Pet Peeve Thread...Thanks Quicksilver!
 

I was just reading Quicksilver's thread about people cutting him off on the freeway, and I thought, what better way to get to know people better than finding out what really ticks them off...LOL...I mean, what do you guys (and gals, Sorry 'Chelle) find that really just pisses ya' off? Allow me to begin...

Im sure its just the New Yorker in me, but to all the f&$#in idiots out there:

a) your PIN, (10-15 seconds with wait)
b)"withdraw, or deposit", (8-9 seconds with wait)
c)"checking or savings", (6-7 seconds)
d)"do you want another transaction? - YES, or FREAKIN' NO" (2 seconds)

Its called an ATM machine, and if you are standing there for 1 SECOND OVER 2 minutes, go see a F*&#in doctor, because you're an idiot!!! What are u doing, reveiwing your Portfolio, applying for a home loan?!! MOVE IT!!! Sorry, just had to get that off my chest...

:rant::mad::dunno::tsk::confused::flame::gun::wtf: :angryfire:tantrum:

I'm generally laid back but yesterday I realized it is a good thing we all don't carry guns. I pull into a small Citgo station because my car is on "0/0" and I realize that there are 4 cars at the 4 pumps, I get ready to wait my turn when I realize that two of the trucks are un-occupied and not getting any fuel. So in my frustration I simply pull in a parking spot and wait for the other drivers to finish. One does so I pull in and fill up. While I'm filling the car up the two guys come out to their respective trucks. I then watch a MB come around the corner not seeing me and try to swing in my spot. The female driving locks up her brakes after realizing there was a car at the pump. She then backs out assuming one of the guys that just got in the trucks next to me are leaving. But nope, the trucks decide it is more prudent to switch pump spots so that the one truck can get to the diesel pump. Keep in mind there are 3 cars waiting while these trucks are pulling this stunt.

It was all I could do to not say "WTF are you to @holes doing?"

Slow walkers.

I don't mean elderly or physically disabled people or people carrying heavy stuff. I mean able bodied long legged physically capable unencumbered people walking at a snails pace along the busiest part of the mall, sidewalk, hallway or airport.

Slow walkers have a knack for finding each other and walking side-by-side. Slow walkers have tunnel vision and cannot see anyone else around them. Slow walkers stop and pause in front of escalators, elevators and doorways with no intention of proceeding.

Many times walking in a mall I've had to make evasive manouvers, with my 5 year old daughter in tow and carrying arm loads of shopping bags, around packs of slow walking 6' tall able bodied adults.

If you can't walk faster than a 42" tall 5 year old then get the F*** out of the way!!!!!!!

:rant:

Ok, I'm done. Thank you bozo for the opportunity to get it off my chest.

Don't forget the people who just HAVE to clean out and rearrange their wallets/purses during the middle of the transaction - while they're on the cell phone no less.

Here's one of mine. People at grocery line checkouts who A) Wait until all of their groceries have been scanned before they begin to swipe their ATM card to pay, and then they take forever acting like it is the first time they have ever used a terminal at a grocery store. B) Same scenario except the person waits until all of their groceries have been scanned, and then and only then they slowly reach for their checkbook and begin to slowly write a personal check, while they could have had everything filled out except for the $$ amount.

people who stand at the doorways to shops talking blocking the doorway from people getting in and out of the shop . :dunno:
WTF you doing you have a whole fu**ing mall to stand in and you stand at the door blocking it

Very few people think 'ahead' - they are often oblivious to the situation they are presently in - unfortunately, when that happens in a car, it often results in an accident - (read motto below) - my pet peeves are the simple ones, drivers who don't signal (or signal as they turn), driving without your lights on in rain,fog,or snow, people who don't say 'please' or 'thank you', talking with your mouth full (didn't your mom beat this into you???), doing 10mph (or more) UNDER the speed limit in the left lane - When you are on the road people, communicate! Life would be so much easier.

Lack of customer service at stores??

