I would like to wish all HTMFers a restful Labor Day. I know that these days Labor day has lost a lot of its significance, what with all the stores open except for the government agencies and banks. Never the less, to those who still hang onto tradition, have a restful day.
It looks like a slow evening on the site, so I thought I might try to start a listing of people’s pet peeves.
My pet peeve for the past several years has been the hours of operation of the Prince Rupert Public Library. Several years ago they cut back on Saturday hours. Then they started the practice of keeping the Library closed on Sundays in the months that schools are out. How many rainy August Sundays I wished I could access a facility that my tax Dollars pay for. But I think, for me, the most irritating and frustrating policy that has evolved is when there is a long week end, as this Labor Day, they close the Library on Saturday too! Monday is the Civic holiday, not the Saturday preceding it! I don’t know if the Library workers are unionize, but being City workers they probably are. This is a hit to their wages. (This is probably the reason the City has done this) If any one has any information to clarify any of this it would be welcome!
So to start, this is my pet peeve (and I have several more). Please continue this thread with your’s
I hate feet, they’re nasty 
I agree…I’ll never be an Al Bundy type shoe salesman! 
Why do they call it ovaltine, if it comes in a round bottle?
People who live in Rupert and complain about it not having the infrastucture and/or chain stores of a town 3 times the size.
People who don’t return phonecalls when it is important and you have left MANY messages… 
People who call themselves Heros but can never see past the corner of their desk.
Oh yes, feet are gross. But shoes… oh shoes are perdy! lol
Shoppers in grocery stores who stand yacking in the aisles while you are desperately trying to get by and then they look at you like you have interrupted them or the assholes that surround the escalators at the mall with all their kids and carriages and don’t move for anyone.
Shoppers in grocery stores who desperately trying to get by while I talk with a friend in the aisles and then they look at you like you are in thier way. Like they just cant go around.
lmao
the fountain of youth at the city hall all the dozen strollers there if they would just turn off the fountain there then there wouldnt be so many kids having kids
People who throw their garbage on the ground in plain sight of a garbage container.
On second thought, anybody who throws their garbage on the ground.
Empty juice/milk containers placed ever so nicely back in the fridge!
If they turn off the fountain, they would have nothing to do Sooooooo, more kids in a few months time…LOL
Cell phone users, have none or little etiquette. People, if your at the till paying for your items, tell the caller you’ll call them back. I have on numerous occasions had cell phone users completely ignore anything I have said " like HELLO " and continued to yak on the f’n phone the whole transaction. Not even a thanks, or bye…but keeping there caller informed of exactly what just transpired… anti social world we have become. Twitter LMAO, what a waste of your lifetime.
People on cell phoens whlie using the toilet.
NOBODY want’s to talk to you that fucking bad :x
I only post on HTMF while on the toilet. Flush.
People who can’t comprehend the process of a lineup.
STFU and stop jerking like you’re a spaz that needs to pee. You’re at the BACK, loser. You get served when you get to the front.
And those ladies who dart out of the lineup while the cashiers ringing up their stuff and go grab something else while everyone waits.
And that whitehaired fat lady that argues about her 3 Overwaitea points she’s sure they missed every goddam time, so the whole TOWN goes to a different line up the minute they see her.
Got to love the people that get to front of the line,at timmies and still don’t know what thet want
Listening to my idiot neighbours hurling out on the street after a night of partying.
