Im at home and I am bored, so I figured I would start a thread about this, and help pass the time.

What is everybody's biggest pet peeves.

Mine,

Chomping your gum
Dragging your feet when you walk
When people say 'warsh' or 'idear'
 
- When people chew with their mouths open
- Being too cold somewhere that I can't do anything about it
- Warm soda
 
Most of mine have to do with driving.

-people who cruise in the left lane and don't get over
-people who don't understand right of way
-people who don't nudge ahead when turning left and sit through an entire cycle of the light
-people who don't read signs that are right in front of them like "no right turn on red" (and then honk at me for obeying the sign) or "left turn permitted on red after stop" and they sit there and you honk and they throw up their arms like what?
-HAWK FANS
 
When people drag their feet, eat with their mouth open and strongly pronounce the "g" at the end of -ing words.

that one really pisses me off. I have one on my way to work every day and it's a block from the elementary/middle schools so you often get kids going across - coming from behind you, often on bikes so they're moving quickly and you don't always see them right away. Like hell I'm going to go through. You can wait the whole 18 seconds.

why are not at work? Feeling icky still?
 
I think it's fairly well known around here that if you leave a few seconds where my microwave clock is supposed to be, you're basically dead to me.
 
lots of things annoy me. People who don't read their emails/spell my name wrong in them would be toward the top of the list currently. That and stupid people. You can't afford to go to some stupid KONY conference because you live in your in-laws basement? Don't hound me for donations. You have two unfixed dogs sleeping and ******* in the bed with your infant? You're a moron.

That reminds me...

I've had a lot of stuff going on with my dad's estate and I try to do as much of it as possible by email because often times I'm at work and it's just the easiest and most convenient way. I have been shocked at how many businesses simply blow off their email. Just this week alone I've had emails completely ignored by no fewer than five businesses I've been dealing with and they all said the same thing,"Well, you should've called."

How about YOU don't offer email as a way to contact you if you're not going to use it, pal.

THIS! My name is right there in your contact list, spelled at the bottom of all my emails, and we are friends on Facebook. You think you'd figure out how to spell my name. Oh, you misspelled it on your wedding invitation to us? I'm so sorry you couldn't make three clicks in the internet to spell my name right. It's not even a weird name!
 
Oh oh oh another one

people who just assume something is broken or not working properly because they DIDN'T READ THE MANUAL

I have a weird first name so I get misspellings all the time. Doesn't bother me. But when you're replying to my email that has my full name in both the email and the signature, and THEN you put my name MISSPELLED into a Powerpoint?

Yeah and I'm not even talking about ignoring them, but just not even paying attention. Replying back to me with questions I just answered in the email they're replying to. Or not reading where I say "send this highly confidential information to x person at x email." And then wake up to 60 confidential files in MY inbox. Sigh.
 
1) Definitely smacking/chewing with your mouth open is tops on my list. The sound just makes my skin crawl. It's amazing how children are raised without being told to "chew with your mouth closed." 2) People who disregard the courtesy of shutting off their phones in a movie theater (and keeping them off). These theater etiquette rules apparently don't apply to them. People who constantly talk to the person next to them in the theater as well. YOU'RE NOT IN YOUR OWN F***ING LIVING ROOM! SHUT UP! 3) People who go to restaurants with small children that will shriek, no matter the situation. Some kids are quiet and can sit through a meal with no problem. I have the issue with the ones who cannot and the parents who are oblivious to the fact that they're single-handedly ruining the meal of everyone else in the building. 4) People who talk over other people because they can't take the time to see that a conversation is already happening, then don't understand why you don't cease your conversation to pay attention to them. 5) People who walk their dogs without a baggie to pick up the poo. This is especially bothersome if I see it at Ada Hayden or another park. Somehow, it's not disrespectful if it's on public property? Really?!? 6) People who smoke and throw their cigarette butts on the ground or out the window of their vehicle. Classy.
 
People at the grocery store who spend 5 minutes blocking the 'insert food item here' section with their cart while they try to decide which brand to buy after they saw you there waiting for them to move out of the way.
