Pet Peeves

[The Panda King]

K i couldn't find a thread about this.So here it goes.The question is obviously,what is your pet peeve?

I 4 1 hate bad table manners.

Discuss :bigsmile:

[bdog1321]

Chewing with your mouth open. I'm a guy and I can say it isn't a "guy thing" it's just disgusting.

[The Panda King]

Yea it is.

[sayter]

I flat out HATE when people don't thank me for opening doors for them, or other common courtesies. I always make sure to shout "YOUR WELCOME" to really rub in the fact that they are a douche afterwards.

That, and people on public transit with a) horribly bad body odour b) GIGANTIC freaking purses. Like those hideous TNA monstrosities c) strollers large enough to land an F-18 on

My purse is tiny. I always smell nice. And once this baby is out of me, I'll be using one of those handy fold-up ones when on transit.


I do have other peeves, but for city life...those 2 are particularly annoying.

I never knew you were a chick, wtf.

[Shiznit]

Annoying voices.

I wish randomly punching people in the face with annoying voices could be made a law.

[Coffin Fedder]

My biggest one is when someone doesn't put something back after they finish using it.

[Shiznit]

When people bite their nails.

Guilty ;)

[actgfin1234]

People who say "However comma". OMG that pisses me off.
People who use the term "lol" or "brb" in regular speech.
People who park over the white line in a parking lot, is it REALLY that hard?
People who drive under 75 in the passing lane. It should be a rule, 75 or faster.

I've never heard anyone say "However comma."

I read this as "people shitting on my bed" and I laughed hysterically.

Sorry for the cuss.

I don't particularly like it when people open doors for me and then stare me in the face expecting me to say thank you.

That would be really really really really bad for Wizzy. I don't think he will ever leave his house if that ever became a law. :D

For me:
Women who put on a lot of perfume. What are they thinking?
Baggy pants. A little bit is okay. However when others can see half of your underwear, that's totally inappropriate. There should be a law that allows John Jay to "randomly punch people in the face with annoying" underwear exposure.

[Hugh Junit]

People who can't order in a restaurant, especially when ordering breakfast. It's never taken me more than 5 minutes to decide what to eat for breakfast. It's eggs and stuff, people. Not that big a deal.
And people who are rude to servers for no reason. Never, and I mean never, act like an ass to someone who is bringing you food. Only the dumbest of the dumb don't know that.
I also hate the idea of pet birds. Taking some exotic bird and putting it in a cage ( because it'll fly away/bite all the buttons out of your remote control/claw up your curtains/crap all over everything if you let it out ) just so it can sit there and make ungodly noises for the next 20 years until it finally dies.
Absolutely retarded.

When people don't search hard enough. (http://tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14877)

Latest pet peeves though...
*Getting texts at 1:00 am from someone asking if you're awake. Guess I am now, jerk.
*Bennies (people from not-the-Jersey-Shore) who drive us all crazy by clogging up our streets and beaches.
*Any other shoes besides sandals in the summer.
*Boogie Boarding if you are over the age of 12.
*My TV in my room has two volume levels for bedtime. One is too quiet to hear, the other is too loud to fall asleep to. Nothing in between.
*The fact that I cannot stop saying "overneath"
*The tattoo-phase that everyone will grow out of and regret in a year.

When i was still in school I'd hate when someone passes you in the hallway and says Hi, but doesn't stop walking for you to say hello back.

And cicadas.

[The Wild]

-People who can't fight, that start fights over nothing and then bring their siblings, cousins, and friends to back them up.It pisses the hell out of me, especially when they run their mouths like a motorcycle.

-People who wear fake clothes/jewelry and act like they're rich. Who do they think they're kidding?

-People who 'invite themselves' to parties and hangouts. It's just plain embarrassing for them. They know they're not wanted, yet they come anyway. Jeez.

-Bandwagon hoppers.

-People who i NEVER talk to, that add me as a friend in facebook or act as if we are good friends when i barely know them.

I'll add more later

[meat.eater]

"That guy."

If you've ever been to any level of school ever, especially large universities, you know who the "that guy's" are.

