Pet Peeves

[shyra1353]

What are everyone's pet peeves .. i know this is the similar to the i hate it when ... thread, but theres a difference ...

so ill start

- when someone has a single hair on their back .. i always pick it off .. whether i know them or not ... so if someone comes up to you at a competition and pulls hair off your back, it might just be me ...

Another thing I hate is windows. Also people who think its better than Linux. One of my programming minnions was trying to tell me how much better notepad was then vim. Need I say anymore?

[KyleGilbert45]

My pet peeves are people who dont appreciate Windows and its greatness and people who like to post in every thread of a particular Forum in a matter of seconds or minutes....

My real pet peeves are people that don't follow rules and people that have no common sense.



[EDIT]: TAs that can't speak english.

Kyle hit the head right on the nail. The PC is the greatest thing that came to Windows.


My pet peeve is when you IM somebody and they dont answer but you know they're actually there.

Wow...Mike I adore you...

My pet peeve is favoritism blinding good judgment such as when casting a theatre piece or choosing directors for the student directed plays' night.

Also, people that join robotics just because it will look good on a college ap...only to quit the team 2 months later (after they got accepted to the program they were going after)

[Jeff Waegelin]

My pet peeve is people who loudly express their opinions without ever having thought about it, and then insisting that they are absolutely right, and everyone else is wrong.

[FotoPlasma]

Seconded, Jeff.

Also, I have come to hate the noises that people make when they eat. Which is not to say that I don't make the exact same noises, but they just don't annoy me as much.

People who want to talk when I just want some peace and quiet.

Terrible teachers, terrible students, people who irrationally hate things (except when I do it, myself) and people who think reading is uncool (because it's the coolest thing since The Ramones, honestly).

[Trashed20]

coconuts......ew.......

[Amanda Morrison]

... reality TV shows, and how the boy/girl always picks the person that pretty much all of America doesn't want them to.

(I just got bored and watched 'Average Joe' - normally I don't watch TV - and was appalled at this girl turning down someone who is smart, funny, and has a great sense of humor to someone who has the personality of a pet rock.)

[MissInformation]

People who talk on their cell phones in the stalls in public bathrooms. First of all, it's disgusting, since there are lots of germs in there (think people, someone just handled that same door handle leaving the stall after completing their business that you just handled to lock the door, and now you're going to hold the phone up to your mouth? Talk about a potty mouth...). And second, it's just rude. Rude, rude, rude. I need to get a miniature tape recorder and record some really loud "bad time in the bathroom" noises (groans, moans, phltttt type noises, I'm sure you can find some on the Net...) and play it the next time I hear someone chatting away while doing what you don't normally talk about in polite company...

Am I the only one who has never heard someone talking on their cell in a bathroom??

My pet peeve is when people say, "Oh man, that's so gay." "You really think that? You're gay." I hate that - homosexuality isn't stupid ... why use the word "gay" as a synonym for such? (if you want me to go more into detail as to why I hate it, PM me and I'll rant to you ) That and intelligent people who just act stupid for attention. Argh.

No, you aren't alone, I never heard that before either.

By definenition I think of the word "gay" as meaning "happy", created by some French dude(tte) in 1895.

I got to many p.p.'s to list, but here's a few:

1. The constant "like" in a sentence. Example: "Like, did you like, watch like, this funny movie? It was like, so like, awsome, like it was like the best movie I've like ever like watched!" (It's happened to me before)

2. When people don't know how to actually chew food, and they eat like a hungry dog. Yes, chew the food, but don't chomp down on it, open your mouth as much as you can, and close your mouth again making annoying noises....it's just not right.

3. Smoking. I hate it with a passion. Yes, I do hate it...and I'm aware of what "hate" means. I have just always hated the thought of how someone could waste their life away just for a short high. (This can also be drugs & alchohol...since I hate that stuff to).

4. When people don't listen to a word you say. Isn't it just lovely when people don't care what you have to say?

5. Stupidity. "To many people are to stupid to much of the time." - a quote from a kid in my Psych. class. 'nuff said.

6. Lastly, constant down-talking. Yes, you're down, we all are. I don't want to sound mean, and I like to talk people through their problems....but if you are constantly down-talking yourself, go see a psych(ologist/iatrist). I also don't like others putting down others. It's childish, and just stupid. The way you are/look/feel (emotions) are a part of you...it's cool to be like that.
