I hate...or pet peeves

Sorry, we won't give 2.54 cm (1 inch).

[&o] sigh...

Xebby, I feel your pain (RE: speaking Spanish) but in the opposite way.  I speak Spanish and the people around here assume I can NOT since I am Caucasian and not Hispanic! ROFLLL  I have heard the most interesting conversations when people don't realize I know what they are saying.

I hate it when people whine that they have no money, but they can smoke a cigarette and drink a Pepsi while they are telling me this.  Their cell phone is going off and they are wearing $200.00 shoes and are driving a car that is at least eight years newer than mine!

All your hate lists are great....
 
Here are some of mine...
* I have a low tolerance for stupidity
*I hate people who don't signal and make crazy lane changes
*I hate customers who try to return things with no receipt and no tickets attached and expect me to remember how much something was that they bought 3 months ago....my store is 60,000 square feet....HELLO.....
*I hate people who stop directly in front of you at the mall and then give you a dirty look when you walk into the back of them....
*I hate people who assume that because my dogue is huge, that he's dangerous...
*I hate people who drink and drive
*I hate people who make fun of disabled people....
I'm sure I'll think of some more....
 
 
 

I hate vacuums that don't pick up anything.
 
I hate when people I'm pet sitting for don't leave enough food for the pets while they are gone.

[sm=rotfl.gif] Yes, this one is very true for me.  I have a cousin with no job, yet she has the best clothes, the newest phone, a nice apartment, and a brand new car.  How?  Her parents foot the damn bill for everything, including her monthly bills.  It's annoying when she complains about having no job and how she gets bored sitting on the couch all day.  I've been tempted to strangle her, but that would ruin family gatherings.

This happened to me ALL the time when I lived in Miami.  I am a fair skinned, blue-eyed, blonde and as gringa looking as they come.  I was married to a Cuban and spoke perfect Spanish.   The best incident was when I was trying on dresses in a department store.  I would come out in a dress and the sales ladies would smile at me and say "very pretty" - THEN they would insult me in Spanish!!!!   They'd say things like - "she has legs like a table", or "she looks like a skinny boy".  HAHA. 
 
I'll add to the pet peeve list:
 
* Tourists who walk very slowly forming a human "wall" forcing me into traffic to pass them! 
* Those who work in the service industry and clearly HATE people!  (what is UP with that??)
* Dog haters
* Close-mindedness

Hahahaha...omg, you all still have me rolling around with fits of laughter...honestly!  I have really enjoyed this thread.  Even with all the brutal honesty, truth, "negativity and hatred"  [sm=biggrin.gif] it is VERY therapeutic.  Misery loves company.  Laughter IS healing.  Thank you!  [sm=angel.gif]

I HATE seeing people driving around with their dog/s in the back of a pick-up truck. There are probably laws against it, but they're not enforced.
 
I HATE getting to the check-out (and this usually happens at Wal-Mart) and having something that doesn't scan - and the checker looks at me and asks "Do you know how much this is?" Suuuure I do.  I memorize the prices in front of everything that goes in my cart for just this occasion.
 
I HATE rare or medium meat of any kind.  If I'm going to eat meat at all (most of the time I don't) it has to be really, really well done - all the way through.

Hmmm... Lets see.

I hate people that have to insert a swear word in between every third word.  C'mon people, no one can get past the swearing to actually listen to what you have to say.  And it makes you sound stupid.
I hate seeing people pushing a cart full of Ol'Roy and a big box of Milkbones out of Walmart.
I hate seeing obese labs and rotties, as seems to be the trend lately.
I hate it when people only hear the first sentance of what you are saying, which reminds them of something, so they just stare at you blankly until your lips stop moving so they can tell you their own story.  This story is usually way better than your story because they of course have to one up you.  You know like you say,"My friend's bf just got her a full carot diamond ring for her birthday." and the other person says,"Well My friend's fiance just got her a 3 carot diamond ring plus a matching set of earings and pendant, while on her Birthday cruise to Jamaica."
I hate that people think Toronto is just a hop skip and a jump from where I live.  C'mon it takes me 2 and a half days to drive there for pete's sake!
I hate the expression For Pete's Sake!  Who the heck is Pete?

Ok Deep Breath.

LOL.  A couple of weekends ago I saw a young couple searching for Christmas gifts for their dogs.  They bought coats and toys and treats and then had a big bag of Ol' Roy in the cart.  I wanted to say, "If you really want to give your dog a Merry Christmas and a longer life, put one of the coats back and spend your money on something other than the worst dog food ever."  But I didn't.  My husband saw it too and laughed at me for fumming over it.  Come on, how dumb can you be.  When you buy a peice of furniture, you don't buy the cheapest thing, you buy the best quality you can afford otherwise it will fall apart. Wouldn't you do the same with your dogs diet?

People pet peeves:

• It's so sad to see a customer treat a cashier badly. I've been there and know how it feels.

Yes that too.  I believe that everyone should have to work 6 months of their life in retail or restaurant service.  I think that all 16 year old should have to do this for high school credit.  Stupid rich people who didn't have to work until they graduated from college and then got a job with thier parents firm or company.  Or rich woman who never had to work.  Grrr.

Yesterday, while I was in one of my clients stores, a lady wanted to buy a rabbit cage for her dog non the less, but she wanted the store to take out the grate on the bottom of the cage that comes with the cage and then discount the cage because it didn't have a grate in it.  What?   That's like buying a cheese burger, asking for it without the cheese and then wanting a discount because it doesn't have cheese.  

Or how bout' customers that come in with a question they really should ask an expert.  Like..."my dog has a rash.  Maybe you'd know what it is.  What do I need to buy to get rid of the rash."  Uh, you should see a vet. 

Even worse yet, when they come in to ask a question that they really should ask an expert.  By chance, you know the answer, you give it to them, and they don't like it.  Like.."My cat has a urinary tract infection.  What do I feed it."  Me - " Canned food because it has more moisture and... you should also use unscented cat litter because..."  Customer: "I'm not feeding it canned food.  Canned food smells...I'm not going to use unscented cat litter. Without the perfumes the urine will reak up the house."  Urg[:@]

i hate that too. but on the contrary i hate when service people treat the costumers bad. i used to work in a bar, and the only time i got impolite with a costumer was when they were hitting on me beyond what is appropriate..
 
and i did blow off at a waitress last night for taking away my beer when there was still some in it. i mean i know it's cheap, but come on! what's the rush!! i hate when they do it. i understand, when it's really really full and you're running out of glasses. but it was NOT full and it was bottled beer!!
 
hmm, i stop now.... lol

I hate picking up dog poop in my yard that doen`t belong to Molly.
 
I hate people that run over a animal and leaves it on the road to get run over again,and again,and again.
 
I hate people that let their animals run loose so that they can get run over on the road.
 
I hate people that put their dog in the back of their pickup while driving down the road 65 - 70 miles a hour. No crate just a free running around dog in the back.
 
I hate people that take their dog to a shelter because they are moving and don`t want to take Pluto with them. Would they do that to their kids?
 
I hate people that leave their dogs outside day and night 24/7.
 
I could go on and on and on.
