Everyone Has That One Thing That Sends Them Over the Edge. We Have A Few!

What small things make your blood boil? Those tiny, seemingly insignificant behaviors or mistakes that somehow manage to drive you absolutely crazy? We're diving headfirst into the therapeutic world of pet peeves in this candid, laugh-out-loud episode.

Grammar mistakes top our list of irritations. From the cringe-worthy "these ones" and "irregardless" to people who say "I seen that," we're letting loose about the language errors that make our skin crawl. As one of us points out, "It makes you sound uneducated, and I would think you'd want to improve." But our venting doesn't stop there.

The marketing world gives us plenty to complain about, particularly with misleading product descriptions. "Vegan leather" – an oxymoron deserving special scorn – alongside "almond milk" and "cauliflower rice" exemplify how language gets twisted for sales purposes. Meanwhile, social interactions provide endless material: conversation dominators, one-uppers, and people who simply cannot read social cues that it's time to wrap things up.

Technology and media haven't escaped our notice either. News programs that tease stories only to deliver them at the broadcast's end, vague social media posts asking for "thoughts and prayers" without context, and those multi-post Twitter threads that force readers to hunt for information all earn our collective eye-rolling.

We wrap up by comparing our grievances with the "official" top ten pet peeves, finding common ground in universal irritations like loud chewing, chronic tardiness, and the office criminal who reheats fish at lunchtime. This episode serves as both comic relief and validation – you're definitely not alone in being bothered by life's little annoyances!

What's your biggest pet peeve? We'd love to hear what drives you crazy. And feel free to share this episode with that friend who's guilty of your particular irritation. As we say, "Blame it on us – we've got big shoulders."

Amy, Kitty & Stacey

P.S. Isn't our intro music great?! Yah, we think so too. Thank you, Ivy States for "I Got That Wow".

Setting the Stage for Pet Peeves

Speaker 1 0:19

All right running, get me to the top, I don't need a good evening, ladies no, no no, no, that's Italian.

Speaker 2 0:37

Why are you saying boo jour, no? Are you practicing for something?

Speaker 3 0:41

yes, I'm practicing and I you know it's gonna tie right into our topic. Yes, I'm practicing and I you know it's going to tie right into our topic tonight, because I'm sure that sounded really irritating to people.

Speaker 2 0:52

Right, yes, we are three cocktails in where we have addicted conversations between the three friends, amy, kitty and myself and tonight's episode is going to be a little bit venting and a little bit, you know, talking about our pet peeves and trying to gather a community that agrees with us.

Speaker 3 1:22

Hopefully we find out we're not alone in some of these things that just drive us crazy, yeah yeah, do you find that your pet peeves change like daily, oh, every few days something new irritates you.

Speaker 2 1:42

Yeah, something new added to the list. You mean Sure, yeah.

Speaker 3 1:46

Yeah, so, speaking of lists, as we do on occasion, when we get ourselves organized and we, you know, identify topics we want to discuss, we kind of all keep lists on our phone. This one was an easy one for me to contribute and put some things together on my list.

Speaker 2 2:06

We didn't have to do some so much research for this one, although I did ask AI what the top 10, you know pet peeves are and I thought the list was kind of funny. I would guess at least one of us has one of one of all 10 of those pet peeves.

Speaker 3 2:23

Should we save those for last?

Speaker 2 2:25

Yes, I will do that last. We'll see how close we get to. And again, top 10, according to who I don't know, just is I agree with you. Yeah, the interwebs. Who wants to go first, amy? What's your top pet peeve?

Speaker 3 2:48

These ones.

Speaker 2 2:51

So in the category of grammar. Yes, amy has submitted these ones.

Speaker 3 2:59

Yes, these means these ones. Yes, it does, yeah.

Speaker 2 3:07

These means these ones.

Speaker 3 3:09

Yes, it does. Yeah, yeah, I've heard that a lot from a lot of different sources recently and they're they're highly intelligent people that are saying that hmm, these ones, these ones yeah that's kind of one of those what redundant, redundant sayings.

Speaker 2 3:30

Yeah, well, I think it's a.

Speaker 4 3:33

These things have been popping up on my socials lately, and there's one, there's one, and I think it's selling a course and it talks about these are phrases that make you sound unintelligent. Is that a word? Less intelligent, sure, and I'm guessing that that's probably one of those. It's probably why it irritates you, amy, it does. It just kind of sounds like you can say that better. Yes, it just doesn't sound very intelligent.

