Pet Peeves

[xenaprincess]

I have another. I just returned from the grocery store...a very busy grocery store with 14 check-out lanes and only 7 cashiers! Waiting in a long line up when a cashier comes to open a new lane and says "can I help the next person?"!! First...what the heck is that?! You know darn well that the last person to join the longest line 30 seconds ago jumps right into the newly opened line, while myself and others have been waiting 10-15 minutes already!! Who's to blame? The cashier for allowing that crap, or the ignorant jerk who jumps ahead of everyone else??
Oh, and this one is the doozey...then I have the pleasure of being entertained by a kiddie cashier who "hates to do the math" (her words) and would prefer the customer do it instead (I threw her world off balance when I asked for cash-back!!). After paying, and before I get my change, she claims to have a hair caught in her tongue ring (and oh how she hates that too) and proceeds to untangle and pull a long peice of hair from her tongue ring and out of her mouth, throwing the hair on the floor and wiping her hand on her pants!! Just no class or etiquette at all! :mad:
Now that I've vented and once I finish this ice cold brewsky, I'm sure I'll feel better. :D

I have yet another one (Yes, I am very irritable). I can't stand to see someone that has dyed their hair and the roots are showing and they are a completely different color than the rest of the hair. If you dye your hair you should have root touch ups also!

"You must shop at Wal-Mart. They never say thank you."

"Oh Gosh! This reminds me of something that happened at Wal-Mart. "



Good grief, is it THAT obvious?!?! That is SAD!!! I detest wal-mart and only go there if I have to, because that is usually the response I get.... even IF I try to speak and say "hey how's it goin..." they look straight through me, as if I don't exist, or as if they didn't hear me... Gosh, what is up with that???

I just don't get how hard it is to say hello?? some of them are nice, but most are just blank ... and I hate that.

Wally world..... Sam Walton would be so proud!!! <sarcasm>

When people don't put their carts away in the parking lot at grocery stores/wal-mart/target, etc!!!!!!!!!!! You have to be the LAZIEST person to not walk 10-20 feet to the nearest cart corral! They just leave the carts in the middle of the aisle or the parking spot so no one can park there.

I was leaving wal-mart one day and actually saw a woman making the effort to pull her cart up onto those little islands around the parking lot...you know the ones that are raised up with rocks and trees? She was putting so much effort into it, when she could've used that effort to walk it to it's proper place!!!!!!! I just stopped in my tracks, dropped my jaw, and watched her until she was done. AHHHHH!!!!

People driving in the left lane on the interstate, thinking that 60 is fast enough and not moving over so you can pass.
AND
People that drive next to each other and won't let you pass
AND
People that don't pull over for emergency vehicles
I think I am a candidate for road rage!
Oh, I could go on and on................

I second this and I KNOW I have road rage!! I admit it! The point is not that I'm in a hurry but if I'm driving faster than you are, pull your head out of your butt and move to let me by.
I hate waiters/waitresses who think that yapping to other co-workers is more important than their tip!
I hate when I've gone to the dry-cleaners here for the last 5 years and they all of sudden have a brain fart and start asking "what's the first name". There's no one else here with the same last name!! I drive off and wait til the manager is working.
I hate people who feel the need to stop in the middle of the isle to talk/browse and take up the whole isle. Then they look at you funny when you say excuse me! HELLLOOOOO!!
I guess, people with bad manners all around really get to me.

I hate it when people call 911 on thier cell phone to report an accident
and they have no idea where they are.
I hate it when people leave the toilet seat up.
I hate it when people are shopping and they see someone they know so
they stop in the middle of the isle and talk so you can't get around them.
always happens at WalMart.
I hate it when people drive in the left lane slow and won't get over.
I hate it when people take thier kids to a restaurant and let them scream
at the top of thier lungs the whole time they are there.
I hate it when people let thier little ones push the carts in the store and
they run into the back of your heels.
I hate it when the phone rings and it is someone wanting the ymca. My
number is close to that number. Happens about three times a week.
I could go on and on but I won't.

Sorry I need to add another that I did not think of yesterday. But another pet peeve of mine is parents that do not parent!!!
I hate going out in public and seeing children running a muck in the store/restaurant etc. Please keep an eye on your kids and the other thing is when the kids to get into trouble the parents blame everyone else but themselves!!!

I hate it when people call 911 on thier cell phone to report an accident
and they have no idea where they are.

But are we supposed to call 911 when reporting an accident? I never know when you are to call 911 and when not to. I know when it is an emergency. But I have called 911 for reporting a fire on the side of the road, a drunk or VERY aggressive driver, and when my dad stopped breathing, and an accident. I know not to call 911 for a robery that already happened (when our house was broken into while we were on vacation) or something petty.....but are you to call for an accident and such?

I didn't reply to this thread because I have loads of peeves but tonight while I was trying to unwrap the oven foil that had a snag in it causing it not to unwrap and come away in bits I got so mad that I threw it in the bin and thought of this thread!
