Feeling a little "Peevy?"
I was thinking how there is always some little "thing (or things)" that for whatever reason just melts your butter...but sometimes no reason is required...Here are a few of mine!
1. Don't interrupt me and say that you "know just what I was about to say"...Nine times out of Ten, you really don't!
2. People who rush to jump in front of you on the road, only to slow down and drive 25 mph once they get there...
3. Water on the kitchen sink backdrop...just seeing it bugs me!
4. Overly chatty co-workers...(Does my staring at the screen, picking up the phone, and suddenly feverishly typing not tell you anything???)
5. Political shows of any kind these days. I'm tired of the finger pointing, name calling and attention mongering. No one side has all of the answers. It peeves me how in the rush to be "right", most have forgotten that we need to stand together to make it through this mess...even if it means listening to another point of view every now and again...
Well, those are a few of mine...anyone else "feelin' a little peevy?"
Re: Feeling a little "Peevy?"
1. Peeved that I forgot to have DH sign paperwork this weekend.
2. I'm not the receptionist. WHY do I get the phone calls directed at my line when people don't know who they want to talk to. And BTW if I transfer you and someone isn't at their desk, don't call me back I can't make them magically appear!!! There is this newfangled thing called voice mail. You talk then they listen and call you back. Its pretty fancy.
3. Why does DH's mom want to help us move. Just because my mom is helping us move doesn't mean she has to also. My mom has a job. Clean and set-up my kitchen. She's great at that! She knows where things go because well I used her kitchen for 26 years so that worked for me. Plus if I get snippy my mom just ignores me. I don't want to have to babysit his mom and be on my best behavior.
4. I'm peeved that my house won't clean itself.....is that so wrong?!?!?
Hahaha!
When MH turns the tv waaay up
My BILs constantly getting favored because they live close to my ILs
When my ribbon rack is a mess and the ribbons are falling off the spools
1. Incorrect usage of grammar
2. Failure to use signals
3. Cars who turn into the street right in front of me when there's NO ONE behind me
4. Bad parking jobs
5. People who stop to talk or look around right at the bottom of an escalator... please get out of the way!
6. When my coworker who smokes does so right before I have to be confined with his super stinky self at a meeting... blech!
7. People who try to get into an elevator (or through a doorway) before letting out those who are inside.

People who just stop walking suddenly, without realizing that someone might be behind them
Married couples (or couples living together) who communicate on their Facebook walls.
Adults who cough or sneeze without covering their mouth
Pretty much anyone in a car, anywhere, any time of day (I have no patience)
Love it!
1. People that walk slowly
2. Distracted drivers who don't pay attention to their surroundings (also CA drivers in general)
3. People who don't step outside to talk/gossip on the phone at work
4. People who talk down to other people
5. People that text when they walk, bike, drive, etc

LOL! Sounds like you might need some therapy for this

90% of the people at Walmart, I swear I'm only shopping at Target from now on!
People who don't know that the right lane on the freeway is for slower traffic and the left lane is supposed to be for faster traffic to pass...so get the H@&% over!
People who get in the 10 items or less aisle and have well over 10 items.
HAHA!! I know, it's pretty bad. I need to work on this!!
I really don't even know where to start... Many of you have some similar ones...
For one, laziness drives me crazy.
Students or adults who want to talk to me when it IS CLEAR that I am really busy.
Those are probably my biggest... I have plenty more.
Danielle
Yup, you must be from CA, this drives me nuts!!! And CA drivers are the WORST at this!

Lately I feel like everything is making me peevy.
Return policies for stores. I understand you have a 90 day policy. But we bought something for DH's mom and now that she has passed away, we obviously don't need it anymore. Are you sure there's nothing you can do about this???
Franchisees - I'm sorry, you signed up for a certain brand because you want to have a store people would recognize. Just because you don't like the floor problem, you don't get to change it. If you wanted to pick your own floor tile, start your own yogurt store!
1.- Stupid people like th dumb a$$ in my office that thought we fought the SPANISH in the Revolutionary War! No, I'm not kidding.
2.- DH's ex-wife (mother to my wonderful SD) She is a lying, Bat-Sh!t-Crazy, B!tch and I just wish see would go away - forever! ::Ggrrr, Snarl::
3.- Dh's Ex-wife (mother to my wonderful SD - wait, I know I already said this one but I CAN"T STAND HER!!!!! She deserves a second mention.
4.- Slow Drivers in the left lane
5.- The DMV.
6.- When non-boss people try to boss me around.
- I have more driving pet peeves than the Nest has server space, so I'll just go with my biggest - when people are in the left lane going exactly the same speed as cars in the right lane.
- I hate loud music and the sound of bass thumping, whether it's from someone's car or the apartment above ours.
- People who stop in the middle of the sidewalk, grocery aisle, etc. in such a way that no one can get past them. Double peeve points if they are on their cell phone or have a baby stroller blocking the way.
- In a communal bathroom when there are multiple stalls open but someone takes the one right next to the one I'm in.
- On a similar note, people who stand in the bathroom at work having conversations for several minutes.
