Pet Peeves v. u mad?

[CoffeeDrinker]

^Thanks for making my point. The fact that it's one of the most commonly abused Shakespeare phrases makes it even more annoying, not to mention the inherent smugness of the phrase itself.

 

[modern buddha]

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.- Queen Gertrude from Hamlet

Shakespeare was a dumb arse from all reports though

Then his character was trying to sound intelligent when she didn't see the errors of such a phrase.

 

[Busty St Clare]

I'm be more upset with the phrase "doth"

 

[CoffeeDrinker]

Yeah?

 

[Busty St Clare]

A hint of sarcasm methinks

 

[CoffeeDrinker]

well played sir.

 

[shimazu]

people who quote Shakespeare

Okay, I don't know if these have been said before, but I'm not going to read 26 pages of pet peeves, so mine are:

When people don't re-cap their pens when not in use.

AND

Being sticky. If I spill something sugary on my hand or something and cannot wash it right away, it drives me completely insane.

Also, hyperbole.

 

[ricardo08]

When people match the colour of their shoes with their t-shirt and their hat.

 

[Busty St Clare]

Oh that's a good one (although I confess to wearing yellow shirts with my yellow sneakers).

A bigger peeve for me are white sports socks while wearing trousers or worse still work shoes.

unannounced, uninvited houseguests.

 

[modern buddha]

Have I mentioned people who hang towels off the bathroom door handle?

You have towel racks for a reason!

[michael]

not particularly, but these are the facts: i am stuck in a living situation with responsibilities i do not want nor did i ask for, and moving would only make some of these things worse.

 

[rangrz]

horrible, horrible butchering of science. Example: The way hemispheric dominance of the brain is popularly taken. "Oh you write? You must only use the left hemisphere!" GAH! Facepalm.jpg Ditto with [seemingly] heritable traits- When people try to break down very abstract, complex traits as being a single gene with Mendelian inheritance patterns. Etc, Etc, Etc.

 

[trip2themoon]

use of "vs" or "vs." as an abbreviation of version.

ebola

Took me ages to work out that in thread titles on this site it mean version and not versus.

 

[modern buddha]

^ Same here.

 

[Condumbpope]

Atheists that push their shit on everyone else like the religious zealots they are.
