So the WTF Wednesday got me to thinking. What little annoyance(s) really grate on your nerves?
Re: Pet Peeves
1.- I can't stand when people b!tch & moan about something & refuse to do anything to change it.
2.- When people say that they're gonna do something & never follow thru. DH's ex-wife is famous for this. It drives me especially crazy with her b/c it's always something concerning SD that we have to end up doing (like packing her lunch for day camp.) UGH!
1 - i totally agree with george-ann on THAT (people whining and doing nothing about it)
2- i hate when people act like they are great when really they suck (and I especially hate it when they do one little thing good and get praised for it, only inflating their ego more)
3- i hate when people ask the same question 50 times
4- similar to #1 i hate when people b*tch and moan about something that is impossible to change. whine about it once and then move on, k?
i'm sure there are more. lots of things annoy me :P
I agree with the b!tching...I understand we all need to b!tch every once and a while, but do so and move on or do something about it....My sister is horrible about this....
One of my biggest pet peeves is people not cleaning up after themselves...It is not that hard to throw something away, or put it where it belongs...
1. People who are late
1a. People who are late and don't call to say they are going to be late
2. People who insist on clipping their nails IN PUBLIC. You have no idea how many times I have almost gone off on people who have done this on the bus/train
3. People who repeat the same thing 50 times
4. Whiners
Tales From a Kitchen Misfit

Oh, I have so many. Some of mine echo the ones already posted:
1. People who are always late (so disrespectful).
2. People who are always negative/complaining. Especially like Rachel said, about something that's already happened and/or can't be changed.
3. People who blast their car radios with their windows down. This drives me batty. Just because you love Ricky Martin doesn't mean the whole neighborhood has to hear it.
4. Gum smacking. I think gum chewing in general is just gross.
5. People who sit there calculating their exact share when a group goes out to dinner, or complain how much things cost. It's so much easier to just split it evenly, and it all evens out over time. (yes, my friend M's boyfriend - I'm looking at you)
TTC #1 since 4/10, Dx: MFI IVF planned for April/May
Oh, I forgot one!
#3 - Stupid people. By that I mean when people say dumb things consistantly, or aren't aware of the world around them or don't seem to know things are basic knowledge to everyone else in the world. An example is a guy in my office that thinks we fought the Spanish in the Revolutionalry War.
1. People who slurp their soup...
2. People who brag about how much money they make, i.e., my friend who went to college for 2 years always compare herself to someone who went to college for 4 years. Drives me nuts!!
3. People who rev their engines or squeal tires as they pull away from stoplights. Yeah you're cool....NOT!
4. Dirty toilet seats. Seriously can you not look at the seat after you've gotten up from it and just wipe it off!
5. People who don't pick up after their dogs. Makes me wonder what their backyard looks like if they don't care to pick up in public places....
Oh I could go on for days.....I have a lot!!

1. People who drive slow in the left lane.
2. 18 wheeler drivers who tailgate you.
3. People who automatically think my name is spelled with an H. It's Nicole not Nichole.
4. And Dasmel, I'm stealing your number 3.
OH just though of one more...
People who don't pay attention to where they are walking because they are texting or reading. I will not stop for you, if you run into me you'll look like the fool!

A recent (ahem) excursion away from my desk reminded me of one more. When you have an empty restroom with multiple stalls and you pick one toward the end, and then someone who comes in after you chooses the stall right next to yours even though there are like 5 unoccupied ones.

LOL I love reading these! I agree with a bunch of them but here are mine:
1. People who smack their mouth while chewing/chewing w/mouth open/ gum smacking. PUHLEEAZE CLOSE YOUR MOUTH!
2. People who are slobs and don't clean up after themselves. If you make a mess on the countertop, wipe it up- there are towels right there! (work, not home) Or put your crap away where I don't have to look at it.
3. Tnickel- yes slow drivers in the left lane!!
4. People who complain when they have no idea how easy their site is (in regards to what they're complaining about) compared to other people doing the same job at a different site.
5. People who don't take responsibility but their whole JOB is being responsible. Why be a manager if you don't want to be responsible for other people?
