What are your pet peeves?
#31
I have many, but, the two that get me most often are...
1.) When people don't use turn signals. I figure either turn signals are now optional on many vehicles or everyone else except me has the ability to read minds.
2.) This is a big one for me...when people don't say "THANK YOU." I absolutely hate when I hold a door open for someone, or simply do anything that any civilized person would extend a "thank you" for, and they blow it off as if it's expected you bow down to their holyness. Now that the Holidays are coming, I can already see I'm going to lose my voice screaming "YOUR WELCOME!" at their silence. Of course, I know I'll keep taking the high road and set myself up for inconciderate a$$h@!&s each and every time.

Oh yeah, I forgot one that my mother-in-law does all the time. On the few(Thank God!) occations that we meet them for dinner, I swear that all she does is complain about work. It's non stop from beginning to end. When I eat, I don't want to talk about stuff that's upsetting. There has got to be something good to talk about? I try to change the conversation to something positive, but, she just blows it off and goes right back complaining. The best part, she's complaining about stuff that has absolutely nothing, I repeat 'nothing', to do with her, her job, or her job responsibilities! I think she's just one of those people whose not happy unless they're complaining or ruining everybody elses day that she comes in contact with.

I have a few -
slow drivers
drivers that cut you off and then turn making you stop or slow down
no turn signal
people without respect for their peers
rolls of anything must come over the top, not under the bottom
kids that do not listen to their parents

People who have "Musical" ringtones, keep the ring volume at super high, refuse to put it on silent when in a restaurant, theater, or office, and force everyone within earshot to endure their "favorite" for what seems like an eternity before answering their incoming call.
People who hit the brakes, stop at an intersection, then turn on their signal.

while this peeve isn't so bad here.
One that is growing on my list is people who post images in forums (arfcom) that are so god awful big, it doesn't fit on my 21" monitor and takes 10 minutes to load thru my broadband connection.
for the most part, people here attach their image so its a thumbnail and i can view it in a separate window and its resized.

---you have a cell phone for a reason, answer it, but if you can't answer it because of work or something it brings to mind when i would always ask my g/f of the point of turning off a cell phone...there is no point, when you can just put it on silent and then see who has called without any disturbance
I also hate when people ask dumb question's that they pretty much already know the answer to. Like when I would walk into class with a motorcycle helmet and a guy would ask me "hey, so do you ride a motorcycle?". I would simply reply in a less than appropriate voice..."no, the doctors make me wear this helmet because I hit my head on walls." They would get mad and say I was being rude, and I just say well thats what you get when you ask dumb questions...Of course I ride a motorcycle, I don't just carry this thing around for the fun of it.

With trucks...I really dislike it when people who drive around in their trucks with their towing mirrors folded out and no trailer behind them....EVER. I have plenty of those people around my town. Clean spotless trucks. Empty beds without scratches. No goose neck ***** and no receiver hitches but they cruise around town with their mirrors out at all times.
In general...well...one thing I can think of now is I hate it when people walk SLOW. Im sure Im being kinda unfair cause Im tall and have 3 foot strides but some people just walk around as if they have no intention or want of any kind to get to their location. Most of the time people like this walk in small groups and take up the whole sidewalk. Sometimes...when Im stuck behind them...especially when Im in some kind of rush I wanna punch these people in the back of the head.

I can't stand liars including those who distort the facts so that it really is a lie. Lying is the groundwork for dishonesty in general. To make matters worse, liars think that other people are so stupid that they will believe the lies.

Guilty as charged !! I am one of those "slow walkers" unless I have a reason not to. I wasn't always like this ... I was once like you and constantly in a hurry. Not anymore. I started forcing myself to walk slower, talk slower, eat slower ... and basically take my time enjoying everything I do. I feel MUCH better for doing it too.
But on the occasion that I am in a hurry and need to get somewhere NOW (fire, flooding etc)... I do tend to cuss the slow walkers that I have to climb over to get to my destination !!
Cheers,
PISTOL

Those little ankle bitter dogs that bark at everything because the owner thinks it cute. My other peeve is the whole FORD OWNS CUMMINS Threads that keep showing up here.
