I was just wondering really. I have a few so i split them into catagories

Work
-----

I work at my local YMCA and i tell people when to go down the slide. Its not that hard at all but it does get annying especially with the little kids every where. At work my biggest pet peeve is that the kids pay attention to everything you say while they are waiting in line to use the slide but as soon as they get up top the turn deaf. Then i have to scream my head off and look like a fool trying to get this kid to go down the slide, eventually they hear me but uggh. I have alot more in the work section but they are all similar and deal with little kids not listening.

Driving
-------
Im 16 and dont even have my license yet (learners permit) but there is somthing that many expierienced dricers do (or dont do rather) that pisses me off and that is, they dont use turn signals. For one the fact that the person turn is so lazy and inconsiterate to warn people that they are turning irks me. Its not even that hard to do. Plus as I am new to driving this could also be dagerous and i dont want to crash do to someones laziness.

Plime
------

Posting something that is a dupe because the origonal had really bad search tags.

Gereral
--------

Not getting credit for things i do. This bugs me alot. Especially with my parents. I do things around the house for the sole pupose of getting their respect, but if we get into an arguement they now know that if they say, "you never do (whatever) around the house!" they made a mistake because I will freak out. I hate it when i also dont get noticed for when I go out of my way to do things at work or school. ( i know im sapoosed to go out of my way out of the kindness of my heart and people dont have to recognize you but im only human)

anyways i think thats alot to read and so if yor bored go ahead in read if not just skip ahead and post your own
have fun ranting =)

We have done this...but, let's do it again. The beggars at the supermarket selling root beer floats for the soccer team. People that don't do 100mph in the fast lane. Cell phone drivers. Rubber pants. Teenage girls that taunt you with their...I have to go to bed. Godnight!

People having their music on in their car way too loud that it makes rattling sound. I saw a girl did that this morning, thinking she's cool in her WRX.

I know this is going to come off like I'm jsut cracking jokes, but I seriously despise the term "pet peeve". It grates under my skin and tingles my balls like someone scratched their nails down a chalk board while forcing me to chew on tin-foil. There are so many adjectives that can be used to describe how annoying and undesirable things are that there was never a need to make up a word like 'peeve'. And how the hell did 'pet' get linked to the phrase? What does a damn pet have to do with it?

Damn it I hate that phrase, right along with people who use it and cell-phone users. That's right, I said HATE, and I am well aware of how big a word that is. Is it possible I hate you? I think that depends on your usage of the words 'pet peeve' and ownership of a cell phone.

Of course, I still love y'all, but it's mixed in with a turmoil of hatred as well if you meet the above listed criterea.

Then you qualify.

In regards to your mentioning of people blasting music from their speakers, I am 100% with you. I have a fond memory of how my father handled this one day.

We were washing the car in the front yard when some kids rolled down the street blasting the sh!t out of their music. It was summer and their windows were down, so my dad hosed the little b*****ds. It was hilarious. They stopped the car like they were going to come back and say something, but my dad is a big burly broadshouldered man and they thought better of it.

Haha. I hope it ruined their stereo as well.

I get pissed off with people in the service industries who say "not a problem" when they should say "you're welcome" or just smile and S.T.F.Up. I'm so relieved serving my f*%$@ bacon and eggs isn't creating a problem for you!

Cell phone drivers!

People who let their dogs crap all over the place and don't pick it up.

People who can't count change. i.e. When you hand them an extra quarter to round the change up to $10 and they almost burst a blood vessel trying to figure it out.

Orthography, punctuation (no caps are OK in some www contexts).

Graphics/layout: People who want to fit an image into an artwork by stretching/squeezing it rather than by cropping it, without even getting the point when being advised of the crappy results.
Same for under-running print resolutions.

People who repeatedly ask me to "send a passport photograph, sized 300 dpi", even after having heard my point on absolute vs relative resolution.

People failing in performing important tasks, and then forgetting their responsibilities. Nobody's perfect, but when others rely on you and you don't inform them about your inability, but simply let go of the task because you've tried and now you think it's not of your business any longer, you deserve a slow & painful death.

Kids on the subway who use their cellphones as ghetto blasters.

Public restroom door handles.

Upvoting one's own comments.

Poor spelling, grammar and punctuation, especially in business/professional documents annoys me.

I also get frustrated at people who cannot plan things to save their life, yet are in occupations that require them to plan things all the time.

