Re: your #1 pet peeve.

  • East my sister will interrupt my mom constantly when she misuses phrases like "have seen/saw." Then she will interrupt AGAIN. She does this all the time especially when we are around other people. It's horrible... my poor mom gets so flustered because she just got humiliated by her daughter. People have actually commented on it about what a b**tch sister is about it. Sure, it's annoying, but seriously sis, get over yourself.

  • People who will whine and complain endlessly about a subject or person for what feels like hours, and then end it with "whatever.  I don't care.  It doesn't/they don't get to me".If it/they didn't bother you or get under your skin, I wouldn't have had to waste 45 minutes of my life listening to you biitch about it/them.
  • Oh, and people who leave their garbage on the table at fast food places. I'd hate to see what your house looks like if you never throw away your trash...

  • Low rise jeans on 99% of women.THIS - I do not need to see your b*tt crack
  • People who take personal calls for longer that 2 minutes at their desk.  If you're going to take long go to a more private area.   You are disrupting my work taking about your up coming date night and family drama.

  • P2 that one gets me every time. And the thong showing because your jeans are so low - gross. People who do not drive the speed limit on a one lane road when there is no one in front of them. When people mispronounce words - realtor NOT realAtor People who take several seconds to hit the gas when the light turns green. You really shouldn't be paying that much attention to anything else. People who aren't prepared to pay when they get to the register.  What did you think was going to happen when the cashier gives you the total? People who are on their cell phones LOUDLY in public.  No one cares about your conversation. The texting fad while walking around the mall.  Next time, I'm not going to move, I'm just going to trip you. I know I have more...
  • Such a cute top too. Way to ruin it. My #1 pet peeve is the person I have to share an office with. I'd post a photo of her, but I like you guys and don't want to make you nauseous.

  • Parents who watch little Johnny being a holy terror and laugh in response with "Oh, he's such a boy!"  No, no he's not.  He's a brat and you're the one that's made him into one.
  • Aw, Manda, of course you can! My problem is with the parents more than the kids too. I always love when people see me giving them the evil eye because their kids are awful, and they laugh it off with things like, "Kids will be kids!" I look them dead in the eye and say, "And parents will suck from time to time. My kids know better." And they do. They get rowdy and loud at home, and I'm still trying to teach the younger one not to be quite as obnoxious when we have company (ask Heels about her repeated exposure to C's Ozzy Osbourne impersonation!) but they know when we go places you behave or be punished. It's not hard!
  •  but they know when we go places you behave or be punished. It's not hard! AMEN
  • Interrupting is right up there too. And people who are obviously just waiting for you to shut up so they can talk, not really listening. Or people who will interject with their random comments just to bring the focus back to them. I guess being self-centered sums it all up.

  • Lately my biggest pet peeve has been people who speed through school zones. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but are you so much in a hurry that you can't slow down for the 2 minutes it takes to pass by a school?
  • Oh dear God in Heaven.My boss just told me she wants to go potty before she leaves. So, I have 2 more:#1. Oversharing#2 Adults using words meant for children in conversation with another adult. Is it really that much harder to say "I have to use the restroom" if you feel the need to share that information with me? And if you feel that need, see #1.

  • I couldn't even list them all.  I'd have to start with my husband's pathological messiness.  The man does NOT know how to clean up after himself.  At all.
  • Text forwards.  Hate them!  My sister sends them constantly even after I tell her I don't like them.  Email forwards are a little better because they tend to be more interesting (some of the time), but text forwards can go to hell.
  • 1) Cars that pull in front of me, then slow down.  Seriously, if you're going to pass me then you're obligated to go faster then me.  Otherwise, don't pass. 2) Minivans.
  • 2) Minivans.This!Yes, I'm a soccer mum, a hockey mum, a diving mum, etc.  You will never catch me driving a minivan.
  • babies on airplanes, gum
  • Ditto Lpst on all things airport related.  Especially people who stop on the moving sidewalks and gate hoverers.  I hate gate hoverers.  And its always people who are last to board, have you noticed that?  I would understand first class or global K people doing it, because they know they get to board first.  But no, its always a pack of regular coach people who don't go on first or second, just creating a clusterf*ck for no reason slowing down the process for everyone.

    "Whatever East. You're just mad I RSVP'd "lame" to your pre-wedding sleepover."
  • I don't understand why anyone would ever want to drive a minivan..So you need more room for your children, get a suburban or something, I can't stand minivans!
  • Agreed on the lateness.  There is no ready to be habitually late.  Andy and I have a friend who is always late.  He is on his own time.  So I tell Andy to give him a time to meet 30 min earlier than we are meeting.  It has yet to fail me.Especially then, though!  If you know you are ALWAYS about 20-30 min don't you think you could fix that?People who are messy/sloppy.  Sorry, it's gross.  One person at work in particular puts his crap on my desk.  We aren't even next to each other!  It makes no sense.
