haha, why?

Heh, no good reason. I mean, yeah, the surface of a pint is going to present with some foaming. My shtick in this thread has mainly been rooted in making aesthetic judgments about language without solid grounding. :p

The fact that I have to cut and remove the plastic over the mashed potatoes while heating my TV dinner in the microwave.

i comprendo, just givin you grief dude. this whole thread is about little things that irk us without due reason. or maybe the reason is due, but the thing so little, why bother with the irk?

my current peeve: i went to a seasonal employer of mine this week and asked if there was a directory of listing of employees. i was looking for the name of a colleague I had worked with this summer, not that i ever got to mention it. apparently such a directory is confidential, even internally. this is an organization i've worked with since 2006. i mean what the fuck?
 
People that judge too much about how women should be super skinny blah blah well guess what buddy not all women are skinny as sticks so go out so u can see reality hmpft!

When the annoyance is so small, the amusement at one's one annoyance comes to overshadow the pain induced by said annoyance. I have literally not encountered this term in real life. :p

Hmmm...I dislike how rife use of phones has led people to eschew use of punctuation in their textual communications. It's making everyone sound extremely hurried and slightly intoxicated. :p

People who force you to do somethin you don't want.
this is interesting. care to discuss it?

i'm a believer in one of the huge benefits of adulthood being that you don't have to do anything you truly do not want to do. it's possible that the annoyance at others for being forced to do something you don't want to do is actually annoyance at oneself (for not standing up for oneself)?

One of closest friends wanted me to drink on her bday and I already told her Im not drinkin. it's just annoying how some people are too pushy. I already told her im not drinkin and ITS FINAL

Pet Peeve of the day: Annoying coworkers who can't clean up after themselves argh!
 
^^had a friend try to get me to drink too when she knows ive been clean for 2 years...
 
When Pandora doesn't know what "similar" means.
...
I strongly dislike "myriad" used as an adjective yet am fine with "manifold" used as such--there's something wrong with me.

im assistant manager at a gas station
when people come in and say " i need X amount of gas" im like what pump? they are like " i dont know"
and expect me to look out the window and figure out for them
look at the effing pump before u come in!

or when they say i need cigarettes
ok what effing kind???

when people want credit for something they didnt do

when people copy something off you and try to make it seem like its original to them

when your waiting for a text from someone and the phone keeps beeping but its not THEM

when you ask someone for a sip of their drink and they put the cap back on right before they hand it to you

when my ex bf would use my toothbrush EWWWWW
 
working a cash register is a lot easier if you give off lethargic vibes and speak in a monotone voice. make it very clear that you are going to give that person the least amount of help as humanly possible except for the actual money transaction, that I do fast as shit.

after all, THEY walked into where YOU work, fuck em
 
People that feel they must circle parking lots repeatedly to find the closest spot possible. Just park in one and walk damn it.
 
That's annoying to me only when I'm in the car with the offending driver involved. They'll spend 10 minutes looking for a closer parking space, only to walk the equivalent of 2 miles when they finally go inside the building. I look at the parking lot as a warm-up.
 
Getting arrested a year after an alleged offense after you've had all that time to clean up and better your life, only to have it ripped away.
