When someone snaps there food and eats with there mouth open and when someone sneezes and does not cover it with a tissue it is disgusting!
Zombie-people who I can only assume are on some heavy prescription drugs or something. You know, the ones in the store who lurch along (I'm not talking about the disabled or elderly here - to be clear), or stop and take up an entire aisle and then stare at you blankly when you have to physically move their cart and squeeze yours by painstakingly. They are the same ones who drive several miles under the speed limit and then look really freaked out when you pass them, like you must be going warp-speed or something. There seems to be an epidemic of that condition in my home state. Maybe its in the water - good thing I only use the stuff for coffee.
RooBee........ Really.. We have lots here too and you're right it is the Water!!
Don't you hate the fact that their whole family is the same?
I just go to an aisle that is empty and come back to the occupied aisle later. From past experience I have learned some people are actually looking at what they want on the shelf, so they do not move right away. I never want to inch around anyone's cart, so I find another empty aisle and just come back later. It works like a charm
.Yer rite ya know a few and theres nowt wrong with bad grammar ya know, damn lazy Captain. Does it count if they deliberately do their grammar bad lol

People that appear to have no manners or proper dining etiquette that choose to consume food in public (chewing with mouth open, purse on table, elbows on table, napkin on table, etc.) lol sorry - this stuff really gets to me. was forced to learn as a child.
Laziness
People who absolutely can't control their kids in public
Rude flight attendants (the worse!),waitstaff, bartenders, store clerks, etc.
People who put on dvds for their kids on an airplane, but do not provide headphones. Therefore, the entire airplane section can hear a Dora the Explorer sing-a-long or something.
Co-workers who think they're your boss, when in fact you rank above them on the chain of command and pay grade.
People with much less, to no experience in an area trying to tell you how to think, when you know for certain you're 110% correct.
I'm sorry...did you say just one? Those are all pretty sore spots for me.
I should add, I'm truly not a b****!!! I promise. I just like things a certain way...too much to ask for? lol (Before you posted this I had removed that pet peeve, because I realized that it may sound cold and callous....not what I was going for)
Perhaps I should've worded it "people who fish for compliments that they know the answers to." I just think there are ways for people to build their self-esteem besides trying to evoke shallow or not necessary compliments.
I agree that we need to have compassion for people but there are individiuals who in the past that I have dealt with that really bring down the rest of the team by constantly fishing for compliments that they know the answers to. Based on previous experience, I'm not sure if it's healthy to constantly give praise and compliments to a person who are frequently going to great lengths to get these compliments.
AHHHHH And I seriously was going to have soup for lunch today...thanks.
What about getting hair in your meal that is the exact color and length of your waitress's hair and when you calmly ask them to send it back, they get all defensive and try to tell you it's YOUR hair. I've had this happen several times. For example, I once had a long-haired blond try to tell me that the hair was mine(I am a medium length brunette. )
Tuning people out is a good strategy, one that works very well, if you can do it. Most of the time you can, but not always.
I used to have to work very closely with people that were very high-strung and we'd put in 14-18 hour days. I guess it was almost more like a family; really good times and really hard times. I'm glad I'm looking to move towards a new profession, though. Anything was allowed in my old career. Anything. Political campaign staffers aren't the most professional people around. You're not hired because of personality or your ability to work with others, rather your ability to get the job done and work insane hours.
Last year, was a wake up call for me and I realized that I'm suited for a more professional, corporate environment where there are at least a few guidelines to adhere to. I'm a stickler for professionalism in the workplace.
Sweetie-Pie, you are so .... Sweet!
For the most part, I let things slide off my back as well. In regard to the aisle-blockers, I just usually go to the next aisle, too, BUT it still stands to reason that the entire thoroughfare needn't be blocked for someone to find their desired item.Ignorance or an unwillingness to look at another persons point of view.
I hate going to the loo in the middle of the night ,thinkin the seats down and its not!!....grrr
People who finger food, to get to a bigger piece...grr
loud noises when I wake up..
mothers taking their frustrations out on small children..
animal lovers who want me to pat their smelly flea ridden darlings...
ooops ..ive stopped
oh what about the idiot who speeds past you only to pull in and then park? (whats with that?)- wordscribe41posted 14 years ago0
Creepy, hairy men who wear Speedos (aka through-the-crack ball sacks) to family swim sessions at the Y or community centers. No family to accompany them. It's icky and wrong.

Let's see,
being interrupted when talking or writing;
having people read over my shoulder;
people eavesdropping;
sticky keyboards;
direspect for others;
drivers honking for no reason...
I think I had better stop....

exchange one word in the sentence for another.
Change one word in the sentence, and send it to the next hubber. The beginning sentence is:The young boy and his dog were walking down the dirt road. I am going to change the word his to your making it--The young boy and your dog were walking down the dirt road.
