Aww, I'm sorry, it's not like you can control it. I know I shouldn't be annoyed by that because it's not your fault, but I gotta admit it really annoys me.:o

[miss soul fire]

Extreme sport athlets and their cool house, cool friends, cool clothes, cool parties....!!!!! :D

Don't worry, MSF. You've not heard one of my sneeze fests, so hopefully I don't annoy you. :D

I also cant stand people when they laugh or even do the littlest bit of a cough ya can hear flem and shit rattle in there chest. Its like the middle of summer and they still have it, its yuk.

[abcdefz]

A pet peeve of mine -- and maybe I've mentioned this before -- but I saw an egregious example yesterday:

Women who push ahead their babies in carriages so that traffic will stop and they can cross illegally. Man, that is cold. I saw it yesterday from my bus seat -- a woman crossed off the light rail tracks (wrong) to cut across a street where there was no crossing (wrong) right in front of the bus. The driver hit the brakes fairly hard to get the bus stopped.

the woman, of course, wasn't out in the street risking herself. Just the baby in its carriage. That's drives me nuts.

Obviously, a baby carriage is a sure-fire way to make tires screech. But... wow. That's just so cold.

[Yeti]

I use my boy as an umbrella.

[abcdefz]

Yeah, I'm not talking about that.

[Yeti]

What good is having a baby if you can't park in the baby spot at the grocery store and cross streets at your leisure?

[abcdefz]

Transference of feelings of worthlessness, guilt, and failure? I dunno.

and 5c pieces.

[Randetica]

i hate in when i go to cross the street at the traffic lights to find there's someone waiting at the lights but they haven't pressed the damned button.

haha

[Yetra Flam]

People who breathe loudly.
People who eat loudly, including eating with their mouths open, or talking with their mouth full, and breathing loudly whilst they are eating.
People who like, tap their feet and legs constantly.
Most girls.
Teenage moms.
Public transport.
Bad customer service.
People who have no concept of respecting the personal space of others. That's one of the worst ones. Yeah, sure i totally love parts of my body touched by parts of a stranger's body. That's totally and completely normal.

[mikizee]

i hate in when i go to cross the street at the traffic lights to find there's someone waiting at the lights but they haven't pressed the damned button.

i also hate hearing people clear them phlegm out of their throat and nasal cavity. it just sounds awful



95% of the time, I make sure I'm alone when I do this. The other 5%, I'm usually pretty sick and it's gotten reflexive.

It's really satisfying to hock up a big one, but I know that's mainly user preference. (y)


On the other subject, I get irrtated when someone at a traffic signal (or in an elevator) keeps punching the button repeatedly, as if that's somehow persuasive.

[Nuzzolese]

People who respond to someone else's misfortunes by listing their own

Audible gum chewing

Mispronunciation

Slow people

People on foot who walk right into traffic because they apparently think, since they're pedestrians, they're allowed to do whatever they want

messy kitchens, especially with dirty dishes sitting around

[b i o n i c]

overly polite people.

people who use unnecessarily use words with simpler, more common synonyms to display "intelligence".

people who chew with their mouth open.

selfishness. self-centered self-righteousness.

inability to forgive. or unwillingness to do so. people who like to punish others.

people who are inauthentic and talk behind peoples' backs, gossip. (cowards)

people who display authority every time they have the chance to.

chicks in pointy heels who walk like they're trying to kill the floor.

and this

Teenage moms.

that includes the teenage dads when they're around.


and this

but thats people who are selfish with the added fact that they don't listen to anyone else because they are so selfconsumed

[b i o n i c]

are you saying im an asshole because i used the word synonym?

[abcdefz]

No -- "synonym" was part of the sentence which made sense.

I wasn't suggesting you're an asshole, anyway (for what it's worth).

[b i o n i c]

i know you werent, i keed

people who unnecessarily use<big> words <instead of their> simpler, more common synonyms to <show> "intelligence".

that still might not make sense. i promise im not as inarticulate as i seem. and i won't even use a big word to prove it.

[abcdefz]

The "use unnecessarily use" part got things off to a good start, as well.

I mean, "also."

I mean, "TOO"!

FUCK, THIS IS HARD!

