Pet Peeves

Not open for further replies.
That is actually a very good explanation. I am impressed.

(Note to those who do talk that way -- I said "explanation," not "justification." I have not joined the dark side).
 
People who call any mp3 player an "ipod."

People who wait until they are in the front of the line to even begin opening their purses and/or wallets and counting out their money.

In a gym setting:

People who attempt to talk to you in the middle of a set.

People who do not rerack weights.

People who ask when you'll be done with a given machine, and then proceed to stare at you like a hawk until you finish.

When dining:

"Any room left for desert?" "Save room for desert?" I hate these phrases. It is always, always, always something about physical room in the stomach. Ahhhh! Just say "Do you want to order any desert?"

At family getogethers, when relatives try and force you to eat more. Ususally the women that have done the cooking - "oh you know you want to go back for seconds." I just want to scream out "If I eat any more, I will feel physically ill. It's nothing against your cooking, but I just cannot eat any more, again, because I don't want to feel physically ill. If I eat more food, I will feel physically ill. Is that clear? No? Okay, I am only 140 pounds, so I naturally cannot eat as much as you, Aunt _____, since we'll you're not exactly.....anyway, smaller person, smaller belly. I am not looking to turn into a fat person. I am not going to worsen my life, either immediately by feeling physically ill, or over time by getting fat, and in following that pledge, I don't want any more food."

When I am asked a tenth of a second after the (first bite of a new type of) food goes into my mouth "if I like it?" "yumm, that's good, isn't it?" I DON'T KNOW YET! GIVE ME JUST A BIT MORE TIME PLEASE!

ohh,i hate people that talk a bunch of shit too,then bitch out the last minute...
 
Omg, pet peeves, I have only one major one.... IGNORANCE.

For fuck sakes, if you don't know what the fuck your talking about, SHUT THE HELL UP! Ahhh.. I get so annoyed when people in my university classes are retarded, not understanding that what they are saying is completely NOT relevant and is something you should never speak of again in class. I hate it. Oh, and people who don't know about politics, or the economy, etc, the stimulus, all this shit, I hate it. I hate Obama supporters, I hate Democrats, I'm a Republican, but I hate the really far far right, just like I hate the far far left, like Carter and Carter Incarnate Obama himself. I hate the bullshit people who tell me we don't need a military, that its a waste of money. Would you please shut the hell up, we need to fucking protect ourselves, and considered we're the largest fucking economy still, you need to be in your backseat position quiet for now on, you don't know what your talking about.

God...

I hate it. I hate fucking ignorance, its just soo painful to listen to it, it just is like nails on a chalkboard. Someone, save this fucking planet from the morons. It needs to be done. I'm sorry, but natural selection people. There comes a time... lol

In the meantime, I'll work on getting into politics. :D

Oh man. I cannot tell you how happy this post made me. This is by far my favorite thread on BL.

Ahhh I hate that!! At my old gym there was one particular guy who used to do this. He was a lovely guy so I always indulged him when he did it. But then I would lose count, not focus on the muscles I was working etc etc. Quite annoying 8) :)
 
Today, I walk up to the squat rack
a guy and a woman are conversing
I wait impatiently, tapping my foot and glaring at them for almost 45 seconds. Finally I say, "Can I work in?"

He says, "I have one more set" and continues standing there not doing his set. After another 15 or 20 seconds he finally does his set.

He is lucky I lack the power to mentally cause people to burst into flames spontaneously.

:) Nah, I am a pacifist. I vent but I do not harm. I abhor violence. I think violence is for the weak-minded who lack the capacity to use reason to get what they want.

My pet peeve for today is .. Me. I am my own pet peeve. Why can't I just let things go? Why must I respond to every response? Why can't I ever back down from anything? Why am I so stubborn? Why haven't I found a way to put this to good use by being a lawyer or a lobbyist or a consumer advocate or something?
 
People treating a concert like a cocktail party (conversing during a set, not paying attention to the sick tunes)

When I'm waiting for an elevator and already pressed the "up" or"down" button and it's lit, I can't stand when people that just get there have to press it again...same goes for a floor thats already lit.

Totally!

Inconsiderate guests!! I dont care if my house is dirty or clean its so rude to leave your trash on my kitchen table, floor, etc for ME to have to pick up later. My house might be a clusterfuck sometimes but at least we all know how to put the trash in the trash can!! (I've had this problem at multiple houses with different friends)

Also it really aggrivates me when people douse their food in salt n pepper, a1 sauce, lime juice, sour cream etc without even trying a bite first!! Its so rude to the person who made the meal.

Good point on both counts. A rule of thumb I try to maintain for myself is, when I leave somewhere, I try to leave no trace that I was ever there (well, no physical trace anyway).

For your second one, how about when people take it a step further and then COMPLAIN about the food in some way?

George Carlin (one of my heroes, not surprisingly) has a very funny bit in his book Brain Droppings dealing with that situation.
 
Concerning nicknames...

1. Generic nicknames. A guy is both Italian and with a "greater surface area" than average. Therefore he is "The Boss." A girl has blone hair and tans a lot. Therefore, she is "Barbie." BE CREATIVE WHEN GIVING PEOPLE NICKNAMES! Seriously, one could fill a sports area with all of the men in america known as "The Boss."

2. When nicknames are person's real name + celebrity's last name. So your friend Amanda smokes crack and loses custody of her kids to her wigga boyfriend. Hmm, how about "Amanda Spears"? Ahhh.

3. When "Baby" is used as an actual name, without behing prefaced by "the," "your" or the like. "Come in tomorrow between 9 and 5 for great bargins on clothing for Baby." NO! "clothing for your baby!" This might be one that I need to have kids of my own for it to magically get better, but seriously this one makes my skin crawl.

4. People who buy an animal, give it a name, and then only call it "kitty" or "puppy" or "sweetie," and the original name fades over time. IF YOU WANT TO CALL YOUR CAT "KITTY," THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE NAMED IT KITTY!!
 
I love your pet peeve posts. I think we should collaborate on a book someday.
