I totally understand this. There are a lot of ways people can get approved for Handicap parking though.. i.e.- legally being considered a 'midget', which is anyone 4'11'' or shorter... having mild to severe tourette's syndrome or OCD is another one I've heard of.... it's kinda crazy but apparently totally legal.

Some that bother me....

When you ask someone to stop doing something and they do the whole "one more time, just one more time" NOO... I asked politely for you to stop now. So 'just do it' NOW.

When in an argument/disagreement with someone who is equally hard headed... they continue to say a certain comment over and over and over while you're explaining your side of things i.e. - "yes I did, yes I did, YES I DID..." and then it's just a battle of who has the last word, saying that one comment. Think a brother and sister fighting as kids. Annoying.

I'm a server... so I have literally HUNDREDS of peeves about my job. But one that pretty much sums it all up is....

This is my job. Do not come in here to the restaurant I work at, sit in my section, and continually be a complete and utter bastard. From word one, you've treated me like shit for whatever reason and because I'd rather not get fired I have to smile, continue to treat you like fucking royalty and suck it all up. This is my JOB/CAREER. I do not come into your office, and treat you like total shit... so do NOT sit in my section and do it to me. UNACCEPTABLE.

lktknow

The one thing that can really get to me is the way some people answer the phone, (or talk on it period.).they will answer.."Yeah"..and then make it a guessing game as to who you are talking to...I always identify myself and say who I am calling for....

Oh, I can't stand it when people add cups to the sink when I am washing plates, or vice versa. I like to wash plates and glasses/cups and sliverware all separately. Why the hell to people always mix those things up?? It's about as bad as mixing your socks, bras, and panties all in one drawer. wtf?

Also, what's with

ALL CAPS AND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND

When I was rooming in, I would hate bringing home some Applebee's leftovers and having it gone in 60 seconds. We were all at one point struggling, and every meal was elusive. I brought home a whole burrito from Applebee's one night for breakfast the next morning. Gone.

My another pet peeve of mine, is while waiting tables, I have to bus them as well. And some people hide their dirty napkins. I'm trying to clean up after you, and you make it harder on me?! Some people.

My husband is really bad about leaving dirty silverware on the counters. I know his thought is "I'll reuse it later" but he can't remember anything so it sits there until I get ticked off enough to put it in the sink....But then he does most of the dishes, so I guess I shouldn't complain.

- People not using the cruise control. (I actually feel I can pay more attention if I'm not having to constantly look down to check my speed.)
- People that continually tap/knock/whatever. My brother used to do this at the supper table just to annoy me.
- People that assume my IQ drops just because I'm a woman/people that assume I can't do something physically because I'm a woman.

wow, Its been a long while since food was scarce for me, but I could seriously see myself turning into a damned wild gorilla if someone stole my food and left me hungry.

people tell me that I eat my food like a dog, and I'm usually done eating before other people reach the halfway mark.

A common misconception is that handicapped means "Physically impaired". You can have cataracts and be elligible to park in a handicapped space, so you shouldn't judge based solely on appearances.

I think the point being made is that the "handicapped" spaces are closer to the store entrance because they're for people whose mobility is impaired and needs the ability to park close to the entrance. Cataracts may count as a disability, but it has nothing to do with their ability to walk 10 vs 50 feet. They're not less blind in 10 feet than they would be walking 50 feet from the back of the parking lot, if they have no physical limitations to walk.

My grandmother has a balance problem. She can't walk more than a handful of feet on her own without almost falling over. With someone at her arm, so she can gauge balance, she's much better, but still can't walk for long. Walking from halfway up a Target parking lot is out of the question for her.

What's being complained about here is when someone is obviously using the spot for its convenient proximity, not because they need it- like the person who power walks to the car and hoists large boxes into the back, unassisted. How does that person possibly have a legitimate need for that space? They don't, and that's the general point of this peeve.

evilbeefchan

People who are passive aggressive. I'm a graphic design student and critiques are very important. We have a few students who, once criticized, become immature little shits incapable of listening to others.
Something else I've noticed is these are the same people who are afraid to speak their minds and tell the goddamn truth. People are so afraid to flat out say "that design sucks and just isn't working." They toss around "oh, it's interesting," or "well, i think it's an A," as if that's really going to help them develop their skills. So you decide to point out what's not working, how to improve it, etc etc. But since you're in a class full of these people, YOU come off looking like the jerk.

