Pet Peeves

[Justawoman]

http://www.my-smileys.de/smileys2/Aargh.jpg I was cleaning up around our home this morning and was chewing on my entire family. So I thought about pet peeves. We all got em and here a few of mine.

1. don't put empty containers back in the cabinet or icebox.
2. If you dropped it pick it up.
3. Tangled electrical wires.
4. Empty hangers hanging in with the clothes.
and finally
5. Rinse out your glass when you have had milk to drink.

I know I have some wierd ones but then I again I ain't arguing that I am not wierd. I gladly admit I am.

1) Driving slow in the passing lane
2) People who tailgate in traffic
3) People who don't wash their hands (you know)
4) People who always have to interrupt your story with one that is "so much better"
5) Almost empty beverage containers left in the refrigerator
6) Telemarketers
7) Excessive commercials
8) Tags on shirts
9) Incompetent fast food employees
10) People who borrow things and don't bring them back until you harrass them.

OK - here we go!!

1. Close the darn shower curtain when you've finished showering!!
2. DO NOT drink directly from the container!!
3. Underwear and socks go IN the hamper, not on the floor or on top!!
4. DO NOT speak with your mouth full - chew and swallow first!!
5. The arm of the sofa is NOT the place to balance your foot when removing a sneaker!!!

Keep in mind - we have no children!! http://www.frappydoo.com/forum/images/smilies/winkq.gif

I forgot your #3 Madge is a biggy with me as well. UGH!! I am not asking you to play basketball just get those dirty clothes in the hamper. #4 on CG's is a biggie with me as well.

Madge, yours are so obvious, they are almost a cliche. That being the case, why do we have to say them out loud to an adult? I don't understand who on earth would do those things and think they are OK. Do parents just not teach their children the basics of life? It's pathetic. Three cheers for Madge!

[Madge]

Thanks, Grimey! Unfortunatley my post makes my husband look quite the slob - he IS, but I love him to death anyway!! I'm SURE he has some for me, too!

Most of the ones you all mentioned are mine too, but here are few extra ones:

Not putting the lid down on the toilet after use, this goes for anyone using the toilet, not just men, they are ugly enough without having to look down into them!!! I must say, my DH is wonderful about doing this...but it took a while.

Half drank soft drink cans sitting around and no one knows who it even belongs to...so they just open another one.

This one is really dumb, but I hate for someone to come into my house and when it is time to wash their hands they go to the kitchen sink...why? I have 5 bathrooms for them to go to.

Putting feet on my glass coffee tables, big no no, don't mind feet on the furniture if shoes are off.

Leaving the garage door open!!!! Hate it...especially on a ranch, who knows what might come to visit, but I hated it even in town, garages are not usually pretty.

Well, I better stop or ya'll will think I'm some sort of a nut...lol I'm sure I do lots of things that annoy other people, but if I do, I'd want to know so I could correct it!

Oh, I hate to be around someone that pops their gum continually, drives me crazy, okay I said I would stop...

One more, sitting on any of my beds after they are made! It's okay if they are unmade, but I paid lots of money for those comforters, so don't want anyone sitting on them. My kids hated that one growing up, but now they tend to be the same way...I'm stopping...

[Justawoman]

I didn't mention sittin on the bed one. I have that one too. I love coming into my bedroom it is still not messed up. I fight with my kids over this one still. Pretty bedding is not cheap.

[raybeck]

Believe it or not, I have another pet peeve...when Frappydoo posts twice when I try to go in and edit...hate it when that happens!!!

[Grimey]

test problem

Fix problem

[Grimey]

I don't have that problem. I wonder what's happening to you.

Edit - Yo Yo Yo Yo

[Grimey]

I know what is happening. You are previewing the message after you edit it. Then you click on the [Submit Message] button that is above the text editing box instead of the [Save Changes] button which is below the text editing box.

[raybeck]

Grimey, I think you are right!!! Bet I foreget and do again, next time I try to edit. I just try not to edit...lol

I'm in editing mode. Now let me see if this works...

