My top five pet peeves are:

1) people who interrupt me when I'm talking
2) people who walk slowly as if they have the entire sidewalk to themselves
3) people who are rude and use obscenities for no reason
4) loud and obnoxious people
5) people who pressured others to do what they want

Well, there's more to the list....

2) people who walk slowly as if they have the entire sidewalk to themselves


Yeah, that annoys me. It's especially annoying when they stand in the middle of it and you can't get past them. And then you miss your bus. And then the person that held you up whinges to you about missing the bus when they see you waiting at the same stop.

It's also annoying when someone parks their car in the bus lane, the bus can't pull in, and then it misses the stop, holding me up for about an hour. All because someone just had to park there for easy access to doughnuts at the bakery, and walking an extra 10m was too much.

*both actually happened to me* :mad:

I'll take them all except number two and add:

1)Doors left half ajar. Doors should be closed. End of story. If you're hot/cold/claustrophobic open a window.
2)Artificial light meeting natural light. Bugs the hell out me for some reason.
3)All the obvious ones like chavs, fast food ect

Shut the FUCK UP! You TALK TALK TALK Like a tired arse that can't stop itself dripping. Be thankfullif you never pass me on the street. I'll beat you so thoroughly, your tiny little whitebuy dick will look seem bigger than you. Then I'll toss your puny arse infront of a car for taking up me sidewalk.

I'm not quite sure what the last one means, but if you can't stand confused gits either, then hey: I'm game.


By the way, WAS I LOUD ENUFF, YOU STUPID SOD?

More difficult to do with mine, methinks.

1) Middle-Aged Women driving SUV's/Van's.
2) Guy's who wear Girl pants.
3) People who ask me what my Pet Peeves are.

1)People who feel they have the right to use their cellphones at any given time, like in the movie theater or worse yet while they're driving.
2)People who impose their personal beliefs upon everyone else and condemn anyone who doesn't agree with them.
3)People who say "stupider".
4)People with absolutely no sense of humor.
5)Never getting sex as often as I would like.

There's so much more but I'll stay within your parameters.

Interesting reactions plus a really unexpectedly rude response. One of my friends told me never to post on forums here unless I want to deal with insane people. Ah, well....

Guy's who wear Girl pants..
Say what? You mean transexuals who wear girl's pants, or GUYS wear them now? Oh Buddha, please tell me hip-hugger jeans aren't a recent trend somehwere. Please, keep that shit in whatever state it currently infests.
Quarantine if you have to.

a little unnescessary
Perhaps, however, I'm not altogether sober, thus to my beer-soaked brain, it seemed neither more silly, nor less warrented than the OP.

It do occur to me though, that your post mey be slighty superflous. Could that possibly be the case, or am I simply dreaming of frigid beer again?
- You know, they always turn me on. Even when cold they're wet & just waiting for you.
Yea, it's my way of saying "fuck off you uptight arse".

I agree with all of what you said especially number 4. Some people really should learn to laugh and not take things personally.1)People who feel they have the right to use their cellphones at any given time, like in the movie theater or worse yet while they're driving.
2)People who impose their personal beliefs upon everyone else and condemn anyone who doesn't agree with them.

Hahaha...my goodness, that picture looks both horrible and funny at the same time.

http://www.ambrosiasw.com/~andrew/funny/noob.jpg

I stike my final pet peeve as a result of this picture. New final petpeeve: Inbreeding.

1) Middle-Aged Women driving SUV's/Van's.
2) Guy's who wear Girl pants.
3) People who ask me what my Pet Peeves are.

...people who use apostrophes to pluralize words... Canadians.. :p

I'm a regular fount of negativity tonight, I apologize.. It's probably because I have to go vote tomorrow. The lines.. I can feel the boredom coming on already.

There is a certain group of people in the town where I live who wear Girl's Pants. They are not Girls nor are they Gay. To tell you the truth it freaks me out.

