I agree. Hence the term, "peevish". And it's hard to feed peeves. They don't sell peeve food at WalMart. :x

My pet peeve is threads about pet peeves that are just itchin' to get more people bitchin'. God knows we don't have enough of that on BN.
Good day.
I respect your position about such things..........no offense was intended. Good day to you......

Just a FEW of my pet peeves:

The sound of people popping their gum is probably THE most annoying thing to me under the sun.

When I answer my phone at home or work, and the baffoon calling says "WHO IS THIS?"
(I ususally respond by saying, "Gee I don't know, Mr./Mrs. A-hole-who's THIS?"

I also hate it when someone asks me "How's Garry?"
(Like they give a crap anyway).

Drivers in the fast lane of the interstate going barely 40-45 miles per hour.

People talking on their cell phones while driving.

Stuck up/snobby people.

WINTER IN IOWA!
(Which is finally over).

Along those same lines ...

When my office phone rings, I answer and the person on the other end says "Oh, I didn't think you'd be there." If you didn't think I'd be here, why did you call?

People who think the whole entire carriage needs to listen to the phone calls on their mobile phones as they yell in to the bloody things!

I also have daily conversations with someone who always says words out in full mainly "did not" "have not" with emphasis on the "not" .... for some reason - totally irritating!

How about those sweet people that get in the express ck out line in the grocery store with 50 items and the huge sign notes 15 or less items.

Not using a blinker and making a quick turn.

people not passing an open door to the next person behind them and letting the door close infront of you

I guess in general ...rude inconsiderate people

I really can't stand people that feed the seagulls on the beach, I'm sitting there enjoying my space on a sunny day and some idiot shoobie decides it would be fun to toss food in the air to create a flock of gulls to come flying and disturb everyone within a hundred yard radius. Everytime I see this I just want get a giant container of Johnson's Caramel Corn and circle it around thier chair then we'll see just how fun it is to feed the seagulls :lol: :lol:

People who do not read emails!!!! Many of us in my department at work give great details regarding a situation, and invariably someone will write back and ask a question that was clear as can be in the email. :roll:

Hmmmm, looks like discussing pet peeves isn't offensive to everybody........ :roll: :o

I find there is a difference between occasional venting and chronic bitching....... :pirate:
On most days I say: "Wrinkles only go where the smiles have been...."
Sometimes I can only say: "There is no dumbass vaccine......"
