What are they? What are things that others do, or just general dislikes that turn you off?

An example that's not high on my list, but biting finger nails.

I have a long list and I am curious to see if the others share similar dislikes.

This is your opportunity to vent.

smoking, it's the one thing i really can't stand, it smells and it makes me cough and it's just disgusting, especially when you're sat with someone and they light up without even asking you if you mind

Making noises while eating is the worst. I can take the normal chewing and all, but I get extremely irritable when someone chews with their mouth open.

People changing their damn NS names and not telling me about it!

Soup slurping.

People who smoke in restaurants...while others are still eating.

Drunken projectile vomiting. I mean...freakin' make it to the bathroom at least!

People who don't get sarcasm. Or my puns. And who make me explain a joke, thus rendering it completely unfunny.

That only a few stores have a petite section (for pants), so everywhere else I buy them, I have to get them hemmed. What, never seen a short person before you selfish bastards!!???

THIS FRIGGIN' JOLT and it's slowness today, the multiple error messages and general frustration!

Chewing with your mouth open.

People who pay at grocery stores with checks.

People who tells stories without providing any context. Argh!

Dance/Rave "music."

Everything all of you just said plus rudeness. Thats rather broad....because its rude to chew with your mouth open, and slurp soup and all that....but I cant stand rude people. Like a little old lady was trying to get through a doorway Saturday and this guy goes around her because she was too slow and just let the door close on her. He could have held the door open :mad:
I ran up and held it open for her because she was so small and frail. To me, that was just rude of him. Have I mentioned rudeness?

Pet Peeves

Global capitalism.

holy rollers pushing their religion on me

people who think they know everything (especially when they show otherwise on a grand scale)

the saying "all-of-a-sudden" (I dont know why)

people who treat their kids like shit

hearing a girl talk about being raped (I got batshit insane and want to hurt whomever it was that badly)

:eek: that's awful! sometimes it seems chivalry really is dead

Socialism

I know.....isnt it pathetic? I think good manners never go out of style.. ..

People who treat their pets like children. Sorry, but it does. I hate the smell of a house with an indoor dog...cats don't seem to be as stinky, but the hair drives me nuts. Shave the bastards. And people who let their animals shit all over the place and don't clean it up.

(Like the people I bought my house from in November...I'm still scooping up dog crap out of the garden...10 big garden bags full of dog shit I'd like to deliver to their new home)

Hey! We aren't all oafish pigs! :)

My peeves include smoking in bars (if I wanted to inhale cigarette smoke, I'd go suck an exhaust. Same effect, different source) and girls asking me 'if I am alright?' on dates/in bars/anywhere.

Agreed.

If animals were suited to indoor life, they would build houses.

lol

WE have a cat (my fiances) and the hair drives me nuts too. I told Maricris that I am going to get our cat laser hair removal. Our house smells good though. Yay incense.

I hate people who don't pay attention to other drivers on the road. I notice most people are oblivious to the fact that they're driving right next to other cars in the passing lane and never seem to get around to passing them. They're just blocking the free flow of traffic like the worthless unproductive scum that they are. Also the people who don't signal for turns and lane changes and the people too busy eating, telephoning, adjusting their radio, etc. to stay in their lane. These people endanger the lives of everyone else on the road because they don't have the mental capacity to pay attention to their surroundings while driving. If it were up to me, cars would come with video cameras and machine guns. If you see someone driving like an idiot you could shoot him, and if the videotape supports your account of the idiot's driving you don't get prosecuted.

*snip*
As someone who has just finally gotten their licence, (at 27, yeah I'm pathetic), I'd like to apologise for anyone that I have inadvertantly cut off, or annoyed by hesitating at the free flow lane...I will get better, I am trying, but I probably will continue to make stupid mistakes until I finally even out. If it wouldn't embarass my husband too much, I'd put a sign on my van saying, "Learning to drive" so you could avoid me:). I will endeavour to NOT be like the drivers DC has described!

I'm sure you will do much better than the knuckleheads who plague me on my commute to and from work. You seem like the type to pay attention to the other drivers around you, unlike them. They're the main reason I don't carry a gun. I'm pretty sure one of them would get shot if I did.

I am pretty much saying to myself everyday while driving: "I'm glad I don't carry a gun."

A major pet peeve of mine, and I admit I am also occassionaly guilty, is rude people on public transit. For those people who sit on the the seat next to the aisle, with an empty seat beside you, and for those people who put their bag on the seat next to them when they could put it on their lap or on the floor, please move over. People especailly the elderly prefer sitting as opposed to standing. If you are in a bad mood at least take comfort in the fact that you are helping someone else.

This isnt an insult to any of you, but....

Stupid people. Stupid people who disagree with me, most of all. Especially loud, misinformed stupid people who disagree with me.

This might seem a little self centered. But it's my number one pet peeve.

Also, poverty, world hunger, hunger in general, hangovers, homophobia, AIDS, violence, Al-Queda, birth defects, unhappiness, rain, racism, anti-semitism, sexism, greed, getting old and senile, unfarity, injustice, wrongness, naughtiness, disagreementalism, annoyingness, uncomfortability, evilidity, disanoyfortaughtity, and finally, bad-ness. I can't stand the badness.

Hope I haven't offended anyone.

Many, many, many!

Here's a few:

1. Writing on sheet music, especially note names. I don't care if it has relevance (like dynamics, chord symbols, et al. penciled in), but please! If you don't want to learn to read music, don't join a band!

2. The people who are lazy and won't return a buggy to a coralle (I work outside at a Grocery store, collecting carts.)

3. Microsoft Windows.

4. People who tap me, snap at me, or anything else to get my attention while I'm talking to someone else, reading, et al. If I can't see you/realize your there it means I'm busy with something else; leave me alone!

5. People who change the subject in the middle of a conversation.

6. People who say "nothing" after muttering something under their breath to/about me. If you don't want to repeat it, don't say it the first time!

7. Arrogant people who think their great but really arn't. The second drummer in my jazz band comes to mind...

8. People who take stuff out of my meticulously organized binders and just throw it back when they're done!

9. People who borrow pens/mechanical pencils/et al. and break the snap to hold it in your pocket off, or bend it in the middle. Holy crap! I use thoes things, you know.

That isn't even the tip of the iceberg! :rolleyes:
