Yah I know...but it just sounds SO dirty. It takes a normal word and makes it sound wierd. Along the same lines I don't like the pronunciation of mature as matoor even though it is valid and dosen't sound dirty, it just sounds funny. Hey nobody said pet peeves have to make sense
Oh. Good. Lord.
I hate that too. That dry crackly feeling. I often wonder if I had spring water if it would feel like that? Is tap water extra drying? I don't remember it ever being this bad... This leads me to not wash my hands near as much, which leads into my husbands peeve of my not carrying that much about germs. He is obsessive with hand-washing and germs and I just don't care so much, but I have to admit the awful feeling afterwards is part of my problem!
I am the exact same way. Don't come into my kitchen and make a mess. I have sharp knives and I know how to use them.
Oh yeah, that bugs me too! My brother-in-law is blind and often these types of people don't even get out of his way when they see him coming with his white cane, grr... He can actually see enough to know that there is someone there, but he'll often just keep walking and if they don't move they'll get whacked with his cane (not "intentionally" but just the way he'd normally swing it in front of him) because the next person with a white cane probably WON'T be able to see them.Originally Posted by emily_325
Just thought of another one.
People who approach you walking side by side, or even singly on a sidewalk or somewhere like the mall, and EXPECT you to move out of their way. Sorry people but at least half that is for people going the other direction. YOU move! I've literally held my ground and walked right into people before.
That reminds me of ANOTHER one. I told you guys I could go on all day...
I know what you are saying but that is why you have to wait until it is safe to turn, that's why I can't believe the 3 people that follow me the light is on the last seconds of yellow vergeing on red and they still follow me through the intersection. It is actually stated in the Driveing books in Canada's Traffic laws. I'm not sure about the states.
Wow I didn't know anyone else on here was from Morrisville (or maybe I did and forgot?). I am too but I don't put it in my location because nobody knows where Morrisville is. Anyway, I know what you are talking about and I drive an SUV and always try to stay back when someone is in a car and making a right. I think its inconsiderate of big vehicles to block the view when they can see past the car perfectly fine but not vice versa. Heck SUV's can block other SUV's views and its annoying!

Speaking of casheirs, I can't stand when they shove your change at you and say thanks and then start ringing up the next person! I mean, EXCUSE ME!!! Can you hold on a second while I put my money or credit card back in my wallet so I don't lose it??????????????

I never say goodbye. I don't like the word. Talk to you later or see you later is usually my hang up phrase.
I can't do that either! I also can't touch velvet.
When I was in driving school, my driving instructor said to never pull into an intersection like that until you see your opening to turn, just because of that reason. He said (not sure if it is really in the books or anything) that our local police have been known to pulling people over for it...whoa.
-That's one of my pet peeves too!!!! I hate it when they do that!
Actually one of my pet peeves is just the opposite. As a pedestrian, the sidewalk is for pedestrians only and I hate getting sideswiped or almost run over by bikers that aren't even supposed to be there. They are supposed to ride on the roadway.Originally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR
-I really don't like it when people on their bicycles ride out in the middle of the street like they "own" it....and pull out right in front of me when i'm driving!!! UHHHHH! I just want to run them over!! The sidewalk is there for a reason
-I'm sure i could think of more, but those are the ones off the top of my head right now
A lot of people don't realize this though. I didn't until a couple of years ago. And of course this doesn't excuse them for just pulling out in front of you like they own the road. How rude.
