Pet Peeves

Oh my oh my where do I start. Ok first and foremost I absolutely hate when people slurp out of a cup. Do we need to go back to sippy cups. If the liquid is hot, simply wait for it to cool down. I also dislike it when you're having an argument with someone and they find everyway to debate with sarcasm and arrogance towards you only to find out that they were wrong from the get go. People who act "kindly and helpful" out in public for eyes to see but act the total opposite in private. I'm with Phoenix on this one, people who look from me to my husband and then to our baby and then back and forth....YES HE'S OUR CHILD...lol When you drop something on the floor pick it up, don't wait for me to do it. Oh boy the list goes on and on and on...I'll be back. This post is long enough.

I hate when my son sleeps all night and I think he's dead so I check on him and the sound of the door opening wakes him.

Never seen it in the parking lot. But beside the trash can. Ugh! How lazy can you be? Can't they bend over and pick it up. Pigs!

Meghan - posted on 01/17/2011

where are you guys??? I have NEVER seen that-thank god. Freakin dirty trolls

Kate CP - posted on 01/17/2011

I see this so frequently that at this point I don't CARE if the trashcan stinks of shit. I'd rather the shit be IN the damn bin than UNDER MY GODDAMN TIRES! Can I tell you how many times I've run over a shitty diaper?! TOO MANY! You can't see them in the parking space until it's too late and then you get out and see shit smeared all over the tires and you're about to step in it...I HATE PEOPLE! I HATE THEM WITH A PASSION!

Fuck. I need a twinkie or something.

Sarah - posted on 01/17/2011

Kate- or wrap it in a plastic bag and take it with you! i have scented nappy bags for when Marshall does a poo so that when we do throw it in the bin we're not stinking the whole place out

Kate CP - posted on 01/17/2011

I just thought of a new one today while out shopping a Wal-Mart: people who change their kids' diapers and LEAVE THE NASTY, USED, SHIT-OOZING DIAPER IN THE PARKING LOT!

If you do that: Fuck you! How damned hard is it to walk 50 fucking feet to a trashcan and throw it away?! UGH!

When you get into an accident and the bastards have two different plates and no insurance ARGH FML

I hate it when I wake up 10 minutes before my alarm is suppose to go off to get the kids ready to get my older son off to school!

Nikkole - posted on 01/17/2011

@Jenn thats really all you can do and your right your son will realise why his dad is the way he is and he will apreciate everything you do! When i was little i didn't understand why my dad was a looser and wouldn't come see me i thought it was my moms fault but when i was about 14 i realized my mom was the one who did everything and my dad was just a sperm donor :)

Jenn - posted on 01/17/2011

Thanks Meghan - it just infuriates me that he has no conscience whatsoever! I know that one day my son will see the truth with his own eyes, so in the meantime I just keep that smile on my face when he talks about his Daddy and say things like "oh really?" "wow" "neat" even if on the inside I'm screaming.

Meghan - posted on 01/17/2011

I have come to the conclusion that ex's do stuff like that because they aren't taking care of the kids...they have nothing but time to figure out ways to push our buttons. Chin up ladies, you're doing a great job!
Speaking of buttons, I hate when J (or anyone for that matter) touches my belly button...makes me sick to my stomach lol

Jenn - posted on 01/17/2011

I hate it that my ex can get out of paying his child support because he hides behind his Native status and knows that they can't touch him and then tries to turn it around and say that I'm keeping my son from getting his child support because I went through FRO (Family Responsibility Office) ARGH!!!!!! Why do I let him upset me? :(

Sarah - posted on 01/17/2011

I hate it when i go to sleep during the day and i just drift off and baby wakes up...GAHHHH let mummy sleep :(

Soky - posted on 01/17/2011

I hate when you are sleeping sooooo good and then you have to pee!!! Only thing I dont look forward to with this pregnancy!! EEEKKK!

Stifler's - posted on 12/26/2010

It's really hard and ridiculous. I can't get past the first level haha he hasn't stopped playing it and yelling at the screen for the last few days!