For me the worst has got to be when I see someone throw a cigarette butt out of their car window. Especially when the car is in motion and in front of me and the damn thing hits my windshield. Smoking is one of the nastiest habits one could have in general. Its so nasty apparently that the ones who do it can't stand to smell their own used cigarette butts in their cars. So they have the unmitigated gall to litter the rest of the world with the refuse of their own nasty habit that is apparently so vile that they can't tollerate the smell of it in their own vehicles. This behavor is indicitive of someone who has no regard for anything but themselves. I take it back. If they cared about themselves they would be nonsmokers.

Mark

1) People who can't follow simple directions

2) People who don't follow through on a commitment

3) People who decide to pay the .81 in change by fishing through their pockets/wallets/purses (that have about $5 in change stuffed into them) after they're done with their conversation with their friend in front of them in line. The kicker is when they act surprised that their lunch doesn't cost an even $6 and THEN decide to start fishing for change.

4) People who ride the EZPass lane who don't have EZPass and then decide to move to the cash lane at the choke point and tie up 4 lanes of traffic (anyone who has ever taken the upper deck of the GW Bridge into NYC will undoubtedly have experienced this one)

5) People who blame society for how they turned out.

6) EXTREME left wing Liberals (not your every day run of the mill liberal, but the extreme left wing liberal.

7) EXTREME right wing conservatives. (not your every day run of the mill conservative, but the extreme right wing liberal)

8) Anyone who doesn't admit that they bought a high end car "just because they wanted it" :) :bustingup

9) Met/Jet/Devil/Islander fans. oh, and Bosux fans.

10) People who park next to my vette when I've purposely parked 100 yards from the closest entrance where no one has parked in about 10 years.

11) When people who work for me use some stupid excuse for why they're late when they don't have to be in he office until 10 as it is. And THEN leave before 6 as if they're entitled because it wasn't their fault that they were late.

12) People who use the phrase "i could care less". just for the record the phrase is "I COULDN'T care less", if you COULD care less, you obviously care.

13) Fans who stand up in front of you at sporting events looking for their wallets to pay the concession guy $8 for the cotton candy and funny hat for their 4 year old kid who hasn't watched 2 minutes of the game, and who fail to realize/consider the hundreds of people sitting down behind him who are now blocked from seeing the sporting event that they paid to come see because you can't get your wallet out of your pants while sitting.

14) Anyone who watches the "OC" for the plot

15) All HUMMER owners

16) People who die their hair purple and then pierce various parts of their anatomy and then get an attitude when you gawk at them for being different.

17) My parents who screen every phone call at their house by looking at the caller ID and yet, despite the fact that I've had the same phone numbers for over 3 years, they still let the answering machine pick up because they "didn't recognize the number" :rolleyes:

18) People who stand in the doorway of the subway car and don't get out of the way when you're trying to get on or off the train. And then give you attitude when you push through them (even though you've said excuse me about 5 times)

19) People who blame/curse at the cop for giving them a speeding ticket despite the fact that they were in fact speeding and deserve said ticket.

20) People who ride the shoulder to get ahead of the traffic jam and then cut back into traffic up ahead, as if wherever they are going is more important than the hundreds of people that they just jumped ahead of.


and #21 - People who have a long list of pet peeves :) :)

sorry 1 more -

#22 - My mother who likes to leave me phone messages saying "when you hvae a minute, please call me back, i have a question" instead of leaving the question as the message so that when I call back I have an answer or leave the answer on her machine if she's not home, instead we play phone tag until I drag the question out of her. BTW - the question is usually computer help related and by the time we actually speak, she has either forgotten the problem or is incapable of describing what happened, OR, my all time favorite, she received an email from someone she didn't know and wants to know if she should open it or just delete it.

People who call my house and then my cell phone looking for me, but decide not to leave a message, especially when they call at night when we're putting the kids to bed and the darn phones just don't stop ringing (yo, bor-in-law, I'm talking to you!). :thumbup:

People who go to a fast food joint like McDonalds and stand there staring at the menu over their head trying to decide what they want when the damn menu hasn't changed significantly in about 50 years. (Not to mention that they had about 10 minutes to decide while they were waiting for the people in front of them to stop staring at the menu :) it's a viscious cycle)

WOW! I couldn't agree more with you. Aside from how disgusting the act of smoking is, the loitering of a lit butt out a car window has contributed to numerous grass/forest fires....some of which destroyed million dollar homes in B.C.

