I don't think there's been one of these threads for a while, so go forth, what bothers you? Rants are encouraged (not necessarily in response to other people's rants, unless they happen to hit upon one of your pet peeves with their rant)

My biggest pet peeve is "vegetarians" who eat fish and chicken. They bother me because every time I talk to someone and it comes up that I'm vegetarian, they usually ask "Oh, so do you eat fish?" and I tell them no, because I'm vegetarian and then they tell me about their friend who is vegetarian and eats fish and I have to tell them that their friend isn't a vegetarian, they are a pescaterian. So I have a message to all those pescatarians: Stop claiming to be vegetarian, damnit!

nnngghh!

Irony is for wankers!

Horray for wanking!

I hate it when people leave the windows in their car open while driving down the highway

Trolls on this forum.And the fact I react to them,that's even worse.
But,in the world outside of this forum;vegans.They look at me as if they're morally higher than me,and that they're somehow better than me because I eat meat.Also,people who give religion a bad name-I can name a few people on this forum-because they have warped or misinterpreted views of it.
*eye twitches.*

People who laugh at stupid shit, and their stupid laughs.

I hate people who go down foot paths with there dogs of there leads:

1) the dog isn’t having as much fun running in a field where your suppose to take dogs

2) I have to slow down when I jog past some wanker with there dog because if I run the dog will chase me and the owner will be a moany old fart about how unfair it is that they have to keep there dog on a lead when not in a park

3) if you don’t take your dog to a park or field because you don’t want to deal with other dogs why the fuck do you own a dog in the first place?!

4) pick your dog shit up

now that we have that established I have to point out that I need to time myself and as such having me running my best to only have to stop after a mile because of some plank tends to erk me.

Same here.

Also, pro-murder Christians.

SUV drivers and taxi drivers, because they don't think cyclists have a right to use the road.

My biggest pet peeve are little repetitive noises. A dripping faucet, bad engine, someone who has their headsets turned up too high. That kind of stuff.

Next to that is the "cheerleader mentality", y'know: "Oh my Gawd! My cellphone is running out of minutese! ect. etc.". These are the same kind of people who live in a fantasy land, and still talk about shows like "Hey Arnold" like its the biggest thing since Jesus.

If I here the name "Anna Montana" one more time...

University for being a bunch of incompetent ....s at times.

Lusers, who consider Windows better than Linux 'because I always used it' before asking me for help with said systems.

politicians who have no clue about what they are talking!

my list is rather long.

I think I'll go again:

People who want the British empire back - its dead yes it was fun but imperialism is over. Dead. Get over it

People obsessed with WWII - yes every time we all secretly want the Nazis to win but its over it happened 60 odd years ago there are things that have happened between then and now and no it hasn’t shaped the modern world

My pet peeves? Pet peeves ;)

Really though... I've got a whole list that goes on and on and on...

1) Republicans who say "All democrats = liberal commie pinkos!"

2) Democrats who say "All republicans are religous right wing nut jobs"

3) People who don't see the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek

4) People who say Lord of the Rings is a rip off of Chronicles of Narnia or Harry Potter.

5) Religous Fanatics

6) This one bothers me less now, but people who say Macs suck and can't do anything when their computer crashes everyother day, gets viruses everyother day, refuses to load programs everyother day...

I hate it when people leave the windows in their car open while driving down the highway

While it's raining.

And people who's headphones I can hear... across the room... in a busy lobby.

That's the idea of NSG my dear.

That's the idea of NSG my dear.

Teh fuck?My quote disappeared.Well,it was aimed at Smunkee.

1. People who misuse "its" and "it's." Also, people who use the non-word "alot." Bad grammar in general annoys me, but those particular mistakes drive me especially nuts because there is no logical reason to make them. Contractions always require apostrophes, possessive pronouns never do, and unless you also think "afew" or "abunch" are words, why would you believe "alot" to be one?

2. People who seem to honestly believe that rehashing the same stupid arguments against evolution over and over and over constitutes making a valid point. ("Oh yeah? Well, if humans came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys? Betcha can't explain that!") Argue against facts all you want, but for heaven's sake, can't you come up with an argument that hasn't been debunked several million times already? A little creativity would be nice!

