Pet Peeves

Not open for further replies.
I detest every part of clothes shopping. I avoid it at all costs, and when I am forced to go, I hate it. I don't know what looks good, what doesn't, and it is hard to tell what is going to be comfortable once you wear it for hours.

Pants are especially frustrating. They have 32 and 30 but not 31 ???? How does that make sense? They have tons of 28 and 29, LOTS of 30, LOTS of 32, but rarely can I find a 31. Who the hell wears 28 anyway !???

to make matters worse, 30 is not always 30, and 32 is not always 32. Different brands have different sizes. It is very frustrating.

welllll............i have a tendency to wear clothing a couple times before they officially get thrown in the "wash" pile. So if its dirty enough to wash its DIRTY. Especially now that i'm HUMONGOUS (8+mo. preggo) hardly any of my clothes fit me anymore-even my maternity clothes are getting too small!! So I definately wear things a few times before I wash them.
 
Fjones-- check out indi Denim. They do good work.

Agreed on the hating clothes shopping. I usually go out with a very specific idea of what I want, and can never find it. So I get pissed off and either get nothing, or something that I didn't want and looks terrible.

Agreed. It's always like that. If I want a S there's a million XS and M. If I need a 24, they only have 25s. But if I need a 25, there's only 24s and 26s... and if I need an XS, there's only M and Ls...

I love clothing, and window shopping or just shopping for fun is great, but when you actually have something you need to buy (need a pair of jeans, or a white t-shirt) you can never find it.

I also HATE when you are the only person in a small store and only one person is working there... and they just watch you as you walk around... and there is a fine line between being bitchy and not helping customers, and helping customers TOO much. I hate when sales people come up to your more than once to ask if they can help you with something, and I do not want to hear them tell me I look great in an outfit; if they are taking the time to do this, they must be making commision and are therefore bullshitting me.
 
Agreed. Also, why the fuck do they not always get to some of the clues???? Can't they just do them all and then cut out some of the idle time so that the show fits in half an hour on TV??
 
Pet peeves:

People who say "irregardless"

13 year old white wanna be gangsters living in mommies mansion

Rap

People who can't deal with violence as a reality

People with too many morals

People who think world peace is in the near future

People who think all canadians say "eh"

People who can't find their country on a map

People who smile too much

People who lie about shit to make themselves seem cool

Fat people calling other fat people fat.

So on and so forth, I could probably list about 50 easily but I'll stop now.
 
I hate:
pretentious diction
ironic and/or self-effacing humor
self-referential humor
amusement at flying through levels of abstraction

heh....okay, really, my pet peeve is that it's hard to approach most anything with sincerity and glean unadulterated authentic meaning.
 
How yahoo makes you write "@yahoo.com" when you sign into your mail.

Why is that necessary? People from aol.com or msn.com or whatever cannot sign into their accounts through the yahoo.com portal, so what it the purpose of making everyone type those extra 10 characters?

Agreed. I am not a big fan of unnecessary work. In fact, all forms of unnecessary work are pet peeves of mine.

My stove has to be set digitally (the days of the turn knob are long gone I guess). It starts at 350, and has up and down arrows for every 5 degrees. So to make it 450, I need to hit the up arrow TWENTY FUCKING TIMES!

Worse, it cannot register presses the way a video game button could, rather, there has to be a slight delay or else it will not count, and I end up hitting it 30 times.

SO first it makes me press a button 20 times, then it makes it take as long as if I had to press it 40 times. WHY?????

^ And cut out The Clue Crew?!?!? No, I need to see someone walking on The Great Wall and telling me worthless facts before a clue for me to feel I retained the full Jeopardy! experience. 8)

It ruins the pace of the show. Jeopardy is about one thing and one thing only - knowing cold, hard facts about the world. I don't want to know anything about a "clue crew," little more about contestants than their names, and nothing about Alex other than that he's the boss.

Another Jeopardy Pet Peeve - When they assume that Alex understands that they want the same catagory, for a different X-hundred.

There's a pattern.

"catagory name"+ "for" + "dollar amount of clue."

That IS Jeopardy. Anything else, well f-you.
 
Major pet peeve (they do this on wheel of fortune also) -- when the contestants talk and they are not only boring, but also long-winded. Shut up already, haven't your friends told you that this story is BORING?

They should have a sign that lights up that the contestants can see hast says, "SHUT UP, you are boring people!
 
Did anyone see the guy on Jeopardy! whose story went like this:

Alex: So tell us how Sesame Street Spanish helped you get to France?

Contestant: Yes, we were in Spain at the trainstation and all we hear was "Paris" and "Ocho" so we knew that we needed to go to train 8!

Alex: (pause) Interesting. Moving on...

LOL...soooo lame.
 
That is just sad. These are JEOPARDY contestants. Surely they have SOMETHING interesting to share?

Haha! Nice. I love these Jeopardy annoyances. Another one, when Alex seems so smugly all-knowing. Especially when someone mispronounces something in French. He just looooovves correcting them.
