no one in particular
clingy
I know you lot must have pet peeves...let's hear about 'em!
Here are some of mine:
1. When people say "It's a small world, isn't it?" (invariably with a smile)
(well, no, it sure as hell isn't)
2. In the airplane, passengers using the back of my seat as a handle to get up from their seat. (i just want to sock 'em!)
3. When people suddenly stop in the middle of a busy corridor without a thought about the traffic flow behind them- and you bump smack into them
(i just want to kick 'em in the eye!)
4. Saying "excuse me" when the one saying it is really not even close to being in your way (i always glare at 'em )
5. "How are you?" as a greeting. (in general that is...not applicable for people who know me well, as in good friends or family --- i mean this mostly towards people who don't know me well or at all)
6. People saying the time of a call on voice mails when they know they are calling your mobile phone. ( c'mon folks, you know cell phones have an automated time stamp on the message told to you ahead of the message playback?? )
7. People who leave you a long, rambling voice mail with lots of pauses and "um's", and then AT THE VERY END quickly say their call-back number without a repeat of it. Then you have to listen to the damn message all over again (if for some reason it is not a number picked up by your phone or is a different number than the one they called from or something)
(may be continued...i know i have (MANY) more)
