Archive through September 27, 2001
Grooch | Friday, September 21, 2001 - 06:47 pm   People who are angry at the world for no good reason and take it out on everyone else. |
Smrtass | Friday, September 21, 2001 - 08:43 pm   My Pet peeve is people that have husbands that do laundry! Jushvnfn, sorry, I'm your pet peeve! Where do you get one of those? At my house.  |
Awareinva | Friday, September 21, 2001 - 08:56 pm   people who insert things (finger, pencil, paperclip) into their ears while talking to you people who volunteer enthusiastically for a job then let you know 3 hours before it needs to be done that they won't do it people who agree to do a job they don't want, rather than just say NO! and then they complain about it people who will pile trash onto the trash can and make it look like Mt. Everest before they will put a new bag in the can Could go on for days, but I'd better pace myself  |
Grooch | Friday, September 21, 2001 - 09:28 pm   People who lick their finger before counting off money or pieces of paper. I find it so extremely gross and unhygenic. I wish they would stop. Why would I want to take their papers that they put their own spit on, there on purpose? |
Makays | Friday, September 21, 2001 - 09:42 pm   People who drive up along the side of the road and cut ahead of about 50 cars. I guess they think their time is more important than yours. Why do people do this? I would love to see them cut in front of people standing in line at the grocery store. Red light runners and all those that never stop at STOP signs. |
Weinermr | Saturday, September 22, 2001 - 09:22 am   People who press the elevator button over and over again, thinking the elevator will come faster that way. Men who hold the door open for a woman, but then let it slam in the face of the man who is walking in after her. To me, that's not being polite. By the way, I'm a man, and I do laundry. Haven't shrunk anything in years! |
Sharebear | Sunday, September 23, 2001 - 01:26 am   woopsie...I think I made a boo boo, just because I said my hubby did that with my laundry doesn't mean I think that allllll men are the same as him, I apologize if any of you men were offended by my post I don't want to seem like a male basher i myself have some things I do that probably gets under his skin as well, lol he just doesn't tell me *hehe* Now back to the topic of pet peeves....I remember a couple more....butter...or margarine....or peanut butter.... lol you get my point whatever you put a knife i to get the stuff out...well I can't stand to get it out and find food particles in it from someone that has used it prior example: butter...someone made toast probably my son this morning...grr I have toast crusties all over the butter now...is there any doctors in the house?? Have I completely flipped my wig?? Or do I need a shrink?? lol...maybe I can now be a true applicant for the next Big Brother...lol J/K I was bringing this feed back to life...I enjoy reading what anyone has to say =) |
Weinermr | Sunday, September 23, 2001 - 08:30 am   My biggest pet peeve - Everytime I post to a thread lately, it stops dead in its tracks.  |
Zeyna | Sunday, September 23, 2001 - 08:53 am   Waking up and not having LFs to read with my coffee. |
Karuuna | Sunday, September 23, 2001 - 10:20 am   My biggest pet peeve is being about to post in a thread and then seeing Weinermr post which means the thread has to stop dead in its tracks. I'm just kidding, W! Don't take it personally, I'm sure it has nothing to do with you, just the way things go sometimes. Hang in there!!!  |
Sharebear | Sunday, September 23, 2001 - 10:51 am   well weiner if I am the one that stopped your thread DEAD in its tracks I won't worry about posting anymore in your threads I was trying to keep it going guess thats the wrong thing to do all you have to do is ask me or tell me and I will stop no worries now I will stop all together on this thread explain what you meant please if you feel the need I would like to know what you meant my email address is spierpon@twcny.rr.com TTFN |
Weinermr | Sunday, September 23, 2001 - 08:03 pm   Sharebear, it seems I have greatly offended you, and that was certainly never my intention. I seem to be offending alot of people lately, and perhaps I ought to examine my own behavior now. I will send you an email as you suggested, but just so you and everyone else here understands, my comment was not directed at you or any individual but was just a general comment about what I have experienced posting here recently. Maybe feeling sorry for myself, or just maybe a general reaction to the horrible days since 9/11, but that's not a reason to hurt others, so again, if I offended, which I seem to have done, I'm sorry. |
