Pet Peeves
 

Please share your pet peeves. Here are mine:

Restaurants thinking that I can't tell that water is being poured into my refill to save them a litle money.

People using the term "I would argue that" to say that they would argue WITH something. Would it kill you to put the word "with" in there to be less confusing, since "to argue" is supposed to mean "to assert"??

L.A. LAW mysteriously discontinuing being one of the 5 most popular shows of all time, and doesn't even make TV Guide's top 50 list! :frustrated: Even during this show's worst season (in my opinion, of course) it won the People's Choice Award; now everyone has forgotten about it?

Guys named "TODD"! Ok, I stole this one from George Carlin.

When people tell other people who they are and are not allowed to marry.

HUNTING. Let's have someone try to blow you away, and see how much you like it. Besides, what is the SPORT in hunting down a deer with a rifle? How about a bear with your fists, or maybe a small knife? Aren't you being just a TINY bit cowardly? Ooh, big man with a gun; what a badass.

When people call Bill Maher politically correct, an ultra liberal, a socialist or some other such nonsense. The guy is for the death penalty, defends the tobacco companies, complains about feminists and has called people "retards" for crying out loud. PC? Ultra Liberal? Oook. In Europe, this guy would be considered to be a little to the right.

When people complain about certain words being offensive, while they themselves consistently treat people like crap by rolling their eyes or some other dumb *****. Does the language you use really determine whether you are being rude or not, or does your attitude?

FARGO. 'Nuff said.

I expect to lose my "respected" status with this one, but that's ok. ;)

AGREE .........................

and.............

Men who think because they buy you a drink you owe them a F#@K......

Men who think that lesbians/bisexual women "encounters" are there God given right to watch and get off on...........that pisses me off..........If you're invited to watch......fine.......but if you're not......don't friggin beg..........

AGREE .........................

and.............

Men who think because they buy you a drink you owe them a F#@K......


damn it :D, Mine, deception, thats about it, people who think im stupid enough to fall for it and people who think im stupid (with Bullet as the exception he is allowed to think im stupid, he's seen me do stupid things)

and rapists, wife bashers, or bashers in general

Girls who say they're lesbians then don't let you watch.

1.Those who dump someone without confronting them personally
2.Liars
3.Cheaters
4.Rapists
5.Molesters
6.A**hole managers at work

1. Girls who have you beaten up when you ask them out.
2. Jerks who spread false rumors about you behind your back (i.e. liars and gossip-mongers).
3. Delusionary psychopaths who believe themselves to be Jesus (like Charles Manson).

Oh, yeah, I forgot... girls who let you buy them a drink and then refuse to **** you!

;D just kiddin', Nikki!

And, of course, the really irritating people who habitually put words in your mouth! Really gets me mad! :mad:

And another pet peeve: gay Nazis!

OH yeah... like you really run into these all the time... mmhmm.

A good number of responses so far have not been pet peeves. Oh well...

Kong is really peeved by the sound created by fingernail files or emery boards. They make Kong involuntarily cringe.

As with fingernails, I dislike it when people scratch their fork across a plate, agghhh!

Old people who expect to take your seat on a bus, it's not theirs!

People who only hate gay, and not all Nazis! :sick:

Never had that happen to me, but if it did, they would be bitchslapped back into their youth.

The talent less Britney Spears… (ever heard her solo :sick: )

Martha Stewart… (Her voice grates on my nerves and I already know how to make a bed dammit)

People who don’t understand what the word NO means… (especially telemarketers)

Polls… (2000 people DONOT represent the majority)

Restaurants who have an item on the menu but wait until you’re ordering it to inform you they are out of that particular thing… (why do they have it on the menu in the first place if they can’t keep enough on hand)

Getting fast food from the drive though only to discover when I get where ever I am going, they gave me the wrong order or half of it is missing… (it’s not rocket science people)

Ignorant people who make fun of other people because they’re different… if we were all alike it would be boring as hell…

Parents who are so wrapped up in themselves, they ignore their children..

