Re: I want to know your Pet Peeves!

Yup, certain things can help us deal with our pet peeves. Like carrying tissues "just in case" ladies room runs out (but still pisses me off when you pay $15.00 or whatever cover to see entertainment).

Elderly people shopping "need respect" & yes some are rude, but did you ever think that a simple "smile & can I move that carriage for you" would work instead of slamming into thier cart! Some are who are aging don't even realize how they're acting. (BUT REMEMBER YOU'LL BE OLD ONE DAY TOO & "JUST TRY" TO HAVE ABIT OF COMPASSION FOR THEM NOW)! What if they were your parents or grandparents (would you still slam thier cart)?

I probably wouldn't "smile" if someone (even an elderly person) SLAMMED into my car, but hey it's xmas & while shopping try to keep the xmas spirit will ya'! If you see someone short that's reaching for something, offer to help get it down. If someone mistakes you for an employee & asks where the restroom or anything is & you know the answer "TELL THEM" - like how long can that take you?

Frankly Cell phones create alot of rudeness "wherever there used" like ON THE ROAD, in lines for food/bank etc...
(I've seen couples at restaurants talking on thier cells at the same time, instead of spending quality time speaking to each other)! Can ya' shut 'em off for 30-45 minutes for crying out loud & enjoy who your with?

Today a cashier I went to "literally" thru' a damagable product to the end of register after she had to scan it twice!! I kept my mouth shut at first, then she continued to just whip my stuff around, so I said "do you have to throw them"?

She was obviously not wanting to be there at that moment & "I felt like she was taking it out on me" (THE CONSUMER - WHO PAYS CO. TO BE ABLE TO HIRE HER)!

So on way out I did say (loud enough to hear) - Well somebody doesn't like thier job do they?

Should've complained to a mgr. & asked for an application since I'm unemployed & I know I'd NEVER treat people like that no matter how hard my day was. (Maybe she didn't have lunch or break yet, but "it's the nature of business lately" & if ya' can't stand the heat - get outta' the kitchen")!

Re: I want to know your Pet Peeves!

1. People text messaging in the movie theater. Very distracting.

2. DVD player remotes that have tiny play, stop, pause buttons. I want to watch a DVD, I don't want to type an email. Those buttons should be big and at the top, but I have had three DVD players and the have always been tiny and in the middle of a bunch of other buttons.

Re: I want to know your Pet Peeves!

I have many, too tired to post them all now, but the one MAJOR one that comes to mind easily is people who spit. You all know who/what I am talking about right? ughhh..just so nasty to me when I look over and see someone just gathering all they have and hack it up right where everyone is walking...ickkkkkkk !

Re: I want to know your Pet Peeves!

Finally taking the time to watch a movie ...you think it's good, are really into it and then, the ENDING COMPLETELY STINKS! Rather, lack thereof. You know, the kind of movie that leaves you ticked off and wondering, why they never finished the story line! UGH!
