re: Do you have any dumb pet peeves?

I have this fricking dude at work. He’s Eastern European. Can barely write in English. Refuses to use question marks and will only use one word sentences most of the time. I don’t remember ever seeing him use a question mark once

He will send me a one word IM and I’ll just be like ok. and he will will respond “I’m asking you a question.

People saying "also too". Drives me nuts.

The guy at my work is in his 60's. Never married, no kids and NEVER been out of the state of Louisiana. I'm not even kidding. His emails look like this:

"Hey cheobode there is something wrong with my computer an printer an I need you to look at it."

I'll ask what's wrong, his response:

"Oh well it's not coming on sometimes an sometimes it comes on an shuts off an my printer is printing lines an jamming all the time."

I got a headache just typing that shite.

I used to start these kinds of threads back in the day.

The PM Dawn one referenced in that link still bothers me to this day.

Another of mine is useless elevator chatter. People that feel the need to speak/say something in an elevator and can't just stand there quietly for 30 seconds drive me crazy. It sucks too, because they're just trying to be nice. But I get so annoyed when someone is on the elevator and is just like "It's almost Friday..." and in my head I'm like "Bitch, no it's not...it's Wednesday afternoon." Or they'll say "It's cold outside." Yes, thanks. I know that since we both just walked into the building from outside.

I realize it kinda makes me an a-hole, but useless elevator chatter like that drives me insane.

When people in the service industry tell me "I'll be with you momentarily."

What? You're leaving for good? Is there someone else I can talk to?

People who need a second to adjust while entering a grocery store. I've been noticing it more lately and it makes my fricking blood boil.

Take 2 steps inside and STOP...then situate purse in cart, get phone/list out, look around the store like they've never seen a fricking grocery before...all the while clogging up the door

Seeing people write loose instead of lose. Even worse is looser/loser.

Also people who use “like”, “you know”, or “know what I mean” between every other word when they speak.

If I'm at a large event (concert, sporting event, etc) and use a parking garage, there's no way I'm going to pull into my space. I'm going to back into a space to make it easier to exit when me and the other thousand cars are all trying to leave at the same time.

Honestly all of my pet peeves are justified. Like loud chewing, taking up the entire walkway and walking slowly, People calling when they have one thing to say and then turn the convo about what they are eating or guess what they did today, just people doing things that show they aren't paying attention in general


However if I were to pick my dumbest pet peeve, I would have to say it is the sound of the phone ringing. I get so may calls in a day (useless calls that do not need to be made) that the very sound of the ring makes me irrationally angry. My phone is essentially always on silent because of this. But now it is getting to the point that the phone vibrating in my pocket makes me mad