I'm sure I have many more pet peeves, but those are the ones that spring to mind today. :)

I hate it when people leave the windows in their car open while driving down the highway

please be more clear

are you pissed when you look over at another car on the highway and see that someone is driving with the windows open

or do you have friends who drive with the window down while you are in the car and dont have the consideration to close it when its too windy for you?

lets see if I can do "the short list"


people who claim a "constitutional right" to something they have no constitutional right to
people who confuse the declaration of independence and the constitution
people who don't use turn signals
people who "hate people who hate because hating is wrong"
people who claim that morality is relative but also claim that "murder is wrong because it is"
people who speak in absolutes
people who generalize
people who treat children like animals
people who attack my grammar rather than debate because they know I am right
amatuer "Bible" experts who "find contradictions" from forwarded emails and never bother to check them out
people who take things out of context to prove their point
people who think I am stupid because of my religion

people who treat children like animals


i hate it when adults act like children dont have a right to be on an airplane. they get all pissy as soon as they see kids in the waiting area. kids have a right to transportation too!

it makes me crazy when a baby is crying on an airplane and a stupid adult says "why doesnt she shut that baby up?" as if the baby is a CD player that can be turned off, as if the mother LOVES it when her baby cries.

grow the fuck up! babies have as much right to get on an airplane as you do. sometimes babies cry. get over it. if you are so delicate that you cant deal with a crying baby, buy some bose earphones.

People who insist on driving slowly in the left lane.
People who drive right up behind me when I'm already going fast.
People who drive right up behind me when there is a car in front of me. I can't GO any faster, dumbass.
People who drive right up behind me in general. It makes me want to slam on my brakes.
People who can't drive but insist on trying. The driving tests need to be more difficult, so that complete fools can't pass them. As it is, an infant could pass these things.
Christian fundies.
Muslim fundies.
Fundies in general. If I made a religion, the lowest circle of Hell would be reserved for these guys.
Homophobes.
Those homosexuals who do try to "convert" heterosexuals.
Republicans
Democrats
Liberals
Conservatives

You know what? It seems that I just don't like people...

- People not listening to me.
- Even worse when people act like they listen to me, then ask me something or do something like I'd never told them later on, and then claim I didn't tell them.
- Being aggravated, then being bitched at for being so angry - so I get even angrier, then they bitch at me even more...ad infinitum. Then they they act like they don't know why I'm angry - BLAMING IT ON ME! I WOULD HAVE CALMED DOWN BY NOW IF YOU HAD STOPPED BITCHING AT ME FOR BEING ANGRY!
- Realising I may have a slight anger management problem.
- Little shits in secondary school thinking they're so f***ing big that they can say something utterly random or shout abuse in my ear just because I happen to have the misfortune of walking past them in the street.
- Smoking in non smoking places.
- Crusaders of anti-smoking going out of their way to yell at smokers.

People who complain about "alot" bother me alot.

9/11 deniers.
revisionist historians.

People who complain about "alot" bother me alot.

Not using periods/full stops pisses me off

You know what? It seems that I just don't like people...

I know how that is.

1. people who try to talk while yawning

2. smokers, especially ones who smoke inside non-smoking areas

3. people who think jesus is The Lord

4. people who shove their morals and beliefs down my throat. <_<

People who listen to just one headphone, surely the worst attempt at multi-tasking.

Even worse, people who attempt to talk to me while doing such.

Not using periods/full stops pisses me offO rly?

:p

Ooh, you've reminded me of another pet peeve: people who go to children's movies and then complain because there are (gasp! shock!) children in the audience. How dare those parents bring their kids with them when they go see "Happy Feet" or "The Incredibles"! :rolleyes:

People who treat their country's constitution as if it was an infallible document written by God. *cough* Americans *cough*

People who apply postmodernist relativism to politics.

Non-Americans who use Americanisms.

9/11 deniers.

ah that brings another one its 11/9/2001 why does putting the date in the middle make any logical sense is it some kind of bad boy leader who sits in the middle because there the most important?

People who complain about "alot" bother me alot.

Heh. Luckily, I generally only complain about it when I'm asked to tell people about my pet peeves. The rest of the time I just seethe internally. :)

O rly?

:p

Ya rly. <---- full stop

I'm sure there's lots more, but calorie counting for one.

