Pet Peeves

Everyone has pet peeves, right? Little things that, for some reason, just bug the crap out of you....!

I thought for fun, I'd list 10 of my pet peeves. I'm sure most of us can relate to some of these. They are:

1. I hate it when I go to a fast food place, and they have the ketchup or napkins behind the counter. What the heck?

2. I hate those networks or tv shows that dedicate 99% of air time to either Brittney Spears, Paris Hilton, or Lindsay Lohan. I don't care about these shells of people that are as deep as a puddle. Who cares?!

3. I hate "nothing talk" or "small talk". I honestly want to throw up when I hear people talking about nothing. I understand that sometimes small talk is necessary to break the ice, but people that talk about nothing all day really bug.

4. I hate political correctness.

5. I hate NASCAR. It's not a sport. It's an excuse for w.t. to get together and eat moon pies and bbq and scope on relatives.

5. I hate it when professional athletes think they are a god, just because they can throw a ball well or shoot a ball accurately. Give me a break.

5. I hate Utah drivers. As soon as a drop of rain hits the ground, or if a cop just happens to be parked on the side of the freeway, everyone MUST decelerate to 35 mph. UHH!

6. I hate cats. They give nothing back. They shed. And, they are snobby. Say what you will, but cats are like a stuck up hot chick. They just put their noses in the air at you, even if you are the one feeding it and providing it shelter.

7. I hate the Disney Channel. If I wanted cheese, I'd order a pizza.

8. I hate it when I make reservations at a restaurant, and then I get there and they make me wait a while for my table.

9. I hate it when, on the road, people get all peeved when you quickly tap your horn at them, because they have failed to notice that the light has turned green. It's not my fault you suck.

10. I hate the style of "emo's". You know those guys, that are like 70 pounds, and wear pants that are skin tight from the waist down to the very bottom. They try to look all grungy, with messed up hair. When, really, they've paid hundreds of dollars to look like a dumpster just spat them out. What a joke.

i'd have to agree with a lot of your pet-peeves. Who likes cats anyway?? Sassy was a good cat.. but other than that every other cat has just sucked! Those fast food r.r. that put ketchup behind the counters are just trying to save a buck. ANNOYING! Anywho, i'll see ya soon at the grad party.

Want to know one of my pet peeves? You, eating cereal, which you happen to be doing right now.... If only I had known.

My Number 1 Pet peeve, at least that I can think of right now: When standing in a line at any store, and suddenly a second lane opens up, and all the people who are in your line behind you rushing over to get ahead of you, Despite the fact that I was in line before them. I hate it, absolutely hate it.

Matt, I think we were twins seperated at birth and about 10 years.

My biggest pet peeve is when you are trying to merge onto the interstate and the idiot behind you speeds up and cuts you off before you can safely merge into traffic and causes you to nearly run out of merge lane.

I also hate it when two friends pass see each other in oncoming lanes and stop to chat blocking all traffic both ways on the road.

We have a lot of teens in our neighborhood and they do it ALL the time and it is making me postal.

I know, I’m starting to suffer from geriatric grumpitis.

Holley,

I've never heard the term, "geriatric grumpitis" before, but that is hilarious!!!

I agree with these pet peeves. They had a great quote at work about cats...it said that cats used to be worshiped as gods and even 3,000 years has passed, they still demand to be treated as such.

I can relate with a few of those. Lately, my biggest pet peeve is people who use the handicapped parking place. At Garrett's school we are required to walk the kids in, not just drop them off. There are inevitably women with their one child parking in that lane, I want to tell them to get off their high horse and walk like the rest of us. I swear there are way too many people with entitlement issues. Thanks for letting me vent.
