- My "boss" - chomps on gum ALL day, listens to a terrible oldies station that repeats the same songs LITERALLY 8-10 times in 8 hours!, farts like no one else I have ever seen (smelled?) whistles to songs on the terrible oldies station because even after hearing the same song 50 times in a week he doesn't know the words, AND EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT HIM !





- People who go straight in left turn lanes and honk and flip YOU off when you don't let them in - especially at the intersection of routes 23 and 322 in Blue Ball, PA]



- DEVELOPMENT



- Stupid people who live in the gigantic yuppie compound, err, development behind the dealership I work at who come in when we get flurries to "just get their 4wd checked out" (6 people one day last week with 3" of snow!)



- greedy farmers selling land for $100,000/acre to developers



- people who smoke that see someone with a tin of skoal that say "eeeww, how can you put the greasy stuff in your mouth" as they hack up a lung for the fifth time in 10 minutes



- old people that find it VERY necessary to drive 35 mph in 45 mph non-passing zones and 65 mph in 35 mph passing zones on the same road



- chevrolet venture vans, and their predecessor the dustbuster lumina apv van



- untrained line officers in my fire company, I have more friggin training than all but the chief!



- people who can't spell and choose not to use spell check in different applications





errr, lots of things irritate me

that's it for now

Lia is my peeve

Radio Lia and her country top 40, commercial filled, country star worshipping, man hating national radio show.



I drive truck nights thru WA and every station along the 500 mile route plays her so they don't have to hire a DJ. I don't care anymore what Alan Jackson is eating for dinner or what underwear Tracy Byrd wears Play some music!



Hopefully an XM tuner for XMas will fix her.

My WORST pet peeve!

Bad sex. (Never had any, but it would pi$$ me off if I did get some. )

 

[QRTRHRS]

Able bodied people that park in fire lanes.



People who stand in the middle of a hallway talking instead of off to the side.



People who stop in the middle of a shopping aisle of a busy store. Especially Wal-Mart stores with their narrow aisles.



Roots! How did they become so fashionable? Besides, I'll take a brunette anyday.



Media people who think they can get away with conversing about anything and everything even if they haven't a clue.



Media people who lend get involved with causes but have absolutely no credentials to back up their retoric.



"New Country". It "ain't" country, it "ain't" pop, it's glop.



Next?

Bowflex commercials

 

[klenger]

People who park in the fire lane to buy beer (or whatever) at the liquor store, when there is a parking spot 20' away.

Most of the above are irritants for sure. I agree with most of them.

My biggest pet peeve is that the state I live in seems to like to use the PD as a revenue generating operation moreso than a LE organization. I just can't stand it.

Stupid laws are another one that this state is good for. I mean c'mon. Someone actually legislated that you cannot swear on the phone. Not to mention that it has actually been prosecuted?! As soon as I have the house taken care of I'm gone!!!

Gee, you mean like all the "Red Light Cameras" we have now?

Just announced, coming to a street near you... ... "Speed Cameras"... . OH Joy!

Local LE just had to void 2,000+ Speed Camera tickets after it discovered that the radar was set 5 mph under the posted speed limit. .



Oh Boy do I feel safe now!

 

[Royk]

Hearing the overused, non-word "irregardless". Its REGARDLESS!



People at work who spit their chew into wastepaper baskets, or into paper cups that they conveniently leave laying around all over the place.



Just as you approach the beginning of a loonngg, steep grade and you're behind a couple of semis going 45 mph, the rear one pulls out and passes at 45. 001 mph!

In heavy traffic I seem to be sought out by someone that cannot possibly leave an extra inch between them and me, you know the type where you can only see the top of the car and none of the windshield. I usually jam up the brakes, or what is more fun is to lead them off into the ditch/median. They cannot see anything but the back of the truck so they follow it, start turning off into the ditch or median and turn back at the last second. If there is snow a lot of times they will get sucked in and spin. Seeing them rub the whole side of the car on the guardrail is funny too.

Wow! What a great idea! Can't wait to try this one. :-laf

Stupid people…the ones that can’t find their arse with a road and mirror.





1. People that don’t make sure they have price tags on merchandise. They hold up the checkout line while someone runs for a price check.



2. People in line at their favorites fast food place that don’t know what to order.



3. My boss…he highered a consultant firm to evaluate my work or project ideas and fired them because they agree with me. Then hires another consultant firm……



4. Some mentioned late people, have to agree. These are more stupid people and my wife is one of them. She is at least an hour late for everything, including the wedding day. Sad part was it was held in our backyard.

 

[muddyboots]

Cashiers who first give you the bills and then balance the coins on top. Especially annoying at drive-thru windows so when you drop the coins they hit the pavement. This seems to happen most often in Southern California.

 

[Royk]

The person(s) ahead of you in the checkout line that need to pay with a credit card or check for $5 worth of merchandise.

Pet Peeve

Anyone who tries to tell me what to eat or not to eat, 'for my own good'.



Twenty somethings who've never been exposed to a dangerous toy and therefore don't believe anything in the world could hurt them.



Being unable to reach the ATM because of the protective posts surrounding it so I have to sit on the windowsill of my car to use it. Stop car, engage brake, put in neutral, remove seat belt. Perch. Use ATM. Reverse process. Drive away.



Websites that don't work. Especially sites with conflicting directions and broken links.



Cashiers who call the manager when you give them a penny after they entered the the amount tendered because they can't figure your change.

I agree. Life's too short to count calories. Just be careful and don't eat too much junk. It's really not too hard.

 

[klenger]

Having to work to pay for all my toys.

 

[MCummings]

ANother peeve.



People who have no respect for others people stuff!!!

They are the ones who touch anything and everything, and want to "borrow" your stuff, then treat it like trash.
