| What are your pet peeves...... Posted: 12/16/2008 12:20:15 AM |
When people loosely use the words "retard" and "gay" in derogatory fashions. I love using homophobic words.....instead of calling something lame I like to call it gay, or homo, or shit stabbish...Im not a homophobe believe me. Thats just funny to me. I cant stand the "holier than thou" attitude. Or any religon derived in the middle east for that matter  | |

| all of the abve and Posted: 12/16/2008 7:09:49 AM | - It didn't bother me that much until I started using this site but people who insist on using 'text speak' even when they are well into their 30s. It is not a good impression and a complete turn off.

| What are your pet peeves...... Posted: 12/16/2008 2:04:46 PM | 1. Emoticons. Especially when messages are peppered with them to the point of annoyance. Their day has come and gone; the novelty has worn off. Used as shortcuts for expressing coherent thoughts and feelings through writing, they rob us of our creativity. And they seem to be multiplying... Look; now to my right... There they are.. Mocking me..
2. Cell Phones that do anything beyond just making phone calls. 'Nuff said... | |

| What are your pet peeves...... Posted: 12/16/2008 3:03:22 PM | People who refuse to use some semblance of proper grammar. It should be hardwired into you, folks! People that can't tell the difference between "there", "their", and "they're", or "your" and "you're". People that give any value to their racial heritage. It's basically just another form of racism. People that look down on you for not listening to music. Zealots. The idea that blond hair, big tits, bad (see: any) tans, and tiny clothes is somehow the epitome of what is attractive. Ugh. Hypocrites. People that don't like dogs. People that are offended by swearing. They're just words, people. People that hate rap and can't explain why. (I don't love it, myself, but I don't have a problem with it.) People that claim they want to quit smoking, then they don't. Hunters, especially anyone that does it "for the sport of it". People that don't speak their native tongue well. There's no excuse for doing something your entire life and still sucking at it. Adults that never learned to read. It's just pathetic. People that call anything remotely emotional "drama". Liars. Potheads that consider themselves superior just because they smoke pot. (I've known a couple.) Patriots that say that "anyone who isn't a patriot can just leave". (I don't care what country you're from, being born somewhere doesn't mean you have to like it.) The presently accepted sociopolitical paradigm. Suck-ups. People that name their kids after themselves. That Cadbury Creme Eggs aren't available year-round. (They're delicious, and you know it!) People that don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom. Strict laws regarding physical conflict. (You can't tell me you've never wanted to slap someone.) People that stand right outside the entrances to stores and smoke. (I don't want to have to breath that crap.) | |

| What are your pet peeves...... Posted: 12/16/2008 6:01:19 PM | ^^^^^^ Love the laundry list! Especially the Cadbury Creme Eggs, not being required to like the country in which you're born, and people who name kids after themselves--the only reason for getting off with that one is that you come from a family so wealthy they have to be political and name kids' first names with the last name of the matron's side.
I would, however, like to encourage you to provide more details about this:
The presently accepted sociopolitical paradigm. I may (or may not) have found a simpatico. | |

| What are your pet peeves...... Posted: 12/16/2008 8:09:08 PM | | Oh. I was just complaining about government. Specifically, every form of government I've read about and remember. I've gone on rants about it before, and about how "things would be better if...", but I know I wouldn't be able to come up with a viable solution. Way things are doesn't really work out for anyone in the long run, though. (I am not saying that everyone's life is crap, just that there are a lot of problems people seem to just ignore because addressing them would be difficult. You know, over-population, world hunger, rampant idiocy... That sort of thing.) | |

| What are your pet peeves...... Posted: 12/23/2008 2:08:12 PM | Hearing about the ex-wife on the first date Nose picking belching My date discussing how great he feels after he's done #1 or #2. TMI Talking about money and politics over meals tickling guys who wear a ratty baseball cap, and ratty clothes for dates. Its not sexy. reality television and my real pet peeve (lol) why can't my cat empty out his own treasures from the catbox? If he really loved me, he'd do it. lol. | |

| What are your pet peeves...... Posted: 12/23/2008 2:16:24 PM | When someone says ''Tell me about yourself''. If you want to know something then ask
People who impose their bad mood on others. If you're acting like a baby throwing a tantrum then stay home!
Bad breath you can smell a foot away
Hairy nostrils

| What are your pet peeves...... Posted: 12/23/2008 2:37:26 PM | ^^^^^ There are "treatments" for the hairy nostrils, btw.
The latest "verbal tick" I've noticed here at work and whenever the "suits" appear from D.C....they cannot for the lives of themselves say "in the future." Instead, they come up with the phrase "going fo'ward," which they say far too often within a paragraph. | |

