what is/are your PET PEEVE(s)?

azilana7037's picture

Cell phones? Jay walking ? Pencil chewing ? What is that (little)thing people do that just irritates you ?

Let's start with:

- When you bump into someone or step on their toe and say "excuse me" in a polite manner and they STILL give you dirty looks -- hey, it was an accident!

- Walking into an expensive clothing shop and having a snooty looking "sales consultant" look you up and down, and then say "I'm sorry, I don't think we have your size." Like a size 12 is really enormous!

-Telling someone you have a cold or flu and they say "stay away from me!" Not only is this rude and insensitive, it's not like you have the plague or something.

-People with dirty nails, if their nails are not clean what else isn't.

Anything else you folks would like to add???

1. people who go straight to the front line even there's a long queue

2.people who take long phone calls talking nonsense in a public phone (you usually take the public phone during emergency cases)

3. people who are very undecided with their orders and take too long with the crew..why cant they step back and decide?

someonenew said Inconsiderate people ...

I get really bugged with people I know being inconsiderate. I dont expect a lot from people I dont know but when my neighbour parks his car in a way which is highly impossible for me to park without getting my car scratched, when i'm just getting back home from work tired and hungry hubby making a fuss abt some pervert calling me in the night(no fault of mine) Mom calling and bitchin abt her neighbours daughter when i'm in a meeting. Friends taking books, losing them and then not bothering to admit it. I know trivial but extremly irritating.

I dream of a better tomorrow where Chickens can cross the Road without having their motives questioned - Unknown

RED_POPE said Pet peeves... ...

I know for fact that some particular QL'R, would love for me to shut up for good. Unfortunately is not going to happen any time soon, or hell will freeze over first.
Should I wear my towel over my face, or just continue with my sarcasm over Pet peeves?

I got one pet peeves: It is a sore view for a beautiful young woman that is always wearing the same blouse one week after another, specially those " blouses made in polyester with print geometric designs".

i got dizzy watching them or she is just dizzy?

azilana7037's picture

azilana7037 said another pet peeve of mine ...

when someone gives an UNSOLICITED opinion/advise...

when people ASSUME THEY KNOW EVERYTHING/EVERYONE...putting their 2 feet inside their BIG MOUTH...only shows that the more they talk...the more obvious it becomes that they know less.

when people can't take a HINT/CLUE that their jokes aren't that FUNNY and still continue to do it...PATHETIC, ISN'T IT.

when people stick around when obviously their presence is not wanted....duuuhhh...how thick can you get???

If Controversial is the note of the day, then Disambiguation should be the settlement.

salax85 said other than sex criminals ...

other than sex criminals including homosexuals, paedaphiles and rapists, nothing really bothers me.

nice ... got me thinking... i dont actually get bothered by people behaving odd even towards me. i like to think that everybody has their own right of choice and my likes and dislikes cant be strong enough to judge them.

talking of daily instances, the bisexual behaviour really fux my head... like u know gayish attitude or talks... and ofcourse people discussing about others also fux my head at times but then i let myself to think ok its upto that person to do so let em.

 

Supernurse's picture

Supernurse said lol homosexuals...sex ...

lol homosexuals...sex criminals lol, I take it lesbians are therefore included?...i'm not sure about the 'bi' thing.....I don't care but one either likes one or the other....I think being bi is like the fashionable thing to be (in some places!) whether people actually enjoy the variety is another thing!

you are right sadly... the media effect.. like i said earlier about elton john... so people are slowly considering it to be a fashion and hence spreading over the idea of being bisexual. the real damage to the world society would be real Jackson like fans coming up to make a change. i need to pray for mankind here we go.:

I Pray to Thee o Almighty Save All souls from such Plight For no Feather moves but if Thou Shall will so Shower Thy Mercy for Thou are the most Merciful..... Amen

hey veg, you back? or you bored on vacation?
ok back to topic, i get irritated when in a group/gathering and someone receives a call on the mobile and they have the conversation there and so loud for the whole world to hear, would appreciate it that when they get a call on the phone they go somewhere else to speak on the phone.

life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......

Kareena74 said Road rage ...

I get so infuriated when I am driving at the maximum speed limit and a landcruiser comes behind me so close as if it would bang any moment and then it starts flashing.. Arrrrghhh..
Also I get mad when people do not give an indicator before turning right or left.
I hate it when people are insensitive on the road. Why the hell don't they have road ethics.

 

jango warrior's picture

jango warrior said I hate ...

People who don't get out of their car at restaurants to go and order their fast food and just honk their horn more and more, lazy Qatari gits.

Oh and travelling behind $100,000 dollar cars that still have the plastic on the the seats, what's all that about?

Oh and a queue starts at the back and finishes at the front if any Qatari's don't realise that (not all but some).

Oh and for our Indian and Pakistani friends, in fog use only dipped headlights, hazard warning lights are for when you have had an accident or their is stopped traffic, how do i know which way you are going to go around the round-about, (not that i know in your normal driving either.)

End of rant for now (I actually like living here)
