Poll - random pet peeves!
Morning ladies! As one of my pet peeves came to mind this morning, I thought it would be a fun poll - so bring 'em on!
1) A cluttered inbox - I try to deal with everything ASAP - and I also have a ton of folders to file stuff too - I hate seeing more than 10 messages in my inbox!
2) Toilet paper - DH always puts a new roll on with the end hanging under - it needs to be OVER!
I have a ton more, but I'll start with these and see what else comes to ming!
Re: Poll - random pet peeves!
When you get a virus on your computer and you get the blue screen of death =( my home comp died last night...
When I'm talking to dh and he starts talking over me about something completely irrelevant like he didn't hear me talking to begin with, and then acts surprised when it pisses me off >:(
Oh no! Not the blue screen of death! That's the worst! Mine died about a year ago - I spent hours on the phone with Dell's support people trying to bring it back to life - no luck : (
1. Misuse of the words: their, there, they're, too, to, two just irritates the L out of me,
2. My husband asks too many questions...LOL about completely random and irrevelent things that knowing the answers won't make a bit of difference one way or another.
3. Noise when I'm trying to sleep or light from the door someone forgot to close shining in my face as I'm trying to sleep.
4. snoring...but when Bob is out of town I almost miss it.
...I said almost.
I'm sure there are more...
Having to repeat myself more than once when it was obvious the first time they didn't hear me was due to the fact that they weren't even listening.
People who roll their eyes!
Hypocrits, enough said.
I thought of one more.
People who talk/ask questions through an entire movie.
OMG @#%#$&^#$%@!##$!@#... dh is the worst about this.
I know... it's the world's most annoying thing in the WORLD. =(
When I have an away message or a busy status up on my GChat/IM specifically saying that I'm busy or working on something - and someone sends me an IM saying they absolutely HAVE to ask me something right then. Or just sends me a message saying "Hey, you there?" and then proceeds to start sending me messages.
That drives me up the wall. Then they get pissed when I ignore it. Hello, it says I'm busy for a reason!!!!
Oh yeah he is totally annoying!! And for some odd reason his stupid voice gets stuck in my head when I see one of the products he endorses!
Smoking in a public place- I can't stand the smell
People who merge without using their blinker causing me to slam on the breaks and almost crash
People who call and when I don't answer they call right back instead of leaving a message (MIL is the worst at this)
When I only have two items at the store and the person in front of me has a whole buggy and they look at me and my items and say nothing even though I know they know they just caused me to have to wait like 15 minutes!!!!
I am sure there are more but I just can't think of any right now!
Candi - don't hate me! I am a HORRIBLE eye-roller. DH always makes fun of me - the worst part is, I don't even notice when I do it! Although, it's usually at some asenine comment that he makes....
Oh, I detest that man! DH is such a sucker for infomercials! I tell him that he is an advertisers wet dream.... He always believes the hype!!
LOL Lisa I was mainly referring to kids who roll their eyes because they think you are the stupidest person on earth. I had one of my students do that to me this morning and it just steamed me up!
Jane, I know I misuse the terms there, their, they're, LOL. Sometimes I've got a one track mind.
People who smack food and chew with there mouth open
People who talk to folks in the background while I'm on the phone with them. Ry used to do this all the time and it burned me up, he finally broke that habit, thank God.
Like Jamie said, the grocery store line thing burns me up too. I generally let folks go in front of me when I've got tons of stuff and they only have a few items.
People who go slow in the fast lane on the freeway. These are the people that get the finger and get cut off.
LOL...Bob ususlly is not a sucker for the infomercials but he asked me the other night to buy the Sham Wows. crazy
Slow drivers ::coughcough::snowbirds::coughcough::
Old people that TRY to cut in front of me in line at the library, post office, etc. (It happens a lot!)
Extremely rude people who work in food service. I don't need a BFF, but I would appreciate common courtesy.
This happens to me too! I can't believe how bad this is. And it is always the REALLY old ones. I guess they figure life is short, they are at the end of it so they want at the front of the line!
LMAO, that's great!! I've had it happen to me before and I generally try to push my way in front of them again, LOL!!
especially during the holiday season...
shopping buggies-- they don't belong in the middle of the aisle and if someone is looking at items on a shelf, don't park your buggy between the person and the things they are looking at. i always try to get a plastic handbasket to carry instead. maybe i'm just impatient or weird...
-Smoking in restaurants.
-People who dont return calls.
-DH only 1/2 listening to what I say.
-Kids in school that suck their thumbs, chew on hair, etc.
