Unusual Pet Peeves (actor, red light, tip, woman)

People who block intersections!! Times when you know you have enough room to merge into traffic and Joe Smoe speeds up to drive up your (back end)!! OMG that makes me

People who walk out the left-hand door of stores and restaurants just as you open the door (which is on your right) to walk in.

I don't get it. People rush to an opening door...just so that they don't have to push it open. Now when I go to a mall or large store, I stand aside and wait for approaching people to come out...so I don't have to hold the door for ten people when I originally opened it for myself in the first place.

Those people should be going through the door that's on their right-hand side!

Oh, and yes. Nine times out of ten - both doors are capable of opening and closing; it isn't a situation where one door is locked by store staff.

On the Sports Networks, they do these polls, like it's a vote for the Presidency!

Should Kobe be traded? Then they show those in favor as the Red States and those opposed as the Blue States! As if North Dakota would represent! Or Alaska and Hawaii! Who gives a hoot? Much less the need for a state by state breakdown.

Kobe can quit the NBA and go work with pedophile counselling for all I care!

My pet peeve is packaging. The thick, impenetrable kind that lots of small objects are sealed in, which require a large sharp tool of some sort to get them open. Sometimes I get so frustrated with them, I consider just throwing the whole thing in the trash. Usually at that point, my DH comes to the rescue!

My children eye rolling me when they THINK my back is turned. I swear you could kick me in the shins and it wouldn't send me over the ege like one huffy eye roll!!!
Can you tell I had a rough morning????

Those who make mountains out of a simple ant hill.

Here's one which rivals the "apostrodemic" in my book:
In a restaurant, ever notice staff clearing dirty galsses, a bunch at a time, via the rims (spider fingers method)?
They'll be picking up half a dozen glasses simultaneously with their fingers gripping the tops -- where the peoples' lips just were. Ewwww. Like they're really going to wash their hands every time they do this?
Oh, you need more dinner rolls?

Biggest issue is people handling glassware by the rims in the first place.
No wonder everybody catches the same colds over & over...

Oh, and ever get a to-go order where the condiments, either in the plastic lidded things or the dusty packets, are right on top of the food in its container or wrapper? EWWW! Like, can't they put those things in the bag seperately? Does it have to be squished in there against my hot burger?

When your bank's owner commits suicide by jumping out of a 27 story window!

I always hate when that happens.

Lol, not funny but I knew of a bank owner who tried to kill himself, stuck a gun in his mouth. Ended up horribly disfigured for the rest of his life, but somehow miraculously, lived.

Unusual Pet Peeves... Hmmm.. I suppose it would be very unusual if you had a Peeve for a pet..

Okay, seriously - People who blame others for their own problems

Anti-Gun groups who blame law-abiding gun owners for the acts of voilent criminals.