- Too SLOW in the FAST lane!
- Too SLOW in the SLOW lane!
- Pull out in front of you Too SLOW!
- People without the ability to speak on a cell phone and drive (some of us have this ability and some don't....not gonna say who don't)
- More than 10 items in the EXPRESS check out isle (they think they're always the exception to this rule)

People who are carrying on in the middle lane at slow speed, then for no apparent reason decide to cut me off by coming into the fast lane while I'm going 20mph faster than them, and then continue their original speed.

LMFAO!! Im so glad this is here...Im sitting here pissing my pants, and realized, I agree with almost everything that was said...And also, have committed some of the said offenses..Oops! But keep 'em coming anyway!! Gresch, ever thought about looking into an anger management class?...:Rofl:

I would much prefer that people smartened up, but I think the anger management class is more realistic :)

It will pass, I haven't had a cigarette in 2 weeks, so my brain is just having trouble adjusting....

talking on the cell in the highspeed lane going 60mph~!

When people dont' know the difference between: there, their and they're. :dunno:

Or your and you're :rolleyes:

Or we're, wear, or where or were....:tsk:

AHA!!! That explains it! Wow, gresch, that must be your longest rant yet! :D

In all seriousness, though, congrats on the quitting smoking thing. Best of luck. :thumbup:

Juan

when have I ranted? :dunno:

OK, so... maybe "rant" was the wrong word choice... Who cares. It's all in good fun, man. :)

rant implies i'm a lunatic, when clearly, i'm just crazy LOL! :) :) :thumbup:

lol :bustingup

Huh? I thought it was i that needed an attutude adjustment? Or it it me, or thou? Oh Oh guess I better be careful. Don't wanna get on somebody's last nerve ya know! :bustingup

HAHAHA! Oh my gosh, I was cracking up reading these! I have so many...but you know what...I can't think of them right now! Here are a few off the top of my head:

1. People who are the first car in the left turn lane (the one with the arrow light) and don't move on the sensor and end up missing the cycle because the "light" didn't know they were there.

2. People who do not know the difference between your you're, their they're there, or to too two. Didn't we learn this in elementary school, people?

3. People who say mine's. Example: "I have that same shirt, but mine's is yellow."

4. People who end a question or sentence with "at."

5. Grammatical errors (like 2, 3, and 4 didn't clue you in on that one!)

(Isn't it funny how all of our pet peeves are about other people?)

oh boy.. haha..

1) Stupid questions
2) Stupid people who ask stupid questions
3) Drivers who do not look
4) Drivers who take up 2 lanes
5) Dishonest people
6) lazy people
7) stupid people who knows nothing about the topic they speak of but tries to sound smart anyway.
8) People who ask me how much I make
9) Outlaws (aka inlaws)
10) chinese parents (because they are always nagging about something)
11) Excess population
a) those who blame others for their well being (ie New Orleans mayor and population complaing about FEMA)
b) Extreme right wing
c) Extreme left wing
d) Gavin Newsome
e) Tree Huggers
f) Rush Limbaugh
g) France (just kidding!!!)
h) Cindy Sheehan
12) Parking lot stalkers
13) Cheap bastards who try to nickel and dime the world
14) Corporate politics
15) Spineless people

I couldn't agree more with all of you! We have gotta be the smartest internet bunch around! And with the most common sense (cents, since!!!)!

DON'T SLAM MY CAR DOOR! No matter how many times I say it, they still do it. Yeah I know you "didn't do it on purpose." But WTF?!?! You say that everytime!! Just close my car door a little softer next time. And a little softer still after that! Find the sweet spot, the quiet spot when closing my car door. JEEZ!!!

#16 Why it takes so long to finish the Bay Bridge

OH MY GOSH!! Slamming my car door! Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up everytime someone does it!

Solid list. :thumbup:

but add:
- People who brush the buttons or zippers on their jacket up against your car in an effort to open their door.
- Any truck on the highway hauling tar.
- Any dump truck hauling gravel that doesn't quite seal their tailgate.
- The car on the highway that feels driving 70 in the 65 was too slow even though there is a line of cars as long as the Great Wall of China in front of you, and feels that riding your bumper will solve this issue.

