Life's simple pet peeves

[Christina]

I love those people who always have to counter your story with something similar they did. ( only it was bigger and better - of course )

Harleys without mufflers. It's very rude.

Very much agree. Especially when your 2nd baby also has colic, and you have just finally gotten them to sleep a little when your neighbor decides to go out for a late night ride .

Having 2 kids who had colic for the first 6 months is not a fun time.

The tv show Lost. The whole thing. I'm through with it. :x



















Ok, so I'll totally be watching again next week, but not happily!

Mobile phones used in restaurants or sitting along side you in trains so you feel that you have to talk quietly to your companion. I asked one soul if the conversation was private or could all of us in the carriage join in - went down well with the rest of the travellers as he seemed to feel it was necessary to shout at the thing.

I was sitting on a train recently going to London, when the woman next to me who had been on her mobile phone decided, because she couldn't hear the other caller very well , to put it on speakerphone and shout at the phone. So not only could everyone in the carriage hear her shouting we could also then hear the other end of the incredibly mundane and pointless phone call to boot.

That annoyed me quite a lot.

Some from work.

1) When someone plops their stuff on the counter and immediately start to swipe their Credit/ debit card through the machine, then repeat when the thing does 'nothing.' It goes something like this...

*swipe*
deleep (from the computer)
Customer: "It didn't do anything!11!!"
*swipe*
deleep
Customer: "Still nothing"
*swipe*
deleep
Me: STOP IT!! I have to actually log on first. I will tell you when to swipe.

Then at the end of the transaction, they ask "Am I going to be double (or triple or how many times I swiped my card) charged??"

Me: :banghead:

2) People who hold up the line to dig all through their purse/pockets/ friend's pockets and purses/ diaper bags/ whatever to find exact change.

2b) People who find exact change after they gave me bills, I have made change and closed out the sale...receipt in hand.

3) Slobs. From people who leave their trash everywhere to those who leave a massive pile of twisted clothes and hangers in the fitting rooms. Didn't your mama teach you right? My mother would raise from the dead to smack me upside the head if I did such a thing.

Most of my customers are nice and make my job great. The sucky ones, OTOH....well...they just suck! I keep telling my manager that one day I am just going to go postal and whack someone with a curtain rod. layball:

I hate hate hate when I go in to use the bathroom after the husband's taken a shower and all the rugs are sopping wet from his feet!

Ah. Bathrooms and men!
That topic could be turned into a BOOK on that special pet peeve of mine!

Using the bathroom (for No2) and not airing it any.
Using the bathroom for a shower bath and not airing it any.
Using the bathroom for a shower bath and afterwards for No 2 and not airing it any ... :roll:

You enter ... the air chokes you almost to death!


(We have one bathroom for the females of the family only and one for the males of the family only. For a good reason!)

People who ask you a question then interrupt multiple times as you answer.

Oh yeah. The same here. I had such a situation a week ago, one guy asked about my opinion on something and practically didn't give me a chance to say anything. I am a patient person, but I just couldn't stand it and ended up the "discussion" saying: So why the hell did you ask if you don't care about my answer?!

People keeping crickets in the computer room :scratch: :angry1: :madmad:

This:

Husband and/or son clear the table :cheer: --- carry the used crockery and cutlery and glasses into the kitchen, open the dish washer and ...?

Find it is full.
Filled with (still warm) washed, clean plates and mugs and cups etc.

And?
No longer know what to do.
Totally lose it.
Dishwasher FULL?
Oh, in that case they turn totally helpless. No idea what could possibly be done.

So they just put the dirty plates onto the sink.

Done.

 

[mrodgers]

....So they just put the dirty plates onto the sink.

Done.

I don't understand. What else could be done in that situation?

Quick thinking on the part of husband/son I'd say. You've got some smart fellas there.

:mrgreen:

Ah yes, I keep trying to introduce my husband to the dishwasher, but for some reason he refuses to initiate a friendship... :er:

 

[LaFoto]

Mr Rodgers :roll: ... I sense a bit of "male solidarity" there. Grrr

And both "my men" know what the dishwasher's there for when it is empty, and sort of know what goes where, but when it is still full? Clueless...

Same applies to the full trash bag.
Too full for the banana skin?
OK, so that must go on the edge of the sink. What ELSE could possibly be done?????? :scratch:
Clueless... :roll:

 

[Ajay]

Ahh, men and dishwashers. Mine has actually found the ability to load the dishwasher when empty but in such a way that half of the dirty dishes are still left in the sink, resulting in two loads to be done instead of one. :er:

- Having to wait for batteries to charge.

- Someone stealing one battery, just enough to make the set incomplete.
