Can we discuss pet peeves here? (7 Viewers)

One of my biggest pet peeves is when males act like drama queens. 
lol at drama queen.   Girl made a mistake that cost her life but I'll let you "real males" point out all the ways she ####ed up 

Eta: And I agree in 100% personal responsibilty

I am actually blaming the mom and the mom is the one complaining about the colors which might not even be the real story.

I dont have high expectations for 15 year olds. 

 
Because that isn't on their cell phone screen.
Even if they notice they still dont care sometimes and that cell phone is still more important. Girl in panera parking lot this morning driving while texting. She is using only one hand to turn the wheel. She comes into my lane. I have to stop and wait. Sure enough she doesnt put the phone down and she continues to drive with only one hand and continues to text or whatever else she is doing. She has to back up because now she is basically nose to nose with me. That phone never left her hand. 

I mean I am sure what time you guys were meeting later to instafacegramsnap together was super important and all, but come on already. 

 
The complete lack of personal responsibility in this world is absurd. 

15 year old girl dies from eating a cookie. Tragic accident. Mother blames chips ahoy!.  

Claims that the daughter just saw red packaging and assumed it was ok. "NO screaming warnings". Nevermind that it says reese's right on the front and side. Every store now has their own generic brand of stuff. What if they were aldi cookies? Kroger cookies? 

What if they were nutter butters? That's a red package. 

Nevermind the questions of why didnt the daughter have an epipen with her. Why did she go home first after feeling a tingling in her throat instead of telling the parents at the house she was at?  


She's 15 and can't check for the ingredients on a clearly labeled package?  I don't get it.
Or we could stop giving 20% of our population food allergies by injecting infants with vaccines at birth ...

instead of waiting until they're immune system can develop at 6 months old.

I have been reading this a lot lately.  Is there an actual studying showing this causation, or is this along the same lines as vaccines causing Asbergers?

probably along the same lines .... 

I can't imagine the medical community (or anyone else) is willing to prove it ... or admit to it as the law suits would be redonculous.

Insurance companies will make sure of it. 

What I've seen quoted by doctors is something to the effect of ... "I won't say infant vaccinations cause food allergies ... but I wouldn't say they don't".

The medical community isnt one single entity. If that were true then there wouldnt be competing drugs. There wouldnt be generics. 

This is conspiracy theory stuff based off of people like jenny mccarthy.

This really deserves it's own thread.

If Chips Ahoy put peanutbutter cup cookies in a green package instead of red, this girl would be alive today!

... and the brown package for Chips ahoy chunky with pb cups could be made purple to differentiate from the non pb cup version which is also brown.  

(unless she was also color-blind. Then she would still be dead).

Stations that turn a two hour movie into a three hour one by putting an insane amount of commercials in the broadcast.

 
People who carry around a gallon jug of water at the gym...restaurant menu items that don't include scallions in the description when they are part of it...

 
Plenty of stop signs or stop lights around here where two cars can easily fit side by side even though there are no markings clearly showing if it is two or one. The only time two cars cant fit is when some jackhole just goes right smack in the middle. So now no cars can turn right while said jackhole is waiting to turn left or go straight. 

The city is dumb for not making it two clearly marked lanes and the driver is dumb for having to inexplicably be  8 feet from the center line. 
The other day I was third in line at a sign like this and the first person, waiting to turn left, did the right thing and hugged the center line.  Second car, with right turn blinker on, sits dead in the middle and waits.  I honked and he just gave me the "what gives" shrug.  :hot:

Since no one gives an infant a vaccine at birth, enjoy your paper tiger.

The first part is nonsense.  The second part means you don't know how science works.  There being no evidence that a vaccine ever caused an allergy, you'd think the doctor could say they don't cause them.  But since you can't prove a negative, he can't say that.

In the doctor's office. Parent letting their kid listen to horribly annoying childrens song at top volume on their phone. Again. And again. And again. And again.

His other kid had to finally tell the first to stop because it was annoying everyone in the room.

Good job dad.

This sort of thing happens all the time.  And don't get me started on the guy (or gal) that watches videos or whatever on their phones at restaurants.  I need to start bringing my earbuds with me at lunch.  Not for watching videos, but to drown these idiots out.  Unreal.