Consider yourself lucky that you don't live or work in NYC or Boston... the construction is never ending. The Long Island Expressway has been under constant construction for about 20 years and Boston? 3 words about Boson.... THE BIG DIG. 'nuf said....

LOL! short memory buddy...

LOL

when? :dunno:

- People who come to a stop on the interstate to rubber-neck any kind of flashing light incident in the opposing lanes

- Jackasses that insist on leaning on my car after the game while drinking a beer so as not to run the risk of putting an ass scratch in their '84 Ford Aerostar mini van. (true story... nearly blew my lid).

People who are late....
Slow drivers in the fast lane
Riding with terrible drivers.....

Thought of another one...

Kids (or adults) throwing a football in a parking lot (or around parked cars)!

EXACTLY my biggest three pet peeves right there... Couldn't agree more. :thumbup:

By the way... I've been reading this thread for the last couple of days. And I thought I had some issues! You guys make me look sane! :bustingup

Juan

sounds like TAILGATING (as in PRE-GAME PAR-TEY) to me.... in which case the ball hittin the car is usually the least of ur worries..... How about drunks leaving their empty beer bottles on ur X on the way into the game (happens almost every game i go to).

Great thread B! My pet peeves are...
1. People who slam the rear hatch on the X after I told them that it will lock automatically, they just need to close it lightly.
2. Drivers who don't move out of your way when you're in the fast lane and there is no other car in the other lane.(particularly on the drive to and from Vegas)
3. Here in Cali, we have the these LED signs on the freeway that display traffic info, traffic safety, and Amber Alerts. I can understand slowing down to read Amber Alerts, but you can tell from a distance whether it's an Amber Alert or traffic info, and I hate it when drivers brake hard and slow to 40mph just so they can read a sign that says, "10 minutes to Downtown."
4. When drivers brake to slow down when all they need to do is let off the gas or stop tailgating.

How about teenagers who act like they are so "in love" they have to walk around entangled?

People who get on the motorized people mover in airports (supposed to be for old/disabled) just because they are lazy!

People reclining their seats in front of you, in the "sardine section" of the airplane.

People who insist on pressing their elevator button, for the same floor as you, right after you pressed it.

Doesn't that make it go faster? :)

Women who are sitting in front of you who keep tossin their hair about. Makes you feel like they have cooties.

People who respond to X5World threads and miss the point. (HAHA me!!!)

:rofl: Tell me about it! Hasnt anyone told these kids theres a 70% divorce rate in the US? Get a move on! :bustingup :rofl: ..That was tasteless, I know...

BTW, I thought this thread would give me a closer look into each members personality..All it's really done is make me an angrier person! :rofl: I yelled at my wife this morning for slamming the X door, and I didnt even care...I just wanted to get mad! :bustingup LMAO!!

And yes, some of YOU GUYS have issues indeed...My ATM gripe was perfectly valid, and should easily warrant at least one night in prison.... :rofl:

Actually it gives you a closer look and mankind in general. Guess what? We are not done yet.

#1 What gets me is when someone blows his or her nose at the dinner table.

#2 People who dont wash their hands after using the toilet

#3 Individuals who's vocabulary comprises of little more than curse words.

#4 Women who talk but never get to the point. ( Shakey ground I know)

#5 People who fart in an elevator and leave. Then others get on and think you did it.

#6 People who use long high sounding words but don't know what they mean.

#7 Supposedly intelligent men who make crappy decision that affect everyone.

#8 People who send Urban legend E-mail messages and chain letters.

uh oh...

uh oh...

The Bushman?? George of the Jungle

Here's a new one...
 

Driving in the left lane on the way home on new year's morning, below the speed limit, with a girl puking out the passengers window all over your X3! Needless to say I had to hit the car wash on the way home... :explode:

I mean, geez... Any respectable person would have at least pulled over to let their passenger "take care of business" :rolleyes:

Oh my gosh, how gross!!!

sorry this needed to be bumped.


carry on.

