Thread: Pet Peeves?

People sometimes assume I know who they are talking about....GRRRRR!

We're usually talking about you



My list of pet peeves had been covered in this thread a couple times. So I'll just wave a hand and check the mail

Okay, I'll add one I haven't seen yet that doesn't cover traffic or cell-phones. Can we just take all people who eat with their mouth open (or smack their gum-I'm looking at you, teenage girls!) and give them their own island or something?

I sit at lunch and break across the table from a coworker who does this.

I have gotten up and left. Because of that but also some 10 to 12 year old humor that 50 year old men haven't outgrown....

I'm guilty as charged on the juvenile humor front, but I always consider my audience. In fact, in the last two years a very elegant and wonderful woman joined our lunch bunch (early 50's English teacher types). We all became great friends, and in fact socialize outside of work. But she is married to one of our city's most prominent pastors, and is very much a "good girl" in the best sense of the phrase. I save the disgusting jokes for my fishing buddies.

When I was building my company and spending about 1,000 miles a week on the highways of America, it was definitely drivers that liked to curise in the left hand lane 5 mph under the speed limit. These drivers often drove abreast of trucks or other traffic in the right lane for miles and miles and miles and miles, holding up traffic like it was their civic duty to do so. Especially in dual speed limit states where the truck speed was 55 and the car speed was 65 of 70. You could guarantee someone would get out in that left lane and do 55 mph alongside a truck for about 20 miles or more just o hose up traffic.

Another travel related one, people that sit next to you on commercial airlines and just won't shut up for a nano second. I was on a flight from Houston to Honolulu last year and a lady next to me exercised her jaw the entire flight. 3,900 miles of motor-mouthing. How can anyone possibly talk for 8 hours and 20 minutes without taking a breath? She managed it.

ya the motor mouth on a plane where you cant get away from them is a good one, in my defense though I,m not that polite of a guy that I wont turn and look them in the eye and say" shut the F*^$ up or ill, use the seat belt to strangle you" there are some times when being me is good Tc

People that STILL call themselves "Italian Stallion" OMG get a freaking life, that is soooooooo Cliche it makes me want to use my Mom's maiden name instead of my Italian surname
