Re: Just plain hate. October 20, 2012 |
Several of my hated pet peeves have already been mentioned, but here's my short list:
Things I Hate
1)When an ambulance is rushing by at 60 MPH on a four lane highway going South, obviously going STRAIGHT to the hospital exit which is CLEARLY marked on both sides. Then, everybody on the North bound side of the highway is going in the opposite direction, therefore having no chance of coming into contact anywhere near the ambulance unless he up and decided to jump the 20 foot median for no apparent reason, just stops or pull off on the side of the road. That, and when people hear a siren in the distance they just STOP in the middle of the road. The hill billies around here do that on a regular basis.
2)Double dippers. That is when they take a chip or cracker and dip it into a communal sauce, eat it, and dip the partially eaten chip BACK into the sauce with their slobber on it.
3)Any time anyone slurps, smacks, licks, sucks, or makes "ping 'noises with their eating utensils, or otherwise makes unnecessary noises while eating or drinking
4)Any time someone comes up behind me and jabs me in the ribs, gets right up in my ear and yelps out anything, or otherwise purposely startles me
5)Senior discount Wednesday day at Kroger when it coincides on or near the First of the month
6)When a loved one dies of a heart attack or cancer and someone's first response is, "Did he smoke?" OR someone is killed in a car accident and they ask, "Were they drinking?" or otherwise "at fault"
7) Habitually tardy people
8)When someone calls ME and then puts me on hold, or WORSE, I hang up when they do it and they call back and scold me, "I came right back and you were gone!" That goes double when they do it on my business phone. Worse than all that though is when I DO wait and they come BACK on the phone and ask, "who's calling"? or, "May I help you?". They will ALWAYS be met with a curt, "YOU called ME, what did YOU want and who are YOU?" Occasionally and especially if they are repeat offenders I will respond, "Yes you CAN help me! You can stop calling my business phone and tying it up by putting me on hold! Now, HOW can I help YOU?"
9)When someone calls me and then proceeds to carry on a conversation with someone else in the room or on another phone AND without warning
10)When someone asks me, "Did you see...." and it's relating to a reality TV show or some other show I don't watch and I say, "No I don't watch any such nonsense as that, never have!" AND then they go on to tell me all about it, discuss the merits of it, or otherwise try and force me to be interested in it when I have made it VERY CLEAR I am not and won't EVER be.
11)When at a family or other group gathering I comment how good something is and then the cook goes on and on and on and on about the ingredients, how it was prepared, where they got the recipe, etc.....Suddenly I am wishing I hadn't even tried it let alone said anything about it
12)Unsolicited advice, especially medical in nature. Do they not think I haven't explored all avenues for my OWN medical problem? I'd take off a doctor recommended neck brace or other similar device for an hour or two before I'd bring on unsolicited medical advice in a group setting I loathe it so much. I have an aunt who will put her oxygen tank and mask in a bag in order to avoid these medical advisers they are SO AWFUL in our extended famblee and she is a nurse and her husband a doctor.
13)When people try to "sneak" certain foods in on me when I have made it known I don't eat them, for whatever reason. The worst offenders are the deer meat eaters. They like to see if they can trick you into complimenting a Venison dish and then go on to tell you how, "If it's cooked right, you won't know the difference!". Well, if human flesh was cooked right, I probably won't know that either, but I STILL don't want to knowingly eat it! They seem to think if you can't taste it, then that equals you LIKE it, even if it's a food you DO like but don't eat because it upsets your stomach like beans, onions, peppers, etc......
14)I can NOT tolerate it when people pick at my clothes, like to pluck off a cat hair or point out a small hole with their fingers. It makes me feel like a fucking monkey at the zoo.
15)I'd rather people not say ANYTHING AT ALL than to say, "If there's ANYTHING I can do, just let me know". If they REALLY wanted to help a recent widow, for instance, then they'd just DO it. They'd come over and cut her grass, drop off a bag of groceries, or otherwise just DO something. People think when they say that it absolves them from doing anything. Do they REALLY expect the widow to call them and take them up on their offer? No, they don't, which is why I loathe that worthless expression so much! Stop pretending you care AND WANT TO HELP if you don't and have no intent on doing anything.
16)When someone dies and people say, "They're better off" or, "It was for the best". Perhaps that's true, but they are speaking to a surviving mourner who is in no position to appreciate their vast wisdom at the moment. I really wish people could just learn to say, "I am sorry" and then drop off their casserole and STFU. They could also FOREVER leave off, "I am sorry for your loss" and I'd be a happier person.
17)People who hold up the line at convenience stores scratching off Lotto tickets and purchasing more each time they "win" a free ticket need to burn in hell
18)I despise tailgaters and the only ones I hate more are the ones who do it at night with their bright lights on when you're on a long and winding country road and there's NO escape
19)I detest people who blow their car horns to get another driver's attention in order to wave at them or bellow out across traffic, "HEY!"
20)I hate it when people eat everything on their plates at a restaurant except the fucking marrow in the rib bones, tell the waiter everything is wonderful, and then complain at the register in order to get a meal discount
21)I loathe "pretend dieters" with a passion, especially if they weigh 300 pounds and are always spouting the merits of their latest "diet". I especially hate the ones who order a "just a salad", that has 8oz of meat, croutons, cheese, and eggs, with 5 bowls of blue cheese dressing, and a Diet Coke. Then they proceed to tell everyone at the table who ordered a MUCH LESS FATTENING steak and baked potato how they are cutting calories or otherwise are superior in their alleged healthy meal choices. That, and the ones who are duped into believing "fat free" and "sugar free" means no calories when they'd be better off eating REGULAR food, calorie wise.
22)People who eat while they shop and/or bring empty cartons or bags to the register. A grown up should be able to wait until he gets home to eat, eat BEFORE he shops, or if he has Diabetes to carry a pack of crackers or juice OF HIS OWN. Worse are the ones who pick at fruit or vegetables while they shop as if that doesn't "count"
23)I hate it when people scold me for not calling or coming by, when I am there THEN. My pat answer has become, "Well, I am calling NOW! Do you want to scold me in the limited time I have to visit OR would you like to talk to me about something?" My Mother in Law has such an awful habit of this I have actually resorted to some rather RUDE retorts, but they still haven't stopped it. For instance, one time she started up with, "Hello stranger! You NEVER come to see me!" bullshit and I asked, "When WAS the last time I came by", to which she replied, "Two weeks ago", and then when I said, "Really? It SEEMS like it was JUST yesterday!", but it went over her head. This of course leads me to believe that commonly spouted bullshit is a favorite among people with a low mentality and not much can be done to thwart it.
24)I hate it when people pout or get their peewins hurt for ridiculous reasons
25)I hate it when someone can NOT be thanked enough and when they solicit thank yous, especially aggressively and repeatedly. ANOTHER habit of my mother in law. Ironically, although she DEMANDS extreme thankfulness for the slightest of things such as sending me a small bag of tomatoes or cucumbers, she RARELY if ever acknowledges anything given to or done for her, even if it's quite a big thing. For example, one time after I had just gotten home from the hospital after having had surgery, she had dropped off a pot of soup while I was asleep, at night. The very next morning at 8AM she was calling to solicit a thank you, even though I hadn't even been aware she had dropped anything off yet because she had awakened me to get her fucking, "Thank you". I was in pain so it wasn't much of a stretch for me to be rude and say, "WHEN I wake up and get the chance to even go LOOK, I would have called and thanked you!".
Then, being the Moo-Martyr she is, she said, "I JUST wanted to make sure you got it!" to which I replied, "How would I have NOT gotten it? You brought it to the door and handed it to your son, didn't you?". Of course that hurt her peewins. Then, the following summer when her father was in hospice and she was at the hospital quite a bit, I bought her what amounted to an entire week's worth of groceries AND prepared food for about 2-3 days of meals. She NEVER even acknowledged it, not once. I don't guess she "got it" or perhaps she didn't notice her are cupboards and refrigerator were filled when she got home. A few weeks later she says, "Oh, all your dishes are there on the counter", so I suppose she DID receive the food, but still no thanks. FUCK that shit. I'd burn in hell before I had to BEG for a thank you and UNLIKE HER, that's not why I give things to people and I don't REQUIRE someone to thank me profusely each and every time I do the least little thing.
She does the same thing with Christmas and birthday gifts too, wanting repeated praise but NEVER thanking anyone for what SHE gets. I could fill a book with "things I hate" JUST that she does or doesn't do.

