Pet Peeves v. u mad?

[modern buddha]

I dislike the term "it's in my blood", usually used as reasoning for doing something just because someone else in their family does it, even though it may not be suited for them.

Example: I just came back from my first phase of training to be a truck driver. I'm rooming with this girl who has explained the fact that she's taken the CDL test five times now and can't pass. I asked her what got her interested in trucking. Apparently, her dad and sister are truck drivers. She tells me it's "in her blood". What the fuck does that even mean, anyway? If you've taken the test five times and can't pass, it's obviously not "in your blood".

My pet peeve is the opening credits of Dexter. It starts with a montage of early morning activities, breakfast, flossing, shaving before he finally pulls on his shirt and strolls out the door with that smug serial killer smirk on his face. Except he has a 3 day growth of stubble on his face! Now I can suspend a lot of disbelief regarding a lot of convenient plot holes in this series, but I get so angry I want to shake the tv set when I have to ignore the fact I just watched him shave his face less than 30 seconds ago!

Stoner anti-intellectualism pisses me off every time. One of the reasons why I think the cannabis discussion forum contains the dregs of our gene pool; it sucks because I like discussing cannabis and I like some of the posters there, but I just can't take the bullshit... it just makes me ragefase like a mofo and I have to leave.

dude you know a frisbee is a brilliant idea for car ride roll jobs if I can pass on one thing to bluelight stoners, buy a frisbee. Not only is it useful, but to get the smell out you just throw it around for a bit.

My pet peeve is people who yell into their cell phones thinking they have to talk really loud or the person on the other end wont hear them.

"smh" as an internet acronym, written in lower case. sounds like "ssssmmmuuuhhuuuhhh" as I hear it in my head.

ebola

I hate it too and I hear it in my head as well but I hear it as

"essss-emmmm-hhhaaaa"

Actors trying to pull off accents and failing. That's enough to ruin a movie, especially if they're trying to sound like they're from the southern states in the US but can't pull it off. Also americans trying to do british accents sound like a parody, like that Nip\Tuck wife who plays british in Event Horizon -just die allready you're totally killing the mood

Hahaha.

People who feel the need to say something like 'I'm so high' when they've taken something. No one gives a fuck, get over yourselves.

i am tired of people with expensive cars who seem to feel like paying a lot for their car entitles them to the right of way, and that you are an asshole for assuming otherwise.

IOW i am not going to let you out of that driveway when i am traveling at 35mph.

road rage rears its ugly head. but i agree although i find it is worse in areas where mums who dont work and have rich husbands drive expensive 4x4's. they think they own every road.

people who suck your dick with their teeth.

the disconnection of internet gay sites combined with the difficulty in meeting gay men outside the club scene. not easy if you base your social circles on people you like as opposed to pure sexual orientation...

shitty dubstep and electronic music... i really like some of this genre but some if it is so goddamn irritating as is that horrible new taylor swift song about how she is never ever ever getting back together with whoever... and kangnam its like a creepy asian guy attempting to be a black rapper set to electronic music what is the world coming to?

 

[Jabberwocky]

Pet peeve: how goddamn catchy ^that taylor swift song is. I wish the brain wouldn't put shit like that, or commercial-jingles, on repeat all day
/accucheck nanoooooo, you're the one i choose!

^ I think the last half dozen or so posters need a refresher course on the differences between a peeve and an annoyance. :)

I am not qualified to give it--I need the same damn course. ;)

pet peeve: excessive pedantry

addictive do you think we need to start a thread about stuff that is currently annoying us then? i mean a pet peeve by definition is irritating and something that is annoying is also by definition irritating soooo it may be a lil repetitve?

 

[addictivepersona]

^ No, that's what TL is for--To gripe about your day. ;)

Geez, wish I hadn't said anything. Feel free to carry on as though I hadn't. 8)

 

[tackyspiral]

^ sorry if it came out bitchy just trying to put it in perspective

 

[addictivepersona]

Nah, no worries on coming off as bitchy, but I don't feel we need a "complain about your daily happenings" thread. However, true peeves (like cupboard doors that just won't close, or leaky taps, or cars that stop too close at stop lights) are sometimes hilarious and entertaining to talk about. IMO, talking about commercials/songs that get replayed or bad body odor or coming home smelling like cigarette smoke... Those are all things that will pass. The songs/commercials will quit being aired. The person will take a shower. Your clothes won't smell like smoke after washing. But those cupboard doors will still not close another day. The tap will still leak no matter how many times you have it fixed or how hard you shut it off. And those assholes as stoplights will still stop far too close to your vehicle. That is what I'm talking about here.

And to answer the thread title question: Yes, I'm mad, bro. ;)

 

[Jabberwocky]

i still don't think peeve is any less accurate for what people are posting.. you're right you aren't qualified to explain it lol.

 

[addictivepersona]

Perhaps I'm just angsty and looking for some place to complain? ;)

My "peeve" of the day is packing a box really well, taping it up neatly and securely, and then realizing there's a rip in the side of the box. Grr. Lol. 8)
