Radiance 0 #1 March 10, 2009 What are yours? Mine - when someone posts a new thread and misspells a word in the title. I'm not sure why I find that so annoying, but I do. Guess I'm just a dork that way. Also, when someone (mis)uses the phrase "Nip it in the butt"....We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

MomDaBomb 0 #4 March 10, 2009 When people litter! Especially when they throw things out of the car window or into ocean. My other pet peeve is when people stand in the middle of walk way in a public place for 20 minutes talking to someone they just happened to run into. They don't move to the side to continue their conversation, they stand smack in the middle of the walk way with their strollers and their kids run circles around them while everyone else struggles to get around them. It's so rude! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

popsjumper 2 #8 March 10, 2009 People who scoff at skydiving safety. People too cheap or too lazy to read the SIM. People with no common sense. Dog owners who don't clean up behind their dog. People who don't clean up behind themselves. Borrowers who don't return the borrowed item. Arrogant assholes who love to use the word "ignorant" when they have no clue whatsoever. Arrogant assholes who don't know the difference between ignorant and stupid. Arrogant assholes. Oh hell, this thread got me started. My reality and yours are quite different.

d_squared431 0 #12 March 10, 2009 Groc stores.... When I am in a store shopping and other people see you are trying to get by them, yet they stand in the middle of the isle with their cart and or fat ass so you can't get by. Its like being in the fast lane on the freeway and having someone going 55. I am a fast shopper and like to get in and out in a timely manor. I don't like having to get in the cart derby mood just to navigate from one side of the store to the other. How hard is it for people to actually put their cart in the cart area instead of letting it hit and scratch my car? Every ding and dent in my car are from other people in parking lots and their carts. I think those are this weeks pet peeves....

On the other hand, the counter assistant who insists on giving you verbal instructions while you're using the reader. "Please put your card in." "Please enter your PIN." Yes, I can read and I'm DOING IT, dammit! And when you're paying cash, the way assistants like to put the receipt on your hand and then drop your change onto it so it skates off in every direction. I can understand how if you're working in a shop all day you don't want to keep touching your customers, but still. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baksteen 84 #18 March 10, 2009 Bad table manners +1 Smoking where it's not allowed. The government in it's infinite lack of wisdom has imposed a ban on smoking inside bars. I'm a non-smoker but aginst this. So are smokers. Rather than go have a smoke outside in the cold, people still smoke inside, but leave the door open 'so the inspection won't smell anything'. If you're too lazy to go outside, there's no reason you should bring the outside with you so that I as a non-smoker have freeze my butt off!"That formation-stuff in freefall is just fun and games but with an open parachute it's starting to sound like, you know, an extreme sport." ~mom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmills0705 0 #19 March 10, 2009 Speaking of grocery stores - or department stores for that matter. When your credit or debit card's magnetic strip isn't working. The cashier will swipe it forwards and backwards 17 times. Then they will take out a plastic bag and put it over the card in an effort for the card to be read. They try to swipe it for 5 minutes before manually entering the numbers. It seems like they will put forth a ton of effort to get it to swipe rather than just try once and punch in the digits.
