I wanted to do a thread - but am not sure there isn't already one for this subject - but anyways here goes:


What is your pet peeve for today?

Going through the drive thru of ANY fast food restaurant and later finding they "forgot" to give you one of your items. Or even worse, ordering something that requires cutlery (like a chili) and having them forget to give you one - so either you can't eat it, or have to drive back for a stinkin spoon.

At Heart

Up until yesterday I would have answered that my pet peeves were the pharamists in this town, who would tell me that "Dexadrine spansules just are not prescribed much anymore" :rolleyes: and then never have an adequate amount on hand to fill my RX completely, even though they KNEW I would be back the next month.

As of today, and ongoing, one of my pet peeves is that my hubby always allows someone to use our car to drive him out to the truck-drop when he leaves out. Not only does that deprive me of my car for that period of time...but he also quite often allows a cousin of his to drive him, and the woman hardly ever takes a shower (in SC!) :eek: and to be quite honest, the woman stinks. I am hypersensitive to odors and this is intolerable to me, that she should have her smelly self in my driver's seat!

Perhaps Febreeze for your car?? A lot?

Perhaps Febreeze for your car?? A lot?Tried that. Ya ever smelled Febreze and BO? :faint: He has recently begun asking another cousin but its still a peeve of mine. He didn't have her drive today, TG.

My current pet peeve is people who speed up from behind you, ride your bumper (as* is more like it), then finally pass you, just to go slower than you were going....

UUUGGGGHHHHH

Right now my pet peeve is that I seem to have misplaced my creativity :(...notice the award over to the right? Creativity award. These days I do not deserve it one lick.

Has anybody seen a creative muse with the words "Property of Crazy~Feet" on a tag sewn into her clothing? This peeve of mine is making me so depressed lately!

I think your creative muse and my writing muse must have eloped together. That would explain a lot! How long has it been since yours is gone?

My current pet peeve is taxi drivers who shout at me as if I'm nuts, not them. Yes, I can read!!! There was no f- sign!!! Those situations turn me into a (road-raged) person I don't want to be. I swear, sometimes I am glad I don't carry a gun...

My pet peeve is people who wonder around the grocery store as if they are the only ones there !!!

sudden stops in front of you to look at something blocking the way, you say excuse me over and over and they don't listen or look at you like you are Soooooooooo rude !

People who talk loudly on there cell in the store as well. One time I was with my young daughters at the time, he was swearing and yelling to someone they about how they better pay the rent. He was with his wife and very young daughter. Someone told him to please keep it down and the wife told them to F off.

I could go on and on... :soapbox: :D

People who walk through doors in front of you, then don't look back and see you coming and hold the door for you.

Then, I am so peeved, I don't look back behind me. :o

Yeah, the grocery store cart-in-the-freeking-middle-of-the-isle thing whith the shopper with the deer in the headlights look in their eyes gets me too. (Of course, I have never done this). I always (usually) stop my cart alongside the shelf as close as possible, so others can get around.

And then, on the freeway, merging in, people in the lane you will be merging onto, they speed up and won't let you in. WHHHYYYY???? :confused:

And then, on the freeway, merging in, people in the lane you will be merging onto, they speed up and won't let you in. WHHHYYYY???? :confused:

Where I live it's right off the highway only way in or out of my street is by highway (there is a street for emergence vehicles only) this happens to us on a daily bases :mad:

I think your creative muse and my writing muse must have eloped together. That would explain a lot! How long has it been since yours is gone?
Things have been slowly dwindling over the course of the last two months :( its gotten harder and harder to create over this period of time.

Right now my pet peeve is that between one kid and another I am just not getting enough sleep :faint:.

My Peeve....WHEN PEOPLE SAY THE SAME THING OVER, AND OVER, AND OVER in a conversation, I mean, cant we just make it a general rule, that saying something OUNCE in a conversations is ENOUGHF!!

My Peeve....WHEN PEOPLE SAY THE SAME THING OVER, AND OVER, AND OVER in a conversation, I mean, cant we just make it a general rule, that saying something OUNCE in a conversations is ENOUGHF!!:eyebrow: you mean something like "Dattebayo!" or possibly "Believe it!" :p

No, like someone saying "Yea, Its gonna rain today" 3 times in the same conversation!!!

*its proabley a southern thing*

No, like someone saying "Yea, Its gonna rain today" 3 times in the same conversation!!!

