People that refuse to use the "search" function on these types of sites before they post a new thread

I realize I'm relatively new to this site, and likely guilty myself to a certain extent. I also chat on a travel site where this occurs with some frequency....

But to the point on this site, how many more "my dog has XYZ - HELP HELP HELP" posts are needed? Seriously? Use the search function. Read. Research. Then if you have questions, ask. I've done that on countless issues in the last year. I still sometimes post a question to double back on something or gain clarity. However I've also found a lot of useful information that I could put into practice and never had the need to add redundant threads.

Sorry, venting. Bad day all around.

People who chew their fingernails. Talking to someone who appears to be eating their fingertips. It it so hard for me to even concentrate on what I'm saying to them because I want to tell them if they're hungry I have some candy in my purse. Come on people, NASTY!

But - but - what if you really have to go???


Exchanging gifts with distant relatives just to be polite. I hate spending money on something I know they probably won't like, and knowing that they have spent money on something I probably won't like. Why not just give the money to charity, where it might do some good?

People who don't clean up after their pooches in public areas; UGH!

Drivers who don't pay attention while driving (too busy on the cell phone most of the time!)


Thanks for posting OP...whew; I feel much better now. LOL

Drives me crazy...lol
 

People taking advantage of the kindness of other's for their own personal
gain.

People not taking the time to say, Thank you.

People always putting themselves first when other's need help.

One of the bigest one for me... I have a friend that comes by to see me every once in awhile. The whole time he's here, he never stops talking. I even excusing myself for a few minutes, hoping he'll forget but he just starts up where he left off. It could be 20 minutes later... This drives me right up the wall. LOL

Kathleen Mom to My Little Girls: Punken Pie and Breese Be Be

People who invite you to their home and don't bother to put a clean handtowel in the bathroom and the only towel to dry your hands is their used bath towels. :eek::eek::eek:

The toilet paper is most public bathrooms - you know the kind where you pull just one little piece off at a time because it keeps ripping. It's so annoying. lol

People who love to make up spelling for their child's name.

Jamie.
Jayme
Jamee

Madison
Madyson
Maddison
Madisson

Ysybella (Isabella...I kid you not.)

Caitlin
Caitlen
Kaitlyn
Caitlyn
Caitlan

Jaxon

These are just a few of the stupid spellings I've seen. Spelling your child's name weird doesn't make your child unique! It just means the poor kid will be spelling their name their whole life.

These are just a few of the people I actually know.

Really, that bothers you? I like that, I think it makes people unique :p

I only have a few peeves. Life is just to short for me not to be happy :D

Spelling a name differently doesn't annoy me as long as it at least looks normal. Some are just off the wall (like the Isabella one you mentioned)! When it's like that it just seems like their parents were trying too hard to be different. Other times I like it - I was given a common name and I WISHED my mother had at least spelled it different.

I don't like it when they spell or pronounce it different and get offended if someone else says or spells it the "normal" way. If you wanted to name your kid Savannah but spell it Savanna then expect wrong spelling and not to be able to find your childs name on things pre-printed with that name spelled YOUR way.

LOVE Australia....been 3 times!

I bet you hate my name!!! lol its Hollee not the traditional Holly. It is annoying because I always have to spell it for people, but I like it other than that.

Lol well my mother works in a school so it's a huge pet peeve she's passed down.
Like you mentioned, she gets snotty parents who are basically 'how DARE you spell my baby's name with an i instead of a y.

I know a Cory.

Korey. :sickie:

I actually like the spelling "Jayme" for Jamie. I "had" a stray cat that I took care of for a couple months and that was his name.

What drives me absolutely crazy is when it doesn't even look like the same name. For example:

Megan. Or Meghan. Both normal.

The craziest one I have EVER seen is this:

Meagheanne.

WUT!?

This reminds me of this Brian Regan sketch. Sooo funny:

I hate it when people think it's ok to be rude to you so they aren't rude to someone else. The Christmas "NAUGHTY" list has offically begun!:mad:

This is a major, major pet peeve of mine.

I hate it when people act like all 16/17 year olds are immature little morons who don't have any real problems/stress in their lives. Of course there are SOME kids like this. But not all - and I've run into one too many people who feel this way about us. :mad:

Poorly Run Business
 

We stopped in at a tire place and made an appt for the next day. The next day we show up and there are two people ahead of us and another guy comes in behind us. Two guys are at the counter and neither are acknowledging any of us. One is answering incoming calls and one was making calls. The first guy left, we waited till the one guy placed his 4th call and we left too. Don't know if the last two people ever got waited on. We've gone there for years and other family members have too. Not anymore! I called them from my cell phone when we were driving away, they answered and said "I don't know what you want me to do, I can make you another appt." I said no we had one that only works if you talk to people who come in so you can check them in. I called the corp office and filed a complaint, someone was to call me back but didn't. They were supposed to have 3 people on call. Okay I vented. You would think in this economy a business would treat customers better, especially return customers.

^eek! I feel for you.

