Pet Peeves

[Grimm75]

We all have them. What are yours? They don't have to be photography related, btw.

One of mine:

The courtesy wave. If I let you cut in front of me in traffic, have the decency to realize I didn't have to at all. IOW, give me the wave!

I hate it when people drive too slow - like going at 40mph in a 60mph zone. I'm sure more accidents are caused by people trying to overtake slow people.

I have several- but one that just happened last night- If I'm in line at the grocry store with a buggy full of groceries and someone is behind me in line with one or two items, I'll let them go in front of me...say thanks...along the same line as your traffic rules- common (not so) courtesy.. Or if you realise you've cut in front of someone and you say "OH excuse me! I am so sorry!", and they still look at you like your an idiot....
Or..well, I'll stop there I'm sure I'll agree with other ones posted!

I have been pretty moody this morning so I am going to wait a while before I reply. I have too many pet peeves right now, but after I settle down I will probably only remember one or two "real" peeves of mine.

Mother in law/ sister in law ,my printer, people that get in the way of a shot, people that come to talk to me what im taking a shot, error 99 , the phone that just rang as im replying to this .

People who change lanes without indicating...

Which normally elicits the child-friendly response from me of "you can't spell!"

Which translates to "No F***in Indicator" (no f in indicator!)

A couple of mine:
Women at the grocery store that leave their purse in the seat of the cart and turn their back on it or walk away. Man I would love to just say, do you know how easy it would be for me to walk off with that.

People who don't return their carts, just leave them beside their cars.

People who think they don't need a parking spot, the ones that stop by the curb and wait for whoever went into the store or whatever business it is.

That's enough for now.

comments made about a little woman with a big lens... (that's starting to get old).. and people touching my neck, shoulders or hair... just makes me mad.

Ok, here is one that gets me: you make a real effort to hold a door open for somebody, waiting for them to get through, and then they just blow by with no thank you, nod of appreciation, nothing. Like they think it's your fricken job!

Ok, have to hijack a second! We had a cousin come visit us from Illinois, I had never heard the term indicator- we in Texas call it a blinker- so, when we were driving and the scenario you described happened and he yelled "wheres' your F'n turn indicator?"- I laughed sooooo freakin hard- I mean, it takes so long to say turning indicator vs. blinker! This cracks me up! I love language differences!

Ahhh, I know that one well!

[Grimm75]

Ok, I guess this one really isn't justified, but it annoys me nontheless. People who call their wallpaper (on their computer monitor) their screensaver instead. Two totally different things. As a pc tech, it really annoys me.

It pisses me off when people see me with my camera at school events and just assume that I'd love to give them a print of their child for free. I just give them a business card and direct them to my website since I have hundreds of these requests over the course of a school year.

I've settled down a bit but while at lunch a couple of guys pissed me off.

First, they parked their car in a spot with a sign that says "10 minute parking", walk into the same restaurant I am going into and sit at a table for 45 minutes. While walking into the restaurant my wife held the first door for them (at least they said thank you ) and then they let the second door almost close on my 2 year old daughter.

Now, while eating lunch a group of guys sit next to us and they proceed to talk and laugh so loud that I can barely hear my wife and daughter.

Maybe I haven't calmed down as much as I thought.
