What are your Pet Peeves?

Seeing people be rude to waitstaff who are busting their ass to take care of their tables. I remember doing that kind of work and feeling angry at myself for letting those jerks make me feel that way.

Seeing the very young panhandlers at the intersections. Life is hard and times are tough. But your young, get one or two menial jobs until things improve. Join the military. Anything is better than panhandling when you're that young.

Hearing about providers who don't take care of their guys, and the guys who don't take care of their providers. Come on now, we are all in this together!

Hobby land: Reviewers who don’t put the Provider’s name in the title. (“Best CBJ I ever had!!!”)

The rest of the world: Folks who respond to my “Thank you” by saying, “Not a problem”. Clerks who hand me my receipt with a generic, “Have a good one”. Good what? Morning? Trip back home? Dump? CBJ? TV weather people who tease in the trailer. “Will we break 120 this week?” “Is there a tornado alert for Austin?” “Details at 10:00.” Drivers texting at the red light in front of me, oblivious that the light has turned green.

2. Providers who travel from Dallas or Houston and raise their rates $50-$75, not my deal to pay for your travel expenses. I don't ask for a discount if I travel to you from Austin. Originally Posted by RALPHEY BOY

Seeing babies/kids in the winter with no coats on (sometimes no shoes) while their parents are nice and warm in their jacket. Originally Posted by _Honey_

My #1 pet peeve is people that like to whine, bitch, moan and complain constantly about something or other. They sap your energy and are just a pain to be around. Life's to short. If you can build a better mousetrap, hell by all means, go do it!

#2 is parents who don't watch their children and let them run wild in public places possibly endangering them or others. Especially in restaurants!

and of course, like everyone else, inconsiderate drivers!

Petty stuff,
Not enough designers making blouses for small shouldered, big busted women.
4 Ten items or less lanes open and only 2 regular lanes when everyone has full carts.

Not a barn, but not a state where it gets into the 90s much, either; question never really came up; didn't know I was being rude, honest.

Sorry, Rox.

Schedule an appt, show up on time, but she does not answer her phone to give you room #. She calls back 30 mins later, asking where I'm at in that tone that suggests I'm the one who's running late.

That's one of the few things that irks me.

And the other one is... GF starts her fumbling in her purse just as the car ignition gets killed. Girlie... you know where we are going, you saw me pull into the parking lot, you saw me looking for a parking spot, and it's not till the ignition dies that you start to fumble for your ID and makeup - causing me to wait for you while I hold the door open for you ?
