Camping pet peeves. People that bring radios camping and you can hear them from 3 sites away. I don't care how low the volume is, I can always hear it. Why not enjoy the sounds of nature instead? That's the purpose of camping.
People that have more people than allowed at one campsite then insist on making as much noise as possible at night. People who let their kids go screaming through the campground at night. Adults that have to talk so loud that everyone can hear them.
Same goes for people that get up really early and make noise. Slamming doors, banging kettles and talking really loud. Not everyone wants to get up at 6 am. Even though campground rules are after 7 am, please don't think that everyone is up by 7. Some might not be up until 8 am. This morning we had campers playing a radio at 6:20 am. Now that was annoying and also against campground rules.
We've also had people that play radios in the quiet zone of campgrounds. Those areas radios or anything like it aren't allowed at all.
People that bring barking dogs camping. If Rover barks, leave him at home. I have no problem with well behaved dogs camping.
We went camping in Waupaca last August and will never again go there. We had everything you listed and then some happen.
When everyone went to the River I stayed back to read my book thinking it would be really nice to relax, which is something I never get to do. Well the people right next to us had other plans for my quiet. They had car loads of people stop by to see them and they played their radios, drank till they all got so drunk they were wandering all over our campsite. Then they started playing with a ball and kept landing in our space. One girl was so drunk she peed her jeans and then stood there and kept laughing about it. This was just during the afternoon.
Then at night a few campsites down we couldn't believe how it sounded like they had a live band there with how loud the music was. It went until very late before they all quieted down.
Another thing, with all the extra visitors at the other sites they crowded over into our parking spaces and when everyone came back from the river, there was no where for 'us' to park. The owners didn't even care and said we could park down the little road! What? We rented the space, we wanted the parking that went along with it, was that so much to ask?
This was not a Yogi Bear style campground where you expect kids all over and people making noise, this was just a Ma and Pop style, with nothing fancy unless you count the fact that they had Halloween Night on the weekend we were there and had a loud ghost hunt through the woods with kids yelling. The kids loved it but after the afternoon I had it wasn't that much fun to hear even more noise.

Talk about popcorn...I hate it when you put your bag into the microwave and for whatever reason when it is done only half the bag popped.
Or worse, you hit the button for popcorn that always pops the bag perfectly and again for whatever reason it burns the popcorn. What is worse, it's your last bag you have.
Oh, and it has happened more than I want to think about.... You get your popcorn done just in time for the t.v. show you want to watch, and sit back to enjoy, and the show isn't on for some reason. Not fair. Boo hoo...

Try the state park by Waupaca. I know I said a few people were being noisy with the game, but it only lasted maybe 45 minutes at the most and was still done before 10 pm. During the night it was quiet. During the day it was quiet.
We've camped there 3 times and that's as bad as it got. So not too bad being that it was a filled campground. You can complain to the park office if there is an issue. Let them take care of it.
One year our noisiest neighbors were the chipmonks fighting over apples in a tree by our campsite. That got a little annoying so we made a note not to take that site again haha.
I did have to laugh at the people next to us. Kids were riding bikes going "downhill," if you want to call it a hill there, with no hands. I heard a kid yell, "no hands, " then CRASH and then waaaaah, screeeeeam! I saw that one coming lol. I knew sooner of later that would happen.
My oldest daughter has camped in a few places around Waupaca, I'll have to ask her if she has tried the state park there. The only problem with state parks is the chance you take after you drive all the way there that they could be full. Most won't take reservations or you have to reserve them so far in advanced. Most of the time I don't know we are going camping until a few weeks before. lol
There, I fit in a pet peeve, I think State Parks should have it where you can at least call ahead of time by a day or two and reserve a site, instead of the come and put your tent/camper down on the spot you want when you get here style most have going now.

I hate it when my husband makes popcorn and then leaves the empty bag on the sink instead of taking it outside to the garbage can which is only about four steps from the back kitchen door!
For some reason I can't stand the smell of the popcorn bag after it's popped...it smells like stinky feet! Ick! And another thing...I hate that I have to remind him to take the bag out every time he makes popcorn other wise he will just leave it there on the counter. You'd think he would remember to take it out without having to be reminded every single time! Geesh!

I hate having to reserve so far ahead too. If the weather stinks then you're out the money. I hate that they charge a reservation fee on top of the price of the campsite. What if I only want to camp for one night? Then I have to reserve for 2 nights to get one night reserved. Then the campsite sits empty for one day. Why is it too much hassle for the parks to reserve only one night? Do hotels charge reservation fees or charge you if you change the dates? Then why do state parks do that?
I remember when we used to just drive to the parks and get a site. That was before you could reserve online.
You really only need to reserve on Fri. or Sat. since weekdays are usually not that full. I miss being able to camp on Sun. thru Thurs. nights, but with work schedules and things being so ify for us right now we have to play it safe and reserve on weekends.

