Got any annoyances? Well, here is the thread to let it all hang out. :)

I'll start:

My pet peeves:

1) Birds whom crap on my windshield while I am driving (happened to me today, in fact)...
2) Little dogs that snap and bark a lot....
3) Bicyclists whom don't obey the rules of the road....
4) Vanilla ice cream
5) People whom drive 80mph when they are behind me and 10mph when they are in front of me...
6) Screaming babies in restaurants and/or airplanes....
7) Stepping in someone else's gum and/or spit....
8) People whom don't flush the toilet in public restrooms....
9) Having a root canal - the real pain coming from paying the bill afterward, of course...
10) People whom think they are funny and aren't (ie: Patting me on my relatively obese stomach and asking, "How's the baby?" - I'm a man and don't find that type of thing the least bit amusing)....

I may think of some more later....

Next. :)
 
People who can't merge on the freeway.

My pet peeve is people who complain endlessly about minor trivial annoyances common to every day life as though they were a big deal...

Those tiny staples Chinese restaurants use to close their take-out cartons. I'm gunna' die swallowing one of those some day.
 
People who park 6 inches away from the side of your car in shopping centers.
 
1) People who say that Obama and Bush are equally bad, then pretend to be moderate/centrist.

2) People spitting in public.

3) Michael Smerconish.

What's wrong with vanilla ice cream? :lol:
 
I'm an ignorant American. I like my beer cold and I don't chug. I don't buy quarts, oil cans, or pitchers. I don't like warm spit beer.

that is why God made 12 oz. bottles.

I remember back in the day beer joints used to have beer on tap and small glasses.
 
I hadn't thought of this until reading Amadeus's post, but people who spit in public are just disgusting.

Tailgaters
People who carry on loud cell conversations in public
Baggers who are too dumb to bag groceries, particularly when the shopper has put all the frozen items together to be rung up
Flip-flops at funerals
 
Traffic jams and places where I cant get a signal on my mobile phone.
 
Folks who will pay far more for a 20 minute haircut session but yet complain about being overcharged for a 1.5 hour effort to maintain (trim, mow and blow) their lawn. ;)
 
Hot dogs are sold in 10 packs yet hot dog rolls are sold in 8 packs, and no I won't just buy 40 of each.

The "economy" size of canned goods costs more per ounce than the "regular" (used to be 16. oz) sized can of the same brand.

You can't find gasoline that does not contain "up to 10%" ethanol - an additive that really screws up many two cycle power tools.
 
Another of my pet peeves is everything being set up to accommodate righthanders. If there are double-doors, why is the left one always the one that is locked? Why do I have to reach my arm across my chest to put the key in my own front door lock? Why are most products' tear-strips on the right only?

When calling someone on the radio at work people will say, for example, "Jerry you got a copy?".

'Copy' means I understood you're previous statment, so if this is your first statment to me, then no I don't 'copy' because you haven't said anything to me yet. This isnt the military so it's ok to just say 'hello Jerry' like many others do.

'Copy' is not something you have, it's something you do, so no one ever 'has a copy', they either copy or they don't.

Some people will end with "over and out". 'Over' means you're expecting their reply and 'out' means you're don with the conversation. So which is it? Over or out? Do you want a reply or is the conversation don?

Adding 'uuuhhh' when they talk on the radio when they're perfectly capable of normal speech.

Asking for my location should sound like this: "Jerry in QC 10-20, over". Not "Hey Jerry you got'a copy"...."yeah uhh what's you're twenty"...."oh uhh are ya buisy"...."ok well uuuhhh we could use your help at <clear across the plant>".

Asking for my location when they have no intention of comming to me. If you want me to come to you then doesn't matter where I am.

Asking me if I'm buisy. Yes, I'm buisy doing my job, always. You might have something which takes priority over what I'm currently doing, and if so I'll stop and go help, but that doesn't mean I'm not buisy.
 
People who call at 2 am leave a message.....and call back and for some reason the machine don't get it so the phone keeps ringing. Forcing one to get up an answer it after just falling to sleep.....only to find out its a recording of someone trying to sell ya home Security System with this really great discount offer, that shows up on a caller ID as private, with no return callback.

Also when calling anyplace and only talking to a recording telling you to press buttons to go thru their recording. Before it will let you talk to a live human being. Damn gizmos. :confused:
 
I hate going in to fast food places. Before I can tell the person at the register what I want that person will ask me if I would like to try something else. Sorry. But I want what I want. Then to add insult to injury, before I tell them what I want, I'll tell them it's to go. That person will ask again if it's for here or to go.

I'm at Walmart waiting to pay for my purchases and the registers are full of people waiting to pay for their goods. I notice numerous women at the front of the registers standing at podiums (with cash registers, mind you.) just looking around, yet the store can't open any more registers that could be available for use. :roll:
