Pet Peeves
by I was at Pathmark, McDonald's and the laundromat this morning and some pet peeves came
to mind... I don't know why, but I want to share them...
At McDonald's:
- Mickey D's advertises "Country fresh eggs" and all that... well, the guy who
made my breakfast poured "egg product" out of a 1/2 gallon container. I
saw a stack of pre-made hotcakes in a bag. I think I'll sue...
- A kid was there talking to an employee about how a cop pulled him over last night
because he was driving aggresively and doing 55 in a 35 zone. This kid thought he
was justified in doing so becasuse he felt someone cut him off... no respect!
- The employee was complaining, using some colorful language, about how his manager wants
him to scrape gum off the undersides of the tables. He's ready to quit because of
it! Wait til you get to the real world!
At Pathmark:
- Why are there ONLY TWO CHECKOUT LINES OPEN????
The Laundromat:
- Why is it that when I arrive, there are plenty of washers and dryers available when I
use the washer, but when I'm ready to dry my clothes, I have to scrounge for a dryer or
two?
- Why is it that ONLY WHEN I'M READY TO LEAVE WITH A BASKET FULL OF CLEAN CLOTHES that
someone decides to light up right by the door outside?
- Oh, this is a good one, my clothes NEVER seem to get dry enough, no matter how long they
are in the dryer at high temp.
In General:
- If I talk to a single sister, everyone seems to assume I'm interested in her...
- James Bond movies have become cliched (Okay, Die Another Day was not AS cliched, but
still...)
- Star Trek isn't as good as it used to be...
- I go to the movies, pay $9.00 for a ticket and have to watch COMMERCIALS before the coming attractions...
- When theocratic direction isn't taken... even after YEARS of reminders (District
Convention... hotel arrangements, no flash picture taking of the drama, do not cross
Hempstead Tpke, etc and that is the tip of the iceburg)
- Cars aren't easy to maintain anymore
- "Entertainment" has slid downhill...
AND MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE:
People who complain about their pet peeves!
BTW... anyone out there have pet peeves of their own?

seriously whats with commercials before movies we gotta pay to see!?
and i say we drive down hempstead turnpike with paintball guns or if u feel better super soakers and soak them unlistenin fools!
I'm thinking, if there are commercials before the movies, the tickets should be like $3.00 each!!!!
i guess its like cable, u pay for it and still gotta see commercials, very lame.... cable should be free its same as regualr tv cept u gotta pay for it :/
Another annoying thing about movies is the price of soda! Its rediculous that you pay 4 bucks for a size cup you get at mcdonalds for a dollar
yeah dude i'm seriously sick of listening to people vent all the time...because everyone should just be FOCUSED ON ME! (kidding)...anyway I have a pet peeve, and it's definitely how people in SUVs think they can drive however they want, just cause they get 8 miles to the gallon
my biggest pet peeve in the world is cursing... i cant stand it. UGH!!!!
my pet peeve is short people who have opinions
i guess you should take my picture out of your profile then huh?
as soon as i figure out how to edit .jpgs, you're DONE (no really i still find it funny when people email me to say "hey tina what are you doing this w/end" and i email them back to say "sorry, i'm not tina)
oh no! grrr people are going to think im YOU!
put a dot over her head :)
i can't stand that #@$%! either!
yea cuz youre kool
i can't stand haughtiness. i hate whe npeople think taht theyre better than everyone around them and that they are all that and a bag of wavy lays chips. ugh i hate it
ick wavy lays...why not have some olestra along with that...
hahaha, this was great, dave! i agree with you on so many of these.
Thanks Ian... yeah, there are a lot of othe rthings, like haughty people, fake people (you know.. not down to Earth and think they're something they aren't..) I'll proll add to this as I think of things
I hate it when your job (like mine) can be pretty dangerous unless you take certain precautions and you tell people the rules to follow when in your department and they question you. gggggrrrr
I hate that i cant play the guitar, i hate that i cant run as fast as i used to, i hate that i dont have eyes in the back of my head, i hate that i dont have those shoes that have the wheels on the bottoms of them, i hate that i have only 5 fingers on both hands, i hate that the words flip flop are cooler then the actual footwear....
ahhaha. i have the sneakers with the skates on the bottom!! so hard to do though. you can try em next time mike.
awesome!!!!! sweet... yea let me try em!!! i dunno if my feet will fit, but hey, ill MAKE em fit...
