Reonauts, What are some of your pet peeves?

[ltrainer]

Keep it nonpolitical please.

People that block grocery aisles with their carts is one that's high on my list.
Automated customer service phones that don't give you the actual option for your problem but tell you that your call is very important to them.
Cable service in my area where if you want broadband there is only once choice..a monopoly.\\I'm interested in hearing some of yours.
Thanks

Handicap parking abusers

Cheap one ply toilet paper or no toilet paper in a public restroom.

Kids who cut the corner of our home using our lawn. (Im old "now get off my lawn")

HA! I'll bite....

My #1 Biggest Pet Peave: People who enter a freeway on ramp and then get scared and slow down...or worse....stop.

People who screw up then get mad at me for it

People who use the last of the toilet paper on the roll and don't replace it with a new one....or worse, just set the new roll on the sill.

And I think I'll just leave it at that.

My biggest pet peeve is people that don't know how 2 way and 4 way stops work. I've almost been hit a few times by idiots that blow the stop sign.

I also get really annoyed by people that stand by a crosswalk, but aren't actually crossing. There's a restaurant right by a crosswalk and it's hard to tell if they are out there smoking or waiting to cross. I've stopped so many times and they wave me on. I wish they would walk a couple feet down the sidewalk.

And +1 on people blocking the aisle in grocery stores. Drives me crazy.

People who think they are entitled to vape anywhere, anytime because it's not smoking.

one-uppers.

That's the worst for me. I drive a truck for a living. Poor driving skills of other people cost me time and money. Neither of which do i like losing!

+2 on Grocery Rage... "Where's the horn on this #@$^* cart???"

The guy on the freeway who figures he can go .024 mph faster than the guy in front of him, and cuts right in front of me in the left lane, and takes 5 miles to pass that other car.

Worse- that same guy does the exact same thing just as the road starts rising into the hills or mountains and then takes 30 miles to pass.

The guy at Starbucks who asks after i order coffee if i want Blond Betty or Sumatra Peach or some other dang thing I can't even pronounce. "No, dude, I just want coffee. Black. Thanks"

Hmmm... Maybe i better switch to decaf today and stay far away from anything with a wheel...

People who repeatedly cut you off when you're talking.

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

People who repeatedly cut you off when you're....

aw shoot... that's me. I'll have to pay closer attention to that.

 

[nerak]

People who are always late.

Doctors who make you wait for an hour after your appointment time to see you.

Drivers who park so the parking space next to them is useless.

Telephone calls from creditors that are looking for the last person that had YOUR number.

Gah! I hate this!

Yup. I've got an ongoing deal with this now. I am thinking I might make my voice mail say, "If you are Charter Communications, this number no longer belongs to the deadbeat you're looking for. Now hang up and don't freakin' call back!"

 

[CATastrophe]

I also have a bone to pick with the folks who flunked Merging 101.

 

[ltrainer]

People that talk on their phones when you're in a line as if you are interested in what they have to say.

 

[debzcf]

Drivers who hang out in the left-hand lane on the Parkway;
People who don't keep their word;
People who order two slices of _______ at the deli counter (after examining the thickness);
Parents who let their little monsters run unsupervised at __________________;
Dog walkers who don't pick up after their fur balls.

 

[KwhyLE]

people who say "like" every other word.

Huge thumbs-up on that one.

 

[debzcf]

I hear ya.

 

[unloaded]

People who don't shut up when they're done talking!

Semi trucks in both lanes.

36 checkout lanes, 6 cashiers and 4 of them are express lanes!
(I vape like a locomotive in this situation hoping a manager will appear.)

 

[Statistic]

I work as a "field systems support analyst"... tech support for the 4000+ stores under our brand in North America.

When the customer support team gets overloaded with too many calls they start to roll over to us tech support guys and gals.

Why on earth people see a total on the checkout page, then click "place order now", THEN call to dispute their order total is beyond me. We cancel their orders so they can place them again the right way. Every time this happens I think to myself "you clicked the button, you agreed to pay the presented order total. What is wrong with your brain?"
