Pet Peeves - IRL Edition

in Snarky Brides

People who don't use their headlights in the fog.

People who are constantly late.

People who call meetings at 4pm.

People who speak like jackasses but then complain about immigrants not being able to speak english. Their broken english is better than yours, and you've been speaking english your entire life. This is awful where I live. If I hear some redneck say "I seen at pitcher o yuns. At wuz purty." and then in the next breath complain about having to push 1 for english on a phone menu, I immediately judge.

    [QUOTE]People who are so negative about every single damned thing. People who ask for financial advice and refuses to take it and now they're broke as hell and constantly biitching about it. People who think they have to get beligerent-drunk in order to have fun. People who think it's okay to fuuck other people while their spouses are deployed.

    Wow, CS. Ditto EVERYTHING here.

    Additionally:

    -People that use FB as a personal diary.
    -When people cancel plans at THE LAST minute for selfish reasons. (i.e., "I don't feel like leaving right now.")
    -People who feel the constant need to exaggerate the truth. What good does it serve?

    I'll jump on the no headlights in fog, and add rain/snow to the list. The big problem is I know what these people are thinking,it's "they" can see so why should I turn them on? In the words of Dr. Phil "This aint about you" I cant see you!

    And no turn signals. I cant read your mind.

    People who see you coming but dont move or say excuse me. Just basically run you into a wall or door.

    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 <em>me</em> 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'm annoyed that my MOH still hasn't ordered her dress just because she's too scatterbrained.

    -when people talk on their cell phones in public bathrooms, while using the bathroom

    -when people vaguebook... FB statuses like "I can't believe this is happening to me!" "The most terrible thing anyone can imagine just happened!" And in the end, their car run out of gas or something lame.

    *Turn signals in general; people who dont' use them and people who leave them on forever.

    *Minnesota drivers in general.  Seriously, if you want to go the speed limit, that's fine- just stay in the right line.

    *helicopter parents

    *people who dont' answer my phone call, then text two seconds later asking what's up?  Obviously you have your phone. You know I don't like talking on the phone, so it's not going to be a long conversation.

    Clerks who say, will you be flattered if I ask for id?

    Mom's who talk about their kids too much (just came from a girls weekend that was all about moms trying to out-do each other with stories about their kids)

    People who say, "just relax" when they hear we're trying to get pregnant.

    People on the highway who aren't even driving the speed limit.  Really?

    People who use FB as their place to vent about someone who they know is going to read it.  Crap like "can't believe how much you hurt me."  Man up and talk to that person about it.

    People who are PC about everything.

    Cramps. You know the kind.

    People who constantly tell me renting is a waste of money when they have no idea why we haven't bought a house yet.

    People who type "ur"

    People who constantly have to one-up everything you say--they always know someone who did something better, has more money, they experienced the exact same thing, etc. Brother's girlfriend, I'm looking at you.

    When people get married before they can legally vote or finish high school.  I see it way too much...

    When I am at the grocery store and I need to get by I politely say excuse me and get a dirty look because I didn't say it in Spanish. (I live in El Paso curently and the language barrier is really hard to deal with sometimes)

    It drives me insane when my H leaves dirty dishes in the sink.  That and when he leaves the shower curtain open.

    I hate when people post nine billion pictures of their baby on facebook, all exactly the same only now she's moved slightly to the right.  Now she's almost raised her arm. Now she's moved her leg.  ITS THE SAME PICTURE.  No one cares.

    I hate when people wear sunglasses indoors. 

    I hate seeing women in winnie the pooh sweatshirts and bad mom jeans carrying knock off foach bags.  Who do you think you're fooling, hot stuff?

    I imagine this isn't much of an issue in the States, but it's something here that drives me insane, and pretty much my only issue with Canadian health care.

    -People who go to the clinic for a slight cough or a headache.

    -Those same people who use the emergency room as their own personal clinic once the walk-ins are closed. 

    There's a reason the waiting time is so goddamn long, it's because you people feel like you need to be loaded up with antibiotics for the sniffles. It's next to impossible to get treated right away unless you're dying. I waited 4 months for my surgery to remove the growth that was blocking 95% of my airway because it wasn't an immediate danger. Of course, that's also because I was referred to morons, once I got in to see the specialist, she took one look and booked my surgery for the next week.

    It's also irritating that they could solve this by simply charging say, 25 dollars per emergency room visit. Small enough so that people who need it can easily pay it, but enough that people who don't would be deterred. At the very least, it would help supplement some of the cost.

    How am I going to know if I can make it when I don't know the location or the time?

    Out of state drivers--I get that you don't know where you're going, but move the fvck over for those of us who do know where we're going.

    Parents who think my job is to raise their children--Last time I checked, that's your job. 

    My friend who said "I guess God just wants me to kill myself" when me and her other close friend got engaged on the same day.  It's so hurtful and wrong on so many levels.

    Elevators.  Really, people, it would be far easier if you let people off before barging in.  Then us polite folks don't have to try and get around your ass that it wedged in front to try and get off.  Is that so hard?  The elevator won't leave you know.  It's not like missing a train.

    When DH leaves his laundry in the dryer for days on end and I have to keep reminding him to get it out so I can do my wash.

    When clients send me emails that are huge walls of text.

    Clients who want to hold on to their $700/mo car when they're in bankruptcy.  Yes, the state allows you to keep a car so you can get to work, but you should have a car you can actually afford.

    Oh, Michigan left turns, or whatever the hell they are called!  The city I work in just spent $2.5 million installing one. 

    Then they thought it would be a great idea to have the police patrol the intersection the first day they implemented it and hand out warning tickets because people didn't know what was going on.  We live in Texas, not Michigan, how are we supposed to know what a Michigan left hand turn is?!

    People who honk because you have not made a left turn yet and someone is zooming straight ahead. Gee, how long do you think you will be back there is I crash?

    People who feel entitled to everything all the time. Big topic, I know.

    People who talk about "not wanting to waste money on rent" with NO appreciation of the true risks or responsibilities of home "ownership" (a very relative concept on your 30 year payment plan to a bank!). 

    People who think "pets" are toys they will just get rid of when they are no longer amusing.

    Looking like you are going out to wash your car when you are at a nice restaurant, a play, a party. I mean, jeans and a nice top and shoes at least, please?

    when Subways puts nine gallons of mayo on my sandwich.  Last time I checked "just a teeny bit"  does not mean run the bottle up and down the sandwich five times.  Gross. 

    when people interrupt what you are saying midword to correct something you've just mispronounced.  I promise you friend, your rudeness far outweighs my slight speaking flub.

    My stepbrother's GF is like that, she knows everyone supposedly, or has enjoyed every perk known to man.

    Along those lines, it's even worse when the one-upper can't be wrong. Yesterday I had this argument with little brother's GF:

    GF: Justin Beiber is so lame. No wonder people hate Americans.
    Me: JB is from Canada.
    GF: He's an American.
    Me: No, he was born in Ontario.
    GF:....No...No, I meant he is popular in America, so he's like an American sensation.
    Me: You mean he's a Canadian sensation popular in America.
    GF: No... I just meant Americans love him.

    Just admit it, you were WRONG!

    This. And in general, people who aren't self-aware or aware of others. This means you, neighbors who have parties on weeknights into the wee hours of the morning. There are 5 other houses within 50 feet of your deck.

    People who steal parking spaces. Good thing I have a complex about being morally superior. I hope you don't do that to someone who decides to key your car someday. (Happened to me at Target yesterday - bitch totally saw me waiting with my turning signal on.)

    They didn't have detailed diagrams on how to use them running in the local paper for a few weeks beforehand? That's just dumb.
