Can we discuss pet peeves here? (6 Viewers)

Ordered mozzarella sticks and they forget the sauce.

Ordered a Chicken Casear wrap and asked for dressing on side, came with no dressing and none on the side. 

This kind of stuff really grinds my gears.

 
A couple days a week I work in a fairly remote location, where the only place to get any food is a McDonald's about 15 miles away.  It doesn't matter what I order, they will always ask me to pull forward past the window while they finish making X and they'll bring it out to me. There could be 15 cars in line, or 2, doesn't matter.   Yesterday i ordered a QP w Cheese meal, get to the windown, they handed me the bag of food, and asked me to pull forward and wait for my drink, even though the window attendant is standing RIGHT NEXT TO THE FREAKING FOUNTAIN MACHINE AND THE CUPS. 

So I pull forward, they finally bring the drink out, I drive away and then realize I have no straw :doh:

 
people who start sentences with the word 'So.....'

like hey Jill how are you today?"

So......, I was down at the Quick Check in Wanaque, and I saw Bobby..'

or , probably the most annoying thing, the people who ALWAYS use the word 'right', as in:

we dont want to throw the ball on first down we want to wind down the clock..right..

 it's replaced 'correct' as the most annoying thing people say..

have you tried the salsa it's great.

correct.

just stop with right,correct, and So....

ah yes, Mouth breathers that chew with their mouth open.

My wifes cousin (female) eating chips the other night, mouth open, "CARUNCH, crunch, crunchy, smacky, smooshy, gulp. .... CARUNCH, crunch, crunchy, smacky, smooshy, gulp"

Real classy broad that one is.

 
Whistling in a quiet situation.

Why do people (men) find the need to whistle? Shopping, in the office, public restroom, in line at the bank, etc.

Are you that starved for attention that you need people to notice you?

Do you really think people around you appreciate your "superior whistling skilz"? ... of the random tune that we've never heard before ... since you are just making it up as you go.

... or does silence scare you because you're so old that you need to prove to yourself that you're still alive?

I agree... that goes for snapping fingers too.

However, I don't think it's as intentional as you make it out to be.  Probably just a bad and/or nervous habit.  Annoying none the less...

 
parking lot at the office has a couple hundred spots. 5 floors. there are 7 (i think) different businesses here. total number of employees in all businesses somewhere near equal the number of parking spots. not over. plus there are 2 dozen visitors spots up front of the building.

there are enough spots for everyone at any rate.

why do people insist on parking in the exact same spot every day? don't get hurt because you had to park one spot over today. life is really going to be OK. the spots don't have reservations, there aren't names painted on the ground, or signs in the spots indicating who parks where. just park your ####### car and walk the extra 5 feet.

or, park in the furthest spot from the door... you could use the extra steps.

Is there I way to make the whistling stop? I've given this a lot of thought ... how can I make this person aware that his whistling is annoying the #### out of me? (and others?)

Any straight up confronting of the person makes me come off like an ###hole ... so I'm thinking go full 180 degrees on his ### ...

I challenge him to a whistle off. I come in with my own tune, loud and proud, and trump his random bs tune. Get right in his face and stare him in the eye.

What's his reaction? He going to back the f off ... or try and out-whistle me? Somethings got to give!

 
If you're driving in the left lane of a highway, and there isn't a car within a quarter of a mile in front of you, and at least 5-6 cars directly behind you, I hope you lose your license permanently.

I've been getting a lot of this lately.  we have 3 or 4 lanes. gtf over if you want to drive 65 in a 65..... now everyone has to wait for an opportunity to pass on the right, which is tough as that right lane is driving at least 65-70.

 
Horn going off when you lock your car.  Are you so deaf or stupid that you can't hear the doors lock or see the lights blink?  No, you have to have your stupid horn honk and scare the #### out of me when I'm walking by.  And then there is the moron who has to do it twice just to make sure.  I hope your car blows up when you caught in it.

 
If I am turning right out of a parking lot and somebody is turning left into the parking lot there is zero reason I should have to wait for that person. Except of course when they are dumb and take the turn at some stupid angle and are literally driving into the wrong lane on the street to take it as narrow as possible.

You just made the list.

 
Automated & computerized responses when calling a business. 

I know how to use a website, as I think the overwhelming majority of human beings do too. If I’m calling your business there is a reason for it, get me a ####### human being on the phone!

PEOPLE WHO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT AN EMAIL WITHOUT READING THE FREAKING EMAIL....

It happens all the time.   Hey I saw you sent an email.   What was the outcome? 

Me: You have a question about it?

them:  No i haven't read it yet but I was curious.

NOTHING SETS ME OFF MORE THAN THAT!@#!@#!@#!@#!@$#@!#

My mother just did it to me.

Did you send me an email for X.

Yes we might try it for this Christmas. I haven't finished setting it up yet.

She then texts me 10 questions.  Where I am completely confused about.  Like what about this,  can we do this what about this.

Mom what are you talking about - we don't need to do any of that.

Her:  Oh well I haven't read the email yet that's why I have all the questions....

:wall:

 
The holidays with family bring annoyances every year.

In laws(wife's sister) decided to dog sit a rottweiler one week before hosting xmas. Real brilliant. Some toddlers will be visiting, I have a great idea honey! Lets host a dangerous dog rescue that has only been with its owner for a month. I mean dogs love changes to their environment like that. We will have a whole week to get it acclimated to toddlers around, oh wait we dont have any toddlers. Well we will take our chances that everything is a-ok. We will just set up a gate and only let him run around the back half of the house. Wait, what? We don't have a gate? Oh I am sure he will be just fine. We wont tell anybody we will be having this dog either so they can all be surprised when they show up and a rottweiler is jumping up at them. 

