What small things make your blood boil? Those tiny, seemingly insignificant behaviors or mistakes that somehow manage to drive you absolutely crazy? We're diving headfirst into the therapeutic world of pet peeves in this candid, laugh-out-loud episode.
Grammar mistakes top our list of irritations. From the cringe-worthy "these ones" and "irregardless" to people who say "I seen that," we're letting loose about the language errors that make our skin crawl. As one of us points out, "It makes you sound uneducated, and I would think you'd want to improve." But our venting doesn't stop there.
The marketing world gives us plenty to complain about, particularly with misleading product descriptions. "Vegan leather" – an oxymoron deserving special scorn – alongside "almond milk" and "cauliflower rice" exemplify how language gets twisted for sales purposes. Meanwhile, social interactions provide endless material: conversation dominators, one-uppers, and people who simply cannot read social cues that it's time to wrap things up.
Technology and media haven't escaped our notice either. News programs that tease stories only to deliver them at the broadcast's end, vague social media posts asking for "thoughts and prayers" without context, and those multi-post Twitter threads that force readers to hunt for information all earn our collective eye-rolling.
We wrap up by comparing our grievances with the "official" top ten pet peeves, finding common ground in universal irritations like loud chewing, chronic tardiness, and the office criminal who reheats fish at lunchtime. This episode serves as both comic relief and validation – you're definitely not alone in being bothered by life's little annoyances!
What's your biggest pet peeve? We'd love to hear what drives you crazy. And feel free to share this episode with that friend who's guilty of your particular irritation. As we say, "Blame it on us – we've got big shoulders."
Amy, Kitty & Stacey
P.S. Isn't our intro music great?! Yah, we think so too. Thank you, Ivy States for "I Got That Wow".

Speaker 1 (00:19):
All right running, get me to the top, I don't need
a good evening, ladies no, no no, no, that's Italian.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Why are you saying boo jour, no?
Are you practicing forsomething?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
yes, I'm practicing and I you know it's gonna tie
right into our topic.
Yes, I'm practicing and I youknow it's going to tie right
into our topic tonight, becauseI'm sure that sounded really
irritating to people.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Right, yes, we are three cocktails in where we have
addicted conversations betweenthe three friends, amy, kitty
and myself and tonight's episodeis going to be a little bit
venting and a little bit, youknow, talking about our pet
(01:15):
peeves and trying to gather acommunity that agrees with us.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Hopefully we find out we're not alone in some of
these things that just drive uscrazy, yeah yeah, do you find
that your pet peeves change likedaily, oh, every few days
something new irritates you.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, something new added to the list.
You mean Sure, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, so, speaking of lists, as we do on occasion,
when we get ourselves organizedand we, you know, identify
topics we want to discuss, wekind of all keep lists on our
phone.
This one was an easy one for meto contribute and put some
things together on my list.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
We didn't have to do some so much research for this
one, although I did ask AI whatthe top 10, you know pet peeves
are and I thought the list waskind of funny.
I would guess at least one ofus has one of one of all 10 of
those pet peeves.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Should we save those for last?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yes, I will do that last.
We'll see how close we get to.
And again, top 10, according towho I don't know, just is I
agree with you.
Yeah, the interwebs.
Who wants to go first, amy?
What's your top pet peeve?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
These ones.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So in the category of grammar.
Yes, amy has submitted theseones.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yes, these means these ones.
Yes, it does, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
These means these ones.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yes, it does.
Yeah, yeah, I've heard that alot from a lot of different
sources recently and they'rethey're highly intelligent
people that are saying that hmm,these ones, these ones yeah
that's kind of one of those whatredundant, redundant sayings.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, well, I think it's a.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
These things have been popping up on my socials
lately, and there's one, there'sone, and I think it's selling a
course and it talks about theseare phrases that make you sound
unintelligent.
Is that a word?
Less intelligent, sure, and I'mguessing that that's probably
one of those.
It's probably why it irritatesyou, amy, it does.
(03:55):
It just kind of sounds like youcan say that better.
Yes, it just doesn't sound veryintelligent.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yes, no, it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Anybody have any other grammar ones, Because I
have a few so I don't want totake yours.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Go ahead, Kitty.
Do you have some of those?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Yes, so I've got grammar and then I've got
expressions oh yeah, Okay, sogrammar, and we've talked about
this before.
But we can't have thisconversation without noting
irregardless and mute point.
Those are right.
Myself, when people fall down,when I hear people say that, I
(04:48):
have to really really holdmyself from laughing, Because a
lot of times when people saythose words, they think they're
sounding pretty smart when theysay them.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
So yeah, yes, irregardless was on my list,
okay.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
And.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I have also found it is a wonderful word to throw in
when someone is irritating youand is talking out their hiney
and thinks they are super smart.
Just to irritate them a littlebit.
Say irregardless, I think.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yes, and then watch their expression.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, I will admit to that, because my oldest
daughter is a grammar Nazi, sooccasionally I will do that
exact thing.
You know, she'll call me out onsomething else, of course, and
I'll say, well, irregardless and.
(05:50):
I'll say well, irregardless.
I'm guessing she thinks I don'tknow, that's don't know.
Yeah, yeah, I have one more inspelling, like typing an email
or something like that, typing atext.
Okay, it's the should've,could've, would've.
(06:13):
They're using of O-F instead ofhave, you know, could've,
would've.
Oh my gosh, I see thatoccasionally.
Oh, we could've, blah, blah,blah.
Could've not, could have.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Really, I've never seen that.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Well now, you'll see it Now that I brought it up,
you'll see.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
So that is very interesting that you brought
that up, because I found myselftyping an email that said we've
got, we have got.
(06:55):
That's not right.
We have, we have, we have.
But I've been typing we've gotthat's.
There's no need to say got.
But it's also weird to sayweave and then the thing.
So I think you have to say wehave.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
That would sound better.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Yes, I would say I have another grammar one, and
this pops up often Again Me andhim, me and her.
There is a comedian, christinaP, and she does a whole riff on
(07:37):
how stupid you sound when yousay me and him.
She goes you sound like CookieMonster.
Me and him eat cookies.
You know, it just doesn't soundright, and I am I.
This one befuddles me.
This, I think, is on parentsyou gotta nip that in the butt
early.
We're gonna say other umphrases that are wrong too.
(08:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, yeah, I'll throw.
I'll throw Madison under thebus for this one because she's.
I'll ask her, well, who was atthe party?
And she'll say me it's like Iknow you were there first of all
.
So if she listens to this,she's going to be PO'd because
she does it all the time.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
It's like she's going to be PO'd because she does it
all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
She's not the only one.
I have a child who does that?
As well, but it's just funnythat she has to list herself
also.
I know you were there.
I remember a junior high-ishage English teacher, I think was
(08:46):
hounding Trenton all the timetoo, and that was her thing.
There's no me-in, Me-in, that's.
