Personal Pet Peeves

Mersha — Tue, 04 May 2021 16:40:14 GMT

There are pet peeves that are so blatant that most would agree they are highly offensive.

Sometimes we have a peeve that would not bother some but, to us, it is a big deal.

I have a few but one that I really dislike is when someone comes into my home and places a handbag on my kitchen or dining table. I can imagine how many yucky places it has been, including floors. It is probably not a big deal for many, but not me.

How about yours?

Mine is don't come in my house and touch my stuff - pick it up, look at it and then don't put it back where and how I had it.

I don't like anyone dropping by without an invitation (or phone call).

I have a friend who if I hand my phone to her to show a picture, she will scroll through surrounding pictures to see what else is there.

After a few instances of this, I no longer show her pictures in person.

walmart customers not letting me get checked out before they throw their 'stuff' up on the belt and I have to grab a 'stick' to lay down and tell the cashier where my stuff ends and hers begins.

I check myself out more now at self service to avoid these hogs.

when you go to pay your credit card balance in full. You hand them the bill and a check with the exact amount showing they match. People will say

"You want to pay the whole amount"?

Uh, Yes, dumba*s that's why the check is for **.** and the bill from Visa is the same. I mean ...............

I'm on a roll here.............

UPS, FEDX, not ringing doorbell to let you know you have a package sitting out there for the world to see. I got my tomato plants yesterday and if I hadn't checked 'informed delivery' to give you some idea when they would be coming they would sit out there for couple of days.

I called up local office and said "why don't drivers ring the doorbell it's not hard and it's free"? they said "we thought they always do". I said not my house. We don't use front door that much to stumble over the stuff .

My porch is a porch pirates dream. LOL

People taking food from my plate, even if it's just a French fry.

??? I always put the stick down as soon as I have unloaded my groceries onto the belt. Most people do the same, in my experience.

Except at my local Safeway (Albertsons). They don't allow you to unload your groceries until the person in front of you is finished. Stupid Covid rule.

This relates to one of my pet peeves... We have a bench right outside our front door. But many of the delivery people (UPS Fedex and Amazon) will leave the packages on the porch floor. Some packages are very heavy. Seems like it would be easier for the driver(and us!) to set down or pick up the package from a bench rather than the ground.

People jumping the queue in front of you are reaching across in front of you to get the last item on the shelf that you were getting ready to get since you was first.

I have too many to mention; plus, I think it's better for my well-being not to dwell on them. :-)

Two silly things but are like nails on a chalkboard for me. Putting an S on the end of Nordstrom and even worse adding AT to the end of a sentence when it isn't needed. Otherwise I'm pretty chill.

Re: Personal Pet Peeves

Foxxee — Tue, 04 May 2021 17:43:28 GMT

Yes, I have some.

Top Two

Poor quality.

Bad customer service.

Others

Dropping in unexpectedly...inviting themselves when they weren't invited.

Receiving advice when they weren't asked.

Not accepting "no" for an answer.

Doing something that clearly involves me when asked not to do it.

Wanting to talk on the phone for hours assuming I have nothing to do all day.

Nosy neighbors.

Pushy personalities.

Putting words in my mouth that I didn't say.

Not following instructions even though I ask them to take notes.

Landscapers not getting the edging straight. Wow, that bothers me. I can do it, why can't they?