You're doing well with the guitar!
i'm glad i'm superman
you are not superman. dean cain is superman. although, now that you mention it...the only person that could mate with superman would be wonder woman, cause...
Dean Cain was the worst Superman EVER!!
but the hottest
dean cain was the BEST!! i used to watch that series all the time. i loved it! and when i stay home sick i still watch em at 10 o'clock in the morning on TNT (we know drama)
He was the sappiest person ever to put on the cape. First time I saw Lois and Clark I thought "Yeah, this guy is going to cater to the female viewers and not play Superman as he should be"... I was so right!
dude i met dean cain last week, he's pretty jacked...
Sorry... dunno what "jacked" means... but he was the wimpiest Superman EVER!!! Not heroic AT ALL!!! "Mom, Dad, what am I supposed to do?" "Use your super-powers, son..." "Oh, yeah... thanks!"
haha dare i say it, he looked a little fruity!
I hate it when you crack open an egg (like this morning) and you realize that it had been fertilized and youre staring at it realizing that it would have been a chicken if someone hadn't stolen the egg. Ugh, so annoying
ok thats nasty, i never seen that!
Yeah, a brother I know when I was in Towaco years ago would ask whenever we went to the diner and someone would order eggs would ask "So, how's it feel to eat an abortion?"... ick!
i could never figure out where towaco was. it's like one of those mysterious places you can't locate, not that you really ever have any reason to know where it is. (mawhah is EASILY locateable, i'd like to add. all roads to go mahwah)
I live right near towaco. I used to drive to the towaco train station,(about 15 mins up 202).
You're not in the Morristown area anymore? Actually, I thought it was Randolph's territory, but of course, people DO move...
yeah, I move around a lot. boonton/mountain lakes now.
once, when i was back in high school, my friend called me and said "yo this hot girl invited me to a party!" I said, where is the party? He siad "booton!" I said..."where on earth is booton?!?" and he said "I have NO idea." So we played video games. Then, about a year after that, we finally found booton. We drove through it and we weren't impressed.
yeah, its nothing special. I live in a nondescript house with a wall seperating 287 from us in the backyard.
Right off of Rt 287... Montville area...
ew, that was beyond stinkin repulsive. i didnt eat eggs for like 2 years cuz of that.
i'm totally with you dave on the 9 bucks for a ticket. that's just rediculous. plus, you don't get a student discount on friday, saturday, or sunday! so whats the point of a student discount? what student can go to the movies during the week anyway? what a ripoff
I was very distressed over that!! I WANT ROCKAWAY BACk!
Good news/bad news... good news is there will be a new theater at Rockaway Mall... Bad news it's supposed to be another Clearview Cinema
the one in mansfield isnt bad, its just too expensive
With tiny theaters that are way overpriced
yeah that's so frustrating. i hate mansfield because of their $9 prices. and yeah, i miss the $3.75 and $4.25 of rockaway/cinema 10
there's a theater by me thats 4 bucks all the time but it only gets certain movies and the floor is ALWAYS sticky-and yet i still go there. if you're willing to catch a matinee most theaters have them for 6 bucks still. there's also a theater by me that decided it was going to be 6 bucks all the time so that it would get more business. i only see certain movies in the theater nowadays like action or scifi-things like that. most of the time i wait for them to go to the cheap theater or rent them with friends and get to watch it in my pajamas eating pizza or something. old movies are better than new ones anyways-i mean who doesn't want to watch Goonies for the millionth time?!
Interesting..THE $4 theater? Who are you?
i was just gonna ask the same thing. cuz there is that one in hackesttown we like to frequeate.
im in hackensack/paramus, NJ area