:wow: Just when you thought an issue was dead and gone.
Did you want to add to the list???

let's just say that people need to be reminded of post #29.




carry on.

Oh boy! this is from before my time
where shall I begin :)
1) Tourists. Especially from MA or NY who think they are superior to me because Maine because is a "poor" state. OR Quebec. Because even though they speak perfect english, they have to ask "you speak french?" 91 times before doing anything
2) Hybrid Drivers
3) PDA
4) Fattys who give me the evil eye for "taking up the road" while running
5) Tahoe Drivers
6) Women who think that desperate housewives is written about them, and them only, when it is definately not
7) The Unmarked Mustangs on the Maine Turnpike

9) 16 year old kids who think they're badass as shit, and wanna race you every time they see your badge
10) Revenue Traps, government waste (Idling V8's behind billboards) and the Screwsbury MA Police Dept, who now hides behind a gas sign and pops out with a lidar gun and a big dumb grin
11) PC/Thought Police
12) Ecomentalists. Because they are better than you in every way because they drive a tinbox car that gets 40MPG and eat granola 5 times a day.
13) Whiny moms who make a point of going 5 under the limit in their Siennas, hang childrens clothing from their mailbox to deter going 35 on a secondary through road, order "your speed is" signs, spray paint the speed limit in the road
14) NH Toll
15) How every x5world meet is within 7 days of me being there anyways, so I can't go twice :(

21) How no dealer will stock a car with a manual transmission. OR sport package.
22) Classic 24-Hour Road Hazard and Replacement being closed from 4 PM on Friday to 9 AM on Monday.
23) Handbag Dogs

I think thats all that is really-- oh wait

24) Badgewhores :)

Why don't you and let's just spit it out. We're among friends.
Other wise as you say............carry on :rofl:

"#7 Supposedly intelligent men who make crappy decision that affect everyone."

we've had a word for this everywhere I've ever worked, I think its worldwide... MANAGER!

I just really hate the complete lack of common sense, common knowledge, common courtesy and logical thinking by almost anyone you come into contact with. When did people get so dumb?

When they got their "Business Degree" :rolleyes:

I think a lot of these 'alleged' college graduates (but not all of them) believe because they have that piece little of piece of paper to hang on the wall it means they're 'smart'. If you need an example I'll gladly introduce you to the sales staff where I work... :rofl:

At work:
1. People who don't replace the empty hand towel rolls with new ones (especially since the storage closet with the paper towels is 2 feet away-open the door and get a new roll, dammit).

2. People who ask me "Why is my internet slow?" referring to how long the web page they're trying to get to is loading, proceed to get up from their chairs, and wait for me to 'fix it'.

3. People who call my cell phone and say "I'm really sorry for bothering you on a weekend/day-off/off-duty... ". No you're not, if you were sorry, you wouldn't call... What's even worse is when the conversation ends and the persons admit that it wasn't important and could've waited until Monday(next work day).

4. People who call and say "I JUST sent you an email..." or "I'm sending you an email..." and proceed to tell you what the email contents are.

Driving:
1. People who don't use their turn signals, EVER. (I happens in Korea ALOT. Instead of using their turn signals, they poke their hands out of their window, make eye contact, give a little wave, and bow. WTF!?)

2. People who drive to the end of an exit ramp and cut in. Oblivious to the fact that there's 50 cars waiting to get off the highway. Yeah, you didn't see the sign for the exit a mile back, pal?

3. In bumper-to-bumper traffic, people who switch lanes numerous times trying to get ahead and finally end up behind me when all they had to do was stay in front of me.

4. People who stop at a redlight ON the crosswalk.

5. Random braking (no, I don't tailgate). I'm talking about the people who accelerate, realize they're over the speed limit and hit their brakes (not lightly, since you see their cars nosedive). Take your foot off the gas, trust me the car will eventually slow down.

Gym:
1. Guys who take two sets of dumbells, one for their warmup and the other for their actual sets, and KEEP THEM until they're done with their sets.

