Pet Peeves v. u mad?

vendors that try to chat me on the phone to sell more stuff at work. Well guess what: I DON'T HAVE THE FREAKING TIME.
 
I hate it when people shield their arguments from valid criticisms by claiming that what they're saying is 'not politically correct', and thus poorly received solely for that reason.

People who thank god every time something good happens in their lives. Right. Because that's why children die every minute from abuse, disease, and hunger. Because god was too busy helping you to find your keys so you wouldn't be late to see Captain America: Winter Soldier.

Also, when I shop at Walmart, I like to leave my cart at the end of the aisle to go grab something. It's much easier than trying to maneuver through the sea of walking and wheelchair-bound fatties that clog the area up. It doesn't happen every time, but every once in a while, I'll grab my item and walk back, only to find my cart is gone. Why? Did a customer walk by and see that I just happened to shop for everything they were going to get and praise Jesus for this miracle? No. Those goddamn Walmart employees will grab your cart and bring it to the service desk. I can understand if I left my cart sitting at the end of the aisle for twenty minutes. But we're talking two, three minutes tops. When I shop, I have my buds firmly in my ear and my music filling my every thought. At that moment, in that sickening shithole of sweat and savings, I am zen. Having to search a one mile radius for my 50+ items takes me completely out of my moment. You don't fuck with another man's shopping cart!
 
motorists that leave their indicator on long after a turn or changing lanes, confusing others of their intended route. how does the clicking noise not drive them crazy?

motorists that insist on driving in the far right hand lane and under the allocated speed limit. please have some courtesy for others. if you want to drive like its a sunday outing in peak hour traffic, there are two other lanes on the highway in which you can do so.

Ah, Frank, thank you for providing me with a great chuckle to start my day. The first is a pet peeve I share with you but the second is a priceless description of one sane person's attempt to adapt to an insane environment--with a mixture of humor, music, outrage and zen. That is probably the only way to get through a Walmart.
 
Groups of people that are too freaking loud in the restaurant like they are the only people eating there! Specially this guy who has the loudest mouth in the group like are you for real? Courtesy people!

^ indeed. i totally respect your right to decide what combination of factors (looks, intelligence, emotional maturity, wealth, etc.) apply to those you find attractive and in what measure. you don't think that others should have the right to make that decision for themselves?

Small parties where there is one group of friends, of only one that you know. The group insists on talking only about other friends that they all know, who you also don't know. Any attempt to change the subject to something that can involve you in the discussion is quickly reverted back to "That one time Steve through his shoes out the window...you just had to be there..."
 
Alasdair you troll this thread so hard lol.
i'm not trolling. i just find it interesting - and a bit of a pet peeve in itself - when people apply a different standard to themselves than they do to others. also, when people get annoyed at others for something over which they have complete control themselves.
