Public Pet Peeves

  1. People who charge everything to their credit cards. “Next guy in front of me that pays for Newsweek with a credit card is getting stabbed in the eyes!” I’ve seen someone buy gum.

  2. People who use the world as their toilet. This includes people who don’t clean up after their pets, people who flick cigarette butts where they please, etc.

  3. People who have nothing to talk about but celebrities. Seriously, turn off the TV, put down the US Weekly, get a life, you really have no idea what’s going on in theirs.

Note: List subject to change on a daily basis, as there are always people acting imbecilic.

The thing that absolutely pisses me off the most is a skinny little teenage guy fucking a fat teenage girl in public. I know most people don’t really think this happens all that often but I have seen it working at a security job and worst of all saw it at a mall one day. These wo stupid little fuckers were right outside the entrance to the store I worked at, behind some eight inch tall plants and had their friend “looking out”. One of security gaurds grabbed me to go out with him because I was the biggest salesman and when we got out there and told them to leave they just looked at us like we were crazy. What the hell is wrong with the youth of today? Do they not realize that parents could walk past there with their kids? That was a year ago and it still pisses me off. The other times have been working security at a nascar race so that is kind of to be expected.

You don’t know how many times I have felt like doing that. Especially when I’m carrying 50 lbs. of canned goods, and they are making a beeline for me. OR, if they walk around a corner without looking, and somehow figure it’s your fault.

People who cop attitude when I’m trying to be polite. I go to the grocery store and i need some frozen veggies. I get to the isle and there is some old guy just standing infront of the section i need. I wait a good 45 seconds, then say “Excuse me sir, can i get in there for a moment”, and he guy gives ME the skunk eye and acts like I kicked his cane out from under him.
Same thing in the mall. I want to walk somewhere and someone’s in the way. I politely say “Excuse me” or “Pardon me” and the person who is standing in the middle of the isle holding an inpromptu family reunion gives me shit.

For me, it has to be the superfan at ballgames. The guy who has season tickets one or two sections from where you sit, so you get to see him every night. Generally, he’s outfitted with:

-Floppy hat covered in buttons
-The same Tony Guinn vintage jersey two sizes too small, every night
-Headphones so he can listen to the radio broadcast, every night.
-The audacity to update everyone in earshot to the play by play.
-Mardi Gras Beads.

I know the guy has every right to do what he wants, but he drives me insane.

1.) People who pass me on the right at a high rate of speed while blowing their horn at me.

2.) People staring at me and making gestures while I eat.

3.) Guys twice my size that don’t think I can one punch them like I saw on UFC last night.

4.) People trying to talk to me on the right when they can plainly see that my Bluetooth headset is on that side and they know I can’t hear what they’re saying through it.

5.) Pushy chinese people that won’t let me go back to their buffet line for the 14th time. Can’t they see I’m hungry - still.

Funny.
That reminds of a real pet peeve of mine. When I’m driving down the highway in the middle lane, because I’m going faster than the old people in the right lane, and some jackass comes up behind me doing about 10-15 mph faster and tailgates for a few seconds before changing into the left lane to pass me and cut right in front of me before taking off. All of this with the left lane wide open, mind you.