Yeah, that annoys me. It's especially annoying when they stand in the middle of it and you can't get past them. And then you miss your bus. And then the person that held you up whinges to you about missing the bus when they see you waiting at the same stop.

*both actually happened to me* :mad:
Yeah both of those suck. Although our bus drivers would block traffic to stop for you. The person who stops in the bus stop tends to end up regretting it.

2) Guy's who wear Girl pants.
All except for one of the guys who wear girl pants at my school get teased for it everyday.

My pet peeves:

1) People who block the halls at school
2) Goth/Wanabe-Punk kids that say "don't label me" then call then label
others

We beg of you, for all that is good and holy...

Revoke these asshole's passports now! Do NOT let them leave the country under any circumstances.

1) Bigots.

Oh........ I guess that's about it.

The "discuss" statement at the end of a post, especially if that post consists only of a question or statement.

Yeah both of those suck. Although our bus drivers would block traffic to stop for you. The person who stops in the bus stop tends to end up regretting it.

Eh. It was on a major road, so he couldn't stop, really...

1. Bad drivers who almost kill me without even noticing.
2. Old drivers who make me late without even noticing.
3. Any combination of points #1 and #2

1) 2) Guy's who wear Girl pants.


I just need to ask, I you american or british? Do you mean trousers (american) or underwear (british).

1. pet hate, especially on this forum, is people who don't know the difference between a debate and a shouting match.

2. second pet hate is equipment that does not perform the task it was designed for to the highest standard.

3.Lazy programmers, software today is designed so badly it just gets on my nerves. When the hardware was the limiting factor then the software design had to be really good to work at high performance. Now with basically no hardware limits the software is written so badly that the increase in performance for massively improving the specs of your computer is very disappointing to me.

Off the top of my head? People that say "meh".

I fucking hate that.

http://www.ambrosiasw.com/~andrew/funny/noob.jpg

He doesnt look at all well.

1) The Flying Spaghetti Monster and every mentioning of it. The IPU(BBHHH) was 10 times better and was actually original
2) "Parodies" that are at such a disconnect from reality that they are no longer funny. Satire has to be based on some fact, yes it will enter the realm of absurd and stupid, but it has to start in reality
3) Romantics, by which I mean the twats who glorify pastoral settings and speak of the glories of nature and farming. I especially hate the original Romantics, and would like little better than to retroactively kill Lord Byron.
4) People who intersperse their conversation with foriegn words for no reason. Especially if they cannot properly pronounce or use the words, but even when properly done it is rather pointless outside of simple word wanking.

1) people who have never actually read the Bible who try to take verses out of context to prove thier point and then get mad when you put it back in context and it proves your point
2) people who confuse the declaration of independence with the constitution, or quote a "constitutional right" that doesn't exist
3) people who don't use turn signals
4) people who resort to name calling when they can't prove thier point.
5) people who treat children like less than human
6) call waiting
7) caller id
8) forwarded chain emails
9) people who string together paper clips
10) poorly planned activities

and those are just the things that have annoyed me so far today, I can go on and on but you are bored already. ;)

Good points and I whole heartedly agree with #1 thru #8 inclusive. All very aggravating.
The other two I can live with. For now.

My top five pet peeves are:

1) people who interrupt me when I'm talking
2) people who walk slowly as if they have the entire sidewalk to themselves
3) people who are rude and use obscenities for no reason
4) loud and obnoxious people
5) people who pressured others to do what they want

Well, there's more to the list....

Cell phones are my pet peeve. Can't anyone drive a car, have dinner at a restaurant, or walk down the street anymore without talking to ... who the hell ARE they talking to, anyway? Whoever it is, they're even more pathetic than the person on the cell phone just for listening to the latter's drivel. How do I know it's drivel? Because, whether I like it or not (and I don't!), I CAN HEAR EVERY DAMNED IDIOTIC THING YOU SAY!!!!

1) Bigots.

Oh........ I guess that's about it.

