Besides Democrats, Trolls and Idiots.

4. Cashiers that can only count backwards.

Cashiers that can't perform simple arithmetic. My bill is $5.77. I give you $11.02 because I would like a $5 bill and a quarter back as opposed to 4 ones and 23 cents. Please don't be confused by this! And don't hold on to my $10 bill and hand me my $1 bill back while telling me that I gave you too much money. I know what I gave you!

Whiners.

Hypochondriacs.

Egotistics-know-it-all whose every conversation undoubtedly starts with “I.”

Lies that become “facts”... and I don't mean evidence of one particular case, which I never denied, but the non-existent evidence of gossip and innuendo.

And of course, immaturity.

1. Folks who pretend to be conservatives but end up, somehow, coming down on the side of nanny-state liberalism and urge being "reasonable" when it comes to fighting the stifling orthodoxies of the left every single time; 2. FReepers who get into heated flame wars, which they've often instigated, who then go on to accuse their opponents of "stalking" them (though I haven't had cause to tangle with them, there is a scummy little coterie that indulges in such tactics with other posters all the time); 3. Posters who think another person's family/kids are "fair game" in a debate that they are having with them (yes, I've run into three of these here at FR).

Indeed, posters who fit the profile of #1 & #2 have made an appearance in this very thread, I see (though not the OP, AFAIK).

When a person says:

"Well the computer....."

As if the tool not the person is at fault!!!

-Traffic jams that are caused by people slowing down to 22 miles an hour on the highway to gawk at an accident on the OTHER SIDE OF THE DAMN HIGHWAY

-People who refer to the name of a restaurant as the name of the food they ate (ex. "I had Taco Bell for lunch")

-People who say "for all intensive purposes" (it's for all INTENTS and purposes)

-that the Rock and Roll hall of fame contains a lot of music that ain't rock and roll

-When you're all ready to go, then you go into the bathroom and step in water, getting your socks soaked

-colds where your nose is stuffed on one side and it periodically switches

-When you're at a red light, in the left lane stopped, and a big truck is turning left on to your road, and because they turn so wide, you have to put the car in reverse and BACK UP, or the truck will hit you

-Public restrooms with no paper towels, just those stupid dryers (no good if you have to wash your face or something)

1. Wisconsin winters with no snow.
2. Fat chicks with a steering wheel in one hand and a cell phone in the other, taking up half your lane to pass you in order to be first in line at the upcoming red light.
3. Reformulated gas.
4. Newbie biker wannabes dressed up like a walking Motorclothes catalog.
5. The thought of the Harley employee responsible for selecting Elton John as the headliner at the 100th still being gainfully employed at the Motor Company.
6. Rain on parade day.
7. Having to be towed in from three miles out by the Coast Guard, again.
8. Freepers who think they're witty/clever/insightful by using the phrase "organ donors".
9. Riding behind a pickup truck with a driver chewing tobacco.
10. GoldWing riders who don't wave back.

Men who abuse women and vice versa.

People taking the Lord's Name in vain.

People who curse casually or even deliberatly to provoke.

Ditto on profane bumper stickers and attire.

Males who impregnate females without first marrying them.

Women who fall for one-night stand types.

I don't wear panties. I wear underwear.

Thanks for sharing. Always a thrill, as usual.

"3. Get off my butt, or prepare for me to introduce myself to you at the next light."


Amen to that! I have few pet peeves, but that is very high on my list. I give people in front of me plenty of room (relative the speed of travel) because 1) it is courteous and 2) good, safe driving practice. I bleeding HATE tailgaters. Why do these buggarwits feel compelled to drive 1/2 inch from the rear bumpers of others whether they are driving 20 miles per hour or 80 MPH?

ROFL! No fish for you!! :-)

And the ice melts, the bait goes bad, gotta clean the boat anyway, repair and parts for the boat, the wife yells at you about that lousy hole in the water where you pour money and you have to restring two reels!!! AND STILL NO FISH and there ain't nothin' on TV and you're too grumpy to do anything but polish the bike inside the locked garage ALONE! (thinking about fish)

:-)

The (non) word "anyways."

Using apostrophes for plurals.

People who don't know the difference between "your" and "you're."

People on airline flights who think they're entitled to half of your seat space just because you are small and they are large.

Arrogance. (I have found that those who act the most arrogant are those with which the least about which to be arrogant.)

Men who act macho and try to be intimidating when they are faced with a strong, intelligent woman. (I get SO weary of taking those types "to school.)

People who believe everything the media says and go spouting if off as if it is gospel.

Okay, this is not a pet peeve, but since you brought up ATMs, why do they have braille info on them? That always cracks me up.

Especially the ones at DRIVE-THROUGHS. LOL