And one last item: traffic that magically clears up. You're on the freeway, it's slow as hell, something that usually takes you 10 minutes has taken you 30. Then, as if an invisible stoplight changes, everyone just floors it and it's clear. Did I just miss something??

Plan9

People that don't have necessary survival stuff in their cars. MORONS. MacGyver should cockslap your nose.

HAVE a road atlas, HAVE jumper cables, HAVE extra fluids, HAVE things you need to survive instead of relying on your damn cell phone 24/7.

hmmm, I get really peeved about:
cabinet doors being left open
the last sheet on the TP roll, change it dammit
the door not being locked after you come inside (yes this is weird, but we live in an apartment complex and we've had random people we don't know just walk in without knocking while we were home)
not watching your speed, no the cruise control doesn't work in the car, at least try not to speed
noisy slurping or gulping while drinking
waiting for the car to *ding* that it really is running out of gas, when it's been on or near E for a while
people who call me 4-5 times in one day, if I haven't called you back it means one of two things, I haven't checked my phone or I don't want to talk to you
slobs - just being generally lazy and not cleaning up after yourself, especially when I've been to your parents house and know you weren't raised like that

k, that's probably enough for now.

I know this thread is old, but peeves always exist, so I thought I'd revive it. Well, really it was because this lady who sits outside of my office hit 2 of my peeves within the last hour and I needed to vent.

I hate when people slurp their drinks or chew loud enough for me to hear them.

It also gets on my nerves when people don't pick up their feet when they walk. They make that "schleping" noise - not sure how else to describe it.

I hate when the sink is left dripping. Why can't you turn it all the way off?

hmmm... I just noticed that all 3 of those peeves are dealing with noises... maybe I have sensitivity to sound?

Damned computers calling me up and expecting me to wait until the salesperson picks up? :shakeshead:

People that leave crud under the cap of the ketchup bottle and toothpaste tube.

Companies that don't acknowledge receipt of your resume or notify you when the position's been filled.

When a family member is clearly upset and responds "nothing" when asked what's wrong.

I hate it when people put toilet paper and paper towels on with the sheet hanging down... I like mine coming off the top thank you very much.

I hate it when people think I want my butter put on my toast AFTER its toasted....ick...and yes I grew up with the butter left out of the fridge (or rather the current stick left out) Now that country crock is round there is no point in it lol

Taking the last of the toilet paper.

Parents that bring their sick children along when they go out to eat. That is what I want nearby while I have trying to have a quiet dinner, screaming kids make everyones life wonderful.

Parents that tote their kids around to inappropriate places and then ask employees to watch them, or just leave them while they manage task X. "I don't want Johnny in the room while I have my pap smear do you have an extra person who could watch him?" Maybe you shouldn't bring Johnny to your pap smear appointment then?

Containers left out open. The soda/water/juice container that has two sips from it sitting out until I dump it out and recycle.

People who post just to say they have nothing to add. For example a vegetarian that will post in the how to cook a steak thread, just to say they are vegetarian and have no idea. I don't care, I want to know how to cook the steak as does the OP.

Comments under the breath. If you have something to say.. spit it out!

Unwanted advice. If I want it, I would have asked.

Spitting in public, especially those who dig deep in their lungs to work it out. I don't need to see it, nor do I wish to walk past it.

Prolific swearing. I think for some people it should be an Olympic event. I don't mind a slip, I am no angel, but must it be every other word?

Baby talk. Seriously, don't do it ever, especially not to babies. Ever where they learn language skills?

I have a few..

wooÐs

• Women who tuck their shirts in their underwear and the underwear's visible.
• Parents who can't control their children.
• Bad breath.
• Girls who twirl their hair in a way that makes them look ditzy instead of sexy.
• People who have their cell phone ringer on the loudest volume setting possible.

...more to come probably.