Speaker 2 4:02

Yes, no, it doesn't.

Speaker 3 4:06

Anybody have any other grammar ones, Because I have a few so I don't want to take yours.

Speaker 2 4:12

Go ahead, Kitty. Do you have some of those?

Speaker 4 4:14

Yes, so I've got grammar and then I've got expressions oh yeah, Okay, so grammar, and we've talked about this before. But we can't have this conversation without noting irregardless and mute point. Those are right. Myself, when people fall down, when I hear people say that, I have to really really hold myself from laughing, Because a lot of times when people say those words, they think they're sounding pretty smart when they say them.

Speaker 3 4:58

So yeah, yes, irregardless was on my list, okay.

Speaker 1 5:03

And.

Speaker 3 5:03

I have also found it is a wonderful word to throw in when someone is irritating you and is talking out their hiney and thinks they are super smart. Just to irritate them a little bit. Say irregardless, I think.

Speaker 4 5:24

Yes, and then watch their expression.

Speaker 2 5:27

Yeah, I will admit to that, because my oldest daughter is a grammar Nazi, so occasionally I will do that exact thing. You know, she'll call me out on something else, of course, and I'll say, well, irregardless and. I'll say well, irregardless.

Speaker 2 5:54

I'm guessing she thinks I don't know, that's don't know. Yeah, yeah, I have one more in spelling, like typing an email or something like that, typing a text. Okay, it's the should've, could've, would've. They're using of O-F instead of have, you know, could've, would've. Oh my gosh, I see that occasionally. Oh, we could've, blah, blah, blah. Could've not, could have.

Speaker 4 6:29

Really, I've never seen that.

Speaker 2 6:30

Well now, you'll see it Now that I brought it up, you'll see.

Speaker 3 6:34

So that is very interesting that you brought that up, because I found myself typing an email that said we've got, we have got. That's not right. We have, we have, we have. But I've been typing we've got that's. There's no need to say got. But it's also weird to say weave and then the thing. So I think you have to say we have.

Speaker 4 7:13

That would sound better.

Grammar Grievances and Word Woes

Speaker 3 7:14

Yes, I would say I have another grammar one, and this pops up often Again Me and him, me and her. There is a comedian, christina P, and she does a whole riff on how stupid you sound when you say me and him. She goes you sound like Cookie Monster. Me and him eat cookies. You know, it just doesn't sound right, and I am I. This one befuddles me. This, I think, is on parents you gotta nip that in the butt early. We're gonna say other um phrases that are wrong too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 8:03

Yeah, yeah, I'll throw. I'll throw Madison under the bus for this one because she's. I'll ask her, well, who was at the party? And she'll say me it's like I know you were there first of all. So if she listens to this, she's going to be PO'd because she does it all the time.

Speaker 3 8:23

It's like she's going to be PO'd because she does it all the time.

Speaker 2 8:26

She's not the only one. I have a child who does that? As well, but it's just funny that she has to list herself also. I know you were there. I remember a junior high-ish age English teacher, I think was hounding Trenton all the time too, and that was her thing. There's no me-in, Me-in, that's. You know you don't say that, and I think you know that's what it has to be. Somebody has to remind you a hundred times that that's not how you spread it.

Speaker 3 9:05

I remember seventh grade grammar, a whole year of grammar. Yeah, the whole idea that when you have two people doing something, you drop the, drop the second one off. And how would you say it? Yeah, me going to the store. No, me is not. I am going to the star. Him isn't going to the store. No, me is not, I am going to the star, him isn't going to the store. He is going to the store. Therefore, he and I are going to the store so do they have grammar like that anymore?

Speaker 3 9:39

I don't think it's that well, we know it's not a full year, that's for dang sure.

Speaker 2 9:45

I don't know Because yes, we had it like seventh or eighth grade. English was literally grammar, and you know, did you? What do they call that? The sentence, not the sentence structure, but the. You know the line where you put the noun and the. What was that called? Do you know what I mean? I'm sure they wouldn't possibly do that anymore. Would they Dissecting? No, do you know what I mean? I'm sure they wouldn't possibly do that anymore. Would they dissect, dissecting? No, I can't think of what that's called. I don't know.

Speaker 3 10:11

Whatever you know you know what I?

Speaker 2 10:12

mean I would just think, with everything else they've made modern, that that wouldn't still be a thing.

