Pet Peeves

Like Shelby's bills thread, I'd thought I resurrect an old thread idea so new folks can play.

<a href="http://chud.com/board/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=24&t=002157&p=" target="_blank">Original Thread</a>

Glancing through that thread, I noticed alot of people just listing things they "hate." I'm sure some are legitimate, but if you really were pissed off by all those things you'd never leave the house.

Please try and keep your lists in this thread about real things that piss you off on a daily basis.

My pet peeves:

People who do personal hygeine things in public. That means don't clip your nails and have the clippings flying in my face; don't stick your finger in your ear/nose, examine the gook that comes out and then wipe it off on the chair/table/wall; and don't pick scabs or zits (ugh, that's just gross). You should see things I have to witness on my subway ride to and from work. eek!

People who smack their lips while chewing. That slurping sound when people eat with their mouth open is horrifying. I actually cringe when I hear that noise. Rent Requiem for a Dream and watch the scene where Marion goes out to dinner with the old guy. Just thinking about it is freaking me out.

People who invade your personal space. I have this co-worker who feels the need to touch you whenever she talks. She'll pat your head or put her hand on your arm. I always try to back away slowly and then get trapped against a wall. She also calls people "Hun". Ugh. It's so fake sounding, it makes me want to retch. This peeve also includes people who talk an inch from your face and people who hover over you to look at your computer or read over your shoulder. Dude, just back the fuck up!

People who do not spell correctly.

People who say "Its like, you know?"

People who wave their hands around their faces when I smoke...especially when they themselves smoke like a chimmney when drunk.

I can't really fathom that. At all. But I'll take your word for it. wink

Powder...chill out man. Don't take everything so personally, there is plenty of time for that later when these people know the intimate details of your life and "enhancement" surgeries...

I hate people who won't stop talking to you. Even if I like you, there is only so much converstation I can handle. And when the same things keep being repeated, I want to punch the person in the face.

I hate urban sprawl. Why can't there be a more distinct seperation from "the city" and "the country"?

I hate people who go around acting like they deserve respect just for existing. This is especially true of store shoppers. Just cause your buying a $6.99 DVD doesn't mean you own me for 15 minutes. And if that pisses you off, by all means take your business elsewhere.

Ugh, I'll take a "like" every now and then if it means I don't have to hear, "You know what I'm sayin'?" Some people will say it several times in one sentence using it as filler instead of something shorter, such as "um" or "like."

I used to go with to school with a guy who said "Dude" at least three times per sentence. On most occasions, it was followed by "Like." I also went to school with people who communicated in grunts, a lot. So needless to say, they weren't the most intelligent group of people.

My pet peeves:

My boyfriend not realizing that he is a very attractive guy, and that there are many reasons why I'm with him...and therefore many reasons why I'm not going to leave him!

People who don't really listen to you.

I'll have to agree with the personal space deal, Diva. There are some people who are allowed to violate it...they are few and far between. Not people who are just in a random class with you, so they think you're their new best friend.

People who drive 10 miles under the speed limit.

Along those lines....farm equipment that decides they need to travel on highways...almost always when I'm late to class.

This thread could go hand in hand with the FATWA thread.

But some things that annoy me are:

People that yell when there is no need to yell. One time I was in Kmart and this guy yells. "Hey Darleen!" or some shit. "Check this out!". Dude! Walk over there and talk to her. There is no need to shout.

Another is people munching and smacking while in the theater. There is no need to act like a pig while the lights are out and the movie is blaring. I can still see you and I can still hear you.

It really peeves me when people leave their shopping carts out in the middle of the parking spot. Can you not walk 15 feet to the cart return slot? Lazy so-and-so's.

I really get hacked off about 'mall-walkers'. These are the people that you happen to be following in public, and then for no apparent reason they reduce their walking speed to about 1/4 of yours, or they stop all together.

And disappearing waiters. If they want a break, that's fine, but please fine somebody to cover your tables while you do it. If I have to wait for a refill on my Pepsi for 15 fucking minutes when it's not extreamly busy, you're sure as hell not getting a tip from me.

People who walk loud. Meaning they a)wear shoes that don't have rubber soles or b) they shuffle their feet. I have a coworker who wears these high heel shoes everyday that clang so loud against the hard wood floors that you can hear her coming a mile away. As for the latter, how lazy do you have to be that you can't pick up your feet to walk properly? The swishing noise that is created as they drag their feet along the ground drives me insane.

People who pop their gum. It's called chewing gum for a reason -- you chew it! There is a minimum of at least one person everyday on the subway who spends the whole time snapping their gum. Blow a mini bubble, suck it in, snap, blow a mini bubble, suck it in, snap...