I hate
:headbang: :mad:

1.Wars

2.People who cause wars *cough*George Bush

3.People with bad singing voices

4.Headaches(all of the things above cause headaches)

lets see if I can do "the short list"

lucky you my list just go longer and i can't think of a short list

My pet peeves?
1) Republicans and Democrats. They're in the same spot because they're the same.
2) The preppy cheerleader types..... like my sister.
3) Religious fanatics
4) People who won't leave me the f#ck alone and stop asking retarded quesitons....
5) My old middle school
6) Most people who still go to my old middle school
7) The idiots in my class who went to my old middle school and still haven't learned to shut the f#ck up.... that's how you tell who went to which middle school
8) Hollywood
9) the US governement
10) Idiots on the school board who keep springing tests on us and making us participate in "Writing Wednesday" just so they can stay in power..... er, on the school board
11) Gangstas/wiggas.....
12) The American education system
13) Anti-sex ed classes
14) Stupid people........... just in case you didn't figure it out from the first 13 pet peeves......

:headbang:

- Leaving doors open. Continously. What's the point in a door if it's always open? Why not just leave it as a hole in the wall?
- Turning the volume on the T.V. up too high, or music players. Then when asked to turn it down, they say "you're not the boss of me."
- Using the word "like" when it's completely uneccessary.
- Replacing the word "said" with "like" or "goes".
- Microsoft word. I don't need to elaborate.

EDIT: Hey I think this was my 666th post! Feel free to note pointless celebrations of post counts as a pet peeve! :)

I couldn’t really think of anything, but now that you mention it…

- Little shits in secondary school thinking they're so f***ing big that they can say something utterly random or shout abuse in my ear just because I happen to have the misfortune of walking past them in the street.
Tell me about it. I had the misfortune of being stuck in the pre-Christmas traffic jams in a stuffy bus on Friday with a pile of idiotic secondary school boys. They are some of the rudest groups of people you can get; the way they spoke about other guys in their year (I couldn’t help listening; they shout) who weren’t as ‘gorgeous’ as them, or who were possibly gay was horrible. Plus they started throwing things around the bus and I got hit (at least it was only an empty water bottle).

My biggest pet peeve are little repetitive noises. A dripping faucet, bad engine, someone who has their headsets turned up too high. That kind of stuff.My bedroom is right next to the only bathroom in our house, and for months the tap couldn’t shut off completely. It was a nightmare! Also headphones also drive me insane. I can’t listen to music while doing homework/study. That’s why I go to the library. But in my college library there’s no rule against headphones (even though phone calls are prohibited). I had one hour left before my test and I couldn’t learn a thing, because 4 metres away was a guy with his MP3 player playing dance tunes of which I could hear the words that distance away! Grr!

1. People who misuse "its" and "it's." Also, people who use the non-word "alot." Bad grammar in general annoys me, but those particular mistakes drive me especially nuts because there is no logical reason to make them. Contractions always require apostrophes, possessive pronouns never do, and unless you also think "afew" or "abunch" are words, why would you believe "alot" to be one?Poor grammar is very annoying. I can tolerate the odd mistake (I make them myself) but when a whole sentence takes a couple of minutes to decode it’s a nuisance. Typing online like you might in a text message is very annoying. I understand that the longer the text message the more you might have to pay so that’s understandable, but why do it online if it makes you look like an idiot, and it’s quite incomprehensible.

it makes me crazy when a baby is crying on an airplane and a stupid adult says "why doesnt she shut that baby up?" as if the baby is a CD player that can be turned off, as if the mother LOVES it when her baby cries.Yes, people can be very judgemental of other parents. It’s as if a perfect parent will never have a crying baby; not the case. But I have to admit that I was on a 4 hour plane journey before in which a baby had a musical toy and kept setting it off; consistently the same tune. Now in that case the parent could’ve just taken the toy off the child; crying would’ve been a more pleasant sound.

Ooh, you've reminded me of another pet peeve: people who go to children's movies and then complain because there are (gasp! shock!) children in the audience. How dare those parents bring their kids with them when they go see "Happy Feet" or "The Incredibles"!I can stand children; as long as they don’t start talking loudly during a screening. Just because a film has a universal/general rating doesn’t mean that adults can’t watch them. I still remember the time that I went to see ‘Shrek’. Many good kids in the audience; but it only takes one annoying one sitting behind you to get on you nerves. To this day when I watch that film I’m reminded of the high-pitched squeal every five minutes of “Where’s the dragon, Daddy?” *shudders*

ah that brings another one its 11/9/2001 why does putting the date in the middle make any logical sense is it some kind of bad boy leader who sits in the middle because there the most important?I must agree with you there. To me 9/11 means the ninth of November! How does the 11/9/2001 works as the 11th day of the 9th month 2001. Going from shortest to longest. I have no idea how you would literally translate it in the ‘American’ order.

