That is infuriating! I don't know what makes people think they can ask you things like "What did you eat today?" with that concerned tone.

Ok, here's my big peeve:

Your at a green light, in the left turn lane, and there is traffic coming in the other direction. So what do you do? You pull out into the intersection so a couple of cars can make the left turn on the yellow, right? NO! Not these idiots! They just sit there, back at the line, and wonder why it's taking them so long to get through the intersection. Get some nads and pull out!

Next is just stupid people. I'm sitting in line at Wal-Mart and the couple at the register don't speak english. It would be in their best interest if they could, but they don't. Then these two redneck morons say "I hate it when people speak Mexican. You're in America, speak American."

ITS NOT MEXICAN, IT'S SPANISH YOU ***HOLE! AND IT'S ENGLISH NOT AMERICAN RETARD! Maybe you need some ENGLISH lessons yourself.

People should have to take a test at an early age and if they don't score above a certain score they are not allowed to speak in public.

1. Family gatherings (weddings, funerals, reunions). I can't stand these things. Now there are some phone people and your related to them. You meet some relative for the first time and it turns out that you live in the same neighborhood. You always say that "we need to get together, get to know each other." Do you ever get together, NO. When do you see this person again, if ever, at the next family gathering. And, Why is called a family REunion when more than half of the people have never met before?

2. Have to agree with the fat people in clothes that are too tight. I am fat. there are tons of things that I would like to wear, but face it, some things just are made for slender people and don't look good on larger ones.

3. Relating to the above, clothing catalogs!! I didn't ask for them, but I receive several for stores that deal with clothes for larger people and all the models are FREAKIN SKINNY!!! What looks good on twiggy more than half of the time looks like crap on someone who the store is supposed to cater to. And, horizontal stripes almost never do justice for large people. i don't care what the style of the day may be, forget the horizontal stripes.

4. Same things others have mentioned about traffic.

5. People holding a conversation in the middle of the isle at the store. Even worse when it is with themselves.

6. CEL PHONES!!!!!!! how in h*** did this planet function and evolve in the last 4+billion years without those little electronic pieces of crap. sure they can be handy and they do have thier place, but I don't want to hear your conversation. The fact that little fluffy is trapped outside because the doorknob broke off or your little brother superglued your underwear drawer closed while you were in the shower can wait the 5 minutes until you arrive home.

Thank for the vent. That feels much better.

Another pet peeve: People that creep up to a red light, putting on their brakes every few seconds and then tearing through the intersection when it turns yellow because at least THEY made it through leaving everyone behind them TICKED OFF!
The other day, the light turned red and this lady stopped....about 50 feet in front of the light. It was 2 or three carlengths. She sits there, so far away then slow pokes it through the light when it turned green! aarrghhhhh
And also, people that make a right turn and take forever to do so.
We almost had an accident today when a lady just stopped her car in the left hand lane to take a picture with her digital camera. I just sat there with my eyes closed hearing the screech of tires behind us as people stopped.
My H yelled out the window, "Move your a**! You have people behind you." But she took pictures until she as satisfied. People couldn't even make it pass the green light because she held traffic up.

It's OK Kodi, I was just "harrassing" Nick a little.

And another thing: TELEMARKETERS & SPAMMERS.

Really, need I say more?

[shrill]

I have to admit that there is one pet peeve I have that is appearance related. I think that lining your lips in black eyeliner is very odd and a little gross looking.

[jellybean40]

Any lips where you can see the liner not matching the lipstick is nasty, but again, i guess they think it looks good.

You want to talk about something you cant believe that someone thinks looks good?? i was sitting in the break room last nite with a trucker at work, and he was talking about this girl's makeup. i mean it's CAKED on. the foundation is think as paint, and so are the eyes and lips. its unreal. he asked me why i thought she did it, and i said i had no idea. he said she CANT think it looks good, and someone should tell her. i nominated him

1. I HATE it when I see a pregnant women (or people with kids) smoking!
2. I hate when people honk their horns because the car in front of them is letting somebody use the crosswalk.
3. When total strangers ask how many kids I'm going to have!
4. People who are on their cell phone through the entire meal at the restaraunt! Shut up & eat your food!
5. I hate it when some lady with five pounds of make up and tight clothes is "preaching" about inner beauty, what we look like on the outside doesn't matter! ha! hypocrites!
6. It reeeaallly bothers me when young, healthy men are sitting on a bus and there are old people and pregnant people standing up and nobody offers them a seat. (I see this constantly every time I go to Disney World)
7. people who ask how much money we earn.
8. People who seemingly never bathe their children.
9. People who sit down when shaking hands! stand up, it won't hurt you.
10. People who honk at red lights and want you to go so that they can get through faster.
11. Unflushed toilets in public places
( actually this would bother me at home too).
12. Men who brag about their "units". Nobody wants to hear it! I hear men doing this almost everywhere I go.
13. When the toilet paper is gone and you didn't "notice" in time.
14. People who drive too fast and then shine their highbeams at you because you aren't driving the speed they think you should be driving at.
There's a lot more, but I'll leave it at this

[jellybean40]

I was thinking the same thing! i never hear that. (well, only at O.com now and then).

Maybe it's cuz the guys i hang out with are nicknamed PeeWee and Shorty (just kidding...hahaha... )

[Mitzi1]

I hate lipstick lined in black too. I line my lips with the lipstick I am oing to wear.
I CAN'T STAND NOSY NEIGHBORS!
People who are authoritative,bossy and dominant drive me crazy.
I hate when I am trying to talk to my husband and my son interrupts. He's finally stopped after getting his head bit off.
I can't stand people who think they are better then me.

[Don]

Lower class people who walk in upper class neighborhoods!
