Pet Peeves

pp is rude people on the bus

Mike is a bus driver. I'm sure he'd give you props for that one!

I grew up as the oldest of four kids, and the nicest we ever had was a 3-bedroom, 1-bath house. My latest pet peeve is those spoiled young rich couples on HGTV who have one kid, go house hunting, and complain that a 5-bedroom house is too small.

pp gossips ... and people who try to destroy others.

On online forums, when you respond to someone's cry for help with words of encouragement and then they write another post, right after your post, but totally ignoring yours. (And they definitely had time to read what you wrote.)

Disrespectful people in general.

Those who think their lives are "perfect" and they can't admit "wrong" but can look at your life and find a million things wrong with it.

Oy, it really bugs me when my boss talks sometimes. I'm not even sure why he does it, but he often tells people he's "a close friend" with someone or he "has a tight relationship" with them. He spends all his time promoting himself. He spends so much time trying to *look* like he's better than me (I'm second in seniority), rather than spending his time doing the work that would prove himself a leader.

And his definition of "close friend" is ridiculous. He stops by someone's desk once a week to chit chat for two minutes and he considers that being "a close friend." Meanwhile, I work with that person every day. And he tries to give other people the impression that there's something he could get done by talking to that person that I couldn't get done. His deceitfulness is painful to be around.

I know, this is more of a vent than a peeve, but I'm hoping y'all wouldn't mind my stretching the definition for this one. I really needed to get that off my chest. Phew!

My current pet peeve is people who just DON'T get it that an apology includes the words "I'm sorry."

 

[Jenster]

How about "I'm sorry IF I did something to offend you" rather than "I'm sorry THAT I did something to offend you"?? The "if" is so weasly, imho.

 

[LovebirdsFlying]

Yeah, I agree, but even the "if" is better than no "I'm sorry" at all....

So is "I'm sorry you were hurt," which is still a bit weasly 'cuz it doesn't admit wrong, but I'll take it.

Yup, not saying "I'm sorry" can hardly be considered an apology. Chalk it up to pride, I guess!

A not-quite-peeve, but still odd: When someone compliments a change in your appearance by saying, "You look SO MUCH BETTER than before! SO MUCH BETTER!" I try to take it in a positive sense, but still ... very odd way of wording it. It's like, wow, did you think I looked hideous before?

Hubby Mike contributes this pet peeve: Retail businesses that ask for your phone number. "Look, I'm in here to buy shoes. What possible reason do you have for needing my phone number?"

 

[Moms4Christ]

People that whine about others not repping them back!!! Is that not the most silly thing you've ever heard. When I rep, I expect nothing in return. Sheesh, guys...grow up and get a life already! TSK TSK

 

[lavenderbees]

My pet peeve: when people (Narcissists) use you to get what they want. (Narcissists: conmen, manipulators, blackmailers, liars)

Peeve: people who 'travel' from one subject to another without taking a breath and without a care for what the original topic was or the fact that we haven't finished discussing that original topic. I just sit there, like, ... ... and ...

 

[Mrs Butterworth]

People who smell bad, unless they have a good reason to smell bad.

 

[Moms4Christ]

Aaah! Good idea! I'll pass it along, thanks.

You are most welcome!

crazy drivers, liars, people in stores that you say hello to and they don't speak- whatever, busy stores with 1 or 2 cashiers, people picking their noses, lemon car dealers with terrible mechanics, online pop up pervy adds, impatient people, women who yell to the top of the lungs at their children in the store for attention, pervy phone tv commercials, whiney kids,and my favorite- like someone mentioned- when you respond and no one responsed but does to the other post.
