What are your pet peeves?

MyPoundPuppies · Post-a-Holic - Give this person a rabies shot!

HHMMMM......

People who scrape their fork on their teeth.

Idiot drivers who evidently purchased the road and I wasn't informed.

Smart mouths from teenagers...deal with that one daily.

Dog nails in my back at night.

A grandpa who puts the dishes away wherever he wants instead of the correct cabinet. That one really irratates the $%*# out of me.

A grandpa who puts his books, glasses, or other trinkets in with my dishes in my cabinets. (Don't get the wrong I idea, I love the man and keep these things to myself.)

Stupid commercials that assume I am a complete moronic idiot!

I am sure there are many more, but I will shut up now! lol

1. I can't find a breeder in my geographic region for Dutch Blue Love birds. I want one today!

2. Parent's dropping their seven year old's at the library: dirty, and unsupervised. When I ask the children to get a book and tell me what it is about...they are so starved for attention they try to read even though it is obvious they can't. Parent's not giving their children the adequate skills to succeed in this world: learning how to read.

3. Unsupervised, undisciplined children

4. Teens in the library on a school day- starting at 10 am and not leaving the library until 9 at night.

5. Breeders (of homo sapiens)

6. Adult students who think it is my fault that they had 4 children and are married by the age of 22 and they are trying to go to college and cant complete their assignments because of hubby, the kids, work etc. College is too stressful with everything they have going on in their lives and it is my fault if I dont understand this.

Choices=consequences. I am sick of explaining this to adults.

7. People who are mean to the elderly, animals and children.

8. Television.

9. The media.

10. The government's embargo on freedom so to speak.

11. Religious fanatics and Jesus freaks.

12. Skinny people obsessed with their weight and are cruel to people that are larger than them. Our world's obsession with the weight of women. I am not large but many of my friends are and they are treated very cruelly. I am so tired of everyone harping on big people. --So I guess Hollywood. If you saw many of these actresses in person you would scream. The one dating Tom Cruise had a horrible outbreak of cold sores. Cameron Diaz has horrible acne and so does Vanessa Williams and on and on and on...People are obsessed with looking and being like Hollywood actresses but the reality is those people are getting rich off of selling a fake image.

13. The Apprentice and ALL the reality shows. How self absorbed can some of these people be... I mean like I give a rat's ass about Bobby Brown's life, the Osbournes or any of those overpaid untalented ne'er do wells.

14. YEAH.. Britney, Jessica and all of the plastics barbies.

THANKS I FEEL BETTER!

Heff said "Fat women that insist on wearing bikinis or skimpy clothes....Need I say more"
I totally agree with you on that one, Heff!! Actually can't stand even thin women wearing skimpy clothes, mostly because I'm too fat to wear them and am very jealous, HA!!

I also hate when people come over to my house, uninvited, and insist on seeing it, like I wasn't doing anything when they came over. That's my grandma I'm talking about.

Rude people really make me mad, especially when they're in the service business, like at the bank Brad banks at. They are so rude, never smile, always just very short with me!!

People that never smile. I have no idea how you could go thru life not smiling at all. There's a girl at work that's like 2 years younger than me and I swear I've never seen her smile.

Girls that weigh only about 90 lbs, are 5' 7", wear a size 0, and swear they're fat. That just P*SSES ME OFF!!!

Girls that wear size 0 and swear they can eat anything and never gain an ounce, or have trouble finding clothes in their size 0, or complain that a size small shirt is way too big for them..........again mainly because I'm very jealous and wish I had that same problem, lol.

People trying to wake me up.....I cherish my sleep and am, therefore, very violent when someone is trying to wake me up. I barely wake up and swing at whoever it is that is doing the offensive behavior, lol.

Mollie always wakes up, on the days that I have to work in the morning, like 10 min. before my alarm is to go off. She wakes up and walks around all over me, shakes, then lays back down. I can never get back to sleep once she's done that, and I love sleeping, so it really annoys the he** outta me!!

Poor people that are poor because of bad choices on their part or because they are just plain lazy, and they have children that are dirty and gross and get made fun of because of it. And the parents are mean and rude to other people that have more than they do, like it's someone else's fault that they are stupid and lazy and have a million kids and all their girls are pregnant by the time they're 17 and that it's somehow my fault. WTF?? They just really are the meaning of "poor white trash" in my opinion. Soap and shampoo don't cost that much and you can keep your legs together, believe it or not!!

I'm sure there are more, but I just can't think of them right now

You have no idea how much better that makes me feel, to know someone else out there deals with this too....there are days I swear my head turns red and just about explodes. He does the oddest things.....and since I know I have compulsive disorders....things have to be where I put them, and I drive everyone crazy....him and I are a bad combo. But I rarely say anything. I just slam things around and b%*$h to Russ about it. It is his dad. Russ takes it pretty well and it all blows over...I just need to vent to someone about it! lol I never take it out on him, he is a diabetic and I have asked Russ to get him checked for Alzhiemers (sp) but Russ deep down is afraid too....

MyPoundPuppies · Post-a-Holic - Give this person a rabies shot!

Wow, Tyson and I view things pretty equally. I could never be mean to Poppy...not my style. He earned his way in life and he helps out around here. I have no right to nag at him. But I am human...I get frustrated.

I can understand where you are coming from with kids/library....parents are so lame these days...some anyways.

Some people are sad excuses for adults....I, too, went back to school and stuggled, but sure didn't complain to anyone about it.

The media....need I even go there.

Politics....won't touch it, personally. I have very different views on that and keep them to myself.

Most skinny people either A. never had to deal with slow metabolism and have no idea how degrading being over weight can be. or B. Have the money to deal with it!! Which I will never have.

Barbies....the media created those....need I say more again??!!