What I also cannot stand is people cracking their knuckles (or in my sister’s case also her back and neck). It’s bad for you and it’s an awful sound. Why?

My pet peeves?
1) Republicans and Democrats. They're in the same spot because they're the same.
2) The preppy cheerleader types..... like my sister.
3) Religious fanatics
4) People who won't leave me the f#ck alone and stop asking retarded quesitons....

*makes note not to end up on the longer list*

*makes note not to end up on the longer list*

Don't worry, Isa, you're on my good list. :)

And my long list is much, much longer. :eek:

1. People who call others rich out of envy that they have something the accuser doesn't.
2. People who think there's a fast and slow lane.
3. People who ask me the same question over again every time they see me when they know my answer will always be the same.
4. People who deliberately say something that they know annoys me, then does it again when I ask them to stop politely.

Things that bother me are people on cell phones where they shouldn't be. Such in line to order or pay for something, eating, and in the Mosque(yes, a kids cell phone went off during prayer awhile back) very irritating. Also seeing things like women dressing like whores and drunk people, I find both very annoying.

Tell me about it. I had the misfortune of being stuck in the pre-Christmas traffic jams in a stuffy bus on Friday with a pile of idiotic secondary school boys. They are some of the rudest groups of people you can get; the way they spoke about other guys in their year (I couldn’t help listening; they shout) who weren’t as ‘gorgeous’ as them, or who were possibly gay was horrible. Plus they started throwing things around the bus and I got hit (at least it was only an empty water bottle).

Jesus, don't get me started on the ones on the bus. They sit around in the back seats and act like they own the place, they've got no sense of volume (or no sense of respect), swear perpetually, and if they're bored enough start shouting at other passengers.

Don't worry, Isa, you're on my good list. :)

And my long list is much, much longer. :eek:

thats good to hear some good news and my list is a book now :(

now you have me going!

what the fuck is it with parents who dont notice that their little angels are misbehaving right there in plain sight and they do NOTHING to stop it. IN PUBLIC? why dont they notice that the dear things are saying or singing the same thing (or playing the tinny toy noise) over and over and over again until you want to strangle them? what makes them think that its OK to have jr (or themselves) talk, scream, squeal all through a movie as if they were in their own homes watching a dvd? THEY ARENT. its a good chance to teach the little darlings how to behave in public.

your kids dont start acting properly by accident. you have to teach them how to behave. SO GET TO IT.

Certainly adults can go to kids' movies - heck, they're often the best movies around. :) And, honestly, it's one thing to find a particular child's behavior somewhat grating, and another to complain about the presence of children, period. I remember when I saw "Chicken Run" years ago, several parents who clearly knew each other had brought their respective kids - about seven of them, all around four or five years old. The kids were adorable and exceptionally well-behaved, but the idiot sitting behind me spent the whole freaking movie complaining to his companion that "those little brats" were giggling too much, and that their parents "had no right" to "force" other people to listen to them. :rolleyes:

my pet peeve is other drivers.

yeah, that gets me too. especially airplanes. If we go to a movie, or Church, or out to eat, or the grocery store and my kid freaks out, I take them away from the other people (outside to the car, to the bathroom, etc.) but really where am I supposed to take them on a plane?!

Sometimes my cat throws up on the bed. Would that be a pet peeve?

Welcome to my world. Damn people not getting out of my way.

I may be 14 and a little old for most G-rated movies, however I am proud to admit that "Finding Nemo" is the BEST G-rated Disney/Pixar movie ever. :D

Yes.

I am proud to admit that "Finding Nemo" is the BEST G-rated Disney/Pixar movie ever. :D

Screw that one of the best films of all time!

i hate other drivers. they are my pet peeve. every one of them. especially that asshole trying to overtake me on the inside lane of the roundabout tonight and racing me and generally being a dick.

god, there are so many things that piss me off which other drivers do..... i really wouldn't know where to start :mad:


i'm not sure if anything pisses me off as much as driving



edit:
my pet peeve is other drivers.

grow the fuck up! babies have as much right to get on an airplane as you do. sometimes babies cry. get over it. if you are so delicate that you cant deal with a crying baby, buy some bose earphones.

