I can really sink my teeth into this topic.

I hate when I am driving behind someone when they are going slow. Then when i have the opportunity to pass them and I try to pass them, they start speeding up because they don't want me to pass them.

I hate when people are standing in line in front of me at a fast food restaurant when they don't know what they want to eat and they don't let me go in front of them.

People who don't take their proper turn getting on and off elevators & escalators

I hate when I am trying to check out at the supermarket and I am behind someone that is trying to pay for their stuff with a check. Who uses checks anymore? It's ridiculous!

when i go to the paragon shopping centre and i have to do # 2's and they got no bum gun.

i <deleted> hate that. :o:D

Ah Ha... The Masked Bog Wall Finger Painter... :o

Recently being told by a bank clerk that I don't know how to spell my own name was pretty frustrating, especially given the amount of money that was sitting 'On Hold' until I could convince the bank that the way I spelled my name in the transfer, the way my names is spelled in my bank book and the way I spell my name in my passport are correct and the 'Thai Spelling' proposed by some dumb @ss who checked the transfer was .... a miss understanding for which no apology is required.

Grrrr

When trying to suppress laughing after taking a mouthful of beer you accidentally spurt it out of your nose instead.

Ever done that ...... it really hurts :o

Have to echo the one about not being able to sleep. It always happens when you have an early start and a busy day in the offing!

LBD, I think the 'pet' bit of pet hates refers to a 'favourite' or 'particular' rather than a pet animal. So, another pet hate of mine is pet haters who don't understand the meaning of pet hate! :o

TripXCore, you missed the annoying tactic of some drivers of pulling out right in front of you, forcing you to slow down, and then 200m down the road, the other driver turns off! AAGH!

OK, I feel better now :o

Pet Peeve number 2: men who don't put the toilet seat up when they use the toilet.

Number 3: People telling me "Oh your life is so easy, you live in Paradise"

Having half the village come to my house to 'help' when I kill a pig :o

Toilet paper in every room of the house but the restroom. (For us wipe/spray/wipe types).

Not being able to <deleted> sleep :o

The sheep are probably disappointed too.

People who are oblivious to the world around them (stand at the bottom of escalators, etc).

People who aren't smart enough to know they are idiots.

Tenative, timid drivers.

People who panic.

Men who stop evolving at age 13.

Drama queens and attention seekers (male or female)

oh, the self-loathing :o

Besides you got double my posts why the concern???

I had the exact thing happen the other day when I corrected the spelling of my name to a teller.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

I took out my birth certificate and asked if he'd check for me. He was a bit sheepish after that. :o

No concerns or worries with this tiger. I was given a good education by the Christian Brothers - Bastards!

Oh I see, gets on your 'pot herbs' does it?

ps if you get this one, I'll be very impressed - Irish rhyming slang.

That's cute. I bet you say it with a lovely lilt in your voice. One of my legs is Irish, so I'm gonna take a wild stab at that and say pot herbs means if you bug me once more you mangey rodent hunter that sleeps in flea-infested potholes I will have to bring out my bazooka. Something like that?

IVR ... aka interactive voice response (Although it has stimulated a whole new activity for me, which is how to press as many buttons as fast as possible to confuse the software into routing me to a real person.) :o

Self righteous, patronistic or hypocritical attitudes.

Career politicians.

The welfare state.

Laziness.

Bad beats.

Okay, now this is complicated, but a boon to all you cunning linguists out there. It means, "Oh I see, gets on your 'nerves' does it?" Right, now pay attention, in the Irish language a 'b' is pronounced as a 'v', so herbs prounced in Irish would be 'herves' which rhymes with 'nerves'! Now that's interesting!!! :o
