My Pet Peeves

Wikipedia says: A pet peeve (or pet hate) is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to him or her, to a greater degree than others may find it. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet_peeve]
  • Graffiti!
  • Motorists using a cell phone while driving.
  • Tailgating.
  • Drivers failing to yield the right-of-way.
  • Aggressive drivers.
  • Drivers who try to run down pedestrians in crosswalks.
  • Drivers who make a right on red cutting me off when I have the green to make the left.
  • Pedestrians walking behind moving cars (e.g., when the driver is backing out of a parking spot).
  • Drivers switching lanes in the middle of a turn.
  • People in Self Check Out lines who don't wait for someone to finish bagging before they send their items down the conveyor.
  • People who cut in front of me instead of properly queuing behind me (walking or driving).
  • When trying to go through a door, the person in front of me just lets it slam in my face.
  • People who don't respond when someone says "hi."
  • People who put their shoes on the MARC seats.
  • People who put their knee against the chair (in movie theaters, on train) in front of them like they are at home.
  • Sneezing and/or coughing without covering his/her mouth.
  • People who wear too much perfume or cologne. If I can smell it five minutes after you go by, you need to leave some in the bottle!
  • People who throw trash, cigarettes etc. out of their car window while driving.
  • People who don't look at you when they are talking, or when you are talking to them.
  • Speed bumps. They don’t really slow the problem people down and they damage your car.
  • People who put their kids who paid half price in the viewing way of the adults who paid full price.
  • People who park in front of the ATM no parking zone when the parking lot only has two cars in it.
  • Contractors who won’t come to my home unless my “husband” is there. [He’s dead, it’ll be a long wait.]
