Honestly, is it really that hard to walk them into the kitchen and put them on the sink?<br /><br />Oh, and I really REALLY hate having to dodge people who are about to walk into me because they're too busy looking and/or texting on their phones! What is that about? <br /><br />LOL. I can see a whole slew of pet peeve posts coming up. :-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-35671234836591900322014-06-06T20:54:55.648+10:002014-06-06T20:54:55.648+10:00Completely with you, Barb, on the dishes left abov...Completely with you, Barb, on the dishes left above the dishwasher, and with Helen on the empty wrappers left above the garbage bin, and with Amy on the real book thing, and Alison on the slow internet... Gee, I must be a grumpy so-and-so.<br /><br />Oh and another pet peeve of mine...that nobody in the house seems capable of replacing an empty toilet roll with a full one. Am I really the only person in the house who knows how to do it?<br /><br /><br />Claire Baxterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17530298085910918421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-36091339979376761172014-06-06T15:53:06.987+10:002014-06-06T15:53:06.987+10:00Oooo, Barbara, peeves looks like just as much fun ...Oooo, Barbara, peeves looks like just as much fun as faves! LOL<br /><br />One of my pet peeves is rinsing dishes... if a dish has been used, it needs to be washed! That's WASHED with detergent and hot water (happy for it to be stacked on the "to be washed" side of the sink or put in the dishwasher), but please, not rinsed with a quick splash of cold and put on the clean dish rack! ARGH! <br /><br />Oh, and we're in an area of poor internet connection at the moment so I'm having fun with super slow connection! I have my fingers crossed that this comment will post and not do the spinning circle thing for 5 minutes and then comeback and tell me the connection failed!Sharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-76880995190828231162014-06-06T13:54:21.012+10:002014-06-06T13:54:21.012+10:00Barb, you've made me laugh - a lot. One of my ...Barb, you've made me laugh - a lot. One of my peeves happened to me this morning on my drive into Nelson. bad drivers. A car pulled out in front of me, drove at 20 kms under the speed limit because first the driver did her hair, then put on a hat, then finished dressing, and proceeded to pick things up from the front passenger's floor. when I finally came up beside her at a roundabout she was having breakfast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did I mention the difficulty she was having staying on the road?<br />Think I've ranted enough. Will keep my other grievances for another post. :) But then Helen mentioned another one that gets me going - empty plates in the fridge. Guess if they left there then no one has to take responsibility for washing them.Sue MacKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475372981173809219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-50227322266264197612014-06-06T13:49:56.093+10:002014-06-06T13:49:56.093+10:00-Dishwasher étiquette, people!

Especially when they've been sitting at the breakfast bar, watching me empty the sink of dirty dishes, stack them neatly and in orderly fashion and wipe down the benches. Like, what part of LEAVE THE KITCHEN CLEAN, don't they understand? <br /><br />Another pet peeve is people who don't indicate, especially on roundabouts. Grrr. <br /><br />Oh, and borrowing something of mine and not putting it back where they found it in the first place and then when I need it I have to go hunting!<br /><br />Grrr.
