It makes me sad when people judge me or others without really getting to know me/them. Not many things come into the "I can't stand..."-category. When trying to think of things I really hate, I can only say that poor service, be it on the phone or face to face, is the number one thing I hate the most. I feel it is lack of knowledge in the service person - either of human beings or of service in generel. I have a right to be treated with decency and respect just like everyone else. On the other hand if a service person excuses his behaviour with having a bad day, I forgive them right away - we can all have a bad day and that's a-ok! I have been in service jobs most of my life and anyone with a service job should be proud to service others :) Wether it is opening doors, whiping buts or cleaning halls, it is all about making others more comfortable. |
Wow...I sure can relate to most of your most hated things. I also hate mosquitos...those little suckers are driving me crazy this summer. The city sprayed on Thursday and we had a couple of nice days...now they're back in full force! I hate it when I go to great pains to keep my yard nice and the neighbors let the weeds grow and go to seed...then the stinking wind blows and they end up in my yard! I have never seen so many weeds here and all I have to do is look at the neighbors to figure where they're coming from! I hate it when parents let their kids scream that high pitched scream in a public place. My kids tried that once and never did it again because I taught them not to. So many parents just let them scream and scream and they must be so used to it that it doesn't bother them anymore. One day in Walmart a kid was screaming...next thing his dad is asking him if he wanted a certain toy. I said, "That's nice...reward him for his bad behavior!" I've also told people they need to learn to control their child...they look at me as if I'm nutz. I'm just speaking for the rest of the people in the place that are getting a headache from that constant screeching! Ugggggh. Seems everywhere I go there's a screeching kid nearby! I hate it when I'm somewhere giving them my business and treated rudely or like they are doing me a favor by waiting on me. Some don't even greet me or say thank you. I have gotten so I say things such as, "Your friendliness overwhelms me," or if they don't say Thank You I will say, "Well THANK YOU??!! I have also started calling managers and reporting these people that act that way. Good grief...they are getting paid for doing that...the least they can do is smile and say hello. I would think they would be drilled on treating the customers with respect, but as long as they get away with it, there's nothing to stop them. A few months back I got a speeding ticket and took Maddie with me to the PD to pay it. I walked up to one of the windows and asked if this is where I pay my speeding ticket. The lady grabbed my ticket out of my hand, wrote me up a receipt...threw the receipt down in front of me and started to walk away. I was ticked so I said, "I bet it wasn't your personality that got you this job!" Then I said to Maddie, "Maybe I'm being punished for breaking the law." I was SOOO ticked! I love my vet, but hate one of their policies. If your dog gets sick, you can bet there will not be an opening for them to get in that day, but they will give you a work in appointment which costs $20 more than the regular appointment. It probably doesn't sound like much to some of you, but I pay all of Maddie's bills with no help from my husband and $39 a crack just to walk in the place can add up fast...especially when one has a sickly puppy like Maddie. I think they should leave some open times for sick dogs....no way can we say, "I need an appointment for 2 weeks from today because my dog will be sick!" I'm tempted to call there and say I'd like an appointment for Maddie for every day at 1:00 and I will call them each morning if she is not sick and I need to cancel it. Bet that would go over like a lead balloon! Well, as I said...I relate to most all of the other posts. Villette giving the one finger salute...I thought in bigger places you don't dare do that anymore for fear of being shot. You be careful!!! |
I hate sour milk.. I was craving chocolate milk yesterday so I made myself and huge glass and i chugged half the glass and as I stopped i noticed it tasted HORRIBLE... I made justin try it and as soon as it touched his mouth he spit it out.. LOL.. The milk was bad but the date said use by July 28!! Werid.. I seem to get alot of sour milk.. drives me crazy!! I also hate velvet.. I get the chills when i touch it.. That and chalk!! |
LOL Connie - I Said "Worthy" of the one finger salute - I really don't drive around pegging fingers at everyone though some days it sure would feel good ! You're right - here in Houston - I would be shot. |
