Pet Peeves

[Tupac777]

When you tell someone something and then not ask them to say anything to anyone else and they agree, then a little while later bring it up with you in front of other people but using very vague words like "So that thing we talked about earlier? Did it get all cleared up or what?"

Dude....everyone is going to start asking what the hell we are talking about and why we can't discuss it is front of them and they will just annoy me and you until one of caves of fucking rips them a new asshole!

OMG,one of my friends does that,it pisses me off so much....

The committe that selects a band for the spring festival at my school (from which I am currently on hiatus) has made a questionable selection.

Two years ago they got Dashboard Confessional. Ugh. This did not go over particularly well. Last year they redeemed themselves with Roots and immortal technique.

Now, I don't expect them to get Nick Warren or Infected Mushroom or something fantastic like that, but, I do expect them to get something halfway decent. The school has 23,000 students! Get a good band!

So, who do they get this year? Green Day? weezer? Foo Fighters? These would all be hard to argue with from a standpoint of general popularity.


But alas, they instead got....

The All-American Rejects????

omg..that is so..freaking...true. Annoying as fuck.
People who cant keep secrets in general irk me.

 

[Fjones]

I do not like being told secrets. Someone who gossips to me, will gossip about me.

Also, I have a bad memory; I cannot keep track of what is supposed to be a secret and what isn't.

People who tell you things in confidence that are obviously not my business have an agenda. I'm talking about people that manipulate situations to their satisfaction. These people are often control freaks--in my experience--and their wanting you to keep a secret is more about trying to keep from having their manipulative bullshit exposed for what it is.

Drivers who don't understand the achingly simple concept of speeding up to merge!

If i give you a spot....take it!

Dont make me slow down to 40-50 mph in a 65 mph zone just to let your scared driving...indecisive...scared ass into the lane. Or risk a high speed interstate collision by trying to mind-read if you half an ounce of common sense or if i should just hit it and pass your bitch ass!

That's me right there.

However, two years ago I got into an accident (totaled my father's Mercedes) because I spend up, thinking this woman was giving me a spot because she had slowed down and was literally HALFWAY in the lane when the stupid bitch driving behind me decided to slam on her gas pedal and smack into the side of my car (people who are willing to get into an accident/get damn close to one to avoid having someone go in front of them make me want to scream) and total not only mine but hers and give me several large lesions/break a rib.

I survived and the insurance deemed it her fault (my father has never forgiven me anyway) but since then I despise changing lanes and I will slow down to a stop to make sure some crazy person isn't going decide to speed up and slam into the side of my car....

True, I dont go blurting out anything of a sensitive nature, whether about myself or others to an acquaintance or someone I just met or somebody I do not KNOW and trust. Only my most treasured and trusted friends get to hear stuff like that, as I am very very private. Conversely, when someone I just met, or someone I'm not close to starts telling me stuff about OTHER people which is none of my business, its a turn-off and I tend to keep them at arms-length.

Now if a person who was not very close to me would confide in me about something regarding him/herself , that is a different story.

Even if the person was someone who meant a lot to you, and told you something in the strictest confidence reiterating not to repeat it to another soul, are you saying you just might and its not your fault because you "have a bad memory?"

No, that isn't what I was saying.

 

[Noodle]

Also, why is there a degree of difference between how you treat your special people and everyone else?

That--in reality--is a lack of moral conviction and speaks volumes about a person's true character.

Actually it is your fault in that case. If a secret is to remain so, you should never relate it to anyone for any reason.

A good way to test someone's loyalty to you is to tell them something that they might deem sensitive information. If the information comes back to you via another party then you know the score.

I do this all the time. It isn't hard to weed out the duplicitous losers this way.

I do not shame easily, and such information is easily dismissed, if I do not confirm it in any way.

 

[Noodle]

number one pet peeve: other people thinking they are right when they have no good reason to believe what they believe

LISTEN to me! I am right.

Therefore you are WRONG!!!! W R O N G

This is the same thing Paris Hilton says she does to see if friends sell her out to tabloids...

I think I just figured out who you really are

^I dont have time for such games.

No, that isn't what I was saying.

Thanks for clearing that up :D

The only difference I spoke of was WHO I confide my innermost thoughts to, in response to the previous post of Fjones about not wanting to hear gossip . I was agreeing with the fact that if someone I was not close to started gossiping about others to me, I would be wary, but it doesnt mean I'd fuck that person over (duh). If someone tells me something, anything in confidence, even the most trivial matter, you can bet you wont hear anything from me. It doesnt matter who its coming from either, a secret is a secret.

Off-topic but, you go to DePaul? WTF? I just graduated in the spring! Do you know dyslecstasy? Did she introduce you to bluelight? I agreed with your distaste for Fest. I never went and don't regret it.

 

[Noodle]

( duh ) wasn't needed, but I don't expect more from you.



We all play games in one shape or form. Some of us are just more honest to ourselves and others about such things.

I've never really been one to deny myself a little vice here and there.






Anyways, I really don't see the harm in it, as all I am doing is sharing some information that I actually do not care about. I only need to do this once to suss a person out. It helps clear a doubt in my mind. Surely you can relate to that.

annoying fonts, font colors, or font backrounds
(especially on AIM)

a bunch of my friends still have bright font colors which are uber hard to read (like light pink or yellow) as their font color!

the worst is when they have a dark font color and a dark font backround

at that point i just give up
I tell them flat out change the font or im not talking to you
it just annoys me its like can we grow up for a minute and have a real chat or are you going to be stuck in jr high?

FJones...I didn't know you were from Chicago as well.

Just for school or have you always lived here?

My friend is currently my dope connect since I don't have a car--I give him money he goes to the hood to grab both our shit and then brings me back mine.

I don't have much room to complain because he doesn't charge me anything, though every so often I will throw him a bag or two or spot him money.

But I am annoyed how the time I will be getting it always changes.

For example, a few weeks ago it went from 7:30 am to 11 to noon to 2 pm to 3 pm to 4:30.

A couple days ago it was 9 then 10:30 then midnight. Finally got them at 10 to 1 am.

This basically happens EVERY time.

Also, I will give him enough for 5 and he will be like "You're not going to do all these tonight right? Can I give you 2 and then I will give you the other 3 tomorrow afternoon?" Then i will not get them for a day or two longer than that.
