If you keep a watchful eye out you'll also notice scenes in Law & Order, The Sopranos, and many others!

Sometimes, l felt that way about NYPD Blue's character "Sipowitz."

People who tell you everything else they know about a subject because they don't know the answer to the question you actually asked.

Given that a lot of cis men consider their penises a God-given right, I'd be surprised if many of them consider washing their hands at any time... kinda like washing their hands after touching a statue of Jesus.

I never shake hands with men: whether they be 2 or 100 ( especially if they are 100, lol ). It can get awkward if the proffered hand is out there hanging limply but really, I refuse to be bullied into an apologetic or explanatory stance. "I don't want to shake hands; nothing personal. I just don't want to."


Not good enough? Bring me your"sanitary" hand-wash kit, a paper towel and
then we'll talk .

I'm a big handshaker; however, once the person's back is turned, out quick comes the hand sanitizer. Can't break my habit of character judgement based on eye contact and the quality of a person's handshake for anything. I've tried.

:goodpost:......

I'm not a fan of the adjectives "nice" and "special" or better still, "so special".
Then again, I'm not a fan of folks who say "i'm not a fan of....to explain why they bought their way out of serving during the Viet Nam War.

Commanders -N- Chiefs who sail in a US Navy ship needing another US ship to cover it's identity when sailing past her in foreign waters due to a disagreement with one of a distinguished line of heroes with that name.

Same person, standing in front of WWII hero graves in Normandy France, dissing Congressional Leaders during a speech meant to honor the heroes who were killed to preserve our freedom from tyranny.

These newscasters who feel the need to stand there looking like a complete idiot with their iPad in hand while they've stepped away from the anchor desk to report a story!

R E A L L Y ........you're more than likely reading from a teleprompter, have an earpiece that feeds you info, surrounded by a cast and crew who at least half are glued to their phones, just steps away from technology that spits out any breaking news so... WHY ON EARTH would you feel the need to have that iPad strapped to your wrist? Standing there without that silly iPad, looking distinguished, would give you far more credibility IMHO!

Do you lack trust in others OR are you trying to give us, the views, the impression of the length of you and whatever news-station you're representing their level of dedication to being totally on top of things?

When the person in front of you, typically in grocery checkout line ... doesn't put down one of those... this is my stuff and that's your stuff ... rubber divider thingie behind all their stuff! :blink: lol



Did I develop a new peeve or have people recently stopped bothering with that courtesy? Arg! :fastdraq:

I agree re: men's cleanliness but I actually had an opposite peeve with this Manager years back. All management was expected to arrive early in order to greet associates when they came into work. This bozo would come in every morning and greet all the male Supervisors with a handshake but all the female Supervisors got was good morning. Me... being me... :p ... 'round about the third week, I stuck my hand out hand as I greeted him. I know he was a little embarrassed at first but within a week ... he was shaking the hands of all of his Supervisors.

Side note... that was in Calif and the bozo was from Texas. This incident, his behavior, made me think (again) just how much the South must suck. Cut to today... years later... guess where yours truly now lives?! God's got one hell of a sense of humor! :blink: lol

ugh
 

People who don't realize that a conversation is about talking and LISTENING. Lately it feels like I'm around a lot of people who think a conversation is another word for captive audience. If you are going to go on and on and on please at least be interesting. Then I can applaud when the performance is over. (Yeah just a little bitchy.)

On a lighter note, when I do my "may the perfect parking place be open chant" on my way somewhere then getting to watch another car right in front of me pull into my place. They never even thank me for all my chanting. Ha Ha Ha (Actually, it works 80% of the time)

Opening a bag of chips and finding them all smashed and broken!


I know it's a small thing to some, but I prefer my chips big and fluffy.....LOL

~
 

when I find that and I DO lol Jonathan is great for that ! I use the chip crumbs as a breading, or a filler if not lil man ( Jonathan) tips the bag back and eats them lol I'm right there w/ the broom they always hit the floor lol

A person, usually older that more then likely lived thru the depression but not always, who carefully and painstakingly unwraps their presents so they can re-use the paper!

Bow saving I can understand, but saving wrapping paper to re-use next year, not so much!

Oh, isn't this thread for personal pet peeves which was my understand? My post is ONLY to state it's a pet peeve of mine.

Pet Peeves...
 

People that stand too close.

Especially if I'm in a conversation with someone whether it's a stranger or someone I don't know very well and they step closer to be near me and in my personal space. My personal bubble isn't huge but I do like to have some personal space.

I wonder if people even realize they are doing this and do they even notice when someone steps back away from them because they're too close? eyebrow:

Pet Peeve
 

when you are unloading your groceries on the belt to be checked out and the person behind starts putting theirs there also. Not even a partition put down. I got it the other day and said DO YOU MIND? WAIT!
I really hate this. They like to push their cart closer behind you as well.

It has been my experience that folks personal space may be cultural or a power play. I had a boss that stood on the end of my nose. I could smell her lunch. I believe that for her it was cultural but just to cover myself in case it was about power I never backed up.

If you're making me a BLT.......

Don't overcook the bacon! Put mayo on either the lettuce leaf or tomato slices NEVER on the toast, and ALWAYS cut on the diagonal ...:eating:

My latest pet peeve
 

OK this really gets me. The 8 episode tv series season. I think that's a really shitty way to treat your loyal fans who pay your salary by watching your show. That one gets me lately. Don't give me a little 8 episode teaser then make me wait a fucking year for more.

~~
People sneaking into the "10 items or less checkout lanes" when it's clear they have WAY MORE:readfineprint:

People who count the number of items in my cart. A dozen eggs is not 12 items.

.....:giggle:.....

o 0 (she knows the fixings for a BLT counts as three right?)

Buddy, go buy a BLT. That is cheaper than flying to Texas for me to make you one. You know I that would make you a BLT in a New York minute.

Pet peeves
 

I was told that there are folks that practice passive aggressive behavior on the internet. If the same person posts after your posts than they are shadowing you because they don't like you.

Yeah, I was shocked too.

I'm not sure what (or whom ) you are referring to, but isn't it possible that people are posting after each-other because so few people are posting. Generally, I just post for humour so I hope you are not referring to me.

I think this is true in some cases but I'm with COLLETTE, for me it's ALL about the humor

.....:deepthoughts:....

Perhaps someone passive aggressive put that bug in your ear because they are jealous of all the fun we seem to have???

Folks this was a general comment about something that I heard it is not about my friends here. Just an FYI thing.

That is the best response buddy. Live a happy life.

I agree Jedi. I remember when Mad Men would make you wait and wait and wait until they issued a new season!


Sidebar: Sundance new season of Split only gave us 6 episode!

Able body folks using handicapped sparking space......
 

~~~
Or better even yet is the lack of policing this infraction!

There is usually always a sign stating what the fine is for this, but I have NEVER seen or heard of someone receiving a ticket!

~~~
Plastic beverage bottles! They are getting filmier and filmier.

Even tho water is the only beverage I'll drink out of a plastic bottle, it's irritating when it comes close to overflowing when squeezed too hard or tipping over when you set it down!

I hate this too! My spouse is disabled and I ONLY use the handicapped tag FOR HER. If she’s not with me in the car I will not park in a handicap spot! But people do it all the time and it’s soooo annoying.

I think I may have posted this before:deepthoughts: but one of my biggest pet peeve’s is when people don’t stop at the crosswalk when I have my spouse in her wheelchair. They just blow on by, especially the tourists down at the beach in the summertime!

When someone asks you a question and then starts listing all of the things you might answer with, instead of letting you just answer the question.
