Pet Peeves!

[chickwhorips]

I'm SO tired of seeing/meeting people whose shins are begging for a good kicking, and I'm *always* wearing my steel-toed Docs.

you learn well my child.

when i leave here and go back to "society" everything seems to annoy me. i think i've become to "bushey".

[pyxichick]

For some reason the kids around here have started saying "right on" when they mean to say "okay," or "yes," or "that's really cool" or "I agree. "

I've heard it so much lately, that "right on" has replaced my former number one annoying phrase, "my bad," which had previously unsettled "it's all good."

[bcipam]

I always thought "my bad" was an acknowledgment of goofing up like in "oh I spilled the beans... my bad!" An apology.

You don't wear it to the copy machine and into the bathroom at work, do you? That's what gets me.

-people who circle around the parking lot looking for a close in space when the back of the lot is empty - at the gym

-people who stop at a red light and then turn on their left turn indicator just as the light turns green, thus trapping the person behind them

-people who tell me I am "lucky" that my kids are "easy" rather than realizing just how had dh and I work to have well behaved children

-the abreviation gyno for gynocologist. I don't know why, it just sounds vulgar to me

-speed bumps

I know that I have pet peeves. Why? Because I'm not perfect. I'm having a human experience here on planet Earth LOL

Okay, just want to provide some food for thought here...

The thing is that when I object to someone else's behavior, I really feel it is because the person is mirroring something in me that is similar. For instance, when I get annoyed at my mother-in-law for being so neat and immaculate, I wonder at times if it's because I also like order and neatness. However, I'm just not motivated to clean my house every day (once a week is doable, however). My dear MIL mirrors that part of me that wants a clean house too...and well, my jealousy

I like the idea that sometimes those that are toughest to love are the ones who need it the most Yeah, it's hard for me to still swallow this, but it really felt true for me.

I know that I probably do things that would be considered one of your pet peeves I sometimes drive slow...or fast. Once in while, I may giggle very loudly in public. I slurp my tea loudly at times (I want to get every last drop). I often have poor grammar and punctuation (especially on message boards). I like to sing at times when I ride my bike, especially my mountain bike LOL.

But, underneath all of the 'annoying' stuff, I am a great person. I'm a good listener. I have compassion and if you're my friend, I'd walk a million miles uphill in the rain and snow for you. I care about people and that is what matters...in my own heart.

So...for me, what matters most is if there is love underneath the outward appearances and other 'annoyances'.

Just wanted to get this off my chest and share my own personal truth and provide food for thought.

With peace and love...and loving intentions...

People who are too nice! - Just kidding Yogabear!

Wow, guess this one hit a nerve. Glad I'm not the only one who gets peeved now and then. Thanks for sharing.

Yes I do wear my iPod to the copy machine and bathroom.

What I don't do is make cell phone calls in the bathroom (or answer them). I can't tell you how many times I've been in there and some woman makes a call and then goes into the stall to do her business - I mean her business. Man, that's just creepy!!!!!! There are some places that should always remain private...

thank you! I work in call center for a beeeg company and eveyone is doing two things at once these days, calling us and driving (If I could I'd hang up on them) and yes .... that.

I'm in the middle of a complex order with you and **** flush****

yuch.

also related to what bcipam sed about kids: I get lots of calls from elderly parents, "kid" in the background demanding DSL, wants it NOW needs it NOW whine whine on Mom/Dads line.

Get your own dang line brat.

Sure I *heart* to take the sale but I'm telling your Mom/Dad that the bill, e-mail accounts and contract is part of their account not your brats.

how about in the other ear while on the phone (cell or otherwise) or in just one ear while dealing with a customer?

And how about loud enough so that people around the user have the user's choice of music inflicted on them too!

otherwise nice, friendly people who can't tolerate children being children.

Followed closely by people who throw trash out of their cars, wait in their idling cars in the fire lane of any store, and tailgaters.