They come in several different forms:
1) The "I Have a Question" Guy: Sitting in the front row dead center every day and asking a question that the professor LITERALLY just answered. Professor: "The first ancient human cultures stemmed out of Africa." That Guy: "So, the first ancient human cultures stemmed out of Africa?" Yes, you giant waste of mass, that's what he just said. Everything these people say is redundant or stupid. I can understand not grasping material as quickly as others, but if you can't understand a simple statement without rephrasing it as a question, you probably shouldn't be trying to get a degree. I have an answer, buddy: close your mouth.

2) The "Show and Tell" Guy: Normally sits in the very back of the lecture hall. About once a day the professor will say something that sparks up a memory in this retard's head, that he decides to waste time and share with everyone else. Professor: "The Boston Tea Party was provoked by..." That Guy: "One time, me and my Grandma had tea at a family reunion." Well, thanks for the touching good story, dickweed, but I don't think your genetically retarded Grandmother is going to be on my God damn midterm. You're not in 2nd grade anymore. Shut up.

3) The "I Should Be Teaching This Class" Guy: Normally a return student in their mid-forties. They like to think because they've been alive for longer than the rest of the smart population, that that know everything. Often, they'll say things just before the professor does so we all "know how smart they are," when in fact, they're probably looking it up the night before in some branch out for acceptance. Often times they'll ask questions they know the answer to just to let it known that they knew the answer: a fantastic use of my time. Or, they bring up material entirely unrelated just to let us know that they passed preschool. I had one of these folks in my history class, while looking at the course text requirements up on the board ask: "Will Guns, Germs and Steel be a textbook for this course?" The professor answered (I love him): "Well, I'm glad you've let everyone know that you've read Guns, Germs and Steel, but why don't you use that reading ability to read the board and then you can tell me if it's a textbook, okay?" Let's let the person with the P.H.D. do the talking, mmk?

4) The "I Like To Hear My Voice" Guy: Similar to #3, but it's not so much that this person says incredibly stupid things to attempt showing off, it's that whatever higher power there is didn't program an "off" switch. We got your point about 15 minutes ago, you don't need to talk in circles for another 3 and a half hours. These are actually my favorite of the "That Guy's" because they're often really ignorant about many different things. On more than one occasion in political science classes, I have convinced extreme Eugene liberals (they're a dime a dozen) who rant about their disgust of the American government that they believe the government should be less involved in people's every day lives. At which point I call them a Republican. It's not so much that these people lack the ability to learn, they just, for whatever reason, choose not to... and subsequently bandwagon onto terrible lines of thought while assuming they know what they're talking about. Fun to play with, excruciating to listen to.

5) Finally, the "I'm so Badass" Guy: Sure, when I was in 7th grade, I thought I was an sweet rebel and bragged to my friends about cutting class or not doing the homework. You're 21 years old now, kid. I don't give a flying firetruck how cool you think you are for "sticking it to the man." Frankly, I don't think the "man" cares either, he'll just fail you; no skin off his back. I would rather grind a screwdriver into my ear than sit by you whisper to me like some teenage Barbie about how you'd rather be screwing the cutie up front than taking notes. Please, please either grow up or drop out of college. I'm here to learn; I PAY to learn... not be in 7th grade. If you'd rather be screwing, I'm sure we can find you a street corner instead of wasting my damn tuition.

With any and all of these people, you have my absolute blessing to throw the most blunt and damaging object at them. Be it a stapler, chair, friend's cell phone, or knuckle. In fact, I encourage it. They've wasted far too many hours of my existence on this Earth.

So, you're saying you don't like people who repeat what others have just said, only in the form of a question, just so they can hear themselves talk, brag about how smart they are, and relate personal stories in which they make themselves out to be badasses? That's what you're saying?

Because if it is, that reminds me of this one time…I was cutting class (because I knew the material cold...it was soooo easy) and after hanging out with these 3 supermodels all morning, I decided to spend some time with my grandpa in the afternoon. Well, my grandpa and I were reading aloud from the Ancient Greek version of Plato's The Republic (you know, Πολιτεία/Politeía)…only get this…my grandpa was reading the lines in Ancient Greek, and I was repeating them back to him only translating them into Mandarin Chinese!! It was a hoot. Sooo much fun!