You know you don't say that,and I think you know that's what
it has to be.
Somebody has to remind you ahundred times that that's not
how you spread it.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I remember seventh grade grammar, a whole year of
grammar.
Yeah, the whole idea that whenyou have two people doing
something, you drop the, dropthe second one off.
And how would you say it?
Yeah, me going to the store.
No, me is not.
I am going to the star.
Him isn't going to the store.
(09:26):
No, me is not, I am going tothe star, him isn't going to the
store.
He is going to the store.
Therefore, he and I are goingto the store so do they have
grammar like that anymore?
I don't think it's that well, weknow it's not a full year,
that's for dang sure.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I don't know Because yes, we had it like seventh or
eighth grade.
English was literally grammar,and you know, did you?
What do they call that?
The sentence, not the sentencestructure, but the.
You know the line where you putthe noun and the.
What was that called?
Do you know what I mean?
I'm sure they wouldn't possiblydo that anymore.
Would they Dissecting?
(10:06):
No, do you know what I mean?
I'm sure they wouldn't possiblydo that anymore.
Would they dissect, dissecting?
No, I can't think of whatthat's called.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Whatever you know you know what I?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
mean I would just think, with everything else
they've made modern, that thatwouldn't still be a thing.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
But I don't know well , and probably autocorrect takes
care of that.
Yes, but also autocorrectdoesn't talk for you.
So, yeah, okay, thank you forletting me get those off my
chest.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I am constantly surprised at how many people I
will hear say oh yes, I seenthat, that, oh my ears bleed and
it's not young people, it'solder people, it's our age and
older and educated people.
(10:56):
Yes, that's a, and I have ahard time holding my back myself
back from correcting that one.
Yeah, that is yeah.
That just makes you sound soyes.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Uneducated.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yeah, and people don't like.
People don't like beingcorrected Just saying, but I
just yeah, it does.
It makes you sound uneducatedand I would think you'd want to
improve, and I'm sure I do thesame thing sometimes Misspeak,
oh.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I'm sure I do too.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
You know what I mean, yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Some of these are easy.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
These are not hard.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
This isn't me speaking Italian.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
No, no, it isn't, yeah, it's just normal stuff.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Okay, Can I?
Can I share a saying that islike yeah, yes.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Oh, great, I'm super excited for this.
Yeah, hopefully I don't getnauseous either for this.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Yeah, hopefully I don't get nauseous either.
Where did this come from whensomeone says, oh, wow, we have.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Oh, it's been a minute, oh oh, that's right up
there with back in the day.
Oh okay, whose day?
What day?
Everybody's.
Back to the everybody's day isdifferent.
Oh okay, whose day?
What day?
Everybody's day is different.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
It's been a minute.
It's been a minute.
This saying doesn't it makes nosense whatsoever.
You're basically saying wow,it's been a really long time
since we've talked to each other.
That's what the person issaying.
But instead they're saying, wow, it's been a minute.
What the hell does that mean?
That doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
No, it doesn't.
But do any of us get that upsetabout that, as Kitty Does
anyone, I mean.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
I'm telling you, this traps my hide in a big way.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Have you done it?
Have you done it, you know?
What does me, though, is my bad, can't stand my bad, you know
we all know my favorite.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
It is what it is oh yeah, or fine.
You don't like, fine either no,I don't like fine either.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
No I don't like fine either no bad.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
How about?
Yeah, there's no there there.
What?
There's no there there.
Who?
What's the context?
No, I've even heard it onnational news.
I heard it during the politicaldebates, so I heard it and I
don't remember which candidatesaid it, but I just remember
(13:48):
thinking, oh, this is the lowestof the low.
So when someone is commentatingon an issue, let's say, or a
topic of some kind, the positionright, They'll say no, there's
(14:08):
no there there, it's acid.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
What do they mean?
Just simply, there's nothingthere.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Yes, Then just say there's nothing there, let's
take a vote.
We don't like it.
No, there's nothing.
Yeah, let's take a vote.
It's yeah.
We don't like it, no, it'sawful.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
It, it, it, it's stupid, it's stupid.
We'll just call that and anyonethat uses it stupid.
Yeah, how about that?
Oh, I thought of something thatkind of goes back to along the
lines of kind of you know emailsand typing and whatever, and
I'm sure I'm guessing Amydefinitely doesn't ever have
(14:53):
this problem.
Kitty, I would think not.
People will send me an email,right, and even though my name
is in the email, they willmisspell my name.
They'll say Stacey and thenmisspell it and then blah, blah,
blah on the email and it'sliterally right there and
(15:13):
they're replying with you know,when my signature, you know, is
right there on the email, stillwill misspell Yep, I don't get
that.
No, I'm sure not.
So.
So my thought on it is are youjust that lazy or you just don't
(15:34):
give a crap?
You know, cause, like, I don'tknow how to spell everyone's
name, but I, at least when I, Iwill look at it and you know
what I mean.
I know enough to look at it orlook it up.
Yeah, you know and spell itright, but I think some people
just don't live, you know,whatever it's, it's a weird one,
(15:54):
I know that, but no, I don'tknow I've got some clients that
have spelled their name the thesame way.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
But yeah, it's just, you know, lack of attention to
detail.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Lack of attention to detail.
There you go.
That's one of my probably mybiggest pet peeve.
We found it.
Yeah, okay, what else?
What else?
Yeah, see if we agree.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
I would like to move away from grammar, although this
is you know.
Again, we're getting to theroot problem here.
I despise products that aredescribed as being vegan leather
.
Oh, vegan, yeah, so again anoxymoron, you know it's an
(16:53):
oxymoron, because you can't bevegan and you can't be leather.
You can be faux leather.
Yep, you can be pleather.
You could be plastic.
You could be synthetic.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yes, can't be vegan leather Yep, like a lot of
purses or shoes will bedescribed as vegan leather.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
No, no, no, they're not vegan leather.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
They're vegan, maybe, but they're not leather Right,
that's interesting.
Yeah, well, it's the same thing.
If you call oat milk milk, it'snot milk, almond milk, not
right, just like cauliflowerrice, no rice.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
It can be cauliflower rice or riced cauliflower, but
rice is rice yes yep, yep, yep,that's a good one we have an
overarching theme here that petpeeves don't always have to be
(18:03):
rational no, they don't, theydon't they just stick in our
craw.
Yeah, let's see how many oldphrases we can bring up today
too.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yep.
They do stick in our craw whatYou've got a chapped your hide.
Yes, that one chapped your hide.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
yes, I love that phrase.
I also love grinds my gearsyeah, some people probably hate
those.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
You know what I mean.
Probably the youngins, you know.
Think when we say say those,they're that's probably their
pet pee.
Think when we say those, that'sprobably their pet peeve when
we say older phrases like thatOld-timey stuff?
Yes, probably, I would guess.
