    This thread is for venting about the minor irritants of everyday life.

    The times the world displeases you. The things that don't go quite the way they should. The people who don't behave the way you want them to. :D

    I want to hear about your pet peeves. :)

    It annoys me when I buy something that is marked "Dishwasher safe" on the website, and it arrives with the instruction "Dishwasher safe but hand-washing recommended."

    Why can't I find good dishwasher-safe pots? [​IMG]

    Aarghhh.. thank you for this space :) My peeve is incorrect usage of an apostrophe. Like I read a news article today "Girl's fare better than Boy's in xxx exam". I don't know why, but that just irritated beyond reason.

    Haha , thanks OP! I really need this:grinning:

    Went to library with DD to pick up books & the summer camp group of 50 kids made a simultaneous entry! Great timing :(

    It doesn't take much to tick off an impatient person like me:smirk:

    -Traffic jams
    -Long checkout queues
    -Impolite checkout person
    -hot weather over a weekend :weary:
    -long wait time in a restaurant
    -scrambling to get server's attention to get water refill/ chopped onions :tonguewink:
    -when clients think they are the only ones we work on & expect instant deliverables, that's my fav:tongueclosed:

    Haha I can keep good going on & on! As I said, it doesn't take much :nono::crybaby2::tonguewink:

    Well i did not get the actual mention of apostrophe which made the difference:) could be oversight, but what exams for boys were referred to in the text:)

    HAHAHAHAHA... and it did not strike me in the least bit the interpretation this might get. This has nothing to do with what's popularly referred to as "xxx"... I assure you. It was some Board Exam of some state....

    I am really embarrassed now!!!

    One of the Pet Peevee moments - When your boss says the task can be completed in 20 mins while it would actually take 2 hours and boss also knows that.

    This is called "heights of expectations" and if you are able to achieve it:), your next theme would be " Height of expectations part 2":)

    Dear Amica, Thank you for starting a much needed thread. Here goes mine,

    My boss is such an irritating creature. I hate working with him, whenever an important work is assigned to him he asks me to work with him to finish the task. He tells me “ Lahari, we will do it fifty-fifty (50-50)”. But at the end the ratio changes to 90-10 (I end up doing 90 percent of the work).:sob::mad:

    When I work hard keeping aside my work to help him, he leisurely reads newspapers, chats with his friends, calls his wife and what not he even watches short films, TV Shows on his smart phone and If I show even a little sign of irritation while working he gives this muft ka gyan Lahari, Love the work you do then you can do it easily.:BangHead:
    Sometimes he gives me a work and tells me that it is already 90 percent complete and all I need to do is to add a few things to it, but when I see it, it would be 90 percent incomplete.:(
