What's your biggest Pet Peeve?

Vanity | Jan 12th, 2006 | Laney

Just wondering what truly annoys freepers or drives you nuts?

Besides Democrats, Trolls and Idiots.

[Prairie Wave]

People automatically assuming I'm a liberal just because I'm a single parent!

[Drew68]

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

Haha! Guilty as charged! In my defense, when I say I had Taco Bell for lunch it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out what I ate. Taco Bell has managed to make 30 different menu items with the same 5 ingredients.

[WasDougsLamb]

----People who try to force their opinions on others just because they think theirs are the only ones that matters. And therefore, others are not allowed to have opinions on anything.

[ovrtaxt]

People who use 'literally' when they describe something- and the thing they say couldn't possibly be literal!

[RockinRight]

Oh, I know. In fact I even do it too sometimes. However, it just annoys me for some reason.

[Maximus of Texas]

"People who no longer stand and remove their hats for the National Anthem. "

Along those lines, it peeves me to see people put their hands over their hearts during the singing of the NA. It's not a show of disrespect like the hat thing but the NA is not a pledge. You put your hand over your heart for the Pledge of Alliegance, not the NA. For the NA, just stand straight and sing your heart out.

[Dashing Dasher]

I love to sing the national anthem... At the top of my lungs, proudly.

Scares small children most times. But, I don't care!

"Maybe because we hear NOTHING BUT male bashing in the media or in the "real world?"

I don't disagree with you about the male bashing that takes place in the media or in the "real world" but the conservative women I know, my daughters, my sisters, my mother and the 99% of the conservative women that post here, do not join in or support this philosophy or engage in this behavior. I do not allow male bashers to speak disrespectfully about males in my presence without challenging them. I support the fight for our Republic that is taking place, I would willingly die for my country if called to do so in it's defense. I do not deserve to have to read the insulting and disrespectful comments made daily while trying to support the conservative position with everything in my power. If a male poster is attacked here for being a male, feel free to ping me and I will support you. I just ask that the blanket being thrown over all women be reserved for those that deserve it. I ask this respectfully as one conservative to another.

[Leatherneck_MT]

Personal attacks, condescending attitudes and the like when trying to carry on an adult conversation.

Nice Pic of Glacier Park. That's 16 miles north of me lol

Colleagues at work who interrupt you to take all phone calls when you are in their office to discuss your business. You wait for Mr. Polite to finish his call(s), so in effect you have been bumped to the back of the line. It is akin to having a store clerk interrupt service to you to take a call and deal with a customer on the phone.

The solution? Never visit Mr. Telephone Pavlovian in person. Always call him to discuss business, because you will be assured of going straight to the front of the line. Unless of course he gets a call on his second line, and places you on hold to take it.

Pet peeve:

At the quick shop store I am in line behind a little lady with a worn out car. I have a pack of gum and a newspaper. This lady orders 200 lottery tickets each with different numbers.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

People who click on vanities, then complain about the vanity.

People who complain about people who complain about vanities.

18 Wheelers who consider the highway their own, and to h*ell with all others.

Democrats

People who write checks in line at the market as if they will be graded on their penmanship.

The self appointed posting police of Free Republic.

People on Free Republic who can't debate a subject without resorting to personal attacks.

Rap noise played so loud it can be heard 1000 yards away.

The word, "dog" used to punctuate every sentence.

18 Wheelers who wait until your car is just upon them in the left lane and then suddenly change lanes.

People who won't observe the "merge now" signs in interstate construction zones. Then force their way in at the head of the line.

Waiters that tell you their name, then disappear never to be seen when you are out of tea.

LSU football fans.

The anti-wod crowd on Free Republic.

[Loud Mime]

yeah....for clarification purposes.....

I talk to myself a lot anyway! 8^)

[apackof2]

[leda]

[Leatherneck_MT]

Let me know when you do. Breakfast and coffee is on me :)

[armydoc]

> People who say "ATM Machine." "Machine" is already covered by the "M." Either say "ATM" or "AT Machine," but not (essentially) "Automatic Teller Machine Machine."

"MBNA America Bank, N.A."
Maryland Bank North America America Bank, North America


HIV virus

[apackof2]

Ok, its a deal

:>)

[A knight without armor]

People who kiss their dog on the end of the nose or open mouth and let the dog lick the inside of their mouth. I cannot believe people do this but I see it often in person and on tv.

These peeves are from the World of Work:

When I'm in the restroom and a coworker comes out of the stall and just causally walks by me and out the door to resume their day without washing their hands.

The couple coworkers who think nothing of taking the newspaper off the break-room table and into the restroom and after a long time bring it back out and cheerfully plop it back in the middle of the table and stride off.

When there are donuts, bagels, pastries, etc. at work and people (make that women) who cut them in half and leave the remainder behind. If you don't wish to eat the whole thing just take it and throw the uneaten part away because there are plenty to go around. Please, I'm begging you. Your coworkers hate this. And no, you are not helping the people starving in China.