[b i o n i c]

holy shit, i didnt even catch that the second time.


one more pet peeve:

carelessness. often including my own

[abcdefz]

Sorry to pounce. It just struck me as kind of funny.

[b i o n i c]

what an asshole!

[Nuzzolese]

You must be annoyed by Dickens, then. Of course, he was sort of payed by the word so he wasn't trying to show off as much as he was trying to make money.

Maybe the person who uses what you think is a high-falutin show-off word, is actually just using a word they think is the most accurate. Maybe they're not trying to be presumptuos and display more intelligence than they have, they're just saying what comes to mind.

I'd rather have people use a variety of words to explain exactly what they're thinking, than intentionally dumb themselves down because it's supposedly polite. What the hell is the point of having a language with so many words, if you're not supposed to use them in polite conversation?

How dull would books and newspapaers and magazine articles be if people could only be mad and happy and funny, instead of furious and elated and witty? And how much would we lose in understanding each other?

I enjoy hearing a variety of words, I actually delight in the feel of words rolling off my tongue, almost as if they're an ice cream cone. And I like the images I get in my head when a really descripitive word is used.

Real poetry, if you ask me, is the meaning of something defined in a single word that no other word could possibly replace without turning it into something else.

[abcdefz]

I just remembered another pet peeve.

I'm thinking of restaurants, but this could be anything:

When someone tells you what time (or day and time) something will be ready, but then it's not ready. This becomes insulting when the person seems to imply that you have a problem for expecting something to be on time.

[beastieangel01]

people who wake me up. especially when it's something that can wait until I wake up or the next day.

more so when it's maybe an hour after I go to bed, or an hour right before I wake up. Because then I can't really get back to sleep easily.

DRIVES ME NUTS.

[abcdefz]

I can't stand it when someone who clearly doesn't like me is effusive or fake-nice, and I can feel the dagger going in my back as soon as I turn. I really hate that and don't really know what it's for.

I understand not being mean to someone just because you don't like them; that's laudable. But, to me, dripping honey all over someone doesn't exactly grease the wheels, either. Civility, to me, is just fine; being cordial or professional in no way seems to commit a person to rudeness or hypocrisy.

[b i o n i c]

laudable

what an anal cavity.

[abcdefz]

what an anal cavity.



I have follow-up jokes, if you like. :)

[b i o n i c]

that would gratify my to the highest degree.

[abcdefz]

Nahhh... it's Friday; I'm in a good mood.

Next!

Ahhh I know! I think they're trying to get as much out of you as possible by lulling you into a false sense of security with them, so that they'll have more material with which to shred you to pieces behind your back.

you're right. i do value the precision afforded by a large vocabulary, however, i don't think most people know what the hell they're talking about. it only annoys me when someone uses flowery language gratuitously. diarrhea of the mouth to make up for constipation of the brain. i dont think that's what the saying is for, but it sorta fits.

There might be some of that. Usually, I'm reacting to that type of person as someone who's lying to my face. My "I won't be fooled!" defensiveness gets its back up.

Usually by the time this sort of thing is going on, I'm pretty much turned off to the person, anyway, so any confidentiality is purely accidental.

Are you talking about the people on court TV?

"Your Honor, at that particular point in time I did not have possession of the vehicle, your honor, but he did tell me at a previous occasion that my cousin and myself would be entitled to the ownership of the vehicle, your honor..."

not necessarily in court - but yes, that. thats actually really funny extreme at an


and just generally... people who throw around the word quasi now all the time - wtf, did 'semi' go out of style?! they annoy me.

A friend once told me he was reading a book to become a better conversator. (y)

[TurdBerglar]

isn't that just used for exaggeration?

[Yetra Flam]

I'm going to sound like a horrible person, but i really cannot stand young children at all. I hate the sound of them trying to talk. People think it's cute, but it think it's irritating. And they have no volume control. They just run around screaming and babbling shit like they've just witnessed a murder or something. And parents let them do it because apparently it's important for children to express themselves?

[abcdefz]

Something that really bugs me?

When you get in a grocery line with one or two items, the person ahead of you has a cartful and the cashier hasn't started ringing them up,
the person with all the groceries sees you but doesn't offer to let you go ahead. Yes, I know, you got there first, but damn. It's gonna
take me ten seconds.

