Pet Peeves ver. Fjones vs Redleader

^ LOL that was what I thought when I read that.

I hope I never have a friend who fights with me about semantics at a time like that.


Another work peeve:

The mom I babysit for leaves for work at like 8:40 am. I wake the boy up right after she leaves and then the girl no later than 9, just because it's easier to fix up one kid at a time.

Yes EVERY DAY as she leaves she asks me "will you wake the kids up soon?"

How many times do I need to tell you that I wake them up right after you leave before you believe me?
 
When someone puts their money into a vending machine, only to stare at it blankly for a few minutes afterwards trying to decide what it is they want. Make up your mind BEFORE putting in your money you retard, other people behind you aren't entertained by your indecisiveness!!

On the same note, people at the grocery store in the frozen food section. You know, the ones that open up a freezer door to look inside and then try to decide what they want? Hey dumbass, the doors are made out of clear glass for a reason...

Another one:

People with sloppy handwriting who aren't aware that their handwriting is absolutely horrid. I work with a guy like this, he always tries to take control of every task that involves a great deal of handwriting and it always ends up looking like a 2nd grade intern wrote it. One time he wrote out a gift certificate for someone at Christmas time, and that person called back a few days later complaining about how awful the handwriting made the gift look. The guy I work with acted like he didn't know what the problem was and that the customer was just being bitchy, but I totally understood the guy's complaint. If I bought a $100 gift certificate for my significant other to a respectable establishment only to have it look like a 5 year old wrote it out, I'd be pissed too.

People who don't utilize the given instance of their names correctly concerning Facebook status messages. For example:

Redleader I just want to say that last night was sooo much fun thx guyz!

No!

Redleader wants to say to everyone: "last night was sooo much fun thx guyz!!"

(somewhat) fixed!

And for Christ's sake, use an apostrophe on your own name.

Redleader's very thankful that last night went so well.
 
- when cd's skip (and i mean really fucked up ear-shattering skippin, thus ruining tune)
- when someone is texting while driving and i'm a passenger (long, drawn out convo style)
- telemarketers/automated machines and wrong phone numbers
- cell phone noise in movie theatre

im sure theres more..
 
People who can't park their fucking car straight, and within the damn white lines. Thus, you can't park next to them, because their 'truck' has taken up two spots. Fucking tools.
 
People who use the word 'utilize'. The word that you're actually looking for is 'use'. No offence meant to Red, but I just had to proofread a fairly large document in businessese that had so much nonsense like that in it.

In fact, I'll expand my peeve to businessese in general. Utilize, 'going forward', synergy, synergize (shudder) and so on.
 
Eh, it means "to make use of" not simply "to use." You're choosing to use something for something/one's betterment, so being more specific. All "utilize" instances could be replaced with "use," but not the other way around. Haha, I just have to defend this as someone who has to write like that on a daily basis :\ :X

Okay, onto the peeves...

When people refer to someone's apartment as his or her "house," when they know it's a god-forsaken apartment.

Friend: "I think I left my pen at your house yesterday."
Redleader: "I think you mean MY APARTMENT!!!!"

Whenever it is obvious to me that a person has deliberately parked like that within a crowded lot in an effort to keep people from parking next to them, I make sure to add some pin stripes to the side(s) of their vehicle with my keys. I've done it and I'm not ashamed to admit to it, when someone parks like that on purpose it's like saying, "I'm better than you and my vehicle is more important than yours is. I am herby entitled to inconvenience the rest of you because the status of my extistence and material possesions outranks that of yours". Fuck that nonsense, I'm gonna make sure you know you aren't any better than me. *sqrrrreeeeeeeeeeeakkkk*

Seriously, how can one expect to NOT have their car fucked with when they park like that?

you are a total asshole. I really dont care when someone takes up two spaces on purpose unless its like right in front of the store during a very busy time. Usually when I see a car or truck like this though its waaaaay far from the front entrance and its an obviously very expensive vehicle. I can understand not wanting it scratched up by some douche bag that doesn't know how to park within the lines or be careful when opening up their door.....

That's what I was referring to, hence the "instead they should park in the back of the lot" part of my post. If someone double parks in a part of the lot that's empty then whatever, that doesn't affect anyone else. But say, in the front parking row of the movie theater on a Saturday night? Fuck them, who do you think they are?

If some asshole parks his beemer in the front of a busy establishment thinking he can do so just because his car is better than everyone else's, then I'm going to make sure he knows that shit doesn't prevent anything from happening to his car. In fact, it provokes it.

8) how wonderful that you're here in the world to teach such a valuable lesson. i'm sure the person whose car is keyed is reflecting on what they've done wrong, and not just thinking that some asshole punk needs to be grounded.

do you take into account that a car parked off-center or over the line just may have been fitting in that way because of a previously misaligned vehicle? or does your rage assume that it's always an intentional way of saying "Fuck all you less fortunate people."

for fucks sake, it's one extra parking space. annoying, yes, but not as much as delinquent acts of vandalism. it's not even like that extra space would be yours , unless you're right there when they do the parking. and if that's the case, you'd earn some respect by confronting the person instead of losing it by assuming your role as The Masked Key Bandit.
 
This happened to me today:

A lady got in front of my on the highway, moving from the middle lane to left lane even though there wasn't anyone in front of her going slowly.

In fact, she ends up going slow enough that I need to reduce my speed.

I got angry but didn't show it in anyway, just got over and passed her.

As I drive by, she flips me off.

SHE flipped ME off because she was in the fast lane and going too slow so I passed her.

WTF? How does that make sense??
 
Some people really don't like being passed on the right. Of course, those are usually the ones who tend to drive slow in the fast lane, so fuck 'em. Who made them the speed cops?

My biggest pet peeve of late: people who drive to a bus stop, park right where the bus is going to go, IDLE THE FUCKING CAR FOR 5 MINUTES WHILE I'M STANDING RIGHT THERE FUCKING COUGHING, and then give me the stink eye when I shoulder them out of the way to get on first. Fuck you you fat, lazy suburbanite cow, if you can't be bothered to get out of your husband's idling car until 3 seconds before the bus arrives, then you get on last. Never mind the fact that you're driving past how many bus stops to get to my stop, just so that your fat, pampered ass might have a better chance to get a seat.

The worst thing is-- there are no less than three people that do this on a regular basis at my bus stop. I try not to get angry, but it's getting really hard. Especially now that it's warmer out, and there's no reason at all to sit there idling, much less drive to a bus stop. But I live in a wealthy part of town, and the fat former-soccer-moms tend to have a sense of entitlement roughly equivalent to the size of their ass.

Ahhhh. That felt good.
