Pet Peeves v. u mad?

I hate when people...usually parents with little kids... in any case, with no real problem.Come to the E.R. and DEMAND we triage them above everyone else and book their little boobkins into a Crit Care Unit bed all because he has a temp of 38.2o

Seriously, it costs a lot of tax money for each stupid, pointless presentation and it peeves me right off.

I dislike when customers come to my counter while talking on the phone; it is very difficult to find a solution to their problem and ask them questions to get them what they need when they hinder my ability to converse with them. ><

The reason you're telling me that you're not doing your job is because you don't have a job to do?
Well, you just fucking convinced me!

That sounds like a wonderful idea; I'll have to speak with my supervisors about implementing such a policy. Thank you for the suggestion!
 
I dislike dirty glasses. Like, if there's even a tiny bit of something in my cup I won't drink from it. I don't care if it's been through the dishwasher and it's sanitized, it still looks gross.
 
Not sure if this is technically a peeve, or if it's just an annoyance... When the clothes dryer lint trap is emptied and put back in, but not quite all the way, it makes a ticking noise with every revolution of the drum. SO. annoying.
 
^Related: I hate when the person who used the dryer before me doesn't clean the lint catcher

OMG me too. It drives me batty. 8(

Another peeve of mine is dirty bath-tubs. They make my skin crawl, and I can't deal with being in the same room as a dirty bath! I also hate cleaning them. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. :p
 
no road signs

not every visitor has a gps

we rely on you road signs

also, cities, that if you make a wrong turn can get scary, that don't have signs leading towards the interstate
 
When people say "meh" or begin a post with "er..."

Also, when people use internet acronyms like WTF, OMG, LOL, and LMFAO when talking to people in real life. not cool.
 
Referring to vegetarians as "veggies". Sorry, I know (now) that it's a common thing in the UK and quite possibly in other countries, but you will never hear me refer to myself as a "veggie". A vegetable is what you call someone who is in a vegetative state in the hospital. I am not a vegetable or a veggie--I am a vegetarian.
 
addictivepersona - actually that's one of my pet peeves - I dislike that terminology for people in a vegetative state. I even hate the term vegetative state. I know what you mean though, about vegetarians, I'm just going off the track a bit.

I think in the US the term is 'gork'? I read that in a book once, about hospital workers, some memoirs written by a nurse in the 70s and 80s, and the term veggie and gork were commonly used for people with severe head injuries. I was kind of horrified at the time. It's probably not used now so much.

I use the term veggie for actually vegetables, that's all. As far as a person in a coma with irreversible brain damage well .. that's pretty much how I would describe them. I'm amazed at how the other terminology is acceptable though.

Oh, wow, I never really thought about people getting upset with that term, but I guess it would be quite offensive if you knew someone in a comatose state! I've never heard of "gork" but I can't imagine that being used in a benign way.

Learn something new every day.
 
Do vegetarians who become zombies only eat people in vegetative states?

*ba bing*

Ok that was a really dumb joke. Good morning bluelight.

So I've done this with myself. Should I cease doing so?

No, we don't commonly use this term.
