Facebook Friends Share Some of Their All Time Pet Peeves

Facebook Friends Share All Time Pet Peeves

pet peeve   noun

: something that annoys or bothers a person very much
Source: Merriam-Webster

There are some things in this life that I choose to ignore.
But some things just get me.

I find myself irritated, bothered, and, well, annoyed.

Now, it doesn’t have to be that way.  I’m a grown man
in charge of my own thoughts and emotions.

But, I guess the human side of all of us can get weak, and
frankly, let Pet Peeves distract, annoy, and perturb.

I’ve never had a Pet Peeve ruin my day.

But they are like seeds, or even tiny splinters that
get under your skin.

Here are some of my favorite All Time Pet Peeves.

Grammar – to, too, twothere, their
your, you’re
here, hear
lose, loose

• Women – exposed bra straps
• Men/boys – saggy pants or pants on the ground
• Ballcaps that don’t come off indoors, or for the
  Star Spangled Banner, or at church
• Bad breath
• People who come into church or a meeting late
• Red lights and trains…I know they are necessary, but I just
  hate to wait for them. LOL
• Hitting the snooze button at least twice each morning [that's my wife!]
  I like to get up right away.
• 7-11 in Moore having gas prices 11-15 cents higher
  than another 7-11 in South OKC
• When you give people advice and they don’t act on it.

 

Chuck Whetstone’s All Time Pet Peeves

I asked my friends on Facebook to chime in about their Pet Peeves.
Here is what they had to say:

Disrespectful children. I literally can not stand it.

Littering

People who think of themselves before they think of others…

People who don’t use turn signals.

Disrespectful children, parents who can’t or won’t control their children, people driving under the speed limit in the pass only lane, non-productive meetings (which I don’t have to deal with anymore).

Littering. It’s so disrespectful.

People who are perpetually late.

People asking for my pet peeves so that they can include them in their blog.

Not feeling up to going to church every Sunday!!!

People who use phrases not well thought out – like for instance – Failure is not an option. I see these being posted daily!

I have always said “liars” are my biggest pet peeve.

A failure to understand or provide customer service – usually telephone, internet, or cable/satellite companies (oh yeah, and restaurants).

People who use only part of a sentence of scripture, not understanding it’s context. Like “avoid the very appearance of evil” and “Wherever two or three are gathered.”

People who would rather remain ignorant of the truth than change their opinion, or political stance. And the second is like it, people who back their “party” or their “guy” even when the party or candidate are guilty of doing the same thing you complained that the opposition was doing last time.

When people spread lies about you.

People who are ignorant of American history but think they know it all because of a 9 week class when they were in high school or because the Supreme Court or their favorite news anchor said so.

People that say rockabilly, southern rock, blues, country & R&B are out of style. Like really? Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, B.B King, Charlie Pride, Bill Anderson & Ray Price still make music. Half of todays stars just sit on their money.

When people say “Calvary” instead of “cavalry”.

Taxes

People that judge you before they really get to know you.

People not using turn signals

Soup and cereal slurping….uggh! lol!

Well here in Texarkana at Walmart, no one puts their cart back.

People who dont mean what they say. People who are two face or have double standards. Plus people who think of themselves instead of others all the time

“Like” people who say “like” 10 times in one sentence. My response to them is ” do you mean ‘as if’ or lesser form of love!!!”

When the water faucet is too close to the back of the sink so that you end up touching the sink while washing your hands..super gross…also iPhone updates that make your phone slower

“You know,” I have to agree with …, and add those people who use “you know” ten times you know in a sentence you know.

Ignorant store clerks!!! cant tell u the times i’ve found pet outfits mixed in with the baby outfits. ignorant, I say. Ignorant!!!

I want to thank all my Facebook friends for helping with this blog.
Apparently, I hit a nerve.

A lot of people have strong opinions about things or least the things that bother them.
Maybe we can all learn from this.
