Pet Peeves v. 5.0

^ I see what you did there ;)

Peeve: autoplay. In any form. Online videos, audio, Windows autoplay whenever I load some physical media, whatever. I'm not some moron who can't figure out how to press 'play' when I want to hear something, and more often than not the default operation is one that I do not want to perform thank you very much.
 
When people leave the foil cover under yogurt/sour cream/cream cheese lids on the container even after using it.

Like these:

Remove the foil cover all the way please and throw it away.

i do it occasionally especially if i don't have a full trashcan. usually there's some yoghurt left on the lid and it can get really ugly really fast after a few days at room temperature. so unless i'm going to toss the trash out immediately, i just leave the plastic/foil lid on the container until that time comes.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Its not as if leaving the foil on there helps at all, it just gets in the way.

I suppose that makes sense though I would just scrape the yogurt or whatever it was off. Like in elementary school when you would like the pudding cup foil to make sure you got ALL the pudding.
 
Sports discussion creates so many pet peeves, I could probably write a book on this topic alone. But perhaps the most annoying pet peeve of all is the baffling and idiotic reference to a no-hitter as a "no-no."

WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYONE REFER TO A NO HITTER AS A "NO-NO" ???????

a "No-no" is a slang term for an error, screw-up, faux pas, mistake, etc.

Correct: "You got drunk and hit on your bosses wife? That's a major no-no!"

Incorrect: "Matt Cain gave up a hit in the 8th inning. He almost threw a no-no"

AAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!! :X:X:X:X:X:X

He almost threw a "NO-HITTER" !!!!!!!!! As in, he almost pitched the entire game while allowing NO HITS, hence the phrase "no-hitter!"

What the fuck does it mean that he almost pitched a "no-no"? He almost went through the entire game without allowing a no?
 
I can't stand when people that drive 4000lb killing machines don't use their conveniently placed signaling devices. I probably shouldn't carry my glock with me XD
 
lately, ive just been pissed at how my roommate expects me to read his mind.

like, the last couple of days, hes left for work and left the dogs inside. He didnt tell me why, and i ended up coming home to a destroyed house. Finally, i asked him about it, and he said "theres too much shit in the backyard. you need to clean it or im not putting the dogs out there."

wtf? they're dogs

so i cleaned it, took me all of 15 minutes, which i would have been happy to do in the first place....but if he thinks something is dirty and hes done it too often, he needs to tell me.

sick of this shit...i didnt even have this much trouble with my last gf

^ technically a "no-no" is no hits, no runs.

This is absurd. Over 99% of no-hitters are shutouts. Using the term "no-no" to distinguish the shutout no hitters from the non-shutout no-hitters is even more ludicrous than what I was originally complaining about.

Besides, who gives a shit if a pitcher gives up no hits but gives up a run? If a pitcher walks 9 batters and 3 of them score but he allows no hits, it shouldn't even be newsworthy.

It must be very irritating being Fjones.

People who don't pull up to the line at a light.

Oh shit. This reminds me, I forgot one.

ADDENDUM:

11) People who ride their brake for a quarter mile as they approach a red light, causing me to do the same or else rear-end them.

What is with people? Has anyone noticed the excessive amount of time people spend riding their brakes? Why? Just take your foot off the gas and the car will slow down. Some people ride their brake as they proceed through the intersection making a turn. I JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS.
 
Columbus Day

My pet peeve of the day is stupid holidays and the inconveniences associated with them. Since these inconveniences happen repeatedly whenever one of these such holidays comes around, these annoyances therefore constitute a PET PEEVE by any reasonable definition of the phrase "pet peeve."

I seriously think Columbus Day might be the most idiotic holiday in the history of the universe.

I wasted 15 minutes driving to the bank yesterday only to find it closed. Why? Because it is COLUMBUS DAY!

Seriously?

In the United States of America, we are celebrating the birth of an Italian explorer who was a delusional greedy murderous plundering tyrant whose mathematical and navigational ineptitude resulted in his failure to actually locate the continent he sought. Stubborn to the very end, he lived out his life insisting he had in fact found Asia.

Why the fuck do we, in America (or Anywhere for that matter) celebrate the birth of this miserable failure of a man?

Even worse, his birthday isn't even on the 11th, when the bank was closed. We just celebrate it on the 11th for some stupid reason. There must be at least ten thousand Americans more deserving of a national holiday than Columbus.

Someone please explain this to me.

I recently became employed in a hotel as a bellman/concierge.
The thing that has been bugging me since I started working there is when I say hello to someone and they walk by without even acknowledging that I said something to them...:X
