Default Pet Peeves

Here are a few of my pet peeves!

RUDE people who talk on the cell phone while going through the grocery line, ordering lunch at a counter, and give no simple courtesy to the person helping/waiting on them.

Also:

Companies who send invoices which ARE in envelopes with windows and feel the need to add a staple to the $$##@@ envelope.

People who drive with fog lights illuminated when there is no need (aka anytime)

Cell phones definitely. I keep use of mine to a minimum in public.

People who pull out in front of me doing 10 mph and then turn off 100 yards down the road.

People who don't use their turn signal, especially when it would have let me or someone else take advantage of the fact they are turning.

I have a number about children but I don't want to start a riot

1) Door dings/parking lot scrapes. Not so much the ding itself, but the concept that the majority of people won't do the right thing if they think they can get away with it. It's such a simple thing, but it irritates me to no end when I realize that so many people won't take responsibility when nobody else is looking.

2) Cigarrette butts out the window. It may be small, but it's still littering, not to mention that someone may be behind you. I've picked 3 cigarrette butts out of my Audi grille in the past 5 yrs.

3) People who think the rules don't apply to them, perhaps because they're special or something. Examples: People who invent their own parking space at the end of a row, people who take up 2 parking spaces because their car is somehow more special, etc.

Try getting one caught on you while on a motorcycle and still burning -

People who use the word "pet" to describe more than one peeve when the "pet" peeve is the one at the "top" of the list.

Well, then don't complain when I reciprocate by hocking a big loogie out the window onto your windshield.... at least mine's biodegradeable!