Dana - posted on 12/26/2010

Ugh, Jenn, those people drive me batty to, especially when they pull out in front of you, there's no one behind you AND then they turn a few yards down the road. Selfish, in their own little world, pricks...

Jodi - posted on 12/26/2010

So......is Donkey Kong any good? We didn't get that one for Christmas ;P You are welcome to send it my way if you feel any burning need to get rid of it.....

Stifler's - posted on 12/26/2010

video games are my pet peeve. i can't stand them, i don't want to play them and i don't understand anyone who does. WHY DID I GIVE IN TO THE NAGGING AND BUY DONKEY KONG FOR CHRISTMAS!!!

Jenn - posted on 12/26/2010

My ex is like that too Jodi - only comes around about once every 6 weeks or sometimes longer (once it was 3 months) is habitually late, and doesn't pay child support on top of it all - oh but yet he went on a fucking vacation to MEXICO recently!!!! WTF is that!?! How do people like that sleep at night? UGH!

Anyway - after shopping on Christmas Eve I have another one I thought of - when people give up their right of way. I appreciate the thought of being nice, but if you let me go when you should be going and you suddenly decide to go and hit me - then I am at fault - so just drive and I can wait!!! Or how about when someone turns onto the road in front of you and they go slow - yet there are NO cars behind you so why couldn't they have just waited 10 more seconds to turn?!?

Jodi - posted on 12/26/2010

Today's pet peeve - ex husbands telling their kids they will pick them up at 9am, and the poor kid is sitting on a chair looking out the window at 9:30am wondering when the fuck his dad is going to get here. A phone call later..."oops, slept in, maybe an hour or so". You'd think things would have changed in 11 years, but it appears not......and sorry, but the rest of us can't put our lives on hold because YOU can't get yours in order........

@Kati - Oh and because our toilets don't fill so much in the bowl you can't really tell which way the water is turning. I know, I looked after that Simpson's episode.

Anika - posted on 12/26/2010

I'm in New Zealand Vicki. And we have moved on from pull chains LOL All I know is the first few times I used an American toilet I thought I'd blocked it because the water rose SO high. NZ toilets only do that if there's a blockage.

Vicki - posted on 12/25/2010

anika are you EU or aus? I think (now that I think of it) it has to do with the older pull chain toilets. I was always getting shit (yes, no pun intended) from my husband for not scrubbing the shit left in bowl but I thought it was too gross to use a scrubber each time for that. the newer toilets that have the push button for reg water force or extra actually didn't leave marks. my italian friends remember always clogging the n.amer toilets as kids. man though, sure miss the bidet! once I figured out that you didn't use it like sitting on a toilet (duh) I loved it!

Rosie - posted on 12/25/2010

maybe the water swirling backwards has something to do with it, LMAO!! you guys are all screwy down there!!!

Anika - posted on 12/25/2010

ours don't either. Maybe more water comes down from the rim in ours than yours?

Vicki - posted on 12/25/2010

so it doesn't leave a shit mark that needs to be cleaned with a scrubber each time. I hated that!

Anika - posted on 12/25/2010

I heard you should put a ping pong ball in coz they float. But our toilets may be different to yours - the US toilets seem to fill a lot more with water than our ones. Don't know what that's about.

~♥Little Miss - posted on 12/25/2010

lol kati...they do have those target cheerio thing you put in the toilet when you are potty training..it is exactly that...target practice!

Rosie - posted on 12/25/2010

oooh just thought of another!! i live with 4 boys. anybody ever been in a boys bathroom? fucking stinks cause they pee EVERYWHERE!! both of my bathrooms stink like piss, and i can't seem to get it to go away. not only that, but they manage to pee all over the toilet seats too, so when i sit down my butt gets wet! the other day i was giving my youngest a bath, and my oldest decided he was going to go pee, next thing i know the back of my leg is getting peed on! maybe i should work with them, some sort of target practice?? lol!