*its proabley a southern thing*Obviously you have not yet watched enough of the subbed Japanese eps...he says "Dattebayo!" at the end of nearly every sentence and it means...nothing at all http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/kzrainbow/icon_perplexed.gif

As for the southern thing, I dunno. The old man does not do that and I don't talk to enough of the people in these parts to notice that myself. ;)

Today's pet peeve...unannounced and uninvited guests! ESPECIALLY Spacemania's buddies! My house sounds like a circus right now and I am going to flip sooner or later...y'all need to pray for me! :mad::mad::mad:

Well I've always had two, and they're just rearing their ugly heads again. That would be math, and twins.

I'm horrible at math. And twins, no matter how hard I try, I CANNOT tell them apart. This happened yesterday:
Me: Oh, hey Josh
Ryan: I'm Ryan!
10 minutes later
Me: How's it going Kat?
Jen:...it's Jen
Later
Me: Ben?
Owen: Owen!

People who don't start writing their checks until AFTER the clerk rang up all their purchases. The freaking line is slow enough already and then, then, they go and enter it in the register and don't move out of the freaking way so the next person can get checked out. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

I have more but this one is a stand out.....

People with 20 items in the 10 item express lane at the store!!! Then they have the nerve to try and get the exact change to give to the cashier instead of giving an extra dollar!!!

My pet peve for today, People that can't wait for my to write my check at the cash register, and people who don't understand the kind of personal bliss exact change can give a person!!!

(scarcasm, and hurmor included)

oh vhan, that is a wicked sense of humor-love it! you got me-badda bing

someone using the last of the toilet paper....and not telling anyone... tissue please !!!!

"Honest Do Pete"--this phrase makes ABSOLUTELEY NO SENCE TO ME WHAT-SO-EVER!? why do people even say it?

my pet peeve is wet socks and

cuffs on a shirt. it bugges me

I hate wet socks too, so a pet peeve is people who muck up the bathroom floor and don't dry it off.

My current pet peeve at the moment in my toddler's inconsistent sleeping patterns. She put herself to bed tonight and I was so glad about that...then she woke up at 3 AM and is full of energy and I am exhausted! :faint:

My pet peeve is people who interrupt me when I talk. I can't stand that~~!

I don't talk that much, so when I actually do, it's something I really want to say and I'd be very happy if people listened. I never interrupt others when they're talking, but unfortunately, other people doesn't seem to have that as a rule...

People who steal your parking space (would love to be like Kathy Bates in Fried Green Tomatoes).

Really tall people who buy cheap tickets for a show, then sneak to the seats in front of me (not so tall) in the dark, after the show has started! If only their chairs would break under their tremendous weight!

Telephone solicitors who call you during your dinner hour (thank goodness for caller ID)...

sounds stupid...but i have a low tolerance for high pitch noises...I hate it when people whistle it makes my skin crawl.

Supermarkets that close ridiculously early (European pet peeve). I need to buy cat food!!!

My ongoing peeve is when the payoffice stuffs up and i have to go through protocol for the pay i deserve that "should"<< i use this word now,...of been due on payday!!thats a real pain in the butt!!! its happened 3 pays running now.....next week theyd better get it right:(

Current pet peeve; health care systems and psychologists who never have the time and work incredibly slowly :(

Todays is: walking along the main street shops,for me its like playing dodgem'cars

Doctor's who schedule appointments then tell you after you get there that they are running way behind and "would you like to wait an hour (read 2 hours) or reschedule"? UGH, my time is just as valuable (not to mention the waste of gas).

I was at a party two days ago... I kept getting lifted and thrown in the pool. Dunking me while I'm in a pool is fine, but I have this fear of being lifted (goes back to when I was a kid), and I got thrown in like 57 times x_x

Wet socks
Wet cuffs on blouses or a shirt

People interupting me when i have not finshed a sentence or thought.

I hate wet socks too - and get interupted all the time - so am learning to deal with it.

At this moment, my pet peeve is rotation servers :mad:...does my sigline appear to to be rotating to anyone? It does not seem to be to me....

people who drive like idiots and are a danger on the road. I watched four people yesterday run a red light.

Rude people who are in your way, talking away on their cell-phones, in the middle of a store, preventing you from getting your items...

Yes , Crazy it is changing constantly. is it doing it automatically?

