    The junk lenses, with endless links are still learning experiments for the lens masters....that's what makes squidoo great, it's free and you can experiment all you want.

    Great Lens, very meaty; and yes I agree with your Squidoo Pet Peeve, there a way too many Lame Lenses out there and I really don't feel good about "Squid Liking" them (just because someone has visited your Lens/es and liked them). I've been getting selective as of late; and that's part of the reason I don't care for some of the "Squid Quests" that seem to encourage Lame Lenses, I try not to buy in. I've been on Squidoo since 2006 and only have 20 Lenses (by choice). Kudos to you!

    I live at the foot of a hill and one of my pet peeves are drivers who stop at the intersection at the foot of the hill for no apparent reason. The stop sign is facing the other direction of traffic so my only conclusion is that these people are drivers who need to review their license as they don't seem to know the rules of the road. Grrr...nothing worse than starting at the foot of a hill from a dead stop. What a waste of gas.

    Great lens! Many of my pet peeves are listed here. One of them though, I did not see and that is people using the Lord's name in vein. It bothers me because it is rude. To me, I frankly do not care if you believe in God or Jesus Christ... that is your choice, but have a bit of respect for the people around you who may. This especially erks me when it is said around elders and small children.

    My pet peeve: While driving the speed limit, vehicles come close up behind me or I see them doing it to someone else. They want you to move over into the other lane. I usually will move over but If I am turning left soon I will not. If we ever had to stop fast, there surely would be an accident. A lot of drivers in Canada do this ... it's plain rude and dangerous to boot.
  • kitty222 Jan 15, 2012 @ 1:53 pm | delete
    Totally enjoyed your Lens. Since I spend so much time here on Squidoo, the so-called "Lensmasters" who produce nothing but subpar Lenses with loads of links is also a pet peeve for me. I like ones like this where it's obvious that you put some time and thought into it.
  • Holysheepskin Jan 12, 2012 @ 9:06 am | delete
    How fun is this lens! My biggest pet peeve is probably when people say what? and then answer you...why do that? obviously you heard me! The other is kids with no manners!
  • favored1 Jan 11, 2012 @ 3:04 pm | delete
    P.S. You should write your book "I Only Wanted An Simple Life". It would make an interesting read. Don't give up on the idea.
  • favored1 Jan 11, 2012 @ 3:02 pm | delete
    Some of the same pet peeves. One more for me is when you are at a stop light and the car next to you has their music so loud you can hear it even with your windows closed. My husband can't stand it when a person stays out in the passing lane and doesn't move over so others can pass.
  • hlkljgk Jan 11, 2012 @ 12:27 pm | delete

    This was funny and I imagine over time, a long time, it may take an hour to read it all! My pet peeve is political parties playing dirty pool. I wish they would respect those of us that know what they are doing and quit catering to the petty folks that love the stuff. That would be an interesting poll
  • MysticTurtle Dec 19, 2011 @ 6:32 pm | delete
    Wow, I agreed with a lot of those! But I think my top peeve is businesses (especially restaurants) that blast the air conditioning. If I go anywhere, I have to wear a jacket year-round. That's ridiculous!

  • whiteskyline Dec 16, 2011 @ 11:10 am | delete
    I find it interesting that this is your top lens. Then again, I was pulled in by the title through curiosity.

    I must admit, some of these gave me a little giggle, and I agree with them too.

    recently over here in the US, they tightened the reigns on cell phone usage while driving.

    I remember a tad over 10 years ago a phone in a car that wan't hooked into a wire was a pipe dream, which reminds me of Louis CK talking about people upset over a malfunction of something they didn't know existed 10 seconds ago.

    Back to the phones in cars, that should be a no brainer in my opinion.

  • SheWritesaLot Dec 2, 2011 @ 9:41 am | delete
    I really like this lens - Monty Python rocks! I don't know the name of the module you used for listing your own pet peeves and what you say when you're peeved (Plexos??) but this is the first lens I've seen that uses those modules in a great way. Most are nothing but links but your actually has real, live content! Kudos! Blessings

    Great lens. My pet peeves generally relate to driving. People here in Brisbane, Australia never let you in when you are trying to get onto a motorway. They make the English seem like the most courteous drivers in the world. Still, we don't have much traffic so I shouldn't complain!.

    The older I get the more opinionated I get and I kind of like it. Not the first visit and not the last, liked your section on green belt land and with all that's going on at the minute in the UK it's very relevant. To add to your car peeves, men who drive in hats!!! If you get behind a man who drives in a hat then beware it's going to be a long day. Great work, does this count towards my anger management program?