2. MOST GYMS LET YOU USE CLEAN TOWELS FOR FREE!!!! USE A DAMN TOWEL TO WIPE YOUR SWEAT OFF THE EQUIPMENT!!! Nothing worse than walking up to the flat bench only to see the last guy's head, back, and ass sweat still on it.

3. People who grunt loud. Buddy, if it's that hard, you may wanna back it off just a tad, before you break/tear/pop something.

Out & About:
1. Strangers who jump into your conversations without saying "Excuse me...". i.e., a friend of mine was asking me if an ad on a billboard for a computer was worth the $300 asking price. I said "it might be worth it for just the monitor". Guy behinds us jumps in "It's a CRT. That thing is a boat anchor". I simply said, "Yeah".
Guy walks away and I tell my friend, "This Sony 19" CRT retailed for about $1700 about 4 years ago. Since you use p-shop a lot, you may wanna give this guy a call."

You know who I fucking hate.

I hate stupid fucking parents who take their young, screaming kids, to a Saturday night, 10:20pm movie. And then let their kids scream in my ear for the entire length of the film. And I don't give a shit if the movie is Wall*E. It's 10:20, on a Saturday night, not a Monday afternoon Matinee. Your kids don't belong in the theater. You can't afford a baby sitter, FUCK YOU! Stay home and watch THE INCREDIBLES, it's on DVD.

You know who else I hate. Stupid shit-head tourists who stop me, regardless of what I'm doing, to ask me how they get to the HOLLYWOOD sign. "Listen dumbass, you can't get to the Hollywood sign, it's inaccessible. There is no road you can take, there is no magic secret elevator ride or tram and to be honest, there's nothing to see. It's a god-damn fucking sign that says, HOLLYWOOD, nothing else, nothing more. Now move your stupid Hertz mini-van out of the middle of my street before I run your ugly kids over, I have to get to work and you're obviously in the way. - And no, I can't get out of my car to take a picture of your family, you're blocking traffic."

Taking deep breaths and counting backwards from 10 now... LOL..

Oh, and I hate people who think they need to scream louder for me to hear them in a loud environment. That just hurts my ears. Talk softly and I will be able to hear you.

And I hate people who are rude to my wife at her retail job. She works hard, long hours, weekends, holidays, when she's sick, etc. and she deserves more respect. - You don't have your receipt and you wore the shoes you want to return, SORRY, it's against store policy. Trying to guesstimate her hourly salary and stating, "I make $1000 an hour and you make $6 a week" is just fucking obnoxious. And if you do make $1000 an hour, why are you wasting 45 minutes trying to return a $100 pair of shoes?

I'd also like to add:
Stupid ass tourists who flick their lit cigarette butt's out the window in my neighborhood. Don't you realize we haven't had rain in 360 days? Can't you see how dry EVERYTHING is. Don't you watch the news and have any fucking clue about SoCal. wild fires? How about I come to your neighborhood, douse your house with some gasoline and bake some Smores over an open fire on your front lawn, inches from where your kids sleep. How'd you like that?

LOL, at that rate, the person makes $2M a year, and they're worried about a pair of shoes that cost a $100... some people...:dunno:

:rofl: You just earned a prescription for medical

http://streetknowledge.files.wordpre...arijuana11.jpg

I personally don't smoke but I do live in Northern California and have friends.

The funny thing is MLB, despite the general assumption that I'm a smoker, I'n reality, I'm not.

It's a rare, rare, rare occasion that I ever partake in the puff. While I used to enjoy it, about 10 years ago, I started to suffer from the dreaded, marijuana paranoia. It gives me anxiety and makes me shake like I'm having a panic attack.

But I still believe it should be legal.

Been about that long for me as well...Just can't function in this fast paced society when you're stoned.

I'm for Legal with some restrictions for the sake of the kids.

Agreed!

21 to drink, 21 to smoke. And no smoking and driving. No smoking in public places. No smoking if you drive buses, fly planes, operate heavy machinery, etc.

Just thought of another:

Guys that tell me they're working out and running but "can't" seem to lose the spare tire around their belly. They say this to me while shoving a BK Double Whopper with cheese extra mayo and ketchup between their lips with "GO LARGE" chicken fries and a Coke.

