What Pet Peeves Do You Have?

robman60

This topic has probably been made before, but anyway.

What are those little things that annoy the **** out of you?

Mine:
1. People who say "I seen" and "I done". Seriously, this is the most annoying thing ever. I mean, it's not any more difficult to say "I saw" and "I did".
Also people who never use capital letters. I mean, it can make a big difference to a sentence; just one example of that can be seen below:

"I helped my Uncle Jack off his horse".
"I helped my uncle jack off his horse".

This omission of a capital letter in Jack can make you appear as a creep who may perpetrate horrible actions against a poor helpless animal.

2. People who are always scabbing money, and never pay back. I mean, you wanted to go to the shop, so where's your money?

3. When people leave a phone charger plugged in and have taken away the phone. This drives me insane, 'nuff said.

4. When those inlaws whom you barely know visit. I swear I feel so awkward when this happens. I try to just appear as if I'm making tea or something the whole time.

Or in the pub and dump your change (plus notes) on left over booze on the bar. Where do you put the money?

The Princess Bride

When you're in a restaurant/theatre/company/with friends,and a mobile phone rings and the owner answers it.
Was at a play recently, and a woman's (in front of the stage) phone rang 3 times,really annoying.
Any time I'm out for a drink with my best friend,her husband texts her at least 3/4 times,usually to comment on the fact she's missing something that's on tv at home.Don't know which is worse-him texting or her reading it!!!!!!

Defo the not closing doors properly! My mates dad left a cupboard door open in the kitchen, above work top level. The mum didnt see it, hit her head and fell flat out cold. He rushed in, to pick her up off the floor, the dog thought he was attacking her with all the commotion and bit him! The mum was fine when she came round, he had 5 stitches in his leg.He now always closes doors!

raveni

People who spell "no one" as "noone". Or "a lot" as "alot".

Also people who don't close doors fully. Dear god, the things are there for a reason, not just for decoration.

My boss, when he goes in to "David Brent" mode - "Going forward" being one of his all time favourite phrases.

Bad Manners, drives me fu,cking nuts like how hard is to say thanks when someone holds a door open for you, say sorry if you bump into someone, wave thanks to someone if they let you out when driving etc. you just want to give them a good kick up the arse ill always make a point of letting people know im not happy i.e if I hold the door open for someone and they barge right past ill be sure to shout your welcome at them.

It my one and only real pet hate.

I lived in Collogne in Germany for six months, dont ever go there , you are describing every single day that i was there. As for holding the door for someone , they actually went under my arm , i swear it was just mad! I was knocked over on occasion too without an apology. Came home for Christmas and i bumped into a guy in Dublin Airport bar ,spilling his pint all down his hand . He apologised to me !!!! ahh the Irish are great believe me , there's only a few who cause the grief!! Never went back!

We did this topic before. I stand by what I wrote then:

People who go on about 'sure they're all as bad as each other' when what they secretly mean is they're still going to vote Fianna Fail anyway.

People who talk about 'us' and 'we' when they mean a football team that they're not a member of which plays in a completely different country to where they are.

People who use PC buzzwords inappropriately to stifle debates they don't like/are losing. Examples: 'Racist!', 'Anti-Semite!', 'Sexist!', 'Homophobe!'.

People who send me spam emails asking me to join Facebook or Linkedin or somesuch waste of time.

Leopards. I just loathe them. Don't have to have a reason. Spotty cúnts.

People walking slow in front of me ... and then stopping in the middle of the path to look at something almost causing a massive collision of people trying to pass them out

People who don't replace the toilet paper after they've used it all :mad:

Horrible over done make up - think the 'howayeh' dubliner look. Why? You look like a cheap prostitute!

People who expect you to drop everything just to do something with them

People who claim they can't go anwhere on their own - ie down to the shops, bathroom, put on make up, go for a smoke. No I do NOT want to escort you everywhere thank you very much.

People who text constantly, if I don't text back I either havn't seen the text/or I don't want to text back just yet. Don't text me over and over again and don't ever send a 'text back' text 2 minutes after you sent the origional.

People who ask me stupid questions about my horse - no she does not live in the green in my estate and no, she does not 'race'.

People who listen to their ipod/MP3 when it's just you and them.

People who are constantly on their phone, seriously stop texting every person under the sun, you look like an ignorant gob****e. This mostly applies to the people who walk down the street/road/etc ignoring their friends because they're constantly texting.

Chimpanzees, I hate them, don't know why, but they're horribly disgusting to me. I don't get their appeal, they're horrible looking things. I don't mind any other monkey/ape though.

Having to pay 40c in college for a cup for my tea ... and then having to pay 25c for milk! I normally bring my own tea bag and flask in.

Spanish students who stand around in groups of 30 blocking the footpath.

Parents who scream obscenities at thier young children in public - steralise them I say.

People who 'park' their car in either a disabled space or in a place that isn't even a parking space where it's obstructing other traffic just because their too lazy to walk an extra 20 yards.
