Pet Peeves........

[MaryMouse]

Competitive people. I am not talking about good competitors. I am talking about people that like when your on cloud nine cause you or somebody you care about has won something or did something or achieved something, and your elated about it , and you mention it.
They come back with like thier person, ran faster climbed higher, did bigger, better, or badder than anything you or yours would ever achieve. Come on, cant you say, " hey thats great, glad to hear it." I mean I am happy for others triumphs, and achievements.

And I am not talking about braggy braggertons. Im saying like "little Billy finally made the team" kinda stuff. You just dont need to come back with " yeah, well our son is on allstars, and our daughter is miss america.

X2! I was telling some one that my stepson qualified for the GATE program. She was like "my daughter and son has been in it for 2 years and they want to bump my son up a grade. I hope your son can handle the GATE Program". Ummm HELLLOOO MRS. GRINCH! ( I was thinking more along the lines of "I hope you can handle me when I go redneck lady)Considering where this child was school wise a year and a half ago, I am about to pop with pride! I very politely congratulated her and said "well apparently their momma didn't contribute to the brains, must all be from the fathers side" and walked away

ray's two cents :

I guess I don't like babies, of the human or animal kind

I much prefer them when they've grown a bit older, especially as kids stop crying and start talking

(Don't yell at me please, I'm a little tired of being told I have no feelings because I don't cry and squeal at everything "cute" or "sad". That is another of my pet peeves.)

I can't stand babies (human) or little kids.. I also don't keep that fact a secret.. so WHY do they have to shove their little darling into my face and gush over how cute it is? (and expect em to do the same)...
they smell.. gooey things splurt from their mouths and rears... and did I mention that they smell?... ick... not to mention the pitch of their voices, whines and cries hits one nerve that makes me want to throttle the life out of them...

so yeah.. don't like children or the parents who insist on shoving them on me...

critters are another matter though.. I can take any of them in a heart beat!

btw.. i enrolled into the "spay and neuter program" years ago.. wanted to make sure I didn't accidentally end up preggers
after all.. if ya don't want one.. don't have it!​

Leggin MF12, glad you understand, I just think come on be happy for someone else really. I can remember all those years ago when my husband took his first EMT class, I was just so dang proud. Well I told her about it and she said......[drum roll]... "Well he wont pass it, so dont get too excited." I was dumbfounded. I asked why wont he pass? The answer.... "Well my son just took it and he failed, If he cant pass it , you husband doesnt even have a shot at it." Just for the record my husband did pass, With a high 90 something, best grade in his class. He has been active in Emergency services ever since. His current job is in Emergency services. Point being we can not let others define the hieghts we can reach.

People leaving the cupboard doors open.

There is no quicker way to make me twitchy than leaving the pantry door open. The entire reason for doors is to CLOSE them!

People who don't like birds

People who wrongly say things about a subject they don't know anything about

I can't stand it when someone has always been sicker than me. I mean, I don't WANT to be sick, but if I am and you ask how I'm doing, don't come back with how it's nothing compared to the time you had blah blah blah.... if I feel bad, I feel bad. I don't want to be made to feel like a wienie.

Also on the same lines, I hate those women who had the WORST CHILDBIRTH IMAGINEABLE. You know, the WORST CHILDBIRTH IMAGINEABLE. Like they can compare their pain giving birth to yours...I mean, last I checked, you can't feel things that I am going through physically... I know one lady who is convinced that she had a one in a thousand childbirth pain experience. Claims the doctor even told her: "you had a one in a thousand childbirth pain experience"

So if I didn't scream, squeal, soil myself, foam at the mouth, lose consciousness, I must not have been in the same amount of pain? Get real. CHILDBIRTH IS CHILDBIRTH. IT HURTS. AND I DO NOT BELIEVE IT HURT ANYONE ELSE AS MUCH OR LESS THAN ME. IT JUST HURTS.

Actually, the sidewalk is for walking.
One of mine is when a cyclist (bicycle) is riding on the sidewalk when they should be going with the flow of traffic on the road, and I have to walk in the grass as to not get run over!


Here is it s $367 ticket for riding your bike to school against traffic....even if you are just going to the next cross walk to cross the street safely

Guess slowing down a bit is not so bad.

What about those women, that have babies from start to finish in 4 hours, no pain meds.. Cause it's was to quick .. (I asked in first labour for it, but pain meds came too late, second child didn't ask, cause I new it would be fast) Although I never tell women this, unless the are scared of there first birth experines, and I try to point out the good things..​

Teenagers who speak to me like I'm one of their teenage friends.

I'm clearly an adult (nearly 40 and look it), I'm not sure why parents aren't teaching their children to respect their elders but its getting quite ridiculous. I don't want to (over)hear about you and your "homies" or how much you drank last night, kiddos. Use your best language, avoid the texting jargon and for God's sake - stand up straight, look me in the eye and try to present yourself with just a little big of dignity. Perhaps you haven't done anything in your lives to earn respect, but I certainly have. And that big guy glaring at you over my shoulder? 19 years and counting in the US Navy. So stop rolling your eyes at him from under all that hair, before he makes you do pushups.

Staring at your cell phone and texting the entire time you're speaking to me is NOT appropriate when you are around adults, especially in a business setting like when someone is paying you good money to serve THEIR customers. If your parents put up with it, they've done you a huge disservice. And just because they put up with it, doesn't mean I have to.

The grump is strong with me today.