I'm sitting across from them with a (homemade) grilled chicken salad w/ italian dressing, a big bottle of water, and an apple.

Dude, if we ever meet face to face, I'm going to snap you in half like a dry twig... :stickpoke Then I'm going to choke you with your chicken salad and laugh as I steal whatever cash is in your wallet (while grunting...) LOL..

LOL... bring it on, fatty...

:kungfu: watah!

My Peeve...

DRIVING 55-70 IN THE F*cking fast lane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

24) vanity plates. Especially with French on them

My #1 pet peeve.. Fat guys that are in a club that think they are the shit because they tan twice a day, have a Jersey Blow-Out(Gotti Hair style) and wear wristbands for some unknown reason, (well I guess the reason could be they sweat profusely but wont wipe their fat forehead on them cause they match the reast of their outfit and they payed $8 for it) Also they are the same slobs that are at the gym on their cell phones making plans to go to the bar afterward but yet they complain about not being able to lose weight, well maybe it's because you have never been on the treadmill or get's his protein from a McDonalds burger and only drink's light beer. Your not the shit Fat Boy your about as cool as cancer, Get off the phone and get on a diet!!!

Intelligent people who don't seem to realize that using vulgarities or obscenities in public reflects on them. It is crass, crude, and coarse. It shows that they have no taste, no class, and no respect for others.

People who put their stinky feet on top of dashboards
and same people who does not say "hello" when you say "hello", how hard is that to say?

Pet Peeves
 

OK, you happy now? I can't get that grammar peeve out of my head.:banghead:

Your
you're
you are

There
Their

Huh, you happy now? huh? huh?

Stupid conjunctions, commas, etc. WHat happened to the good old days when the internet was supposed to be free form?

Where's Gresch? You want to push Gresch over the edge, use lose instead of loose.

your going two get in there business like that? Wear do you get off thinking your better than I? I could care less.


:rofl: :thud:

I have one to add that has been driving me nuts ever since I moved back to my hometown and travel with my sister more often:

To adjust the temperature in her car, my she keeps the temperature setting on the coldest possible setting and adjusts the fan speed when she is too hot or too cold.

I don't know how many times I have told her that if she sets it to the desired temperature JUST LIKE HER HOUSE then she would rarely have to touch it. She doesn't get it and refuses to try it. Her car has dual zone heating/ac in the front, but it is absolutely pointless to use when she is adjusting the fan speed. :banghead:

they're you go!

I seen this thread before :(

OMG :bustingup

stop sucking up :)

or you SAW this thread before

you can borrow Barry's copy of Hooked on Phonics when he's done with it :)

:gun: :gun: :gun: :doh: :doh:

I want everyone to know how to annoy you. You're a funny guy when have your boxers in a wad. :rofl:

Grr, there's a middle aged guy there EVERY NIGHT who practically whistles (breathes through his gap) every time he lifts a finger.

My gym closing at 10, and being overrun by 11 year olds who sneak in after the staff goes home bugs me too.

You know what else I hate.... People who ask me if my dog is a Poodle or a Doodle for that matter..
This is a poodle:

Fantastic thread! :)

BRAKING ON THE HIGHWAY.

For the love of God, you braking in front of me in traffic makes me brake, which makes everyone behind me brake, which makes the traffic go even slower. Just let off the gas you simpleton!

PEOPLE WHO TALK FOR YOU.

Does it ever annoy you when someone "adds you into" a conversation by saying, "Well Jonny here has a brother who was in Thailand two years ago..." I don't care to tell stories now, thank you very much!

PEOPLE WHO MAKE THEIR OWN PARKING SPACES.

Hey man, you may drive an S-Class so you are inherently superior, but if there are no spaces, you still don't park there. Y'know what? It's not my problem, he gets the ticket.

I have a new one:

Women.





carry on.

Classic!

LOL.. This thread is a blast from the past..

I just want back and re-read all my pet peeves.. Funny thing is, I still feel the same way. Though I do want to apologize to Barry for my use of vulgarity despite the fact that it's freaking funny...
I guess I have a little too much George Carlin in my blood.

"Good lord"

I saw the title and wondered "what in the world"......
Blast from the past for sure. While I'm here here's
another story.