Yes , Crazy it is changing constantly. is it doing it automatically?Yes its programmed to do so.

Current peeve: housework and my ability to keep up with it. I either ignore it or do it all at once, and I do mean ALL of it at once! Like not changing the sheets, nooooo, I have to wash the pillows and all the blankets when I change sheets. :rolleyes:

I hope you have some spare pillows if they are still wet tonight. My pet peeve is people who leave the freezer door open at the grocery store, so all the good icecream is soft when I go to get it...

Another peeve: my medication schedule. Take this 3 times a day, take this 4 times a day, take this twice a day :rolleyes: how am I supposed to keep track of all this with my kids up my butt?

when people dont understand me ,what I have just said,like in class.

Peeves me when people bump posts for no reason I can determine...sigh. Just a thing that irks me, I guess. Lord knows I bump posts when I feel the need to answer one, like the games "Whatcha Listening To?" and so forth.

My pet peeve is case workers who are beligerant on the phone - my workers comp has been a nightmare, and she acts as if it is a walk in the park "just go back to work"... no duh!!! I would be working, if I hadn't just had surgery less than two weeks ago - that the average person has to have 6 weeks or more of physical therapy for to get back into shape...

I wanted to say, sure I will go back to my job, when you develop some compassion...

My pet peeve right now is that when the forum was full, I was busy, and now that I am unable to sleep, its dead.

Annoying commercial jingles. Especially when they sing the phone number.

People who call me on the phone to ask me to switch to their phone service, when I already have that service. Do they hire dunces?

people who call me on the phone and cant take no for an answer

People who come over without calling first! :mad:

- Not being able to sleep when I need to.
- Being interrupted when I've just managed to get into 'the zone'.

As C~F mentioned on a previous thread - the unmated sock basket. As soon as I throw out the basket of unmated socks - all the kids suddenly find the mates...

LOL

teacher giving us a research paper in summer semester....!!!!!

As C~F mentioned on a previous thread - the unmated sock basket. As soon as I throw out the basket of unmated socks - all the kids suddenly find the mates...We actually find socks that we've never seen before! The pass through the great transwarp conduit called the Wah-Shing-Mash-Een. It's terrible... all those lost socks... sniff.

I always thought there was a monster in the washing machine that ate socks.

Nah they are all trying to get back to their roots is all. They escape and try to return to the Mother Planet (of Socks) and if you ever see a sock in the gutter? That poor fella did not make it home :(...darn stupid creatures, socks.

My peeve today is a big one: pharmacies that refuse to get their acts together! Eckerd's for refusing to have the damn sense to order the medications Space and I take in advance of the refills...now we refill this stuff every month, yet every time they go :eek: "OMG! Dexadrine spansules! We don't HAVE any of THOSE!!" :mad: ******s...I told you 3 months running, ahead of time, to place a stinking order for this med.

WalFart, for claiming that they had plenty of my IR, in brand no less! And when I show up today? They mysteriously have DESTROYED all the dex tablets. Somehow in less than 2 months time this stuff has passed its expiration?? WTF?!

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I feel for you CF. Eckerd's is a pharmacy I refuse to deal with anymore. Every single time I had a script - they would take forever to fill it. There were plenty of times that I would have the doctors office call it in - and even hours later when I arrived to pick it up - they still hadn't filled it...

I Love the mom and pop drug stores - like the independently franchised Medicine Shoppe (one of my best friends is a pharmacist and own's a MS - her dad convinced her to stop wasting her time as a nurse, and put her through pharmacy school - then when she graduated he bought another franchised Medicine Shoppe just for her to run. Nice deal huh?

That's my next move, I swear it. WF botched this so badly they almost made Eckerd look good! I wonder if the Mom & Pops might actually give a **** that we need these medicines every month, right when the RX runs out, not a week later?

Yes - I occasionally still deal with Wallyworld for some of my scripts, but I am gradually taking them all to the mom and pop stores. They don't charge any more (my copay is the same - and what they actually bill the insurance company is actually less than some of the bigger pharmacies), so they can use my money more.

Oh lord, my pet peeve right now is the obstinacy of toddlers. SOMEHOW she left her fave pillow at Granny's and this is, out of the blue, a major crisis.

:faint: its been missing a week, but NOW its a disaster to her....

