I can see this turning into a rather humorous thread, given the right responses. It's what's so great about the org. Anyway, what are some of your pet peeves?

Some of mine:

When people touch me without warning. If you know me, you have to know me really well to touch me, and even then I better not be armed. If you don't know me, you better not touch me at all, permission or not. It's rather weird, but...it annoys me to be touched randomly by even people I know.

When the last person in the bathroom doesn't replace the roll of toilet paper. Makes me crazy.

When you disagree with someone and they try to hammer it into your brain that they're right. No one's right with opinions, it's so amusing to me that people think there's a right or wrong opinion.

People who play their music in their car so loud that the street vibrates.

People with too much perfume/cologne. Makes me wonder what they're trying to cover up...

Anyone else have any?

The way Australians and New Zealanders Dance.

It's so...so....oh what's the word...


dorky!

Liberals
Democrats
Greens
Commies
Hippies
Woman who don't know their place
Minority groups
Screw cap wines
Bears
CNN

oh the list goes on forever...

When i'm trying to go to sleep and the clock is ticking. When people slam doors. it drives me crazy. and when people act phoney.

you seem a tad uptight, if you dont mind me saying.

People who think women HAVE a place.

Why am I getting singled out for this?
There are plenty of folks who are just as bad!

Oh, I completely forgot this one.

Once I was watching a movie and these two teenaged girls were sitting behind me whispering about how fabulous it was and gasping...you know, the whole bit. They sounded enthralled. At the end of the movie, they got up and went, "That sucked."

The moral of this story is, if you wish to live, don't sit behind me in a movie theater, make it obvious you love the movie, and then say it sucked.

Spiders, rude people, M. Bison.

that reminds me of this one time my husband and i were at the movie theater, and these two girls behind us kept talking. i was so proud of him - he turned around and said "watch the movie or get the fuck out of here!"

i love that man!

the vibrating car stereos and the too-much-perfume people are way up there on my list...especially when people wear too much perfume/cologne at the gym. that makes absolutely NO sense to me. when you exercise, you gotta breathe clean air. why would anyone want their lungs full of eau de doo dah day?

but my BIGGEST pet peeve is people who are slow and in the way. it's one thing to be slow. fine. you're tired, maybe you aren't able to move quickly for whatever reason. it's cool. but if you're in public, WATCH YOUR BACK. your slowness isn't my problem!!!

You know those people who ask you for your opinion, and then you're honest with them? Then they keep asking you the question in hopes you'll answer the way they want....those people are among my pet peeves as well.

Basically any talking in movie theaters...I understand a laugh or something, but it's disruptive to just keep flapping your lips.

People who pick their nose. Pick n flick or pick n eat, it's disgusting

Imago said:

oh, i forgot one... people who rely on spell checkers. don't they know that they only work part of the time?

You'd make a horrible date!

Protege said:

i love it when people in the audience "predict" something out loud that is obviously going to happen. "look, see? he's going in the phone booth. he's gonna turn into superman." YA THINK?!?!

I know I would make a horrible date at a movie. I don't like movies as dates though, because frequently people think that's all there should be. A movie, oh wasn't that nice? Let's go home. Nope. Now, a movie, and then dinner to talk about the movie is good. Because movie discussions frequently bring up other subjects, which is really interesting.

And the predicting crap drives me insane too...there are so many things that drive me insane at movies. Oh yeah, and hurling popcorn at people's heads. But if I do it, that's all right, because I do it when people talk and drive me crazy. .

My brother hugging me or patting me on the head. It's just wrong.

Friends who I have to call or I'd never hear from them again.\

Cilantro.

Ice water at restaraunts. Leave the fuckin' lemon out!

McDonald's Rants

McDonald's drive thru menu not listing all the items I ordered. I do not trust the highly incompetent staff to get my order right, so the screen should list everything.

Fast food places not giving you ketchup if you order fries. And being stingy with it when you ask(two ketchup packets doesn't cover a large fries). This is still America, isn't it?

Drink sizes at McDonald's changing when it involves orange juice. A large orange juice should be the same size as a large Coke. Conversely, a small orange juice shouldn't be the same size as the rinse cup at the dentist.
