I have a lot of pet peeves, but my biggest is people who munble!

The biggest one for me is the people who walk throught the doors of the grocery store - and stop . . right there so no one can get around them, then think of which way to go. I want to push them over! :)

People who refuse to learn english.
people who don't use proper english
mouthy kids
parents who don't discipline
no manners
telemarketers

I could go on and on!!!

Sorry, have to add one. Just got an email from a friend that contains some variation of a religious picture and a prayer to say. It says, if I don't send this out to X number of people immediately, I'll lose my job, my house will burn down, and my dog (if I had one) will die. BUT, if I forward it (thus continuing the curse, in my opinion), then I'll get a gazillion dollars in the mail, etc.

I told her to REALY think about the message she's sending! If I don't do her bidding, then my life becomes a shambles. Somehow, I think God will forgive me if I ignore these types of emails. I can think of my own prayers and, prefer not to buy into such superstitious nonsense. Not to be irreligious but what is a Novena? A prayer?

Sorry, had to vent. Guess this is really a pet peeve of mine!

Chewing gum with your mouth open, leaving lights on all over the house, putting empty containers back in the fridge or cupboard, people who call at 7 in the morning on my day off!

This should be a fun thread to read about some of your pet peeves!

That's bad enough, but I've seen men doing it while they are driving. Do they think no one can see them just because they are in their car? Yuck! Gross.

People that ask for free fabrics, then comes back and tell they just bought a new sewing machine and took a vacation. Seems to me they could buy their own fabrics.
Poeple not looking at other threads and asking the same question that has already been asked.
People skipping around and not reading through PDAs, threads and asking a question that's already been answered, sometimes right above their question.
Too many more to mention.

People who receive free fabrics or patterns or whatever and never bother to acknowledge receipt!

My own procrastination -- not picking up the phone to make appointments.
Putting a quilt on the frame and then being afraid to try something new, even though I have a stack of practice quilts to try something new on.
Wasting time on the computer when I could be trying something new on a quilt top.
"Unknown caller" showing on Caller ID.
Going back on my promise to exercise more.
Yup, I'm peeved by myself more than by anyone else (except for those on the opposite end of the political spectrum, I guess).
