I just got back from Home Depot picking up some lumber for a project. On the way back I decided to stop at Wendys for a yummy tasty spicy chicken sandwich. Also the kids wanted some chicken nuggets.

So I get up to the drive through and proceed to place my first order for a #6.

Before I can even order my drink she interrupts me and asks me what I want to drink. I order the drink. I then start my second order and she interrupts me again and asks me if I would like to order anything else. The same thing happens again with the drink.

3 interruptions within about a 2 minute period.

As Im pulling away and up to the window I drop an F bomb attached to the word "rude". Apparently she heard me because I got up there and she was giving me dirty looks. She then told me she had the microphone on because she had lost her headset and everyone at the front counter heard what I said.

I told her I didnt care and not to interrupt people when they are talking. I pointed to my 2 kids and said I felt like I was talking to them when I have to explain to an adult not to interrupt people.

I usually dont cuss in front of my children but interrupting me is a BIG pet peeve of mine.

My pet peeve is people who talk on their cell phone while paying for their goods at a convenience store or elsewhere. How rude not to even aknowledge the poor clerk who is trying to be polite.

Or worse when they are talking into one of those stupid bluetooths while they are looking at someone and that someone thinks they are talking to them.


Or EVEN worse when the person in front of you gets their change and decides to stand there and organize their wallet while you are waiting to check out.

Or cash in their lottery scratch offs, then painstakingly choose a variety of new scratch offs. Speaking of conenience stores it po's me when I go into buy a soda or something, and the clerk automatically says "you got gas out there?" No, I would tell you if I had gas to pay for. One time the clerk even asked me a second time, or you sure you don't have gas out there? I said no, what are you accusing me of being a thief? Put my beer back in the cooler and left.

My pet peeve? Quite simple. Swearing. I am adamant on that. I constantly have to explain to my high school students that "damn" and "hell" are also swear words. They are constantly astonished by this revelation, because they hear these words so regularly on TV. As far as the "F" word is concerned- that is an automatic referral to an assistant principal. And yes, I do say exactly what I heard them say- usually directed at another student. This is becoming a coarser and coarser society, and I am not happy about that. Yet, I live in an area where students consistently address the teachers by their formal names, or else to "sir" or miss/Mrs." as the case may be.

Id be interested to know when certain words became "swear" words. At one point they were just normal words and then at another point someone labeled them bad.

Ive always been curious about that.

Don't have to worry about that in Jersey. Against the law to self serve at a gas station. Costs us about a nickle a gallon more for gas.

Yeah, those indecisive lottery players really hurt. When you walk in you should be prepared with your numbers or know which scratch offs you want. To stand at the register/machine contemplating via the crystal ball in your head is just extremely rude.

I assume Damn is short for G-- Damn.

Normally I curse up a storm. Grew up on the city streets and spent four years in the Marine Corps. I try to curb my language, especially if I know it offends a person. Just can't help myself sometimes, especially around friends and family.

My pet peeve is people that complain about stuff on the internet.

When the hell did 'hell' become a swear word?

People like the lottery player function as though they are the only people on the earth. They will never change and will always be with us.They are oblivious to you. The only way to reduce your frustration is to work on your own patience level. Treat these people as though they are a dumb dog or an infant and you will notice a difference in your own reaction to these annoyances.

Are you kidding me???

What a rip off.

We have full service stations here, very few left, but they are about .40 higher then filling it up yourself.

My Dad was in the army for 4 years.

He always told me that if you want something solved rationally call the Army. If you want something blown up call the Marines.

How 'bout the old lady in line with about 100 items, waits until every last item is scanned and then unzips her purse and busts out the checkbook.

But not until she goes through her coupons, and argues about each of them. Then the checkbook gets balanced after its use.

Good thread, each of these except swearing is also a pet peeve. I am a natural at swearing, why give up something your good at---just got to know when to say when.

I once got stuck behind an old lady in the supermarket who did all that and then tried to use her debit card for the first time. Was I angry, took her about ten trys, the cashier eventually put her PIN for her. I wish I had filmed it, could of sold it to one of those tv programs (America's Funniest Videos).

One of my pet peeves is when in a busy parking lot, a car will sit and wait while someone gets their keys out, loads their stuff in the trunk, starts the car and backs out, just to get their spot while a mini traffic jam forms behind them and I have to wait just wanting to get by to the spot I see 10 cars down. Though everyone I've told about this peeve has responded by saying they themselves also sometimes wait while someone gets into their car, so maybe I'm just being a bit anal.

I was in the grocery store a week ago, I picked up two things; milk and the paper. I get in the 15 items or fewer line and the lady in front of me has about 50 things... Wait, it gets better. She had it divided up into several piles of 15 items or fewer. Ha, then she writes a seperate check from the same check book for all five piles.

The only thing that could have made it better is if the next register opened and they say, "I can help somebody here," and the guy at the end of the line runs over with two cartloads. Then maybe I could come home and find my neighbor parked in front of my house while they go on vacation for a week.

Not sure of the exact date. I remember as a kid (I'm 46 now) trying to justifying to my Mom that hell wasn't a swear word because it was in the bible. You guessed it. She didn't buy it and spanked us anyway.

Now we know that it is acceptable now, due to the fact that the best dad in the world (Hank Hill) can say, "What the hell Bobby?"

Yep, mine is pulling into a store parking lot and a person coming out of the store is walking down the middle of the road with a cart while Im behind them.

Men should not do grocery shopping it's not in their genetic makeup. It drives me batty, last summer the son-in-law was with us. He thinks shopping for a week takes ten minutes. I have a method to grocery shopping and he needs to sit in the truck or go read a magazine. I hate shopping with men.

Tell my wife that. I can go shopping and spend $50.00 LESS then she will and get the same exact thing.

Bad, slow drivers who are rude.

Women BROUSE, and spend. Marketing works.

People who circle the parking lot at the gym looking for a closer parking space so they don't have to walk so far.

You got the best one! Especially at a gym. lol. Every week I go to WALMART and pull into the first empty stall way in the back and park. As I'm walking into the front of the lot I watch able bodied young people circling round and round the front quarter of the lot looking for a place to park up front.
