What's your pet peeve?

[martikadragoon]

What bothers you and gets under your skin making you want to scream?

Personally: repetitive movements, SMACKING YOUR FOOD. EWww.... I am posting because as we speak my MIL is smacking on popcorn and soda and it's absolutely freaking discusting.

GREAT post idea! So my number one is when someone says something and you ask "what?" and they tell you never mind. That annoys me soooo bad!! DH squeezing whatever part of the toothpaste in stead of squeezing from the bottom up when it's getting low...people who drive 10 miles an hour UNDER the speed limit in THE FAST LANE. Not only do people who walk slowly in grocery/other stores drive me nuts, I hate it when they stop, look behind them and see you right there, turn around and continue to take up the whole isle. Just happened to me in the PX the other day, I'm walking down the isle to the checkout lines and this female MP looks at me then turns around and continues her conversation in a circle of about 5 or 6 people. I'm stopped right next to her everyone in this circle looks at me, I say excuse me twice, and only when DH raises his voice and says it a third time does she move...when she saw me coming, there's no other way to get out of the isle...it's not like I could have turned down another isle. People blocking the entrance to an isle just so they can look down it annoy the heck out of me...really, go down the isle what's it gonna hurt? People smacking is way up there as well...unfortunately in Korea, it's not rude to chew with your mouth open. OH!!! BIG ONE! DH telling me DS is doing something he shouldn't be doing instead of getting up and stopping him. UGH! It hasn't been anything dangerous yet, but I asked him last night if he would tell me DS was doing something dangerous (ie trying to stick something in an outlet) or if he would stop him. All of my MIL's advice...(she sent me a link once that basically said don't fill your house with certain scents because it may feminize your son, and playing with plastic dishware could turn him gay. Or it was the other way around, but you get the point.) Ladies...I could write a novel on my pet peeves...there's too many. Again, great post...maybe we can start doing a weekly "what's bugging you this week" post...kinda like the Moody Mondays post that was going...

Lol.... :) Nice to see a guy on hree Proud Papa! :) ioe
I also hate ppl when they can't move out of my way.... OR when they're rude and I'm obviously preggo (34w)/... I've said stuff to ppl for smoking before.

Someone was smoking in front of applebees within about 4ft of the door and I told them "did you know in california it's AGAINST THE LAW to smoke that close to the doors? You need to move. I have a baby here with lung issues and am pregnant. We dont need your second hand smoke! move your A**!!!)  I really said that, lol. They moved

[Proud_Papa_of_2]

my biggest one are people that can't signal before changing lanes. Used to be just in front of me but now it could be two lanes over or a mile ahead or behind me. LoL

[Limonada]

I have another one!

People who are right on your a$$ while you use a debit machine at a store or an ATM.

[thickm]

at the moment absouletly everything was husband does bothers me! good ol pregnancy hormones lol!!!

[blueeyedtabbycat]

people leaving on their blinkers or forgetting they put them on and not switching lanes, UGH!!!  Forks scapping across the plates. My DH does it just cause it drives me up the wall. Its like nails on a chalk board. My MIL, enough said:-) People ridding my azz while driving, when there is noone eles on the road! Just swich lanes dang it.

These were pretty funny! I was at babiesrus today and I just needed to run in and out really quick to pick up a baby shower gift. It was like a praticle joke. All the people in the store were just milling around. It was so bad I couldn't get down the isles with my cart. I was ready to scream. What could have been a 5 minute trip turned into 30. Retail in general makes me go crazy. I very much dislike crowded stores of any type.

[JoyRenee]

Mine would be people asking for advice/opinions and then shooting down every single little suggestion you give them with every excuse in the book. Nothing you say or suggest matters. I just don't get it!

[Ashelen]

I can't stand repetitive, high-pitched whistling and when my husband picks his toenails OMG so annoying.....I also hate it when my MIL tries to jokingly say stuff like "hahaha when my babies were 13 months old they were still eating baby food, none of this real stuff" like she's criticizing but trying to be nice about it?!   I'm like.... alright woman you ended up with one fat kid and one skinny kid, so I'm not taking nutrition advice from you, I'm going to trust my doctor....bleah.  

BTW, Limonada, I'm totally in agreement with you...as I've mentioned before, I just got back from a 4-day trip to Disney world and OMG everyone goes dumb when they get there. People love to stop in the middle of the sidewalk and point in any given direction while holding up a map. Step to the side please?!?!

Wait one more....I hate it when you're driving and someone next to you goes dumb and just parallel drives beside you....when you speed up they speed up because they're just not paying attention, and then slow down when you do....seriously? if you're paying THAT little attention while you drive...please take a bus.

[Limonada]

I hate it when people are walking really slow in front of you (in a store, mall, etc.) or stop right in front of you without any warning or consideration for the fact that someone might be right behind them.

I also hate it when you're walking towards someone and they MAKE NO MOVE whatsoever to step out of the way.....so you have to.

AND I take public transportation home from work.....I have yet to have someone stand up on a crowded bus and offer me a seat (I'm 30 weeks pregnant, so I'm past that "in between" stage where you might wonder if I really am pregnant or just a bit overweight).  I also have people cut in line in front of me constantly and smoke in front of me.

Obviously a lot of things annoy me these days ;-)

Ugh - I hate loud talkers/close talkers, mouth breathers/nose whistling and I can't stand a mess in my house for long periods of time.

Ppl judging our parenting.  MIL in particular.  She doesn't agree with us using a night light at night, doesn't agree with the fact that we allow books in Anika's (she is almost 3) room because apparently that's why she doesn't sleep at night.  Not sure where she is getting the not sleeping from as Anika sleeps from 8pm-6:30am straight.  She doesn't agree with time outs and jeopardizes our efforts every time we are at their place (she goes and snuggles with Anika until her time out is over).  She gives into Anika with everything which makes it that more difficult for us at home.  She'll give Anika things even if we say "NO" (for example: endless amounts of chocolate).  Then she wonders why Anika won't eat dinner and will then try give her dessert (NO dessert if the meal hasn't even been touch).  The list goes on and on and on......hahahahha.....that was a good vent.  Great post!

ew smacking food drives me absolutely up the wall!! i cant handle it! also, tooth paste in the sink, a messy unorganized  fridge and leaving the cuboards open (DF does this all the time) how hard is it to shut a freaking cuboard when u get something out of it?! loud cell phone talkers and grumpy people! lol i could go on im sure....
isthisnormal...i also cant stand mouth breathers sometimes DF breathes with his mouth open at night and i just want to smack him!!

[isthisnormal]

I can't STAND my MIL calling Lily HER baby. That bugs me so much. As well as dirty kitchens, and mouth breathers. Although, I think at this point everything irritates me. xD This is a good post though, lets keep this going!

[spade22]

cracking knuckles......

smacking food is way up on my list too.
