Pet Peeve

friends who smoke and leave their butts in the ashtrays on the porch instead of emptying them - garbage can is only a few feet away - worse, thumping butts out in the yard.

Tossing gum out the window while driving - little birds die from eating gum

Flicking cigarettes out the window while driving.

Tossing any kind of trash out the window when driving

Going to Lowes or Home Depot and or Target (looking at Wolfy) (smooch) not finding one single person to help

Drinking out of a milk carton in my refrigerator

someone sending email to work when you've ask them not to more than once

(I'll stop - for now)

oh Lady R....I have laid on my horn when I see people throw things out the window in the car in front of me..I mean LAY IT ON. For a long time...this is my Mother and I dont want her trashed...

I dont like smudgey eyeglasses. Its hard to talk to someone when their lenses need cleaned!

I dont appreciate when people who work on my property toss their cigarettes on the ground.

and come summer, people who trash up their yards with every imaginable yard decoration there is known to Kmart....

One of my worst peves is a dirty kitchen,it is so easy to clean as you go insted of doing it later or not till more mess is made.I had a neighbor who had a big problem with this issue big time,I went to her house(the first time) for a pflag meeting she had rinced a glass out of a pile of dirty dishes in the sink then made me a glass of ice tea..I thought I was going to puke...I promiss the meeting was a short one.
Another peve is people not takeing a bath insted they pour on the scents to cover up the B.O. wich makes it way worse,personal cleanlyness is should be a priority imho.

I'm not fond of seeing food remnants in things like mayo, butter, etc.
I'll use a clean fork to scoop it out just to avoid the possibility of contamination. :|

This peeve mostly stems from my experiences with my mom when i was a femmelette..

it peeves me when my stuff is moved from the location i placed the items to a place i wouldnt even look...and that person forgets where they put the them.

I may hold a purse when asked....Looking in or getting something out of one of those things....not even when asked...I will bring the purse to you!

That wouldn't happen at my store;)

Dawdling when the light turns green. Fucking go!

when ppl borrow things and never return them ~ theif

Certainly a bit OCD about a few things...

1. Someone mentioned a dirty kitchen. This goes beyond just dirty dishes in the sink although I may take issue with this as well if they are piling up.
2. Pressed pants and shirts. Wrinkles are only cool if it was made to have wrinkles.
3. I can't do bad cable management. I'll take as much time as needed to clean it up; black mamba and twist ties are our friends!
4. I can't do clutter in the main parts of my house. If it's shared space it needs to be kept clean.

I'm sure there is plenty more...

LOL scuba .. i just did
that last thursday .. behinde my desk the wires were a mess .. dusty mess. i took me over an hour to straighten out and disconnect wires that werent connected to anything !

WOOT!!! Nice! I'll feel good about entering your home now **laughing**

left open drawers and/or closet doors or cabinet doors...

crooked mini blinds...

people that won't stop talking at work when I'm trying to concentrate... grrrr

Thank GOD I'm not alone in this. I fix crooked pictures too :|

A few seconds left on the microwave by the previous user. Arrrrgggh.

When they section off 10 miles of hwy to work on a 2 ft patch.

Worse.....when sitting patiently (more or less) for minutes on end as the line creeps along and some %^!!@# decides to be cute and swing out and use the side of the road as their own personal lane to jump to the front of the line. Ignoring all the signs, cones and flashing lights then trying to act all surprised that the lanes merge and expecting you to LET THEM IN!! That would be "NO" and they would have to take the paint off my car and I still will *not* let them pull that arsehat trick. A friend was with me once when this happened and the guy was really coming over hard and I didn't give an inch. She was freaking out and asking me, "Where did you learn to drive, Talladega?"

Katniss~~(releasing my inner NASCAR)

p.s.....and sticky cabinet handles and fridge doors....blech!

Back home there used to be this one intersection, up on a high rise where everyone needed to exit, and always a back up.

It NEVER failed, someone always flew past the line, stops right at the front to get in, and someone always LET them get in. If people would not allow the cutting they would have to wait like everyone else.

What is with that? Do they think their time is more important than everyone else's :carride:?

Cupboard doors and drawers not properly closed. Will need to devise better training methods it seems.

I think one of the things that peeve me the most is when someone acts PC in front of others and then when they go private. feel ok with saying racist, homophobic, transphobic, hateful things. Dont say the N word to me at home because no one is around to judge you, thinking I wont because I am white. I am white only because of genetics. I am all colors because I have evolved. Fuck you and your dirty little secretive comments...

Being interrupted when I'm speaking. I fully acknowledge that it might sometimes be hard to get a word in edge wise, but still.

Oh, and the word "upset". "Are your upset?" "Don't be upset...". That word drives me mad.

I feel the same way about this,my inner nash car was in full force when I drove the old farm truck cause it had a cross tye for a front bumper pluss a big heavy top bar od solid railraod steel that went around the side of the nearly to the end of the wheel well on the truck.I promis there were plenty of hot shots with cross tye and steel bar marks on the fancy cars or what have you.

Got one!
 

where's your store....I"m coming there!

in other people's houses!? :| lol

a filthy car interior.

there is something about a water bottle or an apple rolling around the floor board that just does me in. ....

:\

I might have mentioned these before, but I like shiny things to be shiny. Especially bathroom and kitchen fixtures. I see water spots and I cringe.

I also hate seeing toothpaste (and hair) in the sink.

Sometimes I think Mare looks at a picture with Her head tilted, because I am always straightening pictures. She'll swear up and down that's it's level, but um, no. It drives me nuts to see a crooked picture (or anything) on the wall.

Grill me....
 

Going to a cookout and seeing the host toss meat on a dirty grill. No. Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong~!~!!

Rules for grilling;

1. It must be a Weber. (If you use gas you may as well cook at the stove indoors and be comfortable)

2. The Weber *must* be clean!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. Do not put the meat on the grill until the flames are no longer shooting up the rack!

4. "Blackened" is not the same as "burned" and don't even try to pawn it off as such.

5. Meat goes directly on the rack, not tinfoil otherwise see #1 and cook at thr stove.


Katniss~~(raised where grilling and bbq are taken very seriously....)

We can cook together...on a Weber, that is.
I have a 22 1/2 inch Weber that I've only used 3 times since moving to OKC :(
Makes no sense to use charcoal to fire up a grill for just me...unless I fire up the Smokey Joe.

:| Maybe :|

ohhhhh I came to post something specifically and after reading over I thought of several more :|

I hate going to the news stand/ bookstore and the magazines and books are not in the right place...I hate when they get untidy at doctor's offices too...

The retail goddess in me DEMANDS that labels be facing out AND that the shelves be dust free and orderly...and since I'm no longer in retail, I do this habitually when I go to stores. (minus the dusting) I'm the customer that Barnes and Noble LOVES to see coming... :| I should really ask for a discount on my purchases...

My other peeve is yet another cleaning one. I can't stand when people use their sponge that washes dishes to wash EVERYTHING ELSE...the counters, the table, the fridge, the FLOOR..??!? :| I worked for a woman who did that. And she was a MEDICAL ASSISTANT....:seeingstars:

I'm like that at store too but only when the person I am with is taking a lengthy time making their mind. Its not that I'm bored but more like - look at these messy shelves. Here let me straighten them for you people lol.

I have issue with couch pillows. If they are going to be there then they need to be evenly distributed across the couch.

Don't leave dirty dishes in any room of the house other than the kitchen... And preferably in the sink or dish washer.

Okay gonna stop now or I may start sounding rather petty lol ;)

I've been known to lol.
Or at least bring it to their attention.
It just grinds my nerves if I don't say or do something about it.
