Biggest pet peeves

[Nate]

Unless I'm on a date, your a girl, or I'm in a generous and good mood. . . If it ain't one of the 3 requirements above

So it only needs to be one of the requirements? So if you're on a date with a dude, you'll pay for him then...your friends should be asking you out instead of asking to hang out, then.

[Momo-P]

So I'll just say parents who bring babies into movie theaters and restaurants. Look, I can understand that babies are too young to entrust to a babysitter sometimes but you know, maybe I want to eat my dinner or watch my movie without some kid crying at the top of his lungs.

Also kids kicking the back of your seat at movie theaters. Half the time you can't even say anything since it seems like the kid will either start it up again, or the parents will cast you some dirty look.

XD lol sorry I'll fix that, On a date with a person I have feelings for of the opposite gender. Thanks nate lol XD

Ohmygoshohmygosh I have another one.

"Hey, this doesn't have a price tag on it! Does that mean it's FREE??"

No sir, it does not mean it's free, nor does it mean that your joke was ever funny to any retail employee.

XDD Ah, retail. I will never, ever miss you. XD

[Roy Mustang]

@ Roy- Actually in this case, pet does not mean an animal as a pet.

The "pet" (in the sense of "favorite") formulation probably owes its popularity and longevity to its mild perversity ("favorite annoyance" is a bit oxymoronic) as well as its snappy alliteration

http://www.word-detective.com/060704.html

So it really means, your favorite annoyances. That doesn't make much sense at all, but I'd interpret it as the "things you would say that annoy you the most." You could call them badges of annoyment if you want because we often try to flaunt our own problems with the world when no one else will or when you find others can tolerate them usually well.

I may be reaching here, but that's how I see it.

[Tsukuyomi]

When your boiling a pot of water (for cooking) and someone comes along and turns down the heat so much that the flame is barely there :O

It's like, come on now, how is it supposed to boil? It'll take an hour for it to do so and I doubt water takes that long to boil!

When people ask you for money when they already have some o.O They only want yours so they don't have to spend theirs and has no intentions of paying you back D=

xDD

[Ante Bellum]

And that's why I like sitting in the very back of the theatre.
Also, because when I used to go to movies more, I would go with my guy friend and people from our school went to that theatre. See my first post.

I've heard the horror stories of what kids have done and their parents don't care or even think they're cute. Like, my bus driver drops our neighbors off at our driveway, amd even the oldest, in middle school, cried from falling. And they constantly fight.

(I never actually give out money unless I'm sure they'd pay me back. And now I'm careful about selling stuff because the last guy took almost a year to pay back. My friend had to threaten him to get it.)

You don't have to change it on my account. It's totally your business if you wanna hang out with a dude. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I mean, if you like dudes.

[Cloud500]

Mine are mostly hygiene related:

People who put non-food items in their mouth. That drives me crazy. That is one of the reasons that I don't borrow pencils from other people; for some reason everyone is inclined to stick them in their mouth.

When people lick their fingers after eating.
The napkins are getting lonely; they need to be used.

[Valkaiser]

[quote="Cloud500 (post: 1397093)"]When people lick their fingers after eating.

...but that's such a waste of delicious salt! Besides, napkins don't help much unless your fingers are already moist (though I also solve this by rubbing condensation off of my drinking glass).

Those that bug me are individuals that refuse to understand the importance of placement regarding individual ingredients, especially with sandwich type foods. Most notably heinous is when condiments are applied to the opposite side of the meat from the vegetables/garnishings... I mean, it takes me 5min before I can decide which side should be up!

[Tsukuyomi]

My biggest pet peeve is probably when people will start to tell you something and then they will stop part way and say "Nevermind I probably shouldn't tell you." It's so irritating. I have had it happen to me several times at college.

Me too D=

Especially, when you're a curious person like me... They usually know this and then they won't say D=

xDDD;

[MBlight]

Another one of my BIGGEST peeves ever is taxis here in South Africa. They're big mini-buses who have horrendous hooters which they use for no reason at the most random times, I'm sure they do it to kill you before they hit you. They drive on the curb, they swing in front of you with no warning, they squish you off the road, they drive in the emergency lane in traffic (effectively blocking off all emergency vehicles, idiots), they stop in the middle of the road, often big main roads to drop off passengers, without any indication of their intention, or alternatively they put their hazards on and perform any of the above actions. they also tend to drive up the wrong side of the road, or off the road or horizontally over it or in the middle of it. Another of their habits are to turn from non-turning lanes and skip red robots

Problem is also, there are so many of them on our roads so there's no way you can just avoid them either. They're EVERYWHERE, bound to destroy your car, your life and all the people they carry!

I agree.

Use a kettle.

[Nate]

They're big mini-buses who have horrendous hooters

I'm assuming this word means something different in South Africa than it does in America, probably the horn.