Pushy salespeople. I acknowledged you through the door and I did not head in your direction so that means I do not need any help. Stop fucking following me around the goddamned store asking me if I do.

People who scrape their forks on their teeth when they pull them out of their mouths. It sounds kind of nit-picky but I can't help it. It's bugged the shit out of me since I was a kid.

People who get behind me when I'm walking down the street and insist on staying within 15 feet of me for ten blocks. That shit drives me nuts. Unless we are downtown and it's rush hour and the streets are packed, there is no reason on earth for you to be that fucking close to me. Either drop back a little or speed up and pass me by, but either way, get the fuck away from me. I will actually stop where I'm at and stand still until the person passes me. My ex used to think I was nuts. I'm just not what you would call a 'people person'. If I don't know you, back the fuck up.

People that are too fucking lazy to learn how to pronounce my first name.

People with cell phones that insist on making sure you hear every fucking word of their boring ass conversations.

When the police lie and say, "You're not under arrest. We just want to take you down to the station and ask you a few questions." BULL-FUCKING-SHIT!!!

[Tone Capone]

It has always annoyed me when someone asks about my food while I'm eating or about to eat. This ALWAYS happens when I decide to eat at my desk at lunch and keep working. Someone will stop by and say "hey whatcha got there?" or "mmm that looks good" or "I had that last night, it was great!" "what's in that?" or any variation of that. I even had one person ask me "Hey what is that?" and I told him and he says "is it good?" I answered and he says "have you had that before?"...seriously? I mean COME ON! Today I was eating a burrito and some fucker walks up to me and goes "oh is that a burrito?" I mean seriously... did he NEED to ask if it was a burrito? Aren't burritos pretty standard looking??? Stupid son of a bitch.

Also,

It bothers me when people use weight machines incorrectly... especially the vertical press machine. It's supposed to work your pecs and there is a convienient little pedal that you push down with your feet to give you a lift off when you are lifting "heavy weight" and I constantly see fools using it the entire time they are using the machine! That bugs me. They keep their feet on that thing and push with their arms and legs! It bothers me mostly because there is an illustration on how to use the machine ON THE MACHINE! Weight machines aren't difficult at all, I mean it's not like free weights where you got to pay more attention to your form and blah blah blah... there is a picture! You don't even have to know how to read!!!

I'm need to chill out now.

[abcdefz]

I really don't like it when a cashier hands me currency and it's not same side up, all facing the same way. Don't know why this bugs me but it does.

[b i o n i c]

didnt you also say you hate to wait in line? when are they supposed to organize all their bills when you're in such a rush for mr hundred items in front of you to check out?

do you pay the cashiers with all your bills same side up? HUH?!?! DO YOU?! DO YOU?>!?!?!?! i wonder if that puckers HER butthole! :D



i cant stand really loud stomping superpointy high heels. they fill my heart with hatred. especially the chicks who seem to feel the need to announce their presence by clopping around their hooves like they're trying to kill the floor. shut the fuck up!

[abcdefz]

I do pay with all my currency facing in the same direction, yes.

My pet peeve with waiting in line is just when I've got one or two items in my hands and the person in front of me has seen this, but still
unloads a huge fucking grocery cart full of stuff rather than just wave me in. I realize the person has no obligation to do so, but...
come on. Hell, just this morning I let two people go in front of me because the woman who was fetching my cigarettes was dragging
her ass.

It's just the decent thing to do.

[abcdefz]

Women who don't know how to walk in heels just scream "trash" to me.

I actually wouldn't wish heels on anyone, because I'm sure they're uncomfortable and probably fuck with a woman's back in the long run. But if
you're going to do it, learn some grace.

[b i o n i c]

thank you!

and the super pointy ones just scream cunt to me, like the ones that make their feet like a five inches longer. ugh.

-People with stupid double standards. Like, a girl my wife works with doesn't feel the need to call her "In-Law" Aunts and Uncles (like her blood uncle's wife) "Uncle Joe" or "Aunt Jane", just Joe and Jane. But she insists that now that she's married, her niece's call her husband "Uncle Michael".

-This one is going to sound incredibly racist, but it isn't. People that live in the U.S. for more than 5 years, that don't speak or understand a lick of English. How do they survive? Even simple things like reading a menu, or instructions just has to be a gigantic pain in the ass.

