Re: What\'s your pet peeve?
At my school at least, there are these annoying ppl who write all over the sidewalk to get their liberal ass annoying message out.
i.e. Last week there were messages every five feet about rape and such, I think it annoying, as if defaces the beauty of the campus.

Re: What\'s your pet peeve?
I just remembered another big one!
Those yellow-bow 'Support Our Troops' bumber stickers stuck on like 80% of all cars... what exactly are people thinking by broadcasting that?? duh, Of Course Everybody 'supports those poor soldiers stuck over there and being shot down daily!!'... but by displaying those stickers, it indicates that they support the war and this trash government that put them there!!... AND it's the 'manufacturers' of the stickers that are really being supported - they're making MILLIONS!!! Not one single penny goes to 'support our troops' - I wonder if people think by buying them, it does. So annoying.

Depending on where you purchase the decals you very well may be supporting our troops. See this article for more info. Swede

People who block really long escalators instead of walking up/down them. [/ QUOTE ] You go to Georgetown, right? I think that "stand right, walk left" is a DC Metro area thing, specifically referring to escalators. I'm not a world traveler or anything like that, but DC is the only place I've been where people walk up the escalators. I've gotten a lot of strange looks from people as I try to pass them on my way up in other cities. -McGee

Re: What\'s your pet peeve?
[ QUOTE ]
when a cashier gives you your change and puts the bills in your palm first and then the coins on top, making it inevitable that at least one of the coins will drop [/ QUOTE ] Even more annoying is when the cashier sandwiches the receipt between the bills and the change (especially when it is the psycho cashier in the company cafeteria who forces receipts on everyone -- just in case they need to return that coffee later...). Also cashiers who talk to co-workers, who always seem to need "the key", can't count, try to make you get their special frequent user card, speak to you, look at you funny, move too slowly, breathe... OK, I think I have a problem with cashiers... I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] amazon.com, freshdirect.com, and anyone else who helps me avoid cashiers.
