Foo - Pet Peeve Thread

People who talk with their mouth full.

Only because I just sat in a lunch meeting and had to sit across from this person. Good grief - don't they think something is wrong here when they stuff their mouth, and talk - and food falls out??? And then they get embarrassed by it. And do it again. ick.

Close talkers.

People who unknowingly spit while talking.

Drivers who edge up on a lane THEY KNOW is ending to try to get as far up in the line as possible.

Being talked down to by somebody who understands whatever topic it is less than I do.

Close talkers.

get out of my private space!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree I hate that too, and they usually have bad breath!

I hate people who stir thier coffee with the spoon and it makes that clickling sound non friggen stop, they stir it forever... cling cling...cling cling...

I hate people who come in the restaurant with a blue tooth on thier ear, no, you do not look important, you look like a friggen idiot.

Im sure Ill be back, I have so many pet peeves, it's not even funny:o

People who cut off the bike lane, cause god forbid a 15 - 20 mph bike get in front of their 250 hp, sitting in stop and go traffic, peice of crap automobile.

For me:
Sticky Hands, it's the absolute worst.

For others:
Stupidity, thats about it.

Stupid girls and drama. I can't stand girls that are ditzy, dumb, etc.. Grow up and be mature. I don't want to deal with your bs.

People who pick at themselves while talking to you.

Ugh. And for some dumb reason my eyes follow --- NOOOO - the hand that's going up to ----NNNOOOOOO --- pick the pimple!!



Do yer pickin in private and not in front of me.

loud drinkers or eaters.

Reminded me of another one that annoys me so much I once started a thread about it.

When girls try to use that "itty bitty gurwy voice" because they think its cute.
IT'S NOT!!! IT MAKES YOU SOUND LIKE A JACKASS!

people who find it necessary to find something wrong with everything you say.

I've known a number of women (Note I said "women", not "girls") who do this quite often. They think men will automatically melt and do what they ask because its sooo sexy or cute or something.

It just makes me want to vomit.

I never knew this to be completely true until a coworker about 5 years ago. NO MATTER WHAT you said, he found something wrong and had to correct it. Even when you agreed with him he'd come back with something to make it sound like you didn't understand the full argument yet or something.

It was so bad I quit wanting to talk with him AT ALL. He was the first to go when downsizing layoffs came.

I think your grammar is wrong.

The females who start whining because "oh it's too hard to work here, can somebody help me lift this?" As they glance over to the guys. I'll be right there and go over and pick it up for them. Boy do they turn red. Yeah...I hate that HELP ME I'M JUST A GIRLY GIRL type of work ethic. If you can't handle friggen 70lbs (which is the requirement to work here - try doing it with a bulged disk) then go work in the office.

I don't like people touching my stuff.

I catch any of you guys.........

touching my stuff..........

....I'll kill ya.

People who don't check for scheduling conflicts when trying to assemble people for a meeting.
We have a scheduling calendar on our email client for a reason. Don't get angry with everyone for declining your meeting if you schedule it to overlap a training session, 4 people's PTO, and on Friday from 4pm-5pm (when 3 more people are listed as "unavailable.")


People who call or stop by my cubicle 2 minutes after sending me an email, just to ask me if I got their email. If you're that concerned, check the "receipt verification" box before you send it.

We're all very different people. We're not Watusi, we're not Spartans, we're Americans. With a capital "A", huh? And you know what that means? Do you? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts.

So basically, pet peeves are un-american, I guess is what my point is, or something.

People who stand in my aura. Stay out of my aura.

I don't like people touching my stuff.

I catch any of you guys.........

hehe, I'll make sure I send over one of the men here, not only is he a klepto with pens, but he's a chewer. And then one day he'll return that pen - so you come back to your office and find your mangled pen.

:mad:

anyone see which way Riteshdad went? I am gonna kill him.

An Army without leaders

I love that movie.

I dont like people touching my food
I dont even like my food touching my food!!!!!!

I think I told you that right after I started posting in Foo!

It's bad when they walk around anywhere, but especially in the airport. They walk around, talking loudly and you can't immediately see what they're talking into. You start to wonder if they've had their Thorazine today.

Some more:
1. People who parallel park in the middle of two spaces, making it impossible for anyone else to park there.
2. People who cut in line, and especially when they look at you with cow eyes like you'll forgive them because, ya know, they're special.
3. Automated telemarketing messages.
4. Workers in service occupations (cashiers, waitstaff, etc.) who act like Attila the Hun.
5. Cops who couldn't give a rat's a** in taking a report about anything bike-related (crash, theft, etc.)

My boss leaves a coffee cup in my trash several days a week with an inch of latte left in the bottom. He can’t manage to bring it into the kitchen and dump it into the sink. So then I have all these cups with milky coffee for a week in my area. Lovely.

It'd be interesting to see how many of the regular foosters belong to the ADHD/Asperger crowd...

Most of my pet peeves are linguistic. Not many are possible to explain to people who aren't Swedish speakers.

I used to work with this lady when I was about 18 or 19 who was like this. She was a super-hardcore-Gloria Steinem feminist and would spout all the "women are equal" stuff at least once per night with no provocation.

We worked in a computer room and she would do this to me all the time. Bat her eyelashes and ask me if I could the big heavy box of computer paper to put in the printer for her. She didn't like when I retaliated with the "I thought women were equal and could do anything a man could do" response. :rolleyes:

How about people who use the term "American" to think it only applies to people in the United States.

Is there another kind? If so, I've yet to hear about them.

Brazilians, Canadians, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and Kentuckians to name a few are all Americans.

Canadians: North American
Panamanians: Central Americans
Chileans: South Americans


Remember, "America" doesn't just refer to "The United States of."

United Statians sounds weird.

Yeah, much better with "United States of Americans"! :D

I hate people who don't pick up their dog's poop. Seriously. Especially when it's on my property.
That just makes me crazy!

Figure out who's not cleaning up after their dog.
Save it up in a plastic lined styrofoam cooler for about a week.
Mail it to them book rate, with postage due, using their work address as the return mark.

Is Gringo better? :D

My biggest pet peeve is people who argue just to argue. I like a debate where all parties are trying to figure something out - but I hate when you get people in the debate who have a position to defend.

Another pet peeve is that I am not allowed to crush Neanderthal types when they bother people I care about. Oh sure, I am allowed to scare them until they wet on themselves, but that isn't nearly as fun as crushing...

One thing very irritating is for someone to say "I need to tell you something, can we meet tomorrow?" Thanks for making me think for the next day "I wonder what this is about?!"

Old Gringo

How about people who use the term "American" to think it only applies to people in the United States.

Funnily enough, though, many of the people I've heard do this are European.

My biggest pet peeve is people who argue just to argue.

No, it isn't.

No, it isn't.

Yes, it is!

I'm not American, and I refuse to be identfied as such.
