Speaking of signing receipts, what the fuck is up with stores asking me my full name, phone number, AND address. It's always seems to be large chain stores that specialize in a certain avenue. Guitar Center, Best Buy. No buddy, I'm not telling you that, I don't care how the company you work for uses it.

Ya, I hate that. I have this one discount clothing store near my place, and they always want to know everything.

Cashier: Can I get your phone number please?

Redleader: Is that for....personal or professional reasons?

Cashier: Ummm we need it for our systems.

Redleader: It's unlisted.

Cashier: :glare: Okay, and your zip code.

Redleader: Whatever the zip code is right here.

Cashier: Umm..

Redleader: Ya, I tend to spend most nights hooking up with women in the parking lot of this store. I mean you don't know how much sucess I've had with the ladies since I started shopping here and wearing these clothes, let me tell ya.

Cashier: Why don't you just take them back to your place?

Redleader: Same reason I don't want to give your store my personal information. I want that stuff kept private!

Ya, I hate this too. Apprently though they'll watch the cashiers over cameras fixed on the registers, and if they see cashiers not asking for ID, they can get in trouble. This happened to a friend of mine wo was working at a Speedway and stopped carding regulars.
 
It must be exhausting to be constantly annoyed by everything (and I do mean everything) as much as fjones and Redleader seem to be.
 
People who whistle or snap their fingers, foot tappers, leg jigglers, snorers, nail clickers.
BRITISH people who use words like "dude" "awesome" "douchebag" as if they are American.
People who can still get aggressive when they're on ecstasy.

But, most importantly. People who only talk about themselves. And when you try to change the subject they cut you dead with an anecdote about THEMSELVES. I hate that.

It's unfortunate that you see us (speaking on Fjones' behalf) only as complainers about our "exhaustingly annoying lives," and probably assume that we don't have as many daily joys as the more relaxed people (which is totally not true). I know that part of my reason for posting a lot in this thread is to make people laugh. Same goes for Fjones. And many people enjoy our posts - I've been PMed numerous times about how funny my Pet Peeves posts are. In a way, it's like a certain brand of stand-up comedy. Rarely, rarely will I post in this thread in a way that I don't try to make a combination of truth and comedy. Ya, I've got a cocktail of mental issues that lead me to often be sensative to the world in a frustrating way, but talking/joking about it does help a lot. Don't like it? Change the channel :)
 
Whoa, no need to get so defensive; it was intended to be a lighthearted comment. 8o
 
I usually make shit up at random stores that ask for marketing information.

My phone #? > ( 123 456 7890 )

My zipcode? > ( 12345 )


Problem solved.

My pet peeve goes to all the motherfucking birds out there. Could you please STOP screaming at 4 o'clock in the morning, while I, like many other human beings, am trying to sleep? Basically I have the choice between sleeping in a 100° room or open the window and endure the screamings of these little sons of bitches.

YES! I hate those motherfuckers. Bastards be waking me up HOURS before I have to get up.

If this is racist, so be it... but I'm sick of this shit and I have dealt with it everyday that I lived in Oakland and got pounded with it today when I went back to visit a friend.

Everytime I walk around in any ghetto area, where people are low-income or Hispanic or African American, I get treated like SHIT from 90% of the females. Guys don't really give a shit and either ignore me, are nice to me, or hit on me. Some girls just ignore me, but I am constantly getting nasty looks, snide comments, people obviously talking trash about me that I can't hear (but am being stared at) or just outwright fucking RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL.

I don't know any other reason besides the fact that I am a white girl who looks like she has $ (I drive a relatively nice car, and I have a lot of old expensive clothes/shoes/bags from when I lived at home with rich parents buying me shit). And I don't get the same attitude from girls when I am in a white/middle-upper class neighborhood.

I am not a snotty bitchy girl.. I was raised to have very good manners and I never neglect to say thank you for even the smallest thing or say please. I don't give people nasty looks, I don't make snide comments or anything along those lines. What is so ironic to me is I always hear girls saying "fucking white girls are so fucking bitchy!" "white bitches are so racist!" and etc. But seriously I am the least racist person you will meet, I don't give a fuck what nationality you are I am not going to give you more or less respect because of it, but I am so sick of dealing with this shit.

Do you usually smile when you are walking? :D I can look like a snobby bitch too but I find that when I smile while I am walking , everybody else I pass by also smile and are generally receptive and pleasant.
 
My pet peeve, especially at work is people who can't use manners, such as please and thank you, and people who fail to acknowledge that I'm a real person, not a machine that makes coffee!
 
It really isn't hard to ignore a person that talks only about themselves. I find that a disinterested look does the trick most times. As soon as they realize you are not listening they wander away to bother someone else.

Well played gentlemen :)

My pet peeve of the day is, people who say they are going to do a favor for you... and then don't do it!

Now what? Is there a tactful way to say,

"Hey asshole! remember that thing you said you would do? Well, If I knew that by saying 'I'll do that for you,' you actually meant, 'I will not do that for you,' I would have made other arrangements, but instead, I am now royally screwed."

Customer service reps are really annoying.

"I can't do that for you, sorry."

ok,
1) I know you are lying, and
2) Stop wasting my fucking time then and transfer me to someone who can!
