What are your pet peeves ?

[Tornadic Thoughts]

Pop up prompts on web sites that I visit on purpose who make offers in addition to what I'm genuinely interested in and the no option is worded something like, "No. I don't wish to improve my life.", or, "No. I don't want to save any money." I don't go any further than that. Click. I talk down to myself enough in my own damn head without taking on their negative nancy messages, too. lol

No. I don't wish to improve my life.", or, "No. I don't want to save any money."

...because I’m not a gullible fool who believes that when you’re pissing on me it’s actually raining. Good effort, Mr. too lazy to pay for marketing less than 30 years old.

Those stupid, dumb scam messages on my phone and laptop that tell me I have won a competition I never entered!!! :banghead:

I hate when people say they will do something and then not follow through. If you say your coming to the house, come to the house, don't leave me waiting when you know you aren't coming. At least pick up the phone and say you're not coming!!! Sheeesh!!!

^^^^^ This !! What @Lionheart777 said.

I am cheesed off at the lackadaisical attitude of the local Water authority regarding a leak in water pipes I reported.

We are in the middle of the worst drought in recorded history and they are letting it piss down into the gutter like we have plenty to spare!!!! :banghead:

How many phone calls does it take - ya dorks??

 

[blackemerald1]

Oh... finally - they fixed the pipe but only after I made another call and reminded them about their Water Conserving Policy they kill a forest educating us about. :wtf:

~People who chew gum with their mouth open, especially when on the phone. Or someone chewing with their mouth open...hate the sound of slurpy chewing sounds.
~People who invade my personal space
~People who want to kiss my cheek, in greeting
~People who hug me in greeting
~People who have to keep touching me when talking to me...hate the patronizing attitude.
~People who talk and barely take a breath to allow someone else to talk
~People who ask for advice and then don't stop talking long enough to hear the advice.
~People who bulldoze: they just come in and take over and are the expert on everything.
~People who talk loudly on their phones with no regard for those around them, like in a restaurant, waiting room, elevator etc.
~Pop up adds on the computer. Will never buy from someone so rude and assuming in their advertising approaches.
~Phone solicitors: also will never buy from their companies for the same reason as above.

There's this one kid in my friendship group at school and I swear, he is my pet peeves personified. He looks over your shoulder all the time, doesn't have much sense of space, has the MOST annoying laugh that he does when you get a question wrong, points out all the flaws in something you've done while his own work is crap, talks non stop when it's clear you don't want to be spoken to, gives unsolicited (and absolutely crap) advice about solving a problem that nobody asked for, and follows you around when it's clear you're trying to get away from people. But he doesn't walk very slowly. So that's a plus.

 

[blackemerald1]

Oh @jaay - sounds like he is socially awkward and wants to be included but doesn't have the right skill set...

Poor grammar and spelling.
