List your pet peeves

I have 3 (in no special order)
Stop putting Dr in front of your name if you're not a real physician or dentist. If you spent 12 years of your life studying French literature that's your parent's problem. You're a pretentious douchebag if you think anyone cares about your PhD.

For the ladies... stop using 2 last names. You can't have it both ways when you get married. Decide to keep your old name or take hubby's. I'm tired of having to write emails to Catherine Spielberg Goldberg. I get it. You have a big shot job and you snared a dude. Now pick a fucking name.

Stop tailgating on the highway. Don't people remember the Driver's Ed handbook we all had to read to get our learner's permit? 1 CAR LENGTH for every 10 miles of speed. If I see your fat ugly face in my rear view mirror, you're too fucking close.

I'm done with rant. anyone care to add ?

To all you assholes who drive in the left lane at 40 MPH when the speed limit is 65.

DRIVE RIGHT PASS LEFT YOU MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I flash my lights, I'm only asking you to move your slow ass to the right, not for you to slow down even more........... fucking douche bag.

Thanks...I needed that

When NY and PA drivers go the speed limit in the left lane while driving in Jersey. In NJ the left lane is for passing only. So NY and PA drivers stay the fuck to the right!

Cabbies and other drivers that just stop wherever they want to pick up or unload their passengers. Oblivious to the people behind them.

Procrastination. Unfortunately I'm guilty of this one.

Spots on glasses and silverware at restaurants.

When you send an important email and end with. "Kindly confirm receipt of this email" and they just fucking blow you off.

When people are chronically late and then make up some obviously bullshit story to get away with it.

Political mis information and unnecessary red tape.

Wa wa wa wa wa wa wa. Thanks flab I love rehashing my peeves. Get to live them over and over and over again. Lol

When women attempt to operate a vehicle.

People who stop traffic to make an illegal left turn. We all do illegal things when we're driving. Illegal u-turns, illegal left turns, drive too fast. Just don't expect people to make special allowance for your illegal acts. By all means, make the illegal u-turn, but only if the opportunity is there to do it unobtrusively.

Actually I want to incorporate some from the op. That's brilliant. The PHD who insists upon being called doctor.

But what about the doctor who corrects people who don't know them and simply forgot to use the title doctor. That's a bit douchey. They are doctor and deserve to be called doctor, but if someone who doesn't know them from a hole in the wall calls them Mr. they can let it go.

people that say "you do the math"

We have Carpool Lanes here and some think there are special turn lanes for cars that cost over $70,000. I guess we're lucky they're still willing to hit up the Arco to take a shit.

Public toilet etiquette probably is a good source of pet peeves. One of the stalls I went into today someone hocked a loogie (if it wasn't a loogie it's worse) on the toilet seat. Someone should be able to try to flush you down the toilet for that. I know it's impossible, but they deserve the chance to try.

Bicycle lanes in Manhattan...one of the stupidest ideas ever.

I want to add to this...it's bad enough that a cab will stop in an active lane, right in front of you, to drop off a passenger, but I really hate when the douche bag passenger then takes his time to make small talk and takes his sweet ass time to disembark and let traffic continue on its way.

Middle aged skate boarders and razor skooter riders....really?!!....grow the fuck up.

Those fucks who decide to make a right hand turn without moving over to the right, therefore impeding the flow of moving traffic. Move the fuck over when making a right hand turn! It's not that hard. Caramba!

This as well.

And another thing...if I'm doing 70 in the fast lane, don't speed past me at 80 only to get in front of me to do 55.

Also, I hate it when I'm blinking to make a lane change and the other car refuses to let me over. Yes, this happens...but it pisses me off more when they speed up as soon as my blinker comes on and THEN gets into the lane I just got out of. I mean, c'mon...you could've just gotten behind me Summers Eve!

rude ass people at the movie theaters with either their king kong feet kicked
up over the chair that's only a couple from you, .... or bringing their crying,loud, noisy, hollerin' brats that block out all theater sound around me, ...and of course
the dreaded cell phones that they have to pull out and start scrollin' and texting while the movie is going on.... !! ....... [Arrgh! it just gets harder
and harder to enjoy oneself at the local movie theaters. :pissed:

