What are your pet peeves?

Self checkouts. I hate them, but had to use one last night as the one live check out was packed with people.
A couple of things that annoy me about self checkouts:
I scan my item and put it in the bagging area. An automated voice tells me to put it in the bagging area. Twice. I yell at the voice that it’s in the bagging area. People are starting to look at me. I scan a bottle of wine. The same voice tells me a clerk will help me. Twice. He comes over, asks my birthday and punches it in. I could have done that. I scan a couple other things and of course after each scan that voice tells me to put it in the bagging area. It already is in the bagging area. I have one coupon I want to use. One. I push the button that I have coupons. I am informed by the voice that a clerk is on the way to help me.
Oh hell no! Forget it! I don’t need the 20 cents that bad. But no. You can’t turn back at this point. You have to wait on the clerk to finish with two other people and then come scan your coupon. At this point I’m opening the bottle of wine and chugging it.

^^^ My pet peeve is when a grocery store doesn’t offer self-checkout registers. The experience of having a cashier ask me if I found everything ok, and then proceed to comment about my purchases, turns me into a Class A misanthrope.

Going to the Post Office to pick up a parcel that online states is already there , but its not ?

Go to the counter clerk and lo and behold its in there holding g area where the staff had not got to the four containers full of parcels due to cutback of staff.

The Post Office is saving my cutting back employee numbers but the service is very slow.

I ordered from Amazon and it checks it I received it on time..this is the reason why the seller sometimes gets a bad review but its not there fault.

Thumping bass ‘music’ coming from cars and bars. Turn that sh*t down!!

Bad vacuuming Just ask my husband :)
People that try to take food off my plate. I’ll give them the whole thing after that.
Low profile tires.
Sick people who still insist on being around others.

People, watching their cart full of groceries getting scanned, then don’t start bagging them, and only when the cashier is done scanning and tells them the amount they owe them, take out their wallet….
(And only then, after they’re done paying, start bagging their stuff.)

@lucillelucillelucille
I share that same pet peeve of people taking food off of my plate.
Apparently its a sign of possession meaning like a boyfriend or girlfriend who does this is sending out the signal to others that this person is mine!
My employers new wife did this repeatedly at events .
I think that it is infantile as only infants or toddlers do that.

@Inspired_2write -I had a co worker who’d did that. Once. XD

@lucillelucillelucille Correct my typo above and that could be another pet peeve. LOL

Continuos tpos is another pet peeve of mine!

Ok, now I’m just b!tchy.

Love self-checkout. (The last cashier had to scratch and sniff my vodka, which was a gift for someone had then had her scratches all over it. Grrrrr…...)

Can’t stand people that are too rough with children or pets in public.

Can’t stand people who aren’t handicapped using handicapped spaces because they’re lazy or in a hurry.

Clutter and fake plants are others.

Slooooow people.
Fast food clerks who try to tell you how to order your food.
People who don’t know how to use the correct for of “there,” “their,” and “they’re.” It’s not that hard to understand.

I agree with the self check out thing.
Also people that go through life with a smart phone glued to one of their hands.
Distracted drivers.
Grammar cops that freak over a comma that wasn’t properly spaced.
Anyone who lectures me on why I should have children.

@SQUEEKY2 None of those from you are a surprise! :-)

Incompetent butlers
Bus people staring at you when you drive past
Cough medicine
Wet farts
People who drown themselves in perfume/cologne

@janbb were you looking for a surprise?

@SQUEEKY2 No – they’re my pet peeve!

Okay, while I agree with the self check-out thing. I will only use them at one store, as I am well known there and got used to them. Sometimes they can be faster. It really all depends how many items I have, and how long the lines for the regular stands are.

Other pet peeves are:

One’s who don’t bother to flush the toilet in a public restroom.

Guys that choose to use the urinal right next to you, when several others are available, or talk while using it, to you. I guess it’s different if I actually know them.

One’s who are loud for no apparent reason.

People who can’t control their pets. I almost had a dog bite me this month, They couldn’t control his dog. And all I was doing was walking the sidewalk.

Telemarketers and robot calls.
Rude and unfriendly customer service.
Driver’s who don’t watch out for pedestrians.
People who cheat and steal, or cut in line.
People who touch too much or invade your personal space.

People who use apostrophes when they shouldn’t be used.

@janbb (snicker)

People who don’t use their turn signal.

Rude customers. (Speaking as someone who works in customer service.)

Rude customer service workers. (Speaking as a customer.)

People who litter.

Being near people who smell like cigarette smoke or strong perfume/cologne.

Store employees smoking right outside the store’s door, so I have to walk through a gauntlet of smoke to get inside.

People who use two or three (or more) exclamation points for emphasis.

People who use commas and apostrophes where they don’t belong (there’s someone on Fluther who puts commas everywhere)

People who leave a public toilet with a pissy seat or other mess.

Drivers who drive all over in parking lots, instead of driving within the rows.

Knuckleheads staring at their phones walking at distracted pace in the middle of the walkway.
Go park yourself at the side and get your messaging done! ... at least walk to the side.

Lo,l’,,,Lo,l,,,L,,o,,l!!!’!!!!!!!!!!!’!!!!!!!
