That makes me think of another one, I cannot take hearing when someone is gulping down a glass of water or other drink. I literally cannot stand the sound of it. I can down an entire glass or two of water right after exercise or something and it does not bother me because I don’t hear that sound but anyone else and I am like grossed out and my daughter loves to do it around me, I am certain just to irritate me. LOL
]]>The funny thing is some people get all caught up on if the person is wearing gloves or not. I actually think it is worse when they are wearing gloves because they don’t change them and unlike their hands where they can feel something gross or wet and wash them, they just continue to work with the gloves. The grossest thing I have ever see was an employee go into a bathroom with his food prep gloves on and come out with the same gloves on. (Excuse me while I dry heave thinking of that) Then the next person is so hung up on gloves and is so glad he is using them but little do they know where he just was and what he was doing with those gloves that are now making his food. Yuck!!!
]]>Some of my pet peeves are:
people who chew and smack or talk when they are eating, i think its just disgusting.
When parents take their children to the park to socialize not with their children but to talk to each other, ok with older children, but some I’ve seen really younger children like toddler/preschool age practically unsupervised. I don’t know it just makes me upset I have to babysit their children and mine it is not ok because I go wherever my son does and that means everywhere for my active little boy. I have to watch my child (he is autistic), but anything can happen to any child at any time and it makes me mad and really sad that some people don’t enjoy being around their child.
It also makes me mad when some people let their baby crawl free or even young toddler in the mall play area when kids are just running wild from all directions. It is so scary I won’t even take my 4 year old on a busy day.
Another pet peeve of mine is when people smoke around their children. It’s one thing to have a choice as an adult to smoke, but a child’s lungs are much different.
Most California drivers, need I say more. I hate LA freeways. Also drivers that go way too slow when others are behind them. People talking or eating while driving. And also another pet peeve of mine is when pedestrians jaywalk across the street when there is a crosswalk less than 10 feet in front of them, worse is when they have a kid with them.
I guess I am just a mom and a lot of my pet peeves are based around that. And those rude people that like to make comments or give bad looks. It used to bother me so much when people gave me the worst looks or comments when my son was having a meltdown, and I have felt like just screaming he’s autistic what’s your problem. I hated the comment, Oh he doesn’t look autistic… I have learned to ignore all these a little more because it takes away from helping my son, especially when it comes to his personal safety. Judgmental people in general bother me, no one knows what your life or situation is like unless they walk a day in your shoes.
]]>Really, is turning pages so difficult that you need to lick your fingers to do it?
]]>Cell phone users while driving! They drive so slow and not pay attention to things around them, causing reckless driving!
Folks that like to park almost diagonally across 2 spaces
When Gas prices go up and hardly come down
Bad manners, don’t seem to hear folks say these as much “Thank You, Excuse Me, Pardon, etc
Folks talking on their cell phones at the movies!
Parents with kids with no seat belts or car seats.
Turn Signal.. Ohh boy where do I start.. Please turn them on!
When I have Big guy out shopping with me, (17 years, built like a foot ball Player) is mumbling to himself randomly.. get dirty looks ,like he is crazy or contagious.. he autistic, folks need to show a little more compassion.
]]>1) Smoking in public!
2) Finger lickers (when turning pages)
3) Ice crunchers: The people who finish drinking something and then have to chomp on the ice.
4) The misuse of the words THEIR, THEY’RE and THERE.
5). The phrases “I SEEN IT” or “IT’S BROKE.” (I’ve seen it or it’s broken).
6) I hate when people wear rubber gloves to make your food, like in the deli, and pick up the community ink pen to write the name of your sandwich down WITH THE GLOVES ON. Or when they touch their face or hair with the gloves on and continue making your food. YUCK!
LOL, that is probably why I shop at Sams (no bags) and I do most of my other shopping online whenever possible.
]]>A few of mine: 1 Moms would let there kids touch your stuff with there grimy fingers and when you try to polity move the touched object they say, “oh, is that not ok?”
2 People who drive up in the right side of you to cut everyone else off, “Yes you are more important than me, go ahead!”
3Much like the aisle, oblivious people drive me NUTS! Again they are the most important people ever!
4 Loud chewers. I can no longer handle sitting near my mother.
5 People who practice personal hygiene in public. Nail clippers, finger nail files, even flossing have I been witness to – these things need to stay in the bathroom!
