45 Of The Pettiest Beliefs People In This Online Group Would Stand By, No Matter What

Some years ago a woman on the train was discussing her vaginal yeast infection with someone on the phone. Why would you think that's a good idea?

I agree. Don't understand the big deal about this over over over produced woman. She's made a few danceable numbers, but that's the extent of it in my book.

Upvoted for the 'fight me' comment. No fight. Just bow of respect

Does anyone think otherwise?

Yes, don't be a bum. Don't be lazy. Don't say it's someone else's job. Just do the considerate thing and put the damn cart back.

Corrected it "I will die on this hill over and over until my assembled corpse's make it into a slightly bigger hill."

This is absolutely NOT PETTY! Birds have been found to be picking up cigarette butts & trying to feed them to their young, or using them as nesting material.

How about we stop spitting on cakes in general?

Could've.

Not if you have cats.... 🐈

This is the one that bugs me the most.

THIS. As I’ve gotten older and watched the previous generation start to shuffle off this mortal coil, have beaten the big C in my late 20s and began to lose a few friends too early, I resolved that my time is the most valuable thing in my life. I semi-jokingly tell people that disrespect my or others’ time that I value it at a minimum of $60/hr. Stealing other peoples time is the worst. Not appreciating them when they gift you their time is entitled & inconsiderate.

I’ll never forget this… once I was trying to pass a man and woman with their cart at the end of a very long aisle. They were in the very middle. I couldn’t go around on either side of them. I said, “Excuse me.” No one budged. I thought perhaps they didn’t hear me. I said it again a little louder. The man looked at me and went to move the cart, but the woman grabbed it and said to him, “When I’m done.” That’s when I became “done.” I walked over to their cart, shoving it aside and pointing to the man with her, I said, “He may have to wait until you’re ‘done,’ but I don’t! I’m ‘done’ being polite. Move it!” She stared at me dumbfounded, while he told her, “You deserved that.” She looked at him and said, “Shut up.” And I continued shopping.

or smacking your mouth when eating ..makes me want to physically throttle someone .....

I walked away from a job because my arrogant supervisor would never leave me alone. Calling and texting all hours..never got time away from the job.

Just like the elevator!

I will refuse to move and will be the one who walks right into the middle of the flock .

Got a terrible migraine tonight, took a lot of medication so the headache was gone in the morning. I still felt like throwing up, but I did not want to stay home. In the hallway at work a woman walked in front of me who absolutely REEKED of sone terribly sweet perfume. That did not help with my already upset stomach...

"Discovered, not announced" - perfect way to put this!

When people continually wear a fragrance their nose becomes accustomed to the smell, and effectively blocks it out. They wear more and more of it to compensate. And thus become an olfactory grenade to us sensitive souls. If you are going to wear a fragrance, change it up every few days. That way you will only need a little. It will save your wallet, and the airways/heads of those who are not enamoured by it.

YES. My daughter's tongue swells up whenever she's gets a whiff of someone's marinade. It burns my nose and eyes. It has no business being in schools and the work place. If you smell it, everyone else can smell it 5x stronger.

When the scent arrives 5 minutes before you do, you know it's wrong!

Add to that Febreezt added to everything - plug ins that have funkified you, your car, your laundry soap/fabric softener... I can barely leave the house - even double masked, that d--n Febreeze cuts through. It is POISON. Honestly, any fragrance that I can smell (and taste) if I am not within 5 inches of you is going to close up my throat and give me a migraine. It is beyond rude.

Yes. No need for a vapour trail!

This...100% this!

It's not meant to be a marinade ...

If people bathe in scent I automatically think they're trying to hide their body odor or the fact they sht their pants. I love what I consider good scent whether it's in a perfume, cologne, eau d', sachet, solid, whatever...but NOBODY needs to BATHE in scent.

Agreed but people have different sensitivities. Once person's discover is another's announcement.

truth

We don't have perfume/candles in my house that gives my mom a migraine no matter what

I loathe the smell of vanilla perfume, but my dear co-worker would bathe on it every single time she leaves the office after work hours.

Some people marinate in their cologne/perfume as if it's going to attract a mate. It doesn't attract a mate, it extracts the vomit from me. Huge turn off.

One of the first lessons in nursing school. Don't wear scent to work.

Most workplaces today are scent/perfume free which is a good idea. A lot of people are sensitive to certain smells.

Some of us are allergic!

I think this can also go for people who are "holding". When weed first became legal in Washington, someone would walk by you and knock you on your behind because what they had was so strong.

J Baker - my mother had the 18” rule. If you were more than 18” away and could smell it, that was too much. I like your 6” rule much better.

Follow the 6" rule!

STOP using the word weaponize.

In Sweden there is a fine if you hug the left lane. Only problem iis that there is no one to enforce trafic laws.

I had my debit card declined at a gas station on a pay day, when my check was auto-deposited. Bank of America was right next door, so I popped inside. The teller very loudly berated me, saying my account had a hold put on it because I’d been “depositing” checks I’d written… immediately taking cash out of my account, knowing the checks were no good. The bank was giving me the cash, assuming the checks would clear. And I’d amassed more than $4000 this way. And the bank was going to press charges. By then, every customer in the lobby was staring at me, like I was scum of the Earth. Thoroughly embarrassed, I told the clerk to check again. Check MY account again. To look for those supposed deposit/withdrawals. Her face said it all. And in a low voice, that no one else could hear, she said, “I’m sorry. There’s obviously a mistake.” Loudly, I repeated, “YOU SAY YOU’RE MISTAKEN? IT’S NOT ME DOING THESE THINGS?” I withdrew all my money. Closed my account. And will not do business with them.

I hate this behavior. And what's up with walking around with the phone on speaker having a conversation? NO ONE cares what you are saying. Just put the phone to your ear like a normal civilized person.

I used piqued once in a conversation with a co-worker. Mind you, she had a college degree & I don't, but the woman had no idea what that word means! I had to rephrase my remark to "it caught my interest" before she understood.

It should be very simple, if it was alive and is now dead, it is meat, eating it means you are not vegetarian. no buts ands or ifs.

I am so glad this is listed. It is my absolute number one pet peeve. Why is it so often wrong?!

This, I dislike it when people give me the right of way when I don't have it. It confuses me and other road-users. I do not expect it, I expect I have to wait my turn, and then someone waves at me that I can go first, and I get confused and feel like I should hurry, and then if I go, I pay less attention to other stuff (like someone crossing the road next to me). There are exceptions - when it is really busy and you're on a side road, and there is no gap in sight to turn on the road as well. But not when there is no real need.

I caved and finally created a BP account just so I could up vote this one.
