turning lane, but some doofus dragasses around, knowing I'm waiting on them to go by.
• I hate when I'm driving along, minding my own business, when someone darts over from the fast lane, through my lane, and another lane, just so they can make their exit. 
  
• I hate when someone honks at me when I slow down for yellow lights.  Red light cameras have been installed at major intersections in the city, and I'm not in the mood for a fat ticket.
• I hate when someone watches me approach from a long distance, but decides to pull out in front of me when I get close to them.  Even worse, they do not speed up.

General:

• I hate when people take up an aisle at Wal-Mart with their buggies, wild kids, and themselves.  They stand around and chit-chat, even though I'm trying to get past them. 
  
• I hate when people go through the "10 items or less lane," but they have 20 items in their cart.
• I hate when people use Wal-Mart's self check outs, but they have no idea what they're doing. 
  
• I hate when someone has an item with no barcode or the scanner doesn't read the barcode.  Instead of putting it aside, they insist on holding up everyone else.
• I hate when people walk away from me when I'm walking Roxie.  I assume they do this, because she has some rottweiler in her.  I also hate when they ask if she's aggressive.  Idiots.
• I hate when the cable guy says he'll be at your home at 9 a.m., but doesn't show up.  He calls you later and says he'll be there at 3 p.m.  Again, he doesn't show.  Well, you get another call and he promises to be there the next morning at 9 a.m.  The jerk doesn't show again, but magically appears at noon, when you're walking out the door to go somewhere. 
  
• I hate how people automatically assume I'm a barefoot hillbilly with little or no education, simply because I've always lived in Tennessee.  And yes, we do have indoor plumbing, electricity, and plenty of modern marvels.
• I hate people who tell me my religious beliefs are wrong.  These are the same Bible thumping fools who get plastered on Saturday night and go to church on Sunday morning, thinking they're fine and dandy folks.
• I hate people who tell me I need to "get saved," even though I am, by my own beliefs, "saved" from whatever hell they think I'm destined to see.
• I hate people who live their lives in a miserable facade, hiding their true lives from others.  It's better to be you, rather than put on a fancy show. 
  
• I hate when women are submissive to their boyfriends or husbands.  Husbands and wives (boyfriends and girlfriends) should walk beside one another, not in front of or behind the other. 
  
• I hate that families struggle on a pathetic minimum wage that is behind inflation.  I love that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid want to change that, though.
• I hate baseball and its greedy players.
• I hate the Iraq War and the waste of taxdollar money because of it. 
  
• I hate that teachers are not paid as well as other professions, including my own.
• I hate exorbitant tuition prices and being forced to take out student loans.

I need to stop, because that is too much "hatred".  Even though I've listed many "hates," I'm not a negative person.  I guess it just blows up when one actually thinks about the pet peeves.

I hate when people go through the "10 items or less lane," but they have 20 items in their cart.

 
you guys have "10 items or less" lanes? man, i sure wish they had that here... it would save me years of my life that i spend waiting in line. then again, noone would actually pay attention to that here anyways... oh well..