    I am so tempted to leave a totally lame, meaningless comment, just for fun. But than I couldn't tell you that my MIL actually told me that she was the only one in her neighborhood that understood how to use the new roundabout. She then explained it is for only one car at a time based on who arrived first. She gets so annoyed that no one else will wait their turn. Her reply to my explanation "They must do the different in NZ, here in the US it is only one car at a time." I had to bless this lens - it is awesome!

    my sister is a school teacher and every year without fail there are some poor kids in her class with crazy names. last year she had a kid named "daEndofThis" (really, I'm serious). I guess they were trying to say that was the last kid they'd have. there were a few others I can't remember, equally strange. she just started school this year so I'll have to ask if she got another kid named "nuestro senor jesucristo" (our lord jesus christ...yes, really) like the other year!

    The late William Safire (known in the US as a word expert), used to say he wanted to buy a dog and name it "Peeve," just so he could say, "This is my pet, Peeve."

    A very thorough list of pet peeves. People standing too close to me a big pet peeve, and people talking on cell phones while driving, and oh, don't get me started!

    great lense. one of my pet peeves is when people say they are going to do something and it never gets done until you do it yourself of course.
  • stargazer90 Apr 12, 2011 @ 12:26 pm | delete
    Great lens! At the top of my list are people who text when you're having a conversation with them! That truly bugs me! Not only are they being rude, they are hinting that you are not as interesting as the other person they are texting. Unless it's an emergancy, don't do it around me! lol! Dating articles say that you should never text when you're on a date, why can't this common courtesy be extended to other situations?
  • lizziehumphreys Apr 8, 2011 @ 8:47 am | delete
    haha awesome lens! :) one of my favourites! people who can't spell or speak properly are top of my list - especially when people say or type "I should of done that" rather than "I should HAVE done that". UGH!
    and definitely my close second is parents that tell their kids off in public for absolutely EVERYTHING!

    Haha! This lens was hilarious! I don't even like dogs, but the dog pet peeve list made me crack up!! And you and I are two birds of a feather...most of my pet peeves involve BAD DRIVERS!
  • ChrisDay Apr 2, 2011 @ 11:47 pm | delete
    I have to agree with you on so many of these peeves. I drive a huge mileage and so may drivers get up to some very funny tricks. However, I refuse to let them get under my skin - I have to drive my own machine safely and joining in with the roadrage thing is not safe.
    One of my pet peeves is the person answering the telephone in an empty voice saying like an automaton: "can I help you" - judging from the voice and lack of 'engagement', I reckon it's not very likely!

    When I worked in Indiana, one receptionist was so nasty and rude to people calling in that it deterred them. The two we have where I work now are completely the opposite. When they broadcast a message across the intercom, it's like they have been taking happy pills, it's a pleasant change in this age os robotic voices.
  • Kandy_O Apr 1, 2011 @ 1:32 pm | delete
    Great lens! I have to admit, people have called me out on being too sensitive about people not parking between the lines given to them. I mean is it really that hard? People are allowed do-overs to get it right a second or third time. Use them! = )

    I loved this lens! I've actually got tears in my eyes from those Monty Python skits. (I've also used Monty Python in a lens - it adds such cheer!). I honestly couldn't choose "just one" pet peeve on your list that aggravates me most... You did such a thorough job!

    Actually, I think that this lens is as educational as it is funny - if someone recognizes a behavior of their own on the list, it may make them think twice next time! Especially those cell-phone ones. :)

    I tried to think of a unique peeve, but you truly covered them for me! Great lens!

    Odd as it may seem, this lens brought a bright spot to my day which had been blighted by street spitters, coffee shop hogging (one woman taking up four comfy seats for herself, her laptop, and her handbag and coat), loud mall music and hordes of people with poor personal hygiene. Misery loves company, they say, but I think it's just nice to know there are a lot of people who agree some behaviour is just nasty. Bless you, you peevish thing, you.
  • best_intentions Mar 19, 2011 @ 6:57 pm | delete
    This is exactly what I needed to read right about now! I have a few pet peeves myself...people who pace, pen clickers, televisions that are left on all the time...just for background noise, newsletters from my kid's school that are riddled with poor spelling and grammar. I am stopping myself now as I could carry on for quite some time on this topic. Anywho, thanks for the laughs!

