Re: What are your pet peeves?

This is one of mine, too. I love my bestfriend to death, but when we make plans they get canceled or changed probably 70% of the time.

And, usually at the last minute, too, I bet.

Sometimes, people in general are my pet peeve!

Re: What are your pet peeves?

The use of this smiley - ;) for anything other than actual flirting. It comes across as incredibly patronising.

I'm not trying to be funny or pick on you...but you DO realize you do that w/ the :ninja smiley, right??? LOL

Additionally, people who yap away at you when you've got headphones on listening to things whilst using a computer. Yes, I understand you want to say something and want my attention. If you do, wave your hand or something rather than yapping away and expecting me to automatically notice you have something to say. All I hear is a faint mumbling. Especially annoying if I'm busy doing something and it's quite apparent I am.

Ugh, that's on my list, too. My mom will just start talking and I'll suddenly realize she's talking to me, pull one earphone away from my ear, and say "huh???" Bugs me at work, too, b/c we have noise-canceling headphones for when we make tapes for work so I can't hear CRAP when I have them on.

And, usually at the last minute, too, I bet.

Yeah, usually. Half the time it's that one of them is sick, but a lot of the time it's just that they don't feel like going out or something. I'm just the type of person that if I tell you I'll go somewhere or do something, I'm going to be there unless I have an emergency come up.

An easier list for me would be things that *aren't* pet peeves. I just generally don't like people very much.

Re: What are your pet peeves?

Many listed I totally agree with because they peeve me too. A lot of them stem from inconsiderate people.

those who expect that because of a situation they should be entitled to things, ask first, don't presume

Re: What are your pet peeves?

Well I like using ;) so there! I don't have head phones on a lot but I am on the phone a lot at work and people CONSTANTLY come up to me at my desk and start talking to me too. HELLO, I don't hear you or the person the the phone and that pisses me off. If I'm on the phone sit down (I have an extra chair) and shut up.

Let's see pet peeves...... people either turning w/o using their turn signal or conversely having their turn signal on and going straight for several blocks.

People talking while their chewing ... :yuk

People spitting in public!

I too echo whomever said people smoking near entrance/exits

Gosh it's lucky I don't have any habits that drive others crazy, well except this one ;)

Re: What are your pet peeves?

People who spit every 5 seconds onto the floor. It's just disgusting and I always get an urge to pass them a tissue and ask if they are diseased or just ill-mannered.
Bad drivers, especially drivers who do not indicate.
People who are patronising to me. I just cannot stand to be talked down to. You can explain something something to me without treating me like I am thick. I hate it even more when that person is explaining something I already know.
People who sit right next to me on an empty bus. Why not take one of the other seats?
Lateness for no reason.
People who are miserable about EVERYTHING.

Re: What are your pet peeves?

People who don't repair their fences properly to keep their animals contained. Folks who don't spay/neuter their pets but want help with unwanted litters.

People who take pleasure in destroying other people's property.

People with pets who ignore them.
