- when you slow down to let someone change lanes, and they don't say thank you
- people who block aisles with their prams. It's not hard to move it to one side! Rah!
- people who think leggings and dress shirts = business appropriate attire. We have clients on the floor daily and it looks really unprofessional, plus I don't want to see it. High net worth clients and fund managers should not be forced to see that.
- people who won't budge when you are trying to get off a packed train or those who barge on while people are still trying to get off!
My pet hate is people with entitlement issues.
The world owes you nothing! There is no luck, only hard work, dedication and drive.
@KatNYC2011: OMG, ditto on the train bit. Just move out of the way! The conductor will not leave you stranded, I promise. >:(
I am really not trying to be snarky...but is pet hate the same as pet peeve? When I saw the title, I thought people were going to be bashing on poodles or something :) I have honestly never heard of this phrase.
@Savvy24: OK I thought the exact same thing from the title.. I was thinking.. uh pet snakes? haha
Mine would be cars that accelerate as slow as humanly possible once a light turns green. Put your foot down!!!
@mrs.stormylove: I agree about the acceleration thing too...it's pretty bad when the four year old in the back seat starts saying "Green means GO people"
That and people on the ramp to merge on the Highway going 40mph ... I KNOW they are trying to kill themselves and everyone behind them if they think we can merge going that slow.
annnnd .. How noone in the Baltimore/Washington metro area can drive in RAIN nevermind the snow.
People referring to their pets as their babies.. Sorry, I have both and a pet is nothing like a baby. I know I'll get some hate for saying it, but it really bugs me.
I know there are more, but I can't think of them right now...
I have loads haha!
@Savvy24: I assume she's English. Just like a "pram" is a stroller if anyone was wondering :)
I always get ticked at bad grammar. Typos don't bug me so much, but it's not rocket science to use the right their/there, your, you're, etc. I feel RAGE when people write "should of" intead of "should have". I get mad when women refer to their MALE fiance as "fiancee".
Misplaced apostrophes bug the hell out of me!
"We have Christmas tree's"
"Merry Christmas from the Smith's"
(Really, any spelling/punctuation mistakes get me going.)
- People who are late
- People who chew loudly with their mouths open
- Bad drivers, in general
- People who hold conversations in the middle of doorways or hallways
- People who cut in line!!
...I have so many more. I should become a recluse.
@MissLittleChicken: Speaking of people who park on sidewalks. I was walking to work and instead of pulling up the the 4 way stop and doing the stopping thing this car just pulled onto the sidewalk and started driving on the grass. I was about 4 feet away on the sidewalk they never looked and they almost ran me over. I was wearing fluorescent orange too, I was very visible. It really freaked me out because you just don't expect a car to do that. uggh people are just idiots during the state fair here.
I'm going to go with the state fair here. I hate it because I live and work at opposite corners of the fairgrounds and the traffic and sidewalks are ridiculous for 3 weeks and all I'm trying to do it get to work. They also do fireworks every night for two weeks and it's ALWAYS the moment FI and I get into bed.
People who spell common words incorrectly.
People who go really slow in the ultra fast lane.
People who think Lean Cuisine and other processed food is healthy.
People who say "Where you at?" as well as people who use incorrect past participles.
Women who refuse to even have a bite of dessert.
People who don't stop talking during meetings.
People who think my going to good colleges means I'm rich.
@ChocolateLime: This totally reminded me of an episode of Friends. Joey doesn't know the difference.
@Savvy24: LOL me, too!
@throughthebarricades: I was just wondering, "What is a pram?" lol Thanks! Also, I agree on the, "should have" thing.
One of my recent pet peeves has been when a person who lives off a major road doesn't use their blinker to indicate they are slowing down to pull into their driveway.
My pet peeves/hates: I hate it when drivers leave like 2 cars worth of space between themselves and the car in front of them. Little do they realize they are the cause of a complete gridlock 4 cars behind them. What do they think is going to happen, there car is just going to roll forward into the car in front of them? I'm not talking about you're at a stop light that's on a hill and you are assuming the car in front of you is a stick shift and you don't want them to roll into you. If you are guilty of this please explain your logic because it drives me freakin' crazy.
When before someone hangs up the phone they tell me "you have a blessed day". I hear it constantly for some reason (I work at a clinic and call a lot of patients daily). Just say "take care, thank you, bye bye"...any of those will do. I hear it so much that it's not even sincere anymore, it's like they're all just saying it to hear themselves say something "inspiring".
And for those of us who read the title wrong: My pet hates it when I don't feed them as soon as wake up and when I try to cuddle him when he doesn't want to cuddle. I love his agitated kitty growls, they're so cute :)
Wait... I am confused. I read this as what does your pet hate....but people are commenting on their pet peeves....errr
As for my pet peeves, not a whole lot bugs me that much.
I hate it when people make noises with their body. It makes me shudder. Things like cracking knuckles, popping gum, chewing with their mouth open, even just breathing sometimes lol....... I can't be in the same room, I have to leave.
@KatNYC2011: and worse, people that should not wear leggings or anything with spandex in it outside their own home. We have the same issues in my office, nothing is ever done, so I quit mentioning it; low cut tops, jeans that are squeezed on so tight, low riding jeans with the thongs hanging out, I could go on.
@JoolyBee: "I hate it when drivers leave like 2 cars worth of space between themselves and the car in front of them.