LOL...Villette...I guess I read it wrong! I was picturing you driving around with your two little darlings with you and flipping off the crazy drivers! Now I can get that picture out of my mind and don't have to worry about you being shot. Regarding the one finger salute...I have a funny story. My husband had a heart attack a few years back and had an angiogram and then had to have another one later that day. I was without any support group because they had gone home, so I was sitting alone in the hospital lobby waiting for the angiogram to be over. In walks this guy...he was a weirdo that walked the streets...never wore a shirt...even in winter. He would do gestures to people as if he was boxing at them. He'd also stop traffic and try to intimidate people. So that day I was sitting at the hospital, in he walks...he sees me and gets this angry look on his face and walks over to me ranting and shouting and moving his hands as if he's boxing. I'm sitting there thinking..."Why the hey did he decide to pick on me?" Finally a security guard came and escorted him out and I breathed a sigh of relief. Later when I told my sister about it she said, "Uh Ohhhhh...the other day when I was driving, he jumped out in front of me and started with his gestures. I flipped him off and stepped on it to make him move out of the way." I look a lot like my sister, so we figure he had me mistaken for my sister and was ticked off at me for flipping him off. We laughed our butts off over that...and my sister was driving her husbands car at the time, or she'd have never flipped him off in her own car. hahahaha She didn't want to be recognized...LOL...she figured her hubby might encounter the weirdo when he recognized his car, but never dreamed he'd come after me! |
I agree with most of you guy's pet peeves and have some of my own: I cant stand people who drive slow or stupid people on the road in general(which is most people :D ). I also cant stand slow computers/internet or bad cell phone signal or gas prices or Taxes(we pay too much and I think Govt needs to keep more of our money within the country instead of giving it all away to other countries) :) I also cant stand it when people dont watch thier children in public places and they run around screaming and I hate waiting anywhere, wether it be at Dr office, traffic or in line somewhere and I really cant stand people who do not read the rules on something and get all bent out of shape over something when it was written right there for them to see! I also cant stand teenagers at the movie theater! Come on some of us WANT to watch the movie! when I waited tables I HAD TONS OF PET PEEVES! I was only 21 at the time (3 years ago) but I hated waiting on teenagers because they demanded everything, wanted it for free, stayed at my table forever(keeping me from gettign other payign customers), ususally were load and obnoxious which would tick off my other tables and they would NEVER leave a tip! I could keep going on and on but I willl try to be good and have no more gripes! I feel better though :p ! |
Oh wait- I also cant stand phone soliciters, credit card companies, and those annoying people at the mall or fair who are doing "surveys". I guess I basically dont like people who waste my time. Time is very precious! I know its thier job to bug me but it doesnt change the fact I cant stand it! |
I cant stand people who dont understand , for me, I loved my animal just like it's my child. I cant stand when people ask me "what are you mixed with..you cant be all black " thats just rude !!! I hate when I find the EXACT bag or purse that I have been searching for when I have No money left . Cant stand when someone lies .. my ex lied when the evidence is right smack in my face ..that your LYING!!!! Cant stand people who chew with their mouth wide open..grossssssssssssss Cant stand that I have to put gas in my truck to make it move.. :eek: Cant stand when my friends remind me that I am a clean/control freak by leaving my coffee table magezines out of order. Cant stand excercising and seeing no results..except that everything is sore.. I think thats enough..but I have plenty more..lol :D that was like free therapy! ;) |

I also cant stand when you are carring on a conversation with one person, and the person accross the room jumps into your convo.... |

just my opinion, but i dont thing people should be generalizing teenagers, making them all sound bad. its not really fair |
Great thread! I hate when someone reads the computer over my shoulder...I get so little computer time around here with two kids as it is, they have to STALK me? I hate when my sisters make fun of me about being a "dog person" can't a person change? (Especially when they have the sweetest little boy in the world?) I hate, hate, hate call waiting I hate only having one bathroom in our house There are plenty more I'm sure but I can't think of them. I hate that! |

Like..whatever :rolleyes: .. LOL! just kidding MY teenagers say it over 100 times aday |
I can't stand: People who drive SLOW. It makes me nuts! People who chew gum like a cow - it really really pisses me off! People who allow their kids to scream and run all over a restaurant and/or mall. People, control your children! People who loudly slurp soup. People who look over my shoulder while I'm on the computer at work. This drives me crazy! GGGRRRRR! |

