Pet Peeves
Let’s talk pet peeves. What are yours?

Here are a few that really burn my ass(other than a 3-foot flame😁):
•People who mistreat their kids.
I was in a waiting room last week when a woman, who had just stated her baby was EIGHT MONTHS OLD, started getting aggro and yelling at the baby, for...just being a baby. Grabbing things, putting them in her mouth, like babies do. The father stepped in, took the baby, thankfully, just as the woman was winding up for a full fit, yelling at the baby: ‘YOU are fucking MY SHIT up.’
Urgh. Imagine how it must be in private?! No, I can’t, or I’ll go insane.
•People who are disrespectful to service personnel, and who undertip or don’t tip at all...especially after they’ve demanded every extra and then some, and the waitstaff has NOT conked the asshole over the head with a wine bottle.
•Cheap, miserly, Scrooges(see above). Thrifty is a virtue. Miserliness is not. It shows in many ways that have nothing to do with money, imho.

That’s my top three, all make my blood pressure go right up!

I have a low tolerance for people who leave trash where ever they go. Nothing like going to a picnic or camp and finding that the last visitors left a truck full of trash. I also dislike those who mistreat animals. if you can't treat an animal right, you may not be good at treating people well either.

I agree!

Watch this video and you be sure to read the seal on the floor in the dance scene, you'll have a weird understanding of things after seeing it.

I too have low tolerance for people who are mean to children, ESPECIALLY BABIES! When babies grow up in those environments, it makes them bad people. Hurt people hurt people. There are people who simply should not breed. And I'm the same way about mistreating waitstaff and service personnel. Maybe because I've working in service industry all my life. But my biggest pet peeve is probably ignorance, which leads to these horrible behaviors and more. Just ignorance. It breads fear which breads hate.

I’m with you. The core of meanness is ignorance.

I have fought against these - and suffered from them - for too many years to stop now

Those who engage in torture
Those who physically abuse and/or rape others, (those weaker than themselves)
Those who impose their own moral and ethical codes on others

in those simple guidelines there ar so many areas where conflicts in implementation occur
my morality says this torture is acceptable
she is an infidel whore - so rape is ok
etc..............I have had to use my own judgment on such moral issues and always tried not to impose my western culture. I am uncertain that I always made a correct decision

I would have reported the mother. That is abuse and unlikely to end there.

It was the psychiatrist waiting room, so the staff saw and heard the whole incident. I’m sure she got a caseworker from protective services that day, if she didn’t already have one.

A pet peeve of mine is people who use quote marks with their fingers. WTF is that about?

Another one is drama of any kind for no apparent reason.

Litterers. Pretentiousness. The phrase “have a blessed day.” Peanut butter in the jelly jar. Trumpsters.

Right?! Hard to say which of those is most annoying!

Bragging people. People who go out of their way to tell you how great they are, what cool stuff they have, what awesome things they do, the insane places they go to, the people they hang around with. Man, what do you have to prove?!

Sounds like narcissistic people, they actually are big empty holes inside but they convince the world they are GREAT.

What makes me happy and what I do is important to me but would bore you to tears.

I'm with you on the kids, it really fucking pisses me off. I have actually given people the hard stare or have said something to them. I want to I hate it when people that have kids, try to tell me how to raise my kids, I just tell them to get the fuck out of my face, with that B.S. I also hate men, that hit women.

I hear you. Any kind of abuse just rankles, whether it’s words, hitting, manipulation...all of it is bad.

Rubberneckers...they back up traffic sometimes for miles, creating hazards, plus, ya seen one dead body/crushed car, you've seen them all, drive on, you fatheads.
Also, those who do not know how to merge. I am Done slowing to let you in!

Exactly. Folks who signal but won’t get over. Texting and driving. Going slow in the passing lane.

1

People who take their food out of the microwave and leave cooking time remaining on the clock.

Rude. Or they burn popcorn, leaving a stink that never goes away. Or make a terrible mess but never clean it up.
I’ve been there!

2

People who think Envy and Jealousy are the same thing and use the words interchangeably, like wise people who don't understand Lend and Borrow are antonyms not synonyms.

1

People who holler at clerks in store for something they didn't do just to make themselves feel powerful

pitiful, and makes me want to slap them! But I feel sorry for them too, because they must be miserable inside.

@CarolinaGirl60 I have approached and called them out as asshole

@bobwjr Good for you, that behavior is unacceptable. I’ve intervened when the elderly were being treated rudely, myself. I can’t stand mean, intimidating bullshit.

Littering.

Dog owners who leave dog poop in plastic bags broiling in the sun beside the trail. What, they think the Poop Fairy will magically clean up after them?

Dog owners who refuse to train or control their dogs.

Today a woman brought her small dog into Macy's.The dog pooped on the carpet in front of the main checkstand. Disgusting. Leave your dog home!

That, and other trash. I don’t hike, but I walk my dog at a park near my house. I try to pick up trash I see as I go...folks are just lazy. There are plenty of cans and recycle containers, but I always find trash along the walking trails.

@CarolinaGirl60

Agreed. I clean up litter around my house and while hiking.

While descending, Karen and I each carried out three heavy grocery bags of litter on a hike at Mission Ridge Ski Area.

Litter attracts litter.

I have one and my Mother would always get pissed off at my Father when she asked him either what do you want to do or would you like to go here or there and He would always say i don,t care or which ever you want but would never make a choice ,I tell people right up front if i give you a choice of going here or there,do not say i do not care,,Since i have given you a choice of either means I am ok with either,I am giving you the courtesy of picking which one you like best and if you happen not to like either one,then come back with another suggestion .Please that is my pet peeve

I just saw a meme yesterday...skeleton driving a truck: ‘me waiting on my wife to decide where she wants to eat’.
😂
I feel your frustration!
