This just came to mind when one of the ladies talked about wifehood on another thread and it came to my mind how as cute as that sounds, somethings sounds terrible and they drive me crazy - so I thought to ask....What is your pet peeve.
I'll start, when I was married back in the day, my husband when talking to other people would refer to me as "The Wife"
lol - it is Charly. My mother said to me "Girl, don't have any more kids, you don't have enough patience". I'm trying to work on it - I prayed on it and it has gotten better, but I forget sometimes AND LOSE IT!
Girl I am a same way...one of my sisters at church said never pray for patience that is when all kinds a test are thrown your way - girl I stop asking and really tired of having to repent (lol) seriously, it is better to take it one day at a time and before you know it, low tolarence would be a thing of the past for you.
lol Charley, that is funny. one of my sisters at church said never pray for patience that is when all kinds a test are thrown your way. She's not lying!!!!
I agree Askalot.I have a few:
Cars that cut in front of my truck and hit brakes.
People that borrow money and don't pay it back.
People smoking cigarettes while I'm eating.
Men that wont take "no" for an answer when you say "I'm taken".
My pet peeves are when people are unnecessarily rude, disrespectful and insensitive to one another. This morning my daughter and I went to Dunkin Donuts. There was a lady standing in the aisle and I said Good Morning to her and asked her if she had been served, she didn't answer and when I preceeded to move ahead of her, she cursed me out. There was not reason for that. Secondly when we got on the train this morning this GROWN man started blowing kisses at my 15 year old daughter!!! That took me over the top. I asked him if he was ready to go to jail, and he cursed me out too!!! OMG what is wrong with people???? Why can't people just be nice? I don't use profanity, so I can't understand when someone can curse you out so early in the morning (7:00am). Just ridiculous! Sorry guys, but as you can see I had an interesting morning to say the least!!!
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
1. When people don't rinse their plates before putting them in my dishwater
2. When people are in the right hand lane, but not turning right (don't screw it up for the rest of us who want to turn right on red)
3. SLOW DRIVERS (Sometimes I just want to ram into the back of them)
4. NOT using turn signals
*If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything*
3) Not using a signal light
4) Putting a plate in the sink with food still in it (I don't care if it's just a little ketchup! Get a paper towel and wipe it out first!)
5) FH just started this - walking up to me, hug me and sniffing me! (What is that all about?) I tell him to get away from me unless he wants me to build him a dog house.
6) LIARS! IF YOU ARE A LIAR, THEN YOU ARE A THIEF AND I DON'T GET DOWN WITH EITHER ONE.
I have more, but I need a little more time to think. lol
wow...look like this topic should have been posted long time - oh my gooshness. Rony sorry about this morning girl - that's the devil trying to get to you but you proved him wrong and now you can laugh about it - good girl, the rest of you'll - I just don't know what to say at this point except wow!
1. Grown men that wont take out the trash and wait til a lady does it.(I'm not say we women cant take out the trash but my roommate,FH's friend, will not take out the trash unless you tell him to and he's 35 too damn old to be told to clean your house!)
2. Laying in the bed with your work clothes on or after you had a long day, I dont want a dirty bed.
3. For someone to wake me up in the morning.I have to wake up on my own of I will be in a bad mood for a good while.FH has a habit of waking me up and then wanting to play.I just cant do it, I have to adjust and wake up all the way first.
4. FEET! I hate for anybody (except babies) to put their feet on me.I'm trying to get better tho.
5. For people to say the first thing that comes to mind without thinking about ti forst.Sometimes stupid stuff will escape the lips if you dont use your brain.
There are a few more but I cant think of them right now.
Darn Allies you gat it bad...geesh, but you gonna have to work on that waking you up issue....hello!!!! you will be married in 10 months so you need to put that in high gear on you "issues to deal with" list.lol!
I came across another one this mornign on my way in to work. Picture this, there are 2 lanes. There's cars in both lanes. The left lanes has a shorter line so you get in that one. Then the jerk in front of you put on the left signal light when he gets to the light. Now you have to fight to get in the right lane to go around the jerk.
I know Charley I'm working on it. I'm fine if I wake up by myself or with my alarm clock. I wake up all cheery and happy,if you talked to me on the phone after I'd just woke up you would never know.I sound like I been up for hours. Its just that when I get a rude awakening I just cant function. I hate for someone to shake me to wake me up (yall know thats how you wake your kids up) If you just call my name a few times I will get up.I'm a light sleeper and will wake up to the smallest sounds. FH sets his alarm for 3am and I sleep through it and its LOUD but my alarm clock is a very low beep and I get right up when I hear it. I'm trying..I promise.
