(My poor attempt at explaining the below treadmill pet peeve via picture...that's me saying WTF...clearly I am an artist extrodinaire ha!!)
I don't understand why people feel the need to workout on the treadmill directly beside me when there are rows and rows of empty ones. Twice today this happened to me and I just don't get it. There I am all alone with an entire row of vacant treadmills in front of me and a woman jumps on the one right beside me....she eventually leaves and another woman jumps on the same one. I'd rather not work beside another sweaty stinky person if I can help it so why do these mofos choose to do so??? Shouldn't there be a rule like men have with urinals....leave one in between!
I loathe shoppers that walk out in front of my car with their groceries, carts and bags expecting me to just stop for them. Ummm last time I checked there wasn't a "stop for pedestrians" sign (I've seen them in the States at Tops and other such places....great I'll stop cause there's a sign) so why the hell are you walking out in front of my car while I'm driving?? I always wait for cars when I leave the grocery store/mall I don't just saunter out in front and then give dirty looks when they almost run me over. Don't get me wrong I'm not a complete asshole and will let people go ahead.....when I wave them to.....I just don't like when people expect it and walk out right in front of me.
I get really out of sorts when I have set a TV show to tape on my Tivo and it does as I've directed only the previous show has gone overtime (usually due to some live TV, sports etc) and my planned show is therefore cut short. It happened the other night and I was super pissed. I mean what happens if I tape the finale of the Bachelorette only to have the last 10 minutes cut short because the previous show ended 10 mins late. The world would crumble people....the world would crumble! I'm kidding of course, peanuts in the grand scheme of the goings on in the world but it still irks me nonetheless.
What's on your list??

- I hate when people park right next to the storefront underneath a NO PARKING / FIRE ROUTE sign.
- I hate people who circle in parking lots while there are empty spots in the back.
- I hate when people don't call me back.
- I hate when people misuse the word 'boo-urns.'
- And that delayed next show because something stupid ran long. You have no idea how much I hate that.
- I hate when somebody is looking for something, I'm helping them look for that something, they see me look in a certain place, then they immediately look in the place I've just looked in. It's like they don't believe that I looked there even though they just saw me look there.
I could go on and on, or maybe I will. I'm out of blogging ideas.
I like the treadmill drawing. It effectively illustrates the problem. Yah, the treadmill thing bugs me too. Yeesh. I hate when ppl do the equivalent on the subway/bus and sit beside me when there are seats elsewhere.
I also hate when ppl are on the bus and sit on the outside of two seats, and I can't get to the free seat without climbing over them. Let other people have a seat, jerks!
Oh and when people's bags get a seat and I have to stand. That makes me mad too.
Apparently most of my pet peeves are transit related. LOL
Oh and another pet peeve is when people lie. ;)
I would also be afraid of missing the last 10 mins of the Bachelorette. That would suck! However, I'm totally have a finale party with wine and pizza. So excited. And it makes me laugh how much Kiptyn makes you swoon. If he gets rejected, maybe you can track him down somehow. ;)
Oh, for wigsf - no one really uses boo-urns correctly that I've witnessed. Might as well accept it to keep your blood pressure at acceptable levels.
I totally like did a blog post in your comments, lol.
You are so funny! Hilarious.
I hate slow walkers that dominate the sidewalk and you can't get around them.
I hate couples that make out on the bus right across from you.
There was a guy at my gym that while running on the treadmill, he cleared his throat every two seconds - gross!
And I second Christielli's comment about hating liars - especially ones who seem to do it for no real reason. Those people suck.
I hate pedestrians in Chicago who do not obey the traffic signal. Most of them are talking on phone and cross the street even when the signal tells them to stop. They totally cause huge traffic delays during rush hour. Thats about it. I have no anger issues.
These are all good ones! I have another one. I was in the bank line and had been waiting a few minutes. A line next to the one I was in opened, so I turned to go into it, and some lady in an SUV squealed into the parking lot and whipped in there before I could. I know I was kind of in a lane, but I would have let the person waiting go next.
I get you on the treadmill thing completely. And same with Tivo. I started taping the program directly after the one I want sometimes when I see a live program before it just so I don't get burned - again as I got screwed in teh past with this one.
Pet peeves this morning: waiters who touch you a lot in hopes of a better tip, bathroom attendants, guys who stand around naked for no good reason in the locker room, and flavored water.
- Turn signals. They're not that difficult.
- People who wait till the last minute to change lanes before their lane ends.
- People who expect a response to a text message almost immediatley.
- People who don't wipe down the machines in the gym.
That is all.
Oh man, that's a whole 'nother post. I'll get on it!
Cxx
Clearly I had a very short list as most of the ones you have posted irk me as well....especially Jlee's bank line fiasco and Wiwilles people waiting till the last minute to change lanes....that drives me bonkers!!! I'm sure I will have more of these posts in the future!
Some people like to think they're on some race or marathon - probably why they ran next to you.
Pet peeve? People telling me that I look horrible and I should go home and stay in bed...even when I feel perfectly fine.
