Re: Pet Peeves: List them here

Wow! I never knew people could get upset over so many things. I only have one pet peeve and that is I can't stand people who aren't just like me.

I hate HATE seeing kids without seatbelts in cars. It makes me feel sick to my stomach. I see it all the time.

Re: Pet Peeves: List them here

Man this is the perfect topic for me! lately I have so many things that peeve me, that I don't think there is enough room for me to post them. LOL

One of my main problems is, I always buy certain foods that I eat on the atkins woe. Yet everyone goes for my food, even though I make sure they have theirs. It drives me crazy. For instants they have chips or pop corn. I buy pork rinds for the times I feel like a chip or popcorn. Well they alway go for my pork rinds and leave their stuff. You say I should buy enough for everyone? Well I do that too, but they eat everything like staving savages and then proceed to eat my things. I think they should consider that I am limitted on the things I can eat, and have some consideration for me. I am now hidding my stuff. I wonder if I ate manure wheather they would want some.
Can anyone tell I went looking for some pork rinds and didn't find them? LOL Anyway that is one of my many. love Pru

Sounds like you need to psych them out. Why not save a few "markdown" stickers, make use of a black marker or old, expired wrappers... When they aren't looking make your food look "iffy" - they might leave it alone. Or would they toss it out if they thought it was outdated?

On the other hand, you could teach them a lesson by sabotaging one of your bags of porkrinds with a foul taste just to set them up...

Bump this for Christmas!

What really drives me nuts is seeing Christmas aisles set up in stores before Halloween and Valentines before New Years.

Oh, don't let me get started...


...And some people's entire yards filled with giant inflatable Santas, snow men, and Grinches; sleds "crashing" into roofs, light up moving reindeer, etc...


...and rarely if ever do we see a Creche (sp?) except in front of a church. I even saw stockings on one church's outdoor billboard last week!!


It reminds me of a Mad Magazine 60's issue, containing these words to the tune of 'Away in a Manger':


An eighty-foot manger extends to the street,
with wise men and camels, the scene is complete.
A choir of angels is perched on a limb;
beneath, a loudspeaker is blaring a hymn.
Our roof features Santa with reindeer and sleigh,
while two dozen floodlights light up the display.
Although it cost thousands, we'd spend even more -
just so we're outdoing our neighbors next door!

Re: Pet Peeves: List them here

Ok, you all are going to send me away to a councellor when I tell you all of mine, but here goes....

#1 and it a a HUGE one......the declining morals in this country and the way most young girls think norm is being a trashy whore. They have never seen much of anything else. I have had opportunities to talk with a few in-depth about it and it is a total foreign concept to be lady-like and let a guy choose them. And to not have sex with as many different guys as they can in a week?? My god they think I have lost my mind! Then again, it could be where I live. I never noticed it before I came here and became a student.

#2 Any female, (or male) over the age of 5 whining. I see grown women do this ALLLL of the time!!!!!!!!!

#3 Negativism !!!! My god...as my band coach when I was 11 said..."Can't and never could do nothing". That message and it's meaning came across loud and clear when I was a kid. Also my grandmother and a priest taught me...You are and live what you confess.

#4 LIARS!!!!!! Holy ^*%$*^*(^*^%&$ By the age of puberty, we OWN our own lives. By adulthood we are accountable to no one but ourselves IF we don't want to be. You OWN your life. Be proud of your choices and live what you want to live. DO not be ashamed! You want to steal? OWN IT. You want to be a model citizen? OWN IT. If you suck at something that you will never be good at..OWN IT! Be proud you suck. Why is a lie even a part of someones option list? Lying means you are letting someone else own you.

#5 Roommates leaving dirty dishes and having dirty bathroom habits!

Ok, that is about it.........yes, I need stress management LOL I'll OWN IT!!!

Re: Pet Peeves: List them here

Ok, I totally agree with MUSTLOSE80's Number's 1, 2, 3, and 4. (There's nothing like a 13 year old dressing like a 21 year old clubber to go to school).

My BIGGEST pet peeve is when people judge others and spread gossip. What is the old saying, thou shall not cast stones when you reside in glass houses????? (Yes, I'm paraphrasing!)

When I was a teenager, of course, I was guilty of this as well. It's a rite of passage to learn not to judge others. I think that as you age, you should mature and realize that judging others is nothing but hateful, spiteful, and gossipy. After being in the 'judged person' seat, I have to say, it is something I personally do not do to others any more...

Re: Pet Peeves: List them here

***I really can't stand persons with filthy mouths. Sheesh. I work with teens and for many, the F word is a necessary part of speech. So when I correct them, and yes, I do, they say sorry Miss, to me. I don't want an appology, I want them to change the habit. So then they code switch and go to Spanish, well most of the teens know I'm bilingual... so that doesn't work either, so then they have now created other words to substitute for ther filthy language. I'm deciphering it as we go.

Its so permissable in public for anyone to use filthy language so it is no longer a tabu. totally acceptable. Well I don't accept it.

***I also can not stand persons who chew their food or gum with their mouth open.

*** Finally, listening to persons chirp conversations. Bugs the heck out of me. I really can't live without my cell, I know it because of work. BUT even when peeps let their cells ring in church... How disrespectful is that?

Re: Pet Peeves: List them here

Ohhhhhhh I am right there with Patty, Heather and Boonie.......thanks guys. LOL I get a headache just thinkig about some of these things, which is exactly why most of us never make our mark on getting them to stop, or never start. While we cannot be responsible for the world....I mean it is hard enough to be SURE our own children don't do these things, right?....I always feel I could probably do more on my part to make a small piece of the world better.

Re: Pet Peeves: List them here

LOLOL reminds me of the phone message....If you are paranoid schizophrenic, you don't have to leave a message. We know who you are and what you want. Stay on the line while we trace the call.

Re: Pet Peeves: List them here

Hmm...some of my pet peeves:

When women go to the gym looking like they're going to the bar--they're not there to workout, they're at the gym to find a date!

When people chew with their mouths open/talk with their mouths full.

When kids have snot running down their faces and nobody (neither the kid nor the parent) does anything about it.

When students are given directions about 93362 times and still they ask "What are we supposed to do?"

When people always have to "one-up" you...usually these are the same people who can't admit failure or making a mistake, so I guess this is a 2-for-1 pet peeve.

When people fart in a grocery store aisle then leave after you walk down it. New people come down the aisle, and think YOU did it.
