Pet Peeves

[thriftyEvie]

I'm a traveling nurse,so I only have a certain time limit to get to my clients house,so my pet peeve is the traffic is either too slow,or there is a semi truck who doesn't know when to turn or even a snow plow in the winter,it just urkes me.(and then my cell is ringing & in NY, we get a ticket 4 being on the phone in our cars. Can't win)

People who ask you to share your thoughts on a particular topic, but then when you ask them what they think about it, they say they don't have any opinion. Me: "So ... why exactly did you want to know what I thought????" (combined with: "So you just wasted my time for *what* reason?")

 

[thriftyEvie]

sorry,but I am venting here.
When people don't thank you for the things you do for them.

 

[Jenster]

I hear you, thriftyEvie. Uh-hunh.

 

[thriftyEvie]

people who chew their food loud,where were their parents when manners were to be taught.

Just wanted to share a moment of "justice," praise God. Since we all have peeves that discourage us, I thought it might be nice to share an encouragement that the Lord *is* at work.

Well, I was trying to get people at work to help with a department-wide project last week. One guy did half of one task, then didn't bother to finish it. Another woman, even when specifically asked, helped for a little while then sat down at her desk. I asked again. She helped a little, then left a mess.

So guess what? Now my boss has put them IN CHARGE of the departmental project. Woo-hoo! I can't help but think that, had they acted rightly in the first place, it wouldn't have come to this. Reaping what they sowed.

Being "warned" by someone who doesn't know me or my spiritual life--that I am wrong and need to get right with God. (Really?!! When did they become the Holy Spirit in my life?)

All of the waitresses at a local family restaurant wear extremely short skirts and shirts with plunging necklines. (If you get my drift. ) I feel like I need to cover my kids' eyes when we're waited on.

Put some decent clothes on!

and it is suppose to be a "family restaurant"?


Someone who says they are going to come over and you wait and wait and they never show up!

Someone driving on your tail and then whips around you and almost causes an accident---that would have involved us.....!

Oh yeah, HELLO! My saying for dangerous drivers: I'm fine if you kill yourself, but don't you dare take me with you!!

When someone overreacts ("What do you mean by that??" "Huh? What's that? How come?") to the very innocuous things you say. It's like they project something onto you and it's the worst possible interpretation. Such a headache to be around!

Someone who can laugh at you but when they do something that is funny and you laugh they get mad! That is frustrating!!

 

[One day at a time]

my married daughter coming over and then sitting there and ask.....what is for supper....I'm starving! And then start acting like a baby b/c we aren't eating right away! She never acted that way before she was married--what happened?

Sorry, ODAAT, but this made me chuckle. There is NOTHING like Mom's cooking no matter what your age.

The next time she does this tell her you would like her to take you out to dinner, then proceed to order the lobster.

No problem for the laughing ! We just shook our head like "WHAT?". My husband was like where did she come from?!! So it is pretty funny--in a pet peevish sort of way.
Oh and she used to work at Red Lobster---and she did take us out and let us order whatever we wanted!! Yea!! It was good!
