Waiting at the DMV, oh thats the worst, for some reason or another the most annoying person trys to sit next to me right after I realize I am number 1,010...which reminds me of another pet peeve, are you ever out in public(waiting for the bus, in a public restroom, or even a hotel pool)some strange person starts to yap about there life story to you and tell you their problems whether you want to hear them or not. It's one thing to be pleasant and friendly it's another to start telling me about your bad sex life and how it's suffering(why me)real personal stuff.------------------ Sun in Libra Moon in Cancer Jupiter in Cancer Venus in Virgo Mars in Cancer Ascendant in Cancer IP: Logged |

This right here gets my goat.... UNINVITED attention. Those guys that hound, and hound even when you don't show any interest in them. It's so invasive.Things like, hey beautiful, when I'm not even looking at him! Telling me to, smile, when I'm not even looking at him! Just rude. So rude.... Just thinking about it makes me UPSET! I think it has something to do with the Virgo, Gem, Cap. IP: Logged |

lalalinda, do you work in a grocery store? you mentioned the aisle thing adn the Q-pon thing, which is by the way, how most people say it here in california. I say..coo-pon, which sounds just as annoying. infact, i think the whole notion of coupons could be a pet peave. they are just a ploy to get people to buy more stuff.speaking of ploys & buying more stuff, i think junk mail is my biggest annoyance. cell phones. when i see people talking on them when they are alone, in crowds for example, it points out thier discomfort/boredom, which is especially rude with the latter. i see people fiddling with thier phones constantly. i watchem. it;s a real treat. rrrr what else..

hello lovelyI do cocktails in a casino. I've come around a corner with a tray full of drinks only to run into one that is parked in the aisle just out of my immediate sight. Splat!! You fall and they'll drug test you (its not even your fault) Not to mention embarrasing its only happened once because I've learned to spin with 22 drinks Either that or when we're slammed and I get stuck behind one and can't pass. I understand if they're handicapped but some are just lazy.

1) People that chew with their mouths open while food and spittle shoots out every where. Do they really need to share their food with the world?2)Cheap but Greedy-gluttons. You know what I'm talking about. Those people that always have to be the first in the potluck or company pizza-day line, only to stack up their plates with as much food as possible yet bragging that they brought that $0.99 bottle of off-brand soda. They act as though they haven't eaten in a week, yet could live a month on their "fat-reserves". 3) STINKY breath people- UGH.. please, know you have buttbreath and eat gum... in what world does smoking, drinking coffee and NOT brushing your teeth result in lily-breath? 4) People that do not respect boundries. If I am at a social gathering having a great conversation with my friends, I have the expectation that joe-moron is NOT going to approach me and tell me what I should do for him and his company. Seriously, some guy did that about a few months ago and I had to spend 2 hours talking to him about how our grants cannot fund his project. LOL 5) UNINVITED guests.. If you do not call me to tell me you are coming over, don't expect me to be happy to see you at my door. This is especially true for psycho landlords that decide to weedwack the yard at 8am on a Saturday morning because "they couldn't sleep". It also applies to work- if you do not make an appointment do not expect me to drop my grant proposal so that I can spend an hour listening to your latest idea (this pertains to the same moron in peeve number 4) on how we should give you money.
Oh and I should have added this to #1- people that chew loudly.

Like what freaking moron wakes up in the middle of the night/early mourning and plays his music at cranked to 11(Spinal Tap joke), and it's never during the day or weekends only weekdays aghhh A-holes!

My roommate does that sometimes, and we live in a house. It's still no fun, and we can certainly have someone calling the cops on us for his idiocy. I have trouble with loud noises to begin with, so I really can't stand him doing that. I guess it's more than a pet peeve. It's a major annoyance. I also hate when people bring the party home once you've already gone to bed. IP: Logged |

1) Ignorant people2) Jealous/Envious people 3) People that talk too much - especially about petty, trivial things - esp when you have other things to attend to 4) Whiney people 5) Slow drivers & Wreckless drivers that have a problem with tailgating others 6) And Im gonna steal AG's as well..."People that wish to commute at the same time as me" The best way to say Coupons is Q-pons, imho.

