Pet hates.

Do you guys/girls have any particular pet peeves/hates?
For me it's late people and racists.

i cant stand "Lol rofl lmao" type things.

Rude people.

I hate when people don't turn off their car alarms quickly.

i hate drugged out girls in my first period that never shuts up and constantly talks about her boyfriend that's in jail for, as she said, "only stabbed 3 people"

People who type in "leet" or IM talk

People with no common sence or try to act like they know what they are talking about, trying to out smart you when they don't know what they are saying or can back it up

Not much really . . .

I REALLY hate lateness/nonpromptness. I'll give you a good example. Today I borrowed my friend's car. I walk up to his apt to give him his key back and the dork doesn't answer the door. I'm like pounding like a crazy person, just wanting to get home to cook (I'm starving) and he doesn't answer the door. After five mintues I gave up. It's not like he wasn't home, I had his car...

I also hate when all my one friend talks about is engines, or car tires... I'm a f*cking girl, what the hell do I know about car tires and engines!?!? Then when you try to change the conversation he interupts you and contintues.... grrrr!

I also hate when people smoke all my weed.

There are more just don't want to make this too long....

Maybe I should just be alone on a desert island (with food and electricty) so I can live a peaceful life of no aggrivations....

I hate this too, especially people who use them like they're regular words.

EX. ya lol i can totally relate with u. lmao i did that one timw wit my friend and it was great lol.

ARGFHRHESDGFFDF DGFDSGFD A AARAGH

other than that... I can't think of anymore at the moment because this one is SOO infuriating!

EDIT: oh yeah, people who ask QUESTION after QUESTION. Who the hell are you, Curious George?

Yes. "Text" or "I.M" speak is the curse of our time.
And people who litter!

We're all rather angry, aren't we.

That's the worst. And I get it a lot, because I'm kind of a quiet guy and sometimes people just start asking me random simple questions because they can't handle silence.
I love silence. We don't have to be yammering all the time, waiting for our turn to spit out some nonsense. I mean, there's definately time for that too... but I'm not mad or sad or gumpy because I'm not talking. I'm just not talking.

That happens to me also. As Depeche Mode said "enjoy the silence"
It annoys me when people ask "is you really shy or summit!???!!" just because I don't feel the need to talk none stop!
As Tony Soprano once pondered - "Whatever happened to the strong silent type?"

My biggest hate would be people's complete lack of ANYTHING even remotely close to being a sentence. I mean come on, how hard is it to add a PERIOD, or a COMMA.... I don't know why this is, but it seems like everyone nowadays cannot write, or speak. We have had basic grammatical knowlege since... I don't know, grade 3?!?! But it seems the internet has completly ruined our ability to speak and write.

It wouldn't be near as bad, but I was looking through my little sister's notes (she's 15) and what do I see? "R" "U" and other internet short forms... even better, she asked me to proof read an assignment, and what do I see? THE SAME THING IN A GOOD COPY. She says "Ooops, I do that when I get on a computer." Moreover, her grammer... it was atrocious. Run on sentences, comma errors... and even capitalization.

Honestly, there is no excuse for as bad a grammer as I see today. A few errors are expected, like if you check this, there probably are some grammar errors (don't be too hard on me ) but jeese!

EDIT: And the guys that sit in the back row in my classes that yap all through class. Some of us are actually here to learn, not to waste money!

Guitar players:

I've NEVER been in a band that had more than one guitar player in it where the two didn't always fight about "who's louder than the other." It's so annoying to hear them constantly arguing about that... or who's going to do the lead part. My adVice to anyone getting into/starting a band is this: Have ONE guitar player, or have one guitar player who's awesome and another one is subpar for ONLY rhythm parts. Perhaps that would avoid constant bickering.

When people eat in bed:

There's a dinner table for a reason, and you shouldn't be eating before you sleep. It would seem to me that Breakfast-In-Bed would be the single exception (since you're not going to sleep directly after).

When people yell at each other:

When I say this, I mean during regular conversation. If you're RIGHT NEXT to the person you're talking to, there's NO reason to be talking as loud as you can.

I know there are some other ones that I have, but I can't quite think of any of them right now. Those are the biggest ones though. Oh! And people who don't move out of the way when you're driving down roads (they're walking). I think everyone has lost courtesy now-a-days, and it feels like no one gives a damn if someone else is in a hurry... as long as they don't have to go out of their way to walk to the left or right two or three steps to get out of they I suppose

Unless it's a crosswalk, those are called speedbumps.

but if it is a crosswalk, don't be a turd like the guy that tried to run Roll and I over...

