    Angry Name Your Pet Peeves

    Whether it's biting nails, talking on cell phones in check out aisles, or newbs starting threads... What is it that drives you to brink of insanity.

    My pet peeves:

    -People who eat with their mouths open, suck their teeth or smack their lips
    -Being interrupted in mid sentence
    -Telemarketers

    My pet peeves are people making threads asking about pet peeves, and Don Le. Don Le is totally my biggest pet peeve. I just <i>can't</i> stand people with the name Don Le. Does anyone else agree with me?

    Being a cashier for Safeway, I have a long list of pet peeves. Here's a few of them:

    -Attempting to go over the limit in the express lane
    -Plopping a handbasket on the counter without unloading it
    -Bombarding me with a telephone number without uttering so much as a "Hello"
    -Unloading groceries on the counter and then leaving to get "one thing I forgot" (it's ALWAYS more than one)
    -Blaming me for things that are CLEARLY not my fault (such as forgetting their PIN#, or using an expired credit card)
    -Coming through the checkstand with a truckload of groceries five minutes before closing
    -Blatent disregard for company policies (in particular, no exchanges or returns without a receipt)
    -Cutting into the line (I don't CARE if you're in a hurry; you can wait your turn like the rest of the people here!)
    -Unloading mittfuls of loose change (especially when the line-ups are long)
    -Calling the store with stupid questions
    "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." --Colossians 3:23-24

    -People who don't use proper grammar and spelling. (Even though I do this every once in awhile. Doesn't mean I don't get angry at myself for doing it.)
    -Talking on the phone
    -Girls Gone Wild commercials
    -People mispronouncing words. (My grandmother pronounces ramen (ro-MEIGN) and Iraq (eye-RACK). God, I hate the midwest.)
    -Talking about my day.
    -People who refuse to drop something when I don't feel like talking about it.
    -My grandmother's voice. *shudder* Its so high-pitched when she yells, and I have sensitive ears.
    -The fact that everyone expects me to yell across the house when they call me for something. I hate to yell, and if I don't answer then they yell again after three seconds. Its so irritating.
    -NASCAR
    -Pro wrestling
    -Sephiroth fanboys
    -Cloud fanboys
    -People who talk on their cellphones in the theatre. (Cinema or stage.)
    -Diet soda
    -Overly zealous religious groups
    -The Christian Coalition
    -People who use bible/torah/quran/etc. versus as a basis for an argument.
    -People who feel the need to interrupt my meditation. (I finally clear my mind, and start to find myself, and all of a sudden..."CHASE!!!" Or as I hear it "SCREEEE" *shudder* Just thinking about that drives me crazy)
    -Creative writing assignments
    -People who hate poetry because its "gay"
    -People who call me gay because I like poetry and opera.
    -People who use gay as an insult.
    -People who think having sex is the most important thing you can do.
    -People who hate technology, because its "unnatural" or "against God's will"
    -Yuppies
    -the "Croissan'wich"
    -Pizza Inn
    -Random people that IM me and tell me to join their forum/rpg/chat/etc.
    -People who typ liek thiss!!!!111
    -AOL
    -Microsoft
    -HP
    -George Lucas
    -Racists
    -Sexists
    -Anybody who is against anything for no reason.
    -Religious fundamentalists
    -Censorship
    -People who hate art because its "pornographic" (I guess you have to get to the point where you hardly even acknowledge sex in the first place to appreciate art.)
    -"Patriotism" (The modern kind, where "USA is no.1" and "Saddam Hussein and Bin Laden were working together" and "Who cares about our rights when we can stop those terrorists."


    I think that's about it. I might think up some more later.

    I'm adding to this

    -People who think I'm gay because one of my best friends is bisexual
    -The fact that Bush can't tie his own shoes let alone run a country
    -Oil being the only source of energy and it's going low (c'mon, it's the 21st century, he should have developed a better and cheaper sorce of energy by now, I should get a solar panel and strap it to the roof of my car)
    -People who think Mortal Kombat is better then Street Fighter because "It has blood and you can tear a guy's head off" Blood ad gore a good fighting game does not make
    -People who think anime is little kids cartoons but later they go "OMG SCOOBY DO AND SPOUNGBOB IZ THE ROCKORZ"
    -Today's youth
    -The amount of crappy video games that keep coming out
    -The State of Michigan (yes, that's a peeve, trust me)
    -People who drive up and down the street with their windows rolled down playing loud rap music, I mean these guys don't even go anywhere, they just drive up and down the street and sometimes in circles.

    I really only have one pet peeve and it's a strange one. I hate it when people jiggle their leg... Like when they're nervous or whatnot

    People who make annoying sounds to every action they make. And slugs.

    Oh wait. I just don't like slugs. Oh well.

    ---Guys who wear open toe shoes. I HATE this. No one wants to see your big hairy feet. Bleh.
    ---People who wear loads and loads of jewelry. It's tacky.

    You know, I could probably go on and on...but I'd rather focus on the good things in life, rather than what brings it down. I'm going to go and think happy thoughts now.

    I'm guilty of those. But on the first one, I'm good at keeping it at one, and on the second, if I'm counting change, I try to make it fast, and it's cuz I'm out of options...

    My pet peeves:

    -Interrupting me in the middle of a job to give you a hand. It's not easy for me to get a rhythm, and that always s me up!
    -Demanding my undivided attention.
    -Excessively talkative people. I am an expess listener! Fifteen words or less and then TAKE A BREATH!
    -People who feel the need to slag everything not completely "normal..."
    -Needy pets.
    -Needy people.
    -People who are just mean/cold.
    -WINTER! Yeah it's a fact of life, but I still don't have to like it!

    I guess that's enough for now...

    Many thanks Christmas!
