Plat, Ebay has totally brought out a non existant competitive streak in me ! It is so not healthy I`ve been known to get up at 3.30 am to safeguard a high bid for something for the children! It is pathetic! I had to rely on it last year because we were moving from south America to Ausralia ( as you do! ) and it was my only way of getting pesents to Scotland for our Christmas stay! My poor inlaws were besieged with parcels from people like " Mrs Betty Scunthorpe , England then told to wrap in Christmas paper as we were arriving Christmas Eve! I was the DIL from hell!

I hate it when people are constantly on cell phones too. If it rings they feel they have to answer it regardless of whether you are having a face to face discussion or not. Then they proceed to take the call, and you are standing around waiting. Cell phone use has gotten so bad at work that we had to have a rule stating cell phones are not allowed on in the call center. Some agents were putting the customers on hold to answer their cell!
Another pet peeve is when people leave full grocery carts in the middle of an isle, and walk off to another section. You cannot get past on either side.
My number one pet peeve is people that make a mess and do not clean it up. We have a coffee area at work that is always a mess. People leave used stirrers, empty sugar substitute packets, empty coffee envelopes, etc on the counter, and they are 3 steps from a trash can. It seems no one wipes up spills there either. We have a hand towel holder on the wall by the coffee machine. I usually clean it up because I can't stand to see the mess. The best thing about this is, I don't even drink coffee! These idiots get free coffee all day long, yet they don't even care to keep the area neat.

Kelly's pet peeves: People I don't know who brush up against me. GROSS. Basically, being touched period. I just don't know where people have been! *shudder* People hovering over my computer ... in my job, defense attorneys come up to me all the time and ask if they can read the police report over my shoulder on my computer... the answer is always no...but by the time i get the word "no" out they already hovering over my shoulder breathing their smoke/coffee breath on me. GROSS. People who douche themselves in cologne/perfume. I'm sorry, but douche is the only appropriate word here. There is absolutely no need, ever to do this. A little goes a long way, people! When someone (*couCLARKgh*) steps out onto the bathmat DRIPPING wet. Yes, the bath mat is there to catch excess water, but not for you to step on soaking wet. It is not a sponge! burps. I freaking hate them. (again, clark). having to repeat myself. I hate when people ask, "huh?" "what" or "you're breaking up" and then I have to repeat myself. UGH. So annoying to me. Pharmacies. I hate them. I hate going, I hate waiting in line, I hate dealing with them. I would rather buy my drugs on the black market then go to CVS. As you can tell, I'm cranky today!

I agree with the touching.
I also hate when people i don't really like try to hug me-it gives me the creeps.
Another thing is public bathrooms. I will hold it for the longest period possible just to avoid the public bathrooms.And everytime I do go in it never fails that I see someone who does NOT wash their hands-BLAH!

I also hate when people i don't really like try to hug me-it gives me the creeps. My best friend and her sister are big huggers. They will hug anyone, and IT DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!!! She knows now NOT to try to hug me when we leave. Now, I WILL hug my kids all the time, and I had no trouble hugging Bree and her friend when I spent the day with them, but random, all the time hugging, or hugging complete strangers as a way to say "hi" is just NOT my thing. I also don't want to shake someone's hand when I meet them because I immediately have to go and wash my hands after. Damn, I really AM anal, huh?? ;D

If you're anal then so am I! I don't like shaking people's hands either because I picture them in the bathroom NOT washing their hands and it grosses me out!

God, I hate repeating myself. And I hate being interrupted too. My number one pet peeve ties in with this - if I am speaking with a patient, I hate it when someone stands there trying to get my attention when I am clearly in the middle of doing my job. Not only does it annoy me, but it really just doesn't look professional

unnecessary hugging is GROSS. I hate awkward side arm hugs too. I just don't like touching random people. It's sick! That's why I carry purell in my purse, it's on my desk and every room of my house!

For me it's the anti-bacterial wipes. Julia's teacher even asked me, "Does Julia really have to wipe off the seat (w/ an antibacterial wipe) before she goes to the bathroom?" Hell yes!! ;D She has them in her backpack! It is SO hard being a mom while being SO anal!!! Another thing I hate: Long nails on men!! Also, nails that aren't clean!
