Do you have any pet peeves or annoyances?

Post » Sun May 13, 2012 1:21 pm

People who wear the same jacket every damn day. Buy two jackets, and alternate wearing them, at the very least.

And MLP haters. I don't care for the Halo series, but I'm not seeking out Halo related things and expressing my disdain for it in the comments.

People who constantly complain about bugs in open world RPGs. If the devs tried to test every possible sequence of events, the game would never be ready for release.

I was editing this text as I read it. I am now fighting the urge to bold mistakes I found... I'm a grammar/spelling Nazi. :(

It also annoys me when people say they're grammar/spelling Nazis, yet make painfully simple errors as they're doing so. This wasn't directed at you, Seti. :