I consider myself a cynical humanist, which, although is oxymoronical, makes sense. I'm generally accepting of people, but certain things drive me INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#1 would have to be over/incorrect use of the word "literally"

Actual quotes of my friends

"I literally died."

Uh, no you didn't. You'd be dead. Dead people don't talk, silly.

"I literally studied for 10 hours."

No, no you didnt. You're exaggerating, therefore, it's not LITERAL

Ahhhhh!!!!!

I can't think of anymore, but I'm sure all of you know what I mean.

To any of my friends reading this: It's okay, I still love you

I'm obsessed with hand washing and what not, so you can connect the dots.

MY biggest peeve is people who are content to go through life believing everything the media tells them.

The most horrid of all crimes "literally" ;) squeezing the toothpaste tube in the middle and not pushing the bottom back to the top and leaving the lid off with a messy top to it.

Dogmatism. Inflexibility in belief is the cause of so many problems. And it's just fucking obnoxious.

The "literally" thing bugs me too. Since when does "literally" mean "figuratively?"

Also... "irregardless." THE WORD DOESN'T EXIST! It's REGARDLESS, or IRRESPECTIVE!

My biggest pet peeve, though?

Hmm...

it really, really bugs me when people are completely incompetent and uncaring on the job. And I don't mean people who ask questions - that's fine. But, c'mon! Some of those people out there are ZEROS!

lol. I love when people make up words. I laugh and they don't realize it's not with them, but at them.

Well, you'd hate me. :rolleyes: I'm constantly rushing!

I suppose my single biggest pet peeve is when people chew gum with their mouths open.

A close second would have to be cynicism. ;)

Naw I just buy my own ;) You squeeze yours all you like :fluffle:

I'm obsessed with hand washing and what not, so you can connect the dots.

I'm a regular hand washer but I'm not obsessed with it. Which leads to my pet peeve. People who use the bathroom and either don't wash their hands or run a little water over their hands...like that's going to nuke some germs. Do the world a favor, and save some $$ on doctors...wash your hands with soap and warm water long enough to sing "Happy Birthday" twice. When you leave the bathroom use a tissue or paper towel to turn off the water taps and open the door. OK...I'm obsessed. :(

What are soap, water and "happy birthday" going to do to kill germs?

lol. we're all weird in some way like that. except me of course.

roight.

I'm actually more paranoid, bordering on insanity about germs and handwashing.

Alright, my newest pet peeve is all the misspelling going on around this forum. While a word or two is understandable, some of these things are just absurd...

"librul" - what is that?!?

"complement" (something that completes - as in complementary angles) - is NOT "compliment" (a nice thing to say to someone)

"definite" has no "a" in it. Its stem is "finite." Would you spell "finite" as "finate"?

One of my biggest pet peeves occur on dating sites and stuff. I'm checking out some nice girl's profile, and then I see this:
Height: 4'10
etc etc etc

NO MEN UNDER 7'1!!!
*Erupts in thermonuclear rage*
AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

My god! That's a friggin 2 foot difference. I HATE THAT!!! I know it doesn't sound much to you, but to me, that is fucking astronomical! EDIT: And I'm 5'2, so you can tell why I'm pretty pissed.

That particular mispelling was in jest, I think.

Anyway, the only pet peeve I can think of now is lame e-mail circulars. My God, they're awful. Doesn't matter what they're about, it's always REALLY SMARMY. "10 reasons why men/women are better than women/men", "how to know you're a Bush/Kerry supporter", who thinks up this shite? Who the hell finds it funny enough to forward to their friends?

Damn, this forum seems to be missing an 'incredible hulk' smily.
[/enraged rant]

LoSalt.

People who refuse to salt their food when cooking yet eat loads of processed shit full of sugar and salt.

People who laughed at me when I said my new year's resolution was to be more tolerant.

People who get pissy when I tell them their opinion is wrong and mine is right.

People who get pissy with me for "bring crude."

Military History.

People who say something annoying or offensive, then complain that they were 'just telling a joke' when someone has a go at them. IF PEOPLE DON'T FIND YOUR JOKE FUNNY, IT'S PROBABLY A BAD JOKE.


Oh man, you've started me off now, Cbass Risen.

People that don't appreciate dead baby jokes.

My biggest pet-peeve? Conservatives, Republicans, and Pro-Israeli and kkka muthfuckas.

People that don't appreciate dead baby jokes.
That would be one of mine too. Oh dont forget living abortions and afterbirth, those things always crack me up. I would link an avi but its kinda gross

kkka?

kkka?
Tupac Shakur referred to the Bush sr. Administration as the Amerikkka, and how the conservs handled law enforcement/streets. KKK america, the kkka for short

Right, thanks. Wasn't quite sure if it was a typo (but the fact 'a' is on the other side of the keyboard to 'k' confused me)

I am extremely guilty of that. Moreso in real life than on bbs

Indecision. People who are incapable of making a choice, be it right or wrong.

People telling me they need to go to the toilet, not going, and then telling me they need to go again and again...

People who don't make it clear what tubgirl is, so you get curious and do a google search...

Don't google it, man. Just don't.
