Pet Peeves

[PatrickHenry]

Is there a little something that gets to ya? gets under yer skin? needles ya? really pisses ya off? or makes ya nearly choke on yer anger?

Share it with us, we probably feel the same way!

Not big stuff like those rotten terrorists or the Jerks in Washington. No, I mean stuff that make ya wanna thump somebody's nose...

For me it's commercials in the movie theater. I mean #@#@#**#* & @#*#@# I paid the nine bucks, even bought their wine priced coke and tres cher popcorn, then I hafta sit and watch 15 minutes of commercials!?! I can hardly hold my tongue. I don't want to be thrown out for causing a scene but...

Keep it up, Consolidated Theaters and I'll just wait for it to be released on DVD..

I couldn't believe it the first time I saw that! I like movie trailers but actual commercials?!!?!?!? Not all theaters do this, so find one that doesn't.

I wait for DVD anyway except for every now and then.

My pet peeve: slurping on coffee. if it's too hot to drink, wait a minute for it! There's nothing worse, especially if I'm not fully awake and grupmy.....

The cost of Drinks and food from the Cinema stores are extruciatingly expensive, like £2.50 for a large coke (4 USD?) and £3.20 (5 USD?) for some pop corn. Complete ripoff gits.

Oooo...nice thread!

Some internet-related ones:

I could jump on people who say "I could care less..." ...So they do care then?! Idiots...
I get really annoyed by weird little typos (like I'm the master of English, huh?)... Like "athiest", "your vs you're", "rediculous" etc etc. These often coming from people with English as their mother tongue.

More from me later on, I'm sure.

[Pooeypants]

People who can't spell weird correctly....grrrr

1. - Negative book reviews on sites like Amazon.com that were written by someone that obviously did not read the book or complained about something unrelated to the book.

2. - Trolls. Morons that act like professors while possessing little knowledge on the topic.

2A. - Trolls. Morons that repeat the same mantra even after being proven wrong or likely to be wrong.

2B. - Trolls. Morons that claim to hate 'conspiracy theories' (whatever that means) while living in the conspiracy topics of a forum.

This is another one that grates on my nerves.

3. Kazaa-type people that download music, movies, etc. under a delusional free speech defense or that the makers of the product are stealing from them by charging so much. Just admit that you like free stuff. Don't try to use weasel words to justify it.

4. Freeper-types (Free Republic). Most are brain-damaged clowns that wouldn't recognize the Constitution if you rolled it up and gave them a sound thrashing with it. Don't pee on my leg and tell me it is raining!

You don't mean the Free State Project?...

You're in my little black book...

[Impenitent]

how often do you take your peeve for a walk and what do you feed it?

Free Republic is a website that caters to the 'Bush can do no wrong' crowd. Any departure from the party line leads to being banned from the forum.

[Mia]

Maybe all internet sites will turn into this - dissidents will be relegated to some back room that no one but each other can hear what they say....

Paavo, man I can't spell! I used to be able to better when I was forced to check myself, but then spell-checker came along and ruined me.

So many people don't worry about it so much on forums that I got lazy.

Can u get us a spell-checker?

[PhanthomOps]

Well, there are many, like you that I could mention, but here are just a couple:

1) People who do not demonstrate common courtesy, especially to senior citizens (I'm not there yet), and those with impairments
2) People who constantly degrade our Vietnam Veterans
3) People who refuse to show respect to our Militay Veterans
4) People who have the "hooray for me & F--K you" mentality

Well, that's it for now. Perhaps I mention a few more later.

1. Belligerent clowns that refuse to follow orders, slip through the cracks, get promoted, and expect others to be obedient.

Dave Barry reminded me of one Sunday. People who weasel their way into a line:
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/livin.../8673124.htm?1c

Don't mean to be rude? Read rules DAVE BARRY OK, here are the rules: 1. If there's a line, you get at the end of the line, and you wait your turn. 2. You own ONE place in the line. You do NOT have the right to invite friends to join you in the line. This is rude to the people behind you, who got there before your friends, and will now have to wait longer. If you want to be with your friends, you can join them at the back of the line. And, no, it's not enough to ask the person immediately behind you if it's OK for your friends to butt in. This person does not speak for the entire line. Also this person pretty much has to say yes, but only because he or she, being less rude than you, wants to avoid confrontation.

Read it all. Funny...

5) People who think life owes them a living
6) Kids who have no respect and tell you to f--k off for no reason
7) Little old ladies on the subway who don't give you the chance to step aside and attack you with their shopping bags
8) Landlords who want to take your rent money, and then because they have to repair something that should have been fixed thirty years ago raise your rent
9) People who cut down trees, because they're too lazy to rake up the leaves
10) People who play their boom-boom music so loud you can hear it a mile away, and get all pi--ed of when you ask them to lower it a bit

[Plaything48]

Does anyone else get pissed off by being tapped by someone else. And loud chewing....Argh!!

[Sodfather]

Oh, man, this is awesome. First of all, Paav, English is a second langauge for you? Jesus, what else can you speak? You must sound like Shakespeare in your native tongue judging by your English. :P

1. Rednecks and all ignorant Americans alike. Not only has our government wrongly gone to war, but all these redneck idiots support it and make America as a whole look like one massive warmongering redneck. I'm starting to doubt this universal right-to-vote system with idiots like these running rampant.

2. Internet outages. They always seem to come when you need the net most--like for doing things other than debating on-line. ;)

3. Same as Paav--retards who don't know how to use pronouns. Their vs. there vs. they're is always a deathtrap for fellow Ameri-tards, as well as your vs. you're and to vs. two vs. too. Jesus, what is happening to our grammar schools? Did these people skip the third grade?

4. Old trends. There's nothing worse than someone not only accepting a trend, but a hackneyed-to-hell one. This can be applied to things such as the salutation "wazzup." :P

5. Double-standards in racial affairs. Blacks herald equality, yet are for affirmative action. Whites are racists after making a joke concerning a racial stereotype, yet when a black person does it it's just plain damn funny. Whites are affable with blacks in social situations, yet they think racial jokes are hilarious in private--and vice versa for the black community. I guess these problems will only end when humans merge into one single Gooback race like in South Park. :)

11) People who double park on both sides of the street at the same time just to bulls—t
12) Parents who let their little children run all over the street without supervision
13) Parents who let their children do whatever because they are too busy doing their thing to be parents
14) Parents who actively teach their children racism and bigotry, and name of the game is me, me, me
15) Absentee landlords who when you try to reach them never return your call, but sure as hell show up on the 1st of every month