Wcv63 | Monday, September 24, 2001 - 08:08 am   Pet Peeves: Someone (investigation leads me to believe that culprit is named "Not Me") loses the top to the toothpaste and then lets the toothpaste ooze out of the tube all over the end until it is a hardened blob that clogs up tube. People (usually children and husbands) will walk over, around and on top of things on the floor instead of bending over and picking it up. Having to say the same thing 10 times in a row before it is actually heard. i.e. Go to bed, go to bed, go to bed, go to bed, yes YOU, go to bed, NOW, ARRRRGGGHHHH, bed, bed, bed, bed!!! Makes me sound like I've lost my mind. People (usually small people but can sometimes they come in the larger, older variety) that insist on talking to you while you are obviously having a telephone conversation. When someone borrows you car and returns it with an empty tank. |
Nutsy | Monday, September 24, 2001 - 08:36 am   <<Someone (investigation leads me to believe that culprit is named "Not Me")>> It could also be the elusive "I. Dunno".  |
Twiggyish | Monday, September 24, 2001 - 08:43 am   WCV, I think that person also lives in my house. |
Babyruth | Monday, September 24, 2001 - 10:03 am   People who walk around the house while brushing their teeth. It's worse when they talk while doing this. I agree on the grossness of licking of fingers before turning a page or when counting money. Ewwwwww. People who talk with their mouth full!!!! My mother AND my mother in law BOTH do this!!!!! YUCK!!! (Hmm, it seems I have some sort of oral fixation..... ) |
Awareinva | Monday, September 24, 2001 - 09:02 pm   When you and another person are the only two in a room, you speak or ask a question (sometimes more than once) and the other person then asks "Were you talking to me?" No, I was talking to the lamp, the carpet, the table....what do you think???? ARGGGHHHHH!!!  |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, September 24, 2001 - 09:36 pm   When I am talking to the lamp, and the other person in the room butts in like I am talking to them or something.

Bernie | Tuesday, September 25, 2001 - 04:17 am   Cars overtaking on the inside lane; cars changing lanes/turning without indicating; cars taking up two parking spaces; cars with drivers doing things other than watching the road and driving; cars which overtake then slow down in front of my car; all cars other than the one I'm driving, and their drivers, period. (which is why I hate to drive ;-)) |
Beagle | Tuesday, September 25, 2001 - 09:13 am   "Not Me" had lived with us for years, WCV. We call Not Me our 4th kid Who did it? Not Me! See... |
Beachgirl | Wednesday, September 26, 2001 - 11:30 am   Wow! I agree with almost all of these pet peeves... one that really bothers me that I don't see on here is when a sock turns up missing after doing laundry! Where does it go? How did it loose its way? Why is it not with it's twin? Aargh! |
Smrtass | Wednesday, September 26, 2001 - 02:18 pm   when a sock turns up missing after doing laundry If it turns up, then it's not missing. It's the sock that *doesn't* turn up that's missing. I bet your other pet peeve is smartass remarks. |
Jenhavins | Wednesday, September 26, 2001 - 02:25 pm   I talk to people all day on the phone and it bugs me when someone does that clicking sound with their mouth(that tongue thingie). That drives me batty. |
Beachgirl | Wednesday, September 26, 2001 - 03:14 pm   Smrtass--Point well taken! I guess that I get so worked up by the thought of all those missing socks that I wasn't thinking straight. Tee-hee! |
Wcv63 | Thursday, September 27, 2001 - 01:31 pm   I have kicked "I Dunno" out of the house leaving only "Not Me" as the only uninvited intruder. It is forbidden to answer any question with "I Dunno". That is not an acceptable answer. Therefore my children usually resort to blaming each other, their father or the cats. More pet peeves: Telemarketers that will not take no or not interested for an answer. I usually have to hang up on them to get my point across. I hate to do this as I know they are only doing their job but pushy people annoy me. Pedestrians strolling across the street against the light completely oblivious to cars hurtling towards them. They act as if they have no obligation for their own safety. Doctors/lawyers/teachers etc who speak condescending towards their patients, clients, student's parents. Shoes. Just don't like wearing them. |
