Monkeyboy | Thursday, April 03, 2003 - 09:35 pm     OMG Ddr, thats fricking funny!!!! |
Monkeyboy | Thursday, April 03, 2003 - 09:49 pm     i HATE HATE HATE HATE when people call my home and as soon as i say hello they ask, "who's this?" Sometimes i wanna scream "WTF is this??? you are calling me!!!!!!" idiots. Oh and i hate when someone gets the wrong number and they try to argue with you, saying "This is the right number, I know how to f***** dial numbers!!!!!" (this happened to me yesterday!)People over the phone are the meanest! I also hate driving behind school buses, people who dont know how to shut up, and the morons who smoke at gas stations! |
Bobbie_552001 | Friday, April 04, 2003 - 03:46 am     Or how about the people that leave their SUV run while they are pumping gas with 6 children strapped in their car seats. Then when they are done....the continue to leave the thing run and walk into the station to pay....of course smoking the entire time..... |
Corriecat | Friday, April 04, 2003 - 12:17 pm     My pet peeve is every time I walk out of my house someone stops and asks for directions to the theatre and stores nearby. To get to my house you have to drive by a large sign with the directions. I have had people expect us to stand out in the pouring rain or snowstorms and tell them how to get to someplace you can see from my house. Some fool stopped and asked directions from my husband and housemate while they were carrying a large sofa up the two narrow flights of stairs to our front door. I've also had people drive up and block the car as I was pulling away from the house so I couldn't leave to ask directions and at night when you are alone that can be scary. |
Wargod | Friday, April 04, 2003 - 01:16 pm     Ok, parents, am I crazy for this pet peeve? Every single time I go to the bathroom, or in the morning when I'm getting dressed, and at night when I'm getting into my jammies, I will turn around or open a door to find at least one kid sitting there waiting for me. It doesn't matter what they were doing when I walked to the back of the house, they will follow me. Why?? Why can't I go to the bathroom or get dressed with at least a bit of privacy?? And most important, how come they never follow me when I go to wash dishes, clean somewhere in the house or do laundry????? |
Maesin | Friday, April 04, 2003 - 01:31 pm     LOL War! The kids know you won't ask them to help you use the facilities or change clothes. The fact they may be asked to help with the chores might have something to do with it! Pet Peeve of my day: Listening to radio online and having it cut out right in the middle of an important play(yes, I am listening to baseball!)or in the middle of my fav song! |
Abbynormal | Friday, April 04, 2003 - 01:52 pm     Wargod, because it is the law. As I have stated before, I have not taken a dump alone in 21 years! Chase could be outside playing up the road, at a neighbors house and as soon as I sat he showed up. He had some kind of radar, I swear. It is no better now, except Skyler at least sits outside the door, keeping up a continuous conversation. Funny story, may be TMI, but goes to show what I mean. I guess Chase was about 2 and he comes walking into the living room. He had stripped off all his clothes and his diaper and when he turned around there was a kotex stuck to the side of his butt!! Their not just in there visiting, they really watch! I about fell out.  |
Mygetaway | Friday, April 04, 2003 - 02:10 pm     Bobbie.. you should have turned those dumbutts in. My son yells at me if I don't turn off the cell phone at the pump. (which I usually do, but sometimes forget) War.. I remember those days. And Abby.. that was too funny. |
Sia | Friday, April 04, 2003 - 02:25 pm     Wargod, having no privacy is one of my pet peeves, too. I can't explain why, but my kids are always underfoot when I'm in the bathroom, too. What always makes me mad is when one of the kids comes into the bathroom and then announces, "Geez, it stinks in here!" I throw the offender out unceremoniously. I still can't take a bath alone, but they don't like showers, so I take more showers than baths. It's not fair! Abby, LOL @ Chase's "radar!" |
Wargod | Friday, April 04, 2003 - 02:31 pm     Caleb's now gotten old enough that he goes in his room or the bathroom to change....I think I'm going to start following him and see if he gets the hint, LOL. This morning it just really bugged me...they were no where to be found and yet as soon as I turned around, both were sitting on my bed! Abby, you made me spit my water out, LOL. |
Tabbyking | Friday, April 04, 2003 - 02:32 pm     sia, tell the kids, "well, it didn't stink until you got here!" |
Whoami | Friday, April 04, 2003 - 04:23 pm     Driving home this afternoon from errends... I ended up in Friday afternoon rush hour. There had been an accident, and I'll bet you your paycheck (I don't have one to bet) that it was caused by some jerk too anxious for the weekend to start, and thought they'd get home faster by driving stupid. This accident caused the usual back up of traffic. That caused more idiots (also probably anxious to start their weekend) to start doing things like driving sideways across lanes to get to other lanes they should have been in to start with, so they could get around the accident. Hey folks, there's a cop there directing traffic, and he's likely to get you through the accident scene faster than your impatient idiocy will do. All you're going to do is create another accident! I was in the left turn lane, one block past the accident. Traffic coming the other way was still backed up. Naturally, I sat through one light cause the backed up traffic decided to stop across the intersection. Then, when the oncoming traffic had a light (and the right of way) they had nowhere to go. Theoretically, us left-hand turners could go (even though we didn't have a light), since the traffic was stopped. But the person in front of me didn't trust the oncommers to go ahead and take the turn (and I don't blame her). The person behind me starts beeping (hey honey, I can't go anywhere until the person ahead of me does!). The person ahead of me decides to try and take the turn (cautiously of course, in case an oncommer decides to come on). I follow her, and just as we take the turn, the person behind the one who was beeping at me pulls out to the right lane, and makes our left hand turn a double turn, going around both me and the person ahead of me! IDIOTS!!! |
Sia | Friday, April 04, 2003 - 09:18 pm     Tabbyking, I swear, you are the MASTER of the snappy comeback! You're brilliant!

