Hope this hasnt been asked recently.


Some of mine are...

Getting a menu when you call a company and then not having the choice you need or talking to a robot and hearing him say..."it sounds like you said F**k you" is that correct?

Being put on hold and having very loud music playing.



What are some of yours?
 

People who are late.
drivers who sit ih the middle lane of a motorway
anybody who promises to do something........and doesn't
 

Or drivers who turn in by you with no signal...meanwhile you were waiting for them to pass, and could have gone yourself. :rolleyes:
 
People who get ticked off at you and won't tell you - if you're upset about something I did or said, tell me, don't pout like a child.
 
People in large 4WD vehicles who just back out of their parking spot in a car park or anywhere for that matter and don't bother looking to see if there is a car coming, they seem to have the mentality that their vehicle is large so people will make way for me, i have had so many near misses from them.
Another Pet Peeve here in Australia they now have parking spots for women with prams, hello since when are they disabled they are fitter than most people, a lot of places i go have a lot of Mummy parks but no Disabled for people who really need it, OMG i didn't need special spots just outside the door of the shops when my kids were in a pram, i was fit enough to walk just like most other Mothers or Mummies as they are being called here of late. Grrr
 
Mine are too numerous to mention and I try not to dwell on them. But I will bitch about people who are constantly on their cells phones, even yaking away in the check out line at the grocery store, holding things up because they are so busy talking and trying to do things one handed...jack-wagons!

And people are still talking away when driving and not paying any attention to what they are doing, driving wise. :soap2:
 
OH, you got to it before me, but it's way more than a pet peeve and I want to yell at them, "Please put that damned phone down" while we're eating/socializing. It's one of the rudest things on the planet, IMO. I get furious every time it happens, and I'm not one who gets angry often.

Ditto on the automated answering and/or being on hold & forced gawdawful music. This is so common, it's ridiculous. Huge as it is, my doctor's office is almost the only place I call and get a live person. (I thank them all the time for it.) Hand in hand with that is being connected to a tech support/whatever person who may have had 2 wks of English in 1st grade! aarrgghh!!!

And double ditto on being late habitually. No excuse is good enough for doing it on a regular basis and shows total narcissism to me.
 
OMG i hate the morons who walk around with their phone glued to their ear talking so loud you could hear it even if a jumbo jet landed beside you, it's so rude. These people seem to be addicted to their phones as they keep looking at them, are they willing them to ring or just don't know what to do when they aren't talking on the god damn phone. Mummy must have taken their dummies off them too soon i feel.

Why do people seem to think those on the other end are in another country, cuz they could darned near hear them without the phone? It's mind blowing, as if the person listening is deaf. I can give the dirtiest looks to those doing it, but they pay no attention and continue their yelling. Those who text in social situations are equally as rude, don't you think?
 
Another one is people in a movie theater who begin texting. The light is extremely distracting and why do they always seem to be sitting directly in front of me? It plainly asks that cells, etc., be shut off before the movie begins, but these rude ADHD
people can't stop for a minute. Apparently it bothers others as well, as a retired high ranking retired policeman just killed a guy in a movie theater last week for texting during the movie. I get his frustration, but that's carrying it way too far.
 
Katy, I'm sure there must have been other factors in his life that drove him to that point. The proverbial straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. Too bad he didn't get help before he reached that boiling point. I do think theatres need to more aggressively enforce the cell phone rule.

One of my PP's is people that pull right out in front of you causing you to slam on the brakes when there isn't another car behind you for blocks.

Another one is people that come barreling up behind you, change lanes, jam in front of you and slam on their brakes to make a turn...Had someone do both of these idiotic stunts to me the other day within 2 minutes.
 
How about the folks who are too lazy (or thoughtless) to put their shopping carts in the cart corral after loading their purchases in the car? They just leave them to either be in somebody's way in an otherwise empty parking space or leave them for the wind to blow them into a parked car. Nice:mad:
 
I think those ear thingies are swiftly going out of style. I don't see much of them anymore.

I think some hearing aids are made to look that way as a disguise....SO one never knows, do one?

Completely agree Katy......also the people who talk almost the whole way through the movie.
Hubby and I had a woman sitting next to me recently who did just that, non stop to her friend.....
talking about the movie, what just happened, what will happen next, why did he do this or that.....
I kept giving her filthy looks but she just went on and on.....I'm so angry emoticon.gif

If I ever come across somelike her again I'll just tell them to SHUT UP!!
 
Screaming, crying unruly kids in a restaurant. Times are few and far between that I haven't encountered this in a restaurant. I make it a point to scan the tables and ask to be seated away from people with kids. I want to have a meal in peace, not next to a screaming kid, unless the parents are picking up the check.
