Mine are...

People who are not on time big one for me because I am a punctual type of person.

Dogs in the neighborhood who bark incessantly

************************************************** ***************
*~* Linda,
What peeves me off...& makes me peeved are:

1...People who leave their animal(s) tied up to a wooden post ALMOST ALL DAY, everyday, all season long.

In the FRONT YARD where the whole neighborhood can see the poor lonely animal. There is limited room for him/her to walk.
Then, just recently....I see ANOTHER little "friend" tied up next to this animal.
Maybe this "friend" is supposed to be a play"mate" ? hint, hint
FRONT YARD breeding...perhaps ?
{ EVERYONE...this is my neighbor ! }

2...People who are judgemental, opinionated, critical & RUDE to others just for the intent to prove that they, themselves...are RIGHT !

Having opinions are fine...but, dissrespecting someone else with YOUR opinion...is RUDE !
Constructive criticisim is fine...if the person who is offering these words is offering to HELP to provide assistance. I like to say, "Don't CRITICISE...unless you're going to HELP !"

3...SMOKERS who fling their butts all over America & who blow the smoke around me. ( I am sorry...this annoys me)

4...PROFANITY !!

I will never understand who created the first CUSSY word....and WHY it still exists today ! There are so many other words that we could all use !

5...Parents who TALK DOWN TO THEIR CHILDREN !

Being a Home Daycare/Pre~School Provider for almost 18 years...I fell the need to protect all children from any negativity.

1. People who arrive before time at my place because I am always still frantically throwing multi objects into cupboards and drawers (where they disappear down a black hole never to be seen again), and desperately trying to get rid of Corgi fur/toys/water dribbles/grass/dirt which have all mysteriously re-appeared........

2. Telemarketers

Kat,
I have a funny story about hiding things b4 company comes... sorry I'm off track - hope it's not someones pet peeve LOL...
My mother-in-law used to live down the street from us, I had just had my 9 lb 10 oz son a week b4. I happen to see her coming down the street. I had a few leftover dishes and the dishwasher was full. Didnt want her to think I was a horrible housekeeper so I put the dishes in my oven! Problem solved...until she came in an anounced she had come to clean my oven because she knew I shouldn't do it! And with that she OPENED my oven door!!! We still laugh over that one!

My pet peeve are people who are always late
rude behavior
people who ride others bumpers

corgi who when called (Emma) looks at you then turn the
other way and waltz off under the bed

*~* peeves me off & makes me peeved.

6...People who LAUGH SO LOUD during a movie at the movie theatre ! And keep on laughing VERY LOUD during the whole thing.
{ >>>SHEESH<<<...people it's funny but, come on ! }

7...COPS who hide out in every knook on every side street on the way to my children's school. THEN, when they pull someone over....it makes a huge line of cars...and we all get PEEVED ! For real..

** I am really easy going...these are just 7 things TOTAL (so far) that kinda get my goat.
"BAAAAAAAAAA"...

You guys are way too funny.

I have had the lint brush out frantically trying to get the fur off the sofas before company came.

Love the dishes one, I can just see that now. Gotta love Mother in laws, they always seem to get us on something.

Nikki, you really thought this one out, I know I have more Pet peeves, just didn't put them all down

*~* Number 8...
8...People who CALL DURING DINNER ! We usually turn the ringer off now !
It is NOT just telemarketers that call us ! It is sometimes: neighbors, friends, family...or an occasional, "sorry, WRONG NUMBER !".

>>>SHEESH<<< I act like EVERYTHING annoys me !
sorry...everyone...just being HONEST !

sorry...

T-Gal's mother-in-law story was very funny and I hope her in-law cleaned the oven AFTER washing the dishes.
Nikki has too many peeves - but so have I.
Here's one. I hate it when people dig into butter. Thats my wife who has taught all my kids to do the same. Here is another - drawing curtains over windows when it is not necessary. That's my wife again. But this time the kids don't follow in her footsteps.

I don't like dogs barking incessently - but the main reason I don't is because I know they are unhappy and miserable.

The grocery store parking lot: People who do not return their carts to the cart area!!!!! OK, so this sounds totally anal but people who put groceries in their cars, then just leave the carts!!!! Especially when the cart return spot is 2 spaces away!!!! Ughhhhhh! I was on the receiving end one time when another car pulled in ramming a stray cart into my car. $250 and a new headlight later, my car was as Good as new but I will never be the same.
Rant over!

OK, and people who do not pick up after their dogs! carry Poop bags people!

[Shelly]

I'm only 5'2". My problem is when I arrive extra early at a movie, or graduation, pick a great spot with no one in front of me and someone tall comes and sits directly in front of me and blocks my vision (or better yet at my daughter's college graduation when a woman sat in front of me and then popped open an umbrella so she could have shade and not only blocked my view but nearly took my eye out). She also blocked the vision of many others behind me.

[darci]

Oh Gosh Shelly.... You didnt ask her to put it up so that you could see as well as she ?

[corgimom]

You are too nice Shelly, I would have asked her to politely take it down, and if she didn't, I probably would have got up and stood in front of her

[Chip's Mom]

Ok my turn! People who let their big dogs run loose and they come to my fenceline and Chip and Maybelle are barking frantically for them to go away. I get into the fiasco by shooing them away.

Opinionated people who are always right - no matter the cost to other people's feelings.

People who handle their animals none to gently to correct a behavior and expect you to do the same with your animal.

*~* I have the most "Pet Peeves". Do I win a prize ?

If you start a thread about what makes us happy....I'll have a huge, long list...for real.

Pet Peeves--you ask...I'll answer -->>truthfully.

OOOH! I have lots of pet peeves.

Babies crying in movie theatres, restaurants, etc.

Dogs pooing in my yard

People on cell phones out in public (If it's that important, go home and call them)

Parents who do not teach their children that behaviors have consequences

Alarm clocks going off every ten minutes in the morning (husband)

Dudley pooing and then parading it through the house

My neighbor across the street coming over every single time I open the front door

There are many more, but those are the big ones I can think of right now
