Hellobee Boards

When people say stupid things like 'irregardless' or 'dethaw'. I want to smack them.

People who stand at the convenient store counter scratching their lottery tickets to cash them in for more. Get out of the line! I don't want to wait for your gambling addiction!

When people drop by. It's just rude.

ETA: people who use speakerphone while shopping! Listening to people on their Bluetooth is bad enough I don't need to hear the other side of your conversation too!

@mrs. bird: Oh, even better, I like the words like "viola" instead of "voila" and "balling" instead of "bawling." Argh!

1.People who complain all the time! The lady next to me at work is CONSTANTLY complaining about her car breaking down, etc. and how much money each little crisis is costing her…and then later in the day she’ll put her head over into my cubicle to show me her brand new smartphone or pictures of the granite countertops that she’s putting in.
2.People who text at stoplights and don’t go when the light turns green. Usually they notice (or someone honks) right before the light turns yellow again and then most of us waiting patiently (HA) behind them miss the light.
3.People who look at my belly instead of my face. It makes me really uncomfortable!
4.When people are constantly updating their FB status….”Only 7am and already a bad morning!” “Getting ready to go to lunch!” “Only 2 more hours of work!” Gah! I don’t need a play by play of your workday!

I’m sure there are more…..

@Running Elley: YES. To all of that.

@sorrycharlie: I COMPLETELY agree with your number 3!!!!

And I thought of another one, also FB related. I don’t like when people post about every little bit of weight loss on FB. “Down 3 more pounds,” etc. I feel like it’s just asking for a pat on the back. I understand that it’s a huge accomplishment to lose weight (I’ve gone through it before!) but I don’t think that you should have to look for that acknowledgment on FB. Same thing with trips to the gym. I have a few friends who only post about how they are going to the gym, just spent 2 hours on the stairmaster, etc.

Wow. I'm beginning to think maybe I should just stop going on FB lol.

1: Tapping. My husband is constantly tapping his foot, fingers, etc. or shaking his leg and it drives me NUTS!!! Can not stand it and he doesn't even realize he's doing it.

2: Getting a phone call and then being asked who it is. YOU CALLED ME!

3: Grocery baggers who don't exercise common sense when bagging. Example: don't put my loaf of bread in with my milk. No, I do not want my bleach in with my carrots. Cold stuff goes with cold stuff. Raw meat should not be touching my other food. Just because you CAN cram 13 cans of something in one bag, doesn't mean you should.

@jholler25: I LOVE that blog!!! It's addicting!

when DH wears his shoes around the house! i literally get so hung up on it, it drives me insane!
people who say "i ran out of time/i didn't have enough time/etc" excuse...umm...everyone has 24 hours in a day...make some time or become more efficient.

My neighbor is a runner and leaves his dirty socks, tank tops and shorts and shoes in a pile by his front door! I guess he doesn't want to stink up his apartment? I hate walking by his door!

@jholler25: all of those bother me too but the gym one made me laugh the most! Reasons why I want a home gym some day!!

Lately, my biggest complaint is also FB related...a FB moms group to be specific (I can only see it because a few of my "friends" post there) and they say awful things about mom's who vaccinate their children and who use the CIO method. Ugh. I think moms need support with whatever they choose to do...parenting is hard enough without having random people scold you for doing what you think is best.

ETA: I guess it's not totally a pet peeve but it does annoy me

@Coco Bee: Hate #4. Come on people!! Be courteous! When I was 35 weeks pregnant, I was pushing DS in the stroller out of Barnes and Noble and I was struggling keeping the door open while pushing him through yet some guy went through the door as if I was holding it FOR HIM! And he didn't say a word. I shouted out "you're welcome" and he kept walking.

@eeh: omg there's a bagger at our grocery store who seriously uses one bag for every item. I'm like, dude, my rice doesn't need it's own bag.

@JessLC: My friend was trying to set me up with a guy and the night we met, I used the word "spartan" and he was like "Psssh... You use big words." and THAT'S how I knew THAT wouldn't work!

@Coco Bee: Oh yes yes yes on #3! It's like, how do you forget this? It's just like driving. People do it in the mall, too, and it makes me all ragey!

@JessLC: Oh. my. gosh. I've seen the "walla!" before and it makes my eyes bleed.

@mrs. bird: irregardless KILLS me. and spelling mistakes like "defiantly" for "definitely". gahhh!

generally, bad grammar drives me NUTS! i'm no grammar expert by any means, but c'mon people, if you've gone through the third grade, you should be able to keep your "there" "their" and "they're"s straight. same with "your" and "you're"s. SERIOUSLY.

oh, and this one is a little nitpick-y, but i don't like it when people add an apostrophe and an 's' after their last name to indicate their family. for example, it's "We're the Smiths." not the "Smith's"!

okay, rant over.

@jholler25: me too!!!

@Mrs. Cowgirl: the smiths/smith's drives me nuts! The ILs have a doormat that says it the wrong way w the apostrophe!!

@jholler25: i just want to say a huge thank you for the stfu, parents link. I AM DYING. this breastfeeding week post is making me cry from laughing.

@jholler25: one whose awesome at proofing there sign's.

I hate when people feel the need to add "hmu" at the end of every single facebook post. Obviously if people wanted to talk to you they would have "hit you up" by now! The other thing that makes me crazy for no good reason is any mouth sounds (other than talking, obviously). If I can hear people chewing and slurping you can count on me sitting there mentally bashing my head in with a stick. And there is nothing I hate more than the heavy breathing/ smacking combo. I have been known to get up and leave the room when people eat chips

@Mrs. Cowgirl: Well don't feel too uncool, in my experience it is only the super uncool forever alone type of people that do it to this extent! You know, the type of person that even if they did send a personal message you would pretent you didn't read it...
