Pet Peeves

Since we are on phobias, does anyone have any pet peeves? I have a few.

Nicknames: I can't stand them, probably because my mother's 4th husband walked around calling me chicken for several years. My response was to call him asshole until he stopped. I took a lot of punishment for that but if he called me chicken, like "How's it going chicken?" I would always answer, "It's going fine asshole." Yeah, I was a rotten teen and I took the punishment with pleasure. LOL.

Towel folding: Towels have to be folded hotel style, tea towels have to be folded differently than bath towels. I will actually unfold all the towels to do it properly.

Bad pet owners: That is to be expected. I hate pet owners that treat their dogs like babies. Drives me nuts and I have seen some disgusting things, such as people feeding their dogs from the table..with the very forks they are eating with! In the middle of their meal! Bite for the dog...bite for me...ready to hurl just thinking about it.

I have a number of other ones but what are your pet peeves.

People who chew gum- irritates the crap out of me.

Clock watchers- I understand punctuality but some people push it.....

Dirty home- I'm sorry I just can't do it. This past weekend I spent well over an hour removing dead flies, sticky subtances, matted dog hair, and human hair from the refridgerator!!! Alone. Not mine a good friend.

Cell phone/text users- nothing is that important that it can't wait until after your done doing what you need to do

Ill mannered children- thank goodness for take out now.

Stupid pet owners yes

Towels and Bedsheet folding- yes I'm so picky I had to look up a video on how they actually fold at the hotel, lol. I fold all my bed sheets and towels this way.

I have too many to list because I do not posses tolerance.
But a couple are
smelly people (unwashed)
Unkept hair
Hoodies when they are not needed.
Parents that don't control their children (or dogs)
Bad drivers
People that are foul or rude to others
People that are inconsiderate
People that throw trash out of the car or leave trash behind when they visit the mountains.
People that hang cigarettes out the car window or throw the but out of the window.
People that hang their pants off their butt cheeks. <------ Really hate this.
People that try to stare me down (I ask them if they need something if not then look away)
Crappy car park jobs and the ones that think they need 3 spots because they have a cool or new car. (I park as close as I can to those)

People who chew with their mouth open, or talk while food is in their mouth.
People who breath loudly with their mouth open...
Not washing your hands after using the bathroom.
Not rinsing your plate off.
Not turning lights off if you're not in the room.
Not cleaning the dryer lint out after you take clothes out.
Not saying please and thank you.
Ill mannered children.
People who talk during movies.

You know, I could be here forever. :)

Well, several people already mentioned most of mine, but....

Telling me that something HAS TO BE, because you read it online (ie: wikipedia etc), or "forwarding" something on Facebook or email without checking it out.

And conversely assuming that I "got your data online and therefor it has to be false cause you can post anything on the internet" without actually asking me where I got the information.....

Sorry, but this to me is pretty funny! When I meet a female that I don't particularly like I call her Chickie! Especially at work, hey chickie how are you, chickie I need this document, chickie the due date is this, blah blah blah. My hubby thinks its funny, most of his buddies have wifes I don't care for and they are all named Chickie!

left lane sitters
people who leave their blinker on for miles
someone texting while I'm having a conversation with them...I just walk away
"one-uppers". Someone who always has a story just a bit better than yours, no matter what it is.

I could go on and on. But my blood pressure is increasing as I type this, so I'm going to reverse and go think about mastiffs, unicorns, and rainbows on a sunshiney day once again.
