Biggest pet peeve

[Jen12]

When people borrow things and then have the nerve to return them when they look like they've been dragged through a hedge backwards

I lent a co-worker a book once and I was appalled at the state that it was returned, all dog-eared and battered

I don't care so much about the state of books if someone actually reads them, but when I let someone borrow things and don't ever get them back again, it makes me nuts.

I loaned someone a CD and months later asked for it back. He told me he thought it got lost in his recent move and asked what he could do to make it up to me.

duh...buy me a replacement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My biggest pet peeve are cars that try to pass more than one car at a time or attempting to pass a semi truck(s). Some guy almost killed his family in front of me yesterday and I get near misses everytime I use the road.

My two lane road has turned into I-29 since the bridges are out and people drive like they are still on it. The weekends are even worse.

Please don't stand in doorways to chat. It makes me crazy. If you see some one you want to talk to going through in the opposite direction, BOTH of you should move aside to GET OUT OF THE WAY! Sorry but it makes me nuts along with the shopping cart thing. The chatty shoppers in the narrow aisles. You know what I am talking about!

There's a line of people for a reason! This really infuriates me

I can let the apostrophes slide in casual writing like email and discussion boards, but I can't believe it when I see random apostrophes in formal documents written by people with graduate degrees.

And it is work, so I can't give them this:

(although I have it posted on my bulletin board.)

I know I should be grateful, but . . .

DH tries to help out around the house but instead he ends up hovering. If I'm washing the dishes, don't try and wash the dishes too--dry them or put them away for crying out loud!

Summertime pet peeve: people watering their lawns. Here in Central KY, a healthy, well-established lawn does not ever need to be watered. In a long dry spell, it'll fade to tan, but turn green with the next rain. Deal with it. It's especially peeving when folks are watering on a Monday when we got about an inch of rain over the weekend, and more is predicted Wed.-Sat. this week...

Heheh - my dh is infamous for hanging around while I do stuff until I'm almost finished, and then asking if I need a hand. He does loads of houseworkhimself, he just has terrible timing when it comes to helping.

I was reminded of my pet peeve when we went to see Blue Jasmine the other night - people who so badly need to talk about themselves that they just skip the whole polite "and how are YOU doing?"-phase of a conversation. I have several of them in my family...
