What's your pet peeve(s)?

Post » Fri Sep 21, 2012 9:28 pm

I find the noise that water bottles contained in plastic packages make when being carried to be nails on a chalkboard annoying, as well as styrofoam.

I also hate it when a person tries to use a word they don't know the definition to in a sentence.

So what are your pet peeves?

Cars have indicators. They are to let people on foot, as important as motorists in every way, and possibly trying to get children across the road in one piece, know that you are about to turn, not that you have already started turning.
UK specific: you are in a car. You are turning off one road and on to another. There are pedestrians waiting to cross. They have right of way. You are supposed to let them cross, possibly getting your big lump of eco-unfriendly tin where you want a few seconds later, but that's life.

So much this.

There's an intersection near my house, where there won't often be more than one car at a time. And people don't indicate that they're turning the way I'm walking. Then they honk at me because they didn't use their indicators like they're supposed to.

The sound of metal clashing while one is dining. There is nothing worse than hearing someone's fork and knife/spoon/plate scratch against one another.

People that tailgate you when you're already going at or over the speed limit. I'm going 5-10 over, any more and the next cop I pass will pull me over. Seriously. [censored] off.

bedroom doors being left open, or any other door for that matter.

their purpose is to let you in and out of what is basicly a square cell, and when not in use its ideal that cell remain intact.

but mostly its because i can't stand being watched by other people, more so by people in another room.

My stepdad leaves my door open when he walks out of it, annoying. I can't complain though, he pays my room and board. He doesn't do it on purpose.

I am crazy about closing doors in video games but not the real world in any Es game I am insane about it but not in real life I wander why that is.

I cant sleep if somebody is staring at me or if I feel they are staring at me it sends chills up my spine.

I had a friend who called me at like 2 in the morning. He had no blinds or curtains in his room and he said someone was staring into his room, directly at him. He was totally serious. Freaky.

That would cause somebody to get hurt if I actually seen somebody staring in my window luckily that has never happened to me. I bet that was unsettling I think thats the right word.

He was a fighter. He taught me how to defend myself better actually. I think he was paralyzed with fear. He could've been hallucinating, who knows.

Hey it would be unsettling its hard to say what anybody would do but fear keeps people alive in dangerous situations it could have been shock for an idiot looking in on him or at least he thought somebody was watching him.

The words "there", "they're", and "their" - as well as "your" and "you're" - are NOT interchangeable. "Any1" is not the same as "anyone" and "your" is never, ever spelt "ur".

People who are turning but don't use the turn lane. (When there is one.)

People who don't say excuse me when they bump into me. (Really anything that's rude face to face drives me bonkers.)

One of the daughters of my dad's girlfriend.

1. Whenever we are eating dinner, this horker is reaching for every bit of food she can get her hands on. She practically inhales the food, making the most disgusting noises I have ever heard in my life when it comes to eating. Every time she takes a damn drink, it's like her breathing cut off for a few seconds. Drink... GAAAAAAAAAAAAASP. I wouldn't mind it so much except for the fact that I have to sit next to the horker every single night and have my appetite be destroyed.

2. ONE HOUR LONG SHOWERS. Guess who's room is right next to the shower room? I get to hear her clunk around inside it, BUMP BUMP BUMP, followed by the sound of the bathtub constantly squeeking. Now, I am not sure if I was still half asleep and just hallucinating this or not, but one morning I woke up to a lot of squeeking coming from that bath tub... well, I always do.actually. But this time it was different... this time, there was... MOANING. I must add that this shower uses one of those removable shower heads.

I really like to believe I was just hallucinating that bit.



And finally, living in Hawaii makes you realize how hard it is to find privacy outside the house. Every corner you turn, someone else is walking, or a loud ass car will be driving by. You eventually learn to just live with it, but when you first get here... well, it was so bad for me that I made a thread on this very forum two years ago asking if it was natural for me to feel the amount of anger I was feeling toward all the noise and people.


Doesn't matter though. Since then, I evolved from that loser Jerry Paulson to freaking Vidicus. Traffic starts to get on my nerves these days, I just stare at it and the moon from Majora's Mask takes care of everything for me. Maybe I should summon that moon on the horker. She'd probably just swallow it though.

You probably weren't having auditory hallucinations, removable shower heads are notorious, especially with females. Just make sure the shower head doesn't have anything on it when you shower, lol.

But that is disgusting. She must be huuuuge. She obviously has an eating disorder.

Yeah I would also find this very disturbing to say the least.

She has a mental problem, and I wouldn't rule out the eating disorder. Doesn't mean I lose the right to be revolted by it though.

If the damn girl would just walk every one in a while instead of lying down on the bed all day and taking bus rides to school, I imagine she wouldn't look so.... so... URGHHH. I have no problem with chubby and fat people. Hell, I'm a weirdothat is slightly attracted toward girls with a little bit of chub, but... this thing is just... I LIVE WITH IT! It's not even that she can't help it, she is just lazy as hell.

Another pet peeve I have is people not turning the lights off after they leave a room. Especially the bathroom.

Nothing wrong with liking girls with some eat on their bones.

You may be what they call in the U.S., a chubby chaser.
