Pet Peaves
Ask a Question
Just out of curiosity does anyone on here have any pet peaves and if so what are they?
Nadiaparveen but the toilet seat needs to be up so I can pee or it’d be all over the floor
Senior citizens dawdling around the supermarket and getting in the way at weekends when they’ve had all week to go shopping
Thanks! I am late 60s and still work all week so have no choice unless I have shopped online. And yes, I do dawdle round, looking for best buys, freshest produce, referring to my list.
Actually my pet peeve is men shopping as they rush in and out, then back home you find loads of stuff you didn't want and hardly any of the stuff you did want!
It is bad enough being old without forever being told what nuisances we are and how rude according to others on here.
I am still contributing taxes, not rude and valued by my family, one day you will be old too.
PS See the poem on Are you Ageist?
And when two of them together side by side are taking up the whole width of the pavement, are in front of you and walking really slowly. I understand that they can't help walking slowly, but is there really any need to take up the whole width of the pavement?
RegularComper90 i hate when this happens, especially when they dont indicate you walk over the road and they decide to just turn into the street and nearly run you over.
Also annoying when they indicate too early so it looks like they turning down different roads
When people call West Highland White terriers (Westies) Scotty dogs - completely separate breeds.
When you’re walking and the person thats in front stops right In front of you oblivious to their surrounding or the other way round that people are too close walking behind you
summa68 i think its even worse when they know you are behind them and they do it on purpose.
When people stand smack bang in the middle of the supermarket ailse chopsing without a care in the world and leave no room to get past them.
Or when people walk slowly down the middle of the aisle looking at both sides making no room to get past and then look at you like **** when you ask to get passed.
4x4 prams on public transport the ones where the wheels look like they belong on monster truck.
The baby ass ain't gonna know the difference between standard £100 pram and a 4x4 pram that cost £100's and they take up so much room and block the way most time.
Getsome this really annoyed me when i was working in retail. My former colleague would spend ages taking to the same customer and que would build shed ring for me to come to the till and by the time she had finished talking id served rest of the que for her. I once snapped at her and said we have a huge delivery to get through so either you hurry on tills or ill stay on tills and you can through that huge delivery instead she was quick to speed up then
When you’re looking at something in a shop and someone comes and stands right behind you because they want to look at what you're looking at.
eyeballkerry this really annoys me this. This one time I didn't know he was waiting for me to move so he could have a look, i rang me other half to say some random stranger was stood behind me lurking and i wasn't quiet about it either. He was quick to walk away after giving me the dirtiest look and sending his wife to tell me he was waiting for me to move. I responded by saying well instead of staring me down making me feel uncomfortable why didnt he just ask me to move or say excuse me.
Omg!!!! Yes I hate this. And why do baby clothes have pockets? What is a newborn going to do with that little pocket lll
People who stop their car in the middle of the road to have a conversation sometimes with someone going other direction stopping traffic completely
People on their mobile phones whilst walking. It does my swede right in.
Every single youngster that passes the house is fiddling with their phone even if they're in groups and talking amongst themselves.
Even worse is people on their phones while driving. Now that really gets on my pip.
Kids standing outside my fence swearing their heads off when my son is in the garden! Tell your mate to hurry up without using the f word!
Trouble is , you can't tell them or you will probably get more of the same aimed at you, or worse, irate parents thumping on your door telling you 'how dare you tell my kids off!'
The "F" word seems to be a part of the normal English language now unfortunately. At one time it was a word only used for special circumstances such as when one was under a lot of stress.
RegularComper90 it definitely is. Today I heard, if you don't hurry the f up I'm going to stab you, said by a 10 year old! I would be mortified if that was my son!
People wearing their masks on their chins and necks, but not over their mouths and noses like they are supposed to. I have been seeing this quite frequently and it irritates me. What is the point in wearing a mask if you aren't even going to wear it properly?!
