Pet Peeves

Not open for further replies.
people who take one hit/one sip of a drink and go around saying how drunk/high they are

i mean c'mon really?
what are you 13?
 
Let me also add sitting next to people (always guys) who spread their legs so wide that you yourself have no leg room. If you've ever ridden the bus (and I assume subways are the same), you'll understand.
 
good music recorded poorly.

ebola

Word. So many essential recordings were shittily transferred to CD in the late 80's and never remastered. I also hate muddy sounding music made purposefully to make some sort of artistic statement. Fuck that, I don't care if you're trying to reject consumerism or some shit, I don't want my music to sound like it's playing from iPod earbuds.
 
DRIVING.....
my biggest pet would have to be:
-when people don't use their turn signal and cut in front of you.
-when people absolutely REFUSE to let you into their lane, even if you're sitting dead-still on the street and there's a line of cars honking behind you, or you've already started to move into their lane and they're willing to get risk getting into an accident just so they can get in front of you.
-when people don't wait their turn at four-way intersections and just go when you've already started driving.
-when guys hit on me at traffic lights. probably the most annoying, becuse i'm forced to just sit there and stare forward, completely uncomfortable and trapped.

l.a. drivers = the worst drivers that make me want to become violent on the road. so glad i don't live there.
 
heating units that do not heat the downstairs well. THe heat runs continuously and yet it is 57 F (14 C) in my bedroom.
 
Cashiers who cannot do their jobs correctly.

My bill was 5.30. I handed her a ten and a one. She says, "Do you want the one back?"

:X:X:X

Was this the first time EVER that someone have her $11 when the bill came to 5 dollars and change?

When I explained to her that I gave her $11 on purpose to avoid getting back 5 ones, she said, "Oh, good, that works out, because we like to hold on to the ones here."

sigh. 8)



Bwahahaha!

On the other end are people who give you entirely too many bills because they are doing bad math in their head.

I end up giving them some of the same bills back. I don't say anything of course.

:D
 
agreed. get that shit ready ahead of time or deal with the extra coins.

Another pet peeve. Phone voicemail systems. It takes FOREVER to actually leave someone a voicemail message. "To page this person, press 5. To leave a callback number, press 4. When you are finished, you may hang up or press 6 for more options"


AAAAARGH! Why the fuck would I PAGE the person? I just CALLED him, so he can see that I called by looking at his missed call log! I don't know anyone who has EVER used this feature, yet it offers it every single time.

To leave a callback number? What the fuck!? Every cell phone has caller ID. What is this callback number bullshit!???

And, when I am finished, I can hang up? REALLY? Thanks automated voice; I never would have known I could do that unless I were told. Previously, I used to just remain on the line for hours on end until something happened.
 
why do girls just sit on the toilets in public restrooms?
i can't stand it when you go to the bathroom and someone is in the next stall and is just sitting there, because-
a) i usually want to ingest some drugs
b) i really don't want to pee with an audience
c) that shit is creepy! why are you just sitting there listening?

i don't understand why you would just sit on a dirty toilet stall after you've finished (unless the rest of the world is on drugs and waiting for people to leave so they can use, i.e. me) but everyone at my work does with and in the public bathrooms at my school and it's goddamn annoying.

Dude when that Exorcist remake came out a few years ago I was going to see something else with my mom, and this lady brings her kids birthday party in. Like 5-7 10-year-old girls.

I was so happy to see that the ticket seller said that they couldn't see the movie because there were to many children under age to go with just one adult.

I don't know if that is a real rule, but it should be.
 
mrs._mia_wallace reminded me of a similar peeve. When I'm using a public bathroom and there's like 30 or so stalls and I'm the only one in there and some other lady chooses the stall right next to me. Why???? Do you really want me to hear you going to the bathroom or vica versa? Shit, even if there's just 4 or 5 stalls you still don't need to be right next to me. So annoying and kind of weird.