Parents who refuse to believe their “little angels” might actually be “little devils” when they’re not around…

Chalk on a blackboard…

People who can’t find their edit buttons and keep posting one post after another… (coughdjangocough);D

My real, not-joking pet peeves are:

1. ***hole bosses! f****** a******* m***** f****** c*** ****** b****!!

2. People who say "I'm the manager" when you want to complain, when you know damn well they're not the f****** manager. Then when the manager does come, he's as f****** stupid as the employee!!

3. Waiting in line at the DMV, or court house, or resturant etc.. I'm American, I want instant gratification! What's this line crap?

4. George m***** f****** W. Bush!

5. Bill O'**** sucker. I used the channel blocker thing to block out Fox news and his Scarborough clone. Hahaha! **** you!

Hey, try visiting California, dude! (just kiddin' ;))

Well, now that you bring it up, I don't particularly have any fondness for any sort of Nazis, gay or straight, to tell you the truth...

I think I will add one…

People who can’t express themselves without resorting to excessive profanity… :indifferent:

Hmm... how does the edit button resolve this?

If you forget to post something, you can use your edit button and add it on to your previous post… but I was teasing because everyone does it... even me... :D

Well, what I do is click on the reply button, which automatically quotes the selected post! They used to have an option where you could select multiple posts and click on a "Reply to selected" button to post your reply. But, sadly, that's gone now! :(

Cait is right just click on edit, you don't need the other way now. :rolleyes:


PS I have just done it as I forgot to add, glad you hate all Nazies :D

Pet Peeves:
1. Professors who don't erase everthing off the board


2. People who suck the saliva through their teeth


3. People who wait until the last minute to put their signal light on before they start turning. Even worse is when they don't signal at all.

On the other hand the Random Acts of Kindness I love:
1. People who return a smile

2. People who wave to let you into or out of traffic

3. People who will wait to hold the door open for you when you're coming in behind them

Tell me is something eluding you, Sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you want to find out what's behind these cold eyes
You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise...

Claw your way? Toosie...you're going to scare her. Now give us a kiss.~~

Sunshine...
Toose is really one of the warmest people here.....and if you touch those cold eyes of his...I'll bet he'll grow even warmer. ;D



Back on topic...Pet Peeves...

At the moment...
...Pop up ads that make my computer do funky things....and then crashes. >.<;;;



When my cat...

...wakes me up at 3 or 4 in the morning for attention...using various types of loud meows and knocking things off our dresser.

...rips up our carpet and continues to sound pathelic when we try to lock her out.

...sharpens her claws on my nice furnature.

>.<;;;

She’s just lucky she’s so darn cute. http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/cat3.gif



There's more...but I'm too tired at the moment.

Sir Toose, I can't honestly say that I was expecting this sort of reply, but please do tell ...what's behind those cold eyes.

Back to the topic another pet peeve I have is the sound of someone chewing on ice.

Since I began working at a retail store, it's amazing how many pet peeves I have towards shoppers. Having been a shopper myself, I'm ashamed to admit I used to do the things I now despise.



People who cut in line and act like they deserve to be there.

People who don't already have their checks made out to where they just need fill in the amount, but instead wait until the last minute to fill everything in while the line is backed up.

People who go shopping, pick up an item, decide they don't want it, then just toss it any-old-where in the store.

Customers who see me wearing my bright green shirt with the company logo emblazened across my back, and my name tag above my left chest, and still ask me (usually as I'm in a hurry helping someone else), "Excuse me, do you work here?"

Managers and assistants who do not communicate with each other, causing employees to follow ones order, thereby excluding the other's and getting questioned by both as to why a task is not done.

Employees who whine about their jobs, when clearly every corporation is willing to make sacrafices against you when it comes to money.

The constatnt sound of fingers tapping on the counter when someone is waiting for something

People who , when they jhave a runny nose , wipe it on their shirt.

And I always seem to get right behind them... :rolleyes:

Pet Peeves...

• When I forget, misplace or lose things I shouldn’t.

• When my kids fight/bicker over silly things.

• Phone solicitors....... >.<;;;

• Motorcyclists who weave in and out of traffic at full speed. That kind of recklessness really gets to me.

