Monday Morning Pet Peeves!

AlexiaANDRobert

Cause I already have a case of the Mondays!Rant here so you can get it off your chest!!! - People who block their lane in traffic trying to get over when they're really just cutting people off.- People who have wedding websites for others to pay for their wedding. If you can't afford it, don't do it!!!

People on FB whose updates are "woe is me" constantly!  Are their lives really THAT horrible ALL THE TIME??  Everyone has a bad day, and bad things happen to good people.  I'm not talking about that.  For some people it just seems to be one whiney thing after another and honestly, people start to not care anymore.  And really, if their lives are that bad, maybe they should get off of FB and try doing something about it!!

AlexiaANDRobert

Oh Sarah! That's a great one. I've got another: - People who are so insecure, they feel better by talking about how awesome they are or their life is and how they're so much better than everyone else.  Really!?! If you were that much better, you wouldn't have to talk about it so much!

- People who use the handicap bathroom who are obviously not handicap when there are 20 other stalls available.-  People who take the elevator up ONE floor when there is a staircase 5 feet away- People who pop their gum

People who take the elevator up ONE floor when there is a staircase 5 feet awayThis annoys the crap out of me, yet I've been so LAZY/TIRED lately, that I've been doing.  Alexia = FAIL!

Alexia- I agree and I love you.Stover- you too. totally.People who think everything is about THEM. because it's not.People who take advantage of others just because they think they can.People who are conceited and think they are the smartest, coolest, cutest, prettiest, etc.People who have to "one up" others all the time.People who throw nothing but pity parties for themselves.

I CAN NOT STAND when people can not do thier jobs. If you can not do your own job, get a new one!! I also can not stand when employees talk amongst themselves about personal things when they are dealing with customers. I went to get a new phone activated yesterday and as I am standing there trying to be serviced, all four employees were discussing who was going to pick up lunch and what they were going to get. Even when she finally started to help me, they continued to try to have this conversation.

People who apparently think "leaving a voicemail" means, "tell me your detailed message for 5 mins for someone who is in an entirely different location because oooobviously I can hand it to that person."*whew* I'm "ranty" today. lol.

bcnoelle

Skyhynes-  I have to hide so many people on my mini-feed due to aggrevation!  But my pet peeve are people who constantly tell me how awesome their lives are....and who have quotes like "If you were me you would love your life too".  I don't mind the whiners as much.Bentleybabe- your Grammar Police badge scares me!

John and Charisma <3

"If you were me you would love your life too".I can not believe people are that in love with themselves! wow! Yeah, that would bother me even more than the pity parties.

I cannot stand people who prey on other people just because they are not as confident as they are. I cannot STAND friends who can't be happy for other friends just because they haven't reached a certain stage in their lives (i.e. marriage, baby, etc) SOOOOOO ANNOYING! Get over it, your time will come so stop referring everything to you so that we can remember that you're single! Oh and i cant stand ppl that act like "well if this was my wedding" "if this was my dress"...guess what... it ISNT! *sigh* You guys brought this out of me! i was having a pretty good monday! LOL One more thing...i can't stand ppl that act like other ppl's jobs are insignificant. I'm a speech therapist (and you would think ppl see the importance) but because they dont know what i do...they just think i do paperwork! Listen here lady, if your kid cant speech properly cuz he stutters or cant say his "s" sound, or has trouble answering questions...who do you think they pay the big bucks to?! ME! LOL OK i'm done.

I get annoyed with novels on FB.  I don't need every single detail of your entire day.  And since I am on a FB rant, I get annoyed with people who post on FB that they just don't have enough time....uh then get off FB.  OR the people who use it for their political platform....ok, I get it you are a conservative/liberal/independent/etc.

When people make an appointment at my office and then don't show up and don't take the time to call and cancel.

SarahSmile23

on the fb note...people who talk about religion all the time or how "blessed" they are. we get it, you go to church all the time, you feel like your children/job/husband/house/pet is a gift from God, and you feel blessed. WE GET IT! i'm seriously going to delete a handful of people if they don't find something else to talk about.

