Pet Peeves........

[Moochie]

One uppers. So dang rude and so wanting attention. I've only experienced the one uppers at my school though. Let's see, it was the first day of school some years ago and my friend was in front of me at the library. We were getting our books checked out. We were having a dandy ol' time with nostalgia, then the english teacher saw my friend's middle name on the computer and called her by it. We laughed and chatted and my friend said "hey he knows me by heart!". Another girl behind the library desk (same grade as us) handed my friend the book and she said "oh he knows me much more" in a snotty poopoo tone. We said "Okay?" and walked away.
She flaunts her brother's shenanigans at the school before he graduated like it's her trophy. "my brother did this- my brother started doing this- the reason that teacher does that is because of my brother-" shut up just shut up!

No one cares -_- Really no one does.
I suppose narcisstic (sorry for mispelling) people are one of my biggest pet peeves in general.
Seeing trash in the sink. Oh gosh, trash in the sink grinds my gears. Lol. I see plastic wrap in there and I go kookoo. Why on earth is there trash in the sink? Trash goes in the trashcan! Dishes go in the sink! Why is that so hard to comprehend??
When my dogs bug me when I'm doing something. I just wanna pick some soft grass and edible weeds for my ducks and chickens.. But noo the dogs just have to bug me. I like dogs to a point, walks and car rides definately. But following me around the yard to the point where one of them flat tires me (stepping on my heel) then just stop! I don't want jumping, constant following, following too close, and peeing when I pet you. No licking either.
When my lovely chickens poop inside the outdoor shoes. Somehow, just somehow, the hens are able to poop deep in the shoe near the toe.

I hate it when all of my little cousins are over here and are out be my coops and pens!

I can just see one of them opening a pen and letting every bird out!

I just prefer that everyone stay away for my babies!

BigDaddy'sGurl :

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.

Or the new mama's who were "in labor" for XXXXXXXXX hours . . .it might be a long time, I grant you that, but it almost always starts out as a tiny "pinch" and then graduates up to the real thing. I had five babies; four without anything, and it just floors me to hear these young mothers say they WANT a c-section, because "they don't want to have any pain." I know some of them are a necessity a lot of times, but to actually "want" one just gets me.​

Know what's worse? My grandparents are going to come here from China, and if I get chickens, I wouldn't be surprised if they went and killed every one of them while I was at school! And my mom thinks they can do no wrong and can't argue w/ them anyways...

Spit. Just makes me gag and almost lose my lunch. DON'T spit in a public area please . . .its the nastiest thing you can do.

People burp alot in public now, I notice, and never seem to think "excuse me" is necessary. . .whatever happened to plain ole' manners. People bump into you in stores and look at you like its YOUR fault, and I end up saying excuse me!!

Foul language . . .EVERYONE seems to think cursing is cool; no wonder kids talk the way they do, their parents are pro's at it.

WASH YOUR HANDS. I see people use the restroom and stroll out like they didn't "forget" a thing. YUK. 95% of all disease is spread by our hands.

Talking mean to your kids. They are KIDS, they do crazy things, but when you tell them they are stupid, $%##$%^^ a--------, and I am going to beat your ***, THAT is not the way to reason with them. I ate lunch with a friend a couple of weeks ago, and this young mother who doesn't even take care of her son, her mother does, (and she is pregnant AGAIN!!! Why God, Why?????) talked like a dog to this sweet little boy, who is good as can be when he is with is grandma. He never did anything that bad, just turned around in his booth seat and looked around, was quiet and ate his lunch, but she just could not shut up. . .LOUD and we could hear it all the way across the room. We actually thought she was going to hit him in the face at one point, and my friend who says what she means and means what she says, looked at me and said, "if she hits that child, I am getting up!" and, I said "I will be right behind you." It never came to that, but I did step up to the plate and tell her older brother what a terrible commotion she made in a public place, and that she had absolutely no right to talk to that little boy the way she did. He was so embarrassed, but said they didn't know what to do with her. She honestly is one of the rudest, foul mouthed young women I have ever met, and it just grieves me to think of her having another little baby that she won't raise either, but still do damage too. This is really one of my most upsetting pet peeves.

Braggers. Enough said. "my dog is bigger than your dog" is what we use to describe them. Remember the Purina commercial years ago? We love that, think it describes these braggers to the "t".

Bullies. Getting worse and nothing being done about it in the school systems regardless of what they say. Astounds me how kids are allowed to talk; where in the world are the parents?? Oh, that's right . . .talking the same way about people they know. So distressing.

Your story reminds me of my sons' freind that would get shot with a paintball gun by his step father when he was in trouble. The boy acted as if it were a normal everyday thing. I set him straight and told him to tell his step father if I hear of it again I will turn him in.

I agree with the above post about bullying, not to get off subject, but there is a strange and awfully mean guy at my school. He has anger management issues.. Which is more the reason that the teachers need to be wary of him. But no, he can call anyone he wants bad names and nothing happens to him. He threw a folder at a friend and I because we were yelling at a pep rally. It's a pep rally for pete's sake, not supposed to be quiet. He did have the option to go to the office or library if he wanted silence but he chose not to. Anyways I reported his actions and the vice principal did nothing. "I will talk to him" that's it? Talk to him? No warnings, "if you do it again your parents will be contacted" and all that?
I've gotten detention for calling another girl a *sumthin*, happened in middle school so I haven't done it again.. But he calls a girl a bunch of bad names out loud in math class and the teacher only says "okay that's enough"?!? That girl cried too. She also wanted something done about it aswell.
That guy is mis-using his anger management as a way of saying "i can do whatever i want to anyone because i can get away with it". Biggest pet peeve at school : Irresponsible staff members. And irresponsible students aswell.
I'm probably one of the very few who actually report his behaviour. He could very well get help and if his actions aren't reported, how will he get the help?

Nope - and someone still starts one about every 6 months it seems. People just can't be happy they are alive and healthy - they gotta find something to complain about.

Personally I'm going to start trying to focus on the positive.

Ditto..

I find this thread very entertaining and interesting. Thank you for keeping it civil and keeping it open. We all get annoyed at different behaviors at times. Better to vent about it than just brew over it.

My pet peeve is when DH says to one of the kids 'you are never going there again' or 'no, you can't do that' or some other ruling for whatever reason. Then I uphold it telling the kids 'he said no' and then he let's them

Drives me bonkers because I look like the meanie and I was only doing what he had said! (for the record this happens weekly)

I agree with whisperingWinds! Anything with spit or slobber, especially movies.....oh gag!
