Pet Peeves

[classycaveman]

The phrase "Everything happens for a reason."

Restaurants that claim they'll make you two eggs any style, but when you ask for scrambled, you get fried eggs chopped up into little bits and cooked until there's no moisture left.

Good porn that doesn't end with a facial. So disappointing.

I had forgotten about putting on the toothepaste lid, lol. I got lucky. My boyfriend puts it on & I trained my kids right, lol. It also helps that we brush our teeth in the shower. Leaving the lid off means totally gross no longer tooth paste because it gets all liquidy and stuff. YUCK!

As for putting the toilet paper the right way....as long as they put it on the holder I'm good.

I've got one for you, lol. How about SITTING the toilet paper on the holder instead of through the hole! A friend of ours did that last weekend and boyfriend just about lost it! My kids got blamed until she spoke up, lol.

UGGH I cant stand that one either. Or worse yet when someone sets the toilet paper on the back of the toilet so you have to twist up like a pretzel to reach it . Or ( god forbid ) the whole dam roll falls in the toilet and I have to fish out a 15lb log of wet TP out of the toilet

Gods! The TP on the back of the toilet!

We will set one on the counter for when the one in use is done but we don't have to try to be an owl to get it from behind us!

Another pet peeve: doing things (expected or not) and having them go unnoticed and unappreciated!

[southerndreams]

people that want to spend time with you but then end up on their cells part or all of the time. I understand that you have other things to do in life but I don't want to feel like part of a to do list. I put mine on vibrate so should you.

Also parents that tell their children not to use double negatives and then utter something like "them there sammiches don't need nothing else on them". I wonder where your child gets it.

ordering when you are on your phone. This is the single rudest thing ever. Don't complain if your order is wrong if you can't even get off of your phone.

That drives me crazy too! Proper spelling/grammar is HUGE for me!

Oh my gosh! As a server INSANE! I purposely wait for them to hang up before I approah the table and if they comment on slow service, I have no issue telling them why.

another was brought to light this afternoon. it's flooding here in nashville and it irritates me to no end the number of people that go out in this. they put their lives in danger and sometimes the lives of their children. mine is also in danger as they are being selfish and wanting me to stay open. I have no problem telling them that my store is closing because the safety of my employees is more important than them being too lazy to cook

1. Using the word "like" when you aren't comparing anything!
2. People who do not take their shoes off at the door! Ew! I don't know what in and where you have been walking!
3. Inhospitable behavior!!!
4. Using a cell phone or texting when you are in a social setting!!!
5. Bad table manners!!
6. People who slow down because they are coming to a tunnel!
7. People who have to tell you the ending of a book or movie that you plan on reading/seeing!
8. Not replacing TP, bath towels, toothpaste or refilling/replacing water,milk, juice,coffee etc if you are the last to use it!!
9. Having to wade through cigarette smoke at the entrance to a building.
10. Whining!

It's and its
there, their and they're
using apostrophes on plurals "I am going to have bagel's"

Using txt speak ("r u going 2nite?") in online forums and other places where there is no limit on number of characters in a message.

Ciel - you took mine! This is my biggest pet peeve. On Facebook - someone I went to high school with does this all the time and it makes him look soooo unintelligent!

rode - road He said "I road my bike today." Really???
accept - except
your - you're
through - threw
are - our
very - vary

These are some that I have noticed he does and that I have seen on here occasionally.

And text speak - hate it! I told my 11 year old daughter that I better not catch her doing this. If she sends me a text that has u, r, btw - I make her resend it written correctly.

I very rarely use text speak, usually it is because I'm in a hurry to get the text out and get on with what I'm doing. Then again, I don't text all that often to begin with. lol (<--one text speak that I do use often)

Bad grammar is a huge pet peeve for me. But one that has come to light for me recently that has been royally getting on my nerves and even cost me one "friend" on FB... perpetuating false rumors!!! FB is not going to charge us for services, Spokeo.com or whatever it is called is a typical background check site and all of your "private" information is available to anyone who has the cash to pay for it anyways, etc. It was that last one that cost me the "friend" because I guess she thought I was saying that a credit score is public info, but who knows as she won't respond to me.

Pet Peeve: pointed comments. My MIL said to me yesterday, in response to learning I have GD, "Well hopefully this will help you to eat less sweets!" in a cheery "helpful" tone of voice. ... *glare* Pre-preg my sweets had been limited to one Dew a day and the occasional treat, and by occasional I mean maybe once a week it that often. I have problems with the in-laws, but that's another topic all together.
