just thought it might be fun to share pet peeves. i have so many i could write a book. I also thought it would be fun to make somewhat of a game out of it. Just post on pet peeve per post and try not to turn it into a long rant.
people who stay in the left lane when they are not passing. (U.S. driver of course)

Woohoo! I made it to someone's pet peeve list!!!!:nilly:
I'm a vegetarian. I cook meat for my family, give meat to my dog and cats, wear leather shoes/jackets, etc.
One of my pet peeves is people that assume vegetarians are all wackos and treat us like morons just because of our eating habits.
Ah well, I guess there are too many wacky vegans out there making us sensible vegetarians look bad to change the world's opinion.
People who drive in the passing lane going under the limit and REFUSE to move

I noticed how almost half of these are road related. :)
That reminds me of this saying: You know you're in Oregon when you're in a 65 MPH zone, you're going 80, and people are still passing you. Let me tell you, this is true on the I-5.
Another one is when you're in the public restroom and in the next stall over, you hear grunting, straining, and panting like the guy's in his own bathroom.

yes, you can. it started in the prison system because belts were not issued to prisoners despite having baggy pants (to prevent their use in violence/suicide) and it quickly made its way out of the prison system into the society of criminals, and then into the world of gangs and thugs and the like.

I work for Social Services and one of our social workers said was to signify that you were "available" (in prison) do not know if that is true but regardless, I think it looks really stupid and disgusting. JMO.
Clerks who forget to swipe the magnetic alarm strip so the alarms go off as you exit the store. I went to the pharmacy last night and the pharmicist didn't deactivate the alarm strip so when I walked down front and exited the store the flashing lights and alarm went off. I didn't stop - I never do, if they're too stupid to deactivate their security strips they can come chase me, they never do. It always amazes me when other people stop and are all embarassed and go back and have their packages checked.

Being asked as I leave a store by someone standing there at the door if they can check my receipt... At Sam's club and places where I pay a membership, it is part of it so I don't really mind... I think it is stupid, but I don't mind much...
There is one WalMart here with someone standing at the exit to examine your receipt. I didn't join up or sign anything with them to shop there... so I say no when they ask and keep walking... that and I never shop there unless I have to (i.e. in a hurry someplace and that is the only place I can stop)

People at grocery stores who REFUSE to use the conveyer belt.
There is one woman at Aldi's who refused to use the conveyer belt. She will wait until the belt is empty, then walk to the front of the belt, and hand the cashier one item at a time to ring up. And this is with her whole cart full of groceries.
I wasn't paying attention and started putting my stuff on the belt. This woman said, I'm not done with my order. I told her that is what the conveyer belt is for, to unload one's cart. She then said she does not like another person's item on the conveyer belt while she is checking out. I then told her there had been thousands of items on the conveyer belt earlier in the day, so my items should not matter.
I have been shopping at this same aldi's for about a year. When I see this women in line ahead of me, I just walk around the store until she's gone. I cant even stand to look at her. lol

I was watching The Dark Knight about 8 weeks ago, when I hear this guy 2 seats away going like "Oh my god!" or "Holy ****." or even worse "Oh ****!" every time something action-y happened. I had to spend 2 hours and 45 minutes listening to that. Luckily, I watched it 3 more times after that with no Joker (pun intended) sitting close to me.

yes, you can. it started in the prison system because belts were not issued to prisoners despite having baggy pants (to prevent their use in violence/suicide) and it quickly made its way out of the prison system into the society of criminals, and then into the world of gangs and thugs and the like.
those types of criminals are easy to pantz and how they do then

Channel-surfing. I'll waste hours surfing the net, but for some reason I cannot stand TV channel-surfing.
Also, I really dislike being in a room full of people where the TV is on, but no one is paying attention to it.

There is one WalMart here with someone standing at the exit to examine your receipt. I didn't join up or sign anything with them to shop there... so I say no when they ask and keep walking... that and I never shop there unless I have to (i.e. in a hurry someplace and that is the only place I can stop)
I have tried walking past greeters at several Wal-Marts near me while they're checking other people's receipts, simply because I'm impatient and refuse to waste my time standing in line for a receipt check, and I'm NEVER successful! These people are always rude and actually yell at me "Excuse me MA'AM! I need to check your receipt!" :angryfire: Let me go already!

suffice it to say when the chef was talkin to him after he made the waitress cry he was not pleased with my response when he asked for the owner to find that i was the owner

Sorry, in my first comment about nasty nails, I meant to say that LONG nails with dirt under them is gross. I can handle dirt under the nails a little better when they're short, but seeing crooked, funky long nails on a guy... ewww. My coworker who taps my computer screen has long dirty nails. Double whammy!
