pet peeves and irritations

He does tend to cause trouble, doesn't he?

Maybe he should change his name to MrTrouble. We'll call him Mr. T for short.

I'm still trying to figure out where he's found kinky people in the Midwest.

*looks around listening to the whistling wind* I sure as hell haven't seen any others.

1. Text talk. Without a doubt one of the most annoying things in the world! If you're too lazy to write out the full word you need beating!

2. People who stand in the middle of the grocery store isles with their carts jabbering away while holding up everyone else behind them. It's just plain rude and inconsiderate.

3. When people at my work ask me how much something is when I have a giant menu board behind me with prices listed.

4. When people notice my American accent and say "you're not from around here are you?" Yeah well spotted....

5. When a guy knows that I'm with someone but still tries to get me naked on webcam or to meet.

I have tons more but those will do!

 

[rainbowgirl1028]

when people complain about others, instead of going to that particular person to talk to them about what's bothering them.

 

[MisterSir]

About the text talk thing - I hear you, and I feel your pain because seeing people use it on message boards and Facebook gets my ire going, but when writing text messages or using Twitter, where you do have a limited amount of character to play with, I let most offenses slide.

People who actually *say* "O.M.G.!" or "LOL!" Aaarrrggghhhhh!

Add in "WTF?" and you've got the majority of my campus. Drives me insane.

You have the benefit of being able to look forward and say that in a certain number of years, you will be able to leave that environment and not have to deal with them ever again, though...

A few years? God I'm hoping more like May. But you do make a good point.

Although my little brother has started it, so maybe not.

Taking someone's word for something. I don't care if someone doesn't do what they say they will, but if they say they will do something by a certain date or time...and then they don't...they should at least have the gumption to fess up to it. If they don't, it reflects poorly on their character.

If someone says they will pay me tomorrow, when tomorrow comes, I expect them to either pay me or tell me why they couldn't. I don't want to be told to my face that you'll have the money you owe me on a certain date, only to find out you never intended to have it, only intending to duck me yet another day. This will piss me off more than if you had just said you aren't ever going to pay me.

You say you will come over and help me with something on Saturday...then when Saturday comes, you don't show up. Do you expect me to call you and remind you that you said you would help me? If you make a commitment to do something, doesn't keeping your word mean anything to you? I understand forgetting things, but after a few times, that pattern means you don't give a shit about my time.

Bottom line...if you can't keep your appointment, don't make it in the first place. If you can't do something, don't say you will. Don't join, if you never intend to participate. Sorry, saying "I forgot" only works once or twice. From then on, your credibility sucks.

I think this is mine. Saying you will do something and not doing it. I've been left standing waiting for a ride to somewhere for hours and by the time I get home and call, they say, well, we were there obviously right after you left, you should have waited. What, waiting three hours wasn't enough!! Jerks.

Making promises you know you cannot and/or will not keep. I try my best to only make a promise I know I can keep.

People who say "Trust me"...See, I automatically don't trust them, if they have to say that. Can't help it as I've been burned one too many times.

People who take up one and a half parking spaces. Four cars taking up enough space for six, because they've left a ton of room in front of their car so they can just drive straight out.

Parking is short enough around the hospital so please, move your car up a bit closer to the car in front so I can get my car in behind you - it's not that hard to reverse a little back to the curb so you can turn to get out, if I can do it so can you!!

 

[missginger2177]

Shouldn't professors who do everything on computers actually know how to work one? I know it's a novel idea; but that way when we are supposed to be having lecture, we can actually have a lecture and *learn* something.

Not that you can learn a whole lot when all they do is go over what they talked about on Friday. Fuck it, I'm going to shower and maybe the world will be brighter then.

i grew up with a Mother who always blamed us kids for her being late to EVERYTHING... even when we are all piled into the car waiting for her... we get there and she would blame us... that aside it has made me a pretty punctual person.
if you say you are going to be there at X time, be there. i hate being late because i know the other person may be organised around me and vise versa. if i organise my day around you and when i will see you, the least you could do is be there when you say...

admittedly i'm a little too punctual for things like parties etc where they say come round any time after 6 and i get there at 6...lol i'm working on it

a few of the others mentioned like stupid text writing, extra slow drivers and spitting... not cool... i've always been courteous to learner drivers though *thumbs up*

The way when you buy a new piece of electronic equipment, it is hermetically sealed in-between that horrible rigid plastic packaging - it drives me insane.

I bought a new USB storage device today and do you think I could open the damn thing? Fuck I could. Impervious to fingers, teeth, nails....and because I had neither a knife or pair of scissors on me, I was literally weeping with frustration after around 20 minutes of unsuccessfully trying to open it.
Finally managed by using the tip of a screwdriver and ended up taking a nice chunk out of my thumb in the process.

People putting their flashing "hazzard" lights on when it starts raining. The rain is enough of a distraction and torrential downpours get me nervous enough, then to see 4 lanes ahead of flashing red lights...ahhhhhh. I hate driving in Miami in rain because they seem to all do this there where as only some do it in other parts of the state....weird.

I had never come across this until I visited Canada....Scary!!!

 

[Cattypuss]

LOL if we did that in the UK we'd find our hazard lights were never off LOL.

1. People being late is my biggest pet peeve. I cannot STAND it and nothing will piss me off faster. If you say you are going to show up at 5 you damned well better or I am leaving without your ass. I used to have a friend who was perpetually late. I finally broke her of the habit (at least when she was meeting me anyway) by ditching her when a bunch of us had tickets for an amusement park. I was holding the tickets and told her to be ON TIME because I wasn't sitting in the driveway waiting for her. She didn't believe me til she got to my place a half an hour late (and no she hadn't called to say she was running behind) and we were all gone. She called me, highly irate over being left, and demanded that I refund her the price of her ticket when we got home. I refused and by the time we got home she'd had enough time to cool off and never said another word about it...and she was never late when I gave her a time again either.

2. Lousy drivers...USE your blinkers if your going to change lanes in front of me and if you cut me off DON'T immediately slam on your brakes.

3. People wanting to touch my child in public. She is MINE get your fucking hands off her unless I've told you you can touch her. I don't know you from Adam/Eve and have no clue where your hands have been or what nastiness might be on them and she is NOT public property.

On boards when a newbie tries to participate and start a thread then in short order someone posts a link to a old thread that more or less is the same subject matter.

Weather intensional or not , that hijacks the newbies thread. If the subject matter has been covered and you don’t feel like posting in the thread why not just pass it by instead of basically posting “ oh yea we already covered that subject long before you came along , so , there’s that.

New Lurkers and newbies join and view threads daily. Why discourage them instead of encouraging fresh views , new posters and new comments other then usual suspects that have covered everything under the sun after being here forever and a day.

New posters are the life blood of any board.