[raybeck]

Well, my gosh, when I went back to edit, I should have actually EDITED, my grammar didn't come out correctly, can't blame that one on Frappydoo! lol

Thanks for the lesson on editing, Grimey, maybe I won't be double posting now.

[Justawoman]

I have yet another pet peeve. My 18 year old loves to tell me ," chill mom".. I hate that. I hate it because she thinks she is being cute and she always says it the least favorable time for her.

Chill Mom!!! Ugh!!

[jamesglewisf]

It's kinds of condescending too -- as if you are getting upset over nothing.

[raybeck]

Now this one is probably going to really make you think I'm odd, my kids laugh at me all the time because I hate this saying:

Your at a restaurant, store, whatever and you say "thank you" they say "no problem", drive me nuts...my kids say that is just a way of saying you are welcome so it has kind of become a joke with us. My DH (dear husband, Madge) is like me, we just look at one another and smile. "No problem", well I hope not, since it's your job...lol

[Noseypoo]

I say 'No problem' all the time. Please, don't hate me {baldy}

[raybeck]

No Problem, Noseypoo...lol I'm getting more used to it, because you hear so much, who knows...I just may start saying it!

Another thread reminded me of this one.

I get tired of people littering -- namely cigarette butts and chewing gum.

I wonder what thread that was?{rofl}{woohoo}(as if I did not know)
My 5 pet peeves are as follows:
1) My wife will get 6 slices of meat to make a sandwich and use four of them. The other two slices just sit in the fridge as science experiments.

2) Leaving just a mouthful of liquid in any container. Not enough to have a drink or wet your whistle.

3) Not replacing the toilet roll. Nothing worse than being caught short in that department.

4) People letting their mutt poop on my grass and not scooping it up.

5) Boom box cars with loud sound systems that you can hear a block away and feel if they are within 100 feet.

I am telling on myself now. I have the solution to your problem here Data. When we lived out on the highway in a row of houses that were seperated by fences that only went as far as the drives and stopped, we had a neighbor to the south of us with a huge behemoth of a dog.

Now this dog would walk the length of his fence and come on around and poop in our front yard or backyard. I kept a huge coffee can and pooper scooper on the back porch. I would walk around and load my can up when the poop was dry. By the way we had no dogs so, you might find this info helpful with my next couple of sentences. {toothy}

When my can got full I would pitch the poop over the fence back into their yard. I had asked them try and train the dog to not come to our yard. The neighbors pretty much felt it was not necessary. So in the end they had to pick up their own dogs poop but just in more quantities than he actually deposited them in my yard. Bad ain't I? {evil}

[ladybug56]

LOL JAW, yup, that's a bad one! {highfive}

[ladybug56]

Well, I can pretty much relate to everything that was vented!

My very top Pet Peeve is;

Not being on-time & having to wait
for someone.

Please close that cubboard door!

Put it back where you got it!

Anyone who coughs at the dinner table
& bring's up phlegm, my appetite dissapear's
real fast! {pukeface}

Waitresses with long unkempt hair
that is almost laying on my plate of food
as she bring's it to me!

Hang up your WET towel!

I don't have any of those problems now.{toothy}
My DH (new DH) has alway's tidied up after himself.
he even has a sponge by the bathroom sink
so he can clean up after shaving!..
yup!, and he also has a Sock Drawer! {hug}

[DataJack]

Wow...what an idea J.A.W. Only thing is i don't know where these twits live or even if its just a dog running loose. But I will say this. If I ever find myself in a situation like yours i think i will go one or two steps further.

Take one plastic 5 gallon pail with lid, add 2 inch's of water, and scoop the poop and store in pail till full. The water is so that things remain moist and gooey. When full dump on offending neighbors front lawn.

I hate that one too.

The only thing about doing that way, is the fact the wind blows non-stop over here. Just my luck the wind changes direction and I get wet poo on my shoes or worse. Plus when I threw it over the fence I had no clue if anyone was standing in the yard or not. I couldn't see over or through the fence. I just let them dried terds fly. INCOMING!!!
