What are your irritations? What can't you stand doing?

I hate Hate HATE - calling a business and having to press a bazillion numbers just to talk to a person!

Right now,my bf. He got a new job and goes to work in the mornings now instead of the evenings .So now he can drink beer again.
With his other job he couldn't drink and he was the greatest ,supportive,sweetest bf ever and a complete joy to be around.Now that he can drink again hes back to being a mean,green,evil,hating machine!

Parent's and care givers who park along the school in the NO PARKING zone! Plus the ones who park in the enterance so you can't even get into the parking lot to wait for your kids!

Dolly I just want to say I am sorry you have to deal with someone like that.

I hate being put on hold for what seems like an eternity whenever I call anywhere. Or driving up the NJ parkway or Turnpike and you and everyone around you is keeping with the flow of traffic and then there is the one driver who decides to drive way under the limit in the fast lane. That happends to me almost daily on my way to work. and last but not least, taking my car in for an oil change or maintance and having some guy working at the shop thinking I have idiot written across my forehead when he says I need things done to my car which I clearly know do not exist. For instance at my last oil change the moron tried to tell me I needed to have the air (yes air) in my tires rotated and it was only gonna cost an additional 9.95 I told him for 9.95 I would like to see him do it since it must be something magical that only he can do since I am not stupid.

When DH insists on "fixing" something and ends up making it worse...He just won't admit that there are some things that he's not good at...home repairs at the top of the list. I've told him time and time again that it would be like me trying to make my DD a prom dress when I can barely sew a button on a shirt. I know my limitations and will ask for help when I can't do something. Last week, my Dad spent a whole day putting wallpaper up in our powder room. It looked really pretty and my Dad worked his butt off. Well, DH tries to reconnect the toilet tank (took it apart to make it easier for my Dad to paper behind there...which was nice, but...)...He ends up tearing something off and water is spewing all over the floor and new wallpaper...a flood...He turns off the water and calls the plumber...$600+ later...need I say more?...So, some of the wallpaper at the bottom where the pipe was is screwed up...I can't have anything nice around here...I have more stories of home repair horrors...There is so much around here that needs to be done and DH keeps saying he'll get to it...One day I should just call a handyman...But then DH would balk about how much they charge...It's a no-win situation... ~Lisa

Lazy kids, press 1 for English, cleaning a bathroom after 3 boys, the way kids talk to parents these days.......etc....... I could go on and on. Kids who like to listen and sit around when adults are talking.

I think my NO#1 peeve is lazy kids, or should I say parents who do not teach their kids to clean after themselves and expecting everyone else to do the work.

I think I am down on kids today!.......lol


forgot one........ kids that do not say THANK YOU when you give them something (xmas, presents,etc...) they just expect you to buy them everything.


Ok, I go my vent out for the month . Maybe Parents will be my next vent.

And NOOOOO I am not talking about my kids at all. I taught them right. (well maybe the bathroom one).........lmao

my husband's family but my famous saying is "what comes around goes around and you will get your justice reward in the end". I just needed to vent a little.

slow drivers, drivers who don't use turn signals, cigarette smoke, people who can't put their cell phones down - whether they're talking on it, texting, checking email or whatever - STOP IT!, long lines at checkouts when there's 10 open lines with no cashiers, people who park in the handicap spot and aren't handicapped, people who butt in line because their time is obviously more important than mine, telemarketing calls even though we're on the no-call list and they have some special loophole - I don't care - don't call me - your loophole means nothing to me!, celebrities, this election that has started 2 years early - I'm already sick of hearing about it! Jeez, I must be in a bad mood - everything bugs me right now!

Well, she doesn't have to, not unless she wants to. He's a boyfriend, not a husband and there's plenty of nice men out there. It's just a question of whether his good points outweigh his bad points and it sounds like they do. It appears that he doesn't handle alcohol very well. If he could give up the beer, then that would leave him being the greatest , most supportive, sweetest bf ever and a complete joy to be around. He'd surely be worth keeping then!

Disrespectful people!!

People that don't appreciate others!!

The most irritating for me is tolerating my mother in law. She doesn't respect the fact that I'm a stay at home mom. She has belittled me numerous times about it infront of others. Thankfully, my husband supports the fact that I stay home and has made it clear to his mother. That doesn't seem to make a difference cause she's even made disrespectful comments infront of him and my family. The way I deal with this issue is I limit the amount of time I spend w/her. I try not to let it bother me, but I always wanted to have a bond w/my mother in law. I just don't think it's possible. I've been married almost 10 years and she's always disrespected me even before I became a SAHM. I am a peace maker and I've tried many times to make peace w/my mother in law, but nothing seems to work.

Sorry for the long post. I just needed to vent!!

I just have to train him all over again is all. But I'll get him straightened out.

An overall lack of civility in this country.

