Pet Peeves

[LovebirdsFlying]

I hate that when they do that. Or when you call your friend and it seems like that is the only time that their husband wants to talk to them....and you can hear them in the background.

My daughter's BF does that while she's on the phone with me. She can't carry on two conversations at once, you bozo!

those on CF that judge you, when they don't even know you.

Absolutely agree!!

How about giving someone advice or just a statement and someone jumps on you like you said something that shouldn't be said or that you are just plain stupid for making such a comment!

 

[LovebirdsFlying]

People who take information that you shared with them, and turn it around and use it against you. I am an abuse survivor and have a depressive disorder, for example, and I once goofed up by telling a co-worker that I had it. I was never again taken seriously by that co-worker, who wrote me off as "crazy," treated me like an idiot, and my input didn't count. That'll teach me.

I have a friend who does that. I'm just saying something simple and she jumps all over me because she interprets what I'm saying and adds a spin to it -- instead of taking it at face value.

Yeah, I've sadly learned not to say things to some people. I used to be a very open, trusting person. But I got burned one too many times by gossips and people who are failing in the area of sensitivity.

Peeve: People who fail in the area of sensitivity.

Other peeve: People who are incredibly shallow and self-promoting, yet inexplicably popular. That REALLY annoys me.

I absolutely agree with you there, I am a survivor also.

sorry that people treat you that way....I hate that mentality....I would say--GROW UP!

I was a teacher so at one time had my own daughter in my class. So it was assumed by all the parents that I was giving my daughter special priveleges and favoritism in my class--when it was totally the opposite!! I'm harder on my own children then the others! Argh......

Being nice and being taken advantage of it!

 

[Jenster]

Ooh, that is the pits, One day at a time!

 

[One day at a time]

It then makes you leary of anyone that needs help!! You want to second quess their motives....so sad

PP: The price of water in my town. It's more expensive than my electric and gas combined in the winter.

 

[One day at a time]

That is the pits!! I just hate how it is all sooooo expensive--even when you try and cut down!

 

[Jenster]

I get peeved when I speak out when someone is doing something unfair, and the person I'm talking to dismisses it. They refuse to acknowledge that what I am saying about the person is true. That really gets my goat. Always has.

Similar to One Day At a Time, it also peeves me when people react to my kindness like I'm weak. Then they treat me a certain way and it makes me mad. I don't feel I should have to threaten people in order for them to act properly. And yet, I end up being the one who suffers -- why?

 

[One day at a time]

So understand Jenster!

How about when you give good advice (I mean really helpful advice that that person needs to know) and they look at you with a totally blank face as if you never even said anything to them. Ugh...that is infuriating!

 

[HighLonesome]

When the moderators at CF pull your response because of the truth it contains!

 

[One day at a time]

getting a pm when you are in the middle of something and then accidently hit the wrong word and it jumps to it before you are ready for it!

 

[LovebirdsFlying]

When I see others getting away with something I caught heck for doing--and if I point it out, shame on me, because that makes me a squealer.