CHAIN E-MAILS.... ugh....Somehow during the Holiday Season there are even more of them circulating around. I found a pretty good responce and wanted to share it with you, guys >THE SEVEN BASIC TYPES OF CHAIN LETTERS: >Chain Letter Type 1: (scroll down) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >Make a wish!!! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >Really, go on and make one!!! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >Oh please.... it will never work without you!!! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >Wish something else!!! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >Not that, you moron!!! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >Something else! Quick!!! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >Is your finger getting tired yet? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >STOP!!!! > >Wasn't that fun? Hope you made a great wish. Now, to make you feel guilty, here's what I'll do. First of all, if you don't send this to 5096 people in the next 5 seconds, you will be attacked by a mad goat and then thrown off a high building into a pile of manure. It's true! Because, you know, THIS letter isn't like all of those fake ones, THIS one is TRUE!! Really!!! Here's how it goes: Send this to 1 person: One person will be mad at you for sending them a stupid chain letter. Send this to 2-5 people: 2-5 people will be mad at you for sending them a stupid chain letter. 5-10 people: 5-10 people will be mad at you for sending them a stupidchain letter. 10-20 people: 10-20 people will be mad at you for sending them a stupid chain letter. 20 to 674, 951 people: 20 to 674, 951 people will be mad at you for sending them a stupid chain letter. Thanks!!!! Good Luck!!! Chain Letter Type 2 Hello, and thank you for reading this letter. You see, there is a starving little boy in Baklaliviatatlaglooshen who has no arms, no legs, no parents, and no goats. This little boy's life could be saved, because for every time you pass this on, a dollar will be donated to the Little Starving Legless Armless Goatless Boy from Baklaliviatatlaglooshen Fund. Remember, we have no way of counting letters sent and this is all bull. So go on, reach out. Send this to 5 people in the next 47seconds. Oh, and a reminder - if you accidentally send this to 4 or 6 people, you will die instantly. Thanks again!! Chain Letter Type 3 Hi there!! This chain letter has been in existence since 1897. This is absolutely incredible because there was no email then and probably not as many little 8 year olds writing chain letters. So this is how it works. Pass this on to 15,067 people in the next 7 minutes or something horrible will happen to you like: Stupid Horror Story #1 Miranda Pinsley was walking home from school on Saturday. She had recently received this letter and ignored it. She then tripped in a crack in the sidewalk, fell into the sewer, was gushed down a drainpipe in a flood of poopie, and went flying out over a waterfall. Not only did she smell nasty, she died. This Could Happen To You!!! Stupid Horror Story #2 Dexter Bip, a 13 year old boy, got a chain letter in his mail and ignored it. Later that day, he was hit by a car and so was his girlfriend. They both died. Their families were so upset that everyone related to them (even by marriage) went crazy and spent the rest of their miserable lives in an institution. This Could Happen To You!!! Remember, you could end up like Pinsley and Bip did. Just send this letter to all of your loser friends, and everything will be OK. Chain Letter Type 4: As if you care, here is a poem that I wrote. Send it to every one of your friends. Friends A friend is someone who is always at your side, A friend is someone who likes you even though you smell like poop, A friend is someone who likes you even though you're ugly, A friend is someone who stays with you all night while you cry about your loser life, A friend is someone who scrubs your toilet and vacuums and then gets the check and leaves and doesn't speak much English, no sorry - that's the cleaning lady, A friend is not someone who sends you chain letters because he wants his wish of being rich to come true. Now pass this on! If you don't, you'll be eaten by wild goats. Chain Letter Type 5: This e-mail is wicked-cool! It was started by Microsoft to test its e-mail tracking system because, you know, a big high-tech company like Microsoft always sends important new software out over the internet to be available to any moron who can operate a computer, right? Plus, they have formed a secret merger with Disney Corp., who has agreed to give up millions of dollars in revenue by giving everyone who reads this e-mail, passes it on, looks at it, knows someone that looked at it, or is related to someone who is a friend of someone who looks at it A FREE, ALL-EXPENSES-PAID TRIP to Disneyland, DisneyWorld, or EuroDisney! So pass this on to everyone you know that is gullible enough to believe this (or not)! Even if it's not true, hey insulting all of your friends by implying that they are gullible by sending this to them is worth the improbable chance that you could goto Disneyland! Even if you lose all of your friends because they are tired of receiving this kind of junk from you, it's worth the chance, right? And just for good measure, if you don't send this on, Microsoft will send its specially trained attack-goats to pilfer your house and eat all of your family, SO SEND IT ON!!!!! Chain Letter Type 6: VIRUS WARNING!!! If you receive an email entitled "Badtimes," delete it immediately. Do not open it. Apparently this one is pretty nasty. It will not only erase everything on your hard drive,but it will also delete anything on disks within 20 feet of your computer. It demagnetizes the stripes on ALL of your credit cards. It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play.It will re-calibrate your refrigerator's coolness settings so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. It will program your phone AutoDial to call only your mother-in-law's number. So be careful! Forward this to all of your friends, relatives, neighbors, family, enemies, plumbers, garbagemen, stock brokers, doctors, and any other acquaintances! It's for their own good! Thank you. Chain Letter Type 7: Here is a cute picture I drew. > (\ /) > ( \ / ) > ( \ / ) > ( /<>\ ) > ( / \/ \ ) > / \ __ > ( ) ( ) > It is a decapitated angel. Send it on to all of your friends so it will brighten their day like it did yours! If you don't, demon-possessed goats will move into your house and eat all of your socks, leading you to believe that something is wrong with your washing machine because all of your socks keep disappearing. Have a nice day!!! There. Now that we've covered and dumped on the seven main types of chain letters, onto the ironic part. In order for this to get any popularity, send it on!!! If you don't think it was funny at all, don't bother, but otherwise forward this sucker to everyone you know!! If you don't, I don't care, but why not show this around? Take two minutes and forward it. Thanks! Remember, the moral of the story is, if you get a chain letter, ignore it. If it's a joke or something, send it, sure, but if it's gonna make people feel guilty (i.e. the goatless boy from Baklaliviatatlaglooshen) or nervous (i.e. Miranda Pinsley who ended up in a waterfall of turds) just delete it. Do yourself a favor, and everyone else in the world, and say, DEATH TO CHAIN LETTERS!!" IP: Logged |

