Pet Peeves

I thought I'd share a few of my pet peeves. I'm not doing this to start an arguement. I just wanted to share my pet peeves.

1) Skinny jeans - no one looks good in skinny jeans on matter how good looking or thin you are.
2) People who feel the need to hug you every time you see them - If it's a cultural thing, then it is ok. Where I'm from, it's not cultural. I have a couple of friends that would hug me whenever I see them, but I have known them for over 10 years. I don't like having random people hug me or even for people that I do know to hug me. My family isn't the huggy type. I have actually told people not to touch me when they started to give me a hug.
3) Those shoes that look like ballet slippers but aren't ballet slippers - I don't know what they are called but they look like ballet slippers. It's bad enough that people where flip flops when they aren't very supportive of the feet, but these ballet looking shoes don't support the feet either. They may be comfortable but don't look like the kind of thing you should be wearing on a regular basis.
4) When people wear jeans and high heels - Wearing high heels with jeans doesn't make you more dressed up.
5) Wearing pajama bottoms in public - Unless your place of residence burned down in the middle of the night and burned all of your clothes, then there is no reason to wear pajama bottoms in public. If you want to be comfortable in public but don't want to wear normal clothes (jeans, pants/slacks, dress, suit) then wear sweat pants.
6) Jeans that show off the boxers/undies - It's just tacky. Enough said.
7) People who talk loudly while they are on the phone - I realize that there are some people who are just loud and they can't help it. My brother tends to talk loud, but not because he is seeking attention or hard of hearing. He has always been like that. What I am talking about are those people who walk in to a room talking on the phone and talk so loud that people in the other room can hear you.
8) When people wear too much perfume/cologne - It makes me sick to my stomach, especially the perfume that is floral scented. It is suffocating. Thankfully, I don't have problems with astma. If I did, it would be unbearable.
9) People assuming that every woman wants kids - I can't tell you how many times people, especially women, have told me that I will change my mind about having kids when I meet the right man or that having a baby is the best gift I can give a man. It makes me want to poke their eyes out. Having kids is a huge responsbility. Some may say that it is selfish to not want kids. But the first thing is that having kids is a huge financial responsibility. It's also emotionally, physically, and mentally draining. It can also put a damper on your relationship with your spouse. I realize that as I get older the chances of having a healthy baby decreases. I tell people that I am perfectly happy with being a cat mom. If a guy really wants to have kids, then I'm not the person for him. I mean, it's one thing to be with (date/marry) a guy that already has kids but if he wants more then I'm not the woman. Realistically, how many guys in there early to mid 30s are ok with not having kids. Besides, if they want kids, they'd probably want to get involved with someone in their early to mid 20s. I don't care why you chose to have kids. It's not my problem if your kids are terrible. You should discipline them. If you want to talk non-stop about what cute thing(s) your kid did or is doing, then be prepared to hear me talk about the cute thing(s) that my cat has done or is doing. My cat is my baby. She is treated better than most people treat their children. And my cat is better behaved than most children too. I'll stop writing about this particular pet peeve because it is my biggest pet peeve of all.

I'm sure I have others but I think I have listed enough. Feel free to share some of you pet peeves.

That's a lot of pet peeves confused
Field...Yes!!! A good Point you Raised there Somewhere ????confused doh
hug hug hug hug hug hug hug hug hug hug hug
There's not as many as it seems. It probably seems like that because I wrote a bit about it. Most of these pet peeves are really minor....just minor annoyances.
Hi, field!

Beware when you come to Brazil. We´re the huggy type people. hug It´s really cultural. Here hugs are something really natural. We feel the need of human contact. Skin to skin thing. I would be kind of frustrated if went to other country and people just do the shaking hands. I know it´s the right formal thing to do but even between friends? blues moping
Field...There is on think on your side though I like...You Leeeerve Blue Shirts!!!yay yay yay hug hug hug << More HUGS!!!yay yay yay
handshake bouquet wine
@Elmorya: I thought only in Brazil women did that. Horrible! laugh
@ Mysticalli ~ so maybe we learnt from yawl or the other way around! laugh Anyways, you're welcome to SA, you fit right in....
wink wink laugh laugh J/K! handshake hughug<....See,
I love hugging!!
@Elmorya: I need to buy more stockings for my hair before visiting you in South Africa. laugh

And you´re welcome in visiting Brazil anytime. We´re big huggers but beware of the Brazilian anacondas. (I referring to that poll) rolling on the floor laughing
I don't much care for the people who have to glom on to you like an octopus every single time they see you.I like my personal space respected.
I hate when people wear musk, that really turns my stomach.

Also looking at profiles on here that have no pics. Are you married and/or hiding from someone????
hey, field! I have a doubt. The "ballet slippers"... would they be those flat shoes? confused Like this one:

Stop sending demanding Mail!!!!rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing grin
@Elmoyra and Mysticalli - women do that here in the US too. I've never understood it but I guess sometimes you have to multi-task. dunno confused
Mysticalli - Yeah, if it's cultural, like in Brazil, then I'm ok with it. I prepare myself for things like that. I think that there are some places in the US that hug a lot. Of course, it may depend on your social ranking (social status). I guess it's more of the full on hugs that drive me crazy. It's ok every now and then (especially if you haven't seen each other in awhile), but not every single day (or each time you see each other even if it is more than once a day). I think that it's more common to do side hugs here in the US. hug <--- like this. If you hugged someone that you just met in the US, you might get a funny look. I don't think that they'd hit you though. We are a friendly bunch but I think people tend to leave hugs to happy times (graduation or pregnancy announcements) or sad times (like death). It's not really used as a "Hey. I'm glad to see you." Like, I said in my blog, I have few friends that are huggers and I have gotten used to it. I see them a few times a year and when I know that I am going to see them I prepare myself for a hug. handshake <--- this would work for me, but they prefer this ---> hug . They are my friends. It's just hugs from strangers or people that I barely know that makes me a little uncomfortable. Thanks for telling me about the hugging in Brazil. thumbs up
