[Rant] Peeves of the pet nature

People who just throw away perfectly good food. There are people starving in the world, and they think they can just THROW IT AWAY! Ridiculous.
 
Countries that don't have postal codes, and shipping software that requires postal codes when attempting to ship to countries that just don't have them.
 
People who - especially in restaurants - pick their teeth with their fingers. Even worse when said offender is either restaurant personnel (you're touching my food with that?) or, at home, the person cooking. Yes, I believe you wash your hands often. No, I don't believe you're washing them after every time you pick your teeth or lick your fingers or pick your nose. I don't want what's left of your breakfast, your boogers, or your saliva, in my food. Thank you.

Me keeping food I don't want to eat won't make it magically appear in front of the hungry. It's not my fault most restaurants have over sized portions.
 
Oh yeah me too I also hate it when people won't shut up about something and repeat themselves over and over again it seems like those two things go together - interrupting and not shutting up, two things which I just can't stand but I suppose its my own fault for not telling them to shut up once in awhile you know it's like talking to a fish that can't remember more than two words previously but you know I can remember the whole conversation over the last half hour so why are they going on and on about how annoying it is to be interrupted and incessantly talking about the same thing over and over again I'm not a fish...
People that make lame jokes.

Related to this, people cooking at home who taste their food with a spoon, then continue to use their spoon to stir or spread the food. I've seen my dad do this many times over the years, and it drives me nuts! He'll be stirring something, try a spoonful to make sure it's coming out right, then keep stirring the with same spoon. Ugh.
 
People who go in my fridge for food without asking. What. The. Hell? Its just the rudeness of it all. Its even MORE annoying when they take my damn beer. Beer is expensive dammit! Just the rudeness of it all.

Sauna pants.

Being "mistaken" for a Swede.

Old ladies that think they can say and do whatever the f*** they want. There's this one lady who lives in my neighbourhood who has come to me twice, on the street, to pat my belly and say how sturdy I look while smiling like a freakin' idiot. Bitch, I'll break your arm if you try that shit with me again.

Agreeing on something - and then the other person doesn't do what was agreed upon, "just in case".

Those hot air blowers that you're supposed to dry your hands with in the men's room. Thanks, now my hands are warm and clammy, and definitely not dry.

Crying babies in public places - especially restaurants. Parents, shut the little larva's mouth before I do it with napkins.

I once had a girlfriend who was like that. Only she didn't go for beer; if I had cooked the day before and had leftovers to eat for another a day or two, she would eat it all when I wasn't looking. Then again, her idea of a healthy eating rhythm was not eating for two or three days and then hitting a McDonald's like a ravenous locust swarm...
 
I should not hear you eat. End of story.

Okay, if it's just the two of us in a quiet room with no other sounds, fine. Sometimes that's unavoidable.

But if you're scarfing food down, smacking your fucking lips and making loud noises, you need to knock it off. Act like an adult, not a damn savage. It's disgusting, rude, and annoying. The same goes for making sucking noises between your teeth, unusually loud gulping noises while drinking, and so on. Food/mouth noises make me want to bludgeon people with a hammer.
Yeah, me too.

People who post those goddamn sappy chicken-soup-for-the-soul stories on Facebook.

Parents who don't understand that their children are fallible.

When people pronounce it "mis-chee-vee-us."

When I explain something to a student for the 8th time, and instead of getting back to work, they stand there, staring, and then go "ooOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhh, now I get it!" Bitch, you just wasted fifteen seconds telling me you understand. Get to work! You can already barely write.

People who are clearly able-bodied stealing Walmart rascals. I want to run them over to make them honest.
 
People that claim to be giving over 100% effort / more than 100% certain.

You're not. Stop claiming you are, you sound like a moron.
 
People using handicapped parking spaces or handicapped parking cards, without a need for it. Drives me up the wall. Leave those spots for those who actually need them. If you can't park your hummer because normal spaces are too small, learn to drive or buy a smaller car.
 
People driving in snowy and icy conditions on balding all season tires. This is Calgary. We have cold, icy and snowy winters. Buy some damn winter tires for your safety and mine. Thank you.
 
There is a guy at work who cuts his nails at his desk. This is gross because:

1. Because he's cutting his nails at his desk.
2. Because its so loud that I can hear it in my office.
3. Because it seems to be necessary every day.

What if it's really crunchy food? There's no way to avoid that being loud.
 
It's questionable at best.

(And I really need to be doing my homework. Why are there so many fun threads on the night I have so much homework?)
 
Oh, seeing as it has been mentioned recently, and it's one of my biggest pet peeves.

Hitting Disagree on a post with no explanation as to why. Have to balls to back up your statement, or get your mouse off that button.

I can't stand it at all. My husband will clip his toenails in the bathroom and I'll be in the next room and still get heebie jeebies.
 
When you click close on a pop-up or banner and it just takes you to the site that its advertising. Its just sneaky is what it is.

When you can't find another fitting glove. Or just can't find gloves at all. MY FINGAHS COLD!

Folgers after ONE hour. Coffee's flavor should stand for at least 5 hours in my opinion.

Just remember not all physical disabilities are blatantly obvious. One of the reasons that you can get those cards is if you're missing a lung and can't breathe well enough to hike to further-away parking spaces; and more and more people are getting very convincing prosthetic legs these days.

I broke up with someone who used to make almost a moaning sound when he ate. I couldn't take it.