The fuck they do. I paid for me seat. The baby didn't.

Anyway, if you can't control your children, then stay home until you can. The rest of us shouldn't be put out because your an irresponsible breeder. It's bad enough that we have to pay extra tax to subsidize it without making us suffer being around the little poop machines.

I make it a point to smoke around other people's children.

I do too, but only when I am in a smoking allowed area, or my space. If you want to come to MY Place, MY rules are in force. You can be a dick at your house. I've had parents get mad at me while I sat in the smoking area of restaraunts because their children were running around the restaraunt, not sitting at the table IN THE NON SMOKING AREA.

My pet peeves:

1. Cars with less than 250 hp in the left lane. If you can't buy a decent car, stay off the highway.

2. People who debate which is better: burger king, mcdonalds, or KFC. It's all dogshit. Just drop it.

3. People who wear thompson camel tartan and think it makes them cool because they bought it from burberry. You're idiots. I make an exception for those whose name is actually thompson.

4. Tommy Hilfger.

5. Wing collars with short dinner jackets.

6. Glen Miller is not classical music, nor does listening to jazz make you an 'intellectual'.

7. Intellectuals.

8. The word advancement.

9. SUVs.

10. People who can't drive SUVs.

11. Soccer moms in SUVs who tailgate me on central park avenue. I swear to god, one day I am going to follow you home and knock your fucking teeth out.

12. Fluff. The 'food' not the random pocket filler.

13. Chicago banning fois gras.

14. The fact that fois gras can become a political issue.

15. Every politician ever, since the begining of time, with the sole exception of Alcibiades. He made me laugh.

16. People who defend 'sheets' Byrd.

17. The Royal Family.

18. People who want to abolish the Royal Family.

19. People who get weepy about Princess Diana. You didn't know her bunghole. Christ, they say the royal family is mad, at least they don't burst into tears for people they've never met.

20. Christians who go around telling everyone about it. Listen, you have no more monopoly on the truth than I do, so shut up. You're the people who make me a loud atheist. Nice christians, like episcopalians, are of course welcome to me house for sherry and cake on christmas morning of course.

21. Muslims who call for an islamic britian and threaten to behead me. Go the fuck back to saudi boghole or wherever the fuck you came from. It's islamic there already and we don't need anymore islamic countries. Nice muslims, who don't blow things up and are productive members of the community and who refuse to act as apologists for the blow things up crowd, should of course get some type of community award for being the stand up blokes that they are however.

22. Racism.

23. Closet racists that are always banging on about racism.

24. Maine.

25. Ontario.

26. Georgia.

27. Wales.

28. London.

29. Smoggies.

30. That NUFC has done jack shit since the 50s. That's why I hate football. :mad:

31. The Falcons.

32. Andrew Flintoff's captaincy.

33. People who bang about clement atlee, but clearly don't know anything about him other than he came in high on that stupid list.

34. People who slag off Margaret Thatcher for ruining britain, and then vote for Princess Tony and his gang.

35. People who don't like cats.

36. People who don't like dogs.

37. People who don't like horses.

38. Children. I'm sorry, I'm sure you think that your kid is the next MichelAngelo Buonarotti, Einstien, Beethoven and George Orwell rolled into one. Well it's not. It's most likely a moron like the rest of us, and it's irritating to boot. Please stop mentioning the cute/funny/precocious shit it does every five minute. BTW, I can't wait until its hooked on meth and selling its ass for the next hit. I will laugh loudly and obviously about it in your face when that happens.

39. Bad oral hygene.

40. People who are single and whine about it. I'm sorry to report that you are single because you are a loser. Maybe it's time to rethink that 'holding out for Grace Park' policy you have. Also, stop calling me at 2 a.m. because you are depressed because you are 'alone'. That's your choice, not mine.

41. People who make lists of their pet peeves.

42. Henry Kissingers fake accent.

43. That the media have never exposed henry kissingers fake accent.

44. People who claim they hate racism but then want to tell me why interracial adoption and relationships are bad. Wrong! Listen douchebag, if we all fuck each other like rabbits, then the whole racism thing will vanish on its own. Did I mention I hate racists BTW?

