Pet Peeves...What Are Yours?

So, what are your pet peeves?

I have so many little things that drive me up a wall, so I'll only name a few.

1. People who chew with their mouth opened.
2. Punctuality; I hate when someone is late. Why can't people ever be on time?
3. When someone will replace a "zero" with the letter "O" when giving out a phone number, for example.

I can NOT stand the sound of someone smacking their food...Or when someone sniffles their nose every 5 minutes. It's different if your sick, But I know someone who just sniffles their nose because they like the sound!! Can you believe that! It annoys me!

I can't stand being late for things, and get irritated when others are late.

I don't like rude drivers.  Or people who drive to fast up and down our street.  We all have kids, it is dangerous.  Or people who tailgate me when there is someone right in front of me...don't they think I would speed up if I could?!  Riding my a$$ isn't going to make anyone go any faster!

I don't like when random people at the store feel the need to touch my baby.  Yes, I know she is super cute, but that doesn't give people the right to touch her!  

Probably my biggest peeve is telemarketers.  They never take me off the list, now matter how many times I ask.  And its never okay to call after 8!

Bragging- Im glad that you make 100000000 dollars a year and live in a huge house.. Im happy that your mom owns 20 mc donalds and you drive a 2008 volkswagon jetta, now shutup before I punch you.

When I get asked 20 times a day by complete strangers when im due, what im having, and every other aspect of my pregnancy.. Just because you are in an elevator with me doesn't give you the right to ask me about my pregnancy.. Im not asking you every question I can think of about the kid that your with am I?

When people talk about you and you are still around.. Last night I went to register a patient and he had his wife with him.  I noticed that his family doctor was a doctor that practiced in my hometown (an hour away from my actual work) well, she has a name thats hard to pronounce unless you know of her and I pronounced it correctly, so literally 2 seconds after I walk out of the room his wife says "Wow she must be a patient of doctor ___________'s... A lot of young pregnant girls go to her nowadays, I wonder how old she is.. she looked like she was 12!" I just wanted to peek back in the room and be like "Thanks!" UGGH! stupid idiots.

I have about 5 million others but Im not gonna write all of them lol

People who use Gods Name in vain, it cuts to my bone.
People who chew with their mouth open.
When people tell us how they do it up north (well than why did you come south)
People who mistake my goodness for weakness.
Liars, I have the uncontrollable urge to slap them.
People who don't mind to their own affairs and dig around in mine.
Back stabbers and gossipers...remember if someone brings a tale they take one with them.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when I'm in a hurry to get somewhere and grab some to go food in a fast food restaurant for my family, get home and discover they got my whole order wrong. Or they didn't give me one item.
One time I went to Fazolis, got me and my daughter a chicken pasta ceasar salad and ran home with them (hubby and son were out). I was in a hurry and was working that night. I get home and discover they not only forgot the two packets of ceasar's dressing but also the breadsticks that were supposed to go with them!
This happens to me all the time! I hate it! Because then you don't really want to go back but you really want your items that you paid for, you know?

Another pet peeve is the rudeness I see in employees in stores or restaurants. They act bored, don't smile, don't use manners like please and thank you. They even get abrupt sometimes. It's like "Hello!" you're working for the public providing a service! Didn't they teach you anything in training? Also, I'll go to a store and can't find something. I'll ask an employee (when I can finally find one!) where I can find the item and they don't know! Don't they teach them the layout of the store during training? Or they know nothing about the product. Ugh.

Oh yeah, tailgaters bother me too. I just slow down more or tap my brakes. :)
