PET PEEVES?

Oh I have so many! And you know you're with the right person when something they do just doesn't seem to bother you.

One of my biggest PPs is people not picking up their feet. In the winter it's dragging their Ugg boots (that are not fit properly to their feet) and in the summer it's dragging their flip flops.

junebug19 · February 2012

I have too many to list here but I really hate when people let their fork scrape across their front teeth, it sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me; and when chew and eat so lud you can hear them across the room. My co worker does this and I can't wait until his lunch is over.

kellycatalo · February 2012

I hate when people chew with their mouth open, or talk with food in their mouth. it's so gross. it doesn't help that i am an engineer so i work with a bunch of nerdy guys who don't have too much ettiquette or manners. i had to stop eating lunch with them because it became so annoying!

DirtyWater · February 2012

I hate when people hold their forks like cavemen and its just sitting in their fist and they raise their elbow up and everything. Also, when people guard their food and hunch over the plate.

At work I hate when people read the sign that if you are not a licensed professional you can not enter our place of business and still enter.

Another work one, is when I'm teaching a class and people feel because I look younger than what I am they can try to bully me and badger me with crazy questions, thinking I wont know how to handle myself or know the answer to the question. Just because they have been in the business a little longer than me doesn't mean that I'm not trained at a higher level than them.

I'm with you Kelly! My FI chews with his mouth open and as much as I love him, I can't stand it!! That is absolutely my biggest pet peeve.

smartlypretty · February 2012

My biggest (and I know this sounds very silly) is when people eat over a table/counter top and they don't wipe up their cumbs or drop some on the floor. DRIVES ME NUTS.

OMG, my F-step son, will wipe his crumbs off of the table onto the floor. He did this last night, so he's on floor duty for a week.

This! I told FI that if he doesn't learn to chew with his mouth closed everyone at our wedding is going to be sick from looking at his half chewed food rolling around in his mouth. Ugh, so gross.

adktd2boots · February 2012

chewing with the mouth open IS a big deal! I wonder if people are just never taught these things! Along with the caveman shoveling.

We've had a few guys come in to our office lately who are "breathers". One guy was so loud, I started looking around thinking "wtf is that sound?" I even lowered Pandora to see if it was in the song. Nope, it was an applicant. I IMd the lady across from me then hid behind my computer screen to keep from laughing. The boss of the department he applied for was sitting right there, so after we asked "what did you think of that guy?" He said "who, the breather?! I can't hire a guy who breathes that loud!"
And yesterday we had a guy who was mildly snoring while filling out his application. I know those are conditions you probably can't quite help, but really? Has nobody ever told you how LOUD you breathe?

CowgirlK39 · February 2012

I have a few:

1) Speed limits! Drive that and maybe even 5 mph over! Also, if a road is NOT labelled at any point, it is 55 mph. Go back to driver's ed and reread this section. Please do not go 40 or 45 in a 55.

2) If I am hangin out with you, or we make a date to go do something together, do NOT be on your phone the whole time texting. Go make plans with that person instead if its THAT important that you speak to them while you and I are out.

3) Don't ask me for my opinion on your issue, then say "No, thats not it." Clearly you don't know if you are asking.

4) Don't touch my stuff. If you sit at my desk, or you come in my apartment, don't dig thru my things or alter things I have placed somewhere. My mother is famous for this because she is a perfectionist and can't stand to see something not where she thinks it should be. We went mudding one day and left our dirty clothes outside because we have no basement or garage to put them. She picked them up, took them home and washed them. I am completely capable of doing that... LEAVE THEM THERE.

5) Know-it-all's, especially in the workplace. If you are not a high ranking employee, or have not been here very long, do NOT act like you are God's gift to this company.

Posted by adktd2boots[/QUOTE]

Hahaha. This might be mean but these people sound just like my uncle! My uncle is working 2 states away from his family, so he lives with us 5 days a week. You know he's home from four rooms away because you can hear him breathing. Its so gross too because his breath smells like something rotting. I hate sitting next to him watching TV, I have sensitive ears and it kills me to have to make the TV louder.

Also, he SMELLS! Last night I tried to make an example of showering in front of him using my F-Step son. He didn't want to shower after the gym because he was going to shower in the morning. So naturally this was a prime opportunity to say that he needs to brush his teeth 3 times daily and that we shower 1-2 times a day depending on if you went to the gym that day. That it didn't matter if he was going to shower in the morning too, I'd rather have a clean smelling house and roommates than have my house smell like an Italian sub!

He left the room right after. I felt guilty ALL night!

beckyboo27 · February 2012

How much time do you have? Hahaha! I have way too many pet peeves to list.

Oh, I do have one that is irritating me atm. People who pee on the toilet seat and don't wipe it up. We share a bathroom with three other offices in our building, so it's not a "public" bathroom, but it's not entirely private either. I just came back from using the bathroom, and the stall I was going to use had pee all over the seat. I was so disgusted, I gagged, and went into the other stall. Seriously, are people that slobish, they can't clean up after themselves after they use the restroom? It was a women's bathroom FFS. You sit down to pee!

*endrant*

i hate speed limits. let me drive 55 on side streets and 85-90 on highways, and i'll be happy. (probably why i have 4 speeding tickets, woops. no accidents though).

DirtyWater · February 2012

My other pet peeve is poop. Yes, I said poop!

