when people see the trash can is full and just keep piling trash on top

when someone uses the last of something and puts the empty container back in the fridge

when one of my kids call and get the answering machine..hang up..call back..hang up..call back.. and when I finally answer they say " I thought you must be sleeping so I wanted to wake you up" And.. there is no urgent news . Why I have not returned the favor when I know they're sleeping I do not know

when the mowers mow down a newly planted bush or plant

when my doctor makes me drive all the way in for a visit just because I need a blood pressure meds refill

when I get home from grocery shopping and discover the bagger left something I bought out of the bags
 

Pet peeves? Mine is having to dodge people's carts in the grocery store because their parked in the middl of he aisle or moving down the wrong side or stopped and visiting in the 'intersections'. Pretend you're driving down the road people, which side would you be on then and do you stop and visit under the intersection light???

Same here plus they stop to chat and Scots are chatty. If I dare say 'excuse me' they look at me like I've said 'move your fat arse!'.
 
Driving on highways with entrance ramps. Folks on ramps who think all they have to do is turn on their signals and everyone will scramble around just to let them in.

If you are talking about those people who drive up the shoulder because they are too good to wait in line like everyone else and then expect to be able to cut in at the front of the line..then I hear ya!
 
Hair stylists that do not understand that taking off half an inch does not mean taking off an inch and a half.
 
When I constantly have to call companies to ask if the modified food starch they use is gluten free. They always reply that their company always uses gluten free starch. Like I should know this! I'm not a mind reader. Some companies use anything. This is a big health issue for me.
Know one in my family knows how to replace the toilet paper. They will get a new roll out of the closet,use it, and stand it on the back of the toilet. Also pushing the chair under the table when they are done eating. how hard can that be???I even do this in a restaurant when I leave..
 
Car drivers who are immune as to what is going on around them.

Like I'm trying to get into the left turn lane (with my turn signal on) and they won't pull up the foot
or so to let me in.

Also rarely used bicycle lanes painted on the streets.

Scots are chatty!!! Oh my goodness, that explains so much. I moved to Nova Scotia (New Scotland) 8 years ago and coming from British Columbia, I was amazed to see how many folks stand patiently in line while the guy at the check out or bank teller have no issue with stopping to chat, and chat and chat......and no one in the line up looks fed up or impatient. Maybe because they all do the same thing!

And Falcon, here it's not unusual to see the following: You're in the turning lane to make a left turn at the light. The light changes to green and you wait for the lineup of oncoming traffic to come through the light and your plan is to turn after the lineup has moved through.....and then someone in that line up just sits there and sits there, until you realize that they are waving you through ahead of them. Do you take advantage of their helpfulness and make your turn, or do you sit there and wait until the correct time to turn. Nova Scotians do seem to be a different breed even when it comes to driving!

They do that here as well! And nobody ever looks annoyed! There is only one big major grocery store in this whole peninsula (and one small-medium one). The population of this entire peninsula is about 22,000. So chances are you know the cashier, someone in the queue, etc etc.

Exactly! Four people in the house and no one else thinks to add a roll and spare once in awhile...guess they think the potty fairy does that.

People who hold up supermarket lines extreme couponing or dickering over a dime discrepancy...suck it up or get out of line and find a manager, but just really. Each coupon says the shampoo has to be 4 bottles at a time and the customer has fifteen coupons...this line might take an hour.

Otherwise able bodied people who refuse to bag their own groceries. If someone has an arm or back condition then hey I'll offer to help ya too. But some people just get their superiority jollies demanding the poor cashier use only a certain kind of bag, separate bags for that, double bags for that. Cashiers have the hardest job in the store, they appreciate kindness.
 
That my cable company (Comcast) decided to make the Science Channel, Nat'l Geographic, and Spike TV *premiums* that's are no longer included in my "Basic package". This is the third time they've *adjusted their packages* within the past 18 months.

Even more peeved that Comcast has been allowed to corner the market in digital/cable services...at least in No.California.

Couponing isn't really done here. And you always have to do your own bagging although sometimes the cashier will offer to help with a big order. Plus most bring their own bags especially since there is a charge for each plastic bag now.
 
1. Idiots who get in the "10 items or less" line at the grocery store and have enough in their cart to supply the 45th Infantry Division for a week.

2. The shickenchit cashier who doesn't have the kahonas to tell them to go to another line.
 
Even worse the ones with fifty items...at self-check...and some of the huge items are not going to scan, so they need help and are blocking an open machine. I have a drink and two boxes of dog yummies, I could be out in five seconds if not for those clowns.
 
The people who do what I call a greedy park. There's really enough room for two, but they park just in the middle so there's not enough room for another car either end.