Ha! No, I'm talking about the idiots who walk down the middle of the road, and can HEAR the car getting closer to them... then they stay in the middle of the road, ssssllllllooowwwwwlllllyyy shifting to the side, as if their energy is being spent because YOU have to drive down the road. There are sidewalks, and the side of the road for that kind of thing. Very annoying, and makes me wish that people that did that were fair game to get run over in the laws eyes. Crosswalks are totally different... THAT'S when pedestrians have the right of way

Because I said so: The most annoying phrase in the English language. Coming in second are the people who get insanely pissed off over the smallest things. Also, there's something to be said about people who follow trends regardless of if it makes sense or not. Over here, people try to talk like gangstas and get in yo face about dis shit .

I hate people who throw their still burning cigarette stubs around everywhere.

I hate those people who say there Gamer's, but they only played like one game.

Another thing i dislike is repeating myself.

I can't stand it when people put their newly emptied cola cans in the recycling bag before rinsing them off first.

I also don't like bright lights directly above my head, partially opened doors, and virtually any music that gets played on broadcast radio.

I hate the word "ness". And I especially hate the word, "sness". And I really, hate the word "erl". Don't know why. It just bugs me.

If it makes you feel better the filters bio-degrade... you know, eventually. On the same time scale as plastic.

I'm one of those people. But there are too few public butt-bins. It's kind of like if there are no garbage cans around, what do 90% of the people do? Pitch the garbage on the ground. I only know 2 or 3 people who I've seen carry around a tin to put their butts into for later disposal.

I don't know...

I absolutely HATE it when people just throw their butts everywhere.. it's disgusting.. if you go to my local No Frills, you can barely see the grass for all the butts.. it's disgusting.

Your forgetting something.
HES OSG.

Dropping Cig ends is littering and that pisses me off.
I was at the supermarket yesterday, and I saw a an empty Coke can on the floor. Come on. Is it really too much of a fuss to leave it in your car, and throw it in the bin when you get home? GAH!
Anyway, when I walked past her car I picked up the can and put/threw it back into her car through the open window. The look on her face was priceless! That was my good deed for the day.

Yeah, it was good. It was the first time I had ever done it, but I was soo mad. I think food shopping puts me in a bad mood.

That's a little extreme. And I don't particularly like piles of butts everywhere. But I'm just saying the options aren't really there for anything else. Maybe anyone who doesn't understand should start smoking!

Your forgetting something.
HES OSG.

Yes, i spend 8 hours a day outside and in the bush in winter and spring, and i always pick up any litter i see. if i see any on the street, like what ever the hell. they have already ruined the area by puttin g big chunks of pavement everywhere. just sometimes when im icefishing, say i drop a empty bag that held bait, and sometimes the 40 km/h wind blows it away. well, theres not much i can do, but go chasing after it on my sled. but gas is much too high to be farting around like that if your gonna litter somewhere, do it on the streets. not in the forest.

It seems I have developed a new pet peeves.

"To do lists" at my work.

It's not only because they expect you to have rockets strapped to your feet (the pure insanity that they think you can do the work of 3 people) but because of upper management's lack of being able to spell.

Being that they are executives, don't you think they should at least be able to spell??? Today my list said

Finnish Fright.

I'm not kidding you.

Then I think the boss has something else on his mind because 1/2 the time he writes "Panty" instead of "Pantry".

And also the fridge at work is always littered with 1/2 filled pop CANS. Who in their right mind is like, hmmm, I'll just put this in the fridge and drink it later. They will sit there sometimes for 4 days before someone throws them out. Yuk.

yeah, and NEVER litter in the water.

i've got a few to add to the list:

my mom
my grandma (the one that lives with me sucks, but my other grandma is awesome)
people from Ohio
people from Ohio that move to Florida
people from Ohio visting Florida.... they can't drive worth a damn!
check out people in stores that are overly nice

I dislike sales people as much as the checkout people. When I see them coming at me I dodge down a differnt aisle. I think the checkout people are being overly nice because they always try to sell you the companies stupid credit card. I dislike it when even at my work, they still hassel me "Would you like a Sears card". No, I didnt' the first 50 times you've asked me, and the next billion times it's going to be the same answer.

Like I said before, I think I just need to live on an island all by myself and just ship men in for booty calls.

I got it. email.

I love the fact that, should a man actually do all of these things, that he would have to, quite literally, have Try to secretly smell her hair? Stare at her? Call for no reason?!

