What's your pet peeve(s)?

We have a lot of Wiccan around here, they run around naked in the forests on the solstice.

People who don’t clear the snow off their cars in winter. I’ve seen people driving along with less than a square foot of snow cleared right in front of them, while the rest of the windows remain covered. Meanwhile the snow on their roof was blowing onto the car behind them. And with no lights on.

And of course, using “it’s” as a possessive. I’m surprised they don’t also use “hi’s”.

And then there are the people who recline their seats back all the way on a plane. One woman’s head was all the way into my lap. I asked her to turn her head so she could suck my dick.

Twice a year for about a week each. Then there’s the equinoxes, which are equally annoying.

Co-workers who send emails with no subject line.

Back when I had a dog that needed a walk every day, my pet peeve was homeowners who cleared the snow from their driveways but NOT their sidewalks (despite a city ordinance requiring it). Interestingly, the worst offenders were the people with the biggest and most expensive houses.

It drives me crazy when I am in a room which is not quiet (TV on, other people talking) and a person decides to speak to me, and the whole time they are talking they face a different direction and speak in a low voice. I cannot hear a word they said. I am then forced to say “What? Could you repeat that?” Naturally they do the same thing again, so I am clueless about what they’ve said… again! I hate this because at some point these people will usually come close to me and question me about my possibly needing a hearing aid. No I don’t need a hearing aid! Look in my direction when you’re speaking to me, then maybe I’ll hear you!

They have longer sidewalks.

Hey! :cool:

On a related note, drivers in front of me who don’t realize that I should see their turn signal before I see their brake lights.

An astonishing number haven’t figured it out. They’re the ones who think that the word “sundown” in the headlights law means “pitch black”.

If you have something important to tell me, like giving me instructions at work, please say my name and make sure you have my attention, instead of rattling off your instructions and finishing with, “Okay, Rik?” Given the ambient noise in my workplace, I’m going to hear, “Blah blah blah blah blah Rik”.

Peeves of mine:

People opening a new box or case of something and only opening one flap, just enough that they can remove the one unit that will fit through the opening.

People opening bags of food at the wrong end. Especially if they don’t then seal it in some manner. My best example of this was the time I grabbed what turned out to be a partial bag of shredded cheese from a shelf in the walk-in cooler, then watched in dismay as nearly five pounds of cheese was instantly dumped onto the floor.

Adult children of aging parents that have very strong feelings about NOT helping their sibling(s) with caregiving, doctors’ appointments, grocery shopping, etc. for their aging parents, yet paradoxically, these same non-helping sibling(s) have very strong feelings about getting their “fair” share of the inheritance. I’m referring to adult children of aging parents that live in or near the area where their aging parents live, and who clearly have the time to help, but refuse.

Commercials on the radio that use honking or ambulance sounds. There ought to be a law…

when I send a woman a message on a dating site and she responds to a compliment with thank you and nothing else instead of just ignoring the message since I am not her type:smack:

Perhaps you’d be happier on a planet with no seasons.

Because those are the people who pay someone to plow their driveways. It’s easier to shovel your sidewalk while you’re already out shoveling your driveway.

Oh god, yes. This is one of the few cases where I agree, there ought to be a law!

You’d rather that she ignore you, rather than acknowledging the compliment?

what’s the point of responding back if there is no interest? When unattractive women send me a message I always ignore them and delete the message.

So if a plain woman said something nice to you in real life, would you just stare at them without saying anything?

Not plain but if she was ugly I may not say shit

Sloppy onscreen technical errors.

“Oh, sure, yes, very deep themes about cultural assimilation, and the inhumanity of ma—oh, for pete’s sake, that helmet design wasn’t fielded until 2003! You pretentious twit movie!”

That’s real class, man.

this might go a long way to explain why you are single.

I;m single because I prefer it that way right now so I can focus on my bank account and my health.
