Non-autism related pet peeves

Post Reply New Topic

People who are 'supposed' to be poor enough to need WIC, but yet buy 50 dollars of junk food in the immediate next order at the same register. Why not just buy the milk, cheese, and eggs with the junk food money?

Parents who rant against 'violent' video games, and then turn around and buy their little weanling Grand Theft Auto.

People who honk loudly at people on bikes. This is illegal for a reason.

People who whinge on about the 'Evils of Religion," but then start acting like the primates that they're supposedly descended from.

The oversexualization of children. They should be allowed to keep their innocence. It's not 'warping' to refrain from it, it's not 'suppression of natural desires,' it's allowing them to enjoy their childhood for awhile without burdening them with something that only adults can really handle.

The overblown importance of sex. Why do people think that sex is the only thing important in life? Or that they are losers if they don't engage in it? It's ridiculous.

Republicans. Just...Republicans.

Anybody who mistreats animals or other humans.

People who think it's wrong to get rid of your pets.

When staying at a hotel I say I don't need room service and they clean my room anyway I guess I'll just use the no room service sign.

When I was staying down in Mexico, the damn housekeepers wouldn't leave their hands off my water bottles or my package of baby wipes or not touch my bed when I have the card on it saying to not change the sheets. Instead they would throw out my water and they even threw out my package of baby wipes because I forgot to put them away. It was so ridiculous down there how I had to put my things away by shoving things in drawers or in my bags to keep their hands off my stuff so it wouldn't get thrown away. And thank goodness they didn't go in the drawers so my stuff was safe in there. I had to toss in my water and everything that could be thrown away before leaving the condo. And none of them spoke English so it was impossible to leave a note saying to not throw out my water bottles and wipes. And these bottles still had water in it and never in a million years do housekeepers in the USA throw out water bottles with water in it or a package of baby wipes or other stuff like toothpaste and all but down there they do that so watch out and put your stuff away. Vacations are supposed to be where you have fun and relax and not worry about putting stuff away worrying it's going to get stolen or thrown out. Okay if we had checked out, it be different. But if it's a stay over, they are supposed to leave your hands off the water bottles if they still have water in it unless it's tossed in the trash. Then they can throw it out assuming the guest doesn't want it anymore. That's the way it is was where I worked and where my family and I have stayed but down in Mexico, nope.


Places that close early before closing time comes, even if it's by a few minutes. Okay I won't call Pizza Hut five minutes before closing to order a pizza since I know they have to cook it and I sure don't want to leave them staying late cooking it for me and then having to deliver it because I know how much that would piss me off and that be one of my pet peeves too.

Drivers who don't indicate but turn into a road i'm crossing & expect me to dodge them. (Taxis are repeat offenders)

People who get to the top of escalators and STOP, to ruminate about the state of the world or something, whilst piles of people get squashed behind them like an impromptu game of sardines...with added luggage.

People who have conversations in shop doorways, or at top/ bottom of stairs - again, move 1m left or right & stop blocking access for everyone else. Not difficult.

Loud mobile phone conversations. Sheesh, some of them don't need the phone!

Loud people generally.

Spitting. Eurourgh.

Rudeness, arrogance, bigotry, hypocrisy.

And the wrong use of 'less' & 'fewer' (keeps me busy ranting at the radio!).
