I know that I can not be alone on this pet peeve of mine. It is enough to drive a person insane! This has to rank on the top of my pet peeves list, do you have any idea what it may be? Well I bet you do from the title.
People that get too close in line!
Why do people feel it is necessary to be all up in your business when you are in a check out line? About a week ago Matt and I were at Wal-Mart with all the other fools buying the last gallon of water because we were supposed to get a little ice and snow. OH MY! Actually we just needed food.
While in line the person behind me bumped the back of my foot with their buggy. I did not even turn around, accidents happen right? The second time it happened I let out a huge sigh (seriously I think people 3 rows over looked at me). Apparently the person standing behind me did not understand this gesture so the 3rd time they hit me I simply placed my foot on their buggy and shoved it backwards into them. Don't tell me they didn't deserve it! I heard a faint "I'm sorry". She did not hit me again so I considered it a success, really hate I had to get ugly though. REALLY I do! So why is it people in lines feel the need to get so close? Do they think they will have someone cut in front of them? Do they think they will be able to check out quicker? I may never understand but if you are a close follower in lines, please stop!
While we are on the subject of pet peeves here are some more of mine:
People that won't stay off their cell phones during a movie! Did you not see the nice ad that said "Please turn off your phone?" Ooh that's right you were too busy looking at your phone to see it. If you want to stay on your phone through the movie then why are you there? The light is very annoying to the people sitting behind you. I once told a young girl, probably early 20's, can you PLEASE tell whoever you are texting that you are in a movie and you will text them when it is over? I got a simple yes ma'am and she turned if off. Sometimes that is all it takes.
Speaking of movies... I hate when adults bring kids to movies that are clearly to young to be seeing them. Matt and I went to see The Focker's movie and there was a boy sitting in front of us with his mom. I would guess that he was maybe 10 or 11 years old. I was so embarrassed when they were talking about sex and masturbating in the movie because this kid was in front of me that I couldn't even enjoy the movie. (Not sure I would have regardless but you get the point.) There were parts that I want to reach up and cover his ears, but again with the personal space.
Why do people post 100,000 status updates on fb within an hour time frame? Is it REALLY necessary? If you have that much to say then start a blog. I did, you can too.
Why do people put things on fb like "O.M.G. I can't believe that just happened?" Leaving me thinking WHAT? WHAT HAPPENED???? I really want to ask but then another nosy person beats me to it only to get the response "I will text you". Oh no you didn't! If you are going to get people so worked up then you need to fill us in. Otherwise keep it all to yourselves!
Why is it every time Matt and I pay good money for a babysitter to have a nice quiet dinner alone we ALWAYS get stuck sitting next to the worst baby or kids in the world?? Never.fails. I am sure people feel the same way about my kids when we take them out. Especially when we were at Chili's the other night and Ashley "flicked" a piece of crayon across the restaurant and it hit a little boy on the back of the head! Yeah I don't think mom and dad saw it, thank goodness!
Ok, well those are just a few of my pet peeves. What are yours?
