Pet peeves lets hear em.

WildBlueSooner · 04-16-2009, 12:41 PM

Ray you listed so many of my pet peeves. I try to be very friendly and considerate when driving and otherwise. I guess my biggest pet peeve is when people cannot say "thank you" when you do something for them, even something little like holding a door. I hold the door open wherever I am if there is someone following me, sometimes when they are a ways back. I simple thank you would be great...some people just avoid eye contact and walk on through.

That leads me to eye contact. I try to look at people when I am talking to them. Too me this shows that one is actually listening and involved in the conversation. I see people just looking around more and more when they are talking to someone else.

These are small things in the grand scheme, but it is the small things that could really make things a lot better.

Your sir are correct, but it seems to be getting worse every year. My mother is a school teacher, and every year it seems that the students are worse than the last years.

I always try to avoid the "things are getting worse" attitude, but I am really finding it harder and harder. Just walking down the street is seems no one makes eye contact, waves, greets...nothing. If anything they bump into and don't offer an apology.

But, there are still many great folks out there...this board is evidence!

Ray you hit some many of these on the head. How about failing to use your turn signal (picture red and blue lights in your review now

)

Oh and people that chew with their mouth open and make the most annoying noises while eating (like a cow eating..crunching, slurping and generally just being disgusting).

That is is my problem that you broke the law and now are getting a ticket or going to jail.

Sorry to say, but I think I have you beat. I had a customer the other day that would do the silent burp then blow it out towards me. She did this no less than five times in the few minutes she was in here.

Watch it WildBlueSooner my wife is one of the popo.
