Pet Peeves

[lady67]

In the spirit of Naughty's recent line of thinking, I am going to present a question to ponder over.  My hubby has always told me that I am very "anal" about things that don't matter.  What are some things that just really tick you off?

1.  It drives me crazy when a student is looking for an answer in a textbook and their neighbor says, "they it goes!"
    No it isn't going anywhere, it is still right there on the page.

2.  I am so weird about having things equal.  I think everything has to balance out.  For example, Naught's question about public places ,  ***Annoying behavior In Public Places****.  It bothers me that she has 3 astericks at the front of the question and 4 at the end.  Stupid I know.  That is just me for you.

This has been a very intesting read - Nauty - why cant the forks and spoons bath in communality? And beargizmo - I have male counterparts of your daughters....I was going to say that nothing bothers me anymore - But then I remembered when my youngest was deciding whether to play the drums or clarinet?? There is room for a conspiracy theory with the school music program, I believe............

Oh great Kim..........now you have a bark picker!!!!  I wouldn;t be real happy if someone was picking the bark off my trees.......

[PromisedLand]

oh..and repairmen who when they do show up wont SHUT UP...we have a painter, with whom we somehow have become good friends (nice guy) but he comes over to paint and I'm working from home and he will not shut up...on and on about this government conspiracty and that government conspiracy...Love him dearly....particularly during the summer when he'd just drop by to talk and say "hello"...he and his wife have "issues"...

but please..if you're coming to my house to work...please LEAVE ME ALONE IF I AM WORKING..

thank you

Oh and what about repairmen who tell you that they are going to be there at noon and don't show up until 3 or 4 in the afternoon? I have had a broken garage door for a month now and have played cat and mouse with the repair people for just as long.Needless to say they did it again today and my garage door is still broken.How selfish and disrespectful for them to think that my life revolves around them.BUGS the heck out of me!!!!

[kim715]

People who don't have respect for other people property.I caught my neighbor out back today messing with my tree.I don't have any idea what they were doing but half the bark is missing off the one side. It's not their tree.How dare people think it's ok to touch things that don't belong to them.I can't even share with you folks what I said to them,but rest assured it was nothing nice!!!! The nerve of some people.

[dominosarah]

This drives me BUGGY too!!!!

[kim715]

People who ALWAYS play the victim and live in fairytale land refusing to take responsibility for their actions.They're the first ones to open up their big mouths though,with out thinking {what a SURPRISE],and hand out advice that they ought to take themselves.Of course they're always sooooooooo busy making excuses for their actions that they don't have the time or the space in their pea brain to actually think that other people have lives and that NOT EVERYTHING REVOLVES AROUND THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!That BUGS me so much.Oh it BUGS ME,BUGS ME,BUGS ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

computers:  I HATE COMPUTERS....spent all day yesterday on a minor home network problem that my stepson came home from work and fixed in 5 mins...now I'm trying to get the hard drive from our old computer to work with our new computer (in an enclosure gizmo that's supposed to work!

we have 2 phones in the house..both hooked up to the internet.  One downstairs as the
"main phone" and one upstairs in our room.  I can never find either of them.  And when my wife goes to use them...they're out of charge...she'll spend hours on the phone and
then freaks out when she can't find either one, and both are "dead"...I rarely use the home phone and use my cell instead must I use the phone as both home and cell are all
with T Mobile.

My wife keeps touching "MY" remote, we have two "his" and "hers" but when I look for mine it is on her side of the love seat along with hers.  LOL, I got her one time and tethered it to the lamp on my side, but she had scissors and cut the string and then stole it.

[dominosarah]

Men are "thing" touchers!!!!!

[kim715]

Sara...I would put some super glue on those things and the next time he touches them,the same thing would happen to him,like it happened to VicUser with those pictures that time.That will teach him.Why is it that our men can't leave our things alone???They have things of their own.Do we touch there things without asking???!!!

[dominosarah]

I would have to clean before the maid got here!!!!  I just bought some batteries for my camera!!!!!  Yes i got my flippers at Walmart!!!!  Does that make me bad?? LOL  The ole boy wont give me my stress balls back........claims he needs them!!!!

[kim715]

Thats cute about letting your 2 year old pick out mommys gifts.....I tell my hubby the same thing...pay attention....I guess all he ever sees me doing is cleaning though.Hey maybe this year for Christmas I'll get a maid....Nah...whenever I tell him I need a maid he tells me that no maid would have me...I'd complain to much,and he's right,I probably would....I think I'll make a list this year......super glue,raid,stress balls,a stretching device,a new camera for those pics I told you about,oh and flippers.Remind me to ask sara where she got her flipper at...Probably at Walmart...you know how her and Jacqui are.LOL

[VicUser]

LOL, a list is good, my wife refuses to do that she says I should pay attention through out the year when she "drops" hints. Give me a break I have enough remembering my cell phone and briefcase in the morning.

