What are your Pet Peeves?

What are the little things that just piss you off?

For me its sentences ending in prepositions, drivers on cell phones, political correctness and/or people who are too sensitive about things people say.

My pet peeves are double negatives, political correctness, people who drive less than the speed limit, gulping anything, the spanish word "chongo", and people who make excessive slurping noises while eating spaghetti.

my biggest pet peeve- when people say things like, "I don't mean to be a racist, but I just don't like black people." Or, "not to be rude, but your nose is really big and you're ugly."

I mean, it's horrendous. As if starting a statement with a denial makes the statement less inflammatory.

My list of pet peeves is a mile long but here's a sample:

1. Annoying, loud, and spoiled kids (and their ignorant parents).
2. People who park on the road in front of their house when they have a huge, completely clear driveway.
3. People who don't say please or thank you.
4. Guys who walk like they have biceps and chest muscles the size of redwood tree-trunks.
5. Well you get the point...

I dislike cell phones in general. I admit, I own one, and I use it maybe 1-2 times a week, and I always try to go somewhere private to use it, but when you see (and hear) people on their phones all the time and some of the inane conversations they're having, it just bugs me to death. Some of the specific cell phone uses I hate:

People driving and talking on cell phones
People driving and talking on cell phones at 6.30 in the morning. I mean, who gets up that early first of all, and secondly, why are there other people that are willing to talk on the phone with them so early? What are they talking about, what they had for breakfast? How they slept?
People that turn on their cell phones the second an airplane's landing gear touches the tarmac. Ok, so you need to let your ride know you've arrived, fine. If it's for another reason, just wait a few minutes until you get into the terminal.
The guy at Blockbuster that called at least 4 people while in line to rent a movie that told every one of those people that he had lost 5 pounds on his new diet (honestly, you would never have guessed), and also told those people that he was in line at Blockbuster and so everybody else in the line (it was a very long one) got to hear him relate the same information 4 times in a row.
People on cell phones in restaurants.
People with those Star Trek-like headsets.

Sorry, I didn't realize what a problem I have. I'm going to go take a Valium now.

You're right; there are a lot of threads about this. And that leads to a pet peeve of mine; a SEARCH tool that gathers dust.

I have a pet peeve for petty fights. At least fight about something that will come to a stinking conclusion and had reason beforehand for the argument!

this is getting to be a BIG pet peeve of mine on any board Im on....

people who dont realize that there are people who are dyslexic, and that those people post on message boards (and yes it happens here on TFP too), and those people get dogged by spelling and puncutation nazi's....there is not much more I dislike than reading thru a thread that I KNOW was written by a dyslexic...and yes there are people like that here....and seeing someone make a post that says something only to make the point that the poster didnt use puncuation...

My Dave is dyslexic and its EXTREMELY frustrating for him to post on a board and have people who just dont understand completely pick apart his posts....

People who don't listen. You can usually tell someone isn't listening during an argument when their train of thought is NEVER disrupted by any input you have (if you can get a word in sideways to begin with).

I actually believe that 95% of the world's problems would be solved if people just listened.

Listen to me goddammit!!

One of my biggest is when you are driving down interstate, passing a car, and a really annoying car comes out of nowhere, gets behind you, and starts flashing their brights so you will pull over to let them go by. First of all, I'm already going above the speed limit (by 5 mph or so) so I'm not speeding up to let you around me when there may be a trooper sitting around the turn, and secondly, if you are in that big of a hurry, leave earlier. If you are in a medical emergency, thats why we have ambulances.

Ok in no particular order:

1. Parents who think their children can do no wrong, and don't expect them to take responsibility for anything. (can you tell I'm a teacher?)
2. The assholes in traffic who KNOW a lane is closing and everyone has formed this nice little polite line, and they speed up past the line to the merge point and nudge their way in.
3. Every last one of the morning radio DJ's in the DC metro area - good GOD I guess brains aren't required of that job around here.
4. People who get toooooooooo drunk toooooooo often and use that as an excuse for their constant assholish behavior.
5. Those damn "can you hear me now? GOOD!" commercials.

I think that covers the big ones.

This is a small thing, but I am annoyed about it nonetheless.

Those stupid oval stickers with a few letters on the backs of people's cars, most of which make no obvious sense whatsoever. It started a few years ago around here when people from Europe came back with their cars and had the oval country marker stickers and now there's an oval sticker for just damn everything. Bugs me.
