I have a few: When grocery shopping with my wife, she always want to put all her groceries into the front flip out section of the grocery cart. She will stack as much as possible in this section before having to rely on the larger section of the grocery cart. Is there something wrong with the larger section of the cart that men don't know about? Looking around the grocery store, it seems to be a pretty common occurance. Many women try to put as much as they can in this small flip out section. I've even tried to reason with my wife - that small children with leaky diapers sit in this section. Do you want your food in the same place that they sit? Doesn't sound clean to me!

People who say "I could care less" when in fact they mean "I couldn't care less". It just bugs me :)

Close mindedness. Especially when making important decisions.

And Blame-storming. It's more important for some people to find someone to blame than it is to find the solution.

the people I hate are the people who come half way into your lane THEN turn on their turn signal .. at that point WHY BOTHER????? I mean really its so stupid ... if you are half way in the lane they know by that point you are changing lanes why turn the signal on .. its like neener neener I know where my turn signal is .. I'm just too stupid to use it before I change lanes.

Hmmmm, Namuna, good answer!

Here is my rant, please forgive my vitriol...

At the moment, my pet peeves are people who don't take responsiblity for themselves and their actions, especially family members who refuse to clean up after themselves.... Is the trash can THAT hard to find? The laundry hamper is only visible to me? Harumph.

Also, being judged based on my appearance. Why do looks have to be important in a relationship that is supposed to have been based on higher ideals? Grumble, kvetch, moan!

:|

Now, somebody start a thread about things that make us happy so I can focus on the good things again...

;)

People who chew with their mouths open. The sight doesn't bother me, but the sound is disgusting. You would think that anyone over the age of 5 would have been taught how to close their mouth while eating... grrrr....

My worst - People who "think highly" of themselves... (know it alls)

People "at work" that bug me about their "home" computers... because they think that because I'm the computer guy "at work", I'm supposed to give them all the advice they want for their "home PC's" ARRRRRRRRRRRRRG!!! (I tell them to buy a Gateway and leave me alone.... LMAO!)

People that post about posting pet peeves..

j/k about that last one ;)

[edit] Isla, I've just noticed something... you've been posting here for less than two months and have 1495 posts! Geesh! uhmmmm, nevermind... hehe [/edit]

LOL, you are right!

Talk about being in a time warp!

Actually, whitedog, I have pondered this... I think it has something to do with not having anyone over the age of 13 to talk to most days...

I consider this my daily 'conversations', and yes, I like to talk. ;)

Old drivers. The ones that drive huge-ass Caddillacs & Lincolns, and insist on driving 30 mph in a 55 zone, and STILL can't stay in their own damned lane, thus making it impossible to pass them.

And people who use run-on sentences.

Large unannounced emails. My work is notoriously bad for that (ever DL a 12MB email on a 26.4k connection? I have)

People who blame everyone else for everything bad and takes credit for everything good.

The music made me do it, the dog told me too, microsoft the evil empire told me too. How come no one does something good and explains to the media that my dog told me to do it, or that it was in a rap song, or a video game, or on a tv show.

There is always a way out, it just takes the time to look for it.

slow ass, inconsiderate drivers in the fast, passing, and carpool lane.

people who expect me to fix their computers because i'm a computer nerd. and when i do fix it, they don't even appreciate it.

and i agree w/u guys about the 'blame storming'

Ms Average, two babies sucking and tugging later and things just dont look like they did when she was 16. Mr Average, spends a lifetime trying to get Babes to suck and tug, add a little blood and its just like when he was 16. :eek: :| :D
Just doesnt seem fair to me !

Then, there are the people who leave their grubby little finger prints over my monitor, , I HATE that.