Stupid pain-in-the-*** insurance company that doesn't cover the meds my doctor wants to prescribe. And he says it's cheaper than the ones they do allow. Wonder if I can get a list of what they do cover, so when I go for my next appointment - which I should make soon - I'll won't have to phone them and ask.

Have you got a website for the insurance co. NonSequitur? Sometimes the website has the complete formulary as to what they cover and for how much, etc. HTH! I had a PITA company like that too, until recently...sooooooo annoying! :mad:

Yes, they have a website, and I keep meaning to look it up but there's always something else that distracts me. lol Wonder why that is?

Idiots! I go to the website, jump through all the hoops to get to Register now, click it and doesn't go anywhere. :mad:

Idiots! I go to the website, jump through all the hoops to get to Register now, click it and doesn't go anywhere. :mad:That happened to me too! Weird!

Its there somewhere though, right? If we remind you you can find it again?

*%¥§@# stupid trains when they leave the station they HAVE to honk their 300 decibel horn and cause everyone's ear drums to explode. Why oh why do they have to make them so F***ing loud.

Its there somewhere though, right? If we remind you you can find it again?

I bookmarked it so I can check back later. I'll try again after hubby gets home, it's his plan through work, and if it still doesn't work he can phone them.

Well then let's hope this is one peeve less for ADDers, one peeve more for the bin!

My current peeve is adolescent females and phone usage :mad: I am so glad I have a cell; in case of emergencies I would have to surgically remove the house phone from Space's ear first before I would use it!

My pet peeve today is people who ask you a question, then if they don't like your answer, will go ask someone else the same question...

turn singnals, they are not an option on a car, yet no one uses them. :eek: that is my biggest pet peeve.

Oh Lunaslobo, what about the guy who is going around the world to the left, and has his turn signal on for at least 20 miles? :rolleyes:

Oh Lunaslobo, what about the guy who is going around the world to the left, and has his turn signal on for at least 20 miles? :rolleyes:then turns right right in front of you :rolleyes:

then turns right right in front of you :rolleyes:Yea, that guy!

Why is he always wearing a baseball cap? :eyebrow:

Isnt he the one that is wearing a shirt with no sleaves and spitting tabaco out the window?

Yea! That guy!

Don't ya just wanna pull up beside him and yell something random at him, like "I SAW YOU PICKING YOUR NOSE AT THE LAST STOPLIGHT!!"?

was that the stop light in front of the walmart?

Yes, right where he cut you off without ever looking but before he turned on that stupid left turn signal.

Come to think of it...wasn't he actually picking his nose?

Up until yesterday I would have answered that my pet peeves were the pharamists in this town, who would tell me that "Dexadrine spansules just are not prescribed much anymore" :rolleyes: and then never have an adequate amount on hand to fill my RX completely, even though they KNEW I would be back the next month.

As of today, and ongoing, one of my pet peeves is that my hubby always allows someone to use our car to drive him out to the truck-drop when he leaves out. Not only does that deprive me of my car for that period of time...but he also quite often allows a cousin of his to drive him, and the woman hardly ever takes a shower (in SC!) :eek: and to be quite honest, the woman stinks. I am hypersensitive to odors and this is intolerable to me, that she should have her smelly self in my driver's seat!


That's nasty!! How can anyone stand not to take a shower, especially when it's hot!! YUCK. If I go more than 24 hours without a shower, even during the winter, I feel icky.

Is she allergic to soap and water or something?

How about the person who speeds up, when you are trying to pass him on the left (on a two lane), then when the road narrows, he slows right down to a crawl, just to tick you off.... Don't you just love those drivers?

That's nasty!! How can anyone stand not to take a shower, especially when it's hot!! YUCK. If I go more than 24 hours without a shower, even during the winter, I feel icky.

Is she allergic to soap and water or something?I didn't make it as bad I could have Jett, no kidding. She also lives in a single-wide trailer with about 8 cats, 3 dogs, and several forms of rodentia: guinea pigs, hamsters, etc. The place reeks of litter box and dirty rodent cages. And so does she :faint:.

I forgot to post a peeve...and sure enough one happened right after my last post.

:mad: My cell phone, and phone calls in general. There is no medication on Earth that can make a phone call any less distracting for me. And the old man is OTR...he gets bored...and sure enough he calls me and there is nothing to say!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! :faint:

As long as we are on the topic of phone calls, who here hasn't had their dinner interrupted by a telemarketer? That is a pet peeve of mine, unless there is an emergency - no phone calls at dinner time...