Oh funny, there's the oldtoilet paper, so some people,
(19:04):
I'm sure, hate it when Otherpeople don't replace the toilet
paper.
I'm less irritated with thatthan I am the toilet paper beard
or the toilet paper mullet.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I believe it should be a beard.
It should be a beard, not amullet.
Not a mullet.
I have never heard it describedas that, but I get it.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah, what say you Kitty?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
I believe it should come over the top.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
That would be in front of your beard, that would
be a beard, not a mullet.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah, that one irritates me.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
It is really irritating in a public bathroom
when they have those giant rollsthat are behind the case and
you can't find the end of it.
You can't find the end.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I know.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
And you're like a cat in there just shredding it,
trying to find People.
Probably in the other stallsare thinking what the hell?
How much toilet toilet paper?
What is going on?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I'm leaving we have that dispenser in our restrooms
at work and it's, you know,literally the bathroom is right
by everybody's, you know office.
So when I'm doing that, itlooks like.
It sounds like the roll is justroll and roll and roll.
I can't find the end.
(20:32):
Today, do you feel?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
like yelling that out .
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I'm okay, I just can't find the end, I know right
.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
The struggle is real.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Oh God, I know.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
That's a bad one.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah, I have one that I'm not sure that you guys can
relate to, just because of youknow, this is very situational
and logistical for me.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
um, I have had it up to here with three-wheel man
motorcycle bikes we see them allall over the place here and
actually three-wheel, not athree-wheeled bike, but a
three-wheeled motorcycle.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Yes, they're so freaking loud and they travel in
packs and it's like dude,you're not hot on that, it's.
It's a middle-aged man whocan't keep a motorcycle upright
and so they have to.
They have to ride the three.
It's like a souped up atvoff-road not in downtown outside
(21:48):
my window at 10 o'clock atnight with your radio blasting,
thinking you're picking up some30-year-old chick on your
three-wheeler.
Cool, not cool.
They're so loud, they're soannoying.
Yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I agree, that's probably why, because they're
older.
Although if I was going to rideon one with someone, I would
pick the three-wheeler over thetwo-wheeler.
I would not anymore.
You know, this is one of thosethings as you get older, you,
you just will not do.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I will not ride a motorcycle I could probably into
a side car as opposed to athree wheel because you wouldn't
look dumb in a sidecar.
You would at least lookvintagey Instead of like.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
I mean, you've got some sweet goggles and a scarf,
your goggles.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I can't get my head scarf on.
Yes, you're do-rag in yourgoggles.
Yes, I can see that now.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I was thinking something a little bit more like
Audrey Hepburn or like.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Grace Kelly?
Oh sure, yes, I doubt she everrode in a sidecar.
She wore a scarf, she did.
Yeah, yeah, those are aninteresting, interesting
invention, for sure I think.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Yeah, yeah, you know.
Hey, I just don't understandwhy we got to drive them in
downtown Minneapolis.
No but you can't go faster than22 miles an hour because
there's stoplights and stopsigns every single block.
Yeah, you can pedal a bike justas fast as you could ride one
(23:41):
of those things down herethey're probably just passing
through yeah, I would say passand through.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You've got to get through there to get out on the
open road.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
They've got a long way to go to get on the open
road.
Yeah, thank you for letting meget that off my chest.
I feel a little better.
I feel seen.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Yep, we see you.
What do you have, Kitty?
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Have you ever been caught in a conversation,
meaning that you're talking tosomebody and they literally will
not shut up?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
like me.
Is that what you're thinking onthis?
Speaker 4 (24:28):
podcast.
Well, one they always have toone-up you one up like you know
you told them something and thenthey've got something that you
know is gonna well tops that,yeah so the old one-upper?
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I don't like the old one-upper, that's one component
of it.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
but then also people who just they don't know when to
, they don't know when to moveon and they just keep going and
keep going and they don't pickup on on visual cues that I know
I'm giving, that, I'm like thisone, oh, got it, you know, and
(25:07):
it's just like, and it gets thelonger ones.
It's really only happened to mea couple of times in my life
that after I finally was able toextract myself from the, from
the communication, I actuallywas angry because I, because it
felt like you just took all thattime from me, and some people
(25:32):
are masters at it.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
My ex-husband had a friend, a high school friend,
that would do this to beirritating, but there are times
I've really wanted to and, kitty, I'm going to offer this up as
a solution.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
He would interrupt and say enough about you.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Let's talk about me, yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I think when you're with someone like that, they're
absolutely not paying anyattention to you.
They're not asking youquestions.
They're not listening to whatyou have to say.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
The old one-upper.
Don't like him.
I think he's always a he Maybenot Nice.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
What else, what else?
Speaker 3 (26:31):
uh nice, what else, what else can we talk about
connections, the purple category.
Connections, the game category.
The purple category is veryannoying um you know, it's
footwear minus two letters thatare attached to.
(26:52):
Yeah, you know, they're justsometimes so ridiculously random
, yes, very random.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I don't mind the ones that are like something in the
word you know, or the word, theword in something.
They come together because thebeginning of the phrase is
always the same word.
Don't mind those, but thosewhere it's, like you know, the
last half of the word is thecategory.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Is a planet without three letters.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Yeah, yes, if you don't play't play connections,
you probably have no idea whatwe're talking about.
But it's a.
It's a game where you have four.
You have.
What would it be?
16 16 words.
They all reduce down to fourwords or categories, and the
(27:50):
purple is always the hardest,usually, although there wasn't
one very long ago where both youand I got the purple first, I
don't know.
So it's supposed to be thehardest one, and sometimes again
, they make no sense and arevery random.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Yeah, like super ultra specific, mm-hmm.
Yeah, like super ultra specific.
Yeah, okay, then to you know,kind of piggyback on that,
because that's a phrase we alllove.
If I could piggyback on that umWordle where the last four
(28:28):
letters are the same and you getit on the second try and you
lose because there are 18different words.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
That end with the same four letters and you're
just guessing.
You're playing the rhyming gameyeah, at that point it's just
luck at that point you know, andyou know what my pet peeve is
is when one of you two get it ina guess or two and I go all the
way and get it on the sixthguess and I feel like my guesses
(28:59):
up up high were very good hey,it's happened both ways before,
so and I love it when we all getthe middle one right and then
at the bottom we get it all andit's like, as Stacey said,
that's a big F you.
If you can visualize, you knowfive letters and the middle
(29:21):
letter is the one we don't get,or the second to last.
It looks like a flippingflipping the bird at the end.
Yeah it's about how we feelwith those.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
And yet I still start my day doing that every single
day.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yeah, you can probably tell on the days I'm
busy.
I had my boss in my officetoday.
I don't think I got it donevery early, but usually I've got
nothing early in the morning,so that's when I'm doing it too.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Well, you know, like Kitty has her coffee in the
morning, I crack open my DietCoke, pour it on a big glass of
ice and I sit down and I do myWordle and my Connections.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Connections yep, Yep, there you go.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
A little brain exercise to start the day, yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Yep, it is Mm-hmm, what else?
