OT: What’s your pet peeve?

[CMcG]

Brutus–Another bravo! Tears ran down my cheeks. That was great.

dharmagirl–I agree with you about women’s restrooms. Another like-minded gripe: Women who don’t observe the International Rules For Women’s Restroom Line Etiquette. I have found, while traveling in Europe, that women of a certain nationality will barge right past the line. I saw one incident where four women had to be pulled apart before fisticuffs ensued over such a breach.

fat_lazy–re: “Big” people in coach seats. I had to do some research about NAAFA (National Association for the Acceptance of Fat Americans, I think). On their site, they advise members to pull up the armrest and say to their seatmate: “I’m sure we’ll both be more comfortable this way.” My answer if this happens to me will be “I WON’T be more comfortable.” And back down it goes (if possible).

My pet peeve?

Rude people in restaurants…

My local watering hole is a seat yourself kind of place. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve left a full beer at the bar or a bar table with a newspaper or book sitting right next to it to go to the restroom only to come back and find a couple of knuckleheads sitting on my stool in front of my beer.

And then they have the nerve to argue with me about the fact that I was sitting there….

My pet peeves are: 1)Men who turn into complete idiots around beautiful women. Even if the women are lazy, mean, selfish or foolish. And 2)Beautiful women who seem to feel entitled to have all men to turn into idiots around them.

You know there is so much unexplored terrain here…

No one has even mentioned what I call the “Stroller Mafia.”

Have you ever been to an event with lots of people, where parents seem to think that being a stroller pilot gives them a pass to the front of the line? Or barge in front of you?

last summer, a woman rolled right over my sandal-clad foot with her stroller. Didnt even apologize…just kept on going. And there is no way she could not have known.

To be fair, I’ve been in lines where parents had small children who were clearly upset/cranky/tired, etc. And I have gladly let them cut in front of me.

When I was at Stater Bros yesterday, a totally clueless woman almost ran me with down with her grocery cart in the produce aisle. I thought, “ahhhh…you MUST own a stroller!”

The common “thread” that I see running through many of these peeves is an utter disregard for other people’s personal space and time.

Don’t you all think that many people today are in a complete BUBBLE – trying to 9 things at once, cell phones surgically attached to ears, being distracted, not paying attention – and worse – not giving a damn.

I realize that every generation has had these complaints, but I think our society has hit an all-time low in terms of courtesy and consideration.
