Pet Peeves v. u mad?

[ebola?]

the slang term "ratchet". It should be "ratcheted" or something.

^ it's funny (and not a little meta) how people discussing pet peeves can, in and of itself, be a pet peeve

Lol yeah. I'm gonna give this thread some air. and choose not to argue.

I dislike the judicial system. Too much room for errors and people being sentenced harshly for silly charges like possession, and the related charges due to drug dependency issues.

 

[quiet roar]

^^ And in the flip side, the ridiculously lenient sentencing for violent crimes.

 

[ebola?]

'Ironic' use of im(h)o, tb(p)h, etc. I think that the joke is over. It might be a situation akin to the once ironic imbibing of PBR....

And in the flip side, the ridiculously lenient sentencing for violent crimes.

To what extent do long prison sentences rehabilitate offenders? And to the extent that the goal of justice is retribution rather than rehabilitation, on what grounds do we justify it?

are you suggesting mandatory sentencing or minimums are a better approach?

[Whosajiggawaaa]

that's correct use of the noun but it's not really what ebola's talking about...

and "biased" and "biast" surely sound exactly the same so i'm not sure what your point is, there?

alasdair

It sounds different in our accent. The peeve is legitimate.

 

[alasdairm]

what is your accent? how would you pronounce biased and biast?

all per peeves are legitimate. some are just stupider than others

Bliss being wasted on the ignorant, or maybe I'm just feeling sour and being a bit ignorant myself.

 

[Papaverium]

My pet peeves mostly revolve around certain sounds (i.e, nails clipping, food being chewed loudly, a metal rake on cement...)
chekka for an accurate description of what I mean: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misophonia

Also, I can't wear a sock if it has even the smallest hole in it, lol drives me crazy.

Oh tell me about it! Actually one of them quit and it's her last week so I'm sort of celebrating. I'm doing most of her work anyway so it was not a loss after all.

 

[ebola?]

people referring to "pills" as if they're a class of drugs. Various pills contain many different things. . .

[Maya]

People who can't wait and think their stuff is more important when it's not. (Venting about my workplace again)

 

[flyhighk]

I absolutely HATE when people write something that they can't relate to.
For example 'puff puff pass' or 'pussy money weed' or 'smoke weed everyday'.
These guys have never even smoked weed!

Co-workers that can't keep up with tasks and have to be constantly reminded of them. I'm not a freaking babysitter you know?

 

[ebola?]

non-linguistic:

I hate it when I 'knock' an eyelash askew and can't really fix it, as it continues to irritate my eye.