Speaker 3 (30:13):
I am feeling a lot better being able to voice these
yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
I mean, you're not alone, you know.
This again goes back to our youknow friendship discussion for
the entire year.
You're allowed to vent youropinions and we'll support you
in your crazy pet peeves.
That's what we're here for,Good, and most of them we
(30:37):
honestly agree.
Yes, what do you think aboutpeople that are habitually late?
Does that bother you?
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Um late.
Does that bother you?
I don't know that itnecessarily bothers me, because
if they're habitually late, thenI know what to expect.
Yes, that is very true.
I don't like it when someonelike knew that I'm meeting is
late.
It's something that I try toinstill in Bo.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
You know, don't be late don't be late, get into a
habit of of not being late, butyeah, yeah, it's one of those
that I think I think some peoplejust can't stand and other
people just whatever.
Just like you're saying youknow that that's how a person is
and whatever.
(31:40):
Yeah, I wouldn't say that's atthe top of my list, but you know
, I just thought of one that isat the top of my list.
Do you ever?
How am I going to set this up?
I do not like when the newsadvertises the news, does that
make sense?
You know what I mean.
(32:01):
Like you're and I, I don'tusually watch the news, but
usually when I get home fromwork, barney already has it on
and so it's going, and thenit'll cut to like the end of you
know, before the commercial andthey'll say you know, next up
with it in this episode, youknow, or this, today, we're we
(32:21):
something, something happened,or you know what I mean.
And they don't say it then, andthen they don't say it within
the next 15 minutes, and thenthey don't say it within the
next 15 minutes and then theydon't say it till the very end
of the show.
They'll run that story.
I can't stand that.
So you've watched you kind of,and I get why they do it.
(32:43):
It's obviously intriguing, soyou watch the whole thing.
But if it's news at 5 30, whyisn't it news at 530?
Not at two to six?
You know what I mean?
That's the thing that you knowand you'll see news commercials
during the day saying tonight atsix we're going to talk about
(33:05):
whatever, I don't know.
I just think it's weird.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
News, so news related .
I think it's interesting howlocal news people think that
they're celebrities and alsopeople.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
People get like gaga over local news casters or twin
cities.
Today, people like oh my God,oh my God.
Yeah, they say just as annoyingthings as are on our list.
So, let's just bring them backto reality.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
And if you're a local , here's another one.
I don't like If you're doing alocal newscast and you have to
go do a news story on any kindof pet, nope you have, you've
got the lowest of low jobs.
Going to talk to whose?
(34:06):
Pet got lost but came back 800pound pumpkin.
Yes, anything so goofy likethat, but pet stories really
irritate me.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Because I gotta pay their dues before they work up
to the anchor desk.
No, no pet stories.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
No one cares you care about your pet anchor desk?
Yes, no, no pet stories.
No one cares.
You care about your pet?
Yes, Do I?
No, oh my gosh, you have to behonest, that one irritates me.
There you go.
I checked that one off, whatelse?
Speaker 4 (34:46):
People who vague post .
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Oh, yeah, yeah, right , yeah.
Thoughts and prayers, please,yeah, nothing else, right, yeah,
then you gotta spend a lot oftime digging through their
social and their connections tofigure out what's going on and
sometimes you don't.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Yeah, I saw somebody very long, long ago, you know,
say some real heartfelt thingabout just real heartfelt about
their friend.
You know you could tell theirfriend had passed away.
No idea, well, honestly no idea.
If it was a friend, you know,relative had no idea.
(35:33):
You know, it was just very so,you didn't.
You know everybody was saying,oh, sorry for your loss, but no
idea, and I think some peoplebehind the scenes that's oh my
gosh, did something happen toyour husband.
You know what I mean?
That's just too vague for thatkind of thing.
Yeah, who was lost?
Yeah, yeah, no idea.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Yeah, yeah, it's weird I've mentioned before that
I am facebook friends withsomebody who asks for a lot of
prayers for a wide variety ofsituations in their life.
I'm not sure that facebook is aplace for that.
(36:17):
Here's my latest pet peeve Onthe Twitter the threads, the,
whatever it is that you're on.
Why do I have to follow eightof your posts?
Why are you writing a mininovel that I've got to go
through the thread of eight toget to the point?
(36:39):
Yeah, I thought that we werelimited to 108 characters 180
characters or something.
That's a long gone, I know, butI think we should bring it back,
yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
People are blogging.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Yes, as a post, and they don't do it in order.
I don't want to read onethrough three and then go to
seven if you're gonna do eightof them you better put them in
order yeah, put them in orderand number so I can follow which
is which?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
yeah, right, yep, I, I get it okay.
Well, of course I did research.
Are we ready for the top 10?
Yeah, and then we'll say if weagree or if we'll notice if any
of them you know came across aswe we match.
So according to my ai that Iasked the question, top 10 pet
(37:40):
peeves number one loud chewingyeah or chewing with your mouth
open.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Just sometimes want to smack somebody mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Number two people who are always late, so evidently
that's why I brought that up.
I think some people really arebothered by that.
It's like, yeah, okay, numberthree slow walkers blocking the
sidewalk.
Oh yes, in the airport is aboutthe only time I noticed, you
(38:15):
know or a group of six walkingside by side and taking up the
entire sidewalk, whole thing.
Yes, I feel like a sidewalk istwo-way, just like a street, and
you stay on the right.
Yeah, you know if you have sixpeople, you're gonna have to
stagger right two, two, two.
(38:37):
Yes, I agree.
Yeah, there you go that thoseare good, that's a good one.
Number four constantcomplaining whiners, whiners.
That'd be irritating.
Number five being interruptedmid-sentence the one-uppers do
that a lot, yeah, um.
(38:59):
Number six, which we didn'tbring up but for, uh, grammar
misusing there, there and there.
You know um that happens inwriting a lot.
Number seven obnoxious phoneconversations in public.
Oh yes.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Yes, yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
When you have the person with the earbud in and
they're blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
They're so important.
Yes, I know, yeah.
That happens at airports a lot.
That does happen in airports alot, yes.
Number eight people who don'tuse turn signals.
Yeah, honestly, that peeves meless than the person when you
get to like a four-way stop ortwo-stop and they don't know
(39:53):
that it's their turn to go.
I just always go, I stop andthen I go because I figure
you're going to take forever.
You're on the right, you havethe right way, but you're never
going, so I'm going to go.
Number nine leaving cabinetsand drawers open.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
No, that doesn't bother me.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Yeah, does Bill do that?
Kitty, I do that and it bothersBill.
There you go, go.
Yeah, I don't do that either.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
I wouldn't say barney does either but my rationale is
that I'm not done in thatcabinet, done yeah I will take.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Yeah, you know, like if you're taking something out
to use it and then you're goingto put it right back, I get it.
