Pet Peeves

People tailgating. There's a sweep of four lane motorways close to my part of London and when traffic is tight and you are moving in close formation at fucking 70mph, then somebody about six inches from your rear bumper is a fucking headache:X

Pardon my language please. Some tit did that to me just now, and traffic was crazy, speeding up and down, cross lane carnage.

I have a secret weapon in my rear window washer jet though;)

Paranoid people that lock and bolt the door ALL THE FUCKING TIME. I swear, i walk five minutes to the corner store, and even tho you're right there in the living room watching tv, you lock all four of the fucking locks? what the fuck are you doing in there?

Maybe there are drugs in the apartment? If so, the door should be locked.
 
People at the gym. The entire lot of wholly contemptible. People are doing curls in the squat rack, they leave weights everywhere, they monopolize machines and make it difficult to work in.

Some work out with the worst form imaginable, pushing heavy weights through a limited range of motion, then brag about how many "reps" they did.

There is no point in listing them all, as I was pointed to a facebook group that has 20+ pages dedicated to this stuff. Suffice to say, 90% of the people at the gym are clueless or annoying or both.
 
I agree with every part of that post Fjones. It's taken me years, but I've nearly perfected the art of ignoring the fuck out of everyone at the gym, and then some asshat decides to fucking drop his 900 lb leg press and make the whole fucking gym shake. Kind of hard to ignore that.

It was fun watching three trainers kick his sorry ass out though, cancelling his membership on the spot. The gym is in a 'classy' downtown mall, and shit like that does not go over well with the neighbours and management.
 
"good" instead of "well" bothers me so much, people who can't stop laughing about something that isn't funny, and skinny bitches who have to always talk about how fat they are even though they're totally checking themselves out

Haha me too! There was this girl at work who used to laugh for a reeeeally prolonged period after the fact....to the point where it was kinda awkward! Why??
Very odd....
:D
 
revisiting my pet peeve of when people hear words and think they are spelled differently.. I got this in an email today: "My husband had an eye exam done yesterday and I know with the little vision cover we have they re in burst you up to $80.00 so what do I need to do to get that $80.00 back?"

sigh..
 
^ that shit cracks me up I wonder where the fuck people think the word originated from (if they even think about those things)
 
When people claim a friend resembles a celebrity when it's NOT EVEN CLOSE. Having the same hairstyle, jawline, or even worse fasion sense, IS NOT ENOUGH. It should be a PRETTY GOOD RESEMBLENCE, or it should not be spoken at all. Tonight, while at the gym, I was told by some random stranger that I look like the guy from the White Stripes. Aside from having the same hairstyle, we look NOTHING alike. And the guy then seemed almost offended when I said "I've never gotten that before."

I know ringtones have already been mentioned. But the fact that I just bought a new mobile phone, and the calmest, most basic ring it has built in still is way too complicated for my tastes. Oddly enough, I might have to buy a ringtone now to suit my (apparently boring) tastes.

The fact that the National Geographic Channel now goes by "Nat Geo" in attempt to be hip and modern. That sounds less like the classic name that once immediately started that grand music from my childhood in my mind, and more like someone I'd go to for smack.

Yeah, I usually just deal with the annoying ring if I'm going to use the alarm on my phone. It makes for somewhat of a rude awakening, but unless I wake up completely naturally all alarms are sort of an annoyance to me. I get over it after I've had some caffeine. :)

Coincidentally I saw this sign today at the humane society I've been volunteering which read: "OLA!!!!!!!!!" with a bunch of text and more exclamation points below. I was busy the first time I passed the sign and was genuinely confused about the sign was in reference to (I figured it was an abbreviation of some sort). When I went back to read it I realized it was suppose to say "HOLA!!!!!!!!!!". The text below talked about some Mexican Brunch they were having. 8) Seriously?? Isn't 'hola' like the first (and sometimes only) Spanish word people learn here in the US? Ah, Kansas. 8)
