^^^ that definitely comes under the heading of non religious pet peeves  ;D
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.

Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

Elderly relatives who are close to hitting 90, unstable on their feet, and more than very stubborn... who come into your home, announce that they don't like the way you've arranged your personal belongings, and proceed to shift everything around to their liking, before going back home.  ::)

I now have to re-arrange my computer room, my daughter's bedroom, and my kitchen.

If I could figure out how to change the locks on the house without a war in the family starting, I'd do so in a flash.

When I have to get up very early for a meeting with someone that they've either forgotten, blown off, or mistaken the time of. *yawn* Grrr.

People who wrongly park in a disabled space just after I've nobly driven past and not abused it.  Ditto mother-and-baby spaces.

Agreed. I know the mother-and-baby spaces can be a contentious issue, but I really appreciated them when I was 8+ months pregnant. Waddling for extended periods of time gets quite uncomfortable.

You need to expand on this.
I think animals. Feel. Like. Animals.

My moms boyfriend got cows to raise over summer and they said how cruel he was to raise them just to kill them. Then they went on to say that the cows will be scared because they will know about being killed. Cows just sit in a field and eat grass all day. I highly doubt they are fearful of anything.

I understand your annoyance.

True story: as a kid, I was riding in the car with my parents, and my mom was staring out the window, looking out into the farmland fields around us. I asked her what was on her mind. She responded "I wonder what those cows are thinking!" and I said "I don't think they're thinking much!" and she went on a long ramble about how boring it would be, to be a cow.  :D

Here, to make you smile: If cows COULD think like humans....

That last post reminded me how much I like Chik-Fil-A, but that I can't eat there without feeling guilty knowing that they actively donate to bigoted hate groups like Focus on the Family.  And also that I almost always will crave Chik-Fil-A on Sunday, when they are of course not open.  So maybe this is actually a religious pet peeve...?

Thanks for the laugh Amicale. I guess I'm just tired and grumpy today.  :D

Yes! They also need to learn that green meddlers don't think like people. And things that don't think like people, they be food unless they be rodents.  >:(

When an individual completely agrees with an outline/content/fee-structure and then, when I send them the first draft, decides that they would like literally twice as much work done for free. *grumble* *grumble*

It annoys me when I am watching television shows and they are poorly edited.

It annoys it when people tap on desks..
So many years have passed, since I proclaimed my independence, my mission, my aim, and my vision, so secure, content to live each day like it's my last, it's wonderful to know, that I could be, something more than what I dreamed, far beyond what I could see -Dream Theater
