whats peoples pet peeves

Northern_Princess

I have a few:-

Bad timekeeping.
Children eating goods in supermarkets before they are purchased at the checkout.
People who chew their food with their mouths open.
People who do not say please or thank you.
People who think it's ok to feed my horses when they are in the field despite numerous notices asking not to.
People who think it's ok to let their little cherubs run full speed when I'm out riding to "pat the nice horse" :eek:
People who choose to ride on public roads and never go back to collect any poo their horse has left. You pick up dog mess so why should horses be different?
Work colleagues who sit on the internet looking at holidays/reading the news in their lunch breaks for 45 minutes but only put 30 minutes on their time sheet to bump up their flexi time.
People not putting their knife and fork together when they finish eating.

Yup, this really gets on my wick too. My OH and I are forever having fights about it! I have just learnt to accept that he will never be on time now.

If he's usually an hour late, tell him to meet you an hour earlier than you actually need him there. Then he'll be on time.

And, if you're lucky, once or twice he will show up at the right time, and be left waiting for you. Giving you the opportunity to agree with him about how annoying it is, but also reminding him that he's done it to you so many times before.

Sounds petty, but it was the only approach that worked with a good friend of mine. She's still not great, but is now much, much, much better than she used to be. Now she tends to be only 10-15 mins late sometimes, and the rest of the time she is on time!

Here are some of mine

People who rest their arms on the table when when eating. So instead of bringing the food to their mouths they duck their head down to the food, It looks so slovenly.

People who eat with their mouths open and slurp and gulp their drinks.

People who eat food walking down the street.

Great fat people heaving themselves out of their obviously paid for DLA vehicle in Supermarket disabled car parking spaces. Who then waddle in to the said supermarket to fill their trolleys with more fattening crap
.
People who write Yup.

People who say "amount of people" or "amount of times" instead of "number of people" or "number of times"

people who use the "card only" pumps at petrol stations - then get out to go pay in the shop GGGRR

People not putting trolleys away in the supermarket, especially when they leave them randomly at the entrance of the trolley bay! Do you really not have another 2 seconds to put them actually in the bay!

Apostrophe misuse - I can accept some of the rules may be confusing, but I cannot abide shop/market stall/website signs saying stuff like banana's, winner's, Tuesday's etc. I often avoid using the businesses as it annoys me too much.

Another one who hates should of, would of etc, I have no idea where that came from.

People who say 'like' every third word, really no need and makes you sound really simple.

Following on from Mimi's post, I'm regularly irritated by people in wheelchairs/mobility scooters (especially scooters, I'm sure 3/4 of people on those are just lazy b******s) travelling too fast along the pavement and expecting everyone else (even those walking ahead of them with their backs to them) to get out of their way.

If they want the priviledges of able-bodied people they should show the manners too. Someone on foot wouldn't run along the pavement and straight into other (often unsuspecting) people.

Sorry, priviledges of able bodied - I didn't realise they were second class citizens being given priviledges such as being able to get down the same street as you.

Perhaps you would like some of their priviledges - being in severe constant pain every minute of every day to name one. Do not generalise about being lazy people. At the age of 24 being in a scooter is the last thing my daughter wants to be seen in but she doesn't have a choice.

Rude old people. Some old people seem to have general shockingly bad attitudes and really seem to frown on anyone below the age of 60. They are the new yobbos I tell you. Over the past month, in two seperate incidents, my son has been screamed at by an elderly woman at a bus stop, and I have been verbally abused in a supermarket by an old woman. They think they can say and do whatever they want - then blame the younger person. Some of them are vile

My pet peeves:

Random strangers commenting on my parenting skills. I do not really care that little Tarquin was potty trained at 18 months, my little boy will do it when he is ready.

My sister in law (to be) thinking that she is the first ever woman to have a baby.

When in a shopping centre I stop to look in a window and someone walks into me - if you weren't so far up my backside in the first place then you would have seen me stop!

People who stand and watch people struggle to open a door when they have a pram/wheelchair or are elderly. A little common decency! OR when you hold the door open for someone and they do not say thank you!!

People who write things but begin Every Word With A Capital Letter - I mean really?

People who use predictive text but do not read what they have typed. Interesting reading at times.

A lot more but my main pet peeve is this. I work in a call centre and hate being called sweetheart, love, duck, hen, buddy, mate etc.
