What are your Pet Peeves?

wanna tissue??

wanna tissue??

They're kind of a cross between the dungaree uniform and the uniforms of the 70s. And now they're going to some sort of blue camo. Blue Camo?!?!?!?  Seriously?? What are they camouflaging themselves from?? The ocean ?!?!?!? I wonder what the "floatability" of the new camo uniforms is??

Supposedly it is to extend the life of the uniform because the paint splatter doesn't show as much. I got out right before I would have been forced to buy them.

My issue lately is with some military wives. First you don't have rank, your husband does. Second just because I have only been a mil wife for less than two years does not mean I know nothing about the military. The next one that wants to comment on the fact that I have been a mil wife for less time than you I am going to slap you with my DD214.

Here's a pet peeve that drives me up a wall:

Politicians who put on a fake southern accent to sound all down-homey and trustworthy.  I can't STAND Obama's version. 

[Wineslob]

Kanye West......................and his toofusususs

My # 1 pet peeve of all time is something that doesn't work 100% correctly. I'll spend hours & hours finding the solution, if need be.

O'Reilly's exaggerated "working class" accent/consonant sounds ("d" instead of "t"; "not sittin' well with da folks."---please)

Putting a dirty dish in the sink instead of cleaning it when I've just gotten finished cleaning the kitchen.

Watching TV with a man who has a remote control in his hand. I swear last weekend my husband was sitting there switching between the Green Channel and the Military Channel...and I'm the one who's bipolar.

People who don't know the difference between to, two, and too or their, there, and they're.

People who get impatient with old people walking across the street or parking lot (I always think it could be my sweet 92 year old Nana who's fiercely independent but needs a walker to get around) and really is it that big a deal to wait a little bit longer?

People who treat their chihuahuas like their children (my dad and the wicked witch of the west coast he's married to actually feed their dogs out of their mouths, YUCK!)...with the exception of the above mentioned Nana who's little Sammy is the light of her life and gives her a companion since she lives alone.

Hairballs because they're always spewed on furniture, clothes, or somewhere else inconvenient instead of linoleum where a paper towel and a wipe with my Swiffer Wet Jet would clean things quickly.

People who let their children interrupt when you're having a conversation with them...manners should be taught early. Well, unless someone broke their arm or something.

People with those stupid coexist bumper stickers...as if we're not all doing that anyway, really it's just a liberal status symbol.

Finding an egg in my clean laundry basket, thus realizing a chicken has managed to come in through the cat door and park her ass in my clean laundry necessitating the rewashing of the top few clothes.

   not funny you have to re-wash, but the visual ...

Now that is funny.

[Tnafbrat]

... switching between the Green Channel and the Military Channel...

Isn't that somehow an oxymoron?

I can't stand liberal sportswriters who think that they're also political commentators.  Mike Lupica of the NY Daily News is a prime example of this.  He started out by taking little potshots at Bush, Cheney, Limbaugh, Giuliani, and other Republicans in his "Shooting From The Lip" Sunday column.  Then, a couple of years ago, some genius at the Snooze decided to give him a Monday column.  So now we are "treated" to his thoughts on politics and current events every Monday.  It's pretty much the same column every week:  Bush destroyed the country, Cheney had 5 Vietnam deferments, Limbaugh is an idiot, Beck is an idiot, Obama is God.  He has a serious man-crush on Obama -- after the '08 election he even compared the guy to Jackie Robinson!  And, as you might expect, he HATES Sarah Palin.  Conservative women in general seem to grate on him.  In recent weeks he's slammed Governor Jan Brewer and Christine O'Donnell.  But Sarah is a real burr under his saddle.  Every time he mentions her name, I can almost hear his testicles retreating into his body.  His political thoughts are about as deep as a driveway puddle.  He must have some serious blackmail photos of the Snooze's publishers -- I can't think of any other reason for them giving him this column.

[Karin]

Don't read him!  Sounds bad for your health.

Cindie, that's pretty funny about finding an egg in the laundry.

Mike Lupica, ughhhh what a weasly dork.

He has the kind of face that needs to be seriously slapped

My ex bro in law and his wife were terribly bad about allowing their children to interrupt a conversation.

[littlelamb]

Children who have nothing to say to you all day until you are on the phone then they can't shut up. Or if you are on the phone with someone and they scream for their kids to shut up

[Rainbow Rising]

I agree 100%!  I have that same thought every time I see a picture of his smug, self-satisfied face.

My brother and SIL too with the first one.  I stopped visiting them because they would allow my niece to interrupt.     They realized the error of their ways, and changed their tune, but it was quite hellish the first few years.

Mind if I interrupt you?

[JohnnyReb]

I might butt in now but not when I was growing up. My daddys' hairy knuckles had built in radar, a ranger finder and heat seeking capabilities. Without missing a word or moving his head and eyes he could put those hairy knuckles across your face before you completed the first word.

I come from the old school, "Children should be seen and not heard."

That is how my brother and I were raised as well, so it was a shock to see my niece get away with that type of behavior.  And no, Godot.  You may not.  Go clean your room. 

[Odin's Hand]

Yeah, Lupica is an enormous douche. We Sooner fans a run-in with that idiot after we destroyed Texas A&M 77-0 in 2003. He said we "ran up the score" even though we pulled the starters out after the 1st half and he then admitted he didn't even watch the game and was, in essence, running his mouth about something he didn't even witness.

[Rainbow Rising]

Yep, that's classic Lupica. 

I must admit, though, I am very curious to see what his post-election column will be like.  I'm looking forward to enjoying his misery.
