I hate...or pet peeves

I cant stand when people look at me for a long period of time.

 
I'm happily married. I don't stray and I don't stare. The only woman I want in my life is DW. Please, keep that in mind.
 
Have you ever seen a pink and purple sunset? A rainbow in the mountains after a storm? The dogs in "8 Below" running at 40 mph across the snow?  In Texas, in spring, many people stop and stare at the the blooming of Bluebonnets (our state flower) and Indian Paintbrushes, another popular wild bloom. It is a natural human reaction to stare at something or someone of great beauty.
 
You are burdened with a great, natural beauty. And that is why people stare. And I don't care if you were fishing for a compliment, or not. A truth is a truth, no matter how uncomfortable it may be. You don't have a wart on your face or a habit of having boogers hang out of your nose, something easy to pin the stares on. You are a beautiful woman and such is your lot in life.
 
No one knows that the "beautiful" people can be just as insecure. Many jealous people, sometimes including members of the family, will say mean things as they think it's their "duty" to keep you from "getting a big head." As if the possibility of you getting conceited or appreciating your own beauty is a fate worse than thermonuclear war.
 
I'm not saying that people should continue to stare. But that's the instinctual reaction.
 

I hate when my feet hurt. (Maybe I'll try some Birkenstocks)
I hate Wal-Mart
I hate auto mechanics who try to sell you services you don't need
I hate discrimination whether it be breed discrimination, race, religious, sexual orientation etc.
I hate people who have their dogs off leash in a leash only area then can't or won't call them back
I hate people who can afford nice homes, cars, big screen TV's etc.,but can't manage a vet bill
I hate peanut butter. I like peanuts but they must not be mushed up.
 
I HATE and reserve the very deepest rungs of hell for those who profit from puppy mills.
I Hate all breeding for profit.
I hate people who fail to spay neuter.
I HATE, HATE, HATE that millions of loving pets are euthanized every year.

I hate people who can afford nice homes, cars, big screen TV's etc.,but can't manage a vet bill

I HATE and reserve the very deepest rungs of hell for those who profit from puppy mills.
 

I really, really agree with those two.

Ok here are mine:
 
Misc.
- My biggest is I hate people that are mean to old people.  I will never forget when a grocery checkout clerk said something completely rude to my 98 year old granny (she didn't realize I was with her) and I have never let loose on someone like that before.  I want to see what these people are going to be like in 60 years and how fast they move!
- People who don't say thank you when you open the door for them
- People who cut you off in traffic or don't let in just because they are on some kind of power play
 
Work
- People who are consistently late for work but leave for home on time.  5 - 10 minutes fine, but I used to work with this person who lived 5 minutes away, no kids, no pets, but would walz into work 40 minutes late every day [:@]
- Clients who think they can request something at 5:00 pm and still get it today.
 
Pets
- People who don't treat their pets as part of the family
- People who let their dogs poop on my yard and don't pick it up
- Strangers who try to hug Charlie without asking and then act put off if he tries to get away from them
- People who leave their dogs outside when it is 5 degrees out!!![:@]

Yes, indeedy, your sore footies need to walk in these! [sm=wink2.gif]

Thanks Ron.[]
 
Im the last person to be fishing for compliments.  I do have serious self image/self esteem issues, I guess thats why I get so nervous when people stare.  I feel like Im going to have an anxiety attack.  Actually, at a bar playing pool one night I started shaking.  It really freaked me out.  I had never "physically" reacted to it, and havnt again since then, although it has always really messed with my head. 
 
I dont like for the attention to be on me, good or bad.  It makes me nervous.  Its not that Im think Im ugly necessarily... I dunno, but its like if people are looking then I have to worry about everything.  Everything has to be perfect, its stressful.  I dont know why I feel that and its stupid. 
 
Thank you tho, I can say that Im sure sometimes they are thinking what you said but it makes no difference to me, I still have a really hard time handling it.  Maybe if I can work through some of my stuff it wont be as bad.  Lets hope cause Ive been trying lately.[]
 
And I do, when people stare, start going to the bathroom to check my face or start fooling with my hair every two seconds.... or feel stupid when I talk, or move.  The whole booger on your face thing[8D].  I just wanna sink into the floor.  I guess these poor people cant possibly know how its affecting me.  So thats my own issue.  Thanks for making me think more about it.  Im really blaming others for something internal that I need to address.

I forgot the pitt bull one.  I hate that they have such a bad rep and that most people are too closed minded to listen to anything different.[>:]
 
 

People who expect that I speak Spanish

I get that one all the time! Then when I tell them I don't speak spanish they ask "why not, I thought you were Hispanic?" I am hispanic but that doesn't mean I know spanish!

-I hate how people think that New Mexico is not a state, they think I live in Mexico... (anouther reason people think I should speak spanish)

-I hate neighbors who throw their trash into my yard and let their puppys squeez threw the fence and poop in my yard. (so glad they are fianlly moving at the end of the month!)

-I hate how it's exspected for women to look like the skiny girls in the magazines, and how so many woman think they are fat because of it. (I have a friend who I'm really concerned about because she thinks she's fat because she doen't look like a super model, she goes days without eating...I'm trying to get her some help)

Driving
-I hate how people will speed, going almost 50mph in a 25mph residental zone.

-I hate people who run a stop sign when they know it's there. They will slow down just enough to show they know it's there but will not come to a compleat stop.

-I hate people who drive with their brights on, on a busy road.

-I hate people who will speed up when you try to pass them

-I hate people who drive with their dogs in the bed of a truck with nothing but metal for them to sit on and do not tie them down.

dogs
-I hate how people refuse to pay a vet bill and have the dog put down only to go out and buy anouther puppy for more than the vet bill would have cost to fix their older dog.

-I hate how people breed dogs every heat without concern for the dog's health but love the money they get from it.

-I hate how people can't read dog language and think my dog is going to kill them when all she wants to do is play.

-I hate how people buy a dog without doing their research first.

-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.

Yes, yes, yes!!! I HATE shaving. So I don't, unless I have to (ie: friend's wedding). I know how to shave, but I still get bad razor burn, bumps and dry skin. Then I itch and look like some sort of diseased freak. I'd rather be hairy. And my husband doesn't care at all, either. He thinks it's funny. I have some intense leg hair, too. Me woman! Me proud! []




Oh, by the way, I've seen this mentioned a couple times -

I LOVE when people pick their noses in their cars, unaware that I can see them. It always makes me laugh so hard. []

Not that I dont totally understand the not wanting to shave but how do you go out in the summer?  Wear skirts or shorts, or sleeveless shirts?  Do you wear only pants or just it all out there, lol?[] 

Not knocking you guys for your choice or anything, so I hope Im not offending anyone by asking. []

I HATE it when people lick their fingers before sorting thru papers or money!

I remembered some more today.  I'm such an asshole.

I hate when cashiers are coughing, sneezing, and hacking around and they INSIST on touching your hand when giving change.  The money is already contaminated and I'll have to get the Purell out in a hurry, but I don't want them touching me!

I hate when someone uses the restroom and walks out without washing their hands.  Worse, I hate when these disgusting cretins give me weird looks when I use a handful of paper towels (that were used to dry my washed hands) to open the door to avoid their filth.  Even worse, I hate when a restroom is equipped with air dryers, and I have to use my sleeve to open the door.  I LOATHE PUBLIC RESTROOMS!!!  VILE!!!

LMAO!!!!  It bleeped out A-hole.  How funny.  I've never been bleeped on this forum before, but there's a first time for everything, I guess.

OH!!! i just thought of one!