Speaker 3 10:17

But I don't know well, and probably autocorrect takes care of that. Yes, but also autocorrect doesn't talk for you. So, yeah, okay, thank you for letting me get those off my chest.

Speaker 2 10:33

Yeah, for sure, for sure.

Speaker 4 10:36

I am constantly surprised at how many people I will hear say oh yes, I seen that, that, oh my ears bleed and it's not young people, it's older people, it's our age and older and educated people. Yes, that's a, and I have a hard time holding my back myself back from correcting that one. Yeah, that is yeah. That just makes you sound so yes.

Speaker 3 11:15

Uneducated.

Speaker 2 11:16

Yeah, and people don't like. People don't like being corrected Just saying, but I just yeah, it does. It makes you sound uneducated and I would think you'd want to improve, and I'm sure I do the same thing sometimes Misspeak, oh.

Speaker 1 11:34

I'm sure I do too.

Speaker 4 11:35

You know what I mean, yeah.

Speaker 3 11:39

Some of these are easy.

Speaker 2 11:41

These are not hard.

Speaker 3 11:44

This isn't me speaking Italian.

Speaker 2 11:46

No, no, it isn't, yeah, it's just normal stuff.

Speaker 4 11:51

Okay, Can I? Can I share a saying that is like yeah, yes.

Speaker 3 11:58

Oh, great, I'm super excited for this. Yeah, hopefully I don't get nauseous either for this.

Speaker 4 12:09

Yeah, hopefully I don't get nauseous either. Where did this come from when someone says, oh, wow, we have.

Speaker 3 12:11

Oh, it's been a minute, oh oh, that's right up there with back in the day. Oh okay, whose day? What day? Everybody's. Back to the everybody's day is different. Oh okay, whose day? What day? Everybody's day is different.

Speaker 4 12:30

It's been a minute. It's been a minute. This saying doesn't it makes no sense whatsoever. You're basically saying wow, it's been a really long time since we've talked to each other. That's what the person is saying. But instead they're saying, wow, it's been a minute. What the hell does that mean? That doesn't mean anything.

Speaker 2 12:49

No, it doesn't. But do any of us get that upset about that, as Kitty Does anyone, I mean.

Speaker 4 12:55

I'm telling you, this traps my hide in a big way.

Speaker 2 13:01

Have you done it? Have you done it, you know? What does me, though, is my bad, can't stand my bad, you know we all know my favorite.

Speaker 3 13:15

It is what it is oh yeah, or fine. You don't like, fine either no, I don't like fine either.

Speaker 2 13:23

No I don't like fine either no bad.

Speaker 4 13:26

How about? Yeah, there's no there there. What? There's no there there. Who? What's the context? No, I've even heard it on national news. I heard it during the political debates, so I heard it and I don't remember which candidate said it, but I just remember thinking, oh, this is the lowest of the low. So when someone is commentating on an issue, let's say, or a topic of some kind, the position right, They'll say no, there's no there there, it's acid.

Speaker 2 14:13

What do they mean? Just simply, there's nothing there.

Speaker 4 14:17

Yes, Then just say there's nothing there, let's take a vote. We don't like it. No, there's nothing. Yeah, let's take a vote. It's yeah. We don't like it, no, it's awful.

Speaker 2 14:33

It, it, it, it's stupid, it's stupid. We'll just call that and anyone that uses it stupid. Yeah, how about that? Oh, I thought of something that kind of goes back to along the lines of kind of you know emails and typing and whatever, and I'm sure I'm guessing Amy definitely doesn't ever have this problem. Kitty, I would think not.

Speaker 2 14:56

People will send me an email, right, and even though my name is in the email, they will misspell my name. They'll say Stacey and then misspell it and then blah, blah, blah on the email and it's literally right there and they're replying with you know, when my signature, you know, is right there on the email, still will misspell Yep, I don't get that. No, I'm sure not. So. So my thought on it is are you just that lazy or you just don't give a crap? You know, cause, like, I don't know how to spell everyone's name, but I, at least when I, I will look at it and you know what I mean. I know enough to look at it or look it up. Yeah, you know and spell it right, but I think some people just don't live, you know, whatever it's, it's a weird one, I know that, but no, I don't know I've got some clients that have spelled their name the the same way.

Speaker 3 16:04

But yeah, it's just, you know, lack of attention to detail.

