Pet Peeves

When servers don't write my order down.

When servers tell you their name and that they're there to help you out tonight. Duh. And I won't be calling you by name.

Oh seriously. But also: when servers sit in your booth with you to take your order. Gross.

My overall list is long and distinguished:

Missouri tax.....They say it's cheap to live in the midwest? Sales tax is 7.5%

Icey, sleat covered roads, yet people still speed like maniacs.. no wonder there were so many wrecks today.

Customer service people from he!!, can't they find a job as an executioner?

That is the recap for today only.

On the good side, when my wife got her new cell phone, they waived the BS mail in rebate. T-Mobile rocks!!!

Does this happen at Chili's nationwide or just every single one I've ever been to from Hawaii to NewYork?

Hahaha it has been my experience in The Cheesecake Factory among other chains that they do this. One waitress started kvetching about how tired she was and how early she had to be in to work the next morning for training! Hilaire.

Elderly people who consider the grocery store a social meeting place and stand chatting, with their carts completely blocking the aisles. They SEE you come up behind them and keep right on talking. They ignore a polite "excuse me" and keep right on talking. At this point, my husband whispers to me, "Don't you dare hit them with the cart."

When your on the phone with someone and they have a hard piece of candy in their mouth and you can hear it clicking on their teeth.

When someone takes a drink of something and slurps.

A dirty house and tardiness. I literally have to tell my husband that we must be somewhere an hour earlier just so we can get there on time.

When people chew food with their mouth open.

i have OCD about clutter, so when someone throws things in piles or clutter, i like freak out and clean it, even if its not my home

Hmm, er . . would you like to come and visit with us sometime? ( )

1) Dragging feet while walking

2) Chewing with mouth open

3) Talking on the cell phone while driving

4) Imports with that stupid lawnmower sound from the muffler. (Give me a break, it is only a 4 cylinder engine)

5) Staring...I just hate when people stare.

PET PEEVES

When customers come in the store and I say 'Welcome to ........' and they are on their bluetooth phone having a conversation.

When women pull dollars out of their bra

When hubby balls up his dirty socks (honey why do you think I want to stick my fingers in there on laundry day?)

When my car needs gas and it is 25 degrees and snowing

When I JUST finish shoveling out the driveway and a hugeazz plow puts a ton of snow right back into it.

When the old guy that sits across from me at work actually takes his shoes and socks off and clips his freakin' toenails into the trash basket at work.

One of my BIG pet peeves is: when my husband leaves his dirty clothes (esp. socks) in the hamper INSIDE OUT. OMG, I want to slap him when he does this. My feeling is, 1) He's never in SUCH a rush that he can't take the 3 extra seconds that are needed to take dirty clothes off in the right way 2) I'm good enough to do the laundry, he can at least be courteous enough not to make me reach my hands into his dirty, sweaty, smelly socks to turn them the right way I also hate it when he takes his clothes off and just throws them on the floor, inside out, of course. !!!

Another big pet peeve is anytime uneaten food is left lying around on the plate. Even if you don't actually want to WASH the plate yourself, at least don't let food hopelessly stick to it so the person who does eventually wash the dish has to get out the brillo and scrape residue off.

And finally, and I think I've mentioned this on another pet-peeve thread, but... older women who wear clothes marketed and geared toward high school students. It never makes them look younger or prettier; it's just makes them seem detached from reality. Older women can look so nice (oftentimes much better than their younger counterparts), but since only a few young girls and women really look good in bellyshirts, older women look even worse.