Anyway, we're reading outside under the shade of an oak tree and we see these 30 punks harassing these nuns who were walking down the street. Naturally, my grandpa and I intervened to come to the nuns' aid, and the scenario ended with me literally beating the stuffing out of each and every one of the hoods while my grandpa escorted the nuns to safety. Ha!

And if you think that's funny, let me tell you about this other time...

[pils]

Ouch, they made you an admin?


No, they didn't...

The people who don't thank you for holding a door open for them is definitely a big one for me...
Another one is when people leave beers half full, and get another one because it got warm... Freakin drink it faster next time, sally! :dry:
When people expect you to do their dishes/clean up after them.
When people eat your food without asking...

that is a pet peeve for me. People like YOU. I didn't thank you for a reason, don't be a dick about it and force your welcome upon me. Go eff yourself, you self righteous, greedy ass.

Speaking of the first one, I never understood when people hold the door open for others, when there are two doors right next to eachother, and there is room for 2 people to pass each other.(Going opposite directions)

It's either kindness or habit.

I don't have a pet peeve. Alot of things may irritate me, but nothing in particular.

[Godmic18]

Go eff yourself, you self righteous, greedy ass.

You're a whore.

I'm dead serious.

You're a waste of space that contributes little and seeks attention by being pathetic/ retarded or insulting.

I retract my previous post. I guess you are my pet peeve.

The triple poster.

But some serious ones.

People who tell me simply accept faults in the world and not try to change them, be it as small as saying American Idol needs to stop, and is the cancer that is slowly killing our ability to achieve greatness. (I can be friends with people who watch it, I just can't be friends with people who are unwilling to accept by ability to criticize it)

Sports players who believe being good at a sport makes them superior people. It simply makes them better at said sport.

People who say that metal music is just noise, and don't give it even a chance.

People unwilling to take a hard stand on an issue.(This doesn't mean they have don't care about every issue, but people unwilling to say, THIS is what I believe in)

People who use intellectual or ideological as an insult.

The misuse of the word irony.

People who continually text while talking to you or at a social event.

[Spirit_Monger]

People who don't chew with their mouth closed.
It's tolerable if you're quiet about it, but hearing a loud "smacking" sound every time someone takes a bite of food tends to get annoying.

[Mongolian]

So, you're saying you don't like people who repeat ...Well, my grandpa and I were... nuns' aid...while my grandpa escorted the nuns to safety. Ha!


What a stupid story! No one made out the nun and there was no climax! too much porn, sorry. Moving along...

[Mongolian]

People who say that (ANY) music is just noise, and don't give it even a chance. no need to specify metal... PS, if your a metal fan, do you enjoy noise music? I guess if you don't know what noise is, nvm.

[The Anti]

And cicadas.

You live in the midwest, right?

I bet you sure enjoyed two summers ago when the cicada plague was here. I'm not sure if it hit where you lived, but every 17 years or so thousands of "17 year cicadas" come up from the ground. And I literally mean thousands. For a few weeks every tree is covered with them, some spots you can't even see the ground. So many of them, everywhere.

[Punishment]

You're a whore.

Because I don't expressly say 'thank you' for someone holding the door? now, in real life i would definitely say thank you since my mommy taught me well growing up, but god forbid i don't say thank you for whatever reason doesn't mean you have to be a douchebag and do one of those nasally jewish voices a your welcome...

maybe I didn't want you to hold the door because i wanted to hold the door. gosh

[mushroom_girl]

-Overcrowded skateparks
-Making plans and finding out the day of that the parentals have scheduled boring family stuff instead
-Greased/spiked hair
-Not having money

There's a ton more..I just can never remember them when I remember to post in this thread.

necklaces being backwards where the clasp is in the front and people pretending they're joking when they're actually being mean/rude.

[Gypsy]

I really hate it when bands change singers. It kills the essence.

[burnout-278]

wat about if the lead singer dies, and the band gets a new one, like drowning pool and alice in chains?

[Gypsy]

It's a good move for the band, but chances are I won't be listening. Is Alice In Chains actually producing new music or are they just touring and playing old stuff?

The one band I'm ok with that seems to go through singers like Spinal Tap goes through drummers is Sirenia (new female vocalist on every studio album, which is fitting considering Veland's history with Tristania), and that's because the Veland (main guitar, harsh vocals, keyboards) writes the songs. Although I will admit the first two albums were the best.