Sounds like my bf,lol. His idea of fixing a tiny rust spot on the hood of my car that is this big > O is turning it into a HUGE DULL off colored spot that now covers 3/4 the hood of my car with all his repairing his repair jobs. And now looks HORRIBLE!!!!! Then theres the rusty bathtub shower wall that he thinks he can repair with a gallon of cheap regular paint from BigLots. Of course it melts off the shower wall with every shower so then he takes it back off completing our bathroom from hell .
And the door he recently fixed only for me to open it and have it fall on top of me almost killing me then hits the floor leaving a huge scratched up dent that he nows says he can easily fix with a little paint thinner. I can hardly wait to see what this kitchen floor is going to look like after he attempts that repair.
But,he's learning.I guess....

My peeve is walking into a public restroom and there is no TP, no lock on the door, or pee on the seat ! UGH. I also hate when there is a smell.

Another peeve is going down a shopping aisle, and someone is blocking all to hell so they can read a label and Taking a 100 years to do so...OR, not at least moving their cart out of the way so you can pass by.

I dislike tailgaters who are so close, you cannot see their headlights in your rearview mirror.

I cannot stand wobbly wheel grocery carts..especially at WalMart. why cant they buy new ones ? Or the handle is sticky and gummy..the wheels squeak..etc

You would hate living in this town then...If you don't come to a complete, I mean COMPLETE stop at the stop sign, a cop will be waiting there to write you a ticket!...I used to always "roll" the stop sign...Not now...The cops are pretty harsh and I don't have the money to pay for all of the tickets I would get! Not sure if you meant at a stop sign anyway, I'm just venting...This is something that annoys me...Cops who give tickets for petty crap like this...Go bust some drug dealers... ~Lisa

People who think it's all about them irritate me.....ummm, yes, your poo-poo really does stink like the rest of ours.

Poor parenting in public really gets me. When I see a little kid throwing a minor tantrum, and the parent throws out some unrealistic threat "If you don't stop, we'll leave right now." Kid senses the parent doesn't mean it, and continues behavior. Parent is now embarassed, and grits teeth and gets closer to offending kid: "If you don't stop RIGHT NOW, I'll call the police on you and they'll take you to jail"... Kid doesn't change behavior, parent obviously doesn't follow up, and the event just leaves everyone within earshot wondering who they're rooting for, anyway...

I also don't like when people don't wave "thank you" when I let them out in front of me in traffic. I crave the wave!

Parents that can't accept that little Johnny or Jill actually do things wrong at school. Like bite another kid or kick another kid in the groin. I'm so TIRED of hearing....NOT MY CHILD!

No, I mean at a turn like into a parking lot, or at a green light, etc. LOL, don't hold back about the cops though Lisa. Let it all out.

I hate it when I see parents leaving little kids in the car by themselves when it's still running......what are they thinking?!?

People who feel the need to block the entrance to the school parking lot because they are too lazy to walk a few extra feet to get the their child....

People who chew with their mouth's open! I don't want to see what your eating!

And the thing I hate the absolute most is when people look at my oldest DS and tell him he should know how to behave out it public (he is the one that is autistic!) Just because kids look "normal" doesn't mean they are!

O-H-I-O

I hate when my hubby says he will fix something, and then NEVER makes any attempt to even look at it. It's not that he cannot do it, it's that he can't say NO... to anyone. He says yes to the crazy neighbor across the street that asks for his help, he says yes to family, co workers, friends, anyone. So when I ask for something simple he says Yes. I think it's simple, he'll get around to it, but no. So I find a professional that can take care of whatever and he gets mad that I paid someone to do something he can do. grrrrrrrrr We've been married 7 years, and there is no end in sight for my Yes Man.

I got so mad once that I threw a fan out the front door. When it didn't make a satisfactory smashing noise, I went out picked it up drug it inside, up the stairs and threw it out the window to make a better smashing noise. Hubby came home and found it in front of the door and asked what happened. I said I needed to go buy a new fan because the other one broke.

I fix this problem by washing my windshield. My sprayers tend to overshoot my windshield and they spray ALL OVER the person behind me. I have done this on MANY occasions. I go thru windshield wiper fluid pretty quickly, but it's worth .88 for me to get a good chuckle to myself seeing the person get irritated about having a yucky windshield. They have NO idea that I'm doing it intentionally.

Know it all people who think they are the most beautiful creature and perfect to walk the face of the earth.

Middle School kids that think they are better than others.

Bullies.

Repeating myself.

Loud people out in public such as screaming at their kids, or acting out just to be seen.

People who give me advice on what I should do with my kids when they need to look a little closer and pay attention to their own.

I agree. What is up with that in this town. They don't even stop people running red lights.

I hate people who block intersections when the light changes creating gridlock. Dog owners that can't seem to keep their dogs on a leash or clean up after them. I hate cab drivers. I hate the rude disrespectful self absorbed people who seem to be taking over everything.

Poor Customer Service, bad grammar, and hearing parents yell complete nonsense to their children (or worse yet, hitting them) in public. It makes me sick to my stomach what I see some parents inflicting on their children. Granted some children aren't sweet, but I have come to the conclusino that some parents just have their head so far up their own behind, they could care less about anyone else. Including their own flesh and blood.

It is just sad.

oh wait. I HATE HATE HATE it when people let their cats out to wander the neighborhood. The cats end up under cars, in cars if the windows are down, under MY porch instead of their own, in MY backyard instead of their own, in the flowerbeds, etc. If you can't keep your cat inside where it belongs, DON'T GET ONE. sheesh.

