pet peeves

[muppeteer]

what are you worst pet peeves & bug bears?
mine are unnecessary body noises (apart from farts) like that snorting thing people always do when im eating!

ok maybe one more, while on the subject of those retarded new ketchup and mustard bottles, easy squeeze my @ss, you squeeze them till your face turns blue then it finally comes out in a huge messy pile all over your food. ok if its going in a pile on your plate but try putting it on a burger or a hot dog.

Muppeteer - you really have started something now, rofl !!!

My final input for the night - site owners who go tinkering with development on a Sunday afternoon and totally mess it up - a bit like the person (errr, a bit like me sometimes) who decides to take things apart to see if they can be improved upon but ends up with a load of "spare" bits on the kitchen table. Now what on earth did that bit do ?

[whiffey]

Hi peanut, I see you are in the good old USA - so are chips the same as CRISPS ? Yes CRISPS. Rustle rustle rustle, CRUNCH, munch.

Oh, fine, crisps finished ? well let's have an APPLE, CRUNCH.

All the time gazing apelike at a pc screen.

I need to have a lie down.

[sophie_1003]

When people don't open a packet of crisps right to each edge, so each corner is joined up still (if anyone knows what I mean)
People who leave the lids of shampoo so water gets in it or the lid off toothpaste so it goes all crusty
People who can't use chip and pin machines and when you try to give help they just don't listen (I work in a shop)
Signs and posters that use incorrect spelling or grammar (not on purpose)
When there's no milk in the morning
That's all I can think of at the moment!

[n00dles]

People who say invariably when they really mean mostly.
"He is invariably late for work, the only day he arrived early was on Tuesday." Invariable : Never altering, constant !!!

People who sneeze, cough or yawn WITHOUT attempting to cover their nose or mouth!! Sneeze all over the place, and don't even get out a handkerchief.

People who don't clear up after their dog poos in the park, pavement, road, YOUR garden gate etc!! And then get abusive if you challenge them about it! (Well you did ask for "pet" peeves) Lol :-)

We all know the pitfalls of cell phones, but the biggest wind up merchants are those using them in a restaurant (and the proprietor doesn't say anything!)..

[Darrenlass77]

Nah, the worst offenders are those using them at work, leaving their mobile phone on their desk then going off somewhere else. Their phone rings and us co-workers don't know whether to answer it or not !! I really hate silly mobile ring tunes as well, what is wrong with "ring, ring, ring" rather than some complicated do, dah, do, dah, do, do (repeat 20 times).

[Pippa68]

When people start a sentence with 'basically' as I know that what they are going to tell me is going to be far from bloody basic ;o)

Another one is 'at the end of the day' (I use that one, but hate hearing it!) but it's even worse when someone follows it up with ''it gets dark''.

People who fart in queues..that's just plain nasty!

[robbo82]

-People walking very slowly, especially in large groups on the pavement or in a shopping mall, where's there's no way to overtake them.

-People who say 'me and him' rather than 'he and I'

-People queuing in front of you at the supermarket checkout, who have to dash off to get one more thing and don't come back for five minutes, then spend another five minutes packing up their shopping and another five minutes paying for everything.

-People who leave their crusts.

[n00dles]

Hey Pippa

Why do f@rts smell?

So deaf people can enjoy them !! boom boom !!

[Pippa68]

Heh heh :o)

Mr Pippa is the worst..he walks off and blames it on me!

[Aprilis]

People who chew gum with their mouth open....aaargghhh!

Drivers who are totally unaware of anyone else on the road and those who drive like they passed their test at Legoland and have never seen a Highway Code book.

[WendyS]

Unpunctuality & bad manners
People who never say "thank you" for presents.
Individuals who invade our house with their mobile phones constantlu ringing.
Piped music in shops, restaurants, gyms
Noisy & drunken louts
Politicians who always think they know better than the public
Cars being driven with "Boom Boom" music thumping out of open windows.
Will stop now before the BBC come and audition me for the next edition of "Grumpy Old Women".