Shadow · Post-a-Holic - Give this person a rabies shot!

IM hearing you really loud ,my dad is 84 and sometimes I want to run away.But I promised my Mom when she was dying that I would take care of him,but he really can take advantage.I could write a book on this subject and would if I didnt have to hunt and peck on this keyboard.

Heffanator · Post-a-Holic - Give this person a rabies shot!

Yup! I agree Mollie! I'm 5'7, and about 140lbs. I'm not overweight but I have a little poochiness in my midregion. My fault though. I don't go around saying I'm fat. The midregion is what most people have a problem with.

I also forgot to add this: When I give Sophie and Joe rawhides or something to chew on, Sophie boes and chews a little and buries it then proceeds to take Joes. He gets very angry over his treats. I always take them from her and give them back. She is so evil, ha. Joe will sometimes take hers and switch out treats.

1. People in my neighborhood who don't take pride in their homes. Example:

(a) Let their lawn burn up, dead weeds, debris every where.

(b) Have so many vehicles they park them in the yard, street, or in front of my house.

(c) Have a BBQ in their front yard, not the backyard, complete with beer keg, loud music, a

pinata, and menudo.

(d) Neighbors who let their dogs run loose.

2. Certain people when they ask, "what kind of dog do you have?" and when you tell them "pit bulls," they get a look on their face that looks like they've been constipated for a week.

3. Senior citizens who think just because they're Seniors, they own the whole world and it's their way or no way. ( I have a living will stating that euthanasia is an option if I get so bad.)

4. People who throw cigarette butts out the car windows, or litter bugs in general.

5. People pan handling money in parking lots. They now ask if we can spare a couple of dollars. I remember when they use to ask for change. INFLATION

6. A store ad that comes out in the morning paper and there's something you want and you run right to the store to get it to find out they don't have it, but you can buy the next best thing which usually costs more.

7. A big, huge store with 25 check-outs and only 5 check-outs are open.

8. A driver in a parking lot that holds up cars while waiting for a parking space close to the front of the store. I mean, just park it and walk a little would you?!

9. People that park in handicapped parking spots and they're no more handicapped than I am. Usually they drive fancy sport cars or fancy sport utilities vehicles.

10. People that" No habla englas."

Yup! Alot of them are really rude and think they rule the world and my mom doesn't take their crap, she snaps right back and they hush. She doesn't give them sympathy just cause they are old and neither do I. They're no better than you or I.

Totally agreed!! I hate the fact that when I went to a meeting with Chuck Grassley, all the sc's there were b*tching about how they don't get enought social security!! Gimme a f*cking break!! They are at least going to have money, and we're the ones giving it to them!! We are going to see little if any when we get old, plus they're going to up the retirement age to like 80 by the time I get close. They're really the "me" generation-all they can think about is themselves and it drives me nuts!! I had a lady call the salon yesterday, asking if we do senior citizen discounts on perms and I told her "no, we do not" and she just hung up!! It's like $52 is a lot for a perm now?? Gimme a f*ing break!!

Shadow · Post-a-Holic - Give this person a rabies shot!

Man I can't believe some of the things being said here,Seniors have it very tough!!!I see the things my parents have dealt with,and believe me it isn't no fun.And by the way social security payments are made to seniors who worked all their life and payed into it and earned it.We will all be there.The money thet spend on medicine alone is outrageous!!!Unless the built up their retirement they are screwed.WOW unbelievable I never knew anyone felt this was about seniors getting ss ,its not like they are sitting on their a$$ drawing welfare.

1. People that drive lets say a Trans Am, and across their windshield thay have Trans Am in big letters. I mean DUH!!! We know what type of car it is. Makes me want to get a camaro and put Corvette over the windshield.

2. People that go 50 in a 70 zone and they won't get over to let you pass.

3. People who wear their pants so low they have butt crack.

4. People who call Oscar a greyhound. Have you ever seen a 160 pound greyhound?

Oh well, I'll get back with this. My food is here.

Heffanator · Post-a-Holic - Give this person a rabies shot!

wow! I've seen places charge more than 52 dollars for a perm! What an old hag! ha!

Shadow, what I meant was the fact that they b*tch about not getting enough ss makes me mad. My mom and dad aren't going to get near as much as their parents get and my generation is going to get even less. It just makes me mad to see senior citizens driving around in brand new cars, owning huge, expensive motor homes, and b*tching because they don't get enough social security. My grandma is one of those, for example. She gets a new Buick, not just a plain jane one, but a really nice one, with all the bells and whistles, every other year. And she b*tches about being a "poor old woman" and how it's great to have sc discounts. Gimme a break!!

PitPat2AZ · 9:25 PM, 05/26/05

I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my Senior Citizen pet peeve. After all, I'm just 4 years away from that pivotal Senior age of 55. Then I can join the rest of the Seniors and sit in McDonalds every morning between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. and drink free coffee and not order anything else. Or go grocery shopping on "Senior's Tuesday" at Fry's Super Market and save 10% on my grocery bill, mind you there's a lady with 3 kids right behind me trying to feed them nutritional food and pay full price. Or get a Senior's break on my property tax but the family down the street is ready to have their house foreclosed because the Father lost his job due to his company is out-sourcing his job to India.

Being a Senior means you become as tight as bark on a tree with every buck you have and sit around with other Seniors and compare who got the best discount of the day and how you have no shame in asking for it.

And, oh yes, being a Senior has its drawbacks, too. You can't sleep very well at night because you can't stop worrying about how you're going to take it all with you when you die.

oasis05 · Moderator

IMO, senior citizens do not get enough help and yes, it will be worse for us. SC's have worked almost all their lives so i feel they deserve to bi$#h some. JMO.
