Your Personal "Pet Peeves"....

[xfreeper]

How they go out in public is their business. I'm just not interested in a lot of skin contact with strangers

[massadvj]

I have a few pet peeves, but the one I will mention first is elitist, know-it-all, smarmy women typified by Elizabeth Warren.  Being a college prof, I have to work with women like this on a regular basis and they just drive me batty sometimes.  It's as if they have no reasoning capabilities whatsoever.  Everything they say say is regurgitated, vacuous platitudes.

Believe me! I KNOW what you are talking about!

But is isn't only women!

"How do you write women so well?"

"I think of a man and I subtract reason and accountability!"

Hey!  I resemble that remark!

You're an exceptional exception, dear.

You are a wise man.

People who interrupt you when you're in the middle of a task.

[mountaineer]

People who drive below the speed limit when the road is wide open and those behind have no chance to pass (this happens a lot on the winding country roads near our home).

Bad grammar and spelling; the excessive use of capital letters and exclamation points in online comments.  YOUR IGNORENT IF YOU DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

People who have the floor and then don't get to the point, instead peppering their remarks with so many "y'knows" and "ums" that the listeners lose track of the subject.  This also relates to people at meetings who go off-topic and waste everyone's time. Few meetings should go longer than one hour, but all the chit-chat makes them stretch on and on interminably. (Church committee meetings come to mind).

People in stores who park their carts in the middle of aisles while they ponder their selections or engage in lengthy conversations with other people. This is commonplace in our small town, where it's impossible to go to Kroger without running into someone you know. Chit chat ensues.

Dishonesty of any type.

Smug self-righteousness, usually accompanied by sweeping baseless generalizations.

Hmmm.  I wonder how you must like the current POTUS?

LOL!  Mountaineer....grouped together like that, they're not pet peeves.   That's what we call "life"!

Actually, I was thinking of the president of Mr. M's college as well as the Big Zero. Narcissistic, dishonest peas in a pod.

People who come up with snarky responses, especially when the response is one I wish I had made.

1. is the "ugh". Everything is ugh. It is not an emergency, it is Ugh-mergency. it is not immediate, it is ugh-mediate. I hear this on the radio all the time. Every single word that starts with a vowel becomes 'ugh'. Drives me crazy. I actually applaud when I hear someone say the word right, which is very rare.
 
2. How about the guy who pulls into the Left land at a red stop light. So we all sit through the red light together until it turn green. And as soon as the light turns green, he puts on his left turn signal. What the hell is wrong with you? Couldn't you have let me know you were turning Left? Now I am stuck through another light waiting for this guy to turn because everyone with any sense is in the right lane, where I would have been had I known, and passing me. AAAAAAArrrgh!

Listening to the news this week. Apparently ugh-legal aliens is an ugh-motional argument. It is all just one big ex-spearmint. We are done as a country. 75% of Americans can't even speak English. Where do we go from here, except into the toilet.

[jmyrlefuller]

Single women.

But that's a LONG story!

I refuse to adopt any pet whose name rhymes with Jeeves!