I hate people who are bigoted against bigots! :p

7) caller id
I love caller id, it makes me feel like I have some sort of omniscience. It also makes people I don't want to talk to feel like I have some sort of not talking to them power.
9) people who string together paper clips
Oh, wha-
*Guiltily shoves 20 yard chain back in drawer*
It gets very boring here at work, and NS and stupid customers can only entertain but so much.

I love caller id, it makes me feel like I have some sort of omniscience. It also makes people I don't want to talk to feel like I have some sort of not talking to them power.
I suppose I don't really have a problem with caller ID in itself, it is the caller ID subscribers that I have a problem with.

RING
*caller Id reads Karen's #*
"HI Karen!!!!!!!!!"
"It's not Karen, it's smunkee"
"but you called from Karen's cell phone!!!!!!"
"yeah, I need to ask you something"
"is Karen around?"
"no, I stole her cellphone"
"let me talk to her...."
"okay, but first I need to ask you something"
"no, let me talk to Karen, I am in the drive thru and I don't have much time"


and then there is the person who called me 16 times last night and hung up on my machine and then called today and was mad because
"I have been trying to call but you didn't call me back"
"I didn't know you tried to call, why didn't you leave a message"
"I don't like answering machines, you should get caller Id"
" are you going to pay for it?"
"no, it doesn't cost much, you could afford it"
" I don't need it, I have an answering machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

3)People who say "stupider".

Stupider (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=stupider) is a perfectly cromulent word. ;)

1) When I am listening to the radio and on the computer, I need to sit in a particular place (and to a lesser extemt position) other wise I get loads of static.
2) Static on the radio.
3) The Archers
4) The annoyingly low word limit on the essay I have to hand in tommorow.
5) People who call me an old man because I don't drink lager.

My top five pet peeves are:

1) people who interrupt me when I'm talking
2) people who walk slowly as if they have the entire sidewalk to themselves
3) people who are rude and use obscenities for no reason
4) loud and obnoxious people
5) people who pressured others to do what they want

Well, there's more to the list....I agree that all of these things are deeply annoying. My own top five, however, would be the following:

1. Children
2. Poor grammar, especially double negatives
3. Use of redundant apostrophes (eg. CD's should be CDs)
4. Public displays of affection that go beyond simple things like holding hands
5. Spides / Chavs / Neds/ Whatever you want to call them

your childhood must have really sucked then.

<Hilarity Insues>
Yes, that sort of crap I can understand being annoying (which is why I don't do it). I mainly use it to recover the phone disadvantage (the person who calls has a good idea of whom they're talking too, while whoever just got called has no idea) and to set up a sort of real world ignore list.

yeah, I get in trouble with the real world ignore list too, my father in law (who still assumes that I have caller id even though he knows I don't) didn't speak to me at Christmas one year because he thought that I wasn't answering his calls because I saw it was him on the caller ID, it took me 3 hours to convince him that when I am spending time with my kids I turn the ringer off completely and check my messages later, if you don't leave a message I don't know that you called and won't call you back.:headbang:

Your Father-in-Law was probably just trying to be a jerk, either that or he is really childish.
Whatever.

The person that leaves no paper on the roll :rolleyes:

Oh! Oh!

And the sock-monster. I mean. Seriously. WTF! :confused:

your childhood must have really sucked then.Um, no, not really. It was pretty happy actually, as my family should attest to. I actively chose to associate primarily with adults, and kept out of the way of all but the most articulate and well behaved of my peers at school.