Oh - I soooo agree with this one.

I have woke up numerous times in the past week hearing "reeeeooooowwwww" of cats. I don't know if they are in heat or what.

Plus, they are peeing all over our property.

I can keep my cat inside my house. Why can't they keep their cat inside their house?

Irritants to me :

People who tailgate me when I AM doing the speed limit. - I am not a speed demon. More often than not, there is precious cargo in my car. If you want to do 45 in a 35 zone, please pass me, and do it nicely. I do not go more than 3 miles over the speed limit, and if you want to speed, you are more than welcome to do so. Just don't tailgate me and then flip me a bird or dirty look as you do it. * I * am well aware what the speed limit is.

People who wear pajama pants out in public. Obvious pajama pants. Please, put some sweat pants or shorts or something on. (This does not count for college students who are wearing them to class because they have one early morning class and then are going back to sleep) - I am talking more about going to the grocery store or Walmart or even the school to pick up my son (at 2:30pm) and seeing people wearing pajama pants

People who back into parking spaces. This irritates the crap out of me. One of these days, I am going to jack your spot as you are getting ready to back into it and play dumb. I would bet if you attempted to back into a spot during a DMV drive you would not get a passing grade. Parking spots are ment to be pulled into not backed into.

Maybe the parents are going back to bed, as well? Not sure what the difference is between a student who goes into class wearing them and a parent dropping their kid off at school?

People that think they know it ALL. It's one thing if you do, but, to just THINK you do and act like it....UGGGHHH, PULEEEZZZ!!!!

Rude people.

"Yesterday my life was duller, now everything's technicolor!"

Just wondering why this bothers you? I back into the parking space (in a parking lot) when I pick up the kids from school. When we return to the car, there are parents and kids all over the place, and I think it's just safer to pull out straight, where I can clearly see what is around me.

people who get the "deals" emails I send to them...then don't do the deal...they come to my house...see my "booty" and are salivating over it and expecting me to give them some! WTF ever! I did the deal, I paid for my gas, put in my time and resources, and they want it? No way!

I used to hate the wandering cats of the neighborhood until I realized the mouse population has become non-exsistant! We would get the occasional mouse in the winter trying to hole up in our house but then we got a new neighbor who had several cats that would troll the neighborhood and voila! No more mice!

Oh, and I HATE mice more than I HATE trolling cats.

__________________

I think the main reason it irritates me is because it looks as though someone is just driving down the parking area (yes, this happens a lot at schools!) and then all of a sudden they whip the car into reverse and go backing into a spot. If I am anywhere near them, not tailgating, but in back of them, and all of a sudden the reverse lights go on, I get a WTH? thought going through my head. Plus, it seems like people who back into spots normally don't give a rip about parking between the lines. On, over, middle of the lines - it doesn't seem to matter to I would say at least 75% of the line backer population. And if 2 cars park on/over the lines, there is one extra spot that cannot be used.

This has always bugged me. Petty? Yes. But it drives me batty!!!!

"Yesterday my life was duller, now everything's technicolor!"

People who complain about tailgaters without wondering why they are the targets of so much tailgating and then correcting the situation.

If you get tailgated all the time, chances are you are the problem. If it happens when you are in the right hand lane of a four lane street then just slow down and they will more than likely pass you. If it happens when you are in the left hand lane of a four lane street, then get in the correct lane, (that would be the right hand lane), and stay there until you get near your turning point.

And for those of you getting tailgated while talking on the phone or to your kids, put down the phone, ignore the kids, because you evidently can't drive and take care of other business at the same time.

I have probably done this but I will gripe anyway...

People who ask themselves questions in their posts. What is that all about? Please see example below.



Am I talking to myself? Yes I am.
Do I have a valid point? Obviously so.
Am I going to keep talking to myself? Most certainly.


Oh, and I <beep beep beep> back it up too, and I don't whip it or park over the line. I must be one of the 25%

Rebecca

Rebecca, do I think your post is funny? Yes I do. hahaha!

- plastic 'silverware' <ugh -- hate, hate, hate it>
- people how say one thing and then do the exact opposite
- people who wear PJ's & slippers all day long, even when going outside the house. Unless you're sick or it's early in the morning and you're going back to bed right after dropping your child off at school, what is so difficult about getting dressed. How hard is it to throw on sweat pants, a t-shirt and flip flops before going out? My neighbor does this all the time. The other day I saw her at the bus stop in the morning and she was dressed up nice. In the afternoon she stopped by my house to pick something up and had on her PJ's, slippers & a bathrobe as a 'coat'. I'm all for comfort, but c'mon PJs are for lounging around the house, not going out in public.
Another neighbor worked from home and he would wear PJ bottoms and slippers with a shirt & tie. Obviously he was doing video conferences from home. Like how hard is it to put on jeans or sweatpants. I just don't get it.

Sarah........mom to Jason & Devin

My husband insisting on watching the History Channel every hour that he is home. I feel like throwing a brick through the television!

LOL, I do this too and thought that I was the only one!
