Pet Peeves

[tokyorose]

aka things that p you off. go on, spill it! ^-

one that inspired this thread: people with no spacial awareness whatsoever, suddenly stopping in the middle of the street or waving around arms, shopping bags, cigarettes etc. aargh!

[Damos]

along the same line are the couples at the train station each morning who stop, immediately after stepping off a crowded escalator, for their little peck-on-the-cheek-send-off. Sure it's sweet, but get the hell out of my goddamn way!!! >_<</body>

LOL

[Randomguru]

what you do is deliberately bump into them, then say, "oops! sorry, my bad." ;o)

[Evil Overlord]

Haha! I do this. Sometimes even worse.

[yipeeladybug]

Oh dear, I could be one of these baddies! ;)

[tokyorose]

and you'll be looking over your shoulder tomorrow morning, no doubt. ^ -

[yipeeladybug]

luckily, we make out in the car when he drops me off at work. Not at the train station.

But will keep this in mind for future. ;)

I have many:

hypocrites
pple who are mean or abusive to those weaker than them
arrogant pple
pple who constantly take advantage of another's good will

...and many more. I mention them when I remember or someone pisses me off....

solicitors and door-to-door salespeople! who still knock on my door even though there's a "no soliciting" sign there.

also, cigarettes and smokers! sorry, if you smoke. but i spent years in niteclubs, bars and resstaurants putting up with all the smoke while playing gigs. I'd come home afterwards and my wife would always say I smelled like an ashtray! Even my drums would smell like cigarettes!

So glad that ordinance was passed in California prohibiting smoking in venues where us musicians have to perform.

And I'm extremely sensitive to smoke. I was gigging last night and people were smoking out in the patio and there was an open window. And I started having a sneezing fit onstage. Dangit!

[tokyorose]

oh wow, it never occurred to me not all musicians are about smokes, liquor and rock&roll...wouldn't want to be in your shoes. :/

i used to perform regularly at Croce's (ingrid croce's restaurant, widow of jim croce), and before the law was passed prohibiting smoking in restaurants and clubs, i had to come home smelling like an ashtray every time i played there.

One pet peeve of mine is inconsiderate drivers, especially those who cut in on exit ramps and who change lanes without signaling.
