What are your pet peeves?

Thanks for chiming in! I don't want to be a grump but some things....
Oh I have a friend who sends those to me, I love the message, but I am with you, I don't have to pass it on for God to love me, I send it to one person on the board and to my hubbys e-mail, but only for the beautiful message. Penny

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!

Sorry, I'm from there originally so I can joke about it. I've always contended that Mass drivers are the best because they have some of the worst! :lol:

Oh, and one of the worst for me is someone sitting behind me kicking my chair. We have season tickets to basketball games, and the people sitting behind us have two small children that are constantly kicking our chairs. I have politely asked the parents to please have them stop kicking, and they may for awhile, but then it starts back up again. Sends me through the roof!

I HATE making phone calls to some companies, because they go something like this:
Welcome....
Press 1 for..
Press 2 for...
Press 3 for....
(So I press 3)
If you want.......please press 1
If you want.......please press 2
And on and on and on. I know they are big companies and this is suppose to increase efficiency but it drives me crazy.
Welcome....

If you want.......please press 1

And on and on and on. I know they are big companies and this is suppose to increase efficiency but it drives me crazy.

An excuse usually always brings in a second party that did/said something that caused the person responsible to be able to point a finger and whine and be all poor me, it's not my fault I couldn't do what I was responsible for doing. A reason leaves no question why the job could not be done as expected.

When all else fails, I keep hitting the 0, maybe 5 or more times. It confuses the heck out their system and transfers to a human. Works 99.9% of the time.