Speaker 2 16:09

Lack of attention to detail. There you go. That's one of my probably my biggest pet peeve. We found it. Yeah, okay, what else? What else? Yeah, see if we agree.

Phrases That Drive Us Crazy

Speaker 3 16:25

I would like to move away from grammar, although this is you know. Again, we're getting to the root problem here. I despise products that are described as being vegan leather. Oh, vegan, yeah, so again an oxymoron, you know it's an oxymoron, because you can't be vegan and you can't be leather. You can be faux leather. Yep, you can be pleather. You could be plastic. You could be synthetic.

Speaker 2 17:00

Yes, can't be vegan leather Yep, like a lot of purses or shoes will be described as vegan leather.

Speaker 3 17:11

No, no, no, they're not vegan leather.

Speaker 2 17:19

They're vegan, maybe, but they're not leather Right, that's interesting. Yeah, well, it's the same thing. If you call oat milk milk, it's not milk, almond milk, not right, just like cauliflower rice, no rice.

Speaker 3 17:39

It can be cauliflower rice or riced cauliflower, but rice is rice yes yep, yep, yep, that's a good one we have an overarching theme here that pet peeves don't always have to be rational no, they don't, they don't they just stick in our craw. Yeah, let's see how many old phrases we can bring up today too.

Speaker 2 18:17

Yep. They do stick in our craw what You've got a chapped your hide. Yes, that one chapped your hide.

Speaker 4 18:28

yes, I love that phrase. I also love grinds my gears yeah, some people probably hate those.

Speaker 2 18:37

You know what I mean. Probably the youngins, you know. Think when we say say those, they're that's probably their pet pee. Think when we say those, that's probably their pet peeve when we say older phrases like that Old-timey stuff? Yes, probably, I would guess. Oh funny, there's the old toilet paper, so some people, I'm sure, hate it when Other people don't replace the toilet paper. I'm less irritated with that than I am the toilet paper beard or the toilet paper mullet.

Speaker 3 19:21

I believe it should be a beard. It should be a beard, not a mullet. Not a mullet. I have never heard it described as that, but I get it.

Speaker 2 19:32

Yeah, what say you Kitty?

Speaker 4 19:34

I believe it should come over the top.

Speaker 3 19:38

That would be in front of your beard, that would be a beard, not a mullet.

Speaker 2 19:43

Yeah, there you go. Yeah, that one irritates me.

Speaker 3 19:47

It is really irritating in a public bathroom when they have those giant rolls that are behind the case and you can't find the end of it. You can't find the end.

Speaker 2 19:56

I know.

Speaker 4 20:04

And you're like a cat in there just shredding it, trying to find People. Probably in the other stalls are thinking what the hell? How much toilet toilet paper? What is going on?

Speaker 2 20:12

I'm leaving we have that dispenser in our restrooms at work and it's, you know, literally the bathroom is right by everybody's, you know office. So when I'm doing that, it looks like. It sounds like the roll is just roll and roll and roll. I can't find the end. Today, do you feel?

Speaker 3 20:35

like yelling that out.

Speaker 2 20:36

I'm okay, I just can't find the end, I know right.

Speaker 4 20:41

The struggle is real.

Speaker 3 20:47

Oh God, I know.

Speaker 2 20:49

That's a bad one.

Speaker 3 20:57

Yeah, I have one that I'm not sure that you guys can relate to, just because of you know, this is very situational and logistical for me.

Speaker 2 21:03

um, I have had it up to here with three-wheel man motorcycle bikes we see them all all over the place here and actually three-wheel, not a three-wheeled bike, but a three-wheeled motorcycle.

Speaker 3 21:22

Yes, they're so freaking loud and they travel in packs and it's like dude, you're not hot on that, it's. It's a middle-aged man who can't keep a motorcycle upright and so they have to. They have to ride the three. It's like a souped up atv off-road not in downtown outside my window at 10 o'clock at night with your radio blasting, thinking you're picking up some 30-year-old chick on your three-wheeler. Cool, not cool. They're so loud, they're so annoying. Yes, yes.

Vegan Leather and Food Naming Crimes

Speaker 2 22:04

I agree, that's probably why, because they're older. Although if I was going to ride on one with someone, I would pick the three-wheeler over the two-wheeler. I would not anymore. You know, this is one of those things as you get older, you, you just will not do.