I have another one. This is stupid LOL. but I hate it when people 'huff' or 'phew' the whole time they're doing something. and whispering. I don't know why, but that muted, breathy sound REALLY grates on my nerves. If I'm ever watching a movie and there's a scene with a lot of whispering, I usually just turn it off. Drives me crazy.

I have lots :D but to list a few...

1.People who talk on their cell phone while in line and wont stop the call when it is their turn at the counter.. The poor cashier/teller etc. just has to stand there and wait for you while your holding up the darn line having your oh so important converstaion like your friggin Donald Trump :mad: and while I'm at it why are you talking SO LOUD ...we really don't want to know your business!!!

sorry :( I hate that!

2. People who make fun of other people less fortunate and act like it funny. I get almost hostile when someone makes fun of or gets rude with a poppy ( my term for an older grandpa type person)

3.People who either control their children to tightly and the child has no personal freedom ( and the poor kid is so stressed ) or the ones who don't show any intrest at all if their child is say , burning down you place of business :confused: and the ones who respond in a fake sing songy voice to try and calm them but you know just from watching the flinching chid that it's all an act and he/she is gonna get it from mommy dearest later.

4. People that eat with their mouth open and chew loudly!

5. When I worked in retail I hated when people would just drop their money on the counter when you told them the amount and then ignore you while you had to pick it all up off the counter like you were their personal servant , but God forbid you do the same with their change!:eek:

6. People who text each other while sitting right next to each other in the same room at a party.

7. People who talk thru the movie at the theater or bring a baby/child and then won't leave when he is crying or running around ...uuugghhh I REALLY Hate that!!!!!

OMG I HATE THAT!!! I ALWAYS make it a point to hand the clerk the money, and if I am going to dig in my wallet for 78 cents I tell them I have the change. There was a lady in front of me at the grocery store, she tossed the money onto the conveyor belt! Change too! Talk about rude! As far as my store, I hate it when they toss the money on the counter with the coins and I have to one by one pick them up or slide them off the showcase to get them.

When women pee on the top of public toilet seats and just LEAVE IT THERE for the next person to clean up after them.

OMG...ticks me off.

Cell Phones! Don't get me started. Our post office says you can not be on the phone while at the counter. Sad you have to put a sign up to tell anyone such a thing. As far as I'm concerned if you don't hang up at your turn then you give up your turn till you're off the phone. Bet alot of calls won't be to important to wait then. Even hubby talks loud on his cell and I tell him so, but he talks loud on every phone it seems. BUT he doesn't do it in a restaurant thank God. That really bugs me too, a couple times I wanted to offer my opinion of what they were talking about, gee maybe that's why they talked so loud....

Pee on the toilet seat and/or floor. Why do you think I want to go in and see your pee if you think just sitting on the seat is disgusting??????

I always try to hand cashiers money but one lady at the post office won't take money out of your hand, she just looks at you till you lay it on the counter. I don't know what the issue is unless it a discrimination thing maybe.

Yeah I hate it when people come into my shop already on the phone, like it's too loud outside so they need to come inside and have their conversation. They don't acknowledge me when I say hi, b/c they are on the phone, then when they hang up, they just leave. I am not your personal office!

Or when people just come in and stand around and talk to each other (not talking to me at all, just among themselves) about stupid things. If you just want to hang out and talk there is a starbucks three stores away.

Oh yeah, and when people just come in just b/c it's too hot or cold outside.

I hate it when I see someone mistreat an animal or a child.
I could just go nutts!

Lately both Starbucks near me have been a little off too. I go there enough to know what a Mocha should taste like. Today I decided maybe they aren't worth the money they charge anymore. I love them but they are not doing a good job these days. About the whispering....our last dog hated it, if anyone whispered she'd bark like crazy! lol I can say I've gone into stores to get warm in winter, but I talk to the owner and look around while there. I seldom leave empty handed too. lol

I have a new pet peeve.....commercials with screeching cats or honking horns. There is a commercial they are playing on tv that is advertising a thing for cats to scratch their nails on and this silly commercial has a cat screeching loudly. Every time my dogs hear it they take off running, leaping off the couch, barking wildly.:eek: I swear if one of them gets hurt because of this commercial I will sue them. A while back there was a commercial they kept playing on tv that had a honking horn on it and my dogs would always run to the door when they heard it. That commercial was always fooling my husband and I, if we were in another room and heard the honking we would go to the door and look outside. :mad:

I hate commercials who are so loud you have to turn them down then can't hear the show you were watching when it comes back on. There was a pizza commercial that had the dogs barking every time the delivery guy would ring the door bell too.

I hate it too when the commercials get really like like that. Someone told me that recently a law was passed that says the commercials cannot be loud like that. I hope it is so. Also, dogs barking in commercials. We can't watch anything with animals in it, the dogs go nuts.

I heard they were talking about passing that law I don't know if they actually did. Sad you need a law for such a thing. TILL IT STOPS I WILL CONTINUE TO HIT THE MUTE BUTTON every time a commercial comes on. Screaming at me won't make me buy your stuff it will make me shut you off.
