Patently petty pet peeves

Published on October 29, 2006 By Moderateman In Misc

Sometimes I wonder exactly how well developed I am. There are just some very minor things that annoy the heck out of me.

Asking to borrow something, be it money or a paperbag... what's up with most everyone asking, "what do you need it for?" I reply with either lend it to me or not, do not sit in judgement if I truly need something, if I am asking, I need it!!

Toothpaste caps left OFF the tube. For gods sake woman put the cap back on, that's what it is there for!!

People that do not wash their glasses or plates, you know the ones, they slobber all over the glass, then rinse it out with cold water and put it in the clean glass area.

This is all I am going to write about, but believe me there are many more. I wanted to leave space for others to get their "PATENTLY PETTY PET PEEVES" OFF their chests.

men who wear too much cologne - actually men who wear any cologne - smell like a natural man

the backhanded compliment - if you're going to be a bitch, just go ahead and say it

Question of the Day

Here are mine:

1. A certain man in my life whose feng shui (his term not mine) is messed up when the dish plates aren't stacked in the proper order.

2. The same man who must have the silverware placed handle down (unless it's a knife)in the dishwasher.

3. The same man who must have the silverware placed in the drawer with all the handles neatly stacked.

4. The same man who must use a new glass for ever drink even if it's only been 5 minutes since he finished using it.

oh, and.. jennifer1 VERY PETTY!

My patently petty pet peeve is when you use the end of the toilet paper and get out a new one. Only you don't take the old one off the holder and the new one just kind of sits on the sink.

Would you care to swap for my resident woman -- one that never wipes up the water droplets all over the sink area after doing anything there?Same thing after she steps out of the shower and drips all over the floor.Why she can't seem to figure out that she could stand in the shower stall for just a little longer wiping dry or dripping off without making the big wet mess on the floor escapes me, and apparently escapes her too.

You're not alone Terp, my hubby is the culprit on this one! Drives me totally insane!

And

People who think they know everything!

And especially

Those who won't let sleeping dogs lay! Rehashing pftttttt!

people who read the newspaper and then don't fold it back right in its original condition. These scoundrels should be shot at dawn.

And people who post a little one sentence blog that links to some un-funny bullshit and thus bumps down my well thought out but-at-least-its-original un-funny bullshit. These scoundrels should have their entrails removed and burned while they watch with dying, agonizing eyes.

Other than that, hey I'm cool with just about anything...

Yeah, they're very annoying to those of us who do.

I'm just amused that this comment earned the distinction of identifying that the culprit is of the female persuasion.

as a bachelor I threw a roommate out that refused to wipe the sink after shaving.. nasty And disgusting.

My pet peeves are:

People who have no idea how to behave as human beings and behave like bullies

Political correctness!! people that practice that should be beaten and tared and feathered.

I agree, Kelly!

Mine isn't a pet peeve so much is just a weird hang up I have. I can't stand to drink out of plastic cups. I don't mean disposable ones, those are fine. Regular plastic cups.

Yuck. They just seem unclean.

I also hate it when my boys leave pee droplets on the toilet seat and I don't think to check and then sit down. That has to be one of the grossest things ever.

Littering also pisses me off greatly, as do people (in vehicles) who breeze through crosswalks (I will actually stop someone and bitch at them about that).

I am the same way. I hate plastic cups and refuse to use them.

You know what's the worst is when you are standing in the pouring rain, holding a baby and they still won't let you cross. This happened to me when I went to my husband's bootcamp graduation in Great Lakes, IL and I still remember it. What is wrong with people?
