Do You have Pet Peeves?

thank you so much bayoulady and Happy New Year. I really enjoyed reading you comments and must say I agree whole heartedly. If people could just see themselves as others see them-- and the waitresses, that just happened to us at Fatz...

What a fun topic! The first peeve (oh....I have MANY......) that popped into my head was those hack-snotters in restaurants that blow their noses at the tables,cough and hack,thus making my tummy feel a bit queasy. May I have one more turn? Waitresses that are too busy flirting with a co-worker to even make a pass-by to see if I need refill,until I have finished my meal. Then they dart to my table, and ever so sweetly want to fill my tea glass. Makes me want to forgo theit tip.......and mind you, I DO sometimes make mean eyes at 'em!

thanks brl for adding your fine comment and I agree, some things are pathetic and eating with your mouth open is one of them. It must be from lack of instruction at home or failure to parent properly. I remember distinctly hearing both parents instruct me "no one wants to see that" also "it's bad manners". Evidently back then it was mandatory to learn to eat properly as a reflection on your parents...

thanks ethel for you fine comments. I know what you mean, I use to work the window at the USPS and the number 1 complaint I heard from our customers was the apathetic attitude of some of the window clerks. Please accept my apologies...

Mine is disrespectful people, such as the post office clerk who carries on a chat as if you are invisible. It only makes me fume if I let it though. Rudeness is sadly a huge part of the age

Thanks so much Terri for your visit and for sharing. How about people that walk with their dogs and let the dog do 'their business' in your front yard...

My current one is people with dogs who seem to have no idea that some children are nervous of them. And people who think 'no dogs' signs don't apply to them in the local park. Just realized my pet peeve actually involved pets!

thanks Big_Joe for stopping by and making comment. People are truly funny...

thanks mulberry for your interesting comments. I received an email once where an officer observed something like you mentioned happened to you and he pulled the car over and ask to see registration and ownership papers. He had likewise noticed a bumper sticker or 'fish' emblem and just knew the original owner would not act like that... Ha, I thought you were going to say you saw an Obama sticker; some of them thinks that gives them the right, you know...

oh my yes. Just read any story on the internet and then read the comments. Steaming, firey, hang 'em high comments. Forget the trial, forget that accidents happen...someone is to blame and needs to pay for this.

One of my personal favorite experiences was driving down a busy highway and being passed by a big luxury car with a middle aged man in it. He blew his horn, pulled back in directly in front of me, and flashed me the bird. Mad as heck. He must have thought I was driving too slow or perhaps I cut him off unknowingly at an earlier point in time. I was oblivious to any such crime.

Then as he sped off I noticed his bumper sticker. "WWJD?" I don't know, but I doubt he would have done that!