I would not shut the cabinetdoor and then open it back up.
Yeah, yeah makes sense.
This last one I thought waskind of funny number 10, and I
can't imagine that it really isnumber 10, but they have
microwaving fish in the office.
Oh, but I would say, likemicrowaving any stinky stuff it
(40:56):
doesn't have to be just fish.
That is kind of annoying.
Yeah, yep, there you go.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
Okay, Well, I think we had really good, interesting
ones.
I do too.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
I do too.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
It just proves that you know, some things don't
bother us, Some things reallybother us, yeah I feel better
having just being able toexpress these get it off my
chest, it's very cleansing, verycleansing, very therapeutic
(41:33):

I don't need an invitation.
I'm about to start acelebration.
Let me in.
Brought a good time for somefriends.
Turn it up loud past 10.
All right running, get me to the top, I don't need
a good evening, ladies no, no no, no, that's Italian.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Why are you saying boo jour, no?
Are you practicing forsomething?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
yes, I'm practicing and I you know it's gonna tie
right into our topic.
Yes, I'm practicing and I youknow it's going to tie right
into our topic tonight, becauseI'm sure that sounded really
irritating to people.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Right, yes, we are three cocktails in where we have
addicted conversations betweenthe three friends, amy, kitty
and myself and tonight's episodeis going to be a little bit
venting and a little bit, youknow, talking about our pet
(01:15):
peeves and trying to gather acommunity that agrees with us.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Hopefully we find out we're not alone in some of
these things that just drive uscrazy, yeah yeah, do you find
that your pet peeves change likedaily, oh, every few days
something new irritates you.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, something new added to the list.
You mean Sure, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, so, speaking of lists, as we do on occasion,
when we get ourselves organizedand we, you know, identify
topics we want to discuss, wekind of all keep lists on our
phone.
This one was an easy one for meto contribute and put some
things together on my list.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
We didn't have to do some so much research for this
one, although I did ask AI whatthe top 10, you know pet peeves
are and I thought the list waskind of funny.
I would guess at least one ofus has one of one of all 10 of
those pet peeves.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Should we save those for last?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yes, I will do that last.
We'll see how close we get to.
And again, top 10, according towho I don't know, just is I
agree with you.
Yeah, the interwebs.
Who wants to go first, amy?
What's your top pet peeve?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
These ones.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So in the category of grammar.
Yes, amy has submitted theseones.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yes, these means these ones.
Yes, it does, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
These means these ones.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yes, it does.
Yeah, yeah, I've heard that alot from a lot of different
sources recently and they'rethey're highly intelligent
people that are saying that hmm,these ones, these ones yeah
that's kind of one of those whatredundant, redundant sayings.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, well, I think it's a.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
These things have been popping up on my socials
lately, and there's one, there'sone, and I think it's selling a
course and it talks about theseare phrases that make you sound
unintelligent.
Is that a word?
Less intelligent, sure, and I'mguessing that that's probably
one of those.
It's probably why it irritatesyou, amy, it does.
(03:55):
It just kind of sounds like youcan say that better.
Yes, it just doesn't sound veryintelligent.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yes, no, it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Anybody have any other grammar ones, Because I
have a few so I don't want totake yours.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Go ahead, Kitty.
Do you have some of those?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Yes, so I've got grammar and then I've got
expressions oh yeah, Okay, sogrammar, and we've talked about
this before.
But we can't have thisconversation without noting
irregardless and mute point.
Those are right.
Myself, when people fall down,when I hear people say that, I
(04:48):
have to really really holdmyself from laughing, Because a
lot of times when people saythose words, they think they're
sounding pretty smart when theysay them.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
So yeah, yes, irregardless was on my list,
okay.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
And.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I have also found it is a wonderful word to throw in
when someone is irritating youand is talking out their hiney
and thinks they are super smart.
Just to irritate them a littlebit.
Say irregardless, I think.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yes, and then watch their expression.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, I will admit to that, because my oldest
daughter is a grammar Nazi, sooccasionally I will do that
exact thing.
You know, she'll call me out onsomething else, of course, and
I'll say, well, irregardless and.
(05:50):
I'll say well, irregardless.
I'm guessing she thinks I don'tknow, that's don't know.
Yeah, yeah, I have one more inspelling, like typing an email
or something like that, typing atext.
Okay, it's the should've,could've, would've.
(06:13):
They're using of O-F instead ofhave, you know, could've,
would've.
Oh my gosh, I see thatoccasionally.
Oh, we could've, blah, blah,blah.
Could've not, could have.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Really, I've never seen that.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Well now, you'll see it Now that I brought it up,
you'll see.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
So that is very interesting that you brought
that up, because I found myselftyping an email that said we've
got, we have got.
(06:55):
That's not right.
We have, we have, we have.
But I've been typing we've gotthat's.
There's no need to say got.
But it's also weird to sayweave and then the thing.
So I think you have to say wehave.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
That would sound better.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Yes, I would say I have another grammar one, and
this pops up often Again Me andhim, me and her.
There is a comedian, christinaP, and she does a whole riff on
(07:37):
how stupid you sound when yousay me and him.
She goes you sound like CookieMonster.
Me and him eat cookies.
You know, it just doesn't soundright, and I am I.
This one befuddles me.
This, I think, is on parentsyou gotta nip that in the butt
early.
We're gonna say other umphrases that are wrong too.
(08:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, yeah, I'll throw.
I'll throw Madison under thebus for this one because she's.
I'll ask her, well, who was atthe party?
And she'll say me it's like Iknow you were there first of all
.
So if she listens to this,she's going to be PO'd because
she does it all the time.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
It's like she's going to be PO'd because she does it
all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
She's not the only one.
I have a child who does that?
As well, but it's just funnythat she has to list herself
also.
I know you were there.
I remember a junior high-ishage English teacher, I think was
(08:46):
hounding Trenton all the timetoo, and that was her thing.
There's no me-in, Me-in, that's.
You know you don't say that,and I think you know that's what
it has to be.
Somebody has to remind you ahundred times that that's not
how you spread it.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I remember seventh grade grammar, a whole year of
grammar.
Yeah, the whole idea that whenyou have two people doing
something, you drop the, dropthe second one off.
And how would you say it?
Yeah, me going to the store.
No, me is not.
I am going to the star.
Him isn't going to the store.
(09:26):
No, me is not, I am going tothe star, him isn't going to the
store.
He is going to the store.
Therefore, he and I are goingto the store so do they have
grammar like that anymore?
I don't think it's that well, weknow it's not a full year,
that's for dang sure.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I don't know Because yes, we had it like seventh or
eighth grade.
English was literally grammar,and you know, did you?
What do they call that?
The sentence, not the sentencestructure, but the.
You know the line where you putthe noun and the.
What was that called?
Do you know what I mean?
I'm sure they wouldn't possiblydo that anymore.