Whatever.
both.

yeah me too. I was making a joke about how if you were a child and you hated children then your entire childhood you would have hated yourself

well, and now that I have kids I get annoyed with people who don't like them, that is, until I have to actually be around other people's kids. (then I don't like kids much either):p

yeah me too. I was making a joke about how if you were a child and you hated children then your entire childhood you would have hated yourselfWell, yeah, there is a certain logic to that :) I was a pleasant, very well behaved kid though, precocious at the time (though sadly that didn't continue). So I just thought I was better than everyone else :) (Which now makes me cringe - typical little brat!) My dislike for children stems largely from the fact that so many of them seem to be so badly behaved and disrespectful these days. It can be a real pleasure to meet a kid who does not posess these characteristics, but I still don't want any of my own.

well, and now that I have kids I get annoyed with people who don't like them, that is, until I have to actually be around other people's kids. (then I don't like kids much either):pLOL, yeah, I know a few people who could empathise!

But I fear a thread hijack, so I shall humbly leave this for another thread :p

1. Drawers and cupboards that are left open. Even more annoying when they're only a smidge open.
2. People that use 'could of' or 'should of' instead of 'could/should have' and the like. Seriously, unless you've actually started to say/type things like 'I of got a lovely bunch of coconuts' it's should've and could've. At least be consistant in your bad grammar!
3. Groups of people that cluster around doorways, or the narrowest part of hallways.
4. People that stop suddenly in the middle of a busy hallway.

Eh... that's all I can really think of for now.

1. Drawers and cupboards that are left open. Even more annoying when they're only a smidge open.
that annoys my 4 year old too, and people who leave lights on when they leave a room and towels hanging crooked, and the shower curtain being 1/2 open, she said either open it or close it you can't do both.

I was begining to worry about her but, her doctor said she is just eccentric and that is normal. (as normal as it can be anyway)

the fact that 50% of the things that piss people off around here piss me off aswell - not cool

you know, I always wonder about that, most people can agree with others pet peeves and yet there are still people doing this stuff

who is doing this stuff? I mean if it bothers you, you could probably assume it annoys other people right?

well... i do know a guy who makes it the point of his existance to be the most annoying person around, but that's just one guy.
admittedly, this is the guy who answered all the questions in a test (second year university, i might add) by flipping a coin. he also made a point of kiilling his entire team in a team network game versus the computer

yeah I know someone like that too. :( maybe we could all get them together for an idiot convention and reprogram them. :p

lock them in a room together and see how long they take to crack - remember that they're all trying to be the most annoying one in the room :D

both.
Heh! You realize, do you not, that this does not bode well for the future of your relationship with your husband?

Heh! You realize, do you not, that this does not bode well for the future of your relationship with your husband?
yeah, but my husband annoys me and then we have make-up sex, that is not an option (nor should it ever be) with my father in law

besides, I have since figured out how to deal with him better, mostly be realizing that he is old and sick and cranky and not to take it personally.

Cars. Always creating traffic and making it hard to cross the road. I wouldn't mind if people only used them when they actually had a long (and worthwhile) journey to make. And apart from the really expensive ones they look crap too.

Along those lines. The people that live less than a block away from campus yet still drive and take up the parking spots. I walk, but I'm still agrivated. I have on multipal ocasions watched people drive from one parking lot, to the other across the street. I have watched people park further away from there class than their actual home. ARG!

More peeves

1) Bad cell phone manners
2) The sound of papar tearing (gives me the chills for some reason)
3) As of last night, the smell of KFC

I forgot to say the obvious thing about cars - the pollution.

Other things:

text-messaging: like typing, only on stupidly small buttons you have to press several times just to get one letter. and you do it through a phone, which you could just call someone with instead (assuming one is able to do the necessary filtering and collection of information to communicate in a call, rather than constantly sending and receiving pointless drivel 24/7)

Rap music: this hardly classes as music - a simple beat with someone talking over it.

Gossip mags and tabloids: I don't care what some random moron who shouldn't be famous does in their spare time.

Slow walkers. I don't get it. I have to make a conscious effort to walk that slow. It's unpleasant. Also annoying are people who suddenly stop, or are standing still in the middle of lots of people walking.

Crumbs: put the food in your mouth, not on the sofa.

Probably more, but I can't think right now.