45. The current crop of young socialists. When I was your age, we did it properly. Not this namby pamby feel good college boy shit that goes on today. Wankers.

46. People who think masturbation is a sin.

47. Christians that think is okay for them to make jokes about sex, but not anyone else.

48. People who think that art can't be erotic.

49. People who slag off Andre Serrano without knowing anything about it.

50. That there aren't more episodes of Battlestar Galactica made every year.

I'll stop for a while. I may resume later.

I do too, but only when I am in a smoking allowed area, or my space. If you want to come to MY Place, MY rules are in force. You can be a dick at your house. I've had parents get mad at me while I sat in the smoking area of restaraunts because their children were running around the restaraunt, not sitting at the table IN THE NON SMOKING AREA.

My point exactly. They are your kids, not mine, why should I have to modify my life for a decision you made without consulting me first.

29. Smoggies.

30. That NUFC has done jack shit since the 50s. That's why I hate football. :mad:

31. The Falcons.:D

I thought you were a Geordie! The hell you doing in NY?

The perversion of science for private interests.
Those who do not understand what a scientific theory is (unless you're funny or original).
People who sit and talk through lectures - piss off to the pub and fail your degree somewhere else!

I may be 14 and a little old for most G-rated movies, however I am proud to admit that "Finding Nemo" is the BEST G-rated Disney/Pixar movie ever. :D

About fish, yes ;)

My family is american and english. I moved back here to go to college in the eighties because there really weren't many opportunities in the north east at that time and I was not about to move down south. No way.

I go back a lot though. I grew up there and it really it my first home. I love tyneside and its people. Just recently I got stinking drunk on the quayside. Good times.....

- People who can't tell the difference between 'its' and 'it's'

- People who mix up 'your' and 'you're' or 'there' 'their' and 'they're'

- When you're eating out and they take an hour to bring you your main course, even though it's already cooked, because the waiter is waiting for you to finish that one slice of bread on your plate

- Bottled water

- Internet advertisements that presume you have the intelligence of George W. Bush

- Annoying and obnoxious laughter

- When the traffic lights change just as you're about to drive through them

- When people say 'women' or 'woman' instead of female: e.g. 'woman soldiers'. WTF? Even TIME does this. You wouldn't say 'man soldiers', would you?

I really only have one:

People who don't WANT to learn. How can people ever hope to find answers if they don't ask questions?

Oh okay, two peeves: Dress codes. Especially at absurd places like night clubs. :mad:

Agreed. Night clubs should have undress codes ;)

Arrogant, ignorant, and/or dumb peoples.
People who make assumptions, and claim it as truth.

People who are unable to listen to someone elses point of view and insults you for having a contrary position.

Agreed. Night clubs should have undress codes ;)

:D

People.

I hate it when people leave the windows in their car open while driving down the highway

Whats wrong with that?

People who wear Yankee hats without being Yankee fans. You know you're just furthering world domination and kitty eating. Grr...

My pet peeves change as the situations change. Right now, because I've just bought a new place, I'm getting sales calles from people who want to sell me security systems, newspapers, meat, insurance - you name it. I really hate that.

My pet peeves:
snip
I'll stop for a while. I may resume later.
You should save yoursefl (and us) some time by just posting what doesn't piss you off.

I thought of a couple:

Body odour: There is no excuse not to bathe once every day if you must venture out in public. The public does not deserve to suffer because of your laziness and complete lack of personal hygiene.

Endless Christmas carols, everywhere: I am very fucking sick of them. I have to work with them in the background, I have to shop with them in the background, and then I come home to them. Too much :/

Trumpets - There's a time and a place for everything except trumpets. Most annoying instrument ever.

Let me guess:
You were at an Ashes match recently and had to put up with the pommy idiot with the trumpet blowing the same dirge for 7 hours?

Nope, but i'm certainly glad I wasn't. ;)

My biggest peeve is ppl who wait patiently in line at the cashier, get to the cashier, wait until all the grocery items have been scanned through and packed, told the amount and then - and only then - do they finally start rummaging around in their bloody bag to look for their wallet.
You bastard! You had 10 bloody minutes to fish your wallet out! Why wait until now?


