personal pet peeves

I was reminded of a couple more today.

People who use things that are not trash cans for their trash. My wheelbarrow is not for you to put your trash in, nor is my ashtray, nor is my counter. I have a bunch of trash cans for a reason.
Just because a trash can has a flat top, that does not make it a place to set things.
 
unprotected carts in the middle of store are fair game

people who stop and wait while waiting for the spot next to the entrance, which ties up the whole lane

people on city streets sitting in the middle of the inboard lane waiting to move left into the back of the turn lane,which ties ups the lane behind them and may end up in somebody smacking into them from behind going 30 miles per hour (Tyler, Texas is the very worst for this)

psycho people who will take their psycho drugs

people who drive 10-30 mph below the speed limit (Marble Falls, Texas)

This one stuck out the most to me, where the hell do you live where that happens?!?!?! Ive never experienced that, seen it or heard of it? has anybody else here? does this happen alot in other places?

It happens quite frequently to me at walmart, sometimes while the cart is half full and I walk to another isle then back and see the cart gone and the stuff I had in it either on the floor or randomly stuffed on the shelves near where the cart was.

You should hear me yelling afterwards, and the whole walmart can hear me screaming that we need to start nuclear war with russia because huminaty is screwed when people can not figure out shopping carts are at the entrance.
 
People that steal my Nobel Peace Prize.

Neighbors that throw eggs at my life-sized, Trump yard statue.

Stores that don't carry shirts large enough for my upper body.

Women trying to get me to cheat on my wife - I told you, NO, Margot Robbie!

Dogs. They know something, I know it but they're sneaky and they never tell you!

God god!!!
Yeah Im a very calm and collective person, rarely ever upset. That would definitely agitate me at least the half buggy thing would get to me. Wow . . i hope stuff like that never happens around my area and I hop it stops in yours . . . jeez.
 
Here's a real one: You put a lot of thought into a DP post and hit the "post" button but you've taken too long, DP has logged you off and your whole post is gone. Every time this has happened to me I've been too lazy to repeat the post. You guys have lost out on a lot of my wisdom due to DP logging me off, I tell ya!

Target?

I only go to target if it is around the 1st and 15th because my ptsd can not stand crowded places and being near a military base everywhere is flooded but target.

Oh and I get tired of bored workers there doing surprise jumps around the corner asking if I need something, seriously the target here has more employees than customers sometimes.

The Target near me is never really busy. I will pay a little more to go there, deal with wide aisles, cleanliness, and fewer fat people in leotards.

Ok so now I have a peeve (it ain't a pet but ever since I fed it, it don't wanna leave)

Bitchy never satisfied guests (Target has guests not customers). Whine when there is no one there to help them find their cheap Chinese crap, whine about how it's cheaper some blah blah blah place, and think because a team member takes a few seconds out of a VERY busy work shift to try and make crappy guests feel a bit better the 'poor' guest feels 'jumped'...

Now many 'guests' are so clueless about retail but always are quite willing to comment on what they know NO THING about. ANY business can have more worker bees than guests at certain times, I kinda figured anyone with PTSD would appreciate that, but some are never happy unless they can whine.

If you don't like being jumped by 'bored' workers, shop at Dollar General. If you don't like crowds (why in THE HAIL would you go on paydays????) shop at oh dark 30 when your PTSD is more comfortable...

Adapt and overcome was what we grunts said about dealing with the culture shock of 'coming home'... whine and complain was for REMFs...

Oh I feel soooooo much better, guest feeding and caring for a peeve isn't so bad.... :peace

Or in my case, causes of ptsd rage. Just a rant thread, what ticks you off.

For me it is

people who steal your cart in the store, seriously you went halfway through the store before you knew you needed a cart and had to steal someone elses.

People who circle a parking lot to get that spot right next to the extrance, because walking will kill you or something, if handicapped people walk farther than you do, you fall in this category

People who claim ptsd does not exist, I have seen even army soldiers claim it does not exist, I can give very gruesome examples of why it exists, but rather I will simplify it as war is hell, and the things done there are hell, many soldiers have nightmares about their entire life, so I hate it when people claim it is not a thing.

People who drive 10-30 mph below the speed limit, where I live this is a daily thing, where they block both lanes well below the speed limit. The city can solve it's financial woes by implementing a minimum speed limit and ticketing people who do not meet it in the fast lane, but they won't.

People who ignore signs. I deal with this every day at work, we have signs saying not a parking area and employees only, yet with an empty parking area they ignore all signs and park infront of bays blocking everyones work like half the city is illterate or just mentally retarded. seriously you could not tell the area with lines drawn for parking spaces was the parking lot?


tell me your rants!!!

People who always. always. talk. about. themselves.

Me : "So yeah I went to California and..."
Him : "Yeah me too Los Angeles is so cool, I've been to Hermosa Beach it was great"
Me : "I WAS TRYING TO SAY SOMETHING THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU"

:shoot :soap

sorry, but since my dog cannot read your objection he will continue to use your lawn as a toilet. to him, it smells like a toilet
the best you can hope for is that the dog owner is responsible and will pick up his dog's crap and cart it away in a bag

making unreasonable expectations my pet peeve
 
I don't have many pet peeves. Most of my pet peeves starved to death because I forgot to feed them.. shame on me.

However, I am peeved at the only reason certain people are famous is that they are famous for being famous. Reality TV sucks.

Re: Pet Peeves

These random click-bait articles on Facebook are getting really annoying. Titles like "She thought she was just having a nice meal with her husband, but what happened next made her sob!" ... and the real story is that her parents were there to surprise her. Whoop-dee-do. Or the click-bait where it says something dramatic about celebrities with picture of a certain celebrity, but the article doesn't have one thing to do with the person in the picture.
