Question: Do You Have A Pet Peeve?

[Ole Man Dan]

I'm not sure if this is a pet peeve or more of just a differing of opinions between my wife and me for the last 20 years of marriage and 3 years dating.

But if we are going out to a restaurant in a group of three couples and one of the spouses is "picky" and may or may not have "food issues". It is my opinion that we, as a group, do not defer to her/him to "pick" where we're eating just because she/he is the one that is picky. But rather, we choose a place based on where the majority wants to eat and let the "picky" one find something on the menu they can eat. My wife on the other hand thinks the exact opposite, of course (men, mars, women venus thingy).

My experience with allowing the "picky" person to choose for the group is the place they choose ends up being some national chain (Chili's, Applebees etc.) type place and bypassing better local restaurants that are ten times better.

And before anyone gets on their social righteous horse, I get it, the main thing is spending time with the people and not about the food. But I'm from the south and what "we" eat MATTERS!!! LOL!

I have to be the Picky Person, because I'm a Celiac, and can't eat anything with Wheat, Rye, or Barley.
BUT...
I never make an issue of it, I just eat whatever I can eat.
NO BIG DEAL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE IT ONE.
I've been on this diet since 1996, and it works for me.
It's an awful diet.

People who "ramble" when trying to tell you something. You finally reach the stage where you just say "Can you please get to the point?". My dad has gotten so frustrated with my mom about this over the years. LOL! My mom, bless her heart, just struggles with "getting to the point" of a story and it ends up with glossed-over looks sitting around the table. My dad will notice and say "Honey, are you ever going to get to the point?" LOL! My middle sister is like this and it drives my youngest sibling and me nuts!

I have a friend that does that. Half way through one of his stories I interrupted and said "to make a short story long..." Everyone laughed and he got the point. He tries very hard not to do that now.

The mispronunciation of the word nuclear. It's nuclear NOT nucular. Keifer Sutherland pronounces it that way and it drove me nuts when I would watch 24. I thought Jack Bauer was the coolest dude ever, except for how he pronounced that word LOL

When people that are either married and do not have kids, or people who aren't married AND do not have kids, give their "what I would do if I had kids" thoughts to people with kids. My wife says the look on my face is ALWAYS priceless. LOL!

 

[Bamabuzzard]

Adults who commonly "baby talk". For example, I had one of my co-workers in my department run a report, it ended up being the wrong report, so I walked into their office to let them know I needed Report "A", not Report "B" and could they please run report "A". This was their response "I sorry", in that baby-talk type voice you commonly hear adults using when talking to a baby.

This wouldn't be so bad if this person didn't do it a lot, but they commonly talk like this when interacting in the office with others. I don't hear anyone else complaining about it, so I guess I'm the old jackass yelling at the clouds. But it is irritating as hell to me. Oh well,

Or re-locate down here from "the north".....and try to turn this place into "the north".

Just go back "up north" if you don't like the way we do things here!

When I take care of a patient and they complain about things down South, after moving from the North, I tell them Delta and Interstate 75 both go North.

I'll just put this here without much explanation because it applies to so many facets of our society and to those people under the age of 35 who want to sit at the adult table of life.

Otherwise healthy people driving a car with handicap tags and parking in a handicap spot. The tags are for a handicap person, not the car.

I think some of the handicaps are obviously mental.
Lots of lazy people mooch off of a Handicap card/Tag.