-Tourists in New York City. At least pretend you've seen a building taller than 3 stories before.

I probably have more.

[MC Moot]

So,I went to the Doc's today,yeah?....and the appt is for 10:50 am and being a Virgo and fairly busy cat all round I was there ten mins early...like I alway's am...and as with the past 4 visits they sat me for 50mins past the scheduled time,waiting...I mean it's consistent....like my time means shit...before I've been 15mins late and been told I would have to reschedule...and you're stuck cause finding a good private physician these days is a challenge...so you sit there and take it,please and thanks,style…you immortal fuck’n physician you….(n)

[NoFenders]

Slow pokes in the left lane. There's two or three other lanes you can be using to drive 55. Why hang side by side for miles. I know they do it on purpose. How can they not notice the 20 cars flashing lights and horns directly behind them.

Tne guy/girl that has a phone glued to their ear for miles on end. Never once looking into a mirror, unless to see what their hair is doing that second. Always oblivious to anything around them. Always surprised when you drive by flipping the bird because they nearly ran you off the road while changing lanes with no signal and not one look.

The guy who asks if he can borrow some change because he needs gas money to get back to Miwaukee.

The guy who asks if he can have some money since he's a "Victim of Katrina" not noticing that I ate at the same Italian joint that he did, and sat at the table next to him. My bill was over $75, I wonder what his was, and I wonder why in the world he would need any of my money. :rolleyes:

I honestly believe that patients' time should be billable. Make it something reasonable, like fifteen minutes, and then the clock starts ticking.

[beastiegirrl101]

I have the same prob at EVERY doctor as well MC Moot. Always wait at least 30 min past my scheduled time to get in BUT working on the other end of it I can tell you that the doctors office I worked in would have us schedule 5 people in the same 15 min brackett because he would only spend about 3-5 min with each patient....so it was just nuts when he ran over. It's all just crap.

[abcdefz]

I just changed doctors because my guy was so lame. Effective March 1. Then I'll get my ear infection (?) checked. (y)

[beastiegirrl101]

my problem with ALL of my doctors that whenever I call to make an appointment the availability is like 3 months out, I have an issue NOW....not 3months from now. All the people I know seem to have this problem as well, no such thing as getting in same day anymore. I always have them put me on the cancellation call list though, sometimes ...it helps.

[abcdefz]

Imagine that there used to actually be house calls. :eek:

I bet…I must say I notice my Doctor spends considerably more time with elderly patients which I suppose is proper…and to his credit once I’m in he’s in no hurry, even hit’s the small talk bedside manner thing really well…

[AceFace]

i hate the term "in your neck of the woods" i hate that our local weatherman has picked that up from al roker.

also on the pushy salesman tip...

we had to buy a new car this week. matt's car died a quick death late last week.

so we went to several places looking for a little chevy s10 so we could haul stuff in the summer (we love gardening and plan to buy some trees this year). anyway.

so we go to a few mom and pop owned places and find some good deals and real friendly people. then we see this gorgeous nissan. not the truck we were looking for but we wanted to know the price. it just happens to be at a larger dealership.

so we go and ask about it. the guy makes us sit in his office while he talks to his manager about how much to sell it for. no price on the truck which is annoying as fuck. then they feel us out and find out we have good credit and blah blah which makes the price go up, i'm sure. we were in there an HOUR before we could get the guy to tell us the price. it was so fucking annoying. THEN he calls and bugs us all the next day. we knew what we wanted to pay, and we knew we didn't want to pay for it for more than 4 years. he could not believe that!

we went and bought a sweet ride from the friendly people at the mom and pop dealership and never called that asshole back.

[abcdefz]

It drives me nuts when people don't cash my check promptly. I want that thing to clear and let me mark it off.

I had one landlord who would just let the check sit for weeks. No idea why. I started just paying by money order.

[beastieangel01]

I hate it when men with short haircuts do not taper the hair at the neck. Then the hair is just long enough where it touches the collar and kind of bunches up sometimes and I DO NOT KNOW WHY IT DRIVES ME NUTS.

I always want to get a razor and taper it FOR them.
A friend mentioned that maybe it bothers me because it's the beginning steps towards a mullet. Maybe he's right. But god I HATE IT. Ha.

