Pet Peeves v. u mad?

I can barely parallel park. Literally anything else im fine at but I just would rather park in an easy spot a block away than parallel park. Never really practiced it that much I guess

Lol you reminded me of another pet peeve. I don't like when people are too lazy to look up these simple conversions. You have the internet right fucking there :|

Well, aren't you just a ray of sunshine? I didn't fill it in because it's not a direct conversion. I can't prove that if I'm going through an area in Australia and end up with a scenario like this that the posted speed limit will be 72kph. It'll probably be 70kph, or 75. It won't be 72, which is why I didn't fill in the blank.

Anything else that annoys you? Might as well get it out now, mate.

Oh yes many, many things. However I'm quite certain I don't have the time or the patience to type out such a list as it would end up being several thousand items long.

One thing that comes to mind is when people can't take a joke. Although I suppose it's partially my own fault. Maybe I should use more smileys in my posts? What do you think? :) <3
 
misuse of "eg" and "ie". There's no need to use abbreviations of Latin, so why use them if you don't know what they mean?

Eg, if someone says, "Violent crimes, ie, murders, are on the rise." This is correct only if only murders are on the rise.

As a rough guide, "ie" is interchangeable with "that is", "eg" with "for example".

It's like affect and effect.

This is tricky, as both can be used as either nouns or verbs. Correct use of "effect" and "affect" affects my affect so as to effect a beneficial effect. :P

the honey flavored is the best. i love it.

pet peeve - when the liquor store doesn't have my whiskey so i have to buy a 20$ bottle instead.
 
My pet peeve is when people use circular arguments as justification for continued prohibition of drugs like -

Q. Are you for or against cannabis prohibition and why? A. Cannabis is illegal and therefore using it is wrong.

Also I hate it when people are for human rights, except if it involves paedophiles or other serious criminals. Human rights are inalienable, you can't just give some people these rights but not others because you don't like what they've done. Two wrongs don't make a right ffs.

It's very difficult for human beings, who operate on mainly emotional responses to crime, to support human rights for people who've taken human rights away from other people, particularly vulnerable ones like children. People who've committed victim-less crimes or at least crimes where the victims are less defined, are more likely to encourage sympathy or empathy in terms of human rights.

I don't agree with capital punishment for example, and will get quite heated about it but when it's someone like Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma bombing) being sentenced to death years ago, while I still disagreed with capital punishment, I found it difficult to get worked up about it in his case.

Human nature I guess.

Pet peeve for the day - dry dry dry hands. Every year the weather starts getting colder, my hands get dry and sore then eventually develop dermatitis. Stupid problem but annoying just the same.
 
Something I do not like: when someone puts a full dirty dish inside a full dirty dish. It makes the liquid / whatever flow out the side, creating a mess. Furthermore, it makes the bottom of the top plate messy and sometimes, very greasy. If someone doesn't normally wash the bottom of plates / bowls, then the next time you reach for them, you have to re-do what they failed.

Please, at least rinse out the dishes before staking them to wash.
 
Kids being extremely proud/defensive of their area codes, as if it were a gang symbol.


RL: Where are you from again?

Other Person: Represent the 453!

RL: Could you please tell me the name of the city?

Other Person: Dude, I got 453 tattooed on my shoulder to remember where I am from.

RL: WHAT IS THE $!$% NAME OF THE !$&$ CITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE 453 ARE CODE?
 
When people leave less than one serving of a food item. Though I've been told that my "one serving left" is rather generous, don't leave a 1/3rd of a cup of juice or a teaspoon of mayo! 8(
