[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Pet Peeves - IRL Edition : My first job was at Subway. I was really good about not putting a shitton of mayo on the sandwiches. But people always asked for more.

Last week while getting lunch I saw a lady have the girl making her sandwich add more mayo on three times. .  It was mayo, with a little bit of bread.  I can't imagine I was discreet about how jaw dropped I was.  It was like a train wreck.  So gross.

Oh, CS, I have a friend who's kind of like that. Except she hangs out with 80s has-been rock stars and hangers-on to make herself feel awesome. Uh, Quiet Riot was popular when your MOM was in high school, dear. (True story - her mom graduated in 1984.) It does not make you cool. And she is always broke as well, so it's not like her band-following has landed her a job or anything.

People who fly down the highway in the rain in dark cars without their headlights on and have to slam on their brakes or get into accidents, resulting in 40mph traffic in the rain.  If you didn't fly, we'd all be able to drive a reasonable speed.

People who think that getting engaged/married meant that I should start popping out babies, pronto.

Ditto seshat on people who say renting is a waste of money or throwing money away.  If someone can't or doesn't want to be a homeowner, that's their decision.  Especially considering the number of people who bought homes that were too expensive for them.

Sunrise, that's a problem here too.  People go to the ER when they should go to their physician in the morning or go to an urgent care center instead.  It increases the cost of health insurance for the rest of us.  And a lot of people do have $25-35 copayments or deductibles they have to meet before the insurance starts covering those visits.

so, what IS a Michigan left turn?

gottahavashorti

Is it like a Pittsburgh left turn?

OMGYES on the check-out line/cart up my ass thing. I always turn around really quickly, "accidentally" shove their own cart into their gut, and pretend I've forgotten something. Then I apologize profusely and say that whatever I needed wasn't that important and turn back around. It works every time. I've also "unintentionally" bumped into people shoving to get onto the elevator as I'm getting off it.

People who constantly whine about things in their lives they actually can control. Either deal with it and STFU, end it and STFU, but in any case STFU. If you aren't willing to change whatever is wrong in your life because it's too easy to sit back and whine, then I don't have time to listen. So, again, STFU.

Oh yeah. I remember those. People are weird about Subway. They think Subway = health food even if you order a footlong meatball with extra cheese and bacon.

[QUOTE]In Response to Pet Peeves - IRL Edition : I honestly don't care if it's a person who is well-spoken, I still can't stand the "I SEND YOUR ASS BACK TO MEXICO BEFORE I PRESS 1 FOR ENGLISH!!!!!!" mentatlity. I definietly get frustrated sometimes when there's a language barrier with someone and they get mad at me for not understanding them when they don't speak English. I'll openly admit that. However, I think that the way people flip out over that is obnoxious and shows intolerance. What's even more frustrating to me is when it's people that I know and respect as Christians and they go on like that. I immediately think, "what happened to loving everyone as Jesus did?" Actually, I have that issue with lots of fellow Christians on several topics.

I agree with this.

But yeah. It's like, "dude, you can't even speak one language. At least this guy can speak about one and a half languages."

Or people who post passive agressive comments on FB. Like, "If any of you don't like x, y and z, you don't have to read it. And you don't have to show it to anyone else either!" Just defriend and block. Not that hard.

Ziti - They ran a story on the news a couple of days before it opened.  I think it's one of those things where if you watched the news right before it opened, or checked the city's website you would probably know about it.  Otherwise, you're screwed and didn't know what was going on.  I think they issued 50+ warnings yesterday.  Anyone that is from out of town wouldn't know about it, since it's apparently the only one in the DFW area.

Steph - a Michigan left turn is where instead of making a left at the intersection, you make a right instead.  Then you have to merge to the left lanes of the road, then make a U-turn.

Blegh, that's so frustrating.

lpstl

People who use anecdotal experience to argue points. For example
"Driving drunk could kill you"
"Well I drove drunk last night and I'm fine, so you're obviously wrong!"

People who call me in response to an email or text. There's a reason I didn't call you first.

amylydia23

Basically you have to make a right to go left... I get the concept but my H gets so defensive about it when I say it's stupid but  it's because I am not used to it.  I think I wouldn't mind it if he didnt make such a big deal about how MI is so much more advanced than any other state.

I hate all the chain status updates on facebook.  "blah blah blah blah repost this if you love lettuce / a soldier / your dad / Thursdays / Jesus / Maddog2020.    Who's bright idea was this??

pirategal03

People who walk up to me and light a cigarette when I'm obviously eating lunch. 

Some woman just did this to FI and I a few minutes ago.  Incredibly rude. 

deepcovejackie

Oh yeah, I have another one, as Mery said, passive-aggressive FB comments. 

True story, One of FI's "friends" just posted "If anyone thinks my FB status updates have anything to do with my EX or my BREAKUP with my EX, well their (sic) wrong!!!111!111!". 

[Deleted User]

When people don't return emails or voicemails. Guess what, cvnt? If it wasn't important, I wouldn't have called or emailed you about it. Ahhh!

People who have an entire FB album called "Me" or "Just me" or "Hot" and they are usually all club bathroom self portraits with duckface.

People who have to have the last word. Always.

Negative people. Jesus. That can't be fun.

People who are intolerant of other people's cultures.

The Dutch.

Pittsburgh lefts are pretty cool.

Our here, you just have to make a left on the yellow and hope no one comes flying through the intersection at the last minute. I think we could use some of those Michigans left turns. But out here, the cloverleaf ramps on highways are an anomoly because our freeways are so old.

katiewhompus

People who think that saying "Maybe you should want it more" will help ttc. I'm pretty sure that's not the problem. Same thing with people who were pregnant right away and go "Oh 11 months trying isn't that long". Or "There's always next month!"

I can't stand when people get snippity that immigrants, legal or not, can't speak English when they have only been in the country 6 months. No 6 months is not long enough to learn a language as complicated as ours. We require 12 years of school to learn it and most still speak it incorrectly.

Also, people who move to other countries (for longer than a year), refuse to learn the language, then biitch that no one speaks English so they can't talk to anyone. At least try!

[Deleted User]

On the slut issue: women who think that club dressy = work dressy. No. It doesn't. Club dressy usually = whore.

People who use big words to sound smart, but use those big words incorrectly. It just seems like a great deal of energy to waste when the end result is still douche.

BecW2be

EW, overtanners. I can't figure out what's so appealing about 1. tanning yourself to leathery death and 2. being attracted to those tanning themselves to a leathery death. What's the appeal? Can't you just cut a hole in your leather sofa and bang that for a while? Same difference, only you don't have to buy the sofa dinner first.

katiewhompus

I looked at the diagram and I still don't understand the left turn thing...guess Dh is driving if/when we go to Michigan

Drama queens. It's like they aren't happy with life unless they're bitching about something.

My best friend is vegan and it really bugs me when someone makes fun of her for not eating meat. It's not like she makes fun of you for eating Bambi, this isn't junior high.

Women who dress and act slutastic then complain about how hard it is to find a guy who wants to be in a committed relationship.

I wonder what is more tragic, a woman in her 20's doing that because she has not figured it out yet or a 40 something cougar type who damn well ought to know better?

Being the age I am, I have more single friends now than I did when I was 25 because it seems so many have gotten divorced and are now seeking husband number two or three (or claim to be seeking a LTR/Marriage deal, anyway).

Lots of them do this, too.

When DF leaves his clothes on the couch or the living room floor. or his freakin size 14 shoes right in a walk way. What? Are you trying to "off" me?! Ugh. at least throw them on the floor in the correct room...work with me!

Voice mails saying, "it's me, call me back."

I know i have plenty more...they'll come to me
