I have to say that one of my pet peeves on here is that so many photos are SIDEWAYS. I usually will not take the time to rotate my head if a guy is not smart enought to figure out how to rotate a picture. This is one of the most basic things to be able to do on a computer, or just ASK somebody, or even turn the camera and take another picture and use that one. Sheesh.

Maybe that's their method of weeding out people. Pet peeves will die if you don't feed them, maybe they like to feed them so the pet grows up, grows strong, runs amok, and savages their owner.
Maybe they do it to get attention, I mean the photos of everyone else are right side up, so be different, stick out, get more profile views.
Maybe they have some sort of condition where their head grew sideways.
Maybe they had to pawn their computer desk to afford the premium membership so have to lay down in front of the camera on their laptop.
Maybe they were taking pictures with their friends and one guy though it would be funny to kick the guys legs out and the picture was taken while he was in mid air.
Maybe a sideways picture is like an online gang sign, all the hand signs were taken.
Maybe their photo is right side up, you just have an inner ear infection or something.

It could have been a weather condition. As they were posting their picture, a wind came by and knock the picture on its side.

My suspicion (being as I am thus prone) is that some of them are purposely posting sideways pictures to sabotage the ease with which we can check through Google Reverse Image lookup or TinEye, and confirm that they are, in fact, posting a lie of a profile.

The badly cropped ones don't bother me as much, because it took me a while to figure out how to do that trick.

Problems solved. And.... why was it a problem for you anyway? You've saved .002 seconds of your life not rotating your head!

Then, I guess the problem is that you are frustrated by hot guys who have sideways photos, since otherwise, you wouldn't care.

Who cares really? Pass them by and find someone who matches what you want (which after reading your profile might be somewhat difficult).

I wonder how many guys pass on a photo that is poorly lit with no contrast?

Am I addressing the blacked out pic or the talking tree here?

Can't say peoples pics bother me unless kids are in them.

I'll take Pet Peeves for $200 windchymes.

When I was still looking my pet peeves were the profiles without pictures, but you have to have a picture to contact them. This was closely followed by the shirtless pic. Some guys look great without their shirts. Some... well, the image occasionally haunts me.

I have actually contacted several men with sideways pics and told them how to use Paint or Irfan view to rotate them. They all confessed computer illiteracy--I doubt that they understood my directions.

A pet peeve of mine is when really unintelligent people actually think you have a pet named peeve.
