People that will only take half of a piece of cake, pie... etc.... Drives me up the wall! If you are going to eat it, take the whole piece! P.S. John D., do you like my colors? Wheres your crimson?

personally, just people IN GENERAL is one of my pete peeves. theyre all perverts or morons, and the only good apple in the group is me (okay, MAYBE a few of you are included). also, a FRIED COMPUTER THAT TURNS OFF AND RESTARTS AT COMPLETELY RANDOM INTERVALS ESP WHEN IM 3/4 THROUGH THE NORTH CRATER OF FF7!

1. Drive Thrus - mainly, it's so irritating when you go to a fast food drive-thru, get home, and the order is wrong! (then kick yourself for not checking the bag); and Bank Drive-Thrus, where you sit for 20 minutes waiting on one car which contains one idiot, who obviously must be doing some complicated intricate transaction of a lifetime
2. Drivers who forget to turn their Turn Signals off (you know, Around The World To The Left)
3. Drivers that you see wanting to pull out into traffic, and they are looking at you coming down the road. You are prepared for them, but they sit still, so you relax, and then of course the decide to pull out, making you slam on your brakes. Then you look in your Rear View Mirror and see that there are no vehicles behind you, the idiot could have just waited two seconds for you to go by and then pulled out at his leisure
4. Waiting in line for 10 minutes at the 7-11 because someone decides to buy and scratch lottery tickets over and over

LadyZ...

I liked your comment about people waiting to pull out in front of you. I've driven in a number of states and countries, and I saw that particular trait time after time, especially on the country roads, in Massachusetts, for some reason. Farmers seem to loooooove to do it, especially when there's a double yellow line, and you're already doing 65 mph.

LOL John D.! Alicat's pounced on you too, I see. You should see her peg me on my storyline! (Actually, I'm glad she does...and I'm getting to be a much better writer...I'm just glad she never catches me in a chat situation! Oh blue heavens...)

OK...it seems so strange to me that so many people have peeves with other people. My peeves are never with other people, but with things

including: computers that crash on you, Windows (in general and just about every other Microsuck product), cell phones (in general), cars that die on you when you least expect it but won't stinkin' die on you when you're in the REPAIR SHOP (grrrr), radio stations that play the same 5 stupid tunes over and over (and don't get me started on the lame commercials!), computer lag in multiplayer games (ARRRGH), toasters that burn your toast EVEN though you have it set on the proper setting, etc., etc...

We truly are prisoners of our own inventions!

One of my pet peeves is when people feel they must comment on absolutely everything. My boss does that. It does not matter what we say, she has to comment. For instance, I could say to her, "You're blue outfit is really nice and makes your blue eyes really stand out." Rather than just taking the compliment, she would then say, "Yes, the outfit does make my blue eyes stand out, and it matches my shoes."
If she can't add anything to your comment, she'll just reword it in such a way as to sound as if you are incorrect and she is pointing out something very important. Grrr!
I also hate it when people are bouncing their knees out of nervousness, and I either catch it out of the corner of my eye or the table or floor is bouncing because of it. Makes me nervous!

"Kickin' Dogs" Yeah you heard me right; "Kickin' Dogs"
Not that I would ever literally kick one but you know the type.
No taller than your knee, they keep the yard clean of cat truffles and then want to lick your hands, or if you sit down, God help you, your face.
They jump on you when you arrive and when you try to leave.
They'll try to hump your leg, your shoe, your arm...whatever they can wrap their nasty little selves around.
They get excited at the site of you and pee.
You never want to pet them but they insist to the point where you wish you could roll up a newspaper and thwap their stupid heads and their owners constantly giggle at them remarking on how cute they are and how much they love you.
These dogs are retarded. Put them in another room, a pen, or hell, just give them away but please, if you don't want me to think you as retarded as your damned dog, keep it the hell away from me! Someday I just might decide it is worth it to kick it...provided you aren't looking on smiling and all.

I forgot about people who allow their children to run around resteraunts! If you cannot control (or do not want to control) your children then either leave them at home with a nanny or do not go out! Why do we have smoking and non-smoking sections in resteraunts but don't have children and no-children sections? Why the hell should I have to eat my food with a f****** child running around my table screaming and yelling. Now, if I am seated anywhere near children I asked to be moved and if there is not another table, I leave!