Re: Just plain hate. October 20, 2012 |
I forgot about the 'Eat and Shop' folks, those are another thing that I hate. No it is rare to see adults do this, often I see moos opening bags and packages and letting the kids eat from them. It's very annoying, and often the first thought in my head is, "Couldn't they have waited until they actually bought the stuff?"

1) Leafblowers!
I hate the damn things so much. I don't get the point. You're just blowing crap off of the sidewalk that the wind is going to blow back up onto the sidewalk later anyway. What the hell happened to using rakes?? Plus they're obnoxiously noisy and just plain piss me off.
Try raking a 200 ft long gravel driveway
Ours has a reverse - leaves can be sucked through the device, mulched and blown into an attached bag. Good for the garden. But the futility of blowing leaves? Author Bill Bryson wrote about watching a guy trying to blow every last leaf into a pile. One leaf decided to buck the roundup and kept dancing out of the way. While the leaf blower was chasing it down the block, the other leaves that had been piled took it upon themselves to scupper off in different directions

Ah, in that case I can see the usefulness of leafblowers. There's a nearby wealthy neighborhood that I like to take walks through, and I often see these guys with the leafblowers strapped to them, just standing around blowing what amounts to a few leaves here and there off of the narrow sidewalk. I suspect this is done to keep up appearances rather than to serve a functional purpose (so says the cynic in me).

Or it's just guys and their Tim Allen, "more power!" attitude when it comes to tools. Take an average guy and give him a task. Sure as eggs, he'd rather perform it with a complicated, multi-gadget power tool than something simple

@Ketchup: ditto on shitty Texan drivers. The one who struck me as I was biking came too late to the left turn while I had right of way.
Regarding men who yell at women on the street: that shit happens all the time where I live, especially in the ghetto part of town. Quit fucking honking at me while I'm walking to the store or waiting for a bus. I don't want what's in your pants, dickhead. The honking and whistling and "EEEEYYY GURL" are not compliments.
Same idea regarding teen brats who yell at passerby and think it's so hilarious. "HEY THERE HUUURDY DURRR LOLZ YOLO." Get fucked, I bet your mothers conceived you while face down in the gutter.
I hate riding the bus more than ever. One fucker started pawing at my hair and another pretended to fall asleep so he could lay his head on my shoulder. Hair dude got scolded; sleeper got fucking elbowed in the temple. In both cases I got up and situated myself nearer to the bus driver. I don't care if it's in handicap seating, I'll move if needed. At least I get off the bus in a nicer part of town. When closing the office supply store with a certain coworker, and I get out earlier, I wait for him, even if it means missing an earlier bus, just to feel a bit safer. I need to go to the store and buy mace.