Would they Dissecting?
(10:06):
No, do you know what I mean?
I'm sure they wouldn't possiblydo that anymore.
Would they dissect, dissecting?
No, I can't think of whatthat's called.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Whatever you know you know what I?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
mean I would just think, with everything else
they've made modern, that thatwouldn't still be a thing.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
But I don't know well , and probably autocorrect takes
care of that.
Yes, but also autocorrectdoesn't talk for you.
So, yeah, okay, thank you forletting me get those off my
chest.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I am constantly surprised at how many people I
will hear say oh yes, I seenthat, that, oh my ears bleed and
it's not young people, it'solder people, it's our age and
older and educated people.
(10:56):
Yes, that's a, and I have ahard time holding my back myself
back from correcting that one.
Yeah, that is yeah.
That just makes you sound soyes.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Uneducated.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yeah, and people don't like.
People don't like beingcorrected Just saying, but I
just yeah, it does.
It makes you sound uneducatedand I would think you'd want to
improve, and I'm sure I do thesame thing sometimes Misspeak,
oh.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I'm sure I do too.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
You know what I mean, yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Some of these are easy.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
These are not hard.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
This isn't me speaking Italian.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
No, no, it isn't, yeah, it's just normal stuff.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Okay, Can I?
Can I share a saying that islike yeah, yes.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Oh, great, I'm super excited for this.
Yeah, hopefully I don't getnauseous either for this.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Yeah, hopefully I don't get nauseous either.
Where did this come from whensomeone says, oh, wow, we have.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Oh, it's been a minute, oh oh, that's right up
there with back in the day.
Oh okay, whose day?
What day?
Everybody's.
Back to the everybody's day isdifferent.
Oh okay, whose day?
What day?
Everybody's day is different.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
It's been a minute.
It's been a minute.
This saying doesn't it makes nosense whatsoever.
You're basically saying wow,it's been a really long time
since we've talked to each other.
That's what the person issaying.
But instead they're saying, wow, it's been a minute.
What the hell does that mean?
That doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
No, it doesn't.
But do any of us get that upsetabout that, as Kitty Does
anyone, I mean.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
I'm telling you, this traps my hide in a big way.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Have you done it?
Have you done it, you know?
What does me, though, is my bad, can't stand my bad, you know
we all know my favorite.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
It is what it is oh yeah, or fine.
You don't like, fine either no,I don't like fine either.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
No I don't like fine either no bad.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
How about?
Yeah, there's no there there.
What?
There's no there there.
Who?
What's the context?
No, I've even heard it onnational news.
I heard it during the politicaldebates, so I heard it and I
don't remember which candidatesaid it, but I just remember
(13:48):
thinking, oh, this is the lowestof the low.
So when someone is commentatingon an issue, let's say, or a
topic of some kind, the positionright, They'll say no, there's
(14:08):
no there there, it's acid.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
What do they mean?
Just simply, there's nothingthere.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Yes, Then just say there's nothing there, let's
take a vote.
We don't like it.
No, there's nothing.
Yeah, let's take a vote.
It's yeah.
We don't like it, no, it'sawful.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
It, it, it, it's stupid, it's stupid.
We'll just call that and anyonethat uses it stupid.
Yeah, how about that?
Oh, I thought of something thatkind of goes back to along the
lines of kind of you know emailsand typing and whatever, and
I'm sure I'm guessing Amydefinitely doesn't ever have
(14:53):
this problem.
Kitty, I would think not.
People will send me an email,right, and even though my name
is in the email, they willmisspell my name.
They'll say Stacey and thenmisspell it and then blah, blah,
blah on the email and it'sliterally right there and
(15:13):
they're replying with you know,when my signature, you know, is
right there on the email, stillwill misspell Yep, I don't get
that.
No, I'm sure not.
So.
So my thought on it is are youjust that lazy or you just don't
(15:34):
give a crap?
You know, cause, like, I don'tknow how to spell everyone's
name, but I, at least when I, Iwill look at it and you know
what I mean.
I know enough to look at it orlook it up.
Yeah, you know and spell itright, but I think some people
just don't live, you know,whatever it's, it's a weird one,
(15:54):
I know that, but no, I don'tknow I've got some clients that
have spelled their name the thesame way.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
But yeah, it's just, you know, lack of attention to
detail.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Lack of attention to detail.
There you go.
That's one of my probably mybiggest pet peeve.
We found it.
Yeah, okay, what else?
What else?
Yeah, see if we agree.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
I would like to move away from grammar, although this
is you know.
Again, we're getting to theroot problem here.
I despise products that aredescribed as being vegan leather
.
Oh, vegan, yeah, so again anoxymoron, you know it's an
(16:53):
oxymoron, because you can't bevegan and you can't be leather.
You can be faux leather.
Yep, you can be pleather.
You could be plastic.
You could be synthetic.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yes, can't be vegan leather Yep, like a lot of
purses or shoes will bedescribed as vegan leather.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
No, no, no, they're not vegan leather.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
They're vegan, maybe, but they're not leather Right,
that's interesting.
Yeah, well, it's the same thing.
If you call oat milk milk, it'snot milk, almond milk, not
right, just like cauliflowerrice, no rice.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
It can be cauliflower rice or riced cauliflower, but
rice is rice yes yep, yep, yep,that's a good one we have an
overarching theme here that petpeeves don't always have to be
(18:03):
rational no, they don't, theydon't they just stick in our
craw.
Yeah, let's see how many oldphrases we can bring up today
too.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yep.
They do stick in our craw whatYou've got a chapped your hide.
Yes, that one chapped your hide.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
yes, I love that phrase.
I also love grinds my gearsyeah, some people probably hate
those.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
You know what I mean.
Probably the youngins, you know.
Think when we say say those,they're that's probably their
pet pee.
Think when we say those, that'sprobably their pet peeve when
we say older phrases like thatOld-timey stuff?
Yes, probably, I would guess.
Oh funny, there's the oldtoilet paper, so some people,
(19:04):
I'm sure, hate it when Otherpeople don't replace the toilet
paper.
I'm less irritated with thatthan I am the toilet paper beard
or the toilet paper mullet.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I believe it should be a beard.
It should be a beard, not amullet.
Not a mullet.
I have never heard it describedas that, but I get it.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah, what say you Kitty?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
I believe it should come over the top.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
That would be in front of your beard, that would
be a beard, not a mullet.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah, that one irritates me.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
It is really irritating in a public bathroom
when they have those giant rollsthat are behind the case and
you can't find the end of it.
You can't find the end.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I know.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
And you're like a cat in there just shredding it,
trying to find People.
Probably in the other stallsare thinking what the hell?
How much toilet toilet paper?
What is going on?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I'm leaving we have that dispenser in our restrooms
at work and it's, you know,literally the bathroom is right
by everybody's, you know office.
So when I'm doing that, itlooks like.
It sounds like the roll is justroll and roll and roll.
