What your pet peeve?  I noticed any time I call my credit card company and certain customer service, some of the people just want to make small talk and linger on the phone.  They resolve the problem but continue to jibber jabber.  So when they are jibbering, I say thank you and hang up.  Sometimes I think they do it so they don't to answer more calls and end up with less calls for the day,  What's your pet peeve?  Cat Mad

People who drive too slow including my husband lol People who never get off their phones. People who try to run people over in parking lots. Rude people who treat people like dirt because they can.

I have many.  But the one bugging me now is not getting a written thank you note for a wedding gift.  My nephew got married almost 3 months ago, and I have not received a thank you, neither has my Mom, Sister, or Son/Daugher in Law.  I am about to send my brother, his Dad, a text to say WTF?   There is no excuse for this.

In the grocery store parking lot. I'm two thirds or three quarters of the way backed out of my spot. Backed out far enough that I'm about ready to straighten out my wheel and move forward. Then suddenly some dumb$%$ who can't wait for me to finish backing out comes at a good clip down the row and almost clips me.

@Puppy Lips Please, don't tell his Dad. It is not his circus.

I'm sorry you all have not gotten a written thank you note, but if he is married his Dad is not responsible for him & shouldn't have to deal with that.

@dusty1  Then should I just let it go?  That does not sit will with me.  I never got a thank you from my neice, my brother's daughter, that I sent well over a year ago for her graduation.  I never said anything, but that still bothers me.  This was an out of town wedding and we spent a lot of money on travel and lodging to be there.  The least they could do is thank us.

My biggest is anyone who leaves a shopping cart stranded in a parking lot.  The driver's who have older/teenage children in cars with them who do that really peeve me off.

@Puppy Lips,  You are not alone but it was not a wedding gift but a graduation gift or birthday gift or long distance Christmas gift.  No thank you notes.  I actually stopped giving gifts to these people.  It is sooooooooo rude to not thank someone.  My mother thought me this when I was very young.  Always send a thank you note.  This younger generation feels you owe them the gift.  They never call anyway to see how you are before I stopped the gifts so why bother with them?  Not me.  I am finished being the nice one.
