(I have retail store issues! lol)

People that dont know what a turn signal is.
TAILGATERS!!!
Moms that have those HUGE baby carriages that act like they will run over you.
Agreed! Licking money is nasty.

Or how about women who pull money out of their bra? Yes, this has happened to me more than I like to admit. Gross...who the **** carries money in their BRA?

Working with the general public is a pet peeve in itself. There's a thread floating around somewhere about things that customers do that p*** you off. I won't even get into that here.

I also get irritated at litterbugs. I knew a girl who would take the trash from her car and set in on the ground NEXT TO A TRASHCAN. Then she'd laugh about it.

Some of my pet peeves include :

- Certain catch phrases like "it is what it is ", "bring it" " oh no you didn't" etc.

- People who ride my *ss when I am obeying the speed limit, or people that pull up behind me at a stop light so close that I can practically see the pores of their skin in my rear view mirror.

- Women that wear their pajama bottoms in public to stores !

- People who are constantly on their cell phones or texting in restaurants and other public places.

- Agressive drivers

- People who are neglectful of their pets, or people that don't slow down when they see an animal in the road.. they just keep right on going.

- People that have to get the last word in during an argument or debate, and make idiots of themselves to get the last word in.

- People who are judgmental morons and relish in other people's misfortune.

I really don't need the details of your lives so please lower your voices or better yet, wait until you are off the bus.

Yeah ... I cannot stand it when someone's booty is showing ... TMI.

Yeah ... This is just so unsanitary. I've had supervisors do this while counting papers before handing them to me. There should be a law against this.

If those two people were traveling together, and were talking to each other, instead of on the cellphones, would you have been less distracted from your crossword puzzle?

What irritates me is when folks use demeaning language to describe others. Instead of "a cripple", how about "disabled" or "person with a disability"? I hate political correctness but calling someone a cripple is really demeaning.

People with no common sense what so ever!( You can be book smart, but socially dumb as a door knob)!



People who do not wash their hands after using a public restroom ( I will hunt you down and tell you to wash your hands...thats nasty)
Another irritation of mine is when public restrooms are not stocked with soap. If there's no soap, how does the employees wash their hands?

Maybe if they were really loud about it. But if they were talking to each other, then I would not have to hear both of them yakking at the same time as in most conversations, folks usually don't talk over each other.
