Pet peeves



That's how bad it's become.


Vanguard now offers a grand total of 283 fucking mutual funds (don't get me wrong, Vanguard is— by far— the best of the lot). I wouldn't put dough with anybody else. Nowadays, Black Rock, Franklin, T. Rowe, Fidelity and the rest of 'em are LESS HONEST than the tobacco industry. They're all in the sausage manufacturing business.


The goddamn marketeers have run amok. They've got a fucking index for everything— and where there's an index, there will be a fund.

It's obscene and its a farce; that's why there's so much fucking crap out there. You've got garbage as absurd as:

Micronesian Mid-Cap Growth Fund





All of 'em— without exception— have abdicated any notion of fiduciary obligation. They don't give a damn. All they want to do is sell you something and they've got one of everything to sell.



 
This is how movies are ruined: In 1984's "The Terminator," Kyle Reese tells Sarah Connor that the terminators in the future look, act, smell, and bleed like humans. The only way to tell terminators from humans is with dogs.

Fast forward to Arnold Schwarzenegger's 2003 publicity tour for "Terminator 3" when he tells us all about how they strove for authenticity in fight scenes between two terminators by showing how these two-thousand-pound machines would fly through walls and destroy cars.

Um, excuse me? Wait just a goddamned second. If they weigh a ton, why couldn't the humans in the first movie just put a bathroom scale outside the entrance to their headquarters and shoot on sight anyone who breaks the scale? And how did the terminator in "T2: Judgement Day" manage to ride and jump a motorcycle weighing less than half the weight of the machine riding it? I presume the T-1000 in the same movie also weighed a couple thousand pounds? Then how did it fly a helicopter with a carrying capacity of only a few hundred pounds?

If he had only kept his Austrian mouth shut, none of this would be relevant. We (I) could just sit back and enjoy the movies for what they are, but as soon as someone decides to introduce science into a science fiction movie, they ruin it. "Fuck you, asshole."
 
Oh gosh let me see now. Pet peeves eh? Let me see now...hmm...just When you get the walk all shoveled and you go inside for a phonecall and you come back out...more snow. (Winter time ofcourse). I'm sure I will think of more later.
 
Being called "babe," "baby," "hun," "honey," "sweetie," "hottie," or pretty much anything other than my name or maybe E. And yes, that includes my friends, family, and even my boyfriend.

Ugh!! Pet peeves? ?? A woman who doesn't like being called "babe," "baby," "hun," "honey," "sweetie," or "hottie" !!!! Come on? What the he'll else am I supposed to call you!!??!! :)
 
1) When my sister-in-law walks about the house in just bra and panties.
2) When the dog (Pepe) jumps up on the counter after a container of treats
3) When my cousin, Walter, makes the same tired thinly veiled racist jokes about President Obama.
4) The mere fact you can't find the "Green Grenades" anymore. Its all "silos" and tall boys now. Ugh.
 
I have so many peeves based on peoples' behavior on the internet that it's hard to pick just one, but from time to time I'm given a morsel that sets me off just enough to write about it. I read this today on a photo thread in AmPics:

god!!! i froze!!! had to work really hard to stop myself from trying to lick that ass and pussy on the screen!!! goddamn awesome!!

Really? REALLY?? What the goddamned fucking hell is that bullshit? AAARRGH!!
 
Grown-ass adults who describe absolutely everything as "naughty", as if they were tittering behind their hands and blushing at the very suggestion of nudity.

It's not playful. It's creepy.

Well fuck! I say this...

...and now I won't :D
 
People not knowing the difference between "your" and "you're" and even worse are those who use "ur"

Also those who type lyk dis
 
Penis pics as AV's :rolleyes:

PM's from people who have been Lit members for years but have zero posts

Not enough coffee in the morning....like today! ;)
 
When people try to build rapport with me by giving me a nickname, or shortening my first name.

Oh and people that lie about stupid shit. Why bother with lying about the little stuff?! What a waste.
 
"Yeah, no."

What the fuck is this? When did this become a thing? How am I supposed to get your meaning when you answer in both the affirmative and the negative? I hate this.
 
People who don't keep their car windscreen clean. It drives me nuts. Oh and people who drive with their air setting at "0". I'm like, why? Do you know what all these controls do? You do realise you can have fresh air at any temperature you like?
 
I have a list. Too many to name here but I think the driving ones are universal.
I will only list a few. Props to the OP for starting the thread in the first place. :)

1. Drivers who insist on blaring the radio when driving by. Just irritates me to no end.
2. When my hubby snores. God I just want to sufficate him with a fluffy pillow. Lool.
3. Drivers who apparently don't understand the concept of yield let alone 4 way stop
4. Getting a bunch of texts from someone even after I have made it clear I Am Not Interested.
 
How many threads on this site have a title that is misspelled or poorly written? Answer: Almost all of them. Fucking retards.

EDIT: Here's the worst part: Everyone can edit the title of their own thread at any time after it has been posted. Even if you can write off the errors as quickly typed goofs, there is no reason for this fucking bullshit except for that old internet standby: laziness.
