pet peeves

oompaloompa · #1 03-17-2010

does that phrase exist in US? Anyway, it means things that annoy you..

I hate, people in front of you on a plane that recline their seat, what they gain in space, I lose! I used to sit and seeth, but now I ask them to straighten in as it is cutting my space, some do it, and others dont..I resent having to ask, because it causes confrontation potentially, espeacilly as if they dont do it or are rude to me, I have to repeatedly kick their seat throughout the flight in revenge...

dog poop, hate it so much, hate it in parks and on the sidewalk....they should have dog-only parks
- people dont poop on the street, little kids dont, so why should dogs be allowed to.....

I hate it when people invade my personal space, like in line at the supermarket or the bank. Why do some people think it's okay to stand so close that you can almost smell their breath.... eeewwwww

And people that have colds and cough and sneeze in public without covering their mouths, double eeewwwwwww

Yes that word does exist in the USA. I have to agree with you that those are some of my pet peeves as well.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people drive in the left lane when they aren't passing anyone!!! UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

oompaloompa · #5 03-17-2010

people that drive up your bum on the freeway, and flash their lights at you, cos they want you to move....I wish so much they would end up crashing without harming anyone else....

philly387 · #6 03-17-2010

The only time I'll ride someone's a$$ is if they are driving in the left lane going slower than everyone in the right lane, or just driving in the left lane for the hell of it not passing anyone.

Sometimes I will just get in front of them and slow wayyyy the f*ck down until they get in the right lane then just speed right on out of there

People who take forever at the ATM machine.

People that say smoking is bad for you, duh.

People yelling into their speaker phone at the gas station.

Drug addicts

Amazon account reviews

"Smoking is bad for you"

I say it because I know people hate hearing it

Then I laugh...

I think I will go out on a limb here and speak for almost everybody on the forum. Anything to do with Paypal is my big one. Except for when I get money from them

oompaloompa · #10 03-18-2010

hate smokers in restaurants, you still get that on holiday in Europe, even when you eat outdoors it blows over you...

slow drivers, when Im in a hurry, which is usually always...usually old people who cant see over steering wheel....

I hate it when people try to escape when you have spent ages tying them up and locking them in the cellar.

You return home to find them loose and screaming like banshee's

I find it exceedingly annoying.

Neo- Ive a good tip for you, fill the cellar with your used underwear, it acts as an anaesthetic....

YouTube - Lorry pushes car down at 60 mph in Yorkshire

saw this on news today, and it illustrates why I hate big trucks on freeway...they are a menace...

NZT · #14 03-19-2010

LMAO, hey Oomp I bet the underwear of the car driver would have had some interesting contents.

I particularly like the "psycho" truck driver. lol was the truck gaining speed?

I guess he was like "come in front of me will you? come in front of me will you"

Or he was like "sh** my brakes have failed"

Also if the latter is the case then the same would probably be true of condition of the truck drivers underpants.

Don't you hate it when your using a public washroom and it's all dirty. EWWW..

oompaloompa · #16 03-19-2010

I avoid restrooms altogether but if I really have to, I do the old touch all doors and flush with kleenex over my hands, and keep my heiney up from seat (hey stop picturing me doing that...!), the ones on planes are yuk....I went in to one in Belgium once and it looked like someones bum had exploded on the walls....

jbluntz · #17 03-19-2010

I don't like ciggerette smoke much either but I like smoking the hooka every now and then, I still do hill sprints and can outrun anyone. The main thing I hate is when people stare, it's like wtf are you looking at? what do you want me to do? blow you a kiss? tap dance? other than girls of course, nothing worse then some hairy guy in his 50's just staring you down, talk about creepy.

oompaloompa · #18 03-20-2010

^^I avoid the tube/subway because of that..weirdos looking at you and trying to talk to you, and even putting their hands on you!! disgusting vermin...
plus on the bus there is always a nut talking to themselves....
I drive wherever I can, but London has got so expensive to park, it will literally cost you $40 for an hour on a meter....

if someone stares at you, if you suddenly jump towards them they stop looking real quick!

jbluntz · #19 03-20-2010

I prefer walking or biking for now since cars in the shop, you don't need to drive much when you work from home and when you do parking is mostly free over here plus i steer clear from weirdos other wise somebody is getting their a$$ beat and its not gonna be me (I learned that from experience). I've been driving for years it feels so much better to walk or bike to the store and just drive on the weekends.
