I just thought of one in my bathroom the other day.

People who use up the last bit of toilet paper, forcing the unwary and soiled to wander the house in search of something to wipe with.

The rage and urge to kill is almost comparable to the self-pity and fruitless questioning aloud. Especially when she's gone at the time and not present to be excoriated.

m5lange1 · Aug 15, 2004, 06:45 pm

Calling a BUSINESS to do BUSINESS and getting a machine telling me how important my call is but but to waste some of MY time waiting on hold since they do not want to waste THEIR time.

I may just be getting to be a cranky old fart but I miss the days when service was as important as price.

CmJour · Aug 16, 2004, 05:36 pm

People who use the elevator to go to the second floor

Stupid hurricanes making me miss my favorite TV show

People who honk at me when I can't go anywhere

Employees at a fast food place who can't think independently of how the menu says the food should be.

Door to door missionaries who can't speak english and still give me their pamphlets, which are in spanish, after I told them "No hablo espanol".

People who make dogmatic pronouncements and then act like truth is relative when criticized

PatrickHenry · Aug 17, 2004, 12:38 am

Here's one from today. I drive the F150 into the Ace Hardware parking lot. Every space is filled with a car except the two "disabled" ones in front of the doors. That is so stupid, to leave the best parking spots vacant with an overcrowded lot, just so someone with a sticker has a great place in case they need it. Half the time you see the driver isn't disabled anyhow, but that's another peeve.

I parked on the grass...

castille · Aug 17, 2004, 03:26 am

I hate chardonnay socialists (or chardonnay ANYTHING). People who take a sip of their wine, comment on the poverty of the Middle East, and never lift a fucking finger.

Social thieves piss me off too. People who steal and say "I'm doing this because I hate the corporation". I don't mind thieves, but at least be honest - you're a thief because you want free stuff!

Failures who blame others also annoy me.

Paavo · Aug 17, 2004, 09:18 am

People who are adults and "debate" with words/phrases like

- Oh yeah?!
- Try again.
- Yeah, good luck with that
- What, so [sarcasm here], then huh?
- ROFL LOL u serioues??!1
- Uhm....yeah...sure...whatever etc etc

tuula · Aug 17, 2004, 01:21 pm

people who smell like b.o. such a small gesture to put on deo in the morning and you save the suffering of all those people stuck in tight spaces with you such as an elevator or the line in a store!

PatrickHenry · Aug 27, 2004, 05:56 pm

When driving at night: why do those with "driving lights" not realize they are actually blinding oncoming drivers with their quad headlights?

Why won't the cops issue tickets for not dimming?

Pale RIder · Sep 1, 2004, 12:58 pm

I view pet peeves as a warning sign to myself...It has been my experience that if something that another person does (that is not an overt attack) pisses me off, it is often something that I need to work on myself...Look at your pet peeves, and then take a long honest look at yourself and see if you don't find that very behavior (or something damned similar)in yourself..

Gorgo · Sep 1, 2004, 01:07 pm

Well, said, Pale Rider. Except for my pet peeve, which just happens to be Dave Barry. Who hired this guy? Who thinks this stuff is funny?

Seriously, email me and tell me more about your ideas. I am in full agreement.

Seeker_Of_Sins · Sep 3, 2004, 12:01 am

Pet peeves, hehehehe, so many

Fat people who stand in the smallest part of the aisle blocking everyones path

People with colds that hoink down phelgm in the smoko room rather than blowing their noses

Syncronised adds on public TV, no matter what channel you go to they have adds on the same time as every other channel

Loud exhausts on cars with idiot drivers that zoom along at the maximum loudness throttle after 10pm in a resdential street

Blue hair on old ladies, where did this phenomenon come from anyway? Is Marge Simpson to blame?

Wet and cold Sundays followed by hot sunny Mondays

American elections, sheesh it lasts longer than their stupid football game,(by the time it's over nobody even cares anymore)

People who use spray on deoderizer as an air freshener

bugsbunny04 · Sep 3, 2004, 02:50 am

Spitters.

The Black Flag · Sep 8, 2004, 06:01 am

People who hits someone, because they're mad at something the person did, then get whiney and pissy when they get hit back...wtf did the asshole expect?

Parents who argue with their kids, then get bitchy when the kid tries to defend theirself. What are they suppose to do? Listen to an asshole like them?

People who harrasses someone, then bitches when the person gets pissed and tells them to fuck off or hit them.

People who can't play an instrument, but insist you listen to them, because they're really "badass".

Numero uno for me are the jack-offs who speed up when I put on my turn signal, to change lanes. They do not stop me from changing lanes, and they must be terribly surprised when I hit my brakes as soon as I am safely in front of them.

Scribbler1 · Sep 25, 2004, 07:31 pm

People who don't at least NOD, or say thanks when you hold a door open for them. This is forcing me to reevaluate my decades old practice of doing this for everyone (guys say thanks more than women on the whole).

Unpleasant old people who think you OWE them respect simply because they haven't died yet. You EARN it, you GET it, Methuselah!

People who assume you LIKE to hear country music blaring out of the back of their vans at 10:00 pm.

The aforementioned ads in theaters shown before the movie. Free TV is one thing, but I PAID to see this flick and I don't want to see any damn commercials. Also, the 137 movie trailers you get when you buy or rent a DVD.

Useless morons who dump their garbage NEXT to the trash can at McDonalds.

I have several more but I have to go out and buy a shotgun. "Okay, Cletus, THIS is what I think of Merle Haggard!"

PatrickHenry · Jan 8, 2005, 01:28 am

My wife snores every night. Sometimes it's okay and I can tune it out. But sometimes it really frustrates me and I wake her up or make her turn over and snore towards the wall instead of in my ear...

trixmix · Jan 8, 2005, 06:42 am

I have got tons...But here's a few that really chap my hide!

The unavoidable idiots at crowded shopping malls or amusement parks, that pick the center of the aisle, to regroup, with their strollers and 6 family members, as they stop & ponder & point to where they are heading next...as people plow into them and they don't even notice

The idiots who are going straight and at the last minute before a light that is green, they veer over in the right hand lane that has a turning option, that you are in, trying to make the light and turn right... yet...you can't turn right because the guy going straight just got in front of you and slowed down...caused the light to go red and still hasn't a clue to inch forward so the poor sucker behind him can squeeze thru on the right & make their right turn...

The bastard that wants to stay in your direct lane change position...and wont budge...so everytime you speed up to pass him, he speeds up, yet when you slow down to let him go on he slows down! I have to literally almost come to a complete stop in the middle of the lane I am in, to make the guy just go past me...Its so annoying...

The chatty people who love to talk about stupid stuff, usually ranting on like Cliff Clavin, on a good day...yet if you want to at least get in on the conversation, they can't even let you contribute to it, they don't hear you and keep on talking...

People that can't hear more than 1 digit of a phone number at a time, when you are reading it too them...
That can't hear it as 867-5309 - It's gotta be...one painstaking digit at a time
8...wait wait wait 8...k
6...wait wait, 6 k
7...ok, 7...go ahead
....5 wait wait, 5 k I got it go ahead...
3 ...whoa whoa slow down 3...ok go ahead
.... 0 uh huh 0 ok
....9.and..9 ok i got it...
