what are your pet peeves?

Post Reply New Topic

People who throw snowballs against our (fragile) front door and shout names (suppositily at us too) in the middle of the night during winter season for who knows what reason, makes me think one of us might have done something really devastating to them that ruined their lives so much that they end up treating us like this.

Another pet peeve of mine:

People who don't read my posts right.

I said people who make a fuss over a FEW typos or ONE.

Next when I said poor spelling and grammar and lack of punctuation, I was implying posts that have tons of it, not a few. Few spelling errors does not make a post hard for someone to read nor even one error.

People yawning loudly
Strangers saying hello to strangers
Toddlers having a temper tantrum over nothing (not to mention the din)
Girls giggling when passing me
People gawping at me like I'm some freak (or giving the prolonged stare)
Needing to go wee in the middle of the night
Internet cutting off but saying ''connected'' at the same time
People coming near me with a stinking cold then giving it to me
People leaving doors open in the house when noisy activities are going on, causing distractions when I'm in my room
Boys shouting at me out of car windows as they go by, and me being expected to feel complimented but instead it just startles me
Snow being forecasted as soon as the temperature reaches, like, 3 or 4 celcius, after having weeks of a mild autumn (like, what's the hurry?!)
Seeing the words ''unable'', ''unsuccessful'', ''cannot'', especially the internet and job letters
My favourite bus-drivers not being on the bus/putting the grumpiest tossers on it regularly
People doing about 25 sneezes in a row
People using fahrenheit to read temperatures, instead of celcius (and celcius is easier because 0 is freezing, which is easy to remember)
Being forced to get buses from FirstGroup
People having the TV on constantly all day, barely watching it
Yappy dogs with an ear-piercing bark in gardens/the gardens next to alleys always have a loud barking dog
People on WP who think everything to do with their thoughts/feelings/intentions/etc is because of having Asperger's Syndrome
When people phone me at the last minute cancelling our plans to meet up - especially when I have already arrived
People who speak to me like I've got no feelings
When someone needs to get to where I'm standing in a shop or wants to get by and I'm in their way
People who lack empathy
People who pronounce ''Asperger's Syndrome'' with a ''J'' and not a ''G''
The majority of women in their 60s, teenage girls, toddlers, and snobs
WP posters who get, like, 7 pages of replies when making a pointless thread, but when I make an interesting/exciting/original thread, I'm lucky to get 2 replies
People who have their telly roaring out really loud for no reason except to be selfish
People clearing their throat, going ''hmmmmm-hmmmmmmmmmmm-hmmmmm''
Strangers invading my personal space

I feel like Jeremy Clarkson here.

I have way too many of them, but here are some.

-Parents with young children and believe that letting them run around like crazy in public is OK or letting them scream their heads off is OK.

-Homeless people who ask you for money when really homeless people might use it to buy either alcohol or cigarettes.

-People who make assumptions about random strangers.

-People who exaggerate.

-People who constantly lie.

-People who smoke where it's not allowed.

-Crowded buses and light rail trains.

-People who say something that's either racist, sexist,
or homophobic without realizing that it is.

But were is that line drawn?

People who ask what day of the week it is, when clearly they know what
day of the week it is.

People who ask for a bus' or light rail train's route, when they know
where a bus or a light rail train goes.

People who defend terrorists as either 'justified' or 'misunderstood'.

People who make fun of Beatles songs like a certain rough neck who goes to my clubhouse.

Sanctimommies.

People who think they look good strutting around in animal skins:

People who are absolute jerks or who have kids and teach their children to be jerks.

Something that has been eating away at my conscience...

I wanted to apologize for suggesting that you might be a hypocrite, that was out of line.

I used to not make much effort to correct my spelling errors, because I figured people would be able to easily figure out what was intended, However even though my post usually only had two or three typos, and they were all words that could easily be figured out via context, people still made a big deal about it, calling my posts "completely unreadable". It drove me nuts. I finally decided that I didn't want to be hassled about it and started taking care of my errors more or less.

That's why I got curious when I saw both spelling errors/typos and people who make a big deal about them in your list. But including "hypocrisy" was way unnecessary, unfair, and unjust and I apologize.

I am sorry.

Cheesiness in any form (from weird jingles to annoying puns).
Conspiracy theories.
Really clichéd writing.
Arguments that have very weak intellectual grounding (self-contradictory ideas, for instance).
Homeopathic "medicine".
Politics, particularly glittering generalities or words transformed into propaganda.
People voluntarily drinking enough to lose all sense of self-control.
Oversimplification of complex arguments for personal or political gain.
People refusing to treat others with human dignity.

That rounds it out nicely.

Anybody who pronounces Los Angeles with a soft 'G' sound.
People who are heartless, in general.
Far-rightism.
Pre-judging people before you even get to know them (especially with me).

Improper grammar
People who are always nitpicking things
When someone criticizes or dislikes the music I like
Underage drinking
Being interrupted when I'm busy doing something

Most are internet related, but here goes...

People who can't help but say 'First!' when they respond first to a video or a list.-
People who think they're being clever, when upon seeing someone do something clever or plainly obvious, say "I see what you did there." UGH!-
Teenage and college-age male f**kwads who think it's funny to say 'that's what she said!' when hearing something that could be taken as an innuendo. These guys need to just DIE!-

Oh, and don't even get me started on these young macho male pricks with motorcycles who think they're cool by revving their engines unnecessarily loud and long! All that expressess to me is "B*tches love my penis 'cause it's REALLY big!", or at least, that's what they *want* people to think.