I concurr with the personal space invaders.

I hate people who don't comb their fucking hair when they come to work! I have this idiot co-worker who shows up damn near every day with messy hair. It stands straight up. Oh the many jokes we make about that.

This is also the same guy who refused to brush his teeth for two weeks straight because the paste made his tummy sick and he was a cheap fucker who refused to pay a bit more for another brand! wtf? The result: TRENCHMOUTH!

Those who hate showering are worthless.

People who think commercials are funny.

People who think movies and tv began the year they were born.

Fat people wearing clothes that are obviously waaay too small. For instance, go to any sci-fi con and look for the fatties in the Star Trek uniforms. Guts hanging out, tits exposed. Classy.

Men peeing in public - y'know, if it's been a long night and you've been drinking and you *really* can't hold it in, at least *try* to be discreet about it and find some back alley to do it in. Walking home through darkened streets and coming face to face with drunks with their wangs in their hands is a bit off-putting, to be frank. Counter-intuitively I know, it is NOT a turn-on. Honest.

Tailgaters - believe me. Driving so close behind me that my arse is practically perched on your front bumper is NOT going to make me drive any fucking faster - indeed, quite the opposite, since I'm slowing down since I'm near an unsafe loser. Just fuck off with the tailgating, please.

Spam - Don't. Just *don't*. Every email account fills up in no time with massive drifts of shit about viagra or webcams or internet spyware which I'm like totally going to buy because I AM AS STUPID AS THE DAY IS LONG.

Spammers I can understand, since they are just wankers deserving of being boiled alive in oil and fed to starving raccoons. The people I really hate are people who respond to spam, hence encouraging them to keep fucking doing it. I would write down what I think should happen to them, but I suspect that it might be illegal.

But still. Everytime I open one of my accounts, about twenty minutes of my precious, one-time existence get spent deleting virii and spam.

And to quote Uncle Hannibal, "It won't do."

Sammy, I could pee anywhere too, if I wanted to. The question is, is the world ready to see me squatting in gutters, stairwells, and at the side of parked cars?

Well... okay... see that more than it does already?

People who can't walk down a flight of stairs. I saw a woman today waiting for an elevator to go from the second floor to the lobby (the first floor). She was maybe in her low thirties, healthy looking (she could have had a heart condition, I guess), and seemed quite capable of climbing stairs, especially ones that go down.

That normally annoys the hell out of me as well--and this is coming from someone who can't handle stairs well at all! If I can do one flight, or even two, so can everyone else (within reason of course). Hell, I even tackled stairs while I was on crutches (yes, I am very stubborn). But anything over two flights, I opt for the elevator.

Petpeeves 2:

Overly-sensitive people. I have a friend who can't eat anything, and it's a pain in the ass going to dinner with him. "I can't eat this, it will give me heartburn." Boo-fucking-woo. I'm sure that tomato is not going to kill you...

People who drive 10 miles under the speed limit. Sure, it's their choice, but please get out of my way.

How about the parking lot vultures? Ya know these pathetic creatures who waste more time waiting for a spot close to the door than just parking the damn car and walking a few feet.

99.9999999999% of the time its a fat tub of shit who could use the extra bit of walking from car to store.

If you are that lazy and cant walk a few feet, do your shopping from home!

The space vultures who spy you and wait for you to pull out are jsut as bad. If you are not as fast as they would like they have the nerve to honk. When I was in college, whenever this occurred I would act like I just pulled into the space, get out and the space vulture would drive off in a huff. I miss those days.

I have two that are constant sticklers with me.

1. Drivers that speed up ahead of you just to turn on their turn signal when there isn't a single soul behind you.

2. Drivers that insist on riding peoples bumpers. Next one that does it to me...I'm slammin' on the brakes! You hear me?

Wow, I really was just about to post that. I had an asshole do that to me yesterday but he didn't even turn! There was no one around, I was doing 10 over...so it's not like I was going too slow or anything. We were approaching the red light and I was in my right lane so I could turn right (signal on) and the bastard speeds up and jumps in front of me and just sits there so I couldn't turn. Oooh, I was so fucking pissed.

Two of my driving pet peeves are when:
1. People jump in front of you then slow down. I hate that.
2. People that just drift into your lane, like they don't have a care in the world. That just bugs the shit outta me.

Oh man, this is all so fucking true. Those fat things who use the handicap spaces just because they're part of the new disabled...fat. I can't stand going to the State Fair and having to get out of the way for those damned rental scooters for the tubs who were stupid enough to let themselves get to 400lbs. And now I'm supposed to treat them like some sort of queen and get out of their way?