    The weird kid names reminds me of something a teacher once told me. She said she had twins in her class named Orangejello and Lemonjello. Spelled like "orange jello" and "lemon jello" but pronounced oh-RON-juh-low and le-MON-juh-low. According to Snopes this is an urban legend and it may be but the teacher said it with a straight face. Great lens.

    Hey, Tony. I think I could probably write my own lens about pet peeves. We older folks get irritated easily. LOL Seriously, this is a great lens. I greatly enjoyed the weird names parents give their kids. I think one of the most outrageous I ever heard about was Bill Lear (of Lear Jet fame, of course) who named his son KING and his daughter Chanda. Talk about a nut case!

    You just made my day! Of all the things I enjoyed in this lens, the top ten things that annoy the dog about humans has my vote for the funniest. I have tears streaming down my face from laughing so hard, because as I am reading the 10 things, I visualize the stares I get from my dogs on occasion, that given a choice I would have to refrain from interpreting for fear of being insulted. Absolutely fantastic, and so incredibly clever. Too close to the truth for comfort, I think.

    You know when summer begins in my neck of the woods when the ice cream trucks keep rolling by blasting their inane jingles. The law in NYC clearly states drivers of these vehicles must turn off the jingle when they make a stop. Apparantly, they just ignore the law and frnakly the city seems reluctant to enforce the law.

    I hate to be a spoiler, here, (and I know you all are having fun) but look at it this way: If I allowed everything on the lists here to annoy me, I would have no peace of mind.

    Plus I would be allowing what other people do--or not do--dictate my happiness. I say Never!! to that!

    As a nurse, I trained my self to look at annoying idiosyncrasies as somehow characteristic of that person, (patient) and therefore, precious.

    Don't you want your nurse to see you that way, too?

    Sure I get annoyed. But I look at the annoyance as a signal that I am not looking at the Divine inherently there, but invisible to me.

    BTW, thought provoking lens, obviously!! High Five!!

    I am mostly a positive person, but sometimes we just have to vent! Having lived other places, I think we here in So.

    Funny, I was thinking up a list of pet peeves while exercising today. I thought of so many, I came home a did a Squidoo search to see if there were any pet peeve lenses out there (expecting there would be) and found this one. Ya had me nodding quite a bit. I do have to go back up to the list, though, and add one: people who eat raw onions and then go to the gym. Yuck! There was a girl in Jazzercise this morning whose breath nearly knocked me on my tooshie. Anyway, whenever I'm feeling cranky because someone did something on my peeve list, I'll come back here and make sure you've got it on the list. :)

    I like what someone said about people who park their shopping carts in the middle of the aisle. I have to push the cart to the side. Sometimes, they'll say "Oh,I'm sorry" in an innocent tone (if it's a woman--a guy will want to punch me out). If you're so sorry then why do you do it?

    I love the peeves a dog has about humans! That was hilarious! My biggest pet peeve other then motorists blocking crosswalks are the people who are in a store on their cell phone talking to someone and trying to make a purchase at the same time. That's just plain rude.

    Pretty much the only thing that bugs me is people who talk too much. I think there are a lot of people out there who love to hear their own voice, and they assume I am interested in their inane banter. I'm really not as cynical or judgmental as I sound, it's just the one thing that really bugs me - but it's EVERYWHERE. UGH!!! okncalmdown

    On the topic of cellphones... Personally, I don't like the fact that when you have one, people expect to reach you 12/7 and get an answer to whatever question they might have immediately. I sometimes wish to take a holiday on an uninhabited island or something along those lines :)

    I will feign ignorance for many of my pet peeves, because any of my buddies reading this would immediately and gleefully "test my limits" on them while laughing maniacally! It is, however, fortunate that my vehicle is not equipped w/ mounted ordinance like the twin 120 mm cannons on the new Leopard 2 tanks. If so, I would be in the pen for having already eliminated from the gene pool all of those inconsiderate b...ards who fail to understand the courtesy of following the law that says, "Slower traffic keep in the right lane!" You know who you are!! It's not that hard to move over when faster traffic is using the left lane and it's just common courtesy! Of all the laws enforced on the highway, special emphasis should be placed on a "common courtesy" law!

    I share many of your pet peeves. One of mine: people using cell phones in the gym. It's hard enough to get motivation to be there, so I shouldn't have to listen to someone shouting on their cell phone the whole time I'm on a treadmill or while I'm trying to concentrate to lift weights (especially since it is against the gym rules).

