Top ten things rude and disrespectful people do that make me want to bang my head against a brick wall.
1) People who don't signal when driving. There is really no excuse for blatant act of laziness. I mean, come on, flicking your signal on takes all of about .5 seconds and only requires the use of one limb! AND the car turns it off for you! No excuse! Get er done!
1a) People who don't turn their signal OFF. Its like Chinese water torture! Doesn't the clicking sound drive you crazy? Don't you notice the evil glares you are getting from other drivers (read: me)? TURN OFF YOUR SIGNAL!

2) Opened mouthed gum chewers. If I wanted to see a cow chewing on cud, I'd head down to the local farm or zoo. Its rude and disgusting - close your mouth
3) Those who use the express lane (8 items or less) at the grocery store when purchasing a cart full of food. Even if its 23 small items, you are clearly breaking the rules. Pack up your honey nut cheerios, juice boxes, Uncle Ben's rice packets and royal gala apples and move over to a non-express lane.
4) People, who are in front of me at the grocery store and see that I'm attempting to balance (in my arms) 3 bags of milk, 2 boxes of cookies, ice cream and a club size box of KD (the 4 basic food groups in my house) AND still don't move out of the way so I can place my stuff on the conveyor belt. Closely linked to this pet peeve is people who don't place the divider thingy on the conveyor belt to separate their crap from mine. Grrrrr (as you may have noticed, I'm not a huge fan of grocery store and their patrons - I food shop on Fridays, just in case you're interested and want to stay away)
5) Teenagers. Self explanatory, no need to expand
6) People who use the drive through at Tim Hortons to order the entire office's morning coffee. If you are ordering more than 2 coffees, and its 7:15 in the morning, get your butt out of your car, walk inside and bug the people in there. I gotta go, and don't have time to watch and wait for you to figure out who ordered the double-double and who ordered the 1 milk, 2 sugars. MOVE IT!
7) Mac computers. Ok, so isn't a person pet peeve but it still bugs me. We bought a mac a few weeks ago and when we first brought it home, I thought I was in love. But I was so very wrong - it turned out to be nothing more than a steamy one night stand with a person who I thought looked like Zac Efron at the bar but in the morning discovered that they were actually Chaz Bono's twin (crap, I've said too much. In my defence, the lights were low, I had had one too many and my friends had all left. Crap, too much again. I'll shut up now) The mac keyboard is tiny, the operating system is so simple its annoying and I can't play solitaire on it. I want my rock-grinder of a lap top back!
8) Children (I won't name names, but they come in sizes large, medium and small and all smell like a mixture of hot dogs, grass and hockey bags) who leave their dirty socks all over the freakin place. When I get home after a long day, I love to strip down and get comfy. But if I take any clothing off, I put it either in the hamper or folded on my side of the closet. The unnamed children however leave them......
here....
here.....
and even here......(don't worry, I'm a big fan of disinfectant sprays)
They need to start putting their socks in the hamper or they'll find them here.....
9) People who drive at or below the speed limit. Now, I know that in certain parts of the world, people respect and obey speed limit signs. But up here in the land of maple syrup and free health care, we generally take them a suggested speed. For example, if the signs says 50 km/hr, we all know that really means to do 60 km/hr (thats if you don't a ticket, 70 km/hr if you're feeling lucky). So when I get stuck behind some inexperienced, safety conscience driver who almost anyways drives in the left lane (which we all know is for those feeling lucky), I want to pull my hair out. Inevidentably this person will drive like Miss Daisy is in the backseat until a light turns yellow and then all of a sudden they morph into Mario Andretti, leaving me in their dust and at the red light. They really need to include a manners component on the drivers exam - there'd be a lot less drivers on the road if they did!
10) I saved the best for last. The rudest and most disgusting thing that people do which drives me crazy is spit! And spit on the sidewalk. And spit the biggest, nastiness hork which required a tremendous amount of noise and effort to expropriate from their nasal cavity. SO GROSS! Sorry fellas, you tend to be the biggest culprit in this crime of rudeness. Why do you do it? And did all the boys get pulled out of class during elementary school to go to a secret spitting 101 class? Cause as far as I can tell, its the guys who do this. Its very unattractive and unsanitary, so please for my sanity, hygiene and sensitive gag reflex, don't spit.
Good bye people, I have a huge case- load of missing sock reports to get through. But I'd be interested to know if I'm the only one with these pet-peeves. Do you have any others? Please post them in the comment box and we can discuss.

Hilarious and oh so true. Bout socks... My house has established a wonderful new hotspot for singles. Single lonely looking for love socks Ever hopeful they will one day find their perfect mate. So far a large and diverse club but as of yet only about a 2% hookup rate. May have to advertise.
ReplyDeleteJenn, I can relate to most of these too...lol