[abcdefz]

I missed shaving a spot on my neck yesterday. Allllll day with the beginning of a soul patch on my adam's apple. :(

[abcdefz]

Grrrrr customer service pet peeve:

I hate it when I call some place for information and the person responds in an angry way to a legitimate question.

Hey -- you may have lived with your store's policy for years, but how am I supposed to know?

So I just called a pharmacy (where I'm already in their system) and asked if I could fax in a prescription so they can prepare my meds, then
just show up with the prescription when I come to collect it.

Apparently only doctors can fax in a prescription. Okay, fine: you don't have to fucking yell at me.

[beastieangel01]

agreed!
I really hate it when people are rude for no reason. HATE.

Maybe I'm just too nice. But still.

I also hate seeing trash on the ground when there is a trashcan two steps away. It's really not that hard, people. I ended up picking up a few pieces of trash and throwing them in the trash can this morning while I was walking to work.

[abcdefz]

No shit.

I make a deal with myself that, at the bus stop, I'll pick up at least one piece a day. Do my part, whatever. It just seems like sheer contempt
to litter a foot or three away from a trash can.

[Freebasser]

I hate people who hate things!

That's the irony of it!

[beastiegirrl101]

we always had like 7-10 bags of different types of potato chips open growing up and my mom would do this thing when they all got low that she would dump them all into one bag and it drove me nuts because they all took on the flavor of whatever bag she put them in!

I also hate seeing trash on the ground when there is a trashcan two steps away. It's really not that hard, people. I ended up picking up a few pieces of trash and throwing them in the trash can this morning while I was walking to work.

i'm like that with trash [litter here]. i cured myself of the habit of picking up random bits of litter tho when i once picked up someone's filled dog poo bag and got some of it on my hands :eek:

yeah, but trashers and rude people are my main pet peeves. those people who open sweets and just let the wrappers fall to the ground, or throw their cigarette cellophane/junk out of car windows. lovely!

we always had like 7-10 bags of different types of potato chips open growing up and my mom would do this thing when they all got low that she would dump them all into one bag and it drove me nuts because they all took on the flavor of whatever bag she put them in!

...I find myself doing it with cereal now. :(
ah no, mixing chips... that can't be nice!

when we have low cereal bags, i scrunch up the bag(s) and
add it to other full boxes. then nobody can find the cereal tho :|

Stores that don't post their business hours.

[abcdefz]

I guess I'm easily irritated.



Bugs the shit out of me when you're in line at a register and the person in front of you has finished their transaction but just keeps on
chatting with the cashier. Especially when the cashier is clearly using body language to say "move along."

Look -- step aside and let me pay for my shit and get going.

[abcdefz]

People repeatedly honking their car horn to alert someone indoors that they've arrived. ESPECIALLY at odd hours.

Man -- do you not realize 1) it's noise pollution, and 2) other people live in your world?

There's a chance it also means that the person indoors is running late, which isn't the best, either.

If somebody's coming to pick me up, I'm ready and waiting outside for them to pull up. That's just courtesy.

Anyway. One honk or maybe a couple of rapid honks will do.

Not:

HONK. HONK. HONK. HONK. HONK. HONK. HONK.

Sounds more like a car alarm, anyway. (n)

People who breath loudly annoys the hell outta meeeee!

Also people who sneeze twice or more in a row. I know it's not their fault, but it makes me wanna suffocate them! :p

I always sneeze at least twice and usually three times. I thought all sneezes came in threes.

[AceFace]

my neighbor just bought an SUV with a back up warning BEEP BEEP BEEP. i never knew they left the house so many times in the middle of the night until they got this damn truck.

i haven't slept well in a week thanks to those inconsiderate neighbors. there's GOT to be an off switch with those things. and if not, park on the street so you don't have to back up at 4AM. one day i'm gonna snap and start yelling shit out the window at them.

i swear it's so loud the other day i thought it was the smoke alarm in the house. i jumped up and ran downstairs before i realized it was those assholes.

[abcdefz]

Maybe if you expressed this politely, they could work something out.

[AceFace]

yeah. i guess i could think about being polite. :p they're the type of neighbors that don't ever wave and could care less that you are on the earth.

it's hard to talk to them, and i'm a pretty friendly person.

