Pet Peeves

[Jasman0717 9]

People who call you and demand, "Who's this?"

"Junk" phone calls

Stopped up plumbing

Mold and mildew

Sweating - I'm guilty

Getting up early - I love getting up early

Alarm clocks

Preapproved credit card applications sent to people under bankruptcy

Roaches

Mosquito bites

Tape that sticks to everything except what you want it to

Celibacy

Being single by circumstance

Sacred cows

"Repairman's crack"

Weeds

Long waits in "fast food" drive-thru lines. EVEN WORSE: Getting home and discovering your order is wrong or incomplete

People who go into a 10 items or less line with a fully loaded grocery cart.

Pricing items at 3.99, 4.99, etc. It's not fooling anyone.

Pricing gasoline with nine-tenths of a cent in the price. I'd like to give them a penny with a sliver cut out of it as partial payment for a gallon of gas!!!!

The grocery clerk who puts the receipt in your hand, along with your change. I don't want to fumble separating it from my money, nor do I want to put it in my wallet or hold it.

Shorts that ride up on the insides of your thighs as you walk

Underwear with worn out elastic that keeps slipping down your hips as you walk

The way your nose begins to itch when you can't scratch...while washing dishes,etc

Your nose starts running when you have no access to a tissue

Confused shoppers who block store aisles while they make up their minds

The fact that the worst pro baseball and football players will make more each year than the best teachers and nurses.

EVEN WORSE: When such sport figures go on strike to get even more money

Blind conformity

Paper cuts

Hangnails

Copiers that jam

Smudged eyeglasses

Wearing glasses in the rain

Glasses that fog up when you go outside from an airconditioned car or building

Door to door evangelizing

Practices that exist long after the reasons for them no longer do, because "that's the way we've always done it."

People who expect to always hear, "Fine" as an answer to the question, "How are you?". If you don't want to know, then just say "Hello" instead.

Contrived spellings for common names....Krystle for Crystal, etc. I especially hate when someone adds an "e" to a name ending in "y" as in "Bobbye", "Cindye", "Nancye", etc.

Doing something simply because "everyone else does it."

When naming their child, people who give no thought as to how the name will sound with their surname. For example: ####### Hertz, Hugh Jass, Mike Hunt, etc.

Dress codes

Dogs who drool on you

Small dogs that hump your leg

People who think the word "family" is a synonym for "censorship".

Prostitution (and other victimless crimes) being illegal.

People who think day care and flexible job schedules are "women's" issues. Don't men have children? These are family issues.

Non-fiction books without indexes

Fiction books without a summary of the plot on the back or flyleaf.

Getting stuck in an endless labyrinth of phone menus when calling a business. "If you are calling from a touch tone phone, press 1"......etc.

Heartburn

Having no money when you finally see an item you've been looking to buy for a long time

Job hunting

People who promise to return your phone calls and never do

"Get rich quick" pyramid schemes

People who think that being a good father is just providing money and leaving everything else to the mother

Men who refer to caring for their own children as "babysitting"

People love to blame something or someone else for their own lapses of responsibility. A very sad and tragic story: A man was suing a lawn dart company cause one went through his son's head while he was playing with it. Could the man not have looked at the lawn dart and said "Ooh! Sharp and pointy! Dangerous!" Does the box really need to say this? Apparently so.

Getting cut off on people's answering machines

Prejudice

People who hang up on answering machines. If you're not going to leave a message, for heaven's sake HANG UP before it starts recording!

Fat women in white stretch pants with no underwear

Someone with abundance telling me "money doesn't buy happiness"

Know-it-alls who are always correcting others

Tourists

People who pee on the toilet seat.

Office use of the phrase 'touch base'.

People who say 'like' every 4 words.

Drivers who don't indicate.

People who work on Capitol Hill, and all their progeny

Frizzy hair, and static in the winter

Gunners (in the law school sense)

Roller shoes

my sister's lame ### boyfriend

Cleaning the bath

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

people who get jobs because of who their father is

[Jasman0717 9]