....... now on to the stupid, inconsidered driving fools that are a flat out traffic hazard and an accident waiting to happen.

major pet peeves for me

- lazy people that shop at Grocery Stores that leave the shopping carts all over the fucking parking lot. you really can't walk 10 feet to put the cart away in the proper cage? goddamn lazy fucks

- people that always have their mouth open. Unless you have a breathing problem or some sort of jaw/muscle deformity or medical condition that requires the mouth to be open , close your fucking mouth. you look like a fucking dumbass (women included)

- "fashionably late" people, If you say you're going to be somewhere at a certain time, be there you inconsiderate fuck. I don't feel like waiting 15 minutes for your ass to show up. (only exceptions are hot girls that are going to have sex with me, they can show up an hour late, it's ok)

most if not all doctors identify their very existence by their job title. i have consistently noticed this across the board, at least in USA and asia.

People that cross the street while chatting on their phones.

I don't really care if they have the light or not... if they're not paying attention and a car hits them, they will die or get seriously injured. Don't put your life in the hands of some unknown driver.

This is particularly irritating in cities like New York and London where you have a million pedestrians 360 degrees around you and you have to watch out not to hit some idiot that is not paying attention.

People Texting with the keypad sound on


Wobbly Tables in restaurants

fuck off... doctor who is going to stick his sonic screwdriver up your shit hole

people that throw their garbage in the streets as if the world is their receptacle...even worse when parents see their small children doing it and don't correct them...and then there are the good folks who have a full breakfast on the subway and then leave the full garbage on the seat or under it.

Love the new avatar!

It's all here - Grumpy Old Men: Series 1, Episode 1 - Is This the World We Created? - YouTube

You are standing in a long line at the supermarket. The women in front of you wait until the cashier totals up their order andTHEN THEY START DIGGING IN THE SUITCASE THEY CARRY AS A POCKET BOOK TO DIG OUT THEIR WALLET, THEN DECIDE OH I HAVE THE 98 CENTS IN CHANGE AND COUNT OUT 98 CENTS IN NICKELS, DIMES AND PENNIES. TAKE OUT YOUR FUCKING WALLET WHILE YOU ARE ON LINE TO KEEP THINGS MOVING YOU OLD BITCHES

A neighbor who lets his dog bark all the time. Then calls the cops on me when I have band practice during legal hours at my house...fucking hypocrite asshole.

Sorry but I didn't start this thread so I am really venting and it feels good....thanks

People who insist on being called my their full name, ie, Peter not Pete, Joseph, not Joe, Jillian not Jill etc.

People who refer to themselves in the third person, what assholes.

The Kardashians. Why are these useless people famous?????
My wife loves them, which doesn't say much for her lol.

They leave those darn carts right in the parking spaces. I gotta get outta my truck and push it up over the curb/bump thing.

Another grocery store pet peeve I have is when someone puts their items on the belt and won't put the divider stick afterward to separate their groceries from mine. I end up leaning and reaching over them to do it for them.

Not a pet peeve but I usually shop at stores like Ralph's or Von's where we put our groceries on the belt and push our own cart through. When I go to Gelson's they do it for you. Now there is no cart to provide a space for human comfort. I don't know how close to stand behind the customer in front of me.

Dino, a couple of years ago I had just parked at the supermarket and a young couple unloaded their cart and left it standing next to their car. The cage for the cart was on the other side of their car. As they were pulling out I went over to get the cart and I was shaking my head at them. They yelled out to me, thought you needed some exercise. How are parents bringing up their kids now a days?

People, mostly on tv, who wave their hands around when talking but are not Italian or Spanish. Hand gestures mean something in Italy, so to see some presenting doing it because, in reality, they are nervous is annoying. Even more so because I did a course in presentation skills and was told not to move around, wave my hands around or do anything that these so-called professionals do, which makes me think they are not professional at all. Turn the sound off and you realise how silly it is; and also note that when a skilled presenter doesn't do it their overall presentation is superior.

People,mostly young people, who swear in public -I understand why rude words exist, and can understand when someone out of pain or frustration uses them, but I am offended when I hear people using the f word or something similar in the street or on a bus. Problem is if I were to complain I might get a knife in my gut. Or a mouthful of verbal abuse.