My pet peeve today is wanna-be experts. Just because you think you know? Does not mean you KNOW.

And I think that people like that need to STFU and get out of the way. Just a peeve of mine.

I got a new one tonight. I just love to complain!!

How about people who are so sensitive about having been disagreed with one time that they practically stalk you, just to disagree with you over and over again?

Geez get a life! :rolleyes:

Yikes! That sounds like my "boss". (I guess me referring to him as my "substitute boss" had something to do with it.)
My pet peeve for today are co-workers who are really just good at one thing, i.e. kissing up to the real boss, and keep getting promoted so they can stalk and bully little heyabirds for every tiny speck of criticism. :mad:

I am very much getting seriously peeved off my sketchup today. why wont the ******* program do what I want to do for a change??????????????????????????

is frigg(i)n a swear word?

Why do you need to know? Swear for us in Afrikaans, broaden our horizons!

Fok Ja! Aan gesien dat niemand hier afrikaans kan praat nie kan ek fokken mal gaan. Maar lat ek nie te veel kak praat nie, ek weet daar sal een doner wees wat iets verstaan dan is ek in my moer in. . . . . . *translation* . . . everyone have a nice day.:D :D :D

Nie te veel kak praat nie??? :D I love me some double negations! Thanks!

Oh are we doing this now! YATTA!

Nani mitendayo, kora! Ittai nani ga hoshi tenda? Bakamano...


My pet peeve at this moment is the freaking cuss filter that makes me edit perfectly good Romanji into forms it was never intended to be in, in order to get past!

Shimatta...

Okay you guys, the only swear words I know in another language are merde, putain, chier - and for those who know french, you know what they mean.

hehehe. its nice that someone knows a bit of Afrikaans. . think form now on Ill add some afrikaans side notes with my posts. Sal beVok wees!

My pet peeve. . . going to a very formal event that a girl invited me to and straining to keep anything interesting going. . . wow was she boring. . . .wens ek kon langarm

Langarm? BeVok? Please clarify! I think I got the rest. Oh, and be careful to avoid the cussing filter (does this forum have one?).
Actually, what I like even more than foreign swear words is words or abbreviations that are totally harmless in one language, but totally and utterly obscene in another. So you take a stroll through a foreign city and see those super-taboo swear words plastered all over the walls... Nice.

Pet peeve for today? Having to wait for doctor's appointments for more than a month... In the meantime this whole scheiss-situation is not getting any better.

Yes this forum has a cussing filter :( which ruins prefectly good syllables in Romanji..shi ta is what I have to type for something that is pronounced shtah and has nothing to do with the word is resembles when typed correctly. But I can type kuso and actually mean it. Its weird.

But I can see why its in place, too. Too many impulsive people in a family setting leads to too much cussing and its too likely to offend someone. Hence the filter.

Langarm - a dance we do, youll only really know it if you got involved in the afrikaans culture. its a very formalized dance.
bevok "befok" - not sure which one is spelt rite. but its fu*#k in afrikaans, with some zest. swear words in afrikaans are the best, "fok" is my fav, but it does not have such a sexual/nasty connatation to it.
But there are some afrikaans swear words that would never leave my lips.

*poo-poos the very notion of swear words leaving lips in a place where everything is typewritten*

my fingers will rot off if i type some afrikaans swear words. Afrikaans has a way with swear words like no other lanuage. besides, what I type i say out in my head. . . . wont fill my head with dirty things . . . . daar praat ek weer kak

Oh stuff and nonsense! Y'all might have a way with curse words? But the Japanese have everybody beat for sheer quantity and amazing variety regarding insults.

hehehehe . . . . ek is darm bly dat sy nie afrikaans ooit sal verstaan nie. . . I think foreign swear words are great because of the sad over use of the words. swear words in english have lost their use as a "ooh my gosh. . . he did not just say. . . ". there is no more effect in english no more

Right now my pet peeve is people who do not return messages. Wouldn't I say it was no big deal if it was no big deal?

Other peeve....well, snort ProcrastN8R! That's the puzzle.

My pet peeve today is people who wait until after their doctor's office has already closed to bring in the prescription to the pharmacy, promptly tying up the pharmacist who can't read their doctor's handwriting...
