I almost always back into spaces (if someone is behind I try not to) but whenever you pull out of a space some a-hole whizzes by you assuming you can see them as you are backing up. |
If you are parallel parking, you have to back in. My list: Mommy & me time Mom friends gal pals We're pregnant baby talk calling DH , "hubby". If my DH called me "wifey," I'd sock him. leaving dishes in sink if dishwasher is empty. I don't even care if they don't load from back, just don't leave them in the damn sink. Also, if dished are clean, put them away. You've lived in this house for 15 years and you know where everything goes. using all TP and not replacing roll or using all but one square I could go on but it's someone else's turn. |
I've been in many buildings where this is not the case. In fact, I've been in few where it is the case. People are just lazy. This bugs me x 1000. |
OMG. I just realized - after years - that I am the one leaving cabinets open. I have no idea why. But one night I was in the kitchen, looked up and realized every single door was open - it was a scene from the movie about the kid who sees Dead People. |
I'm a mom and hate being called mommy, by anyone other then my kid.
When someone bumps in to you and doesn't say excuse me. When people over explain everything to their kid. Because I said so is a perfectly good reason. |
That reminds me - when you let a car in who's trying to get in front of you and they don't give you the "thank you" wave! Makes me sorry I was nice! |
The word "curdled". |
THIS. DH does this every.fucking.time. Sometimes, if I've been having a particularly rough day, it makes me want to punch him. My list: Anyone referring to themselves as "mommy" the terms "playdate" "mommy card" and "cougar" people who drive at the same speed as the car(s) next to them so other people can't get around Bratz dolls (I'm not a fan of Barbie but Bratz are way, way worse) DH's habit of dropping his bag right in front of the door when he walks in and then leaving it there for everyone to trip over DH's inability to do laundry. He'll think he's being helpful by telling me he'll "do the laundry" but he'll put one load in and it will sit there all day and night unless I either remind him or just do it myself. People who don't send thank you cards or don't make their kids send thank you cards, at the very least, let me know you GOT the present! People who park too far over in a parking space so the empty one next to theirs won't fit anything but a motorcycle or smartcar |
I agree on people who back in to park. Especially those who do it at the grocery store and costco. How are you going to get your stuff in the trunk?? Oh, I know... you're going to pull out into what should be the flow of traffic, and load up while blocking other vehicles.
And, shoes in front of the door. The shoe basket is RIGHT THERE. I do NOT want to have to kick your size 13 canoes out of the way to get out the damned door. Incessant cell phone talkers, and people who believe that their cell phone is endowed with a cone of silence. Who in the hell is my mail carrier talking to? Is it the same person every day, the whole route? Because she is always ALWAYS yakking away on the phone, conversation liberally peppered with profanity. So she's standing on my porch with her phone clamped betwixt ear and shoulder, sorting out which mail goes in my slot (and getting half of it wrong-- but hey, I meet lots of neighbors this way!) talking about how that fucking bitch is all up in her shit. Ok, that last one doesn't belong on this thread. It IS a big deal. |
Teenagers wearing full pyjama outfits (with fuzzy slippers) to go out in public - why do they do this? They look ridiculous. Then I wonder of they actually showered and it makes me go "blech" |
I agree! |
I can't stand it when ppl pick their cuticles (even worse if they're bouncing their leg while they do it). So, so nasty. And it makes you look like you have a) zero self-control, and b) a nervous, high-strung temperament.
I've had this horrible habit for as long as I remember. And, yes, I think I have both of those wonderful qualities! ![]() |
I've had this horrible habit for as long as I remember. And, yes, I think I have both of those wonderful qualities! ![]() Funny, I have this terrible habit too (minus leg bouncing) and as far as I understand myself: neither of these qualities. PP, is it okay with you if I carry around a nail file and file constantly? This somewhat helps me from gnawing half my fingers off. |
People who walk slowly on the sidewalk in front of me--and will not let you pass them without practically having to shove them. Gah! Move! |
I drive a silver Suburban and it is just easier to back that mofo into a space than it is to go straight in--something, something, turning radius... |