'Chuggers' or those quality beggars who try to stop me on the street and get a monthly subscription to a charity. I will even cross the road to get away from them. Even worse is when they have some inane patter intended to make you smile as if this is going to make you stop and listen to some sob story about people deserving of my £5, as if am incapable of making a contribution when I want, how I want, to whom I want.

People talking on cell phones in restaurants - Are you that fucking important??? Go outside!

Yessir. Waving your hands in the air like you just don't care is rather annoying. I'm not sure if they're trying to engage me in a game of charades or a contest of Karate. Possibly shucking corn 'cuz it sure is corny.

1. People who do not acknowledge you with a wave or nod when you allow them to cut in front of you in traffic or other similar driving circumstance when you demonstrate you are A MORE FUCKING EVOLVED PERSON THAN THEY ARE.

2. I once read about a guy who had a friend that knew a dude that considered being annoyed when he dreamt about a m2f never-gonna-op transsexual casually stating at a hypothetical dinner party to a very cool and LGBT friendly mother of three "Well, I'm just as much a woman as you are." Had such alleged statement ever been made it could have potentially led said totally cool, understanding and supportive mother of three to infer that this totally sexy and passable-in-forgiving-lighting-never-even-considered-SRS m2f transsexual was implying that mother of three was an uncaring, insensitive Christo/Fascist for simplying observing a basic biological fact within the context of a thoughtful and polite conversation.

3. You're not a doctor if you can't write a prescription for oxycodone. At least your not my doctor.

4. People trying to be clever who don't have the balls to come right out and say what they mean.

Mets fans who are Yankee haters.
The Boston Red Sox

on my smartphone so forgive the bad punctuation...

people who don't use their turn signals. people who hand the clerk a bunch of invalid coupons. this happened just the other day; stupid limey woman who can't fucking read "must buy two ". jeeezus! she handed the guy FOUR invalid coupons. people who dont look right when making a right turn. people who belch in public. people who put their feet up on the bus seats or stretch their legs across the aisle. people who let their dog leash block your path. people with loud dogs. salesclerks who dont engage you but in endless checkout chatter.

the list is endless.

oh yeah, forgot to add how infuriating it is to see an endless number of bad, redundant photos posted by the CD's in this forum and on Flickr. i mean how many goddam stupid pics of you do think we want to see?

for that matter, the same applies to all the tgirls and all their dumb FB selfies. the side shot with one hand on their head, their pumped butt stuck out and that coy little pout. once or twice is all you need chica; 137 times is overkill. and you all know this girl quite well.

People that constantly spit...and also - I can't understand how grabbing your crotch, even when speaking in public...or in front of a lady, became so common place...can someone explain the necessity...it's disgusting.

Women who promise to call you and then don't and women who encourage you to call them and then are uninterested when you call them.

Mentally unhinged people given authoritative power.

People who go into a meltdown when told "no."

A person in the front of the line who allows a couple dozen people to cut ahead.

People who make a mistake and blame it on someone else.

People who are well off who think they have the moral authority to cast negative judgements about people not as well off as them.

People who brush off concerns when safety is an issue or when misconduct occurs.

Politicians who call out the other side for shortcomings and don't hold themselves to the same standards.

People who come off in a condescending and patronizing way.

People who offer unsolicited advice.

People who are ungrateful not matter how hard you worked for them.

People who throw good friends under the bus for personal gain.

People who go into a hissy fit when called out for doing something wrong.

Bullies.

Online trolls.

Bigots.

People who resort to ad homenim attacks when another person expresses an opinion he/she doesn't agree with.

And, oh, did I forget? Hypocrites.

Did I leave anybody out?

This one is going to sound mean but I don't mean it that way. When a homeless man comes up to me and instead of asking for money, pretends he wants to introduce himself and talk.

The common routine is they come up and try to shake your hand. Then they say something innocuous to pretend like they really want to have a conversation with you. Then they ask for money. Just ask for it to start with...I might give it to you, but the charade is too insincere.

There's also the story about how they just need bus fare, or just got out of prison and need their first ride home. I've been asked for this. We want a friendly society, but how am I supposed to respond to a perfect stranger who tells me they just got out of prison and want a ride home? Can you at least tell me the charge? Oh, you killed someone in a car huh?