Speaker 3 22:20

I will not ride a motorcycle I could probably into a side car as opposed to a three wheel because you wouldn't look dumb in a sidecar. You would at least look vintagey Instead of like.

Speaker 4 22:37

I mean, you've got some sweet goggles and a scarf, your goggles.

Speaker 2 22:41

I can't get my head scarf on. Yes, you're do-rag in your goggles. Yes, I can see that now.

Speaker 3 22:48

I was thinking something a little bit more like Audrey Hepburn or like.

Speaker 2 22:55

Grace Kelly? Oh sure, yes, I doubt she ever rode in a sidecar. She wore a scarf, she did. Yeah, yeah, those are an interesting, interesting invention, for sure I think.

Speaker 3 23:19

Yeah, yeah, you know. Hey, I just don't understand why we got to drive them in downtown Minneapolis. No but you can't go faster than 22 miles an hour because there's stoplights and stop signs every single block. Yeah, you can pedal a bike just as fast as you could ride one of those things down here they're probably just passing through yeah, I would say pass and through.

Speaker 2 23:48

You've got to get through there to get out on the open road. I don't know.

Speaker 3 23:54

They've got a long way to go to get on the open road. Yeah, thank you for letting me get that off my chest. I feel a little better. I feel seen.

Speaker 2 24:06

Yep, we see you. What do you have, Kitty?

Speaker 4 24:13

Have you ever been caught in a conversation, meaning that you're talking to somebody and they literally will not shut up?

Speaker 3 24:24

like me. Is that what you're thinking on this?

Speaker 4 24:28

podcast. Well, one they always have to one-up you one up like you know you told them something and then they've got something that you know is gonna well tops that, yeah so the old one-upper?

Speaker 2 24:43

I don't like the old one-upper, that's one component of it.

Speaker 4 24:47

but then also people who just they don't know when to, they don't know when to move on and they just keep going and keep going and they don't pick up on on visual cues that I know I'm giving, that, I'm like this one, oh, got it, you know, and it's just like, and it gets the longer ones. It's really only happened to me a couple of times in my life that after I finally was able to extract myself from the, from the communication, I actually was angry because I, because it felt like you just took all that time from me, and some people are masters at it.

Speaker 2 25:33

Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 25:36

My ex-husband had a friend, a high school friend, that would do this to be irritating, but there are times I've really wanted to and, kitty, I'm going to offer this up as a solution.

Speaker 1 25:49

He would interrupt and say enough about you.

Speaker 3 25:52

Let's talk about me, yeah.

Speaker 2 25:58

I think when you're with someone like that, they're absolutely not paying any attention to you. They're not asking you questions. They're not listening to what you have to say.

Speaker 3 26:12

Yeah.

Speaker 2 26:16

The old one-upper. Don't like him. I think he's always a he Maybe not Nice.

Speaker 4 26:29

What else, what else?

Social Irritations and Conversational Peeves

Speaker 3 26:31

uh nice, what else, what else can we talk about connections, the purple category. Connections, the game category. The purple category is very annoying um you know, it's footwear minus two letters that are attached to. Yeah, you know, they're just sometimes so ridiculously random, yes, very random.

Speaker 2 27:03

I don't mind the ones that are like something in the word you know, or the word, the word in something. They come together because the beginning of the phrase is always the same word. Don't mind those, but those where it's, like you know, the last half of the word is the category.

Speaker 3 27:25

Is a planet without three letters.

Speaker 2 27:28

Yeah, yes, if you don't play't play connections, you probably have no idea what we're talking about. But it's a. It's a game where you have four. You have. What would it be? 16 16 words. They all reduce down to four words or categories, and the purple is always the hardest, usually, although there wasn't one very long ago where both you and I got the purple first, I don't know. So it's supposed to be the hardest one, and sometimes again, they make no sense and are very random.

Speaker 3 28:06

Yeah, like super ultra specific, mm-hmm. Yeah, like super ultra specific. Yeah, okay, then to you know, kind of piggyback on that, because that's a phrase we all love. If I could piggyback on that um Wordle where the last four letters are the same and you get it on the second try and you lose because there are 18 different words.

Speaker 2 28:36

That end with the same four letters and you're just guessing.

Speaker 2 28:39

You're playing the rhyming game yeah, at that point it's just luck at that point you know, and you know what my pet peeve is is when one of you two get it in a guess or two and I go all the way and get it on the sixth guess and I feel like my guesses up up high were very good hey, it's happened both ways before, so and I love it when we all get the middle one right and then at the bottom we get it all and it's like, as Stacey said, that's a big F you.

