Pet Peeves

[lavenderbees]

When people ignore your posts throughout an entire thread and then close the thread down because they didn't like what you said.

People who don't work hard even though there's work to do, then complain that it is "slow" at work.

People who don't take full responsibility. They do the part that they want to do, then leave the rest undone, thus messing up other people.

When I have carefully done everything I need to do--but plans and schedules somehow get messed up because of *someone else's* incompetence. For example, showing up for a very important appointment, and then finding out that the person who should have notified me that it was moved to somewhere else, didn't. And then, of course, I end up missing it through no fault of my own. I sure hate that.

as someone mentioned earlier, when you post and someone cuts you down, argh!

Oh gosh, I hate that too!

I hate it when someone habitually "forgets" to do things he promises people he'll do. Someone who does not live up to his word.

When a off-topic sideline argument breaks out in a CF thread, then you post something directly relating to the OP, and it's ignored because everyone's too caught up in the sideline argument.

I could point to a couple of places right now where this is happening.

when the guy next to you in traffic rushes by ya ,to then be stopped at a red light- I sure love it!

Argh. Help. I am unbelievably peeved tonight. At everyone and everything (present company excepted, of course ). Boss who lies. Co-worker who is willfully "not getting it." Roommate who isn't being forthcoming with information. Friend who is bossy. Time for me to go to bed -- I'm clearly in a bad mood.

People who say they are your friend, even family members, and then when something happens to you they all disappear. What happened to communication and caring?

 

[Jenster]

^ Indeed.

My peeve is people who put on too much perfume. One of my friends (and I've brought it up with her politely but now I'll have to be brutally blunt) wears a suffocating amount of perfume. It is designed to attract, but instead the strong scent overpowers and REPELS.

I'm with you there! I have allergies and these people walk into the room and I can't even breathe!!

I really hate it when people assume, before even letting me actually try something, that I'm going to mess it up. They don't let me try, and they just jump right in and do it for me, or they snatch it out of my hands at the first sign of struggle, instead of letting me learn. I hate that so much. Do I have "stupid" stamped on my forehead or something?

 

[Jenster]

^ Aaargh!

My mom used to do that all the time. I just figure it means people can't control themselves and they actually want to do it. It's sad, but I try not to take it personally. They don't actually want to teach anyone else. A good teacher understands the learning process and focuses on the students' needs and development -- not their own needs for satisfaction. It's not you, LovebirdsFlying; it's them. And yeah, it sure is ANNOYING!

Ok, how about when you are talking to someone (say a doctor) and because you are a woman and a blonde--they think you are stupid and really don't know what you're talking about! Yeah, don't call me stupid!! I do have a brain!

Doctors are really bad about that. You don't even have to be blonde. I once went to ER with what turned out to be a blocked ureter, and the ER doctor told me, "It's called a ureter, but you just tell your doctor 'kidney tube,' and he'll understand." Even if I hadn't already known what a ureter was, am I so stupid I wouldn't have been able to remember the word after he told me? Another doctor ridiculed me for taking my oldest daughter in with an eye infection, and I told him, "I'm concerned she has pinkeye." The doctor scoffed and said, "No, she doesn't have pinkeye. She just has a little bit of conjunctivitis." Hello! It's the same thing. And I'm not too dumb to know that.

What's up with them?

I went to the dr. for strep or sinus infection--and b/c I was coming from work and dressed up--he was like "Well, you don't look sick!" And then when he looked in my throat he said "Oh yeah you have an infection--so what do you think I should prescribe for you?" But then he turned around and said "Well, just look that way and count the red cars going by."......I was like WHAT?!! He treated me like a child--so I reported him to the hospital board that he was on!

"Buyer beware" -- that's my motto when I post for advice now ub a certain area of CF. Geez, there are a lot of people who don't even listen to your problem before they start giving "advice" that doesn't even apply to your situation. Thanks fer nuthin'!

I'm peeved that I'm so easily peeved.
