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. ;)

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

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).

Django 09-01-03 08:49 PM

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

Django 09-01-03 09:05 PM

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

Kong 09-02-03 12:53 AM

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!

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

sunfrog 09-02-03 05:15 PM

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!

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...

Caitlyn 09-02-03 07:16 PM

I think I will add one…

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