I don't know who's creepier, this "perfect" guy, or the girl who requires this obsessive worship.

i had a girlfriend like that once. let's just say that didn't last very long

I hate that when people are like that, "Don't go to work, I'll miss you". GMAFB (Give me a f*cking break).
Then I also hate it when guys are so creepy they keep an information log on you. I had this friend once and I so ditched him when I found a notebook in his livingroom where he was writing down our converstations! He went as far as to wrtiing down my doctor's names and went as far as to looking up their phone numbers. Can we say "psycho"???
I'm relatively low maintanence; I prefer to be alone most of the time.

Ebay Snipers
I just about had Megaman 4, Duck Tales, and Bucky O' Hare for $12 then with 1 second left..... BANG there he was

Old People who insist on paying with EXACT change!

Rap Music.

People who make others upset, so they can feel better about themselves.I have also been sniped many times on eBay i once had a bid on a Die Hard Cart with manual i was the only bidder for 5 days and at the last minute i got outbid.

I know that I probably complain way too much but I've officially developed a new annoyance/pet peeve.

(And this is going to sound really harsh).

My husband.

I'm not saying I'm perfect (I have more issues than Time magazine) but I think I've been pushed way too far. (I just found something on the computer that I am VERY livid about and it's NOT porn).

Sure, I could talk to him about it but he'd just lie straight to my face (like usual).

Why do men have to be so annoying??? I think I should switch teams.

I never bid on a auction until there is 15 seconds left. Funny thing, I haven't lost too many..

Guitar players:

I've NEVER been in a band that had more than one guitar player in it where the two didn't always fight about "who's louder than the other." It's so annoying to hear them constantly arguing about that... or who's going to do the lead part. My adVice to anyone getting into/starting a band is this: Have ONE guitar player, or have one guitar player who's awesome and another one is subpar for ONLY rhythm parts. Perhaps that would avoid constant bickering.

I'm a guitarist and although I've never played in a band, I've played with some friends a few times. I found out really quickly that you can't let guitarists control their own volumes. Most of the time we're used to playing alone and don't have to worry about other noise. The only solution to this is to have another member take a few steps back and decide on the appropriate volume levels. After that's done, have the guitarists position themselves relative to their amps so they can hear the best.

Unless you have monitors or experienced live players, this is going to happen.

Yeah, I know what you mean by having someone step back and judge the levels to get them set, and I've done that... everytime though, they decide they can't hear themselves and turn up more as the nights progress. It's really annoying when they do that though, because they're fed into the PA with mics. When they turn up, they're turning up on the PA too... and they know this!

That rant I made was when we had two guitar players butting heads, but one quit and I got my old guitar player to jam with us now. He's much better about that kind of thing, so now it's not so bad. I suppose making sure you have level-headed people in the band will help out tons too

I'm not saying I'm perfect (I have more issues than Time magazine) but I think I've been pushed way too far. (I just found something on the computer that I am VERY livid about and it's NOT porn).

Sure, I could talk to him about it but he'd just lie straight to my face (like usual).

There are other ways of letting people know that you know about something that they don't want you to know about.

Leave some divorce papers on the table... accidentally?

Ha! That'll work!

"Uh... Honey?..."

Well, it would help to know what he did, exactly... but I'll give you a hypothetical scenario. Let's say that he was having an affair and emailed his mistress, and you found the email on the computer.

What you could do in that situation was wait until he was off of the computer, then open up a word document and paste the email in it. Leave the word document open, with a very large and very venomous message typed above it, then put the computer on standby. Eventually, when he would get on the computer, he would see it.

Or, you could print the email and scatter copies all over the house.
You'd have to be sure that the email was extremely damning, though.

Of course, both situations would have very ugly results, so it depends on what you're going for here.

I really don't want to get into exactly what he did, but things have been accumulating for a while now. It just ended up being the straw that broke the camel's back.

I just don't want it to the point where I don't want to be his friend. I don't like to hate people (it's bad for your health).

In that case, I'd go with NES-Luke's suggestion.

In all seriousness though, the best you can do is muddle through this. It's a problem that's been going on in marriages forever... if you can find a solution on how to solve it without hurting people's feelings, you'll make millions off of the book deal.

However, I would like to make a reminder that I am in no way experienced in these matters, and that you might as well be taking adVice from a goldfish.

My Brother and his wife have been seperated for a few months and today she went Psycho she called my brothers house 17 times this morning and said she would kill him if she saw him with any other girls my brother recorded all the messages and called the cops.

That is just plain nuts!
She sounds like my ex. Maybe they should Hook up.

That is just plain nuts!
She sounds like my ex. Maybe they should Hook up.

god! why do guys/girls go for that crap? seems like it's the cool thing for all high school girls to do. date a 23 year old guy that just got out of jail. and why the hell woudl a 23 year old fresh out of jail want to date a 15 year old? oh yeah.... fresh out of jail... hmm....