I too- hate any type of fake puirse!!! Everyone has them here!!! And I really hate when I have a client in my chair (I am a hairdresser) and EVERY time their damn cell phone rings,, they jump and have to answer it and then proceed to talk for 2-3 mins!!!! GGGRRRRRRR!!!!! Usually on average, a client gets 5 phone calls during thier appt!!! Its very irritating!!! Especially when I refuse to take a phone call when I have a client, I think its rude, plus I don't like to lose my consentration!!!! Then I end up running 15 mins behind and I hate running behind!!! I am very respectful of their time- I wish they were respectful about my time!!! |
Kristy- I actually hate when people call soda "pop"! I also hate it when people call sprinkles "jimmies". I have many of the same pet peeves as you all: Fran- I hate when I hold the door for someone and they don't say "thank you." Especially if I've gone out of my way to hold it until they get to the door because they're a few feet behind me. I also hate when people don't hold the door for me- especially men- is chivalry dead?? Villette- that is one of my biggest pet peeves- when a car pulls in front of you and there is NO ONE behind you for miles! Like they couldn't have waited an additional 10 seconds for me to pass. And... if you're going to pull in front of me, at least do the damn speed limit!!! I also hate: -slow internet service -high gas prices (can't we find a cheaper alternate fuel source?!) -bad cell phone signals -long lines at the grocery store because there are only a few cashiers on -wire hangers -the fact that my mom doesn't believe I'm allergic to peas -when anyone touches my collar bone (I freak out) -when my boyfriend leaves crumbs on the counter- tell me he doesn't notice them?!?! -when people wear shoes in my house -when people don't supervise their children in public (for their safety and my sanity) -unintelligent elected officials (especially when they're re-elected) -the sound of cotton being pulled apart -sweaty feet -snow and anything associated with it -irresponsible pet owners -when people brake before they signal (or don't bother to signal at all) |

I have. It is annoying. My friend and I were making cupcakes and she's like "oh are you going to put jimmies on there?" and I say "you want me to sprinkle a bunch of men named Jim on the cupcakes???!!!!" |
First I call them Jimmies and my husband looks at me like he can't comprehend because I didn't call them by the name he does. |
Quote:
LOL! I never did until I was in college. I worked at an ice cream shop and we had to upsell each sale and ask "Would you like a topping on that?" That was the first time that someone asked for "jimmies" and I was lost. I even asked them to repeat it a couple of times because I thought I misheard them. Now, mind you, the label on the topping clearly said "sprinkles", but they still said "jimmies" over and over and looked at me like I was a total idiot! |
OMG.... where do I start??? LOL - people that chew w/ mouth open,, smacking lips.. - people that scrape silverware on teeth!! - tooth paste left on sink,, (when you spit it out) -people that leave trashcans out for days, after trash has gone. -slurping when drinking -people swinging way left to turn right! -people that dont pick up their dogs poop! Ok thats it for now, I could continue....... ;) |
I was trying to replay earily, but got interrupted by my IT guy who made me log off. I hate interruption. I have a lot so bare with me. -Anyone encroaching on my personal space or touching my stuff without asking -bosses who micromanage -My husband shuts off the lights while i'm in the room. I hate the dark. -People asking when i'm going to have children, I've been married 3 yrs & am 25 yrs old. right now the answer is never sometimes i'm not even sure i can handle the dog. -When people talk to me while i'm reading and they expect me to answer. -People that try to change my opinion on a subject to there opinion -People that whistle (Sorry to anyone that likes to whistle) -When my parents give my grown, older brother money on top of the job they gave him at there company. -Hair touching my arm that i can't find. -Dishes in the sink -people that show up unannounced -Fighting with my husband about who's gonna call for pizza (we both hate using phones) -People telling me what to do -My mom's ability to turn anything I say into something she hates about my personality -backhanded compliments That's all my pet peeves but i have to brag that my husband does do the laundry and picks up after himself. We both close the toilet lid completely so the cat doesnt' fall in. So I've yet to fall in since I was married. Also on the tatoo thing-when people ask if they hurt i say no they felt good and kinda turned me on that usually ends the conversation. |