Sticky government regulations made by a bunch of yuppies in a city somewhere who have no clue how the regulation will affect people besides them. I'm thinking of firearms and the wilderness, as well as hunting restrictions. Just because there aren't any bears in Southern Onterrible does not mean there should be a province wide moratorium on bear hunting!

People who make annoying little noises, and when they realize they are annoying other people they continue even louder. Arrgh.

The new fashion trend of girls walking around with their shorts unbuttoned. WTF?

Last but not least - the 300 or 400 pound people who think they can fit into one airline seat. Why are they always stuck beside me? The last time I flew somewhere, the guy beside me needed two seatbelt extenders and took up half of my seat (unfortunately it was a full flight, so I couldn't move), and he then proceeded to complain about everything from how small airline seats are (I had room to spare, lucky for him) to how much he didn't like the woman in front of us' hair. ARGGHHHH!

I am really slow at counting change, not because I'm stupid but because I have the same problem with numbers that dyslexics have with letters.

*I* really hate people that interrupt me when I'm counting change to tell me the correct amount, as if I am retarded or as if the three seconds they've shaved off the time they spent standing there will allow them to get to that burning building they've obviously on route to, seeing as they're in such a freaking hurry.

13 year olds "dating". Gives me the creeps.

Manga fans who try to explain to their buds that every single anime is different, because one's eyes are slightly larger than the others.

8 year olds with nice cellphones.

Anyone less than 12 using swearwords repeatedly.

Tweens in bands.

Smokers in cars.

Really reckless drivers with infants in the back seat.

First year at a sleep-away camp, and everyone else arrives and says "I'm baaaaack!" That haunted me in my childhood.

I've got more, but I'm boring you.

Peeve became in common useage in the early 1900's. It is derived from 'peevish' which is a very old word (15th century?).

Pet is added to mean that is a personal annoyance. It isn't some general annoyance that bothers everyone

A lady i work with clips her nails in the office. I don't have a problem with nail clipping sounds, but in your cubicle, within earshot of me? Creeps me out. Of course, they probably get annoyed by my gassiness...so i shouldn't complain.

I'm an easily frustrated person, to say the least...

- Chewing noises(They're just disgusting...(That includes gum chewing noises)).

- People who are asking me over and over to help them with something that I haven't figured out yet(this happened alot in chemistry because that's the first class I've done really well in(that involved slightly complicated levels of thinking), so I was asked to help my friends a lot...).

- People that go to guitar shops just to sit there, play, and look cool/show off thier 'skills'. There's no point.

- People that honk at you when they're driving as you walk down the road and yell... obscene things.
- Girls that dress 'provocatively' and complain and wonder aloud why, oh why those people honk at them.

- People that honk at you when you're walking down a road, then tell you about it the next day. If you saw me, why not give me a ride?

- People who don't realize that your conversation with them is just awkward, and keep pushing it forward and into more awkward pauses.

Needless to say, I'm easily and overly annoyed. I'll stop now, because otherwise I'll just keep going on and on.

I'm lysdexic. I worked at Sonic for four days as a carhop and promptly quit because trying to quickly figure out the change kept inducing panic attacks. I'm not in the least bit stupid - I know how to count change - but having to do it quickly and having people sitting there waiting for me to figure out the change quickly made my brain freak out. Anyway, I know it's frustrating for you, but try to have some compassion. I hate that I confuse 12 with 21 and 245 with 425 but there's not really anything I can do about it and I promise it sucks more for the dyslexic cashier than it is for the customer.

It sounds like I offended you, sorry. I should have given more details.

It wasn't the few seconds they took to count the change. I have no problem if they took a bit long because I don't get angry at people that easily. Also, I don't like to cause a fuss and have people at the store look and stare at me - it's embarrassing. I have girls who had no idea how to process a credit card sale and had to ask for assistance, which took like 10 minutes. I stood there with a smile and still thanked them after it's done.

I had to tell them what change to give me when I bought something that costs $10.50. I gave them $20.50 ($20 note and 50 cent coin), because I wanted a $10 note back. Somehow they didn't understand that, got confused, and gave me change for $20 instead (with a note and coins and without calculating the 50 cent coin). Of course, I'm not going to be short changed and walk away without telling them the correct change I should receive.

Another time was at the McDonald's drive through. Same sort of thing and he had to run to the other window to give me my correct change because he couldn't open the cash till after he closed it.
