Pet Peeves

Ladies, what are your biggest pet peeves when it comes to guys? My biggest pet peeve when it comes to women is double standards! But hey, thats just me.

oh i got one that irrates me sooo much my hubby will be 30 in july and has a 13 in march younger brother. when ever younger bro stays with us or we'll take him for day it seems hubby decides to revert back to childhood. making stupid jokes or doing stupid childish things for example the one i got really really mad at was when we registered for our now 4 mo daughter (younger bro was with) i let him have gun so it wouldnt be so bad but then he goes and picks stupid things or useless things and laughs about it or when i was deciding on what kind of bottles he would just sit and sigh loudly i finally got sick of it and told him fine we are leaving i will do the rest online. then he has the balls to ask why

Judy, my bf does that a lot. tells me to be ready and then shows up late. ughh. he told me before that he was giving me extra time. not that I need it, I'm very rarely late.

I don't like when guys make excuses for their actions, blaming it on their male testosterone or just "being a guy". pshh, two can play that game. lol.

hahahahaha...thats sounds like something i'd do.  I do envy guys though cause when they are busting to go pee, and are out but no loo in sight, all they have to do is whip it out and their off, but us girls we swquat with our knickers n trousers around our ankles and no matter how many times we try we always drench ourselves don't we!! and look like proper ars*s while we are doing it as well......

regarding toilet seats.... once had a friend put clear plastic wrap over the bowl-- nice and tight, then half unscrewed light bulb... ewwwwwwwwww!!!!   Would have been great to see the startled look on his face when it all splattered back all over him!!!

When he doesn't want to go to a family event and tells you at the last minute, "Oh, today were were invited to Marisa's birthday"....when the party will start in a few hours"...then has an excuse to watch sports :)

when it's your birthday and your guy gets you a pressy, but the thing is it anit really for you, it's for him cause when you unwrap it it's some sexy underware, then he wants a massive thank-you and expects to get lucky.....pppfffff

LOL.... there is nothing wrong with a guy approaching a woman and i dont have a problem with that either but what i mean't was when the guy calls over to me saying stuff like 'you look like you have black in you' and once i fell for it and said 'er no im english, full white' and he said 'well would you like some in you'...... i told him to go suck his own doo darr...dirty so n so.   Or when i get some guy run up to me telling me i have a lovely backside and how they want some.... as if i'm gona say ohh i have found the love of my life, please be mine FOREVER!!! lol.

When you approach a woman all you have to do is show her respect, no cheecy chat up lines, be yourself and add a little humour and you'll do well.

I hate it too when we are talking in the mall or something and my bf starts raising his voice at me ( I usually start walking away from him, which makes him think it is okay to grab my arm or block me in)... I hate all of that.

but really a big pet peeve for me is both my ex and my bf don't take responsibility for their actions, and it drives me nuts... like saying 'there was nothing else I could do' makes it okay to do it.  You know it is wrong so just don't do it.  I don't blame you for me walking away from you so don't blame me for grabbing my arm or whatever, I walk away because I don't like it...  OMG.

also, the toilet seat, I have 2 teenage sons and a bf and none of them leave the seat up, but when any of them are the last in the bathroom the seat is magically up, and I have dipped my butt in the cold toilet water a few times (I have since learned to look before I sit)...  

and another pet peeve of mine is everyone telling me what eachother is doing and expecting me to side with them...  I don't care to be on sides I want you to talk to eachother and come to me when it is about me!!!!

and the whole gas thing, I tried to be proper about it and not do it in front of anyone, but really I grew up with a mother that nicknamed the noise, and it was always a point of laughter in my child hood and it was really hard to overcome that, and I do believe I come from a gassy family, and who can hold it for too long without painful cramps, my pet peeve about that is, when men think that they can let loose but women can't, if you are going to do it in front of me, I will return the favour and probably laugh too.

I do the same thing mami..I can out-wait him, because he smokes after meals. So he'll sit and wait for me to do it and I just wait until he has to smoke....so he finally gets up and I'm like "Here honey please take this since you're taking yours" LOL

Judy I figured out that trick.  I feed him but as soon as he gets up to throw his dish out because he realized I won't...I throw my plate on top of his and say "thank you"....lol.  Works every time.

when my fiance assumes and expects me to make the dinner, set the table, serve as waiteress even if I am sitting down eating and clean the table and dishes.....Oh, I forget it's suppose to be a woman's role!  How about helping clear the friken table once in a while AND lays like a couch potato watching his sports and has the nerve to tell to me give him the remote, which is closer to him.....my response, "get it yourself" :)

ahhh the toilet seat up. while i was pregnant i was staying with my mom (dh was out of state) and her husband NEVER put the d*mn seat down. 3 am i had to pee like no other. i sit down and plop goes my rear end. i started to scream..mom though i'd gone into labor. lol. he didn't learn and still left the toilet seat up....i did learn. i even banned him from using the upstairs potty. he had to use the downstairs one. (i wasn't allowed to walk up and down stairs so i claimed the upstairs bathroom as the womens only bathroom for 8 months. lol)

When I was 8 months pregnant, my husband left the seat up------  in the middle of the night when I had to use the bathroom and almost went all the way in . . . well, lets just say my blood curdling yells left a lasting impression.  Husband does NOT do this anymore . . . lol.  

Man, I never realized I had so many pet peeves but I agree with most everything here!!  

Here is another-----  when husband is out late due to a work meeting, flight getting in late . . . happy hour with his buddies------- and he comes in just as I am putting the kids to bed and gets them all riled up and they are up for another hour.  Then I still have to put them to bed.  And then the next day he leaves for work and I am left with two tired grumpy kids!

oh, no. I don't want them to leave it down. just put it up, go pee, then have them put it back down! it's not that hard. haha.

my poor little cousin fell into the toilet after my brother didn't put the seat back down. it was late at night and she just sat down and fell it. poor girl.

I get annoyed with the toilet seat being left up. I grew up with brothers and when I was young they put it back down, but now they don't. And my bf never puts it back down either. drives me crazy. lol.

another pet peeve...when a man raises his voice in public or easily....this causes hurt feelings and possibly re-evaluating the relationship.

There is nothing wrong with approaching any  woman who you find interesting, but ready for either a positive response or a rejectio, it comes with the turf. I don't think it's a good idea to do it at work, because it can backfire resulting in an uncomfortable work environment.

LOL@penswriter for her DH's excuses.....My husband always tries to blame the baby, who thinks it's HILARIOUS.

and mami, I feel your pain. my husband loves nothing more than tacos...and tacos do not love him. but LOL@musical anus.

ladies I don't know if your husbands are aware of this trick...I told my husband about it last week and apparently no one ever told him about it before (me and MIL are going to have a LONG talk) where when you're gassy you go sit on the toilet and have it out for awhile....he never thought to do it!!!


and I think I'm the exact opposite of Julie....my pet peeve is men who DON'T appreciate my "presence". (not to be vain) but I'm FAIRLY confident about my looks, although I've gained weight through these childbearing years LOL, and I'm used to a certain degree of male attention...and when a man is indifferent to my presence I get a little confused by it, although it's obviously a different story when the man is with his wife/girlfriend/fiance...that's completely off limits! But a man who whistles at me or appreciates my physical appearance is fine with me as long as he makes no threatening physical advances. I usually don't respond negatively to the guys who whistle or hoot at me on the street...I either don't acknowledge them or respond with something like "keep looking boys, it's all you'll ever get." and they always laugh and it generally disarms a potentially tense situation. Although I did slap one guy, but that was for my friend not for myself LOL.