I'm in the slow lane on the freeway about to exit behind
a Prius that's going a bit slow and the exit is a ways down
the road. So I make it around her with plenty of room
to spare and I exit the freeway with the intent of making
a left turn at the light.

Girlfriend arrives at the light a few seconds later
2 lanes over to the right shaking her fist and yelling
something green i'm sure.

Not sure what her problem was but everyone in the car
got a kick out of her. Maybe it was the BMW Prius culture
war. But at least she didn't cut me off.

Bunch of savages out there...



(still my favorite Clerks quote)

I am on a highway in the slow lane going extra slow because of a Prius in front of me, I just live with it since the exit is coming up.

We both exit on to the next highway, I move into the fast lane but the Prius cuts me off and then proceeds to drive slow for the next mile or two until I could get around her. I really think that the intent of the Pruis was to make everyone drive the post limit of 50.

That and the cars have trouble breaking 50 without the engine screaming for mercy anyways, they don't run that strong.

Blast from the past is right. Damn I was a whiny bitch.

Gresch is on the money, but besides that, now my only real pet peeves are dixie flag stickers and people who don't wave back when I am running. :dunno:

It's bump day as per Laura.... sooooooo enjoy.

People who drive slower than I do and people who drive faster than I do. :D

And both groups are a$$holes :)

Mac fanatics :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Windows fanboys! :bustingup

Awww, he does pay attention to me :luv: :bustingup

OMG! It's so true...:rofl: Good one. :thumbup:

People who do not flush

People who CC their e-mails to people who have nothing to do with the task at hand.

Was? :rofl: :stickpoke

Hi Meiac! I can do coffee this weekend! Too bad we are both gonna be SNOWED IN! Florida is better, Nescafe?

2 new ones:

First responders in a thread quoting the OP: You're the first responder, we all know who you're talking to :)

Brakes stop your vehicle, not breaks. :rolleyes:

1. Red indicator signals on cars, especially when they're acting as both brake and indicator. Amber only please.

2. Folks who don't use what's easily available to them. For example, the dumb folks out there that don't use Bluetooth in their Bluetooth-equipped Bimmers. Or the folks using a Garmin attached on top of their 7er. !ouch:

3. The uppity, self-righteous old ladies of rural Virginia, that flash their headlights in anger and make rude gestures if you so much as drive 0,0005mph over the speed limit. One of them actually went to the trouble of blocking my way once and telling me to slow down. As payback, I enjoy overtaking them on one-lane highways. :thebird:

4. Improper grammar, especially on road signs. It's supposed to be " Reduce speed ahead" without the extra "d".

5. Multi-lane rural divided highways without controlled access.

I have one: How about people using the European comma instead of the American decimal point? :stickpoke

- Drivers who flick burning cigarettes out of their car window at highway speeds while you're driving behind them. This should be subject to instant death penalty. By hanging.

-Commercials on TV that are purposefully 10 dB louder than the program you happen to be watching. THIS IS EQUIVALENT TO SOMEONE TYPING IN ALL CAPS. Guess what, now you've ticked me off enough that I'm going to mute your ass and not even care what you're advertising.

-A teen ricer thug zig-zagging through 4 lanes at 95 mph. In a tinted Honda Civic with a coffee can exhaust. Yeah dude, you da Man! Now, repeat after me: "Hello, my name is Dipshit."

:nanana: It's a good thing you don't great my math or Econ problem sets then.

I had a TA from Chile and he used commas/decimal points as I do as well. In fact I didn't notice it until he pointed it out in class and changed things around to match US standards.

Or grade your English papers, either. ;)

MM, Maybe that's "grade" in metric...:D
When are you flexing to the US Speak version?! ;)

Oh and lets not forget;

"You're not going to be kicking my seat all the way to Las Vegas are you".:rolleyes:

People who block the diesel pump by not pulling up, because they have no clue that someone might actually want to pump diesel.


carry on.

On that note don't cha just love people who pull up to a convince store pump, lock their car, then go inside The store, do all their grocery shopping, then buy lottery tickets?

People who can't pronounce "Aluminium" correctly.