I can't find the end.
(20:32):
Today, do you feel?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
like yelling that out .
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I'm okay, I just can't find the end, I know right
.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
The struggle is real.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Oh God, I know.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
That's a bad one.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah, I have one that I'm not sure that you guys can
relate to, just because of youknow, this is very situational
and logistical for me.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
um, I have had it up to here with three-wheel man
motorcycle bikes we see them allall over the place here and
actually three-wheel, not athree-wheeled bike, but a
three-wheeled motorcycle.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Yes, they're so freaking loud and they travel in
packs and it's like dude,you're not hot on that, it's.
It's a middle-aged man whocan't keep a motorcycle upright
and so they have to.
They have to ride the three.
It's like a souped up atvoff-road not in downtown outside
(21:48):
my window at 10 o'clock atnight with your radio blasting,
thinking you're picking up some30-year-old chick on your
three-wheeler.
Cool, not cool.
They're so loud, they're soannoying.
Yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I agree, that's probably why, because they're
older.
Although if I was going to rideon one with someone, I would
pick the three-wheeler over thetwo-wheeler.
I would not anymore.
You know, this is one of thosethings as you get older, you,
you just will not do.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I will not ride a motorcycle I could probably into
a side car as opposed to athree wheel because you wouldn't
look dumb in a sidecar.
You would at least lookvintagey Instead of like.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
I mean, you've got some sweet goggles and a scarf,
your goggles.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I can't get my head scarf on.
Yes, you're do-rag in yourgoggles.
Yes, I can see that now.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I was thinking something a little bit more like
Audrey Hepburn or like.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Grace Kelly?
Oh sure, yes, I doubt she everrode in a sidecar.
She wore a scarf, she did.
Yeah, yeah, those are aninteresting, interesting
invention, for sure I think.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Yeah, yeah, you know.
Hey, I just don't understandwhy we got to drive them in
downtown Minneapolis.
No but you can't go faster than22 miles an hour because
there's stoplights and stopsigns every single block.
Yeah, you can pedal a bike justas fast as you could ride one
(23:41):
of those things down herethey're probably just passing
through yeah, I would say passand through.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You've got to get through there to get out on the
open road.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
They've got a long way to go to get on the open
road.
Yeah, thank you for letting meget that off my chest.
I feel a little better.
I feel seen.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Yep, we see you.
What do you have, Kitty?
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Have you ever been caught in a conversation,
meaning that you're talking tosomebody and they literally will
not shut up?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
like me.
Is that what you're thinking onthis?
Speaker 4 (24:28):
podcast.
Well, one they always have toone-up you one up like you know
you told them something and thenthey've got something that you
know is gonna well tops that,yeah so the old one-upper?
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I don't like the old one-upper, that's one component
of it.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
but then also people who just they don't know when to
, they don't know when to moveon and they just keep going and
keep going and they don't pickup on on visual cues that I know
I'm giving, that, I'm like thisone, oh, got it, you know, and
(25:07):
it's just like, and it gets thelonger ones.
It's really only happened to mea couple of times in my life
that after I finally was able toextract myself from the, from
the communication, I actuallywas angry because I, because it
felt like you just took all thattime from me, and some people
(25:32):
are masters at it.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
My ex-husband had a friend, a high school friend,
that would do this to beirritating, but there are times
I've really wanted to and, kitty, I'm going to offer this up as
a solution.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
He would interrupt and say enough about you.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Let's talk about me, yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I think when you're with someone like that, they're
absolutely not paying anyattention to you.
They're not asking youquestions.
They're not listening to whatyou have to say.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
The old one-upper.
Don't like him.
I think he's always a he Maybenot Nice.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
What else, what else?
Speaker 3 (26:31):
uh nice, what else, what else can we talk about
connections, the purple category.
Connections, the game category.
The purple category is veryannoying um you know, it's
footwear minus two letters thatare attached to.
(26:52):
Yeah, you know, they're justsometimes so ridiculously random
, yes, very random.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I don't mind the ones that are like something in the
word you know, or the word, theword in something.
They come together because thebeginning of the phrase is
always the same word.
Don't mind those, but thosewhere it's, like you know, the
last half of the word is thecategory.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Is a planet without three letters.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Yeah, yes, if you don't play't play connections,
you probably have no idea whatwe're talking about.
But it's a.
It's a game where you have four.
You have.
What would it be?
16 16 words.
They all reduce down to fourwords or categories, and the
(27:50):
purple is always the hardest,usually, although there wasn't
one very long ago where both youand I got the purple first, I
don't know.
So it's supposed to be thehardest one, and sometimes again
, they make no sense and arevery random.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Yeah, like super ultra specific, mm-hmm.
Yeah, like super ultra specific.
Yeah, okay, then to you know,kind of piggyback on that,
because that's a phrase we alllove.
If I could piggyback on that umWordle where the last four
(28:28):
letters are the same and you getit on the second try and you
lose because there are 18different words.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
That end with the same four letters and you're
just guessing.
You're playing the rhyming gameyeah, at that point it's just
luck at that point you know, andyou know what my pet peeve is
is when one of you two get it ina guess or two and I go all the
way and get it on the sixthguess and I feel like my guesses
(28:59):
up up high were very good hey,it's happened both ways before,
so and I love it when we all getthe middle one right and then
at the bottom we get it all andit's like, as Stacey said,
that's a big F you.
If you can visualize, you knowfive letters and the middle
(29:21):
letter is the one we don't get,or the second to last.
It looks like a flippingflipping the bird at the end.
Yeah it's about how we feelwith those.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
And yet I still start my day doing that every single
day.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yeah, you can probably tell on the days I'm
busy.
I had my boss in my officetoday.
I don't think I got it donevery early, but usually I've got
nothing early in the morning,so that's when I'm doing it too.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Well, you know, like Kitty has her coffee in the
morning, I crack open my DietCoke, pour it on a big glass of
ice and I sit down and I do myWordle and my Connections.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Connections yep, Yep, there you go.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
A little brain exercise to start the day, yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Yep, it is Mm-hmm, what else?
Speaker 3 (30:13):
I am feeling a lot better being able to voice these
yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
I mean, you're not alone, you know.
This again goes back to our youknow friendship discussion for
the entire year.
You're allowed to vent youropinions and we'll support you
in your crazy pet peeves.
That's what we're here for,Good, and most of them we
(30:37):
honestly agree.
Yes, what do you think aboutpeople that are habitually late?
Does that bother you?
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Um late.
Does that bother you?
I don't know that itnecessarily bothers me, because
if they're habitually late, thenI know what to expect.
Yes, that is very true.
I don't like it when someonelike knew that I'm meeting is
late.
It's something that I try toinstill in Bo.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
You know, don't be late don't be late, get into a
habit of of not being late, butyeah, yeah, it's one of those
that I think I think some peoplejust can't stand and other
people just whatever.