I was telling my husband that I get sick of reminding him things over and over. I just want to tell him once and be done with it.
Speaking of husband pet peeves. Mine always puts things back in a different place than before. It's a pain trying to find things when it's not where it should be. I'm forever going back in the kitchen cupboards to put items where they should be in the first place. I think I need to paint an outline of the dishes or food items on the shelf so he puts it back there. Then he wonders why he can never find any of his stuff when he's always putting things in the wrong place. He loses his car keys at least once a month.
Another husband pet peeve. Mine keeps putting mail and other papers at the end of the kitchen table or on the counter. I hate having to look at that mess all the time. I keep asking him if I need to buy more organizers from Office Depot. All he needs to tell me is what kind of organizer would work, like how big or how many slots. I started to put the papers right on his end of the table where he eats. Hoping he gets the hint. This is also the same guy that can't stand dirty dishes on the counter. Does that make sense?
LOL now I'm beginning to think I know why some women decide to stay single. It's a joke, guys.

At least yours puts things away. My husband rarely puts anything away. Most things get put on the kitchen table or desk when he comes in the door and that's where they usually stay unless I put them away or ask him to. Then I get the "Pa Kettle" response of "I'll get to that one of these days."
And about the key thing. I keep telling him to hang them up when he comes in and you would think he would learn after having to hunt through the whole house several times because one of the cats "stole" them off the table to play with them during the night, but nope, he still doesn't hang them up. There have been times when he leaves all of his keys in a pouch in his truck and I have to remind him to bring them in the house. He has never quite gotten around to making duplicate of any of his vehicle keys so if someone stole the pouch he would be SOL! I also wanted him to label the keys since he has probably over 50 sets of keys and I would have no idea what vehicles they went to if something ever happened to him!

I hate it when they do that! Mine will also open things up and not put the mail back in the envelope but tosses it all in a pile on the table instead for me to sort through. Grrrrr!
Ahhh.....the little things they do that bug the crap out of us, huh? LOL
I don't even bother sorting through his paper pile. I just make him do it. I guess neither of our husbands watched Sesame Street when they were putting things together that belonged together as in which one doesn't belong. Dear lord you should see my husband's tool chest. You would think it would make more sense to put all the wrenches together and all the screwdrivers together and so on. Then he spends so much time looking through the drawers for the right tool. Is putting things that are alike together really that difficult? I didn't think so.
Then there's the awful habit he has of not thinking ahead. Like when he paints on a car in the driveway and I ask him to put a tarp down first so there isn't a mess to clean up later. He would rather make a mess and then waste a lot of time cleaning up the mess when the mess could have been prevented in the first place. Doesn't take too much planning to think ahead.
Do you think this is turning into pet peeves about husbands? LOL Did you notice that most of the complaints are about messes that they make. Guess their moms didn't crack the whip enough when they were little.
Pet Peeve... When people don't return their cart to the corral or into the store (whichever is closest), but instead leave the cart in the way of others or where it could roll & do damage to a vehicle... why???? because they are too lazy to walk the few steps to assure this doesn't happen? or just simply because they are selfish & don't care?? I'm guessing they are selfish & lazy.
Another one... When someone does something for you by choice (such as a birthday gift) and then throw it in your face!
I have a friend who bought me breakfast on my birthday last month, which was way cool! However last weekend he asked me to go to the bar & buy for the both of us since he was broke, when i said "no, i don't support habits, it's why i quit smoking" he said "thats rude! i bought you breakfast on your birthday, it's the least you can do!" he then got a piece of my mind!
I hate that... i rather you not do me any "favors"!
Since my office mate is doing this now & i'm annoyed... chewing loudly, do you have to chew with your mouth all open & your gums smacking all gross like?? ugh!

I hate that. Just bad manners. Also, people that talk with food in their mouths. My mother in law does and my husband picked it up from her. Stop that! I don't want to see chewed up food.

Customer service reps speaking in slang or just simply using improper grammar... I am not saying i'm the best at keeping it proper lol BUT i am not trying to & i'm not being paid to speak to you in a correct manner!
I spoke to a rep at Charter one day & she used "naw" for "NO" and "uh huh" for "yes" & it annoyed me so bad i pointed it out... she didn't like me much.

Ick! I taught my kids early on not to do that, it's just simply gross!
When my husband and I go to the bar and he starts talking to the person on the other side of him. This is when we are seated at the bar. The way he sits leaning on the bar blocks my view of the other person and also I can't be included in the convo. So I'm left sitting there with no one to talk to. I tell him to lean back so I can see and hear what's going on. I said it's kind of rude to just let your wife sit while you talk to someone else. This lasts as long as until the next time we go out.
Naw, either it sounds like she's from down south or going to chew on your leg for a while. I know it's spelled gnaw, but still sounds like chewing.
lol funny
I even asked her where they are located, because she didn't have an accent & she said Rochester MN... I say "naw" for no as well, but many say i still have a bit of the Southern accent in me & others say i speak ghetto lol

That is rude. Whether it be your husband, a date or even a friend who does it... so annoying!!