    The biggest pet peeve of all? When you're working in Microsoft Windows and another app pops up in your face and you lose your keystrokes, or you accidentally click on something and who knows what happened! And I have to stop everything and find the correct app again. This is one of those problems that Microsoft just can't seem to fix, ever, in any version. Ok, I'm done. Nope, not angry, just a little peeved. :)

    Yeah, I totally agree with the cell phone addiction people seem to have. I don't even own one of those things, because, frankly, I hate talking on the phone and I don't want to be "on call" 24/7. I don't like the cell phone driving thing, and I hate to see a family eating out with their children, and they don't even talk to their kids, they are too busy on the phone all the time.

    There are roundabouts in Vegas that are poorly engineered (too small). It's like the dopey road designers didn't understand the concept. The old, spacious roundabouts are safe and easy for drivers to understand. It's great to read about all the peeves I have on common with others.

    Another one (for me anyway) perhaps engulfs the wider picture of today's living or peoples attitude. Basically impatience - why can't people wait their turn, when in a queue that is what the queue is for - to simply take your turn not to try and get in front. Garage forecourts while waiting for petrol, the stupid system at mcdonalds where if you choose the wrong cashier you are there twice as long as someone who walked in 10 minutes after you, why do people always want to be in a rush !!!!!! Apologies but thats that off my chest on this Sunday morning and I cant hang about with everything to get done today (lol)

    Can relate to most of these things, especially people using mobile phones while driving. It's been illegal for some time in the UK but it's incredible how many people one can still see doing it on a daily basis. I'm afraid, however, that I would make it a total ban - including the use of hands-free. It is still a distraction, even when the phone is not physically held.

    After all, we managed before these devices became popular...!

    Great, thought provoking lens.

    The other day I was driving with a young collegue, she was driving and the trip was about 40 minutes each way. When the phone rang, not only did she answer it, thereby risking my life as she's driving on the highway while talking with the other hand, but carried on a conversation, laughing and joking for most of the trip! Like I wasn't there.

    Then she did the same thing on the way back!

    Nice one Poddys. 5*s. Roundabouts - the most stupid thing I have ever seen on a large roundabout (and it was in Poole, which you know so well), was the person who missed their exit and then REVERSED on the roundabout to get back to the exit they wanted - think about it!

    Then there's the shop assistant. You have been queuing for 10 minutes. It gets to your turn. The phone starts ringing and they answer the blasted phone and allow the person on the phone to jump the queue! Maybe you should start a Pet Peeves group - would be great therapy for more people to do a similar lens.

    I haven't been back in a while. I've added a few more above. My latest peeve is neighbours who don't have filters. That's all I'm going to say.

    After spending parts of my summer and every waking hour since the first of August helping open a new school, I've added a hundred items to my pet peeve list. Its been a rough haul. Reading this and flipping through one of your jokes lenses helped.
    Thanks

    Fun to read about people's pet's peeves. They are all so different.

    Someone calling me to talk and being interrupted by five other calls they receive (never emergencies). Leaving me for a couple of minutes, or forgetting I was the one they called!!
  • Williamnihillart Aug 15, 2008 @ 7:42 pm | delete
    This is aggrivating, and I find it a lot: "On the subject of Squidoo, lenses that are just a list of links and nothing more...". I usually just pass these by. Nice work!
  • CleanerLife Aug 11, 2008 @ 5:51 pm | delete
    Great Lens! Let it out!
    One thing I don't see... How about being the person talking to the person who is driving while on their cell phone? The call is so important, but they couldn't pull over and focus on the conversation?

    Worse yet... what if they are a borderline road rager, giving me rants on all the other drivers around them in-between talking to me?! ARRRRGGGHH!!!

    My biggest pet peeve of all time: when people are trying to park in a parking lot and will idle their car backing up traffic waiting for a spot that is only 2 or 3 spots closer than one that's open. It's like some weird game with people - "hey, I win at life if I get a good parking space". It's beyond a pet peeve even, it just cheeses me off. *I* make a point to go straight as an arrow to a farther space just to take advantage of the extra excercise opportunity.

    How can anyone who loves a child want to inflict such damage on them as to name them Fifi Trixibelle or some of those other atrocities? Uniqueness if fine but geez! I'm banking on seeing a lot of lawsuits by teens who are suing their parents over the names they were saddled with for so many years.
  • mulberry Jul 26, 2008 @ 12:42 pm | delete
    One day they will crack the mystery as to how cell phones suck the common sense and courtesy out of people but until then I would be satisfied if they would pull the plug on automated call trees so that companies are forced to actually speak to you. Now where did I lay my handgun?
  • Webcodes Jul 25, 2008 @ 2:42 pm | delete
    Great lens 5*, my pet peeve is when people belch in front of others.

