Work Pet Peeve:
People who ask you how to do something and then after you tell them they say, "But why do I have to do it THAT way????"
or
People call up with a problem and once you diagnose the problem and tell them how to fix it they say, "But we never had to do that before!"

1. PIMPLES!!!! I'm in my thirties, why do I have to re-live this horror!
2. The hostess of American idol
3. people who automatically want to hold my son and I try explaining that he'll start crying because he's not familiar with that person and then they have an attitude with me, like I don't know my own son!
4. skinny people (no offense, but after having one child, I've declared mental war with any slim people!)
5. people who argue about religious stuff or try to find fault in other peoples religions or lack there of, or try to save or convert people, or use it as a means to start war or kill innocent people, or political, this world/universe is big enough for us to co-exist among one another peacefully!
6. again cold freakin McDonalds fries!

Hmm...I can probably think of more than a few.
1. People who call my home and can't pronounce my name. (Usually telemarketers). Granted, it's not a common last name, but at least try to come close. Don't add letters, that won't help.
2. People who pull into the left (passing) lane and then drop their speed to 55. Move over, already.
3. People who can't park the way normal people do. They have to park diagonally across 3 spaces so no one can come near their precious car. Makes me want to go run my key along the side panel...
4. People who say, "You have HOW MANY CATS?!" and then proceed to tell me that I should "find homes for" or "get rid of" some of them. I don't tell you how many children to have, you don't tell me how many cats to have, deal?
5. Another telephone one: telemarketer calls on Saturday or Sunday mornings, before 11 AM. Go away and never come back.
6. Spelling or grammatical errors on posted signs/billboards/menus and things of that sort. Didn't ANYONE proofread the damn thing? (My favorite, at the Staples print center: "Customers are responsible for proofreading there own documents." I pointed at it and asked the manager if it was deliberately spelled that way as a joke, given the nature of the sign. He didn't get it. I had to point out the misspelling. He didn't believe me.)

Oh, I second the bit about the cold McDonald's fries, also about cold or bad coffee. Those are both sacrilege!

oooooo!!! yeah that's a good one, I usually hang up since they are mostly telemarketers!
ROACHES!!!! I can't believe I forgot to put that on my number one pet peeve!!! Sorry, of all the creatures that had to be created, this is one that I just can't seem to kill or get rid of or even live in peace with because they take over your freaking household!!!

One more, telemarketer pet peeve - Why do they have people calling who barely speak English, or have such heavy accents that the average English speaker can't understand them? I realize that these people need jobs too....but making outbound calls ISN'T IT!!
Aaaaah!!!!! Roaches aren't a pet peeve, they are a nightmare!!!!! My only roach experience was a few yrs ago, when the apt building next to mine was being demolished, the roaches moved to the next building over. I had one in my apartment and I screamed when I saw it. I had to get a friend to come over and kill it, I was so terrified and freaked out!
I also get that way about centipedes. Anything with that many legs can't be good to have around. Just thinking about them makes me itch all over.

People who ask me after i tell them i'm vegetarian if i eat fish!
Oh, that's how you stay slender Yzma, if you don''t mind the compliment!
Yah, there are a couple of classes of vegetarians, those who eat fish, those who eat dairy products, those who eat fish but not dairy products, those who don't eat fish or dairy products, in the hindu class, there are those who eat chicken but they still call themselves vegetarian, of course, maybe its because they like eating chicken here in the US and they're not under the watchful eye.
1. electric bill - during the summer they raise the prices since everyone uses their AC aargh!
2. cable companies- ridiculous that you pay so much for channels you don't watch!

1. People who don't clean up after themselves or their children in a restaurant. Do you leave your house like that after a meal?? I think not!!!
2. Loud, rude, mean ignorant ppl who think they are above you b/c you are working at a minimum wage job.
3. Slow drivers.....same as everyone else, except we don't have very many 4 lane hiways here in my part of the country, so you have to wait and wait and wait to finally pass, then the dorks speed up.
4. People who can't figure out something to do when there is a list there to follow...can you not read????
Hmm....that's about all for now. I'm sure I'll think of other ones. lol

Old ugly disgusting fat truck drivers who think they can flirt with you b/c they are men, and 2 you are a young girl (well, like 20-ish)! Also when they come into the store, and they have their shirts above their bellies, and pants way below the waist....how in the world can anyone think that looks good enough to go to a public place?????
Also fat ppl who wear tight clothes, or have boob fat hanging out the back/sides of their tops....and try to be all skinny like and look so bad! Ditto for skinny ppl who are way to skinny. It's so not sexy to be able to count ribs....Through your shirt!!

I have many pet peeves!
1. "Pull Out and Putz Drivers" (as I call 'em) - They pull out in front of you nearly causing an accident and then drive 2 MPH . . . . and then pull off the road again (without directionals of course)Grrrrrrr!!!!
2. People who forget to turn off their directionals leading you to believe that they are going to turn (for 5 miles).
3. Smokers. Especially young people who should know better!! Also those who toss burning cigarettes out the car window nearly giving me a heart attack - not to mention polluting the world with ugly & toxic butts.
4. Smoking in restaurants.
5. People who cut lines or stand right beside you at a counter (bank, store, etc.).
6. People who leave their pets outside day & night no matter what the weather.
7. Screaming out of control children in grocery stores - especially those that are not being supervised and are ramming carts into everything.
8. Rude, arrogant, nasty people who think the world owes them a living.
9. Cussing in public.
10. Verbal abuse (to children or other adults).
11. Seeing pets left in cars.
12. Automated phone systems where you have to press a multitude of numbers and if you get discombobulated you have to hang up and start all over again. . . or never find the option you need for your problem and can never talk to a live person. Grrrrr.
13. Litter.
14. 2 inch hairs growing off of a woman's chin or upper lip. Yuck! Pluck it, shave it.
15. People who don't hold doors when you are right behind them, or those who don't take the door from you (or say thank you when you hold it for them).
16. Mean spirited gossip.
17. People who blast their car horns for no apparent reason. . . and nearly send me into cardiac arrest when I'm out for a stroll.
