Pet Peeves v. u mad?

I hate when people make noises to express their emotions and they make one of those "hurr durr im adorable" smiles. You aren't cute, use english, there are words for what you want to say.

I hate it when people say "whatcha munchin on?" I swear to motherfucking christ, that is the dumbest goddamn expression I've ever heard. It combines poor grammar, annoying contractions, the most obnoxious, the most annoyingly glib tone of voice, and the very most unpleasant word I know into one ungodly sentence.
 
^ I don't know anyone who says "whatcha munchin' on?".

Also, not all emotions are fit for the English language. When I'm being forgetful and distracted, then finally get the meaning of the conversation I'm having with someone, the only thing I can say for that is "a hurrrrr derp derp". Those are noises and yet, they make more sense than any proper word in our language.
 
That's a different story. I'm talking about people who yodel or hum to express basic expressions like "excited" "disappointed" etc. These noises are completely meaningless to everyone else and just slow the conversation down when we need to ask for a translation.
 
when people fuckin lie to me. when people ask for rides. when people ask me to buy them cigarettes. when people KEEP MESSAGING ME "HI" OR "HEY WHAT'S UP" when I clearly haven't responded to the last 100 "hi" messages they sent me.

oh and i forgot, when a guys cum gets in my hair. like JEEZ, DID I NOT TELL YOU TO AVOID DA DAMN HURR.

My peeve involves places that sell hot chocolate drinks with no marshmallow. It's just plain wrong IMHO and I feel cheated when it happens.

I think they should have a warning on their menu - "does not come with marshmallows".
 
People that use the argument "Cannabis should be legal because banning something natural wrong!" I agree it should be legal, but that argument is a terrible, logically sloppy one. Reason: These same people often support having cocaine and morphine under legal control. But they are natural too. Not to mention, they generally agree that say, oh perhaps, something that grows naturally like anthrax or plague bacteria should be regulated by law, or that high enriched uranium[which is just an element found in the earth's crust] should be controlled.

Fucking hell I HATE poor arguments like that. Make your arguments internally consistent.
 
our dog gets pretty hyper and excited for like two minutes when someone gets home

i usually pick her up and pet her under the chin and on the belly, and she quiets down

it bothers me that my roommate just yells at her to shut up over and over again
 
people saying "diffuse" when they mean "defuse". Okay. This isn't really a pet peeve, as the results are usually pretty funny.

ebola

Hm, count me among those that pronounce them both the same.

first world problems

The "dont even talk to me until Ive had my coffee" people.
 
(SPOUSE) I hate it when I ask for something to be done, I get a million excuses, and then it never happens "Later" as I was told.
 
^ The reason someone doesn't do what you ask them is they see no importance in doing the job you're presenting to them. It doesn't matter how much it matters to you, if they see no real importance in the job, then they will either not do it or do it half-assed.

You need to find a way to show your spouse why it's important to him/her. Not why it's important to you. If it's important to you, then YOU do it. If it's important to the both of you, then get him involved. Don't just tell him to do it and leave it at that.
 
^ thank you for your advice. Unfortunately even giving him an angle in which will make him feel like he is doing it for himself I.e. Cleaning the room so he can put his 360 games on a shelf so he doesn't lose them anymore, doesn't apeal to him.

His mom cleaner after him his whole life. She said that never cleaning his room was his choice, and he had no punishments for messiness. This led to 18 yrold laziness.

I'm ranting, sorry, but in the end I think it's just a phase...right?
 
^ it will be a very long phase (think 70 years) if you don't address it :)

i have a pet peeve. it's people in grocery stores who stand and watch the cashier ring up their groceries, watching them as they pile up at the end of the check-out, then stand there and watch the same cashier bag their groceries, thus doubling the amount of time it takes them to get through the checkout.

i have an idea. how about you (at least help) bag your own groceries?

alasdair
 
^ pisses me off too man

another one is people who wait until they are told their total to retrieve their cash/check/card

have that shit ready please