    I thought this was a great lens, something I can definitely identify with :)

    One of my Pet peeves, is when someone says they're going to do something & then they don't!!! GGGGGRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Treasures-By-Brenda Jul 9, 2008 @ 8:11 pm | delete
    I am a calm, patient type of person but it really bothers me when people talk on their cell phones while driving. Often it is that person that is doing something dangerous or who is totally unaware of what is going on around them.

    I work retail and my pet peeve is people that walk into my store on their cell phones and ignore me. People have lost their manners. Isn't there a cell phone signal zapper??
  • WhippetTalk Jul 8, 2008 @ 1:41 pm | delete
    The number ONE peeve of mine is the driving while on your cell phone one. I am so nervous around those people who swerve into your lane and cut you off or drive too slow because they are way to busy having a conversation instead of driving! GRRRRRRR!
  • Colorfulscene Jul 8, 2008 @ 12:59 pm | delete
    Great lens! thanks for visiting mine.! Rolled too by the way, and faved. 5 sTar lens!

    Oh boy, don't get me started. I think maybe I need to start my own pet peeve lens. You've covered some really good ones here.
  • enslavedbyfaeries Jul 5, 2008 @ 11:15 pm | delete
    I think this might be a great form of therapy! Everyone should make a list like this and get their frustrations out. Nicely done and very funny stuff. p.s. I think you may have been driving around on some of the same roads as my dad, sorry about that, lol.
  • amandaquerque Jul 1, 2008 @ 4:18 pm | delete
    I agree with people talking at concerts and movies. It drives me batty. Went to a concert last week with a friend and she kept wanting to talk. GRRRRR My children KNOW not to speak to me while I am trying to watch something. Fun lens! 5*****
  • Amanda_Blue Jul 1, 2008 @ 2:58 pm | delete
    Another very original lens by you, Poddy (minus the s). I added owners who let their aggressive dogs roam off the leash as one of my pet peeves, and must say that people who talk too much are also high on my list (although I sometimes do that myself.) 5 whopping stars. Best to you.
  • Spook Jun 27, 2008 @ 3:04 pm | delete
    My pet peeve amongst others too numerous to mention is people who can't drive on there side of the road. Honestly believe that this causes more accidents than people in the world while they drive by, completely oblivious that they were the cause
  • NancyOram Jun 25, 2008 @ 6:59 pm | delete
    Very creative lens topic. Everyone can relate. Most of mine are already here, but I hate the drug company commercials on TV.
  • animal_lover79 Jun 24, 2008 @ 8:11 pm | delete
    I can't stand rude store clerks who act like you are bothering them for buying something.

    One of my biggest pet peeves is people who don't hold the door for others. Didn't their mothers teach them manners? Great 5-star lens!
  • ThomasC Jun 21, 2008 @ 10:44 pm | delete
    My pet peeve is people who make lists of pet peeves!

    Ok I'm joking but those words sure are good keywords to add here for ya!
    Loved your lens on pet peeves and have given you ***** and a fav! Great work!

    Poddy, thanks. I needed to see this lens. Drivers and cells phones is my big thing.....now I feel like I am not the only one. Great lens.
  • Teddi14 Jun 13, 2008 @ 12:30 am | delete
    Funny! I drive in congested traffic everyday for 30 minutes with STUPID, unfocused, cigarette smoking, eating, phone talking drivers. I arrive at work stress and feeling like I am going to have a heart attack. Then I go through it all again on the drive home. I come home just bitching about the drivers. I have always joked that I am going to start to document my daily drive. Now that I am on Squidoo I can actually do it. Thanks for reminding me of that. I gave you 5 stars and favorited you.
  • kellylowe Jun 10, 2008 @ 4:45 pm | delete
    I absolutely LOVE this lens. You hit the nail right on the head in many areas, and it is amazing that some of my pet peeves are also pet peeves of other people. I'll definitely be a frequent visitor. Fav 5 Stars
  • BigGirlBlue Jun 5, 2008 @ 7:52 pm | delete
    I think this lens is awesome. I can't believe how much we all have in common. So... what do people who do these things complain about I wonder. My latest peeve is those who park in front of the doors to run in when there is a parking spot 10 feet away. I also hate when people chat up the cashier when there is a huge lineup. Oh! and people who email me to tell me I misused it's/its in my email. It's an email, not a bloody essay. And they preface... I hope you don't mind. If you have to say that then you know it is going to annoy someone. Ok, I'm done.
  • PleasantValley Jun 5, 2008 @ 9:51 am | delete
    I like this lens because it is not annoying! Five stars for the unique topic.

