The Pet Peeve Thread

Okay since the snow is crap, may as well do some whining.

My first contribution:

Headlights that stay on for about 8 seconds after the doors are shut that make you do the nice thing and tell the driver his lights are on just to be corrected.

Your move.

Definitely people that don't know their surroundings when skiing/boarding and just run into people because they aren't paying attention.

Cell phones and driving-I'd rather cross paths with a drunk driver.

I-70.

Highway tolls.

When slicing potatos with a conventional chef's knife and they stick to knife.

Litter, or other public acts of laziness such as shoppers that fail to corral their grocery cart.

Surcharges ect....

When people start a sentence, usually an annoying opinion or declaration with "the reality is..."

1. People who take routine cell phone calls while they are talking with a living, breathing human life form in their presence. I have no problem to take an urgent or emergency call, but most of the time it's mundane blather that can wait for a return call.

2. Weather forecasters who never acknowledge that they got yesterday's forecast dead wrong.

I hate it when talking to my co workers (about work related things) and I get put on indefinite hold when they take a call. Had a supervisor who routinely make a 10 minute conversation take twice as long because of "family chatter".

Anybody who comes to my desk to talk, I'll talk. When that phone rings, it gets put on v mail.

I agree with the cell phone chatter..people should leave their cell phones in their car when they're at work or skiing..

Gotta agree with the cell phone manners, or lack therof. People should learn how to interact with people in front of them, and folks wanting to chat on technology should learn technology takes a back seat to real people.
