Pet Peeves

Not open for further replies.
I have a friend who's going through a hard break-up and she's always coming to ask me for advice on what to do. So I give her an advice, she doesn't take it (which is fine with me, she's not obliged to), ends up in an even shittier place than before, asks me for an advice again, doesn't take it again, then asks me again, yada-yada-yada. I love her and I take to heart her problems and try to think hard for a good way out, but if she's not gonna do what I tell her why is she even asking me, it would be better to just tell me she needs someone to listen to her and I'd gladly do it, this is starting to be really annoying
 
Dismissive people.

If you want to continue on as queen for a day--well--you might want to reconsider your game.
 
Someone just sat down beside me at the coffee shop where I'm studying. He has a cup of coffee. On an average of about once every 45 seconds, (I'm timing him with the stopwatch on my laptop), he picks up the cup, sips, then invariably makes a very loud and annoying "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."
Why dosome people make sounds like this when they are in public?
Most people get rid of idiosyncratic mannerisms and behaviours like this by the time they are finished with high school. THis guy is older than 50. It's one of those habits foot tapping, finger tapping, wiggling, squirming, loud snuffling, nose picking, excessive scratching, lip smacking, eating with your mouth open that considerate people try not to do in public.
Edit: and audible gum chewing.

customers who dart from nowhere and obnoxiously interject while i'm helping another customer and expect me to just... stop in mid sentence and assist them.

also customers who stand on the far side of the counter, leaning over to wave me down as i'm ringing up somebody. when they complain about waiting for XXX minutes without being serviced i politely ask them to get into the growing line so either myself or an associate may help them... then they bitch about not wanting to wait longer. there's a reason we have a line!

also: customers who flaaaame like some hellish beast when i explain that the store credit card discount cannot be used on special items. ((sometimes we have morning sales with certain merch that has been heinously reduced)). it's bad enough we're selling everything automatically half off to get customers... now we're giving it to them for over 70% off and they still want more of a markoff!! wtf if you can't afford it in this economy then do without! jewelry is not a necessity... lol

also also customers who got items as a gift and try to return it for the cash. how fucking cheap can you be... a coworker/friend/family member bought you something for christmas and you're just gonna cash it in?!?!?!?!

p.s. customers who barge me down as i walk to the lunch room and demand service. i know it sucks being on a long line but honestly if they were in my shoes they would never consider working during their lunch hour. it's the holiday rush... suck it up guys

basically my job was one whole pet peeve. : )
 
"Holier than thou" dog owners. Just because your dog is so "well-trained" that he acts like an emotionless statue doesn't give you the right to glare at me for having a less-trained puppy.

That, and owners that bring their teacup yorkies on outdoor hikes in their little vests and then wonder why my lab wants to eat the thing.
 
Thai people. *sigh*

Ok, I mean the racists, hypocrites, megalomaniacs, crooks, pimps, corrupt, uneducated, and rude amongst them.

The problem is that I doubt this leaves any Thai out :(.
 
^ouch haha.. locals getting to ya? After living in Pattaya for 2 years I have to agree there are a lot of ignorant, uneducated people there and daily life can be extremely frustrating. But there are definitely a fair share of smart, decent friendly Thais around too.

What's worse than Thai people? The foreigners that live there ;)
 
Gaaahhhhhhh

People who...

  • Chew with their mouth open (immediately I lose my appetite)

  • Constantly suck at their teeth and lick around making noises (use the damn toothpick....quietly)

  • Require a plunger every other day (learn to flush half way thru....you should have learned this by now)

  • Continue to speak with their mouthful, having choked dozens of times (learn....fucking LEARN dammit!!!)

  • Assume their farts don't smell (I'm telling you, they do...and it isn't subtle, nor are they enjoyable)

  • Walk around obliviously (slowly, in semi-random directions like a drunk - causing all kinds of problems for anyone else trying to walk thru an area)

  • Stand in the middle of where people need to walk (again, that oblivious factor)

  • Ask you six times if you want something to eat or drink (thank you for being polite, but if I've said no 5 times already.....do you think the continued replying to your insistence might have built an appetite? FAIL)

  • Can't park a car (even if they manage to leave room for themselves to get in and out - not always a given - there is no space left for anyone else to get in and out of the car)

  • Give gifts to children without considering the parents' sanity, nor what to do with the bazillion other toys the child already has.

  • Talk and talk and talk....don't any of you people shut up long enough to listen to anyone else? Ever? You can't possibly have that much interesting or useful information. I know this, you've proven it repeatedly.

  • Consider a tactless and hurtful statement an expression of how much you care. (Look, I know I need to go on a diet, STFU already.)

  • Not only leave the lid up, AND the seat up, on the toilet...but can't aim to save their lives and leave piss all over the floors. (where's drunken hobo when you need him?)

  • Repeatedly ask "What?" or misquote people who JUST FUCKING SPOKE and yet insist you don't need a hearing test.

  • Nod in and out of sleep on the couch watching tv for 2 hours because you refuse to go to bed because "if you go to sleep now you'll wake up too early" (wtf 8( ).

  • Can't keep people's names straight when you look right at them....even your own children of 30+ years. (and no, this is not senility, as all other mental capacity is there...this is just out and out retardedness. Just go with something safe like "Son" or "Hey, You")


sorry....long weekend with the in-laws. :|

I hate it when people wash the dishes, but don't wash off all the detergent, leaving soap suds. Who the fuck wants to eat soap? If you're going to do the dishes, do it properly or don't do it at all, for god's sake.
 
Scattered people who never finish things they start, or who continously say they will do something but just never, EVER get around to doing it. Turn off.
 
Nervous people, or people with phobias.

People who quote Nietzsche, Freud, etc.

Activists.

People who are constantly tired.

Guys that wear their collars folded up.

Excessive materialism.

Talent Agents.

College kids talking about politics.

People who take themselves and everything else too seriously.

People who know the names of countless actors.

Mean women.

- The suffix "ish" God, I hate that so much. "I'll be there like fiveish or sixish."

- the word "coinage"

- stores that only use eco-friendly bags, but make you pay for them.

- using "they" and "their" to reference a single person

- people in the food industry that purposefully take longer when they recognize that you are in a hurry

- people that whistle/hum in public. Get off of that high horse!

- people that play accoustic guitars in public just to get attention

- people that think that they're entitled to more personal space in public because they have umbrellas

- people that wait in a queue for a while, but only open their wallets/purses and count money after they order

- people that won't accept "nothing's wrong" when it's the 100% truth

I have a strong hatred for the sound of other people eating too. Man, I've had some murderous, downright evil and grotesque thoughts about what I'd like to do to some people that crunch and slurp their food like fucking animals.

On that note, ice chewing. Ice is not for chewing, and when you do it everyone within a 5 mile radius can hear you. It's annoying. Stop.