BentleyBaby

bcnoelle- haha. don't be scared. I AM the grammar police and I'm not afraid to say that. I generally only call people out if what they write is heeeeeinously bad. Obviously no one is perfect, myself certainly included. But I have been known to write to companies to tell them how bad their writing is. For example, Orlando Style sent out an e-newsletter that spelled the following wrong: "t-sh!t," "diner (instead of dinner)," "Nieman Marcus," "cal (instead of call)," and they ended a statement with a question mark "you can find Orlando Style at Publix, etc?" lol. I emailed them back about that. That's ridiculous.

- People who have wedding websites for others to pay for their wedding. If you can't afford it, don't do it!!! Seriously?!?!  They have those?  wow, I've never heard of those.-to the receptionist at my work.  Please get the information correct when a patient calls!  How the heck does Evelyn sound anything like Barbara!!!!!!

John and Charisma <3

Holy crap, Leah! That makes me want to join the Grammar Police Force! Sarah- I completely agree! I have an aunt (the same one who is upset that I take birth control) who has constant fb updates about being catholic. I am already Catholic and I am pretty sure everyone she is friends with on fb is so I don't understand...

SarahSmile23

sigh. i just logged onto fb and a fellow knottie has as her status that she is blessed. my comment wasn't in reaction to your status! i hadn't signed on yet. it was actually referencing one of my bridesmaids and all of her friends who live in alabama. it's literally all they post about. over and over and over again.foot-in-mouth lol. sorry!

BentleyBaby

I generally hate when people expect everyone else to pay for anything for them. Weddings, medical bills, etc. Like the family on tv who was holding a charity for their daughter's medical bills because she almost died from Swine Flu. I'm sorry your story is sad. It's very unfortunate. But life is tough. There is ALWAYS someone in the world who has it worse than you. I'm not paying your daughter's medical bills.This, of course, excludes charities who benefit research, families in need, etc. I'm just talking about individual people asking for help.

bl0ndebunny

Blonde- I have to take the elevator up instead of the staircase because i'd probably die walking up the stairs so much :-(  I also have to use the handicap sometimes when my back really hurts because its hard to sit sometimes afer my back surgery....I get the worst looks from people but its hard to tell that I have a numb foot and leg unless you're me :-)i hate people who take and take and take and never say thank you or rreciprocate the favor...I hate that I wake up with the worst headache EVER on Mondays :-(I hate that my fiance has to go back to work on Mondays :-(I hate when people cant respond to emails in a timely manner....

SarahSmile23

it annoys me that my MIL says "irregardless" instead of "regardless."she says it all the time. in fact, she just said it. i heard her in the other office.

SarahSmile23

oh, and we have told MIL the difference between the 2 words and she doesn't care!

AlexiaANDRobert

LMAO I hate when people add an 's' to anyway.  It's anyway, NOT anyways. I hate when people call my dad a realator.  Nope.  There is only one 'a', he's not a realator, he's a realtor. Mispronounciations (sp?) drives me NUTS! FI calls one of his relatives Aunt Natlie.  Um yeah, it's Aunt NatAlie.

I get annoyed at bikers they are all about "sharing the road" well if I am going to share the road with you maybe you can share the same driving rules as us cars do...like stopping for red lights.

it annoys me that my MIL says "irregardless" instead of "regardless."Good to know I am not the only one who has to deal with this kind of thing! MIL says "monies" and all sorts of other ridiculous things.

I'm knot at work

Aw, blondebunny, we know you have a reason to use the elevator.  We're not hating on you!My pet peeve is the constant "poor me" status updates on facebook.  "Going to work even though I'm soooo sick b/c no one would cover for me, sigh."  "running around like crazy trying to get the kids ready for school, then picking them up and doing it all over again."  I have to unsubscribe from updates on people like that.  I don't need that negativity.

apparently, i sometimes abuse the word "hopefully." hahaha. i am not guilty of the other ones, though, and I only abuse "hopefully" on the rare occasion! i realize it's incorrect and I still do it.

skhynes

I had no clue about "hopefully," but it makes sense if you think about it!
