Did your order look something like this? I'll have the #12 please. But instead of fries, can I have the salad? And can I get the salad with no carrots? And instead of the pickles and onions on the sandwich, can I get kale and bacon? And don't use the regular bun, use the sesame seed one. And can I have the meat medium rare? Also, no mayo, but can I get reduced fat ranch dressing instead? You don't have reduced fat? Okay, regular. Wait, instead of regular ranch, can I do the mayo after all? I have a pet peeve about people that do that. I hope that wasn't you!

People who don't know how to keep things moving at a lunch line (think Subway)........"Sir, what would you like?" (after that person has already been in line for a few minutes, plenty of time to think about it) "Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....how about a meatball sub?"
"What kind of bread?" "What kind do you have?" (it's on the board dummy) "6 inch or footlong?" "What's the difference in price?" (again, look at the board) "What kind of vegetables would you like on your sandwich?"
Interminable pause.......followed by the sound of me and others walking out.

The fact that we as a nation cannot partake in active and open debate without resorting to name calling, people claiming they are offended, and threads being removed.

Had this happen the other day:
It's bad enough getting behind someone in line at the store who writes a check, but they don't use the time they are waiting to start filling out the check. "Oh, that's $67.38? OK." [pulls out checkbook and begins writing]

Nope....I'm pretty easy to please. Stating an opinion as a fact?? I would direct your attention the previous posts in this thread, as clear evidence that you are in fact not easy to please! But hey, we like you anyway!

Um, how about, like, um, people who HAVE pet peeves? Just kidding, I have them too:
Neighbors who go on a 2-week vacation and leave a dog in small pen in the back yard, and then the dog puts on his nightly barking show from 9pm to 5am, only stopping once their rooster begins to crow
People who ignore emails (I don’t mean for an hour or a day, I mean no response at all, ever)
When you get to go home an hour early and nearby folks in other depts. give you the “that’s unfair” stink eye
“Push 1 for English” – but we really mean “Push 1 so that our mandatory 30-second advertisement for a service you’ll never use can play in English before we give you an opportunity to use the rest of the menu.”
Trying to do a search of BankersOnline without resorting to Google (please don’t tell me how to do it correctly – that’s another one of my pet peeves)
When you think you know your wife is going to always take exactly 60 minutes to get dressed and ready to go so you sit down to a nice game of computer chess and then she’s ready in 5 minutes and you’re still in your jammies
Sequels to movies that weren’t that good in the first place (and Transformer sequels that are nearly 3 hours long)
That person at the movies who has a serious, chronic, nicotine-related cough triggered by laughing, but chooses to see a comedy anyway
When people leave the bathroom door open, so you can hear the toilet running, etc.
When a presenter gives you a 10-minute explanatory introduction before showing you a 30-minute video (just hit Play already!)
Local cops who think they are directing event traffic by stopping EVERY CAR to ask “Are you going into the parking lot?” (Look at my blinker! Is it on? No? Could you maybe, I don’t know, have interpreted that as a desire to go straight without stopping?)
When people put their filthy shoes up on my desk (or sit on my desk)
When it takes somebody 3 weeks to do something that you know only takes 3 minutes

How about people who use their windshield washer while their driving on the freeway so that it sprays all of the cars next to and behind that person.
Gee thanks - MY windshield was FINE until it got all spotty and streaky from your stupid spray.
Oopsie! My bad. I do this when someone is tailgating (sp) me

I hate it when my driver breaks and causing my golf ball to start slicing on my tea shots halfway through my round. People who almost kill you with a golf ball and neglect to yell "FORE!"

I hate it when my driver breaks and causing my golf ball to start slicing on my tea shots halfway through my round. I hate when people blame the equipment for poor performance. (Everyone knows it's the wind/rain/sun/humidity/that old nagging injury/stupid squirrel scurried up that tree during my backswing/all these dang bees/flies/gnats...)

I have a lot of pet peeves, here are a few:
1. Smacking sounds while eating. 2. Blowing your nose in front of me - gross! 3. Toilet paper roll - has to be outward. 4. My husband pronouncing the work syrup as surp! (He actually has a lot of mispronunciations - but this one is really annoying.)
