OK, I know we've done this a hundred times before, but since pet peeves sometimes change with the day I thought this may be fun again.
Remember, pet peeves are not things that get you spitting mad....just little things irritate you to no end.
I'll start...My latest pet peeves are:
People who "forget" to flush the toilet, or decide to conserve water by not flushing #1 in an office...without telling anyone else this grand plan!
Telemarketing or bill collectors who call with the "Please hold for an important message." Yeah, right. And does that really work often? (I get those calls at work, since I'm the receptionist. They have 5 seconds or less to have a real person answer in my world.)
Cell phone telemarketers who just don't understand that I don't WANT a cell phone. One of them actually asked me "But what if you were hit by a bus and needed to call for help?" My answer was "Then I would be dead and a cell phone wouldn't do any good."
And my #1 pet peeve of the moment: When my husband refers to me as "the wife" when I'm sitting right there! (Me and the wife were thinking about eating there....) Hello! I have a name, and the person you are talking to KNOWS my name too. They won't get confused, I promise.
And your pet peeves???
