What's Your Pet Peeve?

15 years ago

My pet Peeves does not wish his name appearing in Warriors! The Peeves make great pets, but they are very shy and retiring (just like me). They forage happily around the woodlands eating trolls and leprechauns and the occassional lumberjack, but being mentioned in forums is their pet peeve.

Thanks

Do what I do, hang her out on the clothes line overnight. It's a bit like tipping whitwash over a pigeon and saying 'Your turn mate' highly therapeutic

Smokers who throw their used butts from the car window! That REALLY gets my goat.

If you want to smoke, that's your choice, but be responsible and stop using OUR world as your frigging trash can! Cars still have ashtrays, don't they? USE IT or just stop smoking!

And when it gets full, dump it in a trash can. Don't open your damned car door and dump it into the parking lot or street!

Thanks

My pet peeve is people who are negative. They get on my nerves.

Isn't that akin to saying you hate haters?

  LOL. No they just get on my nerves sometimes. That's why it's a "Pet Peeve" thread and not a "People I hate" thread.

still mind games and people that shame you for being honest because it's 'harsh'.

i believe in 'say what you mean and mean what you say' -

tailgaters are right up there and someday i will get the nerve to slam on my brakes - usually though a dirty look through the rear-view will make them hang back.

spammers are right up there too, whether via email or forms and along with telemarketers.i wish there was a firing squad for them.

Thanks

Pat keep your foot on the gas and with your left foot step on the brake pedal enough to have the brake lights come on and slow you down enough to scare the crap out of them

People who drive too slow, I just tailgate them to try to get them to speed up.

Also,

pessimistic people, people who don't try to get the best from life, and scrutinize you for doing your thing.

It is against the law and very rude to tailgate. The biggest reason it is against the law though is for your own safety. I hope you don't go through your windshield sometime when someone stops suddenly.

I drive usually minimum 10 mph over the speed limit (illegal I know) so that is not why people tailgate. They tailgate because they are rude pigs.

I agree though people that drive too slow are irritating - I would just go around them and if I couldn't I would smack my steering wheel every few minutes. (lol - this helps)

Yeh - the cell phone ninnies - they are right up there with annoying. The worst part is the look on their face like 'i am sooooo cool because i have a cell phone'. It is now illegal to drive while talking on a cell phone in this state unless it is hands free.

Just a friendly warning.
If you get in back of my metal ass and think I'm going to slow, you don't want to tailgate me to try and speed me up.
The only thing that will speed up is a trip for you to the hospital.
That's not a pet peeve with me. I take it as a personal threat when someone tailgates a motorcycle.

Certainly not the only one, but a major one is people who use cell phones.
I don't mean those that use them on occasion, but those that think they can't live without them in their hands.
If they aren't talking they are texting.
And it doesn't matter where......at home, in the store,at the gas station,eating dinner,going to the bathroom...etc,etc.
I went to the circus a week or so ago and the person next to me literally did not put down her cell the whole time.

EDIT: I think I'm the last person in this hemisphere that won't have a
cell phone because they irritate the crap outta me. People are too
busy talking on the stupid things to live their lives.

When you hear someone telling you what YOU can't do, they are usually talking about what THEY can't do.