Rap music: this hardly classes as music - a simple beat with someone talking over it.

Not true. It often has an exrtremely complicated beat, or combinations of beats. That said, 99.9999% of it is drivel.

1. The fact that I have slight OCD
2. People who make fun of me because of my OCD
3. Fat people who call normal sized people fat
4. Having multiple light switches not all up or down
5. Things (drawers, windows, ect.) not completely open or closed
6. Rich bastards (you can be rich, but not be a bastard about it)
7. People who make fun of you because they have no friends and it makes them feel good
8. "I did good!" IT'S "I DID WELL!" DAMNIT!
9. When I'm smarter than my teachers
10. People who believe god can do everything (how many times have you prayed to him/her and been given the cold shoulder?)

Not true. It often has an exrtremely complicated beat, or combinations of beats. That said, 99.9999% of it is drivel.

It's that 99.9999% that bothers me.

It's that 99.9999% that bothers me.
Agreed.

Another pet peeze,

When Czadras, Fiddlebottoms and others of that crowd are online and not posting.:D :mad: ;) :p :fluffle:

When Czadras, Fiddlebottoms and others of that crowd are online and not posting.
Meh, I've already had my big argument over something stupid for the night, and it was rather dissapointing, everyone was just so . . . civil.
I still got to see Fass get pissed off, though, so I guess that means that the world is still right side up.
My other pet peeve is people who use animated smilies. I have a borderline case of ADHD, and normally that doesn't bother me, but when I'm trying to read and there's :headbang: :fluffle: :fluffle: :sniper: :headbang: :sniper: :mp5: :mp5: :gundge: going on it slows me down and causes much gnashing of teeth.

Seeing Fass upset happens often.

And who needs arguing:fluffle:

(sorry)

Seeing Fass upset happens often.

You read into my posts sentiments that aren't there. This is the Interweb - nothing is for real here. Always bear that in mind.

Seeing Fass upset happens often.
Which is why I was somewhat worried until I realized that he was just saving it up for the other guy (who really does deserve it, no using "gay" and "sex" in the same sentence? Even in my neonazi days I'd have thought that was stupid)
And who needs arguing
Who needs sex? Every once in awhile you just get that itch.

You read into my posts sentiments that aren't there. This is the Interweb - nothing is for real here. Always bear that in mind.
Everytime you say something that I have no choice but to agree I feel a little less sure of my grip on reality.
Yes, that last sentence was a self-contradiction, congratulations for seeing such and have a cookie.

1) people who use Internet talk in real life conversation (lol, jk, you know who you are)

2)hand-holding couples walking really slow and taking up the whole hallway

3)men who take the urinal right next to yours. That's just damn creepy.

3)men who take the urinal right next to yours. That's just damn creepy.
Thats not so bad unless they start looking around, "Yes, we both have them, and no, you can't touch it just this moment", or if they try to strike up a conversation. I've had had complete strangers try to make small talk at the urinals, and it always creeps the Hell out of me.

Stupider (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=stupider) is a perfectly cromulent word. ;)

WHAT??? I object! I am of the opinion that "stupider" has only been given a definition because too many stupid people use the word!!!! Sad am I.

http://rds.yahoo.com/;_ylt=AiO1H5met.WocahtMhNQSdNXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTBwdmFmdDRvBGNvbG8DZQRsA1dTMQRwb3MDMQRzZWMDc3I-/SIG=12krpmrtl/EXP=1131597007/**http%3A%2F%2Fwww.urbandictionary.com%2Fdefine.php%3Fterm%3Dshizzle

Anyone can make up a word. My new word is: fukdatchit.

I'm also gonna add:

4) Non-Americans who use the insult "redneck". It's like blacks and the "n-word". That is our word. Thank you.

My pet peeve is people who ask me how I want my meat, I say, medium well, and then I get it rare! WTF?!?!!? That's probably why I've given up on resturant meat, and gone with pasta. ¤hugs an Italian¤
