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...

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.

I was struck by lightning while I was lightening my hair.

What if you are on the ground floor of a building?

Irregardless of your point, irregardless is still a correct term and can still be used irregardless of your feelings.

Also make note of the part of the world you are in! We don't all drive on the right side!

Should I use my PI number when I am at the AT machine?

Just use 24hr clock. 06:00 = 6 am. When talking, it's 6 in the morning or 6 in the evening. (and when writing, we write 18:00 but say 6)

I hope this guy and his ziplocs will be very happy together.

One very notable exception: for "will you marry me?" you should already know the answer and don't have much business asking it if you don't.

Sorry can be said as an apology or in empathy.

Stop the car and kick them out. A passenger road raging on 'your behalf' is stupid and dangerous.

If the item is counted, use "fewer." If the item is measured, use "less."

Keep your enemy fighting amongst themselves so you can defeat them. Classic British colonial strategy.

The only time I put the milk in first is when I don't have much left, it's easier to judge how much cereal the milk will hold.

Yeah acronyms are way overused

OMG I have hated with a moist, hot passion the whole "Jlo", "Kfed", "Jlaw" etc c**p for decades now

Almost as bad as using the word 'acronym' when you just mean an initialism...

I hate to admit this but I come across so many acronyms online that I now have a list on my phone with their definitions.

I have to Google everything. I'm old.

Also, don't use the specialized lingo of your profession when talking to someone not in your profession.

Best acronym, from a list our emergency road crews used: DODI - Dead One Did It.

That staged setting requires the football team, preferably shirtless, not a gaggle of waifs.

You obviously don’t work for the government

TLAT or SWTROS aren't acronyms. NASA, SCUBA, SCOTUS... are acronyms because they are pronounced as written.

I hate it when they find a word they WANT to make into an acronym, so they can have a cool "name" so they try oh so, so very hard to shoehorn words into making it that way. The kid downstairs used to have a Deth Metal band named R.U.I.N.E.D. and they came up with "really unhappy I never ever died" as the meaningful meaning behind this. I said why don't you just call yourself "Ruined" I got 5 blank stares.

In hospitals they're used constantly. I've worked in three different departments, and BS has meant something different in all three (Blood Sugar, Braden Score and BlommeSæk (yolk sac) ), plus we all know what ELSE it means. It just creates unnecessary confusion when you're new and someone asks what the BS is...... 😉

I'm so glad this didn't catch on before. BSB sounds much dumber than BackStreet Boys.

But those aren’t acronyms…they are initialisms. An acronym is when the initials create a pronounceable word. SCUBA is an acronym, IBM is an initialism (so is BTS).

The company I work at uses quite a number of acronyms that we have a site built just to show their meaning

Love seeing random pictures of BTS, though. I have worked for NASA for more than 30 years, though, so I hear you on acronymx.

yes, using too many acronyms is fubar.

Oxford comma 4 life.

If the Earth was flat there would be nothing at the border/edges because cats would have pushed it all off
