What are your pet peeves. They don't have to be child related.



I ask this because one of my HUGE ones are people who have yard sales but price the stuff way high. I went to 5 year sales today and 3 of them had crazy high prices. Yes, you may have paid $40 for your child's dress but you're not going to get $30 for it at a year sale.

My other one is when strangers call Caleb a girl. I wouldn't mind so much if he didn't look so much like a boy.

I have a ton, but I will name a few now and maybe add to the list....

I really hate unmanageable chaos (word taken from Becky! haha). For example I have a BFF that lives in simple CHAOS..everything is always at the last minute and she is a severe, bad, bad, bad procastinator! Now don't get me wrong I dont have a problem because she has those traits, I am to a procastionator at times, but when her issues directly affect me on a daily basis..I get pissed hahaha..if I procrastionate it affects me not innocent bystanders!!! LMAO

Another pet peeve is when people leave wrappers in between the couch cushions!

My MIL & SIL are just big PET PEEVES!!! Everything about them! LOL

I like things to be planned so when their is a mess, or people (not just kids) out of control I get frustrated. People who stop in the middle of walking to chat with people so then I have to walk around them. They should step aside of the path. People who get in a grocery line but then leave the cart to go get this, this, and this, in the mean time, it's her turn and we're waiting on her to begin checking out, all while she is in the milk idle still shopping :GRRR:

ok, I have a lot but Im in an angry mood right now, so I'll stop LOL

I HATE poor grammar and spelling. I'm not perfect but it bugs me when its intentional. Like, me: " that car only has 2 hubcaps"
Someone else: " no it don't". Thats just wrong and it makes you sound dumb IMO

"No it do not" LOL

I hate when my kids and husband leave their dirty clothes on the floor when the hamper is 5 feet away! (Sorry just cleaned up the house for the night haha)

[Daffodil]

This is one that has been annoying me lately...when you say "Sorry" or "pardon me" for being in the way at a store or something (even though its not really your fault) and the other person just looks at you and doesn't say anything. Or if you say hi or smile at someone and they just look at you. I don't understand it, I'm not saying you have to have a conversation with me, but why so rude???

Also, people who leave cabinets or drawers open, or leaving a wet sponge in the sink. EW!!! btw, my husband and his family do both of these.

Also people who, ahem, overstay their welcome

[nevergivingup]

I hate it when someone is at a red light, on their phone and when the light turns green they sit there....and by the time they go (after I honk the horn) the light turns red!!

When someone pulls out in front of you and they go like 10 mph!!

Pretty much people's driving in general bugs the heck out of me

Oh, my gosh...there are so many and I have major pms, so here goes:

1) Snobby people - this goes for people at the grocery store (like many of you have noted) who see you coming but still take up the whole aisle with their carts and don't move after you say "excuse me" or try to squeeze through. I want to ram my cart into them and go off but I don't...I just continue to shop in rage.

2) People who go 5 mph under the speed limit - I'm always behind them and usually when I have to be somewhere quickly.

3) Know-it-alls

4) People who bite their nails in public - I'm a closet nail biter, so I can appreciate it; however, dh bites his nails EVERYWHERE and I want to slap him

5) People who want to argue religion & politics only because they know I don't have the same view - now, I love a good debate but when I feel like someone is trying to pick a fight vs. trying to pick my brain, it really irritates me.

6) People who are afraid of their kids and let them call the shots

7) Cashiers/Sales Associates who don't acknowledge your existance when you are checking out - so pleasant.

8) People who touch any portion of my food before serving it...I'm such a food germiphobe!

There are so many more but it definitely felt good to complain a bit!

[sboricua]

People who wear sunglasses inside buildings! WTH?1 You are not cool.

seeing trash on the ground outside when theres a trash can like right there.

4 or 5 years olds with pacifiers in their mouths! if they can talk, eat solids, and hold a conversation they dont need a paci.

people with no manners. I hold the door for you, please say thanks! or checking out and they dont acknowledge you. you dont like your job, quit.

Heather about the overpriced garage sale stuff I was at one last week and there was a really cute pair of shoes there and the lady wanted $25 for them, I was thinking I won't even pay that much for a brand new pair of shoes.

People who think they are perfect

tapping fingers, dh does this

People who won't discipline their children when they are out.

[SarahBethsMommy]

Oh gosh, I have a huge list!

Poor grammar and spelling. This is a big one with me. I understand if you are typing quickly and you mistype one thing, but when you purposefully misspell a word it frustrates me. And people who do not know the difference between your and you're or though and threw.

Bad drivers. Those who text, weave or generally just can't drive properly annoy the heck out of me. UGH!

Big kids who are mean to my kids. Or rather, I guess, the parents of those kids who have never taught their children to be nice and do not watch them.

On the same note, people who stare and call my son "stupid" or "retarded." Nothing will make my blood boil quicker than a person who makes fun of Lil Buddy.

There are many more. I'll stop there for now.

[CutlassDiva]

I have several, but I completely agree with the overpriced garage sales, and bad drivers (those that can't get up to freeway speed when on an entrance ramp, and think they don't have to look to see if there are people on the freeway)

also, my brother's wife (who doesn't deserve to be called SIL, as that would indicate that I want to acknowledge her as family, which I have no desire to) who has decided Facebook is the place to spout off her stupid and bash my family.