Corriecat | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 08:39 am     LOL about the kids trailing you to the bathroom. I am not allowed to use the bathroom alone either. I have two cats and a greyhound that will open the door if I close it and come in to chaperone me. I think they want to keep an eye on what I am doing with their *special* water dish. |
Whoami | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 02:21 pm     LOL Corriecat! If they see you doing that to their special water dish....you better keep your water glass covered! |
Tabbyking | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 02:30 pm     we have to leave the downstairs bathroom door closed all the time because our fish has to live in there. poor thing! we got one of those glass vases you put the fish in and then a plant fits in the top. the fish swims around the trailing roots and the fish water takes care of the plant's moisture needs....well, our cat is almost done eating plant number 3!! he has no desire to get to the fish, but we got the damn fish to put on the kitchen counter for everyone to see and now you have to hit the john to see the damn thing. it has had to live there for almost a year now! and every time the door gets left open for even a minute, webpee makes quick work of another leaf or two. he pretends it wasn't him, but he usually has leaf stuck in his teeth and none of us have the same teeth pattern. this poor plant has about 5.3 leaves out of the 25 or so it started with and they have little bite marks and black edges all the way around! i bought some raw spinach and put it in the cat's bowl, but he won't eat it. |
Sia | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 08:52 pm     Tabbyking, I would love to see a picture of the vase you describe! --and of Webpee eating the plant! That would be hilarious! Can you post a pic? Thanks in advance. |
Ketchuplover | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 10:29 pm     It's WISCONSIN not WESCONSIN |
Melfie1222 | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 10:46 pm     Good pet peeve Ketchup! And it's Washington not Warshington... and the people who live in this state, when they are talking to someone else, shouldn't have to expand by saying that they live in Washington STATE.. the people who live in DC should have to say they live in DC. We should just be able to say Washington. And on behalf of my neighboring state... it's not ore-EE-gone. |
Fanny | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 11:06 pm     Yeah! And in Montana, it's not hel-EEEE-na, it's HELL-u-na. |
Tabbyking | Saturday, April 05, 2003 - 11:16 pm     i hate it when my pet peeves on the kitchen floor and i have to clean it up! sia, i may be able to get a picture of the fish/semi-plant/and vase but as for webpee, he mostly lives under my bed. i have had company for 4 or 5 days who never see the cat! although when they go to sleep, webpee ventures out and checks out the sofa bed or wherever they are sleeping. when i take webpee to the vet, they have to unscrew the top section of the pet taxi from the bottom because the cat plants his arms and legs against the sides of the box and he won't fit out the door. they have to do a 'c-section' every time! he weighed 16 pounds at his first annual check up, 20, if you count the pet taxi he was still in! lol |
Maesin | Sunday, April 06, 2003 - 02:28 pm     Tabbyking, your peeve made me laugh, and I know that's not nice, but TOO FUNNY!!! Totally agree about the "Warshington"; goes with "Chicargo". I don't understand how people put the letter "R" into a word when it clearly doesn't belong! I live in Las Vegas and where we work we put our original home city or state on our name badges. I used to have it say "Bothell, Wa." until I had one to many a drunk man say "Oh Brothel, hehe that's funny, so how much?". Now it just says Las Vegas. I just tell people where I am from now if they ask. I still can't believe how Real World portrayed this town. I didn't even watch after the third episode because I knew I would yell at the TV too much. It's a normal town with a few more hotels and lights than most places. For a tourist it is fun, but there is life beyond "The Strip"! Oh yeah, and there is a Las Vegas, NM. Just in case anyone cares! Hope everyone is having a great weekend. p.s. I still hate stairs! |
Monkeyboy | Sunday, April 06, 2003 - 02:37 pm     My parents own a Mexican restaurant here in AZ and many pet peeves occur Going on the whole mispronouncing word thing, i absolutley hated when people asked for "SAWR-sa" and not SALSA, ugh! And I hated working in the bar part, because the drunk people would be loud and throw food at me. My parents "fired" me 3 times, LOL. There is also a karaoke machine in the bar and i hated when people would get on stage and butcher my favorite songs or they would even get on the stage and just keep yelling "I Want Sex!!! I want sex!!!" LOL. I also hated when people would come in with like 20 people and have to wait awhile and get mad at me when i would let a couple in before them! Its not my fault they brought a whole tribe and didnt bother to call ahead of time. But its not that bad because they give great tips |
Corriecat | Sunday, April 06, 2003 - 04:24 pm     I'm originally from AZ Monkeyboy and I hate the mispronunciations too. I also used to hate it when the newscasters would be speaking with their normal non-spanish accents but when they would hit a Mexican name they would suddenly get this really thick accent. Another thing I used to hate is anytime we would go visit relatives out of state I would run into people who thought AZ was right below CA, just an hour or so from Hollywood and we had a beach. Now I live in MA and a pet peeve is people who ask why I would move from wonderful warm AZ to the snow. In a job interview once I was told they didn't want me because they didn't think I would stay in MA through the winter. |