Speaker 2 29:18

If you can visualize, you know five letters and the middle letter is the one we don't get, or the second to last. It looks like a flipping flipping the bird at the end. Yeah it's about how we feel with those.

Speaker 3 29:32

And yet I still start my day doing that every single day.

Speaker 2 29:36

Yeah, you can probably tell on the days I'm busy. I had my boss in my office today. I don't think I got it done very early, but usually I've got nothing early in the morning, so that's when I'm doing it too. Yeah.

Speaker 3 29:49

Well, you know, like Kitty has her coffee in the morning, I crack open my Diet Coke, pour it on a big glass of ice and I sit down and I do my Wordle and my Connections.

Speaker 2 29:59

Connections yep, Yep, there you go.

Speaker 3 30:02

A little brain exercise to start the day, yeah.

Speaker 2 30:07

Yep, it is Mm-hmm, what else?

Speaker 3 30:13

I am feeling a lot better being able to voice these yeah.

Speaker 2 30:17

I mean, you're not alone, you know. This again goes back to our you know friendship discussion for the entire year. You're allowed to vent your opinions and we'll support you in your crazy pet peeves. That's what we're here for, Good, and most of them we honestly agree. Yes, what do you think about people that are habitually late? Does that bother you?

Speaker 4 31:02

Um late. Does that bother you? I don't know that it necessarily bothers me, because if they're habitually late, then I know what to expect. Yes, that is very true. I don't like it when someone like knew that I'm meeting is late. It's something that I try to instill in Bo.

Speaker 2 31:20

You know, don't be late don't be late, get into a habit of of not being late, but yeah, yeah, it's one of those that I think I think some people just can't stand and other people just whatever. Just like you're saying you know that that's how a person is and whatever. Yeah, I wouldn't say that's at the top of my list, but you know, I just thought of one that is at the top of my list. Do you ever? How am I going to set this up? I do not like when the news advertises the news, does that make sense? You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 32:01

Like you're and I, I don't usually watch the news, but usually when I get home from work, barney already has it on and so it's going, and then it'll cut to like the end of you know, before the commercial and they'll say you know, next up with it in this episode, you know, or this, today, we're we something, something happened, or you know what I mean. And they don't say it then, and then they don't say it within the next 15 minutes, and then they don't say it within the next 15 minutes and then they don't say it till the very end of the show. They'll run that story. I can't stand that. So you've watched you kind of, and I get why they do it. It's obviously intriguing, so you watch the whole thing. But if it's news at 5 30, why isn't it news at 530? Not at two to six? You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 32:54

That's the thing that you know and you'll see news commercials during the day saying tonight at six we're going to talk about whatever, I don't know. I just think it's weird.

Speaker 4 33:10

News, so news related. I think it's interesting how local news people think that they're celebrities and also people.

Media, News, and Online Annoyances

Speaker 3 33:22

People get like gaga over local news casters or twin cities. Today, people like oh my God, oh my God. Yeah, they say just as annoying things as are on our list. So, let's just bring them back to reality.

Speaker 2 33:44

And if you're a local, here's another one. I don't like If you're doing a local newscast and you have to go do a news story on any kind of pet, nope you have, you've got the lowest of low jobs. Going to talk to whose? Pet got lost but came back 800 pound pumpkin. Yes, anything so goofy like that, but pet stories really irritate me.

Speaker 4 34:22

Because I gotta pay their dues before they work up to the anchor desk. No, no pet stories.

Speaker 2 34:30

No one cares you care about your pet anchor desk? Yes, no, no pet stories. No one cares. You care about your pet? Yes, Do I? No, oh my gosh, you have to be honest, that one irritates me. There you go. I checked that one off, what else?

Speaker 4 34:46

People who vague post.

Speaker 3 34:51

Oh, yeah, yeah, right, yeah. Thoughts and prayers, please, yeah, nothing else, right, yeah, then you gotta spend a lot of time digging through their social and their connections to figure out what's going on and sometimes you don't.

Speaker 2 35:10

Yeah, I saw somebody very long, long ago, you know, say some real heartfelt thing about just real heartfelt about their friend. You know you could tell their friend had passed away. No idea, well, honestly no idea. If it was a friend, you know, relative had no idea. You know, it was just very so, you didn't. You know everybody was saying, oh, sorry for your loss, but no idea, and I think some people behind the scenes that's oh my gosh, did something happen to your husband. You know what I mean? That's just too vague for that kind of thing. Yeah, who was lost? Yeah, yeah, no idea.

