Pet Peeves Revisited

Featured Replies

How about sticking an apostrophe on the end of every "s"? I had a high school administrator that loved his apostrophes--he never missed an opportunity to stick one in where one did not belong. It drove me nuts that a person with a Rank I still didn't know how to properly use an apostrophe!

 

I've never understood why people insert an apostrophe on the plural form of a person's last name. For example, it might say "the Henry's are coming."

Online stuff in general. Podcasts aren't paying the bills... :lol:
:lol: :lol:

I've always wondered how profitable they were, if at all.

When people say Krogers.

 

Doesn't everyone?

My most recent pet peeve is when WalMart patrons on the motorized transportation carts (I won't comment on the actual need of said carts) park in the middle of the aisle while browsing, thus preventing passage by a cart used by someone who chose and are able to walk behind their buggy. I have since chosen to ram said passengers and follow up with "oops" which usually stimulates them to move somewhat closer to the side, and allows passage by bipedal customers.

 

 

Not hacking on those who truly need the carts, I'm appreciative that they are able to do their shopping in this manner, but witnessed a woman who last week dismounted said motorized cart and chased a child down then returned to the cart and proceeded. She was the one I rammed by the way.:D

Young inexperienced drivers on cell phones.

When people are writing thoughts or whatever and put ",,,," instead of "...." .... drives me nuts

 

People who talk when I'm trying to listen to something else (i.e. radio, tv, someone else)

 

People who sit in "my" seat during class. I'm very territorial :-)

Young inexperienced drivers on cell phones.

 

Def. and texting while driving.

I can't stand people that chew with their mouth open, smacking their lips and the like.

 

Also, as mentioned by spindoc, I can't tolerate the people in the motorcarts at the mall that beep their horn and then continue at you without any attempt to move themselves. It is a right of way, not a "get out of my way" thing.

 

Lastly, do not sit and rest or talk on the weight machines while others are trying to work out. Don't talk to me either....I've resorted to my ipod to block them out.

You may be hanging around with those folks from Raceland too much...

I had a lady do this when I was in a hip hop class at our gym. It was during squats. For some reason she wasn't doing them and she decided to stand by me and chat. I was like seriously lady leave me alone.

Folks who idle in the middle of the parking lot "lane" for what seems like hours on end while they wait for someone to pull out of that primo parking spot.

 

Especially when there's an empty space 4 or 5 spots down.

Guys who shout "GET IN THE HOLE" at the top of their lungs right after someone swings.

Left-lane creepers.

 

 

If you want to go slow, fine. Just move into the right lane and get out of the way of others.

SO you get text messages from a lot of 12 year olds?

 

:lol: I shouldn't have confined it just to texting, but I do interact with some that act like 12 year olds.

People who listen to the radio and watch TV at the same time. It's IMPOSSIBLE to do both, so PLEASE....just choose one!