It irritates me to no end, when people don't check to make sure the toilet flushed all the way. I can name two in particular. There is nothing worse than going into the bathroom and seeing a floatie. It might be because I'm slightly jealous that people can poop normally, but really? How the hell do these people have buoyant bowel movement?

No kidding! And if you're going to "hover" and get it all over the seat, I hate to think of what else you may have gotten it on! (why you NEVER out your purse on the floor)

beckyboo27 · February 2012

I hate it when people leave poop particles. If you're taking that big of a sh*t, that you're leaving remnants behind, do us a favor and flush again. My FI hates it when I flush twice because it "wastes water" but I'd rather pay more for water than go to the toilet and see that. Blech.

abcollins08 · February 2012

I hate when people pop and smack their chewing gum. A co-worker does this and it's so loud and annoying I have to put in my ear buds and listen to music.

Another co-worker is a chronic throat cleaner. I hear "a-hem" about 100 times a day. No lie! We haven't figured out if its a cold or just a habit.

BMcLeodTeam · February 2012

1) I HATE the sound of people chewing.
2) I hate people who ask 'how are you' only because they want you to ask 'and you' so they can rant about the petty problems in their lives
3) Speaking of petty problems, it drives me NUTS when people make a BIG deal out of a petty problem... honestly, don't you think there are bigger problems in the world than how horrible your day is because your pen won't work, or someone cut you off on the way to work..

I agree! People should be born knowing that when someone says "Hey, how are you?" the answer should always be something along the lines of "good" or "great". Unless you're super close with the person it's just a courtesy and they don't actually want to know that you didn't sleep last night because your dog had toxic gas.

Our cleaning lady does this, sortof. She has a cough with phlegm and it just disgusts me! I think it's from her chronic smoking habit.

Which also bothers me. Smoking. If you're a smoker, fine- kill yourself slowly. But don't make others suffer from your bad habit. And if you're smoking around kids, I honestly think you're a bad parent. No matter how good of a parent you are with the rest of your parenting.

-My dad smoked until I was about 12. He smoked in the house. I think back then they knew it was bad, but just didn't know how bad. Today, we know. If you must smoke, go outside. Don't ruin your home, and don't ruin other's health. And please don't do it in the car when non-smokers are in there!

Nail clipping is my biggest pet peeve! I can't stand when my co-workers clip them at their desk. I used to work with someone that would leave the clippings all over the place. We hid his clippers to try to resolve the problem, but he just used

scissors instead!! AHHH I hate the sound of the clip clip clip...just do it at home or in the bathroom!! Ick!

My co worker BITES his nails at his desk and his nails are so thick it sounds like he is gnawing on a branch and I can hear him across the room. I keep clippers & an emery board in my desk b/c my nails are always breaking and I always ask him "are you sure you don't want to clip those instead? or maybe file it down?" but he refuses! Prefers to chew them off. Yuck.

Um... EWWWW! I just gagged. My brother missed the trashcan back when I lived with my family and I stepped on one of his clippings. It actually punctured my foot, ugh. Needless to say he got a swift kickin in the butt. Never did it again!

I hate people that interrupt me. My coworker does it all the time. She talks 95% of the day, so when I have something I want to say, I better say it quick. I start to get something out and don't even get to finish my point when she cuts me off and continues on her 8 hour conversation.

I also can't handle people that are driving and don't know where they are going. I get stuck behind people that drive significantly under the speed limit and once they get to an intersection they slow down more to an almost complete stop, realize this isn't the turn they need, so they keep going until the next street. I wish cars had walkie talkies so I could yell at them instead of coming home and taking it out on my FI. lol

adktd2boots · February 2012

GROSSSSS!!

I think hygiene is the worst of bad habits. It's like- really?

I get disgusted to where I gag when people pick at themselves, and then eat it.

jessa1228 · February 2012

I agree with the speed limits. I am such an aggressive driver, yet I get pissed when someone tailgates me or speeds up to pass me. I HATE when people don't use turn signals, or signal AS THEY'RE TURNING.

I also agree with being interrupted while talking. My department has a little office, and a lot of times we'll be talking amongst ourselves about whatever, and a certain co-worker of mine will come flying into the office and just start talking over everyone like she's announcing her presence or something. Like we could be having a serious discussion about something and she'll just start right in with the word vomit before she even attempts to gauge the mood in the room. It's so awkward and obnoxious.

I literally laughed out loud when I read this! This has gotten brought up at our staff meetings at work and we have gotten e-mails about people leaving their poop behind!

I agree with what a lot of the other ladies have said. I hate speed limits and people that chew like a cow. My FI's biggest pet peeve is when people eat things like popcorn and chips loudly. We have had to more spots at the movies before because I thought he was going to kill someone.

caterpillar85 · February 2012

Poop... lol

A guy at work doesn't know how to use his "thingy" when he goes to the bathroom. One day I went in after him (next to my department is a uni bano) and there was a trail of pee from the seat, up over the tank, on the wall, and towards the sink. It was like he started to wash his hands before he was finished and let his little peter just fly around the room and left a stream where he went. Needless to say I walked the 45 mile hike to the front of the building to use the ladies room. Another worker said there was a puddle a couple feet in front of the toilet. I'm assuming he had to do #1 AND #2, but didn't tuck it in to the bowl lol

Lost my appetite now... great.
