OK Freepers. What are some of your pet peeves? Political, or otherwise??

[irishtenor]

***I've looked in a dictionary and there's no "r" in the word. It's SHERBET. ***

I've looked at the word. I see one 'R' in the word sherbet.

Why do Pennsy drivers not get the whole slower traffic keep right thing?

Why do hypocritical “Joisey” drivers insist that they are within their rights to ignore the posted speed limit signs, but everyone else MUST obey caution signs like slower traffic keep right?

[Man50D]

People who think they know everything are particularly aggravating to those of us who do!!!!!

[tx_eggman]

People who insist on blowing their nose with one index finger and blowing.

Technically, it's called a West Texas handkerchief

...stuff...

There are speed limit signs? Color me shocked!!

[mike1sg]

Not having my change counted back!

[RockinRight]

Of course. There's ONE, but not TWO. Actually, another Freeper pointed out that the second 'R' is in fact an acceptable option according to another dictionary.

[cuz_it_aint_their_money]

There are speed limit signs?

Yep. And they are usually posted either just before or immediately after the slower traffic keep right signs! :~D

And besides, we all know that those slower traffic keep right signs only apply to the truckers that slow down to 10MPH when climbing a steep grade! Right?

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Wow, I saw some signs. There may have been numbers, but I was going too fast to read them.

Haven't read thru all the pet peeves, so this may have been posted already ... standing in a check out line at the grocery and have the person who has just been rung up ... fumble thru their purse (yeah, we're talking women) looking for a check book, or credit card, and then write a check or charge items amounting to less than $5.00 ... happens more often than you might think.

[EX52D]

LOL..thanks for the tip! ;)

Finding this thread by myself and realizing you didn't care enough to ping me.

I also don't like the word 'actually'. I think it is used way too often and is stupid.

I don't like people who ride bicycles in the road when a perfectly good sidewalk/bike path is right next to it.

Also those spandex bike suits and helmets are gay.

Joggers. Hate them. They are always complaining about their knees. Well duh!

The word 'duh'.

Raccoons, I used to like them until they killed my turkeys.

My neighbors barking dog, who is gonna look like Sam the ugly dog someday if I have anything to do about it.

Not catching fish when fishing.

Sandbars

People who live 40 miles from work and complain about the commute every day.

drywalling mud and sanding.



Any public servant, who doesn't act like one.

[Dashing Dasher]

Was that first one a cry for help - or do you just want to be added to my Pingable List?

About the rest.... Actually, Duh!

[Dashing Dasher]

Yes.... that was posted in #104.

And it was beautifully stated - something like...

1. People in long lines that act surprised when it is time to pay the cashier, and then count out pennies....

[CJ Wolf]

You have a list, isn't that for girls?

[Dashing Dasher]

I have another list for cool people.
People who like to get pinged to fun things so they can add their two cents...

Wouldn't that be you?

[CJ Wolf]

Ok add me in, please!

[Dashing Dasher]

Consider you part of the "gang"!

[CJ Wolf]

I am honored! Don't you have to beat me up first or something?