Just like you're saying youknow that that's how a person is
and whatever.
(31:40):
Yeah, I wouldn't say that's atthe top of my list, but you know
, I just thought of one that isat the top of my list.
Do you ever?
How am I going to set this up?
I do not like when the newsadvertises the news, does that
make sense?
You know what I mean.
(32:01):
Like you're and I, I don'tusually watch the news, but
usually when I get home fromwork, barney already has it on
and so it's going, and thenit'll cut to like the end of you
know, before the commercial andthey'll say you know, next up
with it in this episode, youknow, or this, today, we're we
(32:21):
something, something happened,or you know what I mean.
And they don't say it then, andthen they don't say it within
the next 15 minutes, and thenthey don't say it within the
next 15 minutes and then theydon't say it till the very end
of the show.
They'll run that story.
I can't stand that.
So you've watched you kind of,and I get why they do it.
(32:43):
It's obviously intriguing, soyou watch the whole thing.
But if it's news at 5 30, whyisn't it news at 530?
Not at two to six?
You know what I mean?
That's the thing that you knowand you'll see news commercials
during the day saying tonight atsix we're going to talk about
(33:05):
whatever, I don't know.
I just think it's weird.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
News, so news related .
I think it's interesting howlocal news people think that
they're celebrities and alsopeople.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
People get like gaga over local news casters or twin
cities.
Today, people like oh my God,oh my God.
Yeah, they say just as annoyingthings as are on our list.
So, let's just bring them backto reality.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
And if you're a local , here's another one.
I don't like If you're doing alocal newscast and you have to
go do a news story on any kindof pet, nope you have, you've
got the lowest of low jobs.
Going to talk to whose?
(34:06):
Pet got lost but came back 800pound pumpkin.
Yes, anything so goofy likethat, but pet stories really
irritate me.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Because I gotta pay their dues before they work up
to the anchor desk.
No, no pet stories.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
No one cares you care about your pet anchor desk?
Yes, no, no pet stories.
No one cares.
You care about your pet?
Yes, Do I?
No, oh my gosh, you have to behonest, that one irritates me.
There you go.
I checked that one off, whatelse?
Speaker 4 (34:46):
People who vague post .
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Oh, yeah, yeah, right , yeah.
Thoughts and prayers, please,yeah, nothing else, right, yeah,
then you gotta spend a lot oftime digging through their
social and their connections tofigure out what's going on and
sometimes you don't.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Yeah, I saw somebody very long, long ago, you know,
say some real heartfelt thingabout just real heartfelt about
their friend.
You know you could tell theirfriend had passed away.
No idea, well, honestly no idea.
If it was a friend, you know,relative had no idea.
(35:33):
You know, it was just very so,you didn't.
You know everybody was saying,oh, sorry for your loss, but no
idea, and I think some peoplebehind the scenes that's oh my
gosh, did something happen toyour husband.
You know what I mean?
That's just too vague for thatkind of thing.
Yeah, who was lost?
Yeah, yeah, no idea.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Yeah, yeah, it's weird I've mentioned before that
I am facebook friends withsomebody who asks for a lot of
prayers for a wide variety ofsituations in their life.
I'm not sure that facebook is aplace for that.
(36:17):
Here's my latest pet peeve Onthe Twitter the threads, the,
whatever it is that you're on.
Why do I have to follow eightof your posts?
Why are you writing a mininovel that I've got to go
through the thread of eight toget to the point?
(36:39):
Yeah, I thought that we werelimited to 108 characters 180
characters or something.
That's a long gone, I know, butI think we should bring it back,
yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
People are blogging.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Yes, as a post, and they don't do it in order.
I don't want to read onethrough three and then go to
seven if you're gonna do eightof them you better put them in
order yeah, put them in orderand number so I can follow which
is which?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
yeah, right, yep, I, I get it okay.
Well, of course I did research.
Are we ready for the top 10?
Yeah, and then we'll say if weagree or if we'll notice if any
of them you know came across aswe we match.
So according to my ai that Iasked the question, top 10 pet
(37:40):
peeves number one loud chewingyeah or chewing with your mouth
open.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Just sometimes want to smack somebody mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Number two people who are always late, so evidently
that's why I brought that up.
I think some people really arebothered by that.
It's like, yeah, okay, numberthree slow walkers blocking the
sidewalk.
Oh yes, in the airport is aboutthe only time I noticed, you
(38:15):
know or a group of six walkingside by side and taking up the
entire sidewalk, whole thing.
Yes, I feel like a sidewalk istwo-way, just like a street, and
you stay on the right.
Yeah, you know if you have sixpeople, you're gonna have to
stagger right two, two, two.
(38:37):
Yes, I agree.
Yeah, there you go that thoseare good, that's a good one.
Number four constantcomplaining whiners, whiners.
That'd be irritating.
Number five being interruptedmid-sentence the one-uppers do
that a lot, yeah, um.
(38:59):
Number six, which we didn'tbring up but for, uh, grammar
misusing there, there and there.
You know um that happens inwriting a lot.
Number seven obnoxious phoneconversations in public.
Oh yes.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Yes, yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
When you have the person with the earbud in and
they're blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
They're so important.
Yes, I know, yeah.
That happens at airports a lot.
That does happen in airports alot, yes.
Number eight people who don'tuse turn signals.
Yeah, honestly, that peeves meless than the person when you
get to like a four-way stop ortwo-stop and they don't know
(39:53):
that it's their turn to go.
I just always go, I stop andthen I go because I figure
you're going to take forever.
You're on the right, you havethe right way, but you're never
going, so I'm going to go.
Number nine leaving cabinetsand drawers open.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
No, that doesn't bother me.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Yeah, does Bill do that?
Kitty, I do that and it bothersBill.
There you go, go.
Yeah, I don't do that either.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
I wouldn't say barney does either but my rationale is
that I'm not done in thatcabinet, done yeah I will take.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Yeah, you know, like if you're taking something out
to use it and then you're goingto put it right back, I get it.
I would not shut the cabinetdoor and then open it back up.
Yeah, yeah makes sense.
This last one I thought waskind of funny number 10, and I
can't imagine that it really isnumber 10, but they have
microwaving fish in the office.
Oh, but I would say, likemicrowaving any stinky stuff it
(40:56):
doesn't have to be just fish.
That is kind of annoying.
Yeah, yep, there you go.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
Okay, Well, I think we had really good, interesting
ones.
I do too.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
I do too.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
It just proves that you know, some things don't
bother us, Some things reallybother us, yeah I feel better
having just being able toexpress these get it off my
chest, it's very cleansing, verycleansing, very therapeutic
(41:33):
session tonight, ladies, thankyou, and if someone out there
listening needs some therapy aswell and would like to share
their big pet peeves, we wouldlove to hear them.

a friend who uses the words,these ones, me and him um choose
with their mouth open drives athree wheel man motorbike.
