What are your pet peeves? One of mine just happened. It's when you're wearing socks and the sock moves to where the heel is on top of your foot and not the bottom. That really irritates me!!!! I'll think of many more later, but I have to go get Julia.

;D ;D ;D ;D ok - socks do suck!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D my main pet peeves comes from people who think they can drive. i should teach a class. sorry if i offend anyone but here is my driver pet peeve list: 4-way stop signs. easy - the first one goes. if there is a tie the person on the right goes. grrrrrrrr divided highways - does anyone know how to work them?? if i meet someone who can work it i will give them a medal. turn signal - very easy to use. left - right soo simple. but don't wait until your in the turn lane - by then i figured it out. ahhhh - people who love to drive in your blind spot. are they begging to be hit?? or going down the freeway and not changing my speed i go to pass someone. get next to them and they decide to step on it. WTF - idiots. too busy doing your make-up or talking on the cell phone to pay attention at a stoplight. IT'S GREEN - PAY ATTENTION AND GO!!!! people who cut thru a stores parking lot in the middle without looking. uh - there are cars here. if you want to cut thru - kewl. but watch for cars who are doing it the right way!!!!!!! contraversial: i've conteplated life enough in my time and i have never been prejudice against any group in my life. even with kallie - who ever she falls in love with is wonderful as long as they love her the way she deserves to be. BUT - i was getting some milk yesterday. this cute little older lady (80 something) was getting out of her car. she was having trouble getting out so i asked if she needed help. she saw a harmless mother with an 11 yr old so she asked if i wouldn't mind. i helped her out of the car and took her arm and walked her in the store. it took a while (not like i cared about that) but she walked very slowly. SO - if she needs help getting out of her car, about ready to need a walker etc. HOW CAN SHE DRIVE??? if a ball rolls out on the road and a little kid runs after it - will her reflexes be able to stop in time?? or some idiot slams on the brakes in front of her will she be able to stop??? she could hurt someone - even herself!!!!!!!! oooh - one more. i was driving down the interstate. nice cement boarders - maybe about 4 feet high separated north and southbound drivers. speed limit 65mph. rush time - pretty packed but it was early enough that we were still moving at a good speed. i was going south. there was a cop on the other side (yes, the northbound side) looking for speeders. i was in the fast "passing" lane and we (all 500 of us) were doing about 75. everyone slammed on their freakin brakes!!!! DO THEY THINK THE COP CAN JUMP THE CEMENT BOARDER? ? same with drivers who slams on the brakes when they see a police officer. sorry to tell you but by time you see him - he knows how fast you are going. it's a good idea to slow it down - he might let you go. but slam on your brakes?? hello - i'm behind you!!!!!!! i'm not a "type a" personality but when i am driving i love some people (ok, some ignorant men) who seem shocked that a chic can drive a stick!!!! or the idiots who stole my yellow support our troops and the pink breast cancer awareness magnetic car ribbons twice. looks like they tried to take my sticker "Normal People Worry Me" off but didn't work. they did get half of my "I'm Not Stressed You're Just Freaking Me Out" i didn't sleep last night so i have a million of them (little cranky)!!!!!! these are my car issues!!!!!!!!!! i'll be back with my other ones later!!!!! ;D i love anyone who actually read this all!!!!!!!!

They're like Fort Knox! ha ha - i can never get them open!!! have you guys ever played the annoying dvd or cd game? ?? i go to watch a movie (or listen to a cd) and some other one is in the case. so you look for that movie's case and some other one is in that case. follow the trail until you find the dvd you want to watch? ? we play that game a lot and, of course, it's my own fault!!!!!!! just like without kallie i would never ever know where my keys, cell phone, and sucky glasses i need to drive. they all have a place they are supposed to go. my house is clean. yet i can never find them ;D ;D

My biggest pet peeve are people who constantly have a cell phone glued to their ear. I work in a cafe/bakery and people on their cell phones hold up the line. What gets me even more is then they shove their finger in my face meaning "just a minute" How dare they! Another one is stinky feet...there are many solutions for those with stinky feet like socks, odor eaters, foot inserts, baby powder. Ok enough ranting for me.

Wow! You guys covered sooo many of mine. But as of this morning, my pet peeve is wearing thong underwear on backwards. Don't even ask. It really ruined my morning. Thank goodness I wasn't in an accident on the way to work I'll probably come back with more butt! HAR! I'm still trying to get over this whole trauma Also, I obviously left a pair of rogue pantyhose inside the pants I was wearing and they "leaked" out of my pants leg and I didn't notice until I was in the drug store and had Sheer Energy dangling out of my pant leg.

Trixie, I didn't edit your post. I meant to quote a certain part of it! Well, I could understand it if you did, Liz. The visual of me wearing thong underwear either forward or backwards is definitately worth an edit

Trixie, let's just say you are NOT alone!! ;D ;D ;D
I have a pet peeve of people standing behind me when I'm at the computer. I don't mind if they sit beside me, but don't stand behind me. I hate it.

1. Leaving lights on when you aren't in the room (Andrew) 2. Leaving closet doors open when not using it (Andrew) 3. Not putting dishes in the dishwasher when it is totally empty, but leaving them on the counter and/or sink (Andrew) 4. Not rinsing out a milk glass after it's empty (Andrew) Yeah, Andrew gets on my nerves!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Luckily he's so nice, otherwise !! ;D

Oops no 2 is me I`m afraid Liz! Douglas `n carl are forever closing them after me so little Jodie isn`t knocked out by a low flying cupboard door! My pet peeve is getting oubid on Ebay . I know it`s childish but I take it very personally , especially in the last few minutes . I once left Douglas looking after my target . He forgot .....and I lost it by 1 cent! Arghh! Then i hate the way they display it on your account in all it`s ignominious failure " YOU did not win this ! You did not win this! " ( oh , is it just me that feels like this?)
