Re: Pet Peeve! What's yours?

When shoppers drop items off the shelf in stores and don't bother to pick it up and put it back, so rude!

People who don't use turn signals

 

People who drive under the speed limit in the left lane

 

In the grocery store: emptying their cart onto the belt and then not pushing the cart forward.

 

Huge trucks and SUVs taking up more than one parking space. If you can't park that monster properly, don't buy it!

 

Reality TV and tabloid magazines

 

Specific to this forum:  posting an inane picture in the middle of a interesting discussion. I find it condescending and very passive-aggressive

 

 

 

I was out running errands today and the no turn signal and slow poke drivers were right there to annoy me.

My major pet peeves all involve the grocery store shopping experience.  

First: those people who take up both sides of the aisle pushing their cart right down the middle & those who park their carts in the middle of an aisle, blocking everyone else, while they wander around picking items off the shelves.

 

Second: those people who apparently don't understand that they actually have to pay for their groceries.  They stand idle, staring into space, while the clerk scans everything and then once the clerk is finished, gives them a total, and only then do they start fishing around in their purse for their wallet, checkbook, debit or credit card. 

 

Third: those people who have no clue as to how to use a debit card.  If you aren't comfortable using one, go to your bank and get someone there, or a relative to show you how to use it, before you show up at a store.  

 


@scotnovel

 

How about shoppers who just stand there waiting for the clerk to bag their groceries after completing the transaction, especially when there's a line behind them?

 

Seriously Princess, grab a bag and start loading!

People who refuse to take care of their screaming kids, who are generally in a place that isn't kid friendly in the first place.

 

Young parents with those obnoxious TURBO strollers, the kind with 12 sippy cup holders. Then they want haul that sucker into the trendy restaurant and have everyone move around them.

this is so silly i hate to even mention it, but......my husband constantly leaves the lights on when he leaves the room.  it drives me crazy.  i was brought up to turn lights off when leaving the room.  he says, it is not costing that much in electricity so, so what?  that's not the point.  besides this, he really is a great guy.  lol  this just grates on me.  sorry everyone. 


I never turn off lights in a room when I leave, I love the lights on in my house unless we are leaving the house or going to bed!!

Ignore them.  They have small lives...


I can't even take people like that seriously......it's laughable, yet kind of sad and pathetic at the same time.

@Drythe, I don't know if you've been following the thread in TV and Movies about the Netflix "documentary" on that Avery fellow, but besides murder, he allegedly soaked a cat in gas and oil and threw it in a bonfire to watch it suffer. Men like that should stay in prison for that act alone.

You know, I think prison is too good for him.
