^^I had a really bad experience at Wal-Mart that totally relates to your stories but I blocked it out of my memory

ps great link Amor
 
People who whistle in public are bad enough. NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR YOU. When's the last time you saw someone go up to a public whistler and say "Wow, that beautiful melody just brightened up my day!"? But people who incessantly start and stop whistling, as opposed to just doing it continuously, are the worst. If you're going to whistle along with the background song in some store or resturaunt, at least try and make a complete effort!
 
When people change their names or ask to be called something different. My mother-in-law is named Debra, but likes to be called Kaila....????? What am I supposed to call her?? (of course my fiance wants me to call her "Mom" but I dont feel comfortable)

I also worked briefly with this woman who introduced herself to me as Christine but then everyone else was calling her "Uma" and she signed her name Uma as well.

Then there was the girl at the hippy fest named "Rainbow" 8) 8) 8)
 
Okay....I have one but it's probably bordering on extreme phobia rather than just a pet peeve.

NSFW:
I hate gum. I find it the most disgusting substance. I hate the way people chew it, the way it looks, the way it smells, the way it's carelessly tossed everywhere, the way it makes stains and messes and the way it ruins things. I hate that grocery stores and CVS put it right by the cash register so I have to hold my breath to avoid smelling it. Since it is so pervasive, I have developed survival methods which include:
* Crossing the street when I see someone walking towards me chewing it, if possible
* Otherwise holding my breath if I have to pass someone chewing it and then waiting at least 5 seconds after they pass me to breathe again
* Not dating anyone who chews it (some of my friends do, so I deal with it by breathing less or opening windows if possible)
*Preventing myself from vomiting whenever there is too much of it around me


I don't even want to see the word!

I worked with a woman years ago named "Michelle." She insisted on going by the name "Shellebelle," though. That's how she wanted to be introduced to higher-ups in important meetings 8o She even somehow convinced the company to print it on her work ID.

Deary me!!! We would not get along well!! :D
I chew
NSFW:
gum
all the time! I literally go through a bottle of 64 pieces every 2 weeks.
Of course I always dispose of it thoughtfully though :)
 
I use the hold feature on my ipod when it is in my purse so it doesn't turn on accidentally and kill the battery.

Yet, the battery is dead anyway.

Why???
 
Ughh, my blackberry's the same. It's one of the new ones with a really high definition screen so the battery only ever lasts 22 hours MAX, and that's without using it much for texting, phone calls, browsing etc. So if I'm away overnight somewhere without my charger, or even out to a late dinner or at my night course, I'm fucked!
 
Child actors.

1. They can't act.
2. The ones who can act are decidedly annoying.*
3. I hate their faces.

Ok, I'm kidding about #3... but not really.

Has anybody seen that fucking 'WE'RE MAKING A PLAYHOUSE!!!" commercial? I don't know what it's for... it should be for Lowes or something though I'm pretty sure it's some goddamned car rental place. Anyway, the girl, I want to punch her. She's probably only 5 but goddamn. Please just keep children off TV. :o

*Of course there are some exceptions... like Dewey in Malcolm in the Middle.
 
screw iphones and blackberries!!!

my friend calls me ALL the time on accident from her blackberry very annoying

and I HATE hearing "there's an ap for that!" The other day we were playing dominos and my cousin thought the math was too hard to be adding shit up (give me a break!) and she said "who needs math when there's an ap for that" ??????Seriously?????????

another time I was telling my dad how I got lost but then I checked the map and figured out my way back. he was like "Oh cool on someone's iphone?! Aren't they useful!" I said "no, a regular map" he was all confused and asked "what do you mean regular map?" "A REGULAR MAP-you know-the old fashioned kind?? PAPER???" arg!!!

FUCK YOUR iPHONE creating an even lazier generation (and ruining older generations too apparently!!)

Speaking of child actors, Dakota Fanning has always peeved me. Her every move and word just screams "I'M ACTING! I'M ACTING! BETTER GIVE ME MY OSCAR SOON!" :p Not to mention, she is like an old lady in a childs body. Like a friend once mentioned : "she’s like Alia the Abomination in Dune.".

I agree with this.


I also hate children who are ridiculously precocious.
 
Another driving one...

The situation is that you're the first car waiting at an intersection to make a lefthand (north america) turn across multiple lanes of traffic. The light is green, but traffic is so heavy that cars are starting and stopping within the considered intersection as a result of a backup from the intersection closest behind you. So the car in the innermost non-turning lane across from you stops and the driver waves at you to cross.

ARE YOU TELEPATHIC, MA'AM? HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT THE OTHER LANES WILL ALSO STOP?

Because ya, I could turn at your suggestion, only to be crashed into by another car who may not be as "polite" as you.
 
When people tell (dont ask) me to lie for them. Example: "Oh by the way I told my boyfriend I was staying at your house, not at my fbuddies house so just in case he calls ok? Thanks"
 
This one pet peeve pertains to a particular friend of mine..

she always wants to come up and visit me at college to party, she goes to community college back in my hometown which is not too far away. My college is known for being a "party school" so I think she expects that I'm always out getting trashed... despite the fact that I've told her millions of times that I limit drinking to weekends. She'll always call me up and be like "Hey, what are you doing tonight? Can I come party? Is anything fun going on?" GRRR its a Tuesday night, I have homework, NO. Get your own friends.

Whenever I do party with her, this is what happens (I'm sure we all have friends who do one or more of these party-fouls.. unfortunently she does them ALL):

1) Gets too drunk. WAY to drunk. Have to babysit her all night.
2) Makes me come to the bathroom with her while she vomits... gross...
3) Clings to me all night.. like, she literally hangs on my arm even if she knows other people there. Just because we came together doesnt mean we have to be together the whole time.
4) Says she'll DD then of course gets too drunk to do so, so I end up driving.
5) Wears skanky clothes that do not look attractive. A house party is not the same thing as a hooker bar.

ahhhh

When parking a car:

When you see people walking to their automobile in a (full) parking lot, so you wait about it, hoping to replace their car with your car in the parking space...

And they intentionally take forever getting into their car and getting it ready for flight, just to piss you off, as to them you appear like a waiting vulture.

No, logically you just want to park in a pull lot, so you have to resort to such tactic in order to do so.

But still, they delay everything and glare are you as they back out, as if you're the wicked witch of the lot, both after their children and the items in their shopping bags.
 
^^It annoys me when people sit and block up the aisle waiting for me (or anyone else) to get into the car :) I especially hate it when the car waiting is in front of me! Its like hey buddy-if you wanna wait thats cool, but I can be looking for other spots why do I have to wait for you and the other car?? But also when people are just sitting there waiting for me to unload all my groceries and leave, like I should be moving faster for them?? F off

It reminds me of that Simpsons episode when Moe stands in front of his car with his keys out and all the cars are waiting for him asking "Are you leaving?" he keeps answering "No" then admits "I just like the look of dissapointment in peoples faces" lol

ThaiDai I have a friend exactly like that...very annoying