Parents letting kids do what they want is infuriating. I just love it when they let their brats push the cart around the grocery store. Blocking aisles, running into people, etc, etc. Leave your spawn at home, they're not cute. 

 
Public park bench or outdoor seating and dining venue and being next to chain smokers.

Gorgeous day, enjoying a break from work and Mary smoker comes out to flash smoke 3 butts and yap on the phone about her boil.

 
Green does not mean go anymore! You gotta wait until all cars have come to a complete stop before proceeding through a stop light. Last night, I was waiting when the light turned green but  to my right I see this big ol' Dodge truck rolling down the road, dude on his phone for what had to be 5 seconds after his light turned red. I start driving into the intersection as he's rolling through and looks at me like I'm the one with the problem :lmao:

Be safe out there!! :drive:

 
An accident on the other side of a highway causing traffic on your side, perfect example of why we'll be replaced by robots one day. 

Who gives a ####? No need to stare, keep it ####### moving and be happy it wasn't on your side, idiots!

 
getting "easy" instructions from IT

then you follow the "easy" 48 step procedures only to have them not work. so you try again, slowly, and it doesn't work. so you try again with a co-worker, slowly, and it doesn't work.

you re-boot and try again, slowly, with a co-worker and your manager. it doesn't work.

so you re-boot, try again, slowly and this time with everyone on the team watching. but it doesn't work.

so you call IT, they chuckle and say "it's so easy... you just.... (changes 43 of the steps because they were wrong) and in you go". 

so you try that, with them on the phone & it fails. to which they say "huh, it's really easy. let me remote in and do it." 

then 3 days later, after they have rebuilt your PC from scratch, you get a call from the guy saying "i just emailed you new 53 step instructions... it's so easy.."

:hot:  

 
teaching kids English. what a stupid ####### language. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_true_homonyms

not to mention spelling variations of words that sound the same but have totally different meanings (your, you're, yore). how people ever learn this language is a mystery.
Wife makes fun of me because I'm horrible with spelling.

I'm constantly complaining about this stupid language that we call English. Must be so frustrating for people from other countries trying to learn this.

I'm so frustrated with this language there is a TEAR in my eye ... and it makes me so mad I could TEAR a phone book in half.  :confused:

 
I hate when you do something nice for somebody once and now it is the expectation. 
Or you do something nice/help but it's not enough.

"I talked to Joe he's expecting you"

"Hi Joe, belljr sent me over for tires"

Joe: "great, your bill will be x and I'll take of 30%". 

JOE  took off only 30%!$!$!3!2!2!2!2!$

Sorry I tried to save you a couple hundred bucks

 
Why does it cost me $234 for ink toner cartridges for my copy machine ...

Ink Toner

When I can buy the whole machine, with cartridges, for $239

Brother 3 in 1 Printer

eta: less -$25 with online coupon.

... so it's costing me more money to replace the cartridges but I can't see throwing away a machine that's working.

Maybe throw away the new one?

This confused me so much at first. I actually have a tear in my right eye from getting hit during a basketball game. 

 
People that jump into the elevator before anyone can even step out.
This just happened to me on vacation so many times. One time a bunch of people just plowed right in. I said this one is going down. So they all got out. Then I said oh, wait is this the lobby? Sorry. So the dejected and annoyed people all piled back in. I managed to push at least 6 different floors buttons before quickly exiting. 

Ok Fine. I made that up, but it is officially my new plan next time this happens.

are you saying that one syllable, four-letter words frustrate you?

 
50 pages in...I'm assuming someone has mentioned parking on the lines instead of between them? Makes me want to slash someone's tires...

Oh come on you just hate America.

The rules make perfect sense... Until they completely don't.

How do you pronounce the following word: ghoti

ETA... It's alternate spelling- ghoc- also counts

Missed this the first time around. I have a 16 year old son with peanut allergies so I'm grateful to read articles like this.  I view this as making people with allergies aware and not a grieving mother blaming Chips Ahoy and looking for a money grab.  Until you see a lawsuit actually filed not sure why this bothers you so much.

and how about the folks that b-line for the parking lot exit, driving diagonal across the parking lot, over rows of parking lines ... and give you the angry look for being in their way when your driving between parking isles where your supposed to.