Do you mean while stopped at a light, or do you mean while driving? Leaving space between cars while driving is good driving practice, and while it may frustrate you, they've done studies that show it actually makes traffic flow better. If you mean at a stop light...yeah I don't really know. Sometimes at lights that take forever I read, and I stop the car short because I am impatient with how long it takes to stop.
@mommytobee: Who the flaming f*** refers to their pets as their babies?? o_O
I mean, don't get me wrong, my puppy was hard work, but as hard work as having an /infant/? Lawd...hahahaha...
A surprising number of things, now that I think about it.
When I saw the title of this thread, I had thought it meant things that your pet hates. I was all set to say water coming out of a water hose.
Hmm, I would say some of my pet hates/peeves are:
Child-haters
Bad parents (be they the abusive, or helicopter variety)
People who practice poor grammar, punctuation, spelling, or prounuciation, not taking into account regional dialects
Poor etiquette or manners
People who try to shove their political/religious views down my throat (either for, or against)
People who lack an open mind
Hypocrites
Liars
Hateful or abusive people
Extreme sloth or laziness
Immature drivers who heckle bicyclists
Lol, whoops! Yes, 'pet hate' has the same meaning as 'pet peeve'.
Those poor pets!
I'm an Aussie :)
@HisIrishPrincess: The on ramp! THIS!!! Like you're getting on the highway people, DRIVE LIKE IT!!!!
Just in general, I think people have gotten so careless on the road. Earlier today I had recently merged onto the highway. There were people in the left lane following a car who was actually going a bit slower than the right lane was moving. As I was slowly passing this little red car, it inched over and over and over and forced me to let up on the gas and I NEARLY layed on my horn. (I should have.) The car moved back over and as I passed him, I glanced over and saw him with one hand on the wheel and looking down into his lap.
He was texting or something on his damn phone. Hey, I have an idea... you're in the drivers seat of a car, maybe you should DRIVE instead!!!!!!
I also thought this was asking what my pets hate. They only seem to hate not getting rubs and not being able to stay outside all day long. Our puppy only hates not being able to gnaw my hands, feet and the bottom of my jeans. My pet peeves though?
I have a lot but those are the worst ones.
@levisrictusias: Who the flaming f*** refers to their pets as their babies?? o_O
I do. But I also don't want children and I don't equate taking care of pets to raising children. Both require hard work, but dogs are pretty much done after a year or so (with general training) and kids aren't.
so saying something like "my mother and me went to the store" is a fairly common grammatical error that i think most people learned about in grade school. obviously it's supposed to be "my mother and *i* went to the store" because "i went to the store" makes sense... not "me went to the store".
but now, i feel like there is a new trend of OVER correcting for this error. i'm in no way a grammar freak and probably make mistakes all the time, but my absolute, i-don't-know-why-but-i-get-violently-angry pet peeve is when people use that term/phrase "so and so and i" incorrectly *thinking* they are doing something right.
for example, "this is a picture of my mother and i". NO! NO, IT'S NOT! that is is a picture of "my mother and ME" because you would never say "this is a picture of I"... you say "this is a picture of ME". gaahhhhh!!!!!!! why am i so angry?!?!?!?!
ETA: for what it's worth... (because i too thought it was what my pets hate) my older dog hates rain with a passion. i know dogs don't have human emotions, blah blah blah, but you have never seen indy's look of disdain when i try to make her walk on wet cement...
@SouthernGirl: Touche. I don't want children either and have a pup of my own. I guess my assumption is that a person that called their pet their baby would automatically equate the experience with raising a child.
I stand corrected. :)
@MissLittleChicken: about the cyclists thing...
I'm ALL for people riding their bike around town. But if you are in the "bike lane" that does not mean you have to ride ON the white line. you have a whole damn lane. Scoot over a little bit!!!!!!!
@Savvy24: Hahahaha!! I thought this too!! I guess we Americans aren't up to date on all the Brit lingo!! LOL
I really hate it when people don't bother to learn even one or two words of English when they immigrate to America...I may get some haters on this one, but I think if you're going to live in this country, you should at least TRY to learn some of our language...I wouldn't move to France without knowing any French...
I have too many to post here...I don't want people to think I am a Negative Nancy or anthing...but...
*People who are blocking the left lane. It isn't called the just over the speed limit lane, it is the passing lane...if you aren't passing people...MOVE OVER!
*Cyclist riding in the car lane and not their lane.
*Motorcyles who drive between cars on the freeway. Just because you drive a motorcylce, doesn't mean the law or those white lines are void for you. If you want me to look twice for motorcycles...then don't be such douchebags!
*Close talkers...please step back, I feel very uncomfortable.
*Inconsiderate/Rude people
*Standing too close to me in line...I promise, it isn't going to make the line move faster, it is just going to piss me off!
I will end it with that! Apparently I have space and road issues :)
@levisrictusias: I know some people that do, but I have plenty of friends with children, so I know there's not much of a comparison. I mean, puppies are hard, they wake you up early and demand lots of attention, but kids need a lot more.
@SouthernGirl: Tell me about it. The pups kept us up for three weeks straight. Wouldn't stop crying because we were trying to crate train him. We finally just let him sleep with us. Worst. Pet-owners. Ever. LOL!
The plus side I guess, is that it was the best birth control haha!