[NoFenders]

Trust me, people who sneeze 10 times in a row are just as annoyed as you.

I also hate seeing trash on the ground when there is a trashcan two steps away. It's really not that hard, people. I ended up picking up a few pieces of trash and throwing them in the trash can this morning while I was walking to work.


A lot of the time the trash was thrown in the can, but flew out. At my place in FL they were trying to get a group of people to drive around golf carts and pick up trash because they said people were littering too much. Luckily there was a sound mind in the bunch, and he went for a walk. On his walk he noticed that people did put stuff in trash cans, but the cans were always full or close enought to it. So, instead of hirring the garbage briggade at a huge price, they bought more garbage cans and the "littering" went down considerably. So, most of the time you see trash flying around, note that somebody probably tried to throw it away properly.

:cool:

[abcdefz]

I dunno. At our bus stops, the trash cans all have those lids with the little swinging doors. It'd be kind of hard for trash to liberate itself.

[NoFenders]

Well, I guess ya got a slob problem. :cool:

[abcdefz]

We do.

Like, the other day I was at the bus stop, and someone had crushed a soda can, wedging it between the fence rail and this cement post...
roughly four feet from the trash can. This in addition to food in a styrofoam take-out that had been scattered and other misc. trash.

The food left behind I sort of can't judge, because maybe somebody's doing it for homeless people. But other times, some trash is so
strewn about that it obviously took more trouble to tear shit up than just bin it in the first place.

[NoFenders]

Yeah, the food is questionable since there are people who will eat your leftovers. But anything else is just a sign of pure laziness or disrespect. Either way it's intollerable.

:cool:

I've said this before, but it just happened again this morning:

Bugs the shit out of me when the person at the head of the line keeps chatting up the person at the register well after the transaction
is finished, meanwhile the line grows longer and longer with people tapping their feet patiently...

Especially bad when -- like this morning -- it's some old guy getting his jollies on some pretty girl at the counter. Dude -- you're not
charming her; she's paid to be nice to you; move the fuck along.

Yeah, I know sometimes people get their social needs met through this sort of interaction, but move the fuck along. :mad:

it cost me 54 bucks to fill up yesterday, a new personal record

[BangkokB]

Taxi Drivers that don't have change. I tell them they are unprofessional and I guess will just ride around until the meter hits the Magic #

Sometimes I tell them that if I were at McDonald's would they not have change? No! So be a professional and have the change. Usually they'll find the change after I give the "Well I guess we'll just have to drive around then Professor Ignatowski"

Tipping is out of control.

[abcdefz]

It's not exactly a pet peeve, but kind of along those lines:

I want to laugh in the face of the waiter who gives minimal service, then asks if I want change.

Um... a ten dollar meal, I give you a twenty dollar bill, you didn't even refill my water -- you're damned right I want change.

What's funnier yet is when they don't break your change down. As if you give me a ten dollar bill and I'm going to throw it down because
that and some twenties is all I have. Right.

[AceFace]

my co worker is back there just cackling away. i mean. i'm a cackler, don't get me wrong. but i know when it's annoying, and work is the most annoying place for you to keep doing it over and over.

Most restaurants here include a 10% Service Charge and then 7% Value Added Tax. If a restaurant decides for me what I should tip and have already included it in my bill I give them Nothing- Thanks for doing the thinking for me on that one
On the otherside of the coin: If the restaurant/bar doesn't include the 10% then I generally tip way past the borders of the 10% Mark

NOTE: When I was looking at buying a business here and the broker tried to direct me to the failboats known as restaurants, I found out that the house typically keeps 3% of that. Surprised Me: I thought they'd get it all

I avoid restaurants with the built-in tip if I can. 1) I think it's rude, 2) It almost suggests that they lack confidence in their servers, 3) I don't
want a tip passing through the house's hands, frankly.

I really hate it when I say to a customer or anyone for that matter, "Hello", and they say, "Hey, how ya doin?" and I say, "fine thanks, how are you?" and then they don't say anything back.

I don't want to be impolite by not answering their "question", but it's always just a thing they say, they're not really asking, but without fail, I respond with an answer and it pisses me off when 90% of the people who say it aren't waiting for a response.

that and people who come in and say, "how's your day going?" and actually seem like they want to chat...and I'm like, "uh, fine". because what does it fucking matter, what are we gonna go out to lunch later? screw you, mind yo biznazz.

