Haven't done one of these in awhile, so while I am being annoyed here, I thought I would spread the joy!

Why is it that some people think that if you turn the thermostat down that the air conditioning will work better? This drives me crazy at work. They ask me to kick it down and I say "it is already blowing - it won't blow colder just because the degree is set colder".

Yesterday, we had it set on 68 and it never got below 75 because the A/C doesn't work well here. I cannot fix that. I cannot make it cooler by setting it lower. It just doesn't work that way! We have been having this conversation for about 8 years since we moved into this building.

I don't think it is that complicated. You set a temperature on the thermostat and the a/c blows until it reaches that temp. It can't make the unit blow colder. Is it actually possible that they don't comprehend this?

OK, I feel better. How about other people's pet peeves???

tailgaters..... especially when there are cars infront of me... Duh I cant go anywhere nor can the tailgater

Definitely for me, the biggest is people who interrupt you while you're talking.

People who insist on talking on their cell phone while being in the checkout line at the grocery store. Sometimes they don't even acknowledge the cashier (which is really rude) and then wait till everything is finished to begin fishing for their debit card - or worse....their checkbook!

I have another one.........

People who get pets and then don't/won't take care of them. That is my biggest "pet" peeve!

If someone tailgates me, it only makes me want to drive even slower...and to match speeds with the slow driver in the next lane. I think I made a tailgater's head explode once doing that.

I also hate people who interrupt me. When I used to work in an inbound telemarketing company (people called me to buy the crap that's sold on tv) they would constantly interrupt me...usually when I was trying to answer their questions. I'd be giving them an answer to their question, and they'd start to yell at me about why I wasnt answering their questions fast enough...Because they were screaming at me, and I wasnt allowed to interrupt THEM! I had to wait for them to shut the heck up.

Another pet peeve is children wearing those Wheelie shoes. I've been run into so many times in WalMart and other stores that I pretty much have given up being civil to the parents of these kids. The kids skate into me, and I get kvetched at for being in the way? I'm not the one rolling down the aisles with wheels in my shoes.

Newspaper articles with errors in grammar and spelling!!! I should have been an editor.

Neighbors who let their dogs poo on my lawn...

pick it up and go put it on their lawn. it doesn't take very long before they figure out that people don't like their dog pooping on your lawn. it does work!

I don't like when someone asks me how I am doing and then walk away never intending to find out in the first place. Just say HI for crying out loud.