Though the thought of a mini-bus with breasts is pretty funny.

skip red robots

Though I have absolutely no clue what that could mean.

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

Yes, hooters are horns; particularly loud ones.

[Atria35]

I hate it when people turn in school papers without having even bothered to use spellcheck. I mean, it's not that hard, it's not like it will take hours, and it's not like they have a personal vendetta against me, so why can't they take pity and click a button so I can grade papers while concentrating on the material instead of spelling and grammar? XP

[Htom Sirveaux]

Apostrophe abuse.
There are only a few situations in which an apostrophe is needed. It's not that hard to memorize them.

Mixed/misapplied metaphors.
I hear them all the time, and it still annoys the crap out of me. "Swallow the bullet?" Yeech.

Elevator button-mashing.
From outside: Rapidly pressing the button for the elevator won't make it come any faster. From inside: Likewise, pressing the button with the number of a floor won't close the door any faster. If you're in that much of a hurry, use the button marked "Door Close."

[Shao Feng-Li]

Ohmygoshohmygosh I have another one.

"Hey, this doesn't have a price tag on it! Does that mean it's FREE??"

No sir, it does not mean it's free, nor does it mean that your joke was ever funny to any retail employee.

XDD Ah, retail. I will never, ever miss you. XD

Oh gosh. I work in retail. It's made me hate nearly every age group. I tell you, 99% of the large people on those scooters have entitlement issues.

Another one I hear a lot at work is "If it were a snake, it would of bit me."

Mothers with the bratty kids. You know, don't yell and scream at your kids. They copy everything you do.

My pet peeve isn't so much the kids as it's the crappy parents.

I also love it when kids are underneath the carts or just lying on the floor.

I also hate when the old folks tell me it's colonoscopy time. You know it's coming when they need their yellow Gatorade and Jello. /shivers

So, yeah, most of my pet peeves are work related.

[Wikiwalker]

People who seem to think that prose books and comic books are competing mediums and you can't like both.

People who act like books on paper are somehow more "intelligent" then ones on the computer. So what if my copy of treasure island is a computer file, the words are still the same as they are in the paper copy, it's just that I can get the one on the computer for free from Gutenberg, but I have to pay ten dollars to get the paper copy.

People who only use the Websters 1828 Dictionary and insist that every newer dictionary isn't really English.

When the toilet paper in a bathroom rolls under. Why does anyone think that toilet paper should roll under? It's hard to get at and it always rips when you try to pull it out.

Christianese. Just Christianese, please people, say what you mean in plain English or no one will ever know what you're talking about.

[Tsukuyomi]

People who don't put the toothpaste cap back on D=

I mean, it's ok if they forget sometimes, but all the time is annoying Some toothpaste are thin and if the cap isn't on, it leaks out all of the area of the sink it's on D= Or, it gets hard or something like that

So true, I hate it when that happens.

And another pet peeve: Guys who ask you out without asking you out. They say "let's hang out and have coffee," or they ask you out over facebook or something (also without actually asking you out). A word of advice to guys, if you don't have the commitment to ask a girl out to her face, or even admit that you're asking her out she's not going to want to say yes.

I just realized that a lot of my pet peeves have to do with people not saying what they mean. I guess my real main pet peeve is people who don't say what they mean and expect you to understand. Except sarcasm. I am OK with sarcasm.

This is yet another one of mine. :|

[Tsukuyomi]

Capitalization.. When someone doesn't put a capital letter of the first word in a sentence, a place, or a name D=

Even in IM, I'm picky about that X_X;

[TGJesusfreak]

I have another one:
When I have a friend that just so happens to be a girl. And my friends *cough* sisters *cough* are like "You have a crush on her don't you?"

It's like "NO! I DON'T HAVE TO LIKE EVERY GIRL WHO I CONSIDER MY FRIEND!"

My siblings say the same thing about all my male friends O_O. It is very annoying.

That kinda gods hand and hand with the "Every guy I know is my boyfriend" o.O That irked me then and it irks me even now when I see it happening to others xD it's like, serious, not all guys I know/talk to are my boy friends o.O

Ugh, yeah, same here! If I hang out with a guy, everyone at school assumes that I'm not only dating, but we've...*ahem*
Yeah, I hate most of my classmates.

[Roy Mustang]

People that want everyone to agree on everything, because they think that disagreeing is wrong.


I mean come on, I'm not going to go around being a robot or a slave and agree on everything that others have an opinion on. It's a part of life that we are not going to have the same views and we are going to disagree with others, deal with it!


Also people that have a un-fact opinion on something and really don't know the topic or subject at hand and want to base it on fact.

It's even more annoying, when someone that knows the subject at hand gives facts to tat person and their opinion is wrong and then end up acting like a child and being disrespectful to that person.