    A woman pulled out in front of us yesterday... and she was on her cell phone. Definitely with you on that one... and most of the others if truth be known. Restaurants and noisy kids comes in a second... but have to admit there was a family with a two/three year old at a steak restaurant on Friday night (I was expecting the worst) and she was as good as gold and her little face could melt your heart. *****
  • poddys May 18, 2008 @ 9:02 pm | delete
    I think that's one reason why I created this lens, just to check if I am out there on my own (and sometimes I'm way out there...), or whether there are other people who get aggravated by the same things as I do. Seems there are - comforting isn't it...
  • chefkeem May 18, 2008 @ 8:43 pm | delete
    You got my pet peeves pretty much covered here. It feels already better knowing that I'm not alone with my complaints. Now let's make sure that all those people read this lens! *****
  • gurneywagon May 16, 2008 @ 3:04 pm | delete
    Great sounding board! My pet peeve: people who interrupt me...I always say to them: "excuse me for talking while you were interrupting" :) I appreciate your lens and you as well for having posted a note in my guest book! Thanks :)
  • CherylK May 16, 2008 @ 8:33 am | delete
    What a great idea for a lens! I agree with all your pet peeves, actually. I love children, but children who are not well-behaved and whose parents do nothing about it ranks pretty high on my list. Also, the talking loud in public on cell phones is extremely annoying.
  • poddys Apr 29, 2008 @ 10:18 pm | delete
    I mostly dislike web sites that have sound, I agree they are very annoying. My Space is like that too. If someone selects to have sound on their My Space page, it's on by default, so you have to turn it off. Click on one of their friends, visit their page, go through the whole ordeal of stopping the sound on their page, then return to the previous page and the music starts again... I just get fed up with it after a while, it drives me away...
  • ladystrange Apr 29, 2008 @ 9:52 pm | delete
    Very clever, nice job thinking outside the box. 5 stars.A few of my pet peeves; Marketing videos, why do they have to be so boring-they oughta have toilet paper hanging out their pants or something so will pay attention, and how come every Biz Op wants you to conference call, waste your minutes and run up your phone bill, Why not a chat room? Oh yeah, those websites that actually have sound. Ill be watching TV with Family and surfin traffic exchanges, then a sudden blaring blabber mouth, Okay I am done for now.

    Oh yeah, those pink hands free sets work well, I got one for my daughter for Christmas. At first when I heard her blabbing on this thing in her room and bathroom, I thought she was going crazy or snook someone in.
  • Artster63 Apr 14, 2008 @ 12:34 am | delete
    Right on target. My first entry on my lense and blog is about someone driving, on the phone and trying to drink some water (or at least I think it was water) all at the same time. Aarrgh.

    I'm with you are the cell-phone peeves. I carry a phone for emergencies, but I like being out of touch. My students have to turn off thier cell-phones during school hours. You would think we were asking them to cut off thier right arm!
    Great lens! *****

    My pet peeve, at the moment: To Catch a Thief in under 40 days tells you more about it. Great lens.
  • fledgling Mar 6, 2008 @ 3:35 am | delete
    Great Lens! Pet Peeves? How much time do you have to listen Ha Ha! Some of mine are, trying to get a REAL person on the phone, not a computer, arrogant service providers (phone, cable etc.) who keep charging us more, and giving us less! cashiers who talk instead of getting your items scanned quickly.....

    I agree Tony about the cell phones. I talk on mine a lot in the USA - you still can in most places, but I think I am pretty safe - the traffic is lower than in the UK, and I drive an automatic, but still there are some idiots out there who just don't pay attention. I would be quite happy for them to make it legal only with a handset. It's not as if they are expensive. Thanks for the feedback.
  • tonyab Feb 14, 2008 @ 8:13 pm | delete
    I left an item on the list about people who drive while holding their cell phones. Thanks for visiting my lens and for the nice comment! (I'm a Warcraft lover too.) 5 stars - I love this lens. Gives folks a chance to vent a bit.
  • poddys Feb 13, 2008 @ 5:55 am | delete
    Thanks for the feedback and for adding your pet peeves. Now all we need to do is get the word out about this lens and I think it will take off of it's own accord once the list gets larger.
