Pet Peeves ver. Fjones vs Redleader

Not open for further replies.
Sports announcers on television. They say the most idiotic things ever imagined. Most of the time, I have the tv on mute during a sports game because I cannot stand what they are saying!
 
I saw them ask the lakers GM, and I quote, "How much satisfaction do you get from this win?" (After advancing to the NBA finals).

Are you fucking kidding me? What the hell kind of stupid question is that? Then she asked Lamar Odom the same question!!!!!

What exactly do you expect them to say to that?

Hahahaa oh noes!!! 8o

:)

2 more pet peeves:
*my Blackberry, which keeps completely dying when I'm in the middle of doing something important on it :X (DEFINITELY not getting my own Blackberry when I quit my job)
*Windows Vista (doesn't really need an explanation, all those who have it will know what I'm talking about)
 
Agreed about the swine flu thingy. Overhyped to the max.
As for Windows Vista I agree with you N3o...just had no choice when I purchased my brand new Toshiba laptop in January but I've learned to work around it by searching for websites about how to maximize its usage and limit the headaches....so far, its been doing fine... =D
 
money.

money is the biggest nuisance and causer of problems i can think of. people are always contemplating or looking for ways to get money. money will cause a person to hurt people they love. people will wade through sewers infested with a whole city's waste for money. everything is about how much money you got. the law means nothing when money is involved. people die and are ignored the help that fellow humanity should provide them, because there isn't enough money.
the whole world operates off cash money.
you make money, so you can buy things than enable you to make more money, so you can buy more things....


i understand the value of currency, and how it is necessary for civilizations. i might even say that i really like money. but at the same time, i hate money. it's obnoxious. i'm sick of hearing about it, sick of it being used as a way to influence me, sick it causing personal distress between friends and family, and sick of placing so much value and planning so many of my actions on little pieces of matter that are made of cotton and linen, because some higher authority tells me that is what is valuable. money is a maximum high-security, inescapable trap.
 
This swine flu hype. Yeah about 300 people have it around my area, including one of my mates so I am getting tested tomorrow. But MAN overhype to the fuckin max. It's a flu. Big deal. I'd rather get it now before it mutates.
 
jam uh, I also HATE money. I hate all it brings and causes. I would prefer to live in a society where we all grow our own food and trade goods and services.
 
When people get "colds" in the spring/summertime. Seriously??? what the fuck. How shitty is your immune system if you get a "cold" when it's 90 degrees out???
 
:X:X:X

I start the day by locking myself out. Neither of my roommates are home. Nice move dumbass.

Oh, but wait. I have my wallet, which leads me to my next pet peeve.

What is the point of even having a lock if it can be opened in 20 seconds with a credit card? This does not make me feel very secure. :X:X

Now, fax machines. I hate fax machines. For one reason or another, my fax would not go through today. Why does to take so long to fax something!??? :X:X

When it finally went through (I think), I told the clerk no confirmation printed, and she stands there and says, "It might be out of paper."

............................. 8)8)8)

Oh, I see. I am terribly sorry to interrupt you from your crucial task of STANDING THERE DOING NOTHING, but, why don't you go the fuck over to the machine and add some paper? No? You just want to stand there?

Ok, very well. Then, I am "out of money," because I sure as hell am not paying for a fax that might not have even gone through.

Famished, I go over to Popeye's for food. To make a long story short -- It's called FAST FOOD! I'm hungry! Why does it take 15 minutes to order and receive my food!???? The fries aren't ready yet? Then please give me the rest of my food so I can eat, instead of standing here drooling over the numerous pieces of chicken and biscuits sitting there behind the counter!

Also, I would like to eat here, now. Can I have my food on a tray? No? You just put it in a bag assuming everyone is taking it to go? Being that this is Baltimore, I suppose that makes sense, since a good strategy is to get inside as soon as possible, but could I at least maybe have ONE NAPKIN? I did after all order fried chicken, a biscuit, and fries.

:X:X:X:X

On a bright note, the food was only $3.70 for some reason.

Ya, I am a huge fan of Litte Ceaser's Pizza, but they do advertise their pizzas as "hot and ready," and I'm often made to wait around ten minutes for my instant pizza.

I did devise this fun little game of "free coffee" form my local coffeeshop, though. They guarantee you free coffee if their coffee is either empty or expired (over an hour since brewing). They have two brewers, and the one is always reserved for decaf. So I'll go into the store and just wait in the cafe for the moment that they are dumping the one urn and starting the fresh brew and order right at that very moment. It takes like 2 minutes to brew enough coffee to fill up a extra large cup, so I just make sure to order right then, and then remind them of their policy. They do NOT like this, and the one girl has caught on to the fact that I've caught on. But if you're going to advertise like that, make sure that it's foulproof!

Another marketing one...and I know that it kind of is like inflation in the sense that there's really no turning back around as time moves forward, but the fact that hardly anything in America is S-M-L anymore. I don't know, but my OCD mind tends to think of medium as basically meaning the midpoint, 50th percentile, average, middle, etc. Throw in XS and XL if you will. But I'm flipping, for example, through a clothing rack in a store looking at shirts and it's like L-XL-M-XXL-XL-L-M-XL. So I ask the store worker if they have the shirt in stock in a small, and it turns out that the retailer does not even make a size small in men's shirts! Or at fast food:

Redleader: Oh, and can I also get a small pepsi?

Cashier: Did you want the large, extra large, or extra-extra large pepsi?

I mean I understand that people are getting fatter and food portions are getting bigger, but why give up the symmetry? Why not just make the small bigger, but still call it a "small"? :X

I might be slightly exagerating in this post, but it does seem like M-L-XL is just as popular as S-M-L now in our culture.
 
I'm probably going to get some boos and hisses for this but it annoys me when people post a picture of themselves nearly every fucking day. I know what you look like by now. I want to see some other people. I'm an idiot because I check to see who posted new pictures every day but for real. Do you really need to inflate your ego so much that you post a fucking "new" picture almost every day? Ugh... it really annoys me.

This is actually a good point. No booing or hissing from me.

You'd be surprised. I live in a fucking hot country, and a lot of people also get "colds" in the summertime. It has to do with extremes in temperature (super damn hot outside, than airconditioning inside...) or sweat drying on your back because EVERYBODY sweats to death whenever we are outside. Crazy shit.

I also agree. But then again, people get annoyed at me for posting in the Pet Peeves thread nearly everyday, so I'll probably get called a hypocrite here by someone.