Rosie - posted on 12/25/2010

well, that usually doesn't happen with us katherine, BUT when people don't get what you tell them to get, and end up getting the same thing you got your kids. it happens to me every year with my husbands dad. he doesn't listen worth a shit!! i know i should be grateful, and it shouldn't matter, but gah!! why bother asking what the boys want if you aren't going to get what i suggest???

Katherine - posted on 12/24/2010

Oh guess I'm off topic lol.

Katherine - posted on 12/24/2010

Asking people not to buy your kid a bunch of toys and they do anyways grrrrr.

Rosie - posted on 12/24/2010

i happily got rid of my maiden name, i don't want anything about that man, and getting rid of any ties was perfect. plus gipson is an annoying last name. everybody would misspell it and call me giBson, drove me fucking batty.

Shannen - posted on 12/24/2010

ANother pet peeve.... Being told to leave someone alone they want nothing more to do with you and then all they do is harrass you. Drive past on a daily basis, prank calls you name it it's happened and i have had enough! :(

Vicki - posted on 12/24/2010

dana ross would be one of the coolest names to have!

Chatty - posted on 12/24/2010

If I took Chad's last name I'd be Dana Ross and it just reminds me too much of Diana Ross....

Iris - posted on 12/24/2010

"That's actually a really old tradition, isn't it, Iris?"

Yes it is.



My brother and I have the same mother but different fathers. But you are right, his last name is the first name of his father and then son, so Gestsson.



Edit: I can hardly say my full name after few drinks...

j/k!



Sorry for getting off topic.

Meghan - posted on 12/24/2010

ok ladies really? ANGER...try going through school with that as a last name...AND having an attitude to boot. No wonder I got married-too bad it didn't work. His name was Simpson...more normal but got a lot of jokes with that too..."what are you gunna name your son? Bart" HA HA HA, assholes

Rebecca - posted on 12/24/2010

I'm not taking my fiance's really easy to pronounce anglo name just because in my career it's taken 10 years for people to know who I am and I don't want to fight trying to get yet another, less memorable name in their brains.

However, I wish I could. I'd love to have people not stutter when they read out my name. That's why I really pushed giving my daughter her Dad's name and leave mine out of it. She'll have an easier time on that front...of course she could marry some guy whose last name is as clunky and hard to pronounce as mine...and I'd be cool with that. I wouldn't think she was subjugating herself.

Another PP: the word "irregardless" and schedule pronounced the odd Brit way.

must admit...big misuser of apostrophe's. whoops. sorry guy's. slip's out wrong sometime's. and btw...whe you smell someone elses poo you are actually inhaling feces particles. yum.

Kate CP - posted on 12/24/2010

I have a friend who took his wife's name. Modern times mean you just go with whatever's right for you in your situation. He wanted to take his wife's name...so he did. Bully for him, I say. :)

Bonnie - posted on 12/24/2010

I agree with Kate. It is a women's choice what name she wants to use. For me, taking my husband's name makes me proud. I love him with all my heart. We joined our lives together. I honestly don't think I would feel married if I hadn't. To me it just goes with being married, but to each their own. My sister in-law actually went through being unsure if she wanted to hyphenate (because she loves her maiden name) or take her husband's. In the end she took her husband's name because that is what felt right to her.

Kate CP - posted on 12/24/2010

I'm wondering if she ate poop while she was sleeping or something...whew!

C. - posted on 12/24/2010

Hahaha, Kate! Hubby and I have been saying the same thing about our son! We make sure his teeth are brushed often and everything, especially before bed.. But man, when he wakes up and he starts talking 2 inches away from your nose.. Dang!

Joanna - posted on 12/24/2010

I was more than happy to take my husbands last name... Good is much better than Herring. I hate fish.

Kate CP - posted on 12/24/2010

Marina: I can honestly say I've never had that problem. Eww.

However, for some reason my daughter's morning breath at the moment is bowling me over. Sweet Jesus it's horrid.
