QOTD

What is your biggest pet peeve?

Re: QOTD

  • Having to rely on other people for things, then they mess something up, and I look bad as a result.  This is such a universal thing for me.  A big offender are people who carpool with me and pick me up late, and then we are late for wherever we're going.  Goshdarnit people, if I were driving, we'd be on time!
  • Incorrect use of aphostrophes or bad grammar in general drive me crazy.  I am by no means perfect, but sometimes I wonder about people.
  • Not sure if its my biggest or not, but I hate it when people use michigan lefts as if they were two lanes.  If there are no lines, it's only one lane, and you're pretty much just cutting off a whole bunch of people.

    This reminded me of another one.  Inappropriate use of quotation marks.  One of our HR reps is horrible about this.  For example: Please join us to "say goodbye" to <an employee> as its their "last day".  We'll have cake and ice cream in the "lunch room".

    Drives me nuts.

    That would drive me crazy too!  It reminds me of the Friends episode where Joey doesn't know how to use air quotes.  :)

    THIS!  In my office it it me and two other ladies.  When either one of them finish the roll neither of them replace it.  And its not like it is that hard, the toilet paper is sitting right next to the toilet.  All you have to do is take it out of the packaging and put the new roll on!

  • Currently, strangers not respecting personal space.  Like standing at the cash register to pay for a coffee and the next person is pretty much humping my back just itching to order. 

    In addition to that, not waiting till the other person has left said cash register before they walk up to order.  I mean, I just got my change back and my coffee, give me two seconds to walk away!

  • Driving in general is probably my biggest pet peeve.  From not signaling, to people who run red lights/turn after the light is red, etc.....I'd have lower blood pressure if I didn't have to drive. Surprise

    LOL... that is hilarious.  I completely agree though.  I hate being rushed after I make a purchase to throw my receipt/change in my purse and just get away from the counter.  I usually purposely take longer if someone is rushing me.

    I wish I could!  Marcin is out of town, so Loki would be "locked up" all day.  Since it rained all evening yesterday, I have to take him on a major walk . . .

    lol!  When I'm grocery shopping I leave my cart behind me in line until I'm ready to leave. Even when loading up the cart and paying.  This forces people to stay a cart length away from me and the credit card machine.  It drives some people nuts. You can just see them getting more and more antsy because they can't get closer. WTH do they want to be so close for?  Your order will not start being rung up until mine is done. And if by chance the cashier rings up one or two of your items before you are in his/her face, you will live.  People suck.

    I recently had this happen to me at a Redbox.  I mean, seriously?!  Why in the world do you have to be practically on top of me while I enter my email address and get my movie?  It ended up making feel protective of my information, even though it was just an email address.  I was *this close* to turning and saying "can I help you with something?!"
