Pet Peeves

#1 Postby southerngale » Tue Jun 05, 2007 11:36 am

I know there have been threads about this in the past, but we have new members now, and well, pet peeves change. lol

*Cars that go the same (slow) speed on 2 lane streets or highways. Why can't they go the same speed in single file? They usually leave a string of irritated drivers wanting to get around them. People in Beaumont must think the side-by-side thing is a traffic rule, because it happens all the time.

*Drivers who can't count to 3. I frequent a 3-way stop under an underpass. I am very careful to go in turn, but there are always people going right after the people in front of them, or 2nd, when it's not their turn. It's really not that hard...

*Liars & backstabbers. I've had the misfortune of knowing people like this. I have been too trusting in the past, but not anymore. I guess people like this are miserable themselves and it makes them feel better to lie about others.

*Floridian drivers that think the red light means go and the green light means read your book, talk on the phone, and do crosswords.

*People that do not know how to spell "a lot". There is a space!

*When you have to say something a million times because the person is not focusing on what I am saying.

I hate that too. I can't stand it when people do not know how to go in turn at stop signs! Like you said, it is really not that hard..

Far from being ticketed, the homeowner should have been commended for not wasting precious water on a silly cosmetic pursuit.

Nowadays we're way too hung up on how things look. Wanna guess how much perfectly nutritious fruit are tossed by supermarkets every day just because they don't look shiny and spotless? :roll:
