Pet Peeves Thread

[CutieProtector]

People who interrupt during presentations, or who interrupt a conversation with something totally random. While I understand social cues can be hard for some people (I have Autism), it still feels like us "grown ups" (18+ years old) ought to know better.

Two of my biggest pet peeves are driving slow in the fast lane and not using your turn signal in a roundabout. Both make my blood boil.

Canada has weird laws regarding turn signals in roundabouts...I was riding with another and I was astounded. The way they want it done there, a person could get in a wreck turning, looking out and jockeying a turn-signal. No way.

My parents said that the fine in my hometown for using your turn signal to exit a roundabout was gonna jump to $500. That’s hard to believe though.

I can understand that. How about when the stall is occupied and you have to go? That happened today.

My coworker (back when I was in the office and not WFH) had the really annoying habit of taking her ceramic coffee cup and hitting a metal spoon on the edge of it when mixing her coffee at her desk.

She would also blow her nose and then take the tissue and shove it back in her pocket or in her shirt.

If I'm being 2020-centric, its when people wear a mask, but don't cover their nose.

(Might as well not even have it on.)

My biggest pet peeve when it comes to my daughter is when I ask her to do something and I get ignored. Tonight I asked her to pick up the bathroom of her towel and dirty clothes along with the empty body wash and shampoo bottles and she started to do something else so I cleaned it up myself just she didn’t like how I did it. I chuckled everything on her bed, at 17 I expected her to help around the house and not use her disability to her advantage she didn’t like having to clean her bed off tonight so I said I asked you nicely for two days to do it now I guess you’ll have to do it

Oh you've trained her well. Why should she pick anything up, if she procrastinates long enough you will do it??

Do you know what burns my ass?

A flame waist high.

(Joke, laugh at it )

Diaper rash burns my ass, that’s why I try to avoid it.

This morning I didn’t wake her up or make her any breakfast I made her do it herself. She asked for French toast and I told her I don’t feel like it they taught you how to make oatmeal go make it yourself. I then took my sweet ass time getting changed and dressed left the house on time this morning at 0700. She asked me if I was mad at her I said no just disappointed and walked out the door

 

[KittyMerriweather]

If you wanted to use that as a teachable moment, it would have been more helpful if when she asked you if you were angry you said something like "I'm still frustrated about having to clean up after you yesterday" otherwise its just random and confusing passive-aggressive behavior.

(saying this as someone with autism)

When I ask someone what they are feeling its because I don't know - or don't know WHY. Eventually, I get enough frustration and just stop asking.

Thats good advice. Even people not living with Autism can't read minds. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Come right out and say .. it pisses me off that you live in this house yet don't contribute to it by doing chores. Put up a list, say this is what I want. Do this. Add a timeframe and add a consequence. Example: I want these dishes done every day, or I am not providing the wifi password, or paying for your cell phone, or driving you to the mall. (Which ever consequence would have the most impact).
The rest is up to them. They decide, their fate. Parent just follows through.

We could be here all week.....
- rude people
- people who read numbers that should be read single as double digits.... like when you read a credit card and you read it forty-three fifty-four instead of four three five four.... the first way makes it really hard to turn what i hear into the keys to type in on the computer.
- people who pass you just to get stopped by the same traffic light
- inconsiderate people
- people who think they are better than somebody else just because they have money
- people who can’t put on proper clothes to leave the house..... PJ’s at walmart
- people who treat waitstaff like dirt and don’t tip
- people who demean others at their job... (i work in a customer service call center - we are human and doing a job as we are told to do it, don’t get mad that you don’t like the answer)

 

[PamperedMarsupial]

People who pay with coins only.. Happened today, there was a huge line waiting on this person to finish paying <_<;
