Posted: 8/19/2009 8:35:34 AM | I've got a Dozen....
but I'll limit this entry to three....
1.) How can Tiger Woods be "The #1 ranked golfer in the world" when he didn't win ONE major, this year...???
In fact...the 5 players that DID win those majors
{including The Players Championship [which every player considers to be a major]}
were NOT ranked as "#1" after WINNING said majors.....???
2.) The automotive 'Bail-Out'....
How can the government Give the auto makers _$Billions$_ because they whine about 'losing money' when every car-maker in existence spends _$Billions$_ in
~ADVERTISING~....??!!
Not to mention how bloody over-priced their products are...to _Support_
their Advertising Budget...!!!
3.) Car Insurance Commercials....
Insurance premiums are paid so that in the case of an accident, their company can pay the repair shops to repair the damages...and in some cases...the Other guys damages, too....
NOT to support the insurance companys *Advertising Budget*...!!!
I mean REALLY...!!! The same ad...aired on 30 or 40 or 50 TV stations
4 or 5 or 6 times an hour {even More during sporting events}
12 hours a day
I would  LOVE to get together a few thousand {or ALL} GEICO policy holders
and file a Class Action Lawsuit against their company for 'Misuse of their clients Premiums'...!!!
That'd snap the tail off that miserable little British lizard, wouldn't it...??!! | |

Posted: 9/28/2009 12:37:49 PM | I was going to start a new thread about this, but came across this one courtesy our friendly neighborhood search feature.
1) Bad spelling. - No, not just "online" as everyone tends to make more mistakes online. I'm talking about all around poor spelling. It really irks me when high school and college graduates cannot spell words that they should have learned in grade school. Now, as it relates to POF, I am finding that it is a turn off for me when I see bad spelling on a profile. Come on people, learn to spell!!
2) Poor Hygiene - Self explanatory, but in my opinion a daily bath or shower shouldn't be too difficult. If you are doing any physical work during the day, then make it a 2 shower minimum. | |

Posted: 9/30/2009 12:32:43 AM | A lot of you said you hate when people can't control their kids in public places. My kid is 3 and does scream and though fits. Little kids get frustrated easy and don’t know how to deal with it. GET OVER IT!!
What do you want me to do?, lock him up and not let him go anywhere just because some of you hate kids? That will teach him how to act in public, or do you want me smack him and scream at him to shut the hell up?
Sure I could just tell him that if he doesn’t stop crying then he’ll have to go home and yeah that does work but if I am at a grocery store buying food and he wants something I said no to, I am not about to just walk out with out the food that we need. And I am not going to get a baby sitter all the time either, you have any idea how much that would cost to do every week? Ignore him when he freaks out and I can’t take home. That way he learns his actions don’t get him the results he wants and sees there is no point to freaking out.
And for some of you, your pet peeves are stupid. Your not prefect and you do things that bug other people too. Don’t focus on other people faults unless you want to focus on your own.
My biggest pet peeve are people that think they are better then everyone else. | |

Posted: 10/21/2009 8:13:10 PM | I am lately being quite irritated by the fake eating on comercials--I mean, jeez, take a damn bite of that hamburger. Do they REALLY think we don't see they're NOT actually eating the burger?! They fakily "chew" with their lips closed and it just for some odd reason PISSES ME OFF!!
"And for some of you, your pet peeves are stupid."
I know it, leave me alone.
==============
What do you want me to do?
I want you to remove your child from public areas when he's misbehaving, sit him in a corner, and explain to him that that sort of behavior will result in his sitting in the corner each and every time he does it, until he behaves properly. I want you to be consistent with the discipline you give your child, and I want you to act like the adult and take charge of that situation. | |

I'm gonna be really snippy here: I think the whole concept of pet peeves is stupid. So There!
Just gives people a chance to gripe about stuff nobody else cares about. And yes, I'm griping and being contridictory.  | |

Karaoke bars that only play country music.
Halloween stuff at Walmart.
Atomic Fireballs that aren't hot enough.
The word "Snippy."
Wizards Of The Coast not putting out an all black set of Magic The Gathering cards.

Like I had nothing better to do with my day than to wait for him for hours! | |

One huge pet peeve from POF Forums is the constant stereotyping. ALL men are pigs, all men are cheaters, etc etc. | |

A man wearing a tutu.
Poop flavored ice cream.
Ice cubes. Why not round or triangled?
Fake Plather
Paper towels with images printed on them.
Brown picture frames.
Head stones you can read the names of.
Kinetico water softners.
People who buy fake vampire teeth... and don't have any in the first place.

Feel better getting that off my chest!!!

Posted: 11/15/2009 4:14:47 PM | I have a few but most recently noted in the forums that otherwise seemingly intelligent people are using 'of' instead of 'have' as in "would've" now becomes 'would of', 'should of' <img src=http://www.plentyoffish.com/smiles/icon_201.gif border=0> <img src=http://www.plentyoffish.com/smiles/icon_201.gif border=0> I don't know if it annoys me more than people slowing down to turn prior to activating their turn signals and people dragging their feet or slamming them on cardio equipment at the gym.
As far as loud chewing of gum, I actually asked a guy on the subway if he could stop. Am I losing it?? In my defense, it was crowded and I had nowhere to go to escape the noise. | |

Posted: 11/15/2009 8:10:11 PM | | Much bigger than a pet peeve, but the Wall St. bailouts infuriated me and I still haven't gotten over it, and probably never will. In terms of stupidity and unfairness, nothing could possibly top the bailouts. | |

Posted: 11/15/2009 8:57:43 PM | People who insist on using their cell phone while in a public restroom. I mean, WTF?!?
People who text during dates when it's not an emergency nor a business matter. RUDE.
People like msg 404 who don't teach their kids what is acceptable behavior in public places, by disciplining with firmness and consistency. If a cat or dog can understand that training, so can a three-year-old.
Whining by anyone - kids or adults.
People who love to complain about everything, but do nothing about the things that they can control (including their own attitude). | |

Posted: 11/15/2009 10:34:49 PM | 1. When a date texts in front of me while on a date with me constantly with his exgf.
2. When a date flirts constantly with the waitress who serves us.
3. When people go shopping without means to pay the cashier.(Unless its not busy)
4. Littering.
5.Getting sneezed on(literally feeling the spit off the person) without even an apology. When there were other directions for them to turn their head or for them to sneeze into their sleeve.
6.Getting locked out when I forget my keys.
7.When people freak out at those trying to help them out whether it be hospitality or retail or service industry it sucks to watch them yell at the worker making their day worse.
8.Those type of people who think they are better than everyone else because they think they are untouchable or whatever problems another person has "Could never happen to them". Heaven forbid because they're holier than thou...and make fun of those who aren't perfect... but we all know how perfect THEY are. Besides being a @sshole right?
9.People who lose Bank Cards, Mastercards,VISAs etc. and don't have the brains to use telephone banking to cancel bank cards on holidays. Instead they like to blame whoever is at the cash register holding up the line to blame the cashier. Those people astound me how stupid they can be. Even after the cashier mentioned such a route to them when they couldn't find their card...
10. Being too early or too late
11. Slushy snow, and ice i don't see
12.Power outages | |
