Pet Peeves v. u mad?

When people reply with a one word reply when texting or using an instant messenger program.

Being hit on ( or even just engaged verbally at all) by borderline retards, particularly while at work. But it's always irritating as fuck.

If you're career military, I'd think it would be hard to avoid.

My peeve is almost surely going to get me flamed, so break out the fucking marshmallows,'cause I gotta get this off my chest. For a month, my facebook news feed was peppered with autism awareness posts. I have a couple of friends down south with kids on the spectrum, and I really didn't know shit about autism, except I have a 26 year old cousin that has it, and he's completely dependent. Like, can't even bathe himself. I've never met him, though, so I still don't know shit. So I started visiting these autism pages and sites, and HOLY FUCK, those are a bunch of hostile, defensive, imperious ASSHOLES! Any time I asked a question, they called me 6 kinds of ignorant. Wtf? Of course I'm ignorant of this subject -- that's why I asked! One page had this big banner that said, "We are 1 in 50. Accept us. Accommodate us. Learn our ways." Really?! You represent TWO percent of the population (and that's a misrepresentation, btw -- it's 1 in 50 people born in 2013), and the other 98% is somehow responsible for accomodating you and learning your ways? That's like a Spanish-speaking immigrant coming to America, and not only NOT learning English, but MANDATING that I learn Spanish. I LIKE Spanish, and wish I knew more Spanish, but don't you dare COMMAND me to learn it, unless I'M the one going to a Spanish-speaking country! I'm a helluva lot more aware now. Aware that autism creates a buncha douche-canoes. Fuck 'em. No, really. Fuck 'em.
 
after responding to something said by a family member and I respond with a feisty tone and get told ' quit being so ________"

usually it's extremely hypocritical, and there's a reason I reacted the way I did, usually cause what they said was rude, out of line, said for the tenth time, or just something I would never say to them

god damn family, they're the only people who I can vocally get upset with....
 
I'm a very tolerant person, but if there's one thing that gets my blood boiling, (besides people talking and texting in the movie theater) it's people who talk to others while they're on the phone with you. I can understand the occasional response to a question being asked of them by them on the other end of the line. I'm not so egotistical that I think I'm the be all, end all of conversation. But if you call me and every 45 seconds I hear you talking to someone else in the room without so much as an, "Excuse me." or "Hold on." you had better get ready to be hung up on. The worst is when you're talking to a woman who spends 90% of the conversation yelling at her kids. Get off the damn phone and be a parent!

Sorry, but I deal with this crap a lot, which is why I hardly ever use the phone. How hard is it to say, "Hold on." or at least cover the phone with your hand? Half the time, I don't know if they're talking to me or the person in the room with them. Then when they finally do talk to me and I don't respond, they act like I'm the rude one because I'm not speaking. Of course I'm not speaking, because I have no idea who they're even talking to. And by that point, I don't care to talk to them anyway. I'm a bit understanding if it's me who made the phone call. After all, you don't know what that person has going on when you call them. But 9 times out of 10, they're the ones calling me. DON'T CALL ANYONE, UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TIME TO TALK AND PRIVACY IN WHICH TO DO SO UNINTERRUPTED! Damn.

*end of rant
 
maybe i'm weird, but most of the time I make/receive a phone call while in company of other people, I need to excuse myself, even if it's a simple, innocent discussion, I enjoy my privacy and don't want to subject anyone to having to listen to me....what drives me nuts is when i'm in the car with someone(specially if i'm driving) and they spend more than a few minutes talking on the phone...i'm a reasonable person, I can understand there are circumstances where you need to be on the phone, but that's hardly the case

the other night I went out to a bar with a friend and a pet peeve was brought to my attention:
this guy came out of nowhere and I guess he knew my friend's father, so he continues to go on for over 20 minutes with my friend, the whole time all the conversation consisted of was name dropping, oh you know jimmy Thomas? ohh yeah what's he up to? still hanging around tommy clark? does tommy still live near paul? paul still works at tony's, right? tony's son is fred, who married jenny Henderson,right? etc..... the only reason I was able to get him to stop is cause I made up a random name when he asked about something and eventually just reminded the guy he literally brought up 40 people and he took a hint

imo, that's just a BAD and extremely boring conversation(even if I knew everyone he talked about), but whatever, if that's what you're into talking about, cool...just don't fucking waste my time with it, the place was pretty empty and was only there to catch up with my friend, and this guy interrupted us in mid-conversation, I sat between the two the whole time, just listening to the garbage...I leave my cell phone locked in my car when I go out, I think it's rude to use while others are around and I just feel like a loser starring at my phone in a social environment...guess I just try to emulate life pre-cell phone/internet as much as I can, that and i'm not exactly a busy guy

I've got a hard time dealing with people who talk loudly, addressing groups of people, get over yourself, everyone wants a little attention and you're hogging it all, what you're saying is not as interesting as you think, and definitely not important

to me conversation is best when intimate, usually 1 on 1, I say something using less than 3 sentences, you respond with something less than 3 sentences, repeat, can't think of many reasons why I would need to say anything more than a few words while addressing more than 2-3 people at once

guess my pet peeve is typical behavior in social environments
 
people who need to be filled in on everything and wont let it go when you say "it's not a big deal" and they keep pressing the issue like "no seriously I want to know" and then you tell them the unimportant conversation you just had with someone and they just go "oh" and walk away.

Like mind your own damn business if it involved you I think I would have at least turned in your direction you fucking Chatty Cathy
 
When I'm with other girls talking, and they suddenly change when a guy appears. Like, they get all ultra feminine and giggly. Fucking annoying.
 
When people on websites think they're extraordinary because they've been there for years and/or have a high post count. Sad.
 
maybe they don't think they're extraordinary. maybe you just dislike them for some reason (or whatever) and you just think they think they're extraordinary?

people who jump to erroneous conclusions are a pet peeve for many...

people who write 'could of', 'should of' and 'must of' instead of 'could have', 'should have' and 'must have'.

do people not know what words mean?
