Stupid Pet Peeves

[Gameface]

People who stand in the middle of the aisle in a store. Move the hell over!

This.

When I was in the Navy and shopped at the commissary military spouses were the absolute worst about this. I'm generally pretty mild mannered but after a while my policy was to say "excuse me" once, then twice, then shove past them. Nick the bitches with my cart if I had to.

People who constantly let their glasses slip half way down their nose and leave them there. My niece does this and I want to reach over and push them up for her.

I think I have an endless list of husband & glasses related peeves.

1- worse than glasses slipping down his nose, he'll wear them pushed up on his forehead, just above his eyebrows. I have no idea how he gets them to stay there.

2- if he takes them off and puts them down somewhere, he can never find them. He has about 5 pairs of glasses and just gets another pair. Eventually all 5 are misplaced and then we have to look for them. I'll inevitably find a couple of them under a pile of newspapers on the table by his favorite reading chair.

3- you know how people will take off their glasses and stick one end of the frame into the collar or neck of their shirt so the lens part hangs down in front? He does that, except he puts the lenses inside his shirt and let's the frame part hang out. It looks really goofy and drives our kids nuts.

You get what you pay for.

That applies to nachos and hookers.


Here's a true PET peeve: people who drive around with their dog hanging out the car window. Just saw someone cruising down a main thoroughfare going about 35 mph and the entire upper body of their dog was hanging out the window with its front paws on the door frame.

When people call McDonald's "comfort food".

When people say what's up? But don't care for the answer, just say hello like a normal person.

When people assume all girls are bad drivers.

If I clean the while house Sunday, make dinner everynight during the week when we both get home at the same time, it should not be too much to ask that i not be the only one to fold some clothes or put a plate in the darn dishwasher.

Also, I hate when my husband complains that he's tired becaus he has to work so hard because he does physical labor and I just work in an office... We go to work at the same time, get home around the same time, I do most of the kid work, then he goes to bed at nine and I stay up til 12 or so doing online classes and homework, so tell me one more time that you're tired. People who think mental work can't be just as exhausting as physical labor drive me crazy.

Fair enough

Forgot to mention beards. Makes me just want to chop your whole head off.

 

[franklin]

Since it's winter: People who constantly sniffle when they could easily walk to the effin restroom, keep tissue on hand, or use their sleeve.

 

[franklin]

Another driving one: People who do stupid **** and are so completely oblivious that they road rage at you for their own dumb *** mistake.

Wait a minute. Your husband is physically capable of doing physical labor and he doesn't shovel the snow? WTF?
I do physical labor and my wife doesn't even know where the snow shovel is. I can guarantee she doesn't know how to start the weed eater or lawn mower.
Plus, I do the dishes EVERY NIGHT.

Well, to be fair, he works for the postal service. Last time it super snowed was over the holidays and he was working a crap load of overtime and lucky to get one day off, and I imagine after hucking around packages (literally, they aren't gentle) all day, he didn't have much desire to come home and throw around snow...now though, hours are back to normal so it's just a ploy because he wants a snow blower. I have never mowed the lawn, one day I thought I'd do it to be nice, I used to do it as a teenager for my mom, but I couldn't start the stupid thing, so I can say he's good about doing that.
