Tess | Thursday, September 27, 2001 - 02:07 pm   My pet peeve (for today) is getting woken up by a phone call in the morning and after the caller realizes he/she woke me up says---"Oh, I'll call back when you're awake." and hangs up. Or, in the case of this morning's phone call JUST HANGS UP!! Hello!!!! I"m already awake since I had to answer the phone and now I can't get back to sleep as I'm officially annoyed!! That's all. |
Abbynornal | Thursday, September 27, 2001 - 04:34 pm   People who park in handicap spaces that do not have a tag or sticker. Beware! I am obsessed with this and if you are in my neighborhood and parked in a handicap space illegally , I will turn your butt in!!  |
Ketchuplover | Thursday, September 27, 2001 - 08:44 pm   My pet peeve is myself |
Kayewer | Friday, September 28, 2001 - 09:40 am   Anybody here read the comics? In the "Family Circus" I always enjoy the antics of Not Me and Ida Know. You guys are crackin' me up. My pet peeve is, to put it politely, people who don't consider the fact that they are using a public restroom, and that somebody else will want to have a clean, dry place to set their booty when nature calls. I also get annoyed at people who finish sentences for you because you're either talking too slow for them or they're bored and want to get your part of the conversation over with. |
Faux_Pas | Friday, September 28, 2001 - 01:25 pm   My pet peeve is spelling errors. Not on a message board or in chat, but in documents where people should know better. I have in front of me a press release from a major financial firm (although the local branch wrote it up) with tragedy spelled as "tradegy". Don't they have spell check? And don't get me started on congratulations. I've seen that spelled wrong on a sign in front of the VFW hall. (they eventually corrected it). Other pet peeves include people who don't use their turn signal, those who pull out in front of me even though there are no cars behind me for miles, and those who drive much slower than the speed limit in a no passing zone. And the owner of the company where I work who is too cheap to hire someone else and dumps the extra stuff on me to do (which I'm supposing to be doing but I'm here instead because of the spelling error). I think I need a bigger house with all these pets. |
Moondance | Friday, September 28, 2001 - 07:17 pm   Pet Peeves...... Lets see.... People then people People then People and oh yeh then there is people |
Johnlvs2run | Friday, September 28, 2001 - 10:09 pm   Pet Peeves... me...- wanting to do something and getting distracted and not doing it... this is probably my #1 pet peeve
People...- who leave a longggg post on a thread about why no one else should post on that thread any more
- who say "trust me" ... that's a big red flag to watch out!
- who don't accept or "get it" when I answer them about something and ask me again
- like they don't believe me or want me to change my mind...
- so why did they ask me in the first place? either accept it or don't ask me.
- who will do anything and obscure the truth for money... examples, doctors, dentists
- (see above about accepting what you asked me)
- who get the wrong number and when I ask "what number are you calling", hang up... then call me again
- who call and ask for dr. X (see above about doctors) ... and then hang up and call again
- who drive too fast, particularly in residental areas
- drunk drivers anywhere
- shows on tv about doctors
- who ask if i'm vegetarian and then say, "well, do you drink milk?"
