Worst peeve is when my dog lay's under my feet! I always end up stepping on him or kicking him on accident! Then I feel bad! Grrrr

And Fly's...... I hate fly's!

My pet peeve of the day is unnecessary apotrophe's.







(Note to anyone who calls me out on mine - that sound you hear is the WHOOSH of a joke going over your head.)

(Note to Avrolling - I'm just messing with you in good harmless fun :) )
 
Seriously, my pet peeve for today -

Conversations or encounters that go on too long because the other person misses BLATANTLY OBVIOUS keywords or Key Phrases that clearly signify my intent to end the conversation. These keywords are often accompanied by my shuffling my feet, glancing toward the exit (If an in-person encounter and not a phone call) or even a body lean in the direction of the door.

I am by no means an expert on social skills or non-verbal language; far from it. But damn, how can some people just completely miss this stuff?

I When I say, "Okay, so I'll catch up with you later, have a good weekend" that is NOT an indication that I want a recap of the conversation or some additional thoughts on the topic we just covered for 15 minutes.
 
People who throw litter out of their moving cars , fast food trash, cigarette buts, coffee cups- fucking pigs.

totally agree with you on that but my pet hate for the day is those folk in a call centre who A/ can not pronounce my name let alone address,
B/ have no idea where the country you are calling from is but tells you what you should be doing.
C/ GREENFLAG this morning for a breakdown why dont they just send a fucking lorry out to you why ask what is wrong with the car, I would not be paying for breakdown insurance with the tow home option if I did not need it. if I knew how to fix my car I would not phone them fucking idiots.
thanks for this thread I feel better now after that
 
When I go to the supermarket, why the fuck does the register spit out printed coupons for things I never buy and don't need? What is the point of the stupid club cards they make you use??????? :X:X:X
 
Census workers - GO AWAY!

I hate you, I hate the government, stop wasting people's time and money!!! Get off my property! Stop asking me stupid questions. It's none of your business! And if you want information about other people's residences, GO KNOCK ON THEIR FUCKING DOORS! Or better yet, go lie in traffic!!!!!!!

I should send them a bill for the 15 seconds they made me waste putting on my pants to answer the door.
 
... or just don't bother next time. Two bucks says that you won't be bothered by them again for a while.

Nah, these census assholes keep showing up. I also have random cops and firefighters show up BANGING on my door (I have no doorbell) for no reason.
 
So, I am playing spades on yahoo. I will skip the dozens of peeves related to actual hand play and the format itself.

After a hand, one opponent made a polite mild criticism of his partner.

Then after the next hand, I made similarly polite and minor criticism of what was actually a catastrophic error that cost us the match.

AT this point, the opponents whose partner made the initial criticism interjects with "I just like to play for fun"

Okay. I have about a million things to say to that.

1) Please just kill yourself
2) You are a loser. That is loser talk for losers who are so accustomed to losing they accept losing because all they can do is lose like the losing losers they are.

3) See the thing in the corner with numbers? That's called "the score."
4) The point of said "score" is to accumulate a higher one than the opponents, thus "winning"
5) If you don't care about score, or winning, then
A) play unrated games
B) Don't play games at all
c) Kill yourself
D) Tell me ahead of time so I don't partner with a fucking toolbox loser who plays games with a score but doesn't care about winning or losing.
E) Kill yourself. I might have mentioned that already. My apologies for repeating it. Report me to the department of redundancy department. And then kill yourself.

Nice set of peeves but one thing... Until you "win" the game you are not "winning" you are "leading". No offense intended my friend, I'm just a spelling and grammar nazi...

AH, well played sir. I blame the valium and alcohol.

Speaking of which, here's another frequent peeve - Why can't they design a benzo that I can be on all the time 24/7 without any side effects or tolerance or other problems?

I mean, Jesus Christ, what the fuck are these 180 IQ scientists doing? They can make a device that can obliterate a continent by splitting a microscopic atom, but they can't make better medicine? Get your shit together people!

I agree with you there man... Like for real if they invested half their time tryingto make the people happy things would be atLEAST 100x's better...

GOV'T has way too much control... sheit and I'm in the military!
 
My peeve: people criticizing 'scientists' in general for not solving incredibly difficult problems, citing the fact that 'they've' solved relatively far easier problems as their motivation. I'd elaborate, but it would just turn into flames, and I don't want to do that.

Also: post 60^2! Hoo rah!
 
Can't we have some uniform manner of displaying dates? Few things are more irritating than "5-7-10" Does this mean May 7th? July 5th? What the fuck!!!!!! Why the ambiguity!? I shouldn't have to look around until I find a date with a number greater than 12 to determine which format is being used.

I think 7/5/10 refers to July 5th, whereas 7-5-10 refers to the 7th of May, but why have this annoying distinction? Who talks like that anyway?

"Excuse me, what is today's date?"

"It's the 7th of May."

No! No one talks like that. It's MAY 7th!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, what is the deal with this silly system of measurements we use in the U.S.? Who came up with this nonsense? 12 inches in a foot? 3 feet in a yard? 5280 feet in a mile? 16 points in a gallon? WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE DECIMAL SYSTEM! Everything works in units of TEN!
