Should today be renamed Narky Thursday? We certainly think so, after the morning we've had! We found a sign in DCU (see below) and it really, really annoyed Paula - her pet peeve is poor grammar and spelling. Mairead confessed that her pet peeve is dirty sinks, and Phil can't abide lazy parking. Charlie didn't actually have a pet peeve because he's so laid back...but the listeners of the Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show certainly had no problem in coming forward! Have a read below:
Phil, it annoys me when people say "pet peev"! We're not Americans!! Stop ruining hiberno-English!!
Phil my pet hate! I work in a shop and the amount of people who try to return underwear baffles me! It doesn't matter that it hasn't been opened or used! They still can't accept that you can't take it back! I end up telling them we don't sell second hand underwear...
Pet peeve is the mouth-noises of eating with mouth open, not the visual part (although that's not pretty)
People who put their feet on seats. Usually see this ignorant behaviour on buses, but recently saw someone doing it in Doctor’s waiting room. Makes my blood boil. Tracey, Malahide
People calling to my door with a clipboard and knowing they want my bank a/c number. Trying to shut it down quickly and they keep talking at me. 'It'll just take a sec, what we're actually doing is...' NO! NO! Stop it!
Work colleagues who butt into conversations you're having with someone else or answering questions that you are asked directly before you get to draw a breath. Grrrr from Valerie in Limerick
I work in a shop and my pet peeve is lack of or bad manners, it drives me to distraction and it’s not just kids and moody grunting teens. It crosses the age bracket. Rude Rude Rude. K
Another is the ATM machine when it gives an option it can't dispense. Eddie in Limerick
Pet hate - people who indicate right at a roundabout and go straight on. In which world is this logically correct?!!!! It's WRONG!! And don't even get me started at motorway drivers!! Faith
My pet hate...cyclists on footpaths!!!! Aargh! Lorraine from Dundalk
Pet hates: people who have to put their ATM card into the machine more than once
And Dizzielee in Laois just wants to bake cakes out of rainbows and sunshine...
Phil / u peeps need to chillax !! you can't control other peeps behaviour in respect of parking or looking for the purse in the handbag at the checkout ...so why let it annoy ya ? Life's too short to be feeling the heat for what other peeps are up to ... Will ya play some Bruce in the hope that he will be at croker in summer - peace and love man - Dizzielee in Laois xx
