I was replying to another thread and one of my pet hates came up (lip balms). Just wondered if anyone else had any wierd pet hates / compulsive things they do?

Mine are:-
Twisted coil phone cord.
I have, and mean HAVE to untwist any phone cord that gets all twisted around itself. Not sure why.

Lip balm:-
Too addictive and horrible to kiss

I thought this was going to be a thread about pets. In the US they are Pet Peeves, I was quite confused for a moment.Anyway, I have several lib balm included in there too. Actually just people who are constantly applying it. I only use it when I absolutly have to, but funny thing, if you don't use it all the time you don't need it all the time.Let's see, People who drive with thier headlights on in the daytime. (I almost had a stroke when they came out with day time running lights)When people whom I don't know touch me. (I don't mean like someone bumping into me or brushing by me in a crowded club, but when someone I don't know puts thier arm around me or grabs me or pats me on the back or something)People who talk baby talk to their pets. Bugger all! That pisses me off. In fact, the only thing I hate worse than that is when people talk baby talk to thier babys. That's a shure fire way to make your kids grow up stupid.People who randomly invite them selves into private conversations. (The other day I was sitting at coffe with a friend of mine, discussing personal things going on with her and her boyfriend, and this girl that neither of us knew just sat down and started giving her advice about the whole subject. My god, did I tell her where to stick that, [and probobly not where you'd exepect either.... she didn't])------------------If you love something, set it on fire.

Bendy,that probably won't help, I have the same problem as Durbs with twisted phone cables and I also have a cordless phone.I end up getting really mad when people don't put it back on the base, because then we have to sprint around all over the place trying to find it when it starts ringing madI also really hate it when people drive round with their fog lights on when there's no fog.And people who cut me up because I'm in an old, slow car, then think that my car has ultra-modern brakes and stop suddenly in front of me.In fact, a fair number of people driving really wind me up, I seem to get cut up, pushed into the wrong lane and generally bullied while driving, all because I drive a 32 year old car that people see as an obsticle rather than another driver.It's well worth the hassles I get though, it's a great car smile------------------Bovril - It's liquid cow y'know

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

It took me a minute to get he meant Pet Peeve too SP! smileDM: It's talking to your newborn that will make them smarter, and to your pets and it will make your plants healthier. However, babytalk and shows like Tellytubbies actually adversely effect children's vocabulary as well as how they form their words. I HATE babytalk and never did it to my son, who is extremely intelligent.People who are really aggressive to children/pets/one another in public. It makes wonder what they are like in private! shockedCan't help the day running lights in my car, they are on a sensor..sorry! But how about people who drive with their highbeams on all the time! Argh!Oh...people who lie to make others think they know everything. It is beyond annoying! Back it up with fact I say!Really closed minded people who won't listen when trying to give an oppossing viewpoint. Along with this is also the people who make up their minds they won't like somethign before they try it (*cough*my mother*cough*).I am going to add the tunnel visioned activists in here too, who think the world owes them something. madUmmm...I think not!Lastly, people who are soooooo weak they let others talk for them, decide for them, etc...and the people who take advantage them instead of empowering them. That really gets me! mad mad mad We were given backbones for a reason!!!!M'kay. I think that is my major list...aside from the little facial hair shavings and globs of dried shave gel and toothepaste my housies leave in the sink...ewwww!And the fancy restaraunts who think I would rather have a decoration on my plate than more food. When I pay for food, I want food, not a wedge of crusty lemon and a sprig of parsley!------------------Pele Higher, higher burning fire...making music like a choir...https://www.pyromorph.com

actually i only have 2 that i can think of right now: in shops when your walking along and some idiot just STOPS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, and you nearly trip over them. mad I just shove them out of the way. (well, if there small children!) also when you try to buy something in Claires accesories and they try and sell you half price stuff like tissues with patterns on them. (!?)

One thing that really gets me - People who critisize you or constantly belittle you about something you're doing/saying/wearing...etc...simply to make themselves feel smug. When will they learn that putting other people down is not clever and not funny and certainly not the way to live to a ripe old age in this world.....???One of those compulsive things I do is always sticking with the first choice I madeeg.staying in the same queue in shops not changing to the one that looks quickeror putting my socks on last every morning or doing things in the order I first thought of them. It's kinda bad luck if I change stuff after I've thought of it....[This message has been edited by Ros (edited 27 January 2002).]

It has been proven that parents (and people in general) talk clearer and more slowly, in a different tone also, when talking to babies so that they can pick up the language easier. Don't know what the hell baby talk does though winkMy Pet Peeves/Hates are:People that act all zen and nice, but then say something really mean, and say they were joking, and for you to not take it so seriously. Passive Agressive people. hate that.People that zoom around/tailgate my 25 year old car, even though I'm going 5 above the speedlimit.Stupid people. Honestly I used to think there really weren't stupid people, or that I could at least stand them, but nope. Its pretty hard to do sometimes. Although it depends on what we're talking about....Noises when its really quiet. When people do repetitive tappings when you're taking a test. How anoying is that. Tapping a pen, and that is THE ONLY noise in the room... Or juggling backstage durring a performance. People can hear you dropping the balls...I'm pretty sensitive to sound... Loud noises make me feel really violated...Don't really hate this stuff, just buggs me. Noises stuff bug me the most... Never heard of not liking spiral tele cords, but I agree that when people use a spoon so it is wet, then use it to get sugar...geese, then it gets all clumpy and brown... -john--------------------------Search for meaning,not guided by thought.Help me find it,I am lost.

Rudeness and stupidity. And the two always seem to go hand in hand. In the book "What would Budda do?" there is a page titled: . . . when confronted by fools.When confronted by fools Budda would understand that there are people who go through life like children, doing only what they want to do neither caring nor understanding how their actions can effect others. How can you be angry with such unenlightened people? It would be like hating fire because it can burn. The fire doesn't burn you out of anger, The fire doesn't even know who you are, it is simply doing what fire does. Fire simply is.But I must admit, it doesn't make it any easier to deal with rudeness. Especially when people are rude and they know that it's not appropriate behavior, but the also know that nothing will happen to them so they just go on being rude.

Found a new one today...when you are stuck in traffic in a nasty jam and people pass you on the wrong side so that they can try to sneak in and not wait. Oh they burn my britches!

Can you tell I got stuck in a jam today?

One of all time biggest pet peeves is when people dress their animals up in stupid wanker clothing. I saw a woman walking her dog last night and they were wearing matching sweaters. It took all my will power not to set her on fire.

Similar to what has been mentioned I don' like people shaking my hand, invasion of space, cuddle me once you get to know me aside from that, NO TOUCHING!!!

Spitting - Discusting habit worse than smoking, (like lip balm) once you start you must continue.

People who interrupt, its just plain rude.

I hate stupid people or people with no common sense. There is no excuse for not knowing anything, go to the library, get a computer, do something...

I also don't like prissy girls. I'm a girl to and like being girly but I hate girls who wimp out on stuff because it'll mess up their hair or they'll break a nail.