The funnest year shopping for her was when my oldest was almost 2 and I took him to the store and we walk through the womens clothes, if he pointed at it I bought it. LOL, she took a lot of stuff back, but we had fun.

In my wife's defense she is easy to please, she picked me right, and isn't in to expensive stuff, there again she picked me.

Nope, I am the only dude my folks made.

[kim715]

Do you have a brother???? Just thinking ahead!!!LOL   I do like the vac,but I would have liked it more if I didn't get it for Christmas.We needed a new one so I think he was trying to kill 2 birds with one stone.Replace the old one so I would stop running my mouth about how I was better off crawling around on my hands and knees to pick the crumbs off the floor,and get me something for Christmas that I wouldn't want the receipt to take back.I guess it's my own fault just a little too because when he asks what I want I always used to say I don't care.....Well,that will NEVER happen again,from now on he gets a list!!!!   AND you do laundry AND clean the bathroom...Seriously,PLEASE tell me you have a brother....LOL

[VicUser]

the other night after supper my wife was putting dishs in the dishwasher so I thought, hey I'll help and I put the dishes in my hands in the dishwasher instead of on the counter, remind you she WAS putting dishes in the dish washer too, about a minute later she looked at me and said "why didn't you close the door?" The next time they go on the counter!

[VicUser]

I bought my wife a new Vacuum for Valentines day, lol, she loved it. On the flip side I was doing laundry last night while she was a sleep and I do clean the bathrooms on a regular basis, she hates that job. I don't do as "good" of a job as she would do, but we came to an understanding.

[dominosarah]

It must be that extra "gene" we have that makes us want to clean up after everyone!!!  Try showing him there is a door on the dishwasher!!!!!

OH AND one more thing.............dirty ashtrays........they just gross me out.

Still thinking im perfect even after the last comment that was made to me seconds ago, well arent we on our high horse twinkle toes..........!!!!   I smiled and accidently had a cramp in my finger!!!!

[joangy]

LMAO!!!!

I have one of those hubbies too!! He will rinse the dishes off and put them on the counter ABOVE the dishwasher- are you kidding?? What... it would take an extra 2 seconds to put them INSIDE the dishwasher and now I have to clean the counter as well as loading the dishwasher- THANKS for the help!!

[kim715]

Sara...my family tells me all the time when I complain about the way they"clean' something,and I use the term loosely,that not everyone can be as perfect as me....My response to them....I know it will never happen,but the least you can do is try.!!!!

[dominosarah]

Yes he does have a brother Kim!!!!  I got a rice and vegetable steamer!!!!  Why???  I didnt want one!!!!

Jacqui.......i am also rethinking Walmart......it is a scam you know!!!!  

I am starting to think i am rather perfect!!!!!  LOL

[trippedoutgirl]

I can't stand that SQUEAK THING it makes my crazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzYI I just want to go bonkers on him.

[kim715]

Jacqui....I can't believe you shop at walmart....I'm going to have to re-evaluate our friendship after hearing this news...I'm in shock at the moment!!!!!!!!!!  Although I do love the bakery in the super Walmart here....they sell these amazing little Italian tarts..They're to die for!!!!!!!!!!!!


Sara....got the same thing going on here with the vacuum.Only these ones here,after I flip the he!! out on them of course,will run it while it is totally full,kicking out dust and all,and then put it back.Then when I say something like,I thought I told you to run the vac,they'll say I did,but it's not picking up!!!!!!!   HELLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOO THEN WHY DO THEY STAND THERE AND EVEN PUSH IT AROUND?????!!!!!! and I do mean stand there.When they vac the only place that gets vac'd is the circle around where they are standing,they don't move.Oh and another thing I just love is when theres something on the floor that the vac won't pick up and instead of bending down,god forbid ,they would probably get too winded,and picking it up they'll run the vac over it 900 times until eventually the thing gets stuck and clogs the vac or breaks the belt.The belts for this stupid vac are like 20 bucks...and then I have to listen to the hubbys' mouth about how he spent almost $300.00 on a vac and spends $300.00 a month to replace the belts......Thats his own fault..Who spends $300,00 on a vac???? Oh and the best part.....IT WAS ONE OF MY CHRISTMAS GIFTS LAST YEAR!!!!!! Yes....most woman get jewelry or fine perfumes.....I GET A VACUUM!!!!!   Sorry ladies,I know you all want him now...but he's taken,and thank goodness he has no brothers!!!!!
