Doesn't sound mean at all. I too consider such people to be a nuisance.

I visited New Orleans one time and I was walking down Bourbon Street. A guy comes up to me and says, "will you give me a dollar if I can tell you where you got your shoes?" I said okay and he said, "you got your shoes on your feet on Bourbon Street."
Option One: Explain to him "You see I thought you meant where I BOUGHT my shoes which just happens to be a little mom and pop store in Ft. Lauderdale. You would have never guessed that. What you said is where I HAVE my shoes which is a much easier question. "
Option Two: Give him a dollar and get the fuck out of there.
I chose option two:).
I try to be considerate toward the homeless memorizing where I see Help Wanted signs. Their signs usually say something like "Will Work For Food" so I'm respectful assuming they are honest now connecting two cooperative parties.
The over use of the word like! My goodness, can't people express themselves without saying like five times or more in a single sentence? "He was like, going to come over and like give me some help, but I like couldn't meet him then, so like I said like, maybe tomorrow might be better, but then he like said, like I can't because like I need to work tomorrow, but like maybe later in the day like....
Drives me fucking batty. I work with a 19 year old guy that does this and I want to ring his neck after the third "like" in his first sentence.
Another expression similar to that is, "You know what I mean".
Another one, is when people start a sentence with "Yea, no".... Which is it, yes or no? "Yea no, I know what you mean". "Yea no, I meant to do it yesterday"... Etc. What the fuck?
How bout when people start off by saying "needless to say"
It always means they're about to unload a pile of crap.
If it's needless ,then why say it ?
Hey Flabby, thanks for the pet peeve thread. I made two listed below and like mentioning my pet peeves as much as anyone. Damn bastards always peeving my pets!
Backpage.com Pet Peeves
Biggest Pet Peeves While Driving
People at the gym that do not put the weights back after they're done using them... and those that sweat like pigs, stand off and leave the whatever machine all sweaty.
Miserable old bastards who do nothing but piss and whine (for fucks say, they should be glad they're above ground).
People using the word Loose when they mean Lose.
The French!
Usage of LOLOLOLOL...........is that loud laughter with an echo? Laugh Out Loud Out Loud Out Loud Out Loud ...........thats a WTF and OMG wrapped into one.
Is it wrong to blow your nose into the towel provided to you by the gym and then toss it directly into the laundry bin for them to clean? My insticts say that it's really bad form and probably not even a close call. But, there's something so inviting about a warm terri cloth towel when you have a cold.
My pet hate is noisy kids. I don't like children at the best of times and noisy brats really piss me off. The worse thing, however, is noisy kids in restaurants. The last thing I need when I'm eating a good meal is brats shouting and screaming especially when the parents are ignoring the noise and playing with their phones.
I have suggested to local restaurants that they should install a cage in the car park for the kids - at least people could then dine in peace.
gaiseric, Could not have said it better myself. I don't dislike kids, they just bother me most of the time and when I go to a restaurant for a quiet meal and have to put up with noisy kids, it really ruins the meal. And I also think restaurants should put up a sign saying to turn off your cell phone. Very annoying having to listen to a loud person yelling into a cell phone.
When you say "Thank-you" and the other person responds "No problem." It doesn't even make sense.
What's your pet hate?
Well, it's not fond of having my finger up it's arse! :hide-1:
People who smoke e-cigarettes near people wrongly thinking other people would think differently from regular cigarettes.
I gotta good one. I really hate that hard form-fitting plastic packaging that you have to get the scissors and cut around enough so you can peel the darn thing off. I've cut my hand a few times on jagged edges.

That's a good one Dino. That packaging is way tougher than it has to be.
My recent one is that my phone charger lights up when I plug it in. It messes with my sleep. No reason for a phone charger to tell you it's plugged in with a way too bright light.
Speaking of packaging...who doesn't hate those perpetual statically charged Styrofoam peanuts.
Weird one... I hate it when people call me dude. No idea why?.....
Inconsiderate people, stupid people, stupid people that think they are smart, clueless people, and worst of all billy badass people that think they are cool.
Most of the Republicans in Congress.
Lobbyist
"my bad" in any context
Food workers never getting my order correct in the drive-thru, so I have to go back around. I mean what's so hard, the order is written on a screen right in front of them...
People who are still using checks to pay for things at retail stores, and don't even start to write the check until they hear the total.
Another peeve - sorry/nasty ass people who can't push a simple toilet handle down to flush their disgusting, floatin', fucking ass-hole turds down the toilet bowl....Uuuugh!! :frustrated
Tossers who keep hitting their brakes for no apparent reason...