I hate that too AG.. what nerve!1. People who are inconsiderate. 2. People who are late and don't care. (see #1) 3. People who do not RSVP... and then show up with guests in tow. My ex husbands family was this way. It drove me nuts. We invited my ex's sister and her family (4) as our camper slept 8. Not only did they never call to confirm they were going to come, they brought a total of 18 people. This Virgo/Cap rising was completely freaked. And with my Aries Moon... they knew it. IP: Logged |

"I hate buying something for myself, putting it in the refrigerator, and coming back to find it's missing."Well, since everyone else is nagging... why not The only time this really bothers me is when some key ingredient I was needing to prepare dinner "that night" is gone. Why would anyone want to eat half a block of bleu cheese? Or I reach for the milk and it's gone.... I don't care really... just please let me know before I drive home (which is 10 miles from any store) Oh, I'm on a roll now A few more things that bother me a little: 1. Just because I've sit something somewhere and it hasn't been moved or touched in 4 months doesn't mean that I don't know it's there or that I have no intentions of using it. Leave it alone... or please let me know that you took it so I won't think I'm going crazy misplacing things... 2. I keep my house clean... I don't care if you want to fix yourself something to eat... just please have the courtesy to pick up your mess and load your dishes into the dishwasher.... 3. When I let someone with a car borrow my Jeep to move something and they leave trash in it or don't put gas back into it. This one really bothers me: 4. Gossip Edit - I almost forgot No. 5 Laziness That's all ______________________________________ Scorpio sun, venus, mars, mercury, and uranus Libra moon, pluto, and asc.

Pet peeves... mostly about drivers, coz I spend way too much time on the road as it is!1. Slow drivers who think they can hog the passing lane, all the while being the one that others pass. And then, when you pass them, find out that the reason they are SOOOO slow is that they are on the bloody cell phone! 2. Rubber neckers (especially when the accident is on the other side of the freeway and the cops are ALREADY THERE)! Geez, how many times do I have to say this. IT REALLY IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. 3. Drivers who can't be bothered pulling over to the side of the road when they are loading passengers... this happens a lot at mall entrances. These inconsiderate people 1. never signals 2. gets upset when they are honked! By goodness of gods, please pull over so other people do not have to pile up just coz you think you own the road.
