Pet Peeves

[public hermit]

People who ride my tail. I drive the speed limit (it's not a sin). I go to work on a two-lane country road. They ride my tail and then pass me on a hill. I think to myself, "They're going to get us killed, for what?" And then, we meet at the gas station. All that and we get to the same place at the same time. Ugh, it makes me want to kick rocks.

MISSING a disgusting bug with a fly swatter that’s IN MY BEDROOM, what am I drunk, how did I miss!!??? I had a clear shot at it that a 6 year old could have made ugh, it’s now been 20 minutes and I have no clue where it went it just disappeared.

Someone parking on the yellow line in a street that is only 2 gnats wide.

 

[LaSorcia]

When someone leaves a small bit of food in the pan, not even enough for 1/2 portion, just so they don't have to clean the pan.

^ I'd call that smart thinking.

When people driving can't bother to move their fingers two inches to use their blinker.

 

[mama2one]

But blinkers are such a waste. Who actually uses them? No one I know!

that's why radio contest heard recently while driving -
answer was "not using blinkers" for what's bugs us most about other people's driving!

mine is "people who pull out forcing one to brake"
they can't wait 2 seconds for me to drive by!

 

[Lost4words]

Bum sniffing! I refuse to do it....woof!

 

[LaSorcia]

Yeah, especially when there's no car behind you!

And also, referring to turn signals as 'blinkers'.

Preachers that only "yell" (as of late)

Preachers that are always saying Amen? throughout their sermon. There have been a couple that I have heard that their Amen? has given me the impressive that they are insecure about what they are preaching (not just regular nervousness and wanting reassurance), but wanting reassurance that their interpretation is correct.

 

[Chesterton]

Preachers that start every sentence of their prayer with "I just want to...".

 

[KateforChrist]

People who FaceTime or carry on conversions using a speaker phone in public places.

At least you get to hear both sides of the conversation.

 

[KateforChrist]

God's rainbow being stolen. I've recently changed over my car key lanyard from rainbow colours because I don't want people thinking that I am supporting LGBT (and whatever other letters they have added). Also because I am a female who can't stand having my hair long so in summer it is really short and people possibly thinking that I am a lesbian.

 

[KateforChrist]

Preachers that start every sentence of their prayer with "I just want to...".

When people pray and about every fourth or fifth word is Lord, sort of using it like a comma or giving themselves enough time to think of what to say next.

 

[jameseb]

And also, referring to turn signals as 'blinkers'.

I heard that!

That pistachio you just can't crack open.

 

[LaSorcia]

That pistachio you just can't crack open.

Who are you calling nuts???

 

[KateforChrist]

And also, referring to turn signals as 'blinkers'.

I don't care what they call them. I just wish they would use them (and the correct way).

 

[LaSorcia]

I don't care what they call them. I just wish they would use them (and the correct way).

Thank you for sharing.

 

[KateforChrist]

Not having shelves that go high enough to store all the junk that's lying around elsewhere.

Having plenty of cupboards but when things are put away forgetting what you have or where you have put it.

 

[jameseb]

Who are you calling nuts???

If the nut fits...

People who don't wash their hands after leaving the bathroom.

Projecting again?