Listing my pet peeves is like opening a can of worms.. it reminds me of all the things I hate. *lol* Most of my rants are job related, I work at an answering service. :mad: I can't stand it when people say "Listen" on the phone. That drives me crazy, it's obvious I'm listening to you, I'm on the freakin' phone with you. :mad: I abhor when people go on a 10 minute rant without taking a breath and then stop mid sentence to ask if I'm still listening. Like I'm supposed to interrupt them on their rant to make sure they know I'm still on the line. :mad: I hate when people exaggerate. You would not believe how many people told me they were going to die from not having water in their shower and how it would be my fault. Are you kidding me?!?!?! :mad: I hate inconsiderate neighbors... especially loud noisy ones. During the day I can endure it, but I don't want to hear your stereo bumping at 4am. :mad: I really dislike people who pick up my dog without asking my permission first. I was at a gas station yesterday with my dogs and this lady comes out of nowhere and just picks Tuffy up! WTH! :mad: I strongly dislike children with no manners and hate their parents for not teaching them any. :mad: I hate, hate, hate people who are rude to the answering service operators. It's not our fault that your doctor/apartment complex/etc doesn't think your problem is an emergency. We don't make the rules, we just have to follow them.. if you have a gripe, take it to someone who matters, not me. Please don't yell at the operators who answer your calls, we are people and we do get hurt by your ugly comments. Someone actually threatened to kill me because his toilet wasn't working.. yeah, that's the kind of rude I'm talking about. I could go on and on and on... and on... but I think I got my main ones out. This is a fun thread, helped me get out my gripes. :D |
Oh man, what a great thread. :thumbdown People who don't enunciate in person or on the phone. Speak CLEARLY! I don't read minds! :thumbdown People who speed up, pass you on the right, get in front of you, and then slow down to a snail's pace. :thumbdown People who don't ask when they want to see your dog. :thumbdown UNRULY CHILDREN! Control them! All my mom had to say was "Do you want to go to the bathroom and have a talk??" and we were SILENT! :thumbdown People who park 2 inches away from your car and leave a generous 20 miles between themselves and the next car over. :thumbdown People who assume I have an eating disorder because I have a fast metabolism. I have a thousand more... But I'll spare you. ;) |
This thread's great!! I have to add my two cents worth!! All of the above and then some!! Pulling out in front of you is bad enough but then going 5mph once they're in front of you!! That the part that really ticks me! And going slow in the passing lane!! "Keep right except to pass" is the law in my state! Being a safe distance behind a car (one car length per 10 mph-but usually less!) only to have some one cut in. Rude people - NO ONE is above common courtesy as far as I'm concerned! People who stop in front of doors/elevators/stairways and hold a conversation oblivious of the people trying to get around them (that's actually one for the listing above, isn't it!) People who don't tell you who it is on the phone. Or worse yet, they tell you to guess who! I've been known to hang up on people for that one! Then they have the nerve to call back all pissed off!! (There is a guy who calls my boss several times a day and just says "is he there?" After about a year of sweetly asking "may I ask who is calling" he finally gets it and now says hi and his name first. But it took a YEAR!!) People who cut in line or interupt when someone is helping you as if they are more important than you are! People who say, "Do you know who I am?" (Usually don't care!) Service people who answer the phone and leave you hanging forever while they take care of the phone call. (Hey, at least I made the effort to come in person! Tell them on the phone to please hold!) Talk about anal!!! These are just the ones on top of my head!! LOL :rolleyes: |
Oh yeah!! And people who leave a message, but say their number so fast or mumbled that you can't understand it!! Wheww! How could I forget that one! It's one of my biggies! (See what I mean by anal!) lol |
I just thought of another one... When you get a call from telemarketers and have to wait for an actual person to get on the line. Hello! If you want to reach me, someone had better be on the other end when I pick up! Don't call me and make me wait. :mad: Oh, Sherry Lynn- Great story to go with the "Do you know who I am?!" pet peeve. My bf's friend was in a clothing store, walking down a tight isle, and the neighboring city's mayor was in the same isle walking toward him. Mike (the friend) moved out of the way, but he still bumped the mayor a bit. The mayor turned and looked and him and said "Do you know who I am?!" Mike said yeah, but I don't live in ..." (the mayor's city.) What an @ss. Just to put this into perspective for everyone- the city has about 40,000 people in it- we're not talking NYC or Los Angeles or anywhere great. He's done nothing to improve the city and has actually done some things that a lot of people aren't fond of. If you're going to walk around with a chip on your shoulder, make sure it's a well-deserved chip or else you just look like a moron! Great thread, by the way! |
Stores that put strobe lights up - they trigger migrains and epileptic seizures in some people. People that say 'it's just a dog'. Most of all - intolerance. Lida hates: Empty food bowls Not being able to get on the chair by herself Lost toys. |
