Seinfeld's monologues are essentially a compilation of pet peeves that most of us can associate with but that we usually pay no notice to whenever they occur. What are some of the things that people do that REALLY bother you.

Parents that don't control their children from being disruptive in public places, namely quieter restaurants really tick me off.

Completely forgot about the children thing...when mine were young and at those miserable "disruptive" stages, I always took them out of wherever I was...until they calmed down...people seem to be more ignorant concerning respect for others these days. (:

I had lunch with my son, his wife and their 5 kids (ages 7, 5, 3, 3, 1) who sat on their chairs and ate their food. Another couple let their one kid, probably 5, run from table to booth with his hand held food, sit there, take a few bites, then move to the next...tables and booths prepped for diners....augh

I agree with all of you. But the thing that bothers me more than anything, people who leave shopping carts in the middle of the aisle and refuse to move it so you can go by. They look at you like you're stupid to think they don't own the whole aisle.

I have that solved 6dogs "Excuse me" in my sweetest male voice followed by "stand aside or lose a limb"

I've even had people say "well excuse me" sarcastically back to me - like I was asking for something that I shouldn't. I have no idea what people are thinking these days.

One of my biggest, this just happened to me yesterday, I'm standing in line at McDonalds waiting to order when two people came and broke in front of me in line, didn't say excuse me or anything. I know I'm a SMALL man at 6ft. 3 255lbs, but they could not see ME. The cashier told them that this gentleman was here first and took my order first, plus she gave me a free pie for the incident. Some people just don't show us elders respect. My next one is, I'm going down the highway running say 60mph, a person passes me, pulls back over in my lane and SLOWS DOWN, now that p****s me off.

Yes, the yo-yo drivers that drive at variant speeds are extremely annoying when you're on the highway with cruise control. You then pass them again and sure enough, they accelerate.

You're certainly right Ms. Sinclair, they were really being rude and I told them about themselves.

People who continue to stay in the left(passing) lane on the highway instead of moving back over into the right lane. Also people who have no darn clue that by the time they are ready to exit the access road and enter on to the main highway they should be at the designated highway speed. I wan't to ram my car up the A&& of these idiots who pull in front of me only going about 45 miles an hour when the speed limit is 65 and 75 miles per hour.

Grocery stores that started charging 5 cents for plastic bags on the premise that it was environmentally sound policy, not to mention that it saves the stores an added expense. Why don't they credit us a nickel when we bring our own bag ?

When incompetent vendors default to the standard "It's company policy" line whenever they can't come up with a valid reason for resolving your problem. Oh,yeah ? How about MY POLICY which directly contradicts YOUR company policy ?

Slow drivers. I've had to mug a few of my neighbors and tell them to pull over when they see my red GMC in the mirror. I explained that driving too slow, is as dangerous as driving to fast. If you can't control your car at the posted limit, you have no business behind the wheel. Second peeve: The township not picking up road kill. We have an incredible number of dead deer this time of year killed by cars and they stink to high heaven.

Drivers who do not indicate when they are LEAVING a roundabout. Tailgaters, use mobile (cell) whilst driving are main ones in the driver catergory.

People who do not access the virtues or lack thereof of a candidate before voting then complain when said person is elected.

People who do not say please and thank you.

People who do not respect the wishes of others.

Yes, please and thank you. Especially at a checkout counter. Wait a minute, I AM THE CUSTOMER. Why did I THANK YOU for the privilege of having done business with YOU when you didn't thanks ME as you handed me the receipt.?

commented 13 years ago

digger

There IS one usage of "thank you" that I find annoyingly unnecessary. When callers on radio talk-shows begin their conversation with "Thanks for taking my call". If anyone should be doing the thanking, it's the show host. Without callers he'd be looking for work. What a waste of time.Just get to the point already !

I did a joint sales call with a working colleague a year ago. He had the nasty habit of ALWAYS checking his emails from his Blackberry the second they came regardless of what he was doing at that moment. When he pulled that stunt during the sales call, I could have kicked him in the groin. I tore him up after the meeting and he HAS changed his way. But the temptation to check on his "vibrator" is still very powerful.

Yes it is very rude to say the least when you are trying to hold a conversation / meeting.

Folk that apologize for me like I’m an idiot and not there. I say what I mean and mean what I say but nothing is carved in stone with me…I play with acting and enjoy being around actors. When I hurl out that green stuff from my revolving head…I can laugh about it in the next breath. Life is a joke to be played on the serious. Please don’t resent that. None of us are here long enough to harbor resentment.
