Do you have any pet peeves or annoyances?

Good thing they aren't living in my house. I'd teach them better or they would lose limbs.
So if you don't use a spoon in summer's jam in her house, you lose limbs.

I posted before but here's another one or two...

People who talk on cell phones while shopping or in a checkout line or checking out.

People who have detailed private conversations out loud on cell phones in a public place.

People who use big words because they want to sound smart... but then use them incorrectly. It's funny, but it's also annoying.

How sesquipedalian of you.

Grammar nazi's that dont take the time to use some judgement, that correcting a person in the next line of the thread is rude and embarrasing to the person, and also the person may have a problem, or just may have poor grammar, honestly i dont mind being corrected so i can learn from my mistakes but please be polite enough to silently PM me to not display it to the whole world that i made a mistake.

People who tell me im wrong, when i know that something is a fact, but they refuse to even take the time to check their facts.

Plus people with certificates, diplomas or degrees who think that the peice of paper makes them an expert, where i come from as long as you do the listed work and fulfill the course guidelines you get the paper even though you may not have actually learnt anything at all other than how to use the system to your advantage, while others study and do research and ignore the course guidelines and end up knowing the subject back to front but dont get the paperwork to show for it.

Fencesitters, when you know something or someone is seriously wrong, but dont want to not make waves so you can still stay freinds, your not my freind if you dont back me up.

Yes i dislike smoking as well, its as though they think its a right specifically given to them, and if you dont smoke you have no rights, im olde enough to have had to put up with the many years of going everywhere and all it was, was a smoke filled atmosphere, and now its a joy to be able to go places without smoke, i wont even visit freinds who smoke, i wont ask them to stop smoking in their own house but i choose not to enter while they do.

People with dogs, who constantly say my dog doesnt bite, till its bitten and mauled someone, then you hear all excuses, its never done it to my family, pity the dog never knew it wasnt supposed to bite people, or that maybe the owner should be smart enough to understand the nature of animals.

People who act like violence from a dog is the dog's fault. That really gets to me. It's never the dog's fault. It's the owner's fault for not teaching the dog properly.

My old dog would bite people, mainly because it didn't know how to, it seemed :P

At the very worst, he'd drool all over you. :yes:

I strongly agree with that one. Story: My younger brother was four years old at the time and his babysitter brought him to her mother's house one day while running errands. She leaves my brother alone with her mother's large dog and comes back to find his nose shredded apart by the thing. She was fired, my brother who was barely beyond the age of a toddler was rushed to the emergency room and received nasal reconstruction surgery, and though the surgeon did a great job, he'll have the scars on his face for the rest of his life. He's 10, now, and his nose has held up really well looking like a perfectly normal nose, but he still has to live with the tissue scars and, due to some web that came about from the surgery, my brother, while lying down in certain positions, is the loudest snorer I've ever heard.

Did the dog just do it for no reason, or did he do somthing to it? Same thing happend to my cousin beacuse he punched the dog in the eye. Well not exactly it bit his arm and tore that up.

People who shout at the tv. Rugby, movies, news, whatever. God I hate when people do that.

I am guilty of this. Especially during horror movies, I always feel the need to loudly tell the characters how stupid they are. Sometimes I even yell at the newspaper.

One of my biggest peeves at the moment is when people won't allow you to have an opinion because only theirs is the acceptable one. I've been noticing it a lot with one of my friends lately, he complains to no end about the music I listen to, but if I as much as go 'ugh' when he plays a song I don't like, he has a fit and starts saying things like "how dare you" and "it's brilliant music." When I try and explain to him that I feel the same about my music, he refuses completely to allow this and just stonewalls me telling me "no, it svcks." It's the only thing that really irritates me about him and when I try and explain it calmly he refuses to acknowledge my points.
(music is a very, very big deal to the both of us so it's never just a minor squabble, it becomes a full on screaming match XD)

Also, eating noises. I can't stand them. I know it's hard to eat silently, but people who slobber away with their mouths open making loud breathing noises at the same time drive me crazy. I always have to tell my mother to eat with her mouth closed.

Slow drivers. I don't care if they don't have to be anywhere on time, I'm late so pull the [censored] over and let me pass, then you can dawdle on your merry way.

We don't quite know, for sure, as nobody else was in the room with him, but my brother currently claims and has always claimed he was just petting it while it was eating. I believe him, though. He's always been really docile with animals and he was a pretty articulate 4 year old, so I believe he can recall the event clearly enough. We know it wasn't rabies, as the dog was put down and tested, and it seems reasonable enough that dogs may be defensive enough to attack somebody or something bothering them while eating, I suppose.

My biggest pet peeve is when people think they're a "computer person" because they how to use the internet. And think they know more than you.

Here is mine on that subject; People that double-click hyperlinks. I don't know why but this just sends me into near http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2ZeIoLz8FE with their keyboard and mouse. Not really, but I think of this commercial whenever they do it.

Another one of late; "breaks immersion" in posts on certain forums. "teh pore grpfics brake immersion forme" :stare: :swear: :slap:

Oh, and carnies. Small hands... smell like cabbage...

Ya, most dogs dont like to be messed with while eating. Especially the more agressive ones, some dogs are just total [censored]s though about biting people.

That happened before, with the people who dont wear headphones. My friend one day forgot his and wanted to show me a song. The [censored]s who have their [censored] on max volume told him to "turn that crap off". Now I wouldnt mind, if they actually used [censored] headphones. Apparently though, only their music is acceptable for the enitre bus to be forced to hear.

I hate that too, I knew a guy who wouldnt shut his mouth when chewing, it was loud an annoying. Is it o [censored] hard to learn basic manners.

Ooh, do you know what really, really bugs me?

The internet. It's diminished my spelling and elocution significantly... All because I've been mingling with, by and large, really unremarkable spellers and communicators. Reading this, you might assume I'm a snob, and I can't really disabuse you of that notion, except to proffer the explanation (and defence) that my ability to communicate via the written word is something in which I place a lot of pride.

:shrug: The subject in school that most held my attention was English. Throughout my life, I've thought that there's little more remarkable than the ability to communicate impeccably and eloquently, especially when one considers how difficult that task is, in the light of how imprecise and unwieldy our methods of communication are. If that makes me shallow, pedantic and a snob, so be it. I, instead, like to think I'm passionate. :D
