Crumbs in the butter and other Pet Peeves!

deathbypoem · 02-25-2014, 11:46 AM

When someone texts me back and they reply with a "K". grr.

People driving down the road/highway/freeway
littering out everything they own
in their vehicle. Ridiculous.

C0LLETTE · 02-25-2014, 12:32 PM

Professionals who can't or wont explain a problem/solution to the layperson that's paying them. This includes doctors, lawyers, mechanics and anyone else that hides behind a lot of mumbo jumbo "technical" blah blah.

I don't need it broken down into single syllable words but I am bright enough to understand most common usage words. My newest epiphany is that if they can't explain it, they're ripping me off.

1. Call Centers... need I say more... a monstrously ugly turn into the abyss of exploited, disgruntled workers and frustrated cheated customers.

2. Automated telephone systems that send you into a crazy-making maze of number choices that leave you so horribly confused and trapped that all you want to do is throw that TV, fridge, whatever, out the window and go fire bomb the company (just a figure of speech...do not try this at home )

I absolutely hate automated telephone systems...I didn't mind them so much when the actually gave an option to get to a real person, but they don't even do that anymore. Drives me nuts

cinnamongrrl · 07-12-2014, 08:06 PM

I hate when my kids take the last of something (packet of oatmeal...last cookie etc) and leave the empty box. Im under the impression that I have these things still and dont replace them....burns my biscuit!

Diablo · 07-12-2014, 08:52 PM

ok...im a double dipper..and i leave crumbs in the peanut butter..i also cross contaminate..i use the same knife on the butter i just used on the jam. Same with the mayo. :-( Forgive me for i know not what i do...okok...i do know what i do but...i cant help it...

MrSunshine · 07-12-2014, 09:47 PM

Hair! Anyone's, on me. Or in any place on my body it should not be. Even my own when I get it cut I have to run home and shower.

That shit shows up in my food and I am coming out the box!

MsTinkerbelly · 07-13-2014, 02:15 AM

People who step over a hanger or bit of trash and keep on going.

I have two of them in my house and it makes my blood boil!

Charmingbutch21 · 07-13-2014, 07:51 AM

Sticky. Like when I get syrup on me. Gah!!!

cinnamongrrl · 03-20-2015, 05:48 AM

I hate when people don't close the toilet lid when they flush. The toilet water can splash up to 8 feet away!

*glances nervously at my toothbrush*

Daniela · 03-20-2015, 07:52 AM

People who "one-up" you whenever you say anything.

Constant bragging.

Social media braggarts (the worst!!).

Fishing for compliments.

*Leaving chip or cracker boxes wide open after eating them.

People who don't pay attention to where they're walking (admittedly, this has been me before...but it's not so bad when I do it, of course

), or people who are so oblivious to their surroundings that they don't realize/care when they're in everyone's way.

*One of these things doesn't fit with the others. I realize this.

THIS drives me infreakingsane. Especially when trying to grocery shop and people just leave their buggies (shopping carts for those of you not from the south

) in the middle of the aisle.

Another one would be people who park their cars like jackasses...either taking up more than one space or parking too close to another car.

OR they congregate with said buggies three wide or more...really.?....and I may as well be invisible with my mobility scooter! FFS! Do you think I want to sit behind the lot of you, deciding to chat at length. You would "think" they would give berth huh? Ain' t happening!....

Daniela · 03-20-2015, 10:21 AM

I almost forgot about the humblebrag, one of the most annoying pet peeves.

Quote:

from Urban Dictionary:
Humblebrag

Subtly letting others now about how fantastic your life is while undercutting it with a bit of self-effacing humor or "woe is me" gloss.

Uggggh just ate about fifteen piece of chocolate gotta learn to control myself when flying first class or they'll cancel my modelling contract LOL #humblebrag

Also, also, vaguebooking.

Quote:

Vaguebooking
An intentionally vague Facebook status update, that prompts friends to ask what's going on, or is possibly a cry for help.
Mary is: "wondering if it is all worth it"
Mark is: "thinking that was a bad idea"

Example:
"Have you talked to Mark? He's vaguebooking again. I wonder if he's back with Mary..."

VintageFemme · 03-20-2015, 10:36 AM

People talking on the phone in the bathroom.
People talking on the phone in line at the store.
People talking on the phone over dinner.
People talking on the phone on a date.

And water spots on the the bathroom/kitchen chrome.

And adults using text talk.

And those who wear expensive clothes & accessories and then wear nappy beat up ugly shoes.

And sarcasm.

LOL I flushed the toilet one time, completely cutting off someone's phone conversation. I felt bad about it for about half a second, and then I came to my senses.

Don't come up here. That's the norm.

Ever notice how people will push their carts in the same manner that they drive on the roads and that no one realizes that the rules of the road apply to store aisles as well? Speed demons, slower than molasses in winter, distracted and oblivious to others....4 way stops, side streets need to yield, etc.

Frustrating.

I know this well now.

I can NOT stand it when I'm drinking a to go coffee and there is even the tiniest bit of coffee on the inner rim and inevitably spills on you when you take a drink...

Yes...this happened to me today. Later, I just straight up spilled coffee down my shirt. Its just been that kind of day...

WildHorses · 04-18-2015, 12:37 AM

People who do not use bathroom spray even though
it is out and obvious for people to use!
