Do you have any pet peeves or annoyances?

Post » Sun May 13, 2012 5:55 am

The most annoying thing right now is that I can't sleep! I'm on the night shift tonight so if I don't have a nap now I'm going to be shattered, but I know all I'm going to manage is laying awake in bed for a few hours thinking about how tired I'm going to be later. :(

Wanting it all is fine, but when you're given the choice of A, B or C, choose B but want the perks of A and C, thats whats wrong. People making choices and not dealing with it or at least thinking about it before making it.

Do you mean that people should deal with the consequences of their decisions? I don't see what's wrong with wanting more than you can get.

Wow, this thread has gotten more replies than I thought I would.

Another one; I don't mind it when people accidently make spelling mistakes. If they don't even try to spell it correctly, I deem them worthy to be stabbed. Also, people who choose to use abreviation when it would be just as easy to type out the correct word. Texting I don't mind if you're still using the 0-9 number pad and not a keyboard that almost every new phone model has.

"Thx u want 2 go 2 teh movies l8tr" This came from one of my friends a few hours ago. He has an iPhone. If he wasn't 90lbs heavier and a foot taller, I might just punch him.

I don't see why you would use a sppon, like do you scoop it out with the spoon and then get a knife to spread it over your toast or do you just spread using the knife?
Yes, scoop it with a spoon then either spread it with the back of the spoon or get a knife out. Just don't put the spoon back into the jam or jelly after using it for something else. And why? Well because I spend a great deal of time and effort gathering berries to make the jam, cook it and can it and making sure it sets up to a perfect texture and jel. I don't then want it cut up into pieces in the jar but rather spooned out so that the rest is undisturbed until it is ready to be eaten. And I don't want crumbs introduced into the jar either. I have a https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSylPmOPuzgf6RO6n4PqqK_rDGpK4k2v4fsmStLfLJmp2diNWMN which we use and I grew up using one as well. My Mother didn't allow me to use a knife in her jams and jellies and it stuck. Now my kids don't like folks using a knife even in their store bought stuff.

Of course I don't care how you treat your jams and jellies. But treat mine that way and I go into a rage.

People who write "ure". Now, i'm no grammar nazi, i make my share of typos (and then some :blush:), and can accept using "u" instead "you", but "ure" especially if it's "u're" is just pushing it :stare:

Crumbs in the butter tub get at me but somehow butter in the jam doesn't nudge me in the slightest.
Thats rather cool that you make your own jam, I think I may have done it once as a child.
I guess using the spoon makes some sense, though I'd rather use the knife because it gets rid of any extra lumpy bits of strawberry that are left over - my dad thinks I'm crazy for tossing them out :tongue:

Ugh, yeah. Some acquaintances of mine used to do that, coming out with such classics as "they say that having six is the equivalent of running five miles. We ran 15 miles last night HURRRR." I think I preferred the company of the acquaintance who had a taste for telling random strangers how much money he had in his savings account.

One annoyance I've been having is people speaking multiple languages to me at once. I don't mind you speaking one language, I don't mind you speaking another language, but please do not speak them both at the same time! In bad cases it's not just two languages but three! Here is an example of one woman I met with while working.

Me: "Góean dag, má bjóea tér poka ?" ("Good day, would you like some bags ?" in Icelandic)
Her: "Trjá, takk fyrir." ("Three, thanks" in Icelandic)
*continues scanning items*
Her: "Could I have one more bag ?"
Me: "Sure, here you go. With four bags that will be [insert number I can't remember here]."
*she hands me her card*
Me: "Thank you."
*slides card and hands it back to her*
Her: "Mange tak" ("Thank you very much" or "many thanks" in Danish)
Me: "V?rsgo og tak" ("Here you go and thanks" in Danish)

Really she was an extreme case but this does happen and it's highly annoying =.=

People who get all squirmy and uncomfortable about six talk. (Not that kind of six talk... ) People who act like six is evil and abominable. People who act like six is a beautiful, mystical act. six is just six!

What an interesting story Dark Knight. Anyway, so how's your six life?

A big one of mine is people eating fast food on the train. Depending on my mood it either makes me want to puke, or it makes me very hungry. Even worse is people who smoke in train stations. Even though they can't smoke in the actual trains, their stink still fills the whole cabin.