Speaker 3 35:54

Yeah, yeah, it's weird I've mentioned before that I am facebook friends with somebody who asks for a lot of prayers for a wide variety of situations in their life. I'm not sure that facebook is a place for that. Here's my latest pet peeve On the Twitter the threads, the, whatever it is that you're on. Why do I have to follow eight of your posts? Why are you writing a mini novel that I've got to go through the thread of eight to get to the point? Yeah, I thought that we were limited to 108 characters 180 characters or something.

Speaker 3 36:51

That's a long gone, I know, but I think we should bring it back, yeah.

Speaker 2 36:58

People are blogging.

Speaker 3 37:00

Yes, as a post, and they don't do it in order. I don't want to read one through three and then go to seven if you're gonna do eight of them you better put them in order yeah, put them in order and number so I can follow which is which?

Top 10 Universal Pet Peeves

Speaker 2 37:15

yeah, right, yep, I, I get it okay. Well, of course I did research. Are we ready for the top 10? Yeah, and then we'll say if we agree or if we'll notice if any of them you know came across as we we match. So according to my ai that I asked the question, top 10 pet peeves number one loud chewing yeah or chewing with your mouth open.

Speaker 3 37:49

Just sometimes want to smack somebody mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 37:53

Number two people who are always late, so evidently that's why I brought that up. I think some people really are bothered by that. It's like, yeah, okay, number three slow walkers blocking the sidewalk. Oh yes, in the airport is about the only time I noticed, you know or a group of six walking side by side and taking up the entire sidewalk, whole thing. Yes, I feel like a sidewalk is two-way, just like a street, and you stay on the right.

Speaker 2 38:32

Yeah, you know if you have six people, you're gonna have to stagger right two, two, two. Yes, I agree. Yeah, there you go that those are good, that's a good one. Number four constant complaining whiners, whiners. That'd be irritating. Number five being interrupted mid-sentence the one-uppers do that a lot, yeah, um. Number six, which we didn't bring up but for, uh, grammar misusing there, there and there. You know um that happens in writing a lot. Number seven obnoxious phone conversations in public. Oh yes.

Speaker 4 39:19

Yes, yeah.

Speaker 2 39:24

When you have the person with the earbud in and they're blah blah blah.

Speaker 4 39:27

Yeah.

Speaker 2 39:29

They're so important. Yes, I know, yeah.

Speaker 2 39:32

That happens at airports a lot. That does happen in airports a lot, yes. Number eight people who don't use turn signals. Yeah, honestly, that peeves me less than the person when you get to like a four-way stop or two-stop and they don't know that it's their turn to go. I just always go, I stop and then I go because I figure you're going to take forever. You're on the right, you have the right way, but you're never going, so I'm going to go. Number nine leaving cabinets and drawers open.

Speaker 3 40:13

No, that doesn't bother me.

Speaker 2 40:14

Yeah, does Bill do that? Kitty, I do that and it bothers Bill. There you go, go. Yeah, I don't do that either.

Speaker 4 40:23

I wouldn't say barney does either but my rationale is that I'm not done in that cabinet, done yeah I will take.

Speaker 2 40:32

Yeah, you know, like if you're taking something out to use it and then you're going to put it right back, I get it. I would not shut the cabinet door and then open it back up. Yeah, yeah makes sense. This last one I thought was kind of funny number 10, and I can't imagine that it really is number 10, but they have microwaving fish in the office. Oh, but I would say, like microwaving any stinky stuff it doesn't have to be just fish. That is kind of annoying. Yeah, yep, there you go.

Speaker 4 41:04

Okay, Well, I think we had really good, interesting ones. I do too.

Speaker 2 41:11

I do too.

Speaker 3 41:13

It just proves that you know, some things don't bother us, Some things really bother us, yeah I feel better having just being able to express these get it off my chest, it's very cleansing, very cleansing, very therapeutic session tonight, ladies, thank you, and if someone out there listening needs some therapy as well and would like to share their big pet peeves, we would love to hear them.

Speaker 2 41:45

Um, share this episode with them and let them know what they're doing is annoying, right, and you can blame it on us.

Speaker 2 42:34