On a similar note:
The other day I was waiting to buy tickets to see the Tim Robbins' directed play of '1984'.
Typically there were only two booths open (even though this was the first day one could buy tickets to any of the shows in the HK arts festival).
Even more typically, I'm kept waiting there for more than an hour.
Reason why?
One counter was occupied the entire time by a girl who was trying ever-so-hard to decide which show she wanted to go to, what time and what seats.

I'm told on getting there the waiting time to get to the counter is 20 minutes (which is fine and I appreciated them warning me).
This meant this little cow had at least 20 minutes to decide what she wanted to see. (this ignoring the fact the full festival listing had been out for a month, so really she had a lot longer than 20 minutes to make her mind up).
Instead she waited until she go to the counter before opening the brochure and looking through the dozen or so shows on offer.
And then wanting to see listings for each show, and what seats were available and the costs and blah blah blah...

I was there an hour before I got to the one free counter. Buying 6 tickets to '1984' (almost front row seats too, which is awesome) and 2 to 'Taming of the shrew' (which involved me calling my mate to see if the seats were acceptable to her) took about 5 minutes.
When I left, the girl at the next counter (who'd been there the entire time I was waiting) was still there. People waiting were openly abusing her and even the security guard had come over and told her to hurry up. She just giggled and apologised in an irritating little girls voice and kept slowly trying to decide.


I'm absolutely certain it was delibrate. She must get off on making strangers wait for her. She probably ran off into the toilet as soon as she finished to tickle the scampi.
I can offer no other explanation for her behaviour.

Okay so I go out tonight to pick up some late night snacks for hubby and myself, since I remembered when I got to the Sonic that I hadn't eaten all day I go to order myself a burger.........

"I need a double cheese burger with no bread"

"so you just want the meat?"

:headbang:

idiots.

seriously, if I ordered the double cheese burger with no pickles would he say "so you just want the meat?" NO! he would just make the freaking burger with no pickles..........what is so hard to understand?! (I wouldn't care except that if I go during the day time when the manager is there he knows me and he will just make it....but the last few times I have been in the evening and every freaking time it's the same idiot "so you just want the meat?")

:mad:

oh, and not to be racist.......(I know you are just waiting to see what follows) but if you are black, walking down a road with no streetlights, wearing black, don't walk in the middle of the damn street and then flip me off when I swerve to miss running your ass over..........did I mention it's foggy out and while I was only driving 15 miles an hour he was walking towards me and probably seen my lights at least before I got a visual of him?!

My pet peeves:

The people on my college campus who are trying to advertise their stuff. I dont really have a problem with them in general, but with those who actually try to harass me until they get a response from me. Like today, when I was going to my class to take my final, a guy trying to sell stuff for paintballing asked me if I was interested. I shaked my head telling him no but he just walked up to me and shoved the brochure in my face and kept asking me if I was interested. I tried to tell him I had finals to take but he just stood in my way blocking me still trying to get me to buy his things. He finally left me alone when I told him that I didnt give a shit about paintballing.

Also people who think that what they say is so funny and witty when it isn't that they feel the need to repeat it over and over again, somehow thinking that people will actually laugh at it.

1. Fat people. as in excessively fat people. as in people that are so fat i actually wonder how the heck they got so fat.

2. Smelly people

3. people that are so fat they get a handicapped parking spot. i mean, what did they say to get that? "Hey, im so fat i need to park closer to the store so i dont have to use any more energy than is humanly possible"

4. people that leave shopping carts in the middle of the parking lot, especially when the lil' cart return place is 10 in away. lazy turds

5. when people dont tell me something.

Over used phrases

1. Vegetarians/Vegans who try to force their views on me, they're great otherwise.

2. Bad Jokes.

3. People with views that they don't bother explaining.

For no apparent reason, when people make their "Js" qithout caps on them:confused:

Ok, another one. Smokers. Being around tobacco just annoys me to no end. Hopefully the smoking ban will help keep my irritation away. :)

QFT

also, people who can't chew their food quietly. My god, the sounds they make are so annoying, which is why i can't stand eating w/ certain people.

I went shopping and I have some new ones.