I used to really hate that, too, but I sort of came to terms with it as an almost animal thing, like dogs sniffing butts or something.

Something that continues to bug me, though, is when people want to sort of insist on my mood being magnificent or something.
Like the other day, I ran into our apartment manager and said how ya doing -- great, how you doing? -- fine -- just "fine?" --
which kind of stopped me, and I said, "Yeah -- I'm fine."

I mean, what the hell?

People saying reoccuring when they mean recurring.

[Dorothy Wood]

I think I didn't know before just now that reoccuring wasn't a word. oops.

a couple of my coworkers, though I love them dearly, say "I'm weary of...", when they mean "wary" or "leery".

Semi-hysterical, forwarded email messages warning about this or that, and pass this on to all of your friends, etc. etc. I mean, twenty seconds

Also: relatives who only forward stuff. Never a personal "how ya doing?" or anything. Just "TAKE TEN SECONDS TO PRAY THIS PRAYER IF
YOU DON'T EVERYONE YOU KNOW WILL DIE" stuff. Eek.

[hpdrifter]

Yeah, this girl did it twice yesterday. She looked plenty able bodied to me. The thing I don't understand is the elevator takes for ever. Its incredibly slow. I was like, really, you're going to stand here for 5 minutes waiting to go up one floor? I wouldn't ever use it but I have to go up 7 floors.

Snoring. Hate it! My ex used to snore a little if he'd been drinking heavily and I always used to wake him up and tell him to knock it off.

A couple of weekends ago I bought a boy home after a massive night out, and the arsehole snored so loudly that I couldn't sleep - even after staying out till 8am. GAH.

I also hate it when people bring home things just because they were cheap or free, I have a juicer sitting on my bench at the moment because my housemate got it off someone for free - we don't use it. We won't use it. BUT IT WAS FREE.

actually i just like giving the bus extra change to lug around.

People that double park in the middle of the street. I mean, there is plenty of street parking just 1/4 block down, but these people think they need to be right in front of the coffee shop.

And, even if there is no street parking, pull into someone's driveway. You can inconvenience one person, or the whole city, and you choose the latter? Probably because you don't want to look them in the eye -- not that anyone can see your eyes behind your Gucci shades and tinted windows!

Again with the pet peeves:

If I'm calling in an order to go and you tell me what time to pick it up, have it fucking ready when I get there!

So I called in my sandwich order and they said ten or fifteen minutes. Fine. I get there and no one's even started it yet. The sandwich maker
guy is saying, "Sorry, but we have this seven-family order we have to get ready" while -- seriously -- five other co-workers are just standing
there. Yeah -- you guys look really fucking busy.

Kind of defeats the purpose of calling in an order if you aren't even going to start it before I get there.

[gbsuey]

yeah the guy who fixes my car does that-i'll call to see how much longer they're gonna be and he says they're just about to start now
so i guess if i hadn't called it would have been even later that he gets started!
the trouble is,he's a nice guy and i know he wouldn't rip me off so i never want to take my car elsewhere.

Taking in orders from work and having them come out all wrong.

I went to pick up some Thai - started reading the list to the guy at the register when he asked to just take the list I wrote down. Gives me a sealed bag for about 7$ more than our estimate.

I get back and not only did the food cost significantly more than on the menu, it didn't come with any of the eggrolls etc. that came with the "combo" I wrote on the list.

We go back pissed and the guy claims they've changed management and we have the wrong menu, things are more expensive, and none of the items I WROTE DOWN AND HANDED TO HIM were on the menu in the same way or came as combos.

