Pet Peeves- whats yours?? - Page 31 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

People who constantly crack unfunny jokes, or constantly brag. Stop using me to shore up your ego.

I also hate know-it-alls. I admit I am kind of a know-it-all, but I actually do like to learn and listen from other people. I hate when someone constantly lectures me, and then gets incredibly defensive if we move to a topic I know something about. I work in programming, and I get really sick of dealing with all the fragile male egos.

I hate it when a friend doesn't contact you for months at a time but still expects you to be her maid of honor at her wedding in MEXICO but still hasn't given you any of the info etc so you can start planning the trip, knowing you have another wedding a few months later for your own daughter you have to pull together and pay for. She sends a card saying call me, in response to the B-Day gift you sent her but never mentions yours. I finally do call (I hate talking on the phone) and she asks to call me back in an hour she's at work. Almost 2 hours later she calls and talks for almost 2 hours about her job. I know she's going through alot right now and working like crazy but saying sorry I missed your B-Day, how are you guys, etc would have been nice. I've gone through alot recently myself and never got to even mention it. I did finally ask about her wedding just before we hung up and still no firm plans due to H1N1, the travel agency advised against flying now. Okay I understand that but the wedding is in March. I have asked her three times now for the wedding info reminding her that her wedding isn't the only thing we have going on that we need time to plan and budget.

Ok not a pet peeve but I needed to vent. Thanks for listening.

I know what you mean. I have a "friend" that always invites me to her bday parites, but never comes to mine, so I've stopped inviting her. She never calls, only sends texts. I haven't talked ot texted w/ her in months, and all of a sudden texts me to come visit her in San Francisco!

Do they realize how this looks and feels on our end? And our B-Days are the same month so hard to mess that one up I think. I want to be understanding but geez!

If I do go "up" it will be to visit you and Thor, not my "friend"

My biggest pet peeve is when an "authority" figure tells you to do/not to do something and follow their own rules. My boss made me so mad... I've worked at my job for 2.5 years and we have ALWAYS ate at our desks. We all do it every day. So, about a week ago, I was eating some mac and cheese and working and she comes out all snippy and said that we can't eat at our desks. I was like "okay" and she left. She never told anyone else about this new "rule", which irritated me to begin with because why should the rule only apply to me? Well yesterday, she was walking into her office opening a bag of chips. REALLY?! Did you not just tell me not to eat at my desk?! It's not the eating at the desk part - I'll stop, no problem, but don't make up rules just for me to follow and not even follow them yourself!

capt_noonie · 11-04-2009, 02:26 PM

How about when you need to talk to someone about something really important and they are unreachable, even though you've left tons of messages, and no one seems to know when they will be back in the office.

Or how about, when someone ELSE makes a mistake and says you haven't filed your taxes when you HAVE and they threaten to revoke your license. AND when you've already called FOUR times to have them straighten it out, but no one seems to know how to do their job???!!!

OR, how about when you keep getting transfered to the wrong dept and they keep transferring you around b/c no one wants to help you?!

I've been on the other end of that where you turn the light off and people still get in line, or you're the 10 items or less cash only line and someone with a cart so full the wheels are about to collapse gets in line and gets mad when you point out the sign and tell them you can't cash them out.

-People who yawn when they talk.

-People who complain about Christmas/Holiday music. Get.Over.It.

dogbert · 11-05-2009, 12:12 PM

I hate to rush to Christmas so fast that we don't get to fully enjoy others so Christmas music the day after Thanksgiving is great. Before that and I have to say it's to soon even though I love it.

MeganS · 11-05-2009, 12:29 PM

I don't feel like it's rushing it, I feel like it's extending it. I've been listening to it for at least 2 weeks. I think it's ridiculous when stores have trees out in September/October, but it is November now. The month is going to fly by anyway, why not just enjoy it?

capt_noonie · 11-09-2009, 02:19 PM

*person walking into my store*

Me: Hi how are you doing?

Them: Just looking!

Me:

Don't they know that is the most annoying-est thing ever??!!! No crap you're just looking!

Now I KNOW you're not going to buy anything!
