What is your worse pet peeve?
Mine is people who block the aisle in a store with their cart.

My God you are not kidding, I point this out to my wife all the time. 90% of the time it's women and they maneuver down the right side of the aisle and look to the left. Then when they see something they leave the cart and stretch to the other side creating a perfect blockade. Do they have dookey for brains? I would move their cart but I won't go near a purse.

Gave you a star and wish I could give 2 or 3 -- that is my pet peeve too. Although, in all fairness, I have done that without thinking. I'll be along the edge of the aisle, then see something across the aisle and go for it and realize that I am blocking the whole aisle. However, I try not to do that and always apologize to anyone who had to wait. I have noticed some people just seem dense or just don't give a darn.
One other one -- people who get in a fast checkout line (10 items or less) and have at least 20 items. There was a comedian who said he would ask those people "Are you an English major who can't count or a math major who can't read?" Ha Ha

I'm sorry. I can't decide which one is the worst, although I believe it's the first one.
Parents who don't raise their children. These kids are loud, rude & running wild in the streets until all hours of the night. They steal, do drugs, vandalize cars & if you approach the parents, they say, "Not my child!"
Old people at the supermarket. Blocking the aisle with the cart is only part of it. Let's start at the beginning. Driving in the parking lot as though it was the expressway. Backing out of a space without looking. Bumping their cart into the back of your ankles. Arguing over coupons. They're always wrong. It's for the wrong size or expired. Waiting until the entire order is wrung up before they reach for a wallet or purse. Counting out pennies or other small change while people are waiting. Stopping in the middle of the exit door to check their receipt.---The last time I posted this someone replied with 'wait until you get that old'. My uncle is in his 80's and is respectful of others & would never act like this.
People talking on their cell phones while driving. I was waiting at a red light behind an attractive girl in a sportscar on her cell. The light turned green. I gave my horn a light tap. She ignored me. I hit the horn a little harder. She looked in the rearview mirror, looked at the light & then it changed back to red.
People who can speak English, but speak another language if you walk up to them. That's just rude.
This one isn't a pet peeve, but it's something I can't ever help- people who abuse children, pets or anyone weaker than them. Another subject for another time.

I give these people a special gift when they arent looking. I always covertly drop something extra that they didnt pick into their grocery cart as I pass by. My favorites are hemmorhoid cream and douche but I've also been known to add roach motels and condoms. Its great to see the look on their faces when they check out and find my spcecial gift. Another great thing is to wait until they turn their back and then move their full cart to another aisle. Its just my way of coping with stupid rude people and having fun while I shop.

I try not to cultivate peeves to the point that they become pets. My dog serves me well as a pet. Peeves, harbored until they become pets,only serve to embitter me and drag me down. There are things that irritate the dickens out of me but avoiding them and ignoring them insures the fact that my day is going to be stupendous. Now, if you want to talk about what puts a bur under my saddle, every time, that is a different thing. People who look down their noses at other people to bolster their own ego really irritates the hell out of me.

'janet a' has a very good point about the people in the 10 item grocery lines. They remind me of the people on this senior site that think they are an exception to the rules. Which too dumb category do they fall into?

My all time biggest pet peeve are people who spit "luggies" everywhere they go. I get this twitch in my eye that is probably the beginning of a stroke. lol
One day I actually saw a student hawk a luggy and spit in the corridor outside my office. I tore out of the office, stopped him and marched him to the restroom to get a paper towel. I grabbed my sanitizer and made him clean up his gift as class was changing.

I even have alot. whilst human beings check out their tissue after blowing their nostril, like I understand you have a gaggle of **** up your nostril and would desire to get it out yet would desire to you stare it down? So gross. whilst human beings create unnesscary drama, there's a reason I carry close out with men and not females. no longer reason i'm a unusual tomboy, as a results of fact men know a thank you to maintain it relax. whilst instructors think of that they have got comprehensive administration over you, like holyshit you're there to teach me no longer strengthen me, 2 countless issues. Like if instructors did no longer have that capability, i won't even count quantity each and all of the hours i could get decrease back from detentions I under no circumstances could've gotten, and beleive me i are transforming into ALOT. whilst human beings bite with their mouth open, ew I merely hate it, i do no longer know why it merely bothers me. however the main important one is burping, that is not merely that i think of that is gross,yet I merely HATE the sound.Idk why, the sound is merely so eww. And my maximum eldritch one is in all probability whne human beings touch my socks. I hate it. lmao, that is a exceedingly weird and wonderful one, yet yeahh.