• Getting stuck in traffic

• Cell phones! People who conduct their personal business in my ear on train or in other public areas. I can understand somethings, but really...what’s happened to privacy!

• Corporations who decide to lay people off at Christmas time...

• Intollerance and attitudes towards kids/people with disabilities.


and...

• When I accidently hit the reply button instead of the edit button and double post. >.<;;;

learning Hondo has only just seen Blade Runner, ah well I haven't seen Godfather 2 or 3 yet.

LOL..... Well better late than never

Going to a video store and the clerk being younger than me, less knowlagable about film than me, But no matter how many video stores i apply they wont even take a second look at me even thought i have had two weeks full time experiance working at one (Non-Payed).

Seeing some d*ck head guy pretend he realy loves this girl and cares for her and then go off with his freinds and bad mouth her, AND THEN she cant even see what a cock she's dating

Smarmy deputy priceaple's abuse there power

Teacher Librarians who abuse what little power they have, and pull you off the chair as you swing on it.

It's Dangerous!

ok when ppl just give you dirty looks...like on the bus.....really annoying!!

when you cant find jeans that fit.....ok not everyone is 6f hehe

Dirty ehhhh ;)

Well at least there not looking at your chest

Nextel radio phone things. Every time I hear that bleep-bleep noise I want to rip my ears off. Also people in movie theaters whose phones accidentily go off and then they look at the caller ID for a minute as if they are trying to decide whether or not they want to talk to the person. If it rings just hang it up immediately and put it on silence!

Styrofoam Squeeks.
Dry hands.
Messy dektop screens.

burping in public
immaturity

Animal Cruelty, Don't peeve my pets or anybody else's pet.

People, I like hanging out with people as little as possible,
social or professional setting.

Has Django turned into a Ninja Turtle?

;D

Okay, Pet Peeves:

People who don't say thanks when you hold open the door for them.

People who take advantage of the fact that you're holding the door open for the person in front of them and walk right through.

Artist's Block

I'll add others later.

Ok, here's one that sets me to seething. Men on a train or bus who don't offer their seats to women or small children. I think it's pathetic when a twenty/thirty something year old male will sit in his seat pretending to sleep or pretending to be so absorbed in their book/paper that they don't notice granny or young mommy with baby standing on a moving vehicle. Or young teens who could stand for hours sit there when a grey hair is standing next to them. I feel like grabbing them by the loose flesh under their chin and leading them to an open window...

...and then closing that window so as to shove their fat and selfish faces through it.

I hear you, Bri. :yup:

I hate...

...people who overemphasize the "v" sound when they speak, making it sound like an "f".
...people who use apostrophes when simply pluralizing a word ("Dogs are cool" becomes "Dog's are cool").
...fat, lumpy chicks who wear tight hip-huggers and baby T-shirts. Can they not understand that this makes them look even worse?
...people who jump to conclusions.
...songs that use the shimmery chimes.
...men who talk about sports incessantly when no one else in the group could give a sh*t.
...uncreative liars.
...any kind of edible jelly or jam that isn't grape.
...willful ignorance.
...people that won't watch black-and-white films simply because the films are black-and-white--this is simply a representative of the "won't try it because of something entirely superficial" mentality that I loathe.
...my own laziness, in every aspect.
...dirty fingernails.
...Grape Nuts.

'Tisn't all of my pet peeves, but these represent many of the biggies. Especially the Grape Nuts. Ye gods, what the hell possesses people to actually eat such nastiness? :eek:

there are some words in the english language that i hate so much. The word "cuss" or any form of this word just grates on me. Some slang irritates me as well. The words "sl*t", "c*nt", "h*e","d*nk...uggghhh. I don't have a problem with swear-words, but those ones in particular are nasty.

Re: Pet Peeves
 

Conformity, even in language and/or argument... Using the currency of the moment.. "Straw man argument" and "virtue-signalling" and so many trendy words/activities people do without pausing to reflect why they follow.. Language, too. Everything is an acronym or an abbreviation now (which usually prompts a facetious, corny reply)

OMG, let me circle back to you on this. Laters. :p
