Dontcha just HATE...

post #1 of 147

Thread Starter 
Here's an idea for a new thread...

There are many things on a daily basis that peeve us... it might be a person, a snide remark or a caustic situation, so lets vent in 10 words or less about what it is that irks us! 10 words... no more! I mean we haven't got all day to read reams and reams of grievances!
Its harder than it might look! Your 10 words exclude the preface "Dontcha just HATE...".

The person to post next can respond to the post above, and then post their own peeve.

OK, so I'll begin.

Dontcha just HATE...

...feeling house-bound waiting for the post truck to arrive!

when I'm standing behind someone at the deli/store counter who's keeping the staff waiting while on their cell phone. (Sorry. I know it's more than ten words -- I just have major pet peeves about cell phone etiquette, or lack thereof.)

I'll add "without even trying it". When I talk about cooking Indian and Mexican food, so many, especially those with minimal exposure to it, are afraid it's going to have a cup of cayenne or the like in it, yet everyone I know who's tried one of my curries has enjoyed it and not had their mouth burnt, yet there are a number who've fled for the hills for fear of just that! ( Brits are better that way - they know what a curry is, though trying to convince some English folks that pumpkin pie isn't something arcane and dangerous was an amusing experience. )