Rhonda you are crazy gyrl.I aint playing about the feet. I'm working on that alot,I've been getting better but it does still bother me.
When a grown a** man doesn't hold the door when a lady is coming through (especially in front of my 7 year old son - way to be a role model a**hole)!
Chipped polish on toes or crusty feet on display (I mean really, if you're going to show you feet at least take off the old polish and use a little lotion!)
I'm with Plat on the not acknowledging a person that lets you in front of them in traffic (how rude!)
People that think its ok for a man to have jacked up handwriting!
I'm with Askalot on the LIAR thing (I love myself but I am not that important that you have to lie to me. Lying is a lot of work!)
The terms "baby mama" and "baby daddy" - it just sounds so disrespectful to me, especially when you're still together!
Ok I think I have a low tolerance also. Let me stop here!
1. People either eating or throwing away your food stored in the company fridge. In the building where I work there are like 4 difrerent kitchens each with at least one fridge. SOMEONE THREW out my milk! It wasn't even rotten, it had my name on it. And it be different if it was when they clean the fridges out and the company gives us a warning but that wasn't the case. Grrrr!
2. When people see you dropping things and just walk right past you. Yesturday I was comming from Micky D's and the top flew off my sundae. I had a folder and loose papers in one hand and the sundae on the other. A man with a free hand just flew right past me while I'm trying to get my stuff together. Just rude.
3. Anyone that referrs to women as "ma, shorty, boo, and then the worst two female or their BM. Bm is even worst than baby's mama. In hospital I use to work at BM means bowel movement. NUFF SAID.
4. People that pull up next to church on Sunday blasting TI, Remy Ma, 50 Cent etc, when they know service is going on. There's a neighborhood store that sits on the street directly behind our church. I teach in the room that faces the store. It's an old church so curse word and horrible comment is within ear shot of my kids.
5. Teenagers swearing like they don't have any other words in their vocabulary.
6. My biggest peeve yet. a. Parents that pay for their teens to get huge weaves, acryic nails, mini skirts, stilletos etc. By lettings kids wear weave we're telling them the hair you have isn't beautiful, you'll look better if you wear this instead. Then we wonder why they have low self esteem and don't love themselves...
Which leads to b. Pregnant or teen moms who's parents continue to supply the items discussed in paragragh a.
c. Women who smoke (ciggerates or even worse weed) while pregnant or around their kids. It's just selfish and dead wrong.
I got a good one! It just boils my blood to hear a child say "what" to an adult! I can't stand it. My husband's niece has a daughter that says that all the time and I just want to slap the piss out of her!!! I wish mines would!
I hate it when FH uses my toothbrush. How nasty can you be? I wake up, ready to brush, and my damn toothbrush is already wet!?! I swaer I go through like 5-6 toothbrushes a month, I have a stash ready to go...because it won't stop!
It drives me UP THE WALL that my whole family sees fit to use a new towel each time they get out the shower. There is no reason why, if you cleaned well you can't hang it up and use it just one more time. I swear my laundry in about 95% towels, and washcloths(i'll get to this) and 5% clothes!
FH FOREVER uses my washcloth. Get your own damn wash cloth! That mess is soooo nasty!(so now I have to use a new wash cloth everday...thus more laundry)
someone said this but ditto: letting someone in in traffic for them not even to raise up a hand up to thank you. Shoot...should have left their rude rump to wait there all day, wasn't nobody else trying to let them in...I do and they act entitled, like I should have in the first place! my goodness!
I HATE SEEING GUYS WITH THEIR PANTS HANGING BELOW THEIR BUTTS!!!!! WOMEN IN A GROUP THAT ARE EXTREMELY LOUD! SOMEONE PLEASE, TELL THESE WOMEN THAT IS NOT LADY-LIKE!!! AUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!
I hate when my teenagers say "but friend mama is letting her go" Hell if your friend mama tell her to jump off the bridge are you going to jump too?
OR
When they ask me can they go somewhere while I'm sleep.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh!
What about nobody in the house is hungry until company comes over? My little ones always come running up saying I'm hungry while I'm talking to somebody, but I'm like Madea.By the time i'm finished with them, they forget about being hungry.
MsBoston, my husband is almost as bad as your boo. He lays his toothbrush ON TOP of the toothpaste and puts it on that way, I can't stand it. Now there's water and germs all inside the toothbrush tube just waiting for me. Too gross, I swear!

