as mentioned in my "ask me anything" thread, one of my pet peeves are cab drivers who cheat their customers (especially blind or deafblind customers).

In general I can handle it but a lot of the skiers here are very pushy and very rude. A lot of them are rich tourists from other countries who don't care what the locals think cause they're leaving in a few days or weeks anyway.

Ditto! Another one is cars that insist on letting you go. This makes me nervous cause it's happened so many times that they insist on letting me go and then I start and then they go. So I would rather they just go and then I know for sure there's no car about to go and then I can cross the street in peace.

Sounds like what I go through with people telling me that I cant be deaf cuz I can speak so well. Some people need to take some sensitivity lessons!

That drives me nuts. When I'm communicating with my girlfriend, I sign to her and she uses voice with me. People say I must be the deaf one and she must be the blind one cause I'm signing and she's speaking. They don't get that I'm signing for her because she's Deaf and she's using voice for me because I'm blind. And then they use "but you're signing" as a reason for why I can't be blind, and "but you're talking" as a reason for why she can't be deaf.

That sucks.

Next pet peeve: Only getting two hours of sleep...
 
People that inject hostility into every utterance and then wonder why you feel attacked.
 
People licking their hands.

(as for example when I seen Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake keeps licking his hands back and forth during the game.)
 
People who litter. I saw a guy throw a bag of McDonald's out the window with all the soda cups, napkins, sandwhich wraps flying out.
 
frigid winter weather (it's -20 wind chill here with temperatures in the single digits).
 
One of my pet peeves is whenever I bump into a friend at a store, The first thing they will say is "Did you hear.... blah blah blah."

I'm like "Uh, Why are you asking me this? Don't you have anything better to talk about other than passing around the rumors?" :roll:

Football quarterbacks lick their FINGERS (not hands) for a reason.

This quote also brings me to a major pet peeve of mine: using the first name of famous people as if they are acquaintances on a personal level.

good morning sosie! <smile>

being unable to sleep is another pet peeve of mine. i've been having trouble sleeping over the past few days, so i know what you're going through. (i normally have trouble sleeping when i'm manic due to bipolar, but that wasn't the cause of my sleeplessness this time around.) i finally "crashed" yesterday afternoon and fell asleep again last night around 2 AM my time. LOL!

a *major* pet peeve of mine are people who wear way too much cologne or perfume.

Good morning, Hear Again, sorry for not replying you the other day. I mentioned earlier in other thread. So, you will know. Smile! *wink*

LOL... I am sorry to hear that you were not able to sleep for the past few days but I am glad that you finally got a good sleep! Smile! (I was not able to sleep well for the past week as well... Now, I am more relaxed... )

I am sorry to tell you and other ad'ers about deafblind's rides, etc but that's my pet peeves. I was so frustrated because I can't stand to see them being left alone in the strange town, etc.. I feel like that I want to give the cab driver a black eye when I see him...

Me, too, people who wear way tooooo much cologne or perfume that gives me a headache. I can't stand the strong smell. Argh!!!