Lots of things listed here that I hate so I'm just gonna comment on a few.

1. I smoke. Usually I put the butts in an ash tray, but when I'm in Atlanta going from bar to bar, there are no ash trays. Atlanta is dirty as Sh*t anyway so on the ground they go. In a park or something I usually have an empty water bottle or something that we use as an ashtray.

2. I am married and sometimes I find stuff of my wife's that upsets me. For example I once found she had spent a lot (by a lot, I mean A LOT) of money shopping one day (found the receipts). I just sat down with her and told her to quit f*cking up, and spend less. We have an entertainment expense planned into our budget for a reason!!!!!!

Sometimes she still spends too much!!!! <---Arggh!!! Found my pet peeve.

3. People crossing the street / walking in the street / dancing in the street always move at the speed of slow. I hate that as well.

You know what else I hate. When you slow to let someone cross the street in front of you and they don't wave. Not sure why, but that infuriates me.

bah! i know what you mean. it's so rude.

hahaha, i have't looked in this topic for a long time and now i decided to look in it. i thought this was going to be about what pets you ahte or something haha.

well, anyways, i also hate when people walk really slow in front of you and is blocking somewhere you need to go fast. like a group of people walking slowly together in front of you. i hate that a lot.

Christ, I hate that too. It's especially balls when the group of people are standing on a sidewalk or a Wal-Mart aisle talking. There are better places to talk about the weather, a**holes!!!!!!

LordJair, stick around. we need more posters like you

Thought of another one
Those fatass chicks that wear g-strings and tube tops in public and wonder why they leave a trail of people passed out on the ground from choking on their own vomit.

You know who it always is (at least in my school)? It'll be a pair of small, short, freshman girls.

That's right. There is no physically possible way that they, by themselves, can block an entire aisle, or pathway. But they do.

They do.

Same problem here! The smallest girls also have the biggest attitudes! Its like WTF!?!

You know who it always is (at least in my school)? It'll be a pair of small, short, freshman girls.

That's right. There is no physically possible way that they, by themselves, can block an entire aisle, or pathway. But they do.

They do.

funny, at my school, it's the black people at block the hallways. also, they're the first ones to open their mouths and bitch about people blocking the hallways "moooove white cracka". i can't stand people like that

What is the pop company Coke or Pepsi?

Here's what I would do... Call the company and ask for the Salesman that covers your business. Tell him that you are the manager and if that machine runs out of ANYTHING again you want them out of your business and you are switching vending companies.

The meaner you sound, the better the result. This works pretty good, I see it almost every day at my job. If you threaten them with switching, it gets them shaking in thier boots!

You might want to do this off hours as not to get in trouble with your boss .

Ask your boss if they would consider switching to a food and beverage dispenser. Most likely they would install a pop machine a snack machine FREE! Depending on your location and business they might even throw in a coffee machine.

Stress the free part, its a good selling point .

As an added bonus, most food and beverage vendors take pride in keeping thier machines stocked to the fullest!

It snowed today and I get annoyed when people don't uncover thier back lights on their car. Am I supposed to be a mind reader when they are either going to turn or stop?

Does this bother anyone else?

Ha ha, I'm in California... We don't have snow, we just have idiots.

same here, except i'm in Florida

me too, it's getting outsniped that hurts. lost a complete tengen Tetris for $26 this way

In retrospect, my max should've been higher, but I think I couldn't go any higher. Money rocks, and money sucks

I work for a ISP for internet tech support.

and I HATE it when people call in cuz their internet doesnt work and they let it all out on you.
Then you try to help them and they just cuss and bitch and want a refund or a tech to go fix it...and they eventually hang up on you!

So people, please! If you're pissed off because of your internet serVice, remember...IT'S NOT MY FAULT!

Thank you

I don't work for an ISP for internet tech support.

and I HATE it when my connection continually drops, I get poor transfers, I'm sold a serVice that isn't available in my area (even though the website tells me it is, and the whole transaction goes through without a hitch, until I try to USE this serVice...). I hate when I call my ISP because something has randomly started happening, and nothing in my network setting or connection configuration has changed, and they try to "let it all on me".

So ISP tech support people, PLEASE, if someone calls you knowing what the hell they're talking about, remember, you're not helpful, and it is a problem on your end, save yourself some time and transfer them directly to someone who can actually do something.

what's your ISP?

Your location is Quebec, it's entirely possible that you work for my ISP... might I ask where it is that you do work?

Telebec/Northern Tel

We serve timmins and all that area

You better not be responsible for all the fuck-ups I get around here, I live in Timmins

no believe me, I don't create the f*ck ups ...I just troubleshoot them