Re: What is your Pet Peeve???
Posted on: 08/16/2007 07:29 PM
I have many, but my latest beef is very loud people in a restaraunt or in a place where people are quietly enjoying themselves. Then, when you start looking at them, they get louder....Unfortuatley, its usually US. Which is often why THEY sterotype us all as unruly, rude, and unclassy....PLUS, its takes everything in me NOT to stand up and cause a scene by asking them to quiet down! Being a Christian ain't easy:)
1. When a bill collector calls and you the one time you decide to answer it (thank god for caller id) you hear :"Please hold for a very important call, someone will be right with you". My response is CLICK, you should have been on the line when I answered.
2. People wearing black stockings with white shoes. Just plain TACKY
3. When the church announcements last almost as long as the sermon.
4. When your male friends act like they can't speak in front of their woman, or when a woman gives you the screw face because you spoke to her man.
5. People with Nextel that use it like a walkie talkie. I don't need to hear your whole conversation.
6. Somebody KNOW they don't know how to do the electric slide and mess it up for everybody...LOL
"I'm a work in progress, God is not through me yet"
Going to a fast food place and the person takes your order is wearing gold or silver grills (I know they aren't wearing platinum grill,working at McDonalds). Or they wear 50 piercings in their faces and serving food.Gross!
Okay had to bring this back up because hubby did this today:
Eating spaghetti in a white plastic bowl. I can't stand for my bowls to be stained. To lazy to look in the cabinet for a ceramic bowl, just grab whatever's in dish rack. ARRGHHHHHHH !!!!!!
"I'm a work in progress, God is not through me yet"
Okay, I just read the MOH forum and someone was talking about little kids being in grown folk conversation. GRRRRRRRRRRRR I hate that. My roommate and I were having some folks over to watch football Sunday. Chick Chick calls and says hey I want to stop by, but I have my kids. Roommate says ok and says her son will be there so they can go upstairs and play playstation or whatever in his room. Great. She gets there. Kids are upstairs for all of 5 minutes. Then they want to sit with us. Talk all during the game, want to show you something, stand in front of the tv. Wrestle with each other, etc. Interrupting my game watching. Mama sits and watches this and all she says is how cute her kids are. Yeah ok, you gonna be mad when I stick a foot up they behind, how cute will that be.
Phew, I just needed to vent on that for a moment.

Okay, I must say I have to agree with a few on here.....1.The black stockings with white shoes!!!! OKAAYY ...2.Kids in grown folks conversation!!! OOOOOOh....But one of my pet peeves is , when you're on the phone with somebody and you're talking to them and in the middle of you talking, they start talking about something on the TV show their watching or talking to their kids in the back ground...Not saying hold on a minute or anything...How RUDE!
Man I think you all got me just about covered. I do however have a couple
1-Store stalkers-so called security watching your every move in the store (okay Hair Store).
2-People with UGLY kids that always want to put them in your face as if you are really going to go to the pits of hell for telling them that their kid is cute. (if not one is telling you they're cute; then the message is clear).
3-Friends that bring their kids to an event and then want to socialize and leave them with you. I say heck naw because if I wanted to be bothered with kids I would have brought my own.
oops sorry, had a flashback

3. Someone asking me the question I just asked them in reversed ...ie ..There is no ice in the ice machine, so I go to the counter and say ...There is no ice over there, can you put ice in here for me please? (after I walked by or standing next too the other ice maker) ... Then I'm asked "Ain't NO ice in there"!
3. Loud Bracelets hitting each other.
4. Men wearing accessories ...ie chains on their hips
5. Seeing the toe line on stockings (btw I don't like stockings either)
6. Huh
7. MOMMY! (at the top of their lungs) ... followed by I forgot it.
8. Wait staff handing me my drink by the top of the glass.
9. "Oh I didn't know that" ...that's why I told you!
10. The one that I have gotten use to, I have 3 kids ... and others refer to them as ...... All your kids. ie. You taking all your kids to the movies ...What Im suppose to say ..Naw Imma take half today and the other half tomorrow.
No Phone manners. When I answer the phone with "hello" the response is "Ericadare" or "BJdare". This has been translated by my children as "Is Erica there?" or "Is BJ there?". Needless to say they usually end up having a long lession on how to call my house and ask for any one of my children.
Another is public nose-pickers, butt scratchers, panty-pullers, and crotch-grabbers. (Sorry, just came back from a trip to Walmart)
