What is one of your Pet Peeves in life?

As for going to work sick, I can understand that. I worked in places that didn't offer any paid sick leave. People who were living from check to check couldn't afford to lose a day's pay - it meant their kids wouldn't eat.
As for Rodeos, I know enough about them to know why they shouldn't be allowed.

I'm conscious of making noise but there is a limit. For me 8 to 10 is fair game for doing stuff. Life goes on. What's your time?
 

Well, everyone, there is no local, state or federal law that states people have to like tattoos or rodeo or loud barking dogs. Now, is there? There is no law that people have to like swearing or smoking, right? Different people have different pet peeves!
As far as dogs barking, Keesha, how would you feel if you were woke up, from a nice sound sleep, at 6AM due to dogs barking? Especially on a Saturday or Sunday morning, when you wanted to sleep in?
One thing for sure, Keesha, "lap dogs", like Shih Tzu's don't bark loud like large dogs do.

For me... I don't own a dog so it would bother me if a dog woke me up barking 6am. If I owned a dog, I would be a bit more understanding... I would try to be.

Understanding is fine, but I'm talking about more than one dog! The neighbor, in the apartment next to us, has two large dogs that will bark when they see someone walking their dog at 6AM. Our one bedroom wall is next to their kitchen and front patio.
 
Any radio commercial in which the talking head says the phone no. three or more times. Drives me nuts.

Any Progressive insurance TV commercial that features the homely, talent-starved woman Flo. She must be related to the CEO to get that gig. Those commercials aren't the least bit amusing or interesting.

This I can relate to. Before we bought our house we rented a house and had a neighbour that had a Rottweiler that stayed in a fenced cage right beside our property below our bedroom window and the dog barked excessively.

I don’t blame the dog. I blame the owners for getting a pet and being negligent and abusive towards it. It’s difficult not to get annoyed at the dog at times but it’s the owners lack of responsibility for the dog that causes it.

Thank you for answering. 👍

Yes, but Keesha, there are some large dogs, who are standing or sitting by a front window, that see someone walking their dog in front of an apartment or house and will start barking at them. I don't think that is either the dogs or the owners fault. Small dogs, like a Boston Terrier or Shih Tzu just don't bark that loud. A neighbor on the 3rd story (above us) has an older Yellow Lab and we've never heard it bark. Guess Yellow Lab's aren't known for loud barking, except if they are hunting birds.

There are dogs that are the "watch dog" type and dogs that definitely aren't.

Yes this is true. Most people want their dogs to bark as added security. I’ll agree that most large dogs bark the loudest but there’s are many smaller breeds that have blood curling shriek like barks that pierce right through you. Some cute little dogs can have super annoying consistent yappy barks that are non stop.

I still think much of this has to do with pet training though.
 
People who adopt animals and find all kinds of excuses to get rid of them. I've moved dozens of times and never left my pets behind, if a place won't take pets I find a place that will or will stay where I'm already at.

People who throw trash out of moving vehicles.

Healthy people who expect society to support them.

Yes, that is there also, as well as smoking. Wife and I are not the only ones that don't like these two things..........plenty of folks don't. Our next door neighbor told me that she wishes she'd never got hers. She said she got them when, as she stated it, "I was a bad girl and didn't care."

"No respect for animals"...…...dude, you have a LOT to learn! I spent many years in it and totally respected my horse and loved roping. Wow, just what can I say...…….."city folk" as Jack Palace said in the movie City Slickers.

Sure. Dragging calves to the ground by their necks shows lots of respect.
And what could possibly be more respectful than these morons causing a horse's death?

More respect:
Traditional cruelty & stupidity doesn't make it right.
Denial - it's not just a river in Egypt.
