Pet Peeves (Part Tres)

[SinceThe70s]

We used to have fences for home runs. If the ball ended up on the other side of the fence it was a home run. Pretty simple really. Now we have walls with home run lines and more stadiums where fans can interfere. As a result, all too often we need an instant replay review to determine if it was a HR or not.

That woman in front of you in the checkout line who has to find that penny for payment. Purse diving 201.

Or the one who pays by check and doesn't even reach for the checkbook and start writing anything until the cashier gives the total.

That one neighbor whose yard always looks like sh!t. The fact that that neighbor is usually me changes this pet peeve not one bit.

Name droppers: “Hey Fergy, I met this great guy who you should hang with some time. He’s pretty cool and super intelligent”. Uhhh, yeah, I know him and he’s not that bright. Or “I had drinks with (insert name of self proclaimed famous/cool/affluent person)”. Great, I don’t like most people, and he’s on that list.

People with a months worth of groceries for their family using the self checkout lane, and inevitably needing assistance.

I can’t stand when people in my house leave their stank ass sweaty underwear wadded up in their pants when I’m trying to do the laundry.  My son is the main culprit.  He also always leaves his stinky socks inside out.  Drives me nuts.

Or all websites now requiring you to accept or not accept them giving you cookies. Especially painful when using my cell phone.

What’s the deal with these intellectual types who have a “Book Shelter” outside their house? They leave their books in there inviting people to take them for free and read. So it’s basically a “LAMR” (Look At Me Read) trap so you can be impressed with their catalog of books. F%#! that!! I’ll read what I want and donate my books to the library.

She pales before the individual who needs 12 debit card transactions by June 25th to earn interest on her checking account, and is buying 12 cans of cat food - each rung up as individual debit card transactions.  At 5:30 pm with a long line backing up.

Parking spots reserved in front of grocery stores for “Expectant Mothers”, “Employee of the Month”, “Veterans Who Didn’t Serve Overseas but Were Honorably Discharged”, “Women Whose Maiden Name Starts with “L”, etc.??? I’m cool with Handicapped parking, but everyone else needs to park and walk. All those spots are empty (I assume ladies whose maiden names don’t start with “L” are likewise pissed).

On a related note:

 

I can't stand the people who park right outside the grocery store entrance.  It's usually some white trash 'neck whose morbidly obese wife with a better beard than Josh Allen's just got done shopping.  Heaven for ***** bid she walks her ass to the 2003 Grand Caravan.  Nope.  After all, it is THEIR world, right?

1. People who dress completely inappropriately for the weather, and then want the heating or air conditioning set to ridiculous levels so that they can be comfortable while everyone else suffers.

2. People who live in areas of extreme cold or extreme heat, and then complain about the extreme cold or extreme heat.

I park in those spots if I’m in a hurry.  There’s no law protecting parking spots reserved for anyone but the handicapped, so I view those designations as “suggestions” rather than limitations.

Josh Allen's beard is my pet peeve.  Common Joshy, shave that ***** if it's the best you can do.

The Family in front who has to checkout separately because they have their own items in the same cart.

 

I thought I only had one in front of me... not four! They can't just have one person pay and settle the debt in the car?

Not when they all are using EBT. 

[SinceThe70s]

Co-workers whose greatest contribution to the common good is calling meetings. 

 

This probably rises above the level of pet peeve for me but if I start a thread about things that p!ss me off right now I might come off as a bit unhinged.
