I’m new here but loved this thread and it’s replies…
my public pet peeves are…
1.jerks who drive in the left lane (when they are clearly going slower than the rest of us)
2.the ear-thingie for cell phones bothers me too (i seem to always think they are speaking to me and look like a dumb arse when I realize they aren’t).
3.people who are consumed with their children and tend to say their name every chance they get. (so-and-so did this and so-and-so did that).
4.women who wear clothing that they shouldn’t be wearing (just because that halter top and mini skirt come in size 26 doesn’t mean it should be worn in public).
that’s a good start for me, i am sure i will think of more as the day goes on.
People who take the good things in life for granted - things like wealth, good fortune, not to mention this beautiful planet we live on; don’t fucking litter! just put the goddamn can in the recycle bin! go outside and WALK to the store once in awhile! Don’t dump fucking motor oil into a drain! RECYCLE IT. Don’t drive a goddamn humvee 50 miles to work every day! What a friggin’ waste.
Rude people. Don’t be an asshole to the dude at the checkout stand in the store - he’s got a tough enough job without you berating him over soemething he has no control over. Don’t be a dick to your waiter/waitress. Don’t cut people off and drive like an asshole and then get all pissed off if someone flashes their brights or honks their horn at you.
Religious hypocrites - don’t try to shove your bible down my throat and then cheat on your wife with the babysitter, beat your kids, and vote for war-mongering careless pricks who take EVERYTHING in life for granted.
…that’s about it, really. Not much else bothers me.
People who watch reality tv and have nothing else to discuss but that.
People eating out 99% of the time and don’t even know how to boil an egg.
People addicted to cigarettes and coffees and think that because they smoke they are entitled to more breaks then people who aren’t addicted to nicotin and coffein.

I know this person who LITERALLY didnt know how to boil water or where to buy hamburger meat. Shows you that having more money than you know what to do with doesnt equate to an ounce of intelligence.
People at my table in a resturant who-
a. Pick an item on the menue, then change everything about it.
b. Complain to the waitstaff that it isn’t done right.
c. Smugly proclaim that the server will get no tip for that horrible meal.
People who grab your shoulder or arm while talking to you. I like to grab the offending limb and squeeze it till the person is obviously in a good bit of pain.
People who buy alcohol in the express lane when there’s a fifteen year old working and then they write a check.
Fat asses at Sams club on the weekend who putt around with their head up their butt making sure they hit every single free sample while leaving their cart in the middle of the aisle.
Stupid housewives that drive huge trucks or SUVs that don’t fit in a normal parking slot but they park hanging over the right line so they’ve got room to open their door but I don’t.

The exact opposite is worse. I hate people who take there kids out in public then tune them out. Nothing like going thru a meal when the 3 year old at the next table is screaming “MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY”
of course all of the above pretty much but to include the following,
people that let their kids run like wild animals
people that do not control their dogs
people that let their cats run free
people drying their private parts over the hand dryer at the gym-air blow type
mean people
rude people
players male and female
cell phones in cars - the worst
groups of cyclists taking up the entire lane
my boss, concieted contemptous asswipe
enough for now
People who smoke around me when i’m eating. its not something i could stand even when i was a smoker.
“spillage” girls with non slender stomachs and lots of self confidnse who think its acceptable to have there belly fat spilling between there tight tops and jeans.
I got one. Last I week I bought some spray and wash. I didn’t notice the 50 cent sticker/coupon on the bottle t’ill I got home. So I’m thinking to myself why didn’t the bitch at the cash say anything? Oh yeah that’s right, she dosen’t give a fuck.
I have another one, douchebags (usually teenagers and early 20s) that drive too fast through my neighborhood. There is no reason to drive 45 - 50 mph in a 20mph zone where the kids play. My neighbors and I are all getting pretty sick of this and I am afraid of one of those little punks hits a kid, some of the neighbors might drag them out and kill them like that mob in Chicago a couple years ago.
Also, would it be so fucking hard to turn your stereo down when you pull into the neighborhood late at night, I don’t care how loud you are bumpin’ at the lights on the main lane (I may still think you are assclown), but fuck sake, at least turn it down instead of bumpin’ folks out of bed at 1am.

So true. We have a couple of these asshats that live down the street from us. I swear that they are trying to beat their quarter mile time each time they leave the house.
People who piss all over the toilet seat in public restrooms.
People who shit and don’t flush in public restrooms.
Guys who sidle up to you at the urinal even though there is 4 other empty ones.
The quarter inch of water around the toilet theat keeps you from taking a shit because if you drop your pants they will get wet.
People who use a whole freakin roll of toilet paper to wipe their freakin ass and heap the toilet bowl full.
The old dude in the tux asking me if I need assistance when I’m trying to releive my self. Of all the place I could use a valet the restroom isnt one of them.
Damn I could go on for ever just on the filth and stupidty going on in public restrooms.
I’m getting better at not getting annoyed about stuff I can’t change, but one thing that’s guaranteed to get me is fat people telling me that ‘diets don’t work’. I don’t understand why people find it so hard to eat healthy. If you can’t control the food you stick in your own mouth then what do you control?
I’ve had quite a few fat clients telling me that ‘it’s genetic’ and they’ve tried everything and nothing works. I have a hard time not saying “bullshit fatty. You are fat because you consistently eat crap food and don’t ever get off your arse except to get more shit out of your fridge to stick down your pie hole”.
But that wouldn’t get me too many clients. It’s still pathetic though.