| What are your pet peeves...... Posted: 12/23/2008 8:24:09 PM | 1.Big pet peeve is when the radio meteorologists give the weather as if the world is coming to an end and they start getting over excited and start speaking in a higher and higher voice pitch. 2. Radio talk show hosts that get over excited. See #1 above plus add they tend to start shrieking after a while. 3. Hearing the same top 20 songs loop over and over on a Top 100 radio station. 4. Chain emails 5. Other people talking really loud on a cell phone conversation while dining out. I like to turn around and politely stare and stare and stare until they lower their voice. 6. Peeps that always have a stomach ache when extra work is to be done. 7. Peeps that say, "You can depend on me to be at the party" and never show up. 8. When the dentist asks me a question while my mouth has enough hardware in it to build a small car. 9. Peeps that never seem to have money to pay for their lunch but have enough money in tatto's to feed a 3rd world country for a month. 10. Standing in line at the check out, your next in line, and the clerk turns the OFF light on. | |

| What are your pet peeves...... Posted: 12/23/2008 8:58:12 PM | couple ones I forgot.
ppl who stare at me, while I am not staring at them alerting my instinct of someone staring at me, which makes me stare at them.
ppl who talk to you one day the next day they have no clue who u r.
girls who can't have conversation with guys in public without thinking they are being hit on.
girls who take kindness as being hit on.
ppl who act tough in driving by vehicles.
ppl who break up with ppl then cry about breaking up with them | |

| What are your pet peeves...... Posted: 12/24/2008 4:54:28 AM | Goodtimer that was a great one. Society is so bent now as you said.
I can't just be nice to a good looking girl without them think i am trying to get them in bed. I don't dare smile or make children giggle in stores even if they are in their parents arms because it automaticly makes me a wacko.
So i guess that makes my pet peeve the fact that the news media has everyone so uptight. Yea i hate the media they thrive on making bad news worse and ruining people's lives
Ohh i should'nt say it but the above post about the hairy nostrils. I suffer from hairy nostril bigfootitis. Those little 4 dolllar trimmers in any store that look like a bullet work great and are 100 percent painless. I have battled sasqatch since i was young and am glad to have found them! | |

| What are your pet peeves...... Posted: 12/24/2008 2:52:45 PM | As in things that piss me off for no really good reason: None... However, things that really push my buttons are:
1) Calling me a liar when I'm telling the truth. 2) Assuming I'm like your last girlfriend. 3) People who judge other people unfairly. 4) Pretending to know me when you don't. | |
|
| What are your pet peeves...... Posted: 12/24/2008 3:33:25 PM | #1. The "I, me, my, mine" mentality, meaning people who worship $$$$$. #2. Shallow people who judge others by appearance only. #3. People who say they've been everywhere and done everything. #4. Those who degrade and insult others just for fun. #5. Liars. #6. Thieves. #7. Anyone that would abuse an animal. #8. The rumor mill. #9. Politics in general. #10. Mindless, idiotic TV commercials. | |

| What are your pet peeves...... Posted: 3/18/2009 3:49:42 PM | Oh boy! Had to bump this thread up!
1) People who refuse to BCC people when they send out their email chain letters! I REALLY can appreciate a good forward, or otherwise delete it...but don't share my personal info with 50,000 others!
2) People who pop up on IM to talk...then DON'T. Usually they are multi-tasking, but for fvcks sake! I am a busy person as well!
3) People who waste a text with "K" or "O.K." There should be some minimum length requirement for texting, like there is for forum posting!
4) Hypocrites. Plain & Simple.
5) People that are so envious of others, that they can derive no pleasure from other's happiness and in fact, are miserable by such. Boo Hiss. Seek Psychiatric help.
6) Stereotyping. Young mom's. Ghetto. Trailer Trash. Black. White. Single. Married. Yuppie. Punk. Metalhead. Poor. Rich Snob. ALL of them and all others...lumping anyone into a "must be" category...ghetto!
I am quite sure I will be back!  | |
|
| What are your pet peeves...... Posted: 3/18/2009 5:07:45 PM | Speaking of chain emails, they are a BIG pet peeve of mine. I don't like them, period! I think it's intrusive of the sender to request that I pass the message on, and like even less the jerks who threaten me with bad luck for not forwarding something to someone else.
Spammers nuff said!! | |
|
| What are your pet peeves...... Posted: 3/18/2009 7:33:12 PM | The question, "What was your name?" (referring to my first name) It hasn't changed and don't have plans to change it. | |
|
| What are your pet peeves...... Posted: 3/20/2009 2:44:21 AM | Men who act like they're interested in getting to know you but when given the chance blow it big time.................... | |
|
| What are your pet peeves...... Posted: 3/20/2009 2:56:49 AM | Did I mention umbrellas under awnings?
WALK ON THE RAIN SIDE! I wear a HAT!
GRRRRRRRR.
Give me the awning and keep your umbrellas out of my face because I WILL body slam if you try to take my path. | |
