Pet Peeves v. u mad?

the other day i was at the bar with two friends and i told them i had been on suboxone and am overcoming a heroin habit
anyway, that just led us to having a pretty serious conversation about life in general, and talking about how they were supportive, etc

and then suddenly the jukebox stopped and one of my biggest pet peeves rears it's ugly head - low life eave droppers who are strangers, i was able to hear them(by accident) mocking the conversation we were having, despite being a person who is fairly confident, not sensitive and has no shame(it's almost impossible for me to feel embarrassed, and i have no problem laughing at/mocking my self when i do something stupid)

i've never been in a fight before but i was on a high dose of amphetamine and pretty drunk, i came pretty close to confronting this fat ass
 
fuck em CR they probably dont even know that all opioids are addictive. People just hear the word heroin and immidiately assume you are a junkie. But if hes a fatass then you have yojr answer as to why he puts other people down

my pet peeve is basically anything that comes out of my brothers mouth. seriously I fucking hate him. And its not just me, both my parents are fed up with him, all of his friends are pissed at him, hes just a piece of shit. Hasnt NOT owed anyone money at any point in the past two months and all he does is buy roxis and try to get me to smoke him up. I mean I do opiates and all but I never had to borrow money off anyone to buy drugs, let alone my fucking brother whos 4 years younger than me.

All he ever talks about is how the cartoon show he's trying to make is going to take off, but theres one problem, IT'S NOT ANY GOOD. And every time I try to give him advice on how to make it more humourous or clever he either says "nah im gonna do it my way" or even gayer he steals my idea and claims he created it. I seriously cant wait to move out kf here and never speak to him again like holy shit man I feel like I not only have to hide my drug use from my parets but my fucking brother too because hes such a fuckkng mooch.

Not to mention hes late for everything except buying drugs, looks in the mirror adjusting his hair like 1/3rd of the day (I wish I was exaggerating), has a sense of entitlement that I really dknt understand where it comes from. He acts like aince we dont live in the ghetto we arent poor im like dude look at dads bank account and tell me we wrent poor shut the fuck up. But the. be might have to actually contribute something to the household besides leaving the garage door open in 20 degree weather (kills the oil bill) or leaving his dip spit containers laying around the house.

I seriously wouldnt be too upset if he just fucking died, and I know thats cold but if you met him youd probably come to the same conclusion

Fake smiles have been really getting on my nerves lately. You know, the kind made my coworkers or family members to try and remind you that they are happy. When it appears that the person's trying to physically connect the corner of his/her (typically her) mouth to the earlobes, and yet distinctly no movement in the eye area (which is a true indicator that a smile is real and not a fake). I typically will see a family member or coworker and we'll kinda stare at each other for a second or so, before the person tilts his/her head a little and forces the silly looking gigantic fake smile.

What's wrong with a subtle grin? Why does the smile have to be such that it would be impossible to squeeze even one more millimeter out? I get it, you're miserable but want to appear happy. Gotta keep the charade up another moment longer, right? You do realise that your smile looks obviously fake, and that they way it's done instantly with the head turn really does make it look like someone is saying CHEESE! in your head. Keep up those fake appearances!

On a similar note, people who tell me that I need to smile more, ask me why I am not smiling or anything similar. By nature I'm just not a person who naturally has a (sober) grin fixed on my face when I am having a good time. Doing so would be kinda painful after a bit, I would think. Or I'd forget about keeping it going and would revert back to my normal 'in another world blank stare.' If it really bothers you that much that I'm not meeting my smile quota, bring it up with your psychiatrist.

My natural smile is more like a carefree laugh that just has me kind of opening my mouth and squinting my eyes. This mouth-closed, pull it as hard as physically possible smile while tilting the head to the left is just truly bizarre. Is it just a formal gesture like a handshake or a bow, or is there more to it? Would a woman please explain to me why women feel it necessary to do this for one another instead of doing something more natural and carefree? I genuinely am after an answer here!

Oh gosh, I once worked a retail job and I had this newbie GM who was so caught up in the idea of making all of his employees smile. The irony of it was that the guy never smiled himself, and when he did it was painfully obvious that he felt very awkward. But he started this policy where if one employee caught another employee working the cash register without a smile on, that employee was to immediately tell him over the private line on the headset (tattle on the other employee). And if he (the GM) caught an employee obviously looking at another employee who was not smiling and yet did not buzz him, that employee would get written up for not tattling. Talk about a good way to keep your employees smiling - writing them up and/or cutting their hours for not smiling enough and then sending them right back out there to try and smile more. Great plan, bound to work! I even once had a customer formally complain to the store about me because I wasn't smiling enough during her transaction. "Employee ______ was not smiling at the register, and it was like he didn't really even want to be at work" was essentially the complaint as best as I can remember it (she also said that my wrapping job was not up to par on an item that was not even supposed to be wrapped without customer request, and there was no customer request here but I had a habit of wrapping this one anyway because it tended to get a lot of customers bent out-of-shape). But ya, who actually takes time out of the day to call a retail store and complain that a cashier was not smiling enough during a transaction? So glad I don't have to work in that kind of an environment these days!

that used to bother me too, and still does if someone keeps asking me why i'm not having a good time

now i realize, i may not be having a bad time, but if i'm in fact having a good time i usually express it clearly through my body language

i'm not even talking about when this is done towards myself - it annoys me when i see people laughing at other people's mistakes, really man? what's so funny about someone locking their keys in the car(etc)? i'm only willing to laugh WITH someone towards their mistakes if they make it clear that it's no big deal/pretty funny

i just remembered one i've been meaning to post

people who think they can accurately gauge another person's confidence

when someone parks really close on either side of a parking spot and youre sitting there for a minute trying to judge the dimensions of youre car and you start to pull in and realize its a lost cause so you gotta back out and by that point someone is probably walking behind you so you gotta wait for them to move and its always a grandma or crippled person of course so you waste 5 mins of your life trying to do something that should take 3 seconds if people werent ignorant fucks.

"Chick" and "chic" are two distinct words, with distinct pronunciations and meanings, people.

I know, but I don't like to spell it "chick" if I'm talking about the slang term for woman. It irritates me. In my middle age, I'm a lot more belligerent about breaking stupid rules that I dislike.

So you'd like to type a totally different word, with a completely different pronunciation and meaning instead? :?