What. A. Dick.

customer: I want to put a mat on it, what kinds do you have?

me (still trying to quickly assess a base price, pulling out a basic white mat): well, if you'll let me...

customer: no no, how about black?

me (pulls out black mat): well, I was just trying to get an idea of size so I can give you a price...

customer: no, I think I want fabric, do you have fabric?

me: *head explodes*


actually, I cut that short, it went on and on until finally she picked out everything before I could even give her an idea of price. she ended up buying something, but I had a hard time not slapping her.

couples who refuse to stop holding hands no matter what obstacle, human or object, is in their way.

the stairs at the underground station can only fit an extremely limited amount of people going up/down it, especially in rush hour. this morning a couple could not walk side by side together up the stairs as other people were crushing in, but they kept holding hands by him being in front, her behind, in this really awkward positioning (the stairs aren't just straight up - there are a few bends) and basically he was just dragging her up the stairs by the hand.

then at the turnstiles they kept their hands together over the separating section. then! then it turns out they went for the wrong exit, so they turned to change direction when i was practically right behind them, where their hands met, and instead of LETTING GO so i could keep moving FORWARDS they shuffled to the side as a unit while i shuffled to the same side, thus starting that embarassing wait - you go, no - this way no no no - the other way! thing you get if you bump into people sometimes. gaarrgghh!

Oh, man. I spent something like 90 minutes in Louisville one time looking for a watch I was wearing.

I think it was to save me from myself, though, because I was headed out to go mindlessly spend extra cash I'd earned.

Your parents weren't brother and sister, were they?

[abcdefz]

Not that I know of, but then, my dad may or may not have been adopted, depending on whose story you believe, so who knows.

But knowing my mom's parents, I doubt it.

Another pet peeve:

When people just assume you know something you might have no way of knowing. I just wasted about an hour this morning because of this.

I had called asking for information about our county's employment department, and the woman gave me an address on Center Ave.
So I'm looking at my map, and there is no Center Avenue -- there's Center Road and Center Street (I think it was).

So I call the agency's number and there's a recorded message which says it's at Center Road. Okay; that's on the map on the north end
of town.

So I get out there and can't find the place. I stopped at a business, and the guy tells me Center Road is way the hell on the south end
of town. That can't be right -- I looked at a map.

So I come back to the library and do all kinds of searches and I'm not finding it. Then, through some sort of fluke of words, I left out
the word "Center" and then results sprung up.

It's on Senter Road.

Now, how the fuck am I supposed to know some idiots in San Jose decided it was a good idea to have a Center and a Senter
road?

Man, if someone's ,calling you for information, they're obviously in a position where they don't know, right? It would take about
three seconds to say "That's 'Senter' with an 'S.'"

:mad:

[Myu-to]

When you say "Give me a second" and person you said that to goes "one thousand one, times up!"

Thanks, assmeat.

[abcdefz]

When you yell "GIMME AN 'R'!!!" and the crowd roars back, "PG-13!!!"

That bugs me.

One diseased foot. ;)




Me:

Maybe we've said this already, but people who stop in doorways. You've got to be pretty fucking unaware to walk to some store or something,
make it to the doorway and just stop.

[b i o n i c]

^ there's just no excuse for that. i hate it too

pet peeve: when somone holds their fork like a dagger when eating. what. the. fuck.

[MC Moot]

[hpdrifter]

I probably already said it but people who take the elevator to go up or down one floor. I mean come on I have to go up seven floors and I don't want to have to stop three times.

[camo]

Ditzy people or maybe even worst - people who think ditzy people are entertaining and make for good friends.


For fucks sake people liven up. Ditzy folk are either:

a) Complete and utter fucking morons who have no grasp on life or logic.

or

b) Spoilt/Lazy fuckers who act stupid so that they can get people to do things for them instead of doing it themselves.

[hpdrifter]

These damn sales people who keep calling butchering people's names so badly that I can't find them in the directory and half the time they no longer work here or never worked here.

[hpdrifter]

Also people who keep calling back when they don't get someone thinking there's something I can do about that.

Assholes.

Can you tell its Monday?

[peterclamp]

The state of Hiphop/Rap music today...99% shite!

All I hear is fake gangsta, money, bitches, gold, bling blah blah...

I hope 2009 brings...

Classic quality Beastie Boys album.
Return to form for Eminem with Dre production.
More focus from ALL rappers on the quality of their lyrics, delivery and subject matter. I want stories that spellbind and funny rhymes that make me laugh!

For me 2008 brought me 3 tracks I enjoyed, Ludacris-One More Drink (funny), DJ Seduction ft KRS One - The DJ (bangin' old school) and Madcon - Beggin' (memorable, catchy, good prodution).

And that was it :mad:

[hpdrifter]

People who post in threads just to say how lame they are.

;)

[Miho]

People singing bad songs to themselves.