- (this isn't really a pet peeve, but a cow is not a vegetable so I'm just getting rid of it)

Johnlvs2run | Friday, September 28, 2001 - 10:37 pm   Jenhavins... try asking, "do you hear a clicking sound?"... then when they start talking say... "there it is again, do you hear it?"...when they apologize and say it was them, apologize profusely like you had no idea... that usually puts a stop to it. Wcv63... when the pushy ones keep insisting, try saying... "let me see if s/he's in the other room" (or outside) ... set the phone down and go to the other room (or outside) .. come back later and hang up the phone. Another alternative is to just stop talking and set the phone down... hang it up later. I agree with you about shoes.... I am happily barefoot. |
Sharebear | Sunday, September 30, 2001 - 10:35 pm   pet peeve of the day....the case of the missing remote....lol...my hubby wants to see something on tv...running around the house like a mad man looking for this remote....spent atleast 10 minutes looking...lol I asked why can't you just go use the tv instead...oh well btw we found the remote...maybe this should be under gripes lol |
Donut | Sunday, September 30, 2001 - 11:06 pm   Weiner, i thought it was me that stops a thread so i am glad to see that it is you not me, but i am sorry that i am glad that it is you ;). anyway- i know what you mean, and it is always a really active post, and then someone asks for an explaination about something and you finally sit down and take a really long time when you should be asleep to write one out, or to create something really amazing, at least you think it is, and then when you go back there, it turns out noone else was there after you and then it goes lost in the archives. there, now i have ended this thread so you dont have to. |
Wargod | Sunday, September 30, 2001 - 11:38 pm   LOL Donut, no one stopped it for me, I just haven't been able to think of anything else driving me nuts. Oh wait, that could be another one....brain going soft on me when I know I'm just too young for that to happen! |
Donut | Monday, October 01, 2001 - 10:47 pm   weiner, i guess i have lost my touch for jinxing a thread, so its up to you- although this one is a real challenge because i think that pet peeves just may be a neverending topic- maybe that should be my pet peeve |
Weinermr | Tuesday, October 02, 2001 - 09:40 am   Donut - you're right, pet peeves are a neverending topic. One of my pet peeves is the way a word or phrase will find its way into common usage, and then be overused to death. For example, the word "basically" is suddenly being used and overused everywhere! You hear it on TV, you hear it in the movies, at work, at the mall, in the stores. Just listen carefully to people talk, and you will hear people say "basically" in many many situations when the word could be tossed out, and you would never miss it. For example, if you asked me how many hands I have, I would say, "I have two hands". But in common usage, many people would say, "Basically, I have two hands." Or, "basically, my name is weinermr". You get the idea. Crazy, I know. But I notice these things, and there are others! |
Nutsy | Tuesday, October 02, 2001 - 10:21 am   I'd like to know when "pleaded" became correct usage. I remember when the newspeople said "he plead (plehd) guilty", now it's "pleaded guilty".

Kstme | Tuesday, October 02, 2001 - 10:44 am   When did a "lit" room become a "lighted" room? And...don't get me started on "funnest or funner!" It is fun. I had the most fun. It was more fun. |
Weinermr | Tuesday, October 02, 2001 - 10:49 am   How about "go ahead and..." Instead of saying, "I'm going to eat now.", people say, "I'm going to go ahead and eat now." Instead of saying, "Pour two cups of milk into the bowl", they say "Go ahead and pour two cups of milk into the bowl." Etc. |
Johnlvs2run | Tuesday, October 02, 2001 - 10:53 am   My pants had pleads in them, but when I pleaded for more she said, no you've been panting enough. |
Kstme | Tuesday, October 02, 2001 - 11:01 am   John...pants have "pleats"... |
Johnlvs2run | Tuesday, October 02, 2001 - 11:06 am   Kstme... okay, then I'm pleating for you...  |
Kstme | Tuesday, October 02, 2001 - 12:14 pm   John...are you "bleating" or "pleating"? baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...here sheepy, sheepy... |
Weinermr | Tuesday, October 02, 2001 - 05:46 pm   Ewe better stop this, or I'm going to conclude, quite sheepishly, that this is going to turn into a punning thread. You can't pull the wool over my eyes though, or ram anything down my throat, so be careful. |
Kstme | Tuesday, October 02, 2001 - 09:35 pm   Weinermr...I wouldn't kid you, or try to milk this for all it's worth. It certainly behooves me to charge forward, bunting anything in my way and rein in my flanks...(this doesn't make a dang bit of sense, does it?) Pet Peeve...people that chew their cud in public...lol |
Donut | Wednesday, October 03, 2001 - 12:51 am   Kstme, now that you have reached Bottom, you better leave this thread Behind and get your Ass over to the pun thread where talent like yours is Rearly seen, so no ifs ands or Butts about it, see ya at the BB2 Pun board ::Kstme fears that donut might have spent too much time over at the adult bakery :: |
Kstme | Wednesday, October 03, 2001 - 07:38 am   Donut...kstme KNOWS that Donut has sifted through too much flour lately! It stirs my mind and I try to take her concerns with a grain of salt... she won't get a rise from me! We'll mix all our peeves gently together to blend this fallen thread back together and serve it up to our fellow BBFC friends! We can fluff it and/or stuff it, but "a peeve is still a peeve"... (Donut "thinks" she can get me kicked out of here too!...remember...Anderson is a ------!)  |
Weinermr | Wednesday, October 03, 2001 - 05:59 pm   My pet peeve is when everyone else puns better than I do. Just kidding! You have me LOL! |
