Pet Peeve Venting

ARGH!

Just got back from my afternoon walk.  And I am annyoied.

1.  I work on the 6th level of my building.  This would be awesome to walk up instead of taking the elevator but because of terrist acts all the doors on the floors to the stairs are locked unless the fire alarm is pulled.

2. to get to the elevators there is a set of escalators.  Just because the bloody stairs are moving doesn't mean you can't walk up them!   I have found that to be so irritating when you are stuck behind people that refuse to walk up.. or down them!

*sigh*.. I think I am better now..

What are some of your pet peeves that could help your health?

people who follow you from the door of the grocery store to your car, in their car, to snag your parking spot, holding up EVERYONE in the WHOLE LOT, when there's a spot 2 spots down from you that they could just pull into, but NOOOOOO, they have to vultch (short for "parking vulture") your spot cause it's 10 feet closer.

OK, that's not bad for my health, just my blood pressure.  They could benefit from the walk, though, I'm sure.

When you're ordering a sandwich/sub/salad and you say "easy sauce" or "easy butter"... and they GLOB it on like it's gunna go outta style. Jebus.

When I lived in Seattle, there was this general rule that those who wanted to ride the escalator stood to the right, and those who wanted to walk up did so on the left. It was not uncommon for those who wanted to walk to say to the folks who did not get the rule, "On your left" or "Move to the right, please"

My pet peeve is someone clipping their fingernail with a nail clipper in public. I hate the sound and it is disgusting. That is something to be done in the privacy of one's own bathroom. I understand that if one nail cracked, that it is necessary to take care of it, but to do both hands, full blown maintenance, UGH! So people really seem to think it is a great idea to have their own nail saloon on public transit. ICK!

Oh sorry... I forgot the part about helping my health. I ran away from the city and it has helped my sanity! =)

Anyone else see the "muffin-expose" on the Today show this morning?

The did chem tests on muffins labeled "low-fat" and "sugar free" and found, like, 36 grams of fat and 25 grams of sugar!

Ugh!  I've always been paranoid about those kids of things.

My peeve is restaurants that advertise things as "light" when they're not.  And those that refuse to post nutrition facts on their websites, or repond to customer inquires, like I have no right to decide for myself (Like CLAIMJUMPER and CHEESECAKE FACTORY).  If you want my money, you better pony up!

Muffins are so deceiving! I used to get a HUGE raisin bran muffin to eat for breakfast every morning thinking it was "healthy"... boy was I wrong! Let's just say I was pretty shocked when I discovered Calorie-Count and looked up the nutritional info for that muffin. :(

I hate it when I alter a meal at a restaurant to make it healthier and I get comments from the waitor/waitress about how "I'm trying to be good" or "That's no fun."  They don't know why I'm choosing what I'm choosing - don't judge!!!

Do you know what I hate?
I hate the stares I get when I go off into a restaurants and instead of eating like a typical guy, I watch what I eat, try to eat slowly, DON'T eat alot and *gasp* Split a Desert with my girlfriend.
*I'M* perfectly fine with it, what's your problem? Because I don't stuff my face like a typical guy?

My pet peeve is people who walk really slow in malls and then for no apparent reason stop.....It always seems to be so darn busy when I get behind them I can't get around without being pushy!!  Also, people who yell or be rude to sales associates or cashiers -  bullies!!  Don't like them.

THE MUFFINS!!

goodness yes! I thought I was also doing something good by having a bran carrot muffin in the mornig. Oh gosh! No more of those! 

I was so shocked and dissapointed !! lol

You know what else was huge disappoinment?

Chicken caesar salad.

I regret nearly every single chicken caesar salad I ordered.  I would have been better off with the cheeseburger!

people who can't spell or use punctuation or capitalize things...KIDDING! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!!!

**ducks and runs**

sorofull, you are such a LOOSER!

omg, secret... *dies laughing*
Now you have my death on your conscience as well as those salads.

this is probably silly, but I really hate it when the server takes my food and boxes it for me to go. I would really prefer to do it myself.

I really don't like that it's taken out of my sight to be boxed-I mean, are they sticking their finger in it or something to punish me for ordering the sauce on the side, the veggies instead of fries, and for having it prepared with no oil?

I actually told one server that her tip would be bigger if she just let me do it myself. once it's my food, I really don't like to lose sight of it. lol

Being in the reastaurant gig... I can tell you that if they stick their finger in it or not depends mostly on the 2 things... the person themselves... if they are a good wait person, thay are usually good no matter what, the X factor is if you have soem one who is just bad waiting on you all around. The only other reason would be if the customer was rude or mean. Heck as a manager I even just flat out asked a customer to leave once because he was that bad. 

I killed the Saroful!

+ 2 majik bad-ass points for the squirrel!

(can you tell I don't RPG)

My current health pet peeve is the way products are now labeled "no trans fat" then you read the ingredients and it says it contains partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, which is trans fat.  What the heck is the FDA doing?

Pet peeve mostly is other drivers....I drive for an hour on I-4 everyday and jeeze i almost DIE everyday.  I hate hate hate people that STOP to turn RIGHT!!  or stop once they get into the driveway of a resturant to size up which way to turn...  HELLO I AM SITTING HERE WAITING ON YOU TO GO!!!!

Speaking of Cheesecake Factory...

I heard a slice of thier carrot cake has 80 grams of fat.
