Pet peeves

Let's get some conversation going...

What are things that other people do that get on your nerves (not necessarily your husband, but people in general)?

Re: Pet peeves

  • People that have one sided conversations.  They come by your office, ask how you are doing, then unleash a wrath of things that is going on w/ them, never to even ask about you. 
  • I just went in our breakroom and someone had brought us this lovely plate full of brownies.  So I thought I would have one.  And when I bit into it, guess what I found?

    A peanut.  WHY do people ruin perfectly good brownies by putting nuts in them?  AND if you're going to do that and give them to someone, why not tell the people you gave them to so that no one has an allergic reaction?  (I'm not allergic, but one of my assistants is...she had also picked up a brownie, which I immediately knocked out of her hand after I bit into mine).

    LOL, I've heard you complain about nuts ruining brownies before.  The allergy thing is serious though.

  • Yuck, I hate nuts in brownies too.

    Gum popping is my biggest one, but we've covered my hatred of that.

    People who don't take care of things for themselves - but that directly relates to MH right now.

    People on power trips when they have no real power.  But that's more funny than annoying.  Ok, it can be annoying too.

    Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!

    I do hate nuts in brownies.  And it's so weird - we looked at EVERY brownie she brought us (there were 12 on the plate) and only one of them had a hint of a nut showing.  I told my assistant (jokingly) she was probably trying to kill her...

  • My pet peeves are one-uppers, people who always turn conversation so they can talk about themselves, people who always have drama in their lives I always feel like if you have that much drama in your life you are most likely creating some of it.

    I'm sure I have many more.

  • --Bad pet parents.  Bad parents are one thing - those irritate and piss me off.  But bad pet parents... Angry

    --Drama people like Joanna mentioned.  "Look at me" is no longer amusing once you're older than... 8. LOL

    I know there are more. LOL

    Nuts in brownies are gross, IMO.  I suppose they add texture, but come on - who doesn't LOVE the texture of chocolatey goodness.

  • Nuts in brownies don't bother me.

    I hate when people drive slow in the fast lane.

    I hate when people don't use signals.

    I hate when MH leaves the cap off the toothpaste.

    When Maggie chews on her feet she makes this super annoying noise and it drives me crazy.

    I totally agree with most of these!  But my biggest one is when someone stops to turn in the driving lane when there is a turn lane!!!
