Pet Hates!

jasminejasmine
By jasminejasmine

What are your pet hates? Here are some of mine:

People who wear tracksuits when they clearly are not the kind of people who exercise.

Poor grammar, there, they're etc.

People who email text speak, see you l8r. I am 34 years old, not 15!

People who text in text speak, for the same reasons.

People who try to speak to me on the bus, I don't need you, I have an iPod!

People who click their fingers at their maids/drivers.

Winters in Qatar when it doesn't rain.

Believe me, the list could go on and on, what are yours, yrs, you'res?

..or question you've put to them.

For example phone call or in person...;

Me: Good morning, this is bla bla of bla bla company, can I speak to Mr.John please?

Them: What company are you from sirrrrrrr?

Me: Sorry, you clearly didn't hear me, the line is a little poor, I'm....etc

Them: Who do you want to speak to sirrrrrrr?

Me: Mr.John please....

Them: We don't have a Mr.John here sirrrrrrr!

Me: Really? He's your Managing Director!

Them: What is your good name sirrrrr?

Me: bla bla

Them: What company are you from sirrr...?

I could go on & on & on......, this does drive me nuts as I come across it so often!!

torque, pointed it out well,...sometimes i just feel like slamming the phone down so hard that the guy on the other line would actually feel like he's been hit on the head with something!

I agree with you. Also when you go to Carrefour and ask them to check out back and they never, ever return. My friend always follows them and helps them look!

"if you don't like the heat... get out of the kitchen... but stop trying to fan the flames before you leave... it will burn you on the a** as you go through the doorway...." ME

agree with Alexa, only in my case, it's calling people regarding followups and then they'll say they will check first and then call you back,..then the whole day passes and they still haven't called back...and then when you call them back to ask about it, you'll find out that they didn't do what you asked from them at all...

you are WELCOME! How about this one. A family brought their dog to the vets to be put to sleep. They said he barks all the time. He was a teenage dog that had not been trained, he ruled the roost. We rehomed him, there was nothing wrong with him. A week later, the SAME people came back with a new puppy asking for vaccinations. I couldn't bring myself to deal with them.

there are a couple of people in my office that do that, and I cannot sit near them when they eat.

I hate it when someone chews with their mouth open and you can hear them smacking their lips as they go along! So irritating. It actuallly puts me right of my food.

Driving during Ramadan. Picking up the kids from school was always bad but its now become a survival mission.

Female Maltese dog looking for (male) partner

By rolandspunla on Thu, 11/09/2008 - 1:28pm

Contact email: [email protected]

Contact number: 5413697

Company name: German Group

Description:

Pet dog female Maltese is looking for a male partner preferably Maltese also. Other breed also will do.

Gotta love these adverts, its about the 3rd or 4th one I have seen on QL....

Seriuosly, do you really think your dog needs a partner?

Have her sterilised, that way she won't need a male, and she won't have an unwanted litter of puppies that you will battle to find homes for, and by the time they are 5 months old, will be thrown back onto the street for Qatar Animal Welfare to look after...

I just wish some people would realise the consequenses of their actions....

Sorry I hijacked this thread JJ, but I tried posting it as a new forum topic, but it wouldn't load, I felt this was probably the best thread to vent;-)

people who chew gum and pop it constantly...that drive me bonkers!! Have gone up to people in cinemas and told them to spit it out or I'd call the usher...

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Great list marhabtain!

I have one I'm sure you'll agree with; bartenders who don't put ice and a slice in your gin and tonic. I'm forever having to ask for it here!

I love a few people. For the others I don't care. Hate would be too much a feeling wasted for nothing.

agree with SN on the last one as well..we were in an elevator once with this guy (i wont mention the nationality), who just smelled oh so awful, i had to try hard not to cover my nose just so not to be rude to him..but it was just aahhkk..

I agree about the parents letting their little sods riot...I hate people that won't stand in a queue!

Also, I hate body odour and bad breath! No bloody excuse!!

they should ban the parents who tolerate their children's bad behaviour as well..

Could'nt agree more.

Children under 18 should be banished from planes

Badly behaved children on planes too. And parents. If the lady who encouraged her children to sing the "flying song" over and over on a flight to London is reading this, we did not appreciate it!

Also to the lady in Business Class last year while on my precious upgrade, I don't want to see your child using his potty in the aisle! And I will not clap when he does a poo poo!

that are not open! It just doesn't make sense.

People who openly stare at you, especially when you are in your car and a bus load of workers go by...

Drivers who enter box junctions when the exits are not clear and therefore blocking everyone elses right of way when the lights change...Ramada Junction is a perfect example.

Badly behaved children when you are out shopping. Some how they always find me...

people who think they know who another person is, feels or thinks although they barely know them! Another great pet peeve of mine.

I hate people who are constantly saying sorry as if they did something wrong.

That my husband refuses to email me for days when I'm thousands of miles away!

It's more than their job is worth brit. In coffee shops the smokers often ask the staff for a cup of water to use as an ashtray, and the staff give it to them despite the no smoking signs.

I agree with - People who email text speak, see you l8r. I am 34 years old, not 15!

My pet hate is people who don't respect others or believe they are above the norms of behaviour. I was in a restaurant yesterday. A guy lit up a cigarette and puffed away merrily , sitting only five feet from the no smoking sign.

I was too gutless to say anything, but I was surprised that the waiters or the management also acted as if nothing was wrong..

I must just say that I don't mind the grammar from people who don't have English as their first language. But when it's a Tesco sign, it drives me mad!