Gluten free nonsense. My nephew does not have celiac. I am not even sure how they arrived at making him gluten free. I got the explanation once, but it was so detailed and down rabbit holes that I cant remember it. From what I understand he still has stomach issues very occasionally. Now from a logical perspective I would say his stomach problems stem from him being the pickiest eater on the planet and pretty much just eating crap all of the time. Gluten free crap, but still crap. His daily routine is a rice krispie treat for breakfast with some rice pudding and a huge glass of whole milk(which they have started putting vanilla extract in for some odd reason and he has to drink it from a straw for some reason too). For lunch he eats processed lunch meat and another glass of whole milk. For dinner he eats gluten free pizza, whole milk, and beef jerky. Yes. They put beef jerky on his dinner plate. For snacks there are lots of candy. So his diet is tons of dairy, no vegetables, and candy. 

Anyway my wife bought a bag of gummi bears that we have seen him eat tons of bags of. So she puts them in a bowl and puts them out. When my sister arrives she asks what brand are they. My wife goes and gets the bag and my sister states he cant eat them anymore since they learned that sometimes their (haribo) glucose syrup is made from wheat. Glucose syrup is considered gluten free. But since it is made from wheat there is a non zero chance that somehow somebody could have accidentally spilled wheat into a finished batch and not said anything and then those trace proteins could find their way into a gummi bear at %'s that are still below gluten free thresholds, my sister decided to write them off for my nephew that has eaten tens of thousands of these little bears and is somehow still alive because sally from the internet said she gets sick from haribo gummi bears.

Now if he just didnt eat gummi bears anymore I would say no harm no foul and who cares since gummi bears are bad for you anyway. Oh no. He still pile drives them. He just eats a more expensive sorghum based syrup brand now. 

Why does it annoy me when it really barely(no pun intended) affects me? Because one of the most common dinners they eat is freaking pizza from papa murphy's. They get a gluten free one for him and then a regular one for them. So they arent concerned about the employee in the back of papa murphy's cross contaminating flour when rolling out crusts, but they are concerned that a gummi bear might have some contamination???? WTF. 

 
people who pick up their dogs when people or other dogs approach

you may notice that dogs sniff each other. sometimes *gasp* each other's butts. they just want to check each other out on their own terms. so when you nervously snatch your 3 lb. terrier off the ground, clutch it to your chest and start backing up.. you're telling both dogs "something is wrong" and they both get anxious.

except, your precious little fluff is now trying to protect you so it starts snarling, barking and lunging which makes you more panicky.. which makes both dogs more unsettled and that just ruins any chance your dog ever had of being normal.

might as well walk the damned thing in a stroller or carry it in a Baby Bjorn.

We have a yellow lab that lays in our front yard whenever we are outside hanging out. She's pretty docile - she might pick up her head and look at someone walking down the sidewalk. If it's someone she recognizes, or it's someone walking a dog where their noses and butts have already been introduced, she'll get up, wag her tail, and walk over to say hi. Basically our dog is the neighborhood dog, but she always stays in our yard. 

There is this one lady who just refuses to walk past with her dog. She will pick up her dog three or four houses down, cross the street and walk in the street, then move back over to the sidewalk after she passes our house.

And she even does this when my dog is not out. Just really bizarre.

Been seeing this a lot lately, especially with all the little designer breeds.

 
I didn't go over all 40 previous pages to see if this was mentioned, but my biggest (not including my mother in law) is people just standing on those moving sidewalks/walkways/autowalks.

C'mon, people, how lazy can you get?

I understand people not walking up or down escalators, but is putting one foot in front of another really that hard? Because what is impossibly hard, apparently for anyone, is moving the f over and letting people walk by you instead of clogging up the moving sidewalk with your sloth.

lol.

I get the strollers- maybe fido is old, or wants to avoid salt on the ground in snowy/cold weather, or just doesn't play well with others. but a ####### bjorn? those dogs look absolutely miserable having to be carried around vertically like that with spines not parallel to the ground... can't be good for them. plus they all look completely embarrassed.

Now, don't get me wrong because yellow labs are about as chill and predictable as they come, but you can't really blame her.  Assuming your dog is not in a fence, someone with a small dog is just being cautious walking past an unrestrained dog.

While I'm at it (and likely ignoring something that's brought up already) -- dogs on planes.

I am a huge dog person. Love 'em, and though I'm partial to actual dogs, I'm not opposed to those kind of yappy faux-dogs (you know, the lap dogs, the teacup breeds, etc. -- might as well get a cat at that point, but to each his own).

I'm also a big proponent of service dogs - not just for actual utility to help the blind, people with seizure issues, etc. but even for anxiety and stress.

That said, we've gone WAY overboard with dogs on planes. I saw a 80lb+ rottie on the plane the other day, which couldn't have been comfortable for either the dog or anyone else in that row. And there is no way -- as nice as rotties can be -- that the dog was an actual service dog. 

Since when did it become a god-given right to travel with your pets, especially at the inconvenience of other passengers? Leave the pups at home, people.

I've said it before, but I'd pay extra to sit next to a dog.  They just need to make it so you have to buy the seat for the dog.  A dog won't be too fat to fit in it's seat, making me uncomfortable, won't recline the seat, won't try to start a conversation with me, won't have to make me get up so he can take a piss, etc. etc.  

That said, people should have the sense to know if their dog will be able to last whatever flight they're on without peeing/pooping.  And if the dog is 80+ pounds, they should definitely have to buy one of the seats for it.
