Pet Peeves v. u mad?

People who are from this country, who do not observe the teachings of early elementary school: Walk on the right. The "in" door is typically on the right. The "out" door is typically on the left. Even if the doors are not marked, is it really that hard to open the door on the right? Yes, I know the one on the left was just opened and is therefore slowly closing, but come on. Are you that lazy?
 
Every time I visit Jersey a new frustration is born

and i've never even been to the ocean side of NJ

I mainly hate NJ because i've gotten a DUI there (cop followed me directly out of a concert)

Plus, New Jersey *snip* tourists flood my small town in northeast PA during the summer

So you hate all of NJ because you were pulled over and given a DUI because you were driving while drunk?

... Makes perfect sense.

people who make up ridiculous stories simply because they don't have anything interesting to add to a conversation. so instead of commenting on someone else's story, or simply saying nothing, they decide to make something up and it's ALWAYS something that's just a little bit "better".

example:
Person A: "yeah man I got locked up this weekend for possession, I got a good lawyer though so I should be ok"

Person B: "aww dude that sucks, I hope it works out for you"

Person C (bullshitter): "oh man that's NOTHIN' this one time I got busted with 2lbs of KB and a half a Kilo of COKE! Yeah but my lawyer knew the judge so they let me off with just a warning"

Its the worst when you work with this person, because you can't escape the bullshit stories for 8 hours a day, and no matter what you talk about, the bullshitter will have a ridiculous story to tell that may or may not have anything to do with the topic at hand.
 
It really bugs me when a girl is wearing big sunglasses, and then gets mad at me for staring at her chest.
If you want me to look you in the eyes, take off the fuckin' glasses. :|
 
some doofus added me to a facebook group for my 20 year HS reunion. this doesn't really bother me, although there is really just about no chance i would ever go. what does bother me is that the fb default is to have notifications and emails turned on. friggin' annoying.
 
I can't stand that people refuse to pay attention and look for motorcycles when they're driving their massive fucking tanks.
I've almost been hit three times in the past month. Shit is ridiculous.
 
this is a pretty petty peeve but people that drive around in broad daylight at 5pm with there lights on look like idiots, especially when visibility is still like 95%, i say wait untill its at least slightly dusky like 7:30 in summer i guess, just seems like a waste of battery imho
 
i always turn my lights on in the evening because i will forget later if i don't and i do not want to get pulled over.

I hate people who don't use their blinker and just drift all over the road like they are playing a video game or something

I am right there with you.

their lights :)

when a car is running, the battery is constantly being recharged - and the car's electrical system is being powered - by the alternator. so it's not a waste of battery.

many modern cars have 'daytime running lights'. some manufacturers install them because they - along with others - believe they increase the visibility of a car and, hence, safety. in many countries they are mandated by government regulation.

That's exactly why I ride with my highbeams on in the day.
Can't be getting plowed over by an inattentive driver..

Quoted for... LOL, I don't know. I just think it needs to be reiterated because it is awesome that someone is going to strive to do that. I agree though--I want to be that way in some way shape or form. :D

My mom is 82. She is a retired government official/ political science prof that now has FIVE volunteer jobs and gives about a third of her fairly low retirement income away to causes she has always believed in. One of her volunteer jobs is taking care of old people in Hospice. :)

That is awesome. :) Something to strive to do with old age--be healthy enough to help others.

Peeve of mine, though maybe it's more of a "common annoyance": It never seems to fail that I'll be reading a list of requirements (either for a job, an essay, an apartment), and everything is golden, I have everything, I meet all the requirements... Until that last one pops up and it is a huge slap in the face because it is something that cannot be changed. For instance: Was looking through apartment listings earlier (not moving any time soon, I was just bored) and saw an ideal one... 'Til I got to the "no pets" part, since if my dog cannot come, I cannot either. /rambling.
 
^ Right, but with the increasing number of people with allergies to pets, they have to let people know which buildings are pet approved and which are not. I was noticing the same thing when I was going through apartment and house listings. About 2/3 said "no pets allowed". What a load of crap, but it's a big lawsuit waiting to happen if someone dies because the owners of the apartment complex didn't realize Sally Doohickie had three cats she was hiding in her apartment.
 
^ Didn't even think of that! I was thinking it was more-so due to the fact that most pets rip stuff up, pee on carpets, and just cause messes in general, even if they are extremely well-behaved. I see all the stuff in the house my dog has accidentally ruined/damaged in the three years I've had her and it makes me really thankful my mom is not nearly as observant as I am.
 
Cigarette smokers who NEVER have their own cigs and always want to bum them off of you. I don't mean they rarely have their own, I mean they NEVER have their own. There are two people who I know like this. One that I bowl in a bowling league with (he's not on my team). Every time I arrive at the alley, he comes and asks for a cigarette, then a lighter. Whenever I leave, he runs out the door to catch me and asks for a cigarette and a lighter. The other dude is someone I work with. He's constantly asking me when I'm taking a smoke break cause he wants to bum one. I finally told that dude that he has FIVE left after he bums five... I'm no longer giving him any cigs... he has to buy his own. He said to me "how bout I just buy you a pack?" What... so you can continue to bum them off me? Jesus fucking christ. Get your own god damned cigarettes people. It's bad enough I throw my own money away, I can't afford to throw my money away AND give you my shit for free. WTF?
 
^ Buy a pack of really shitty cigarettes (and let them go stale if you really want to be evil) and whenever someone asks to bum one from you, give them one of those. They won't bum from you again.