Customers who deceide to be total pricks. I was at Costco and this guy ahead of us was giving the cashier a hard time because two books he bought that were in the same series rang in as having the same title. He made her ring it in a couple more times just to prove that she wasn't actually ringing in the same book. Then some other customer tried to get by (they have the checkouts set up that two lines of people face each other) and she said "Excuse me" and he gave her a huge lecture about how she should say "Excuse me" before trying to squeeze by and not after. The guy was an utter douchebag.


Also, tailgaters are asshats. Seriously. I've started to slow down just to spite them.

I hate it when people leave the windows in their car open while driving down the highway

My dad does that...to save petrol...

Phosporic acid. It's not enough that it's a polyprotic acid, but it has to have three protons that dissociate, with a different equilibrium constant each time. I hate chemistry homework.

True. I also really hate people who ask questions that have really obvious questions. At work people actually ask me where the bathroom is when they just have to lift their eyes and see where the restrooms are. What are they just stupid or do they feel some kind of requirement to ask? Really now, if there is a sign right in front of your nose and you still ask where that something is then they must be either an idiot or a jerk.

Agreed.

Unless they are tailgating someone who is dawdling in the passing lane. In which case they have the right of it.

Hell, I could be going 55 in a 45 zone and STILL have someone on my ass. Quite irritating.

*shakes fist at tailgaters*

3. people who think jesus is The Lord

4. people who shove their morals and beliefs down my throat. <_<

Reminds me of Prize Giving, we had to sing the National Anthem (patriotism isn't really my thing) and we had to sing Silent Night...

Talk about shoving it down your throat "Christ, the Saviour is born" and "The Prince of Peace is born".

Fags.

Agreed.

Unless they are tailgating someone who is dawdling in the passing lane. In which case they have the right of it.
Yeah, but I was going 110-120 km/h in the second lane from the left and some jackass was right on my bumper. I ended up slowing to 90 out of spite...

No, this is what I'm talking about. Quite often I want to go at 85-90. I don't really want the peson ahead of me deciding that 65 is 'fast enough'. It's passing lane, and I want to pass.

As long as people let faster traffic pass, I agree, there is no need for tailgating.

I think the worst was when I was going down a hilly road with a limit of 80 at 110 and some guy was right on my bumper, it was one lane so he couldn't pass but it's like come the fuck on, it's not safe to go any faster. Then he ended up passing me when there was a solid yellow line and almost got smoked by a truck.

At any rate, there's never any need for tailgating, even if someone is going "too slow" you should pass them or realise that you don't need to go more than 30 km/h above the speed limit.

Ah. I can see that yes.



And something else to add on to this is cyclists. After looking into the cycling thread I have been reminded that cyclists in the middle of the road are an irritation that drivers should not have to put up with.

I don't know why any cyclist would want to be in the centre of the road. I think I've been stuck in a lane that wasn't the furthest right lane because some jerk driver won't let me get to the right.

Yeah, but I was going 110-120 km/h in the second lane from the left and some jackass was right on my bumper. I ended up slowing to 90 out of spite...

i used to do that.

id be going down the highway passing slower traffic at a speed above the legal limit and some ass would come up behind me flashing his lights as if its my duty to move over and get stuck in slower traffic so that he can endanger everyone on the road with his excessive speeding.

so i would slow down to the speed of the person i was passing for a minute or so then speed up and get past them and pull over into the slower lane.

i decided that that was dangerous. sooner or later some ass would end up shooting me for it. so i stopped.

At any rate, there's never any need for tailgating, even if someone is going "too slow" you should pass them or realise that you don't need to go more than 30 km/h above the speed limit.

You would think. But then you are on the thruway, where 85-90 during the day really isn't all that fast, and some idiot ahead of you in a 1992 buick skylark decides that he's going to pull out into the passing lane and overtake a truck going at 60 mph by doing 60.0000000001 mph.

That's just bang out of order. And needs to be dealt with by sitting 6" away from his rear with the brights on.

However, most times tailgaters are just obnoxious idiots in SUVs, who ironically tend to hog the left lane themselves.

Edit: And why is that skylark always that horrible blue color?

I don't know why any cyclist would want to be in the centre of the road. I think I've been stuck in a lane that wasn't the furthest right lane because some jerk driver won't let me get to the right.

Well most aren't in the very center but are still taking up the lane that traffic should be using. And since it is often only a one lane road it is real annoying to try to pass since now you have to worry about being creamed by oncoming traffic. Bicycles are an amazing nuisense.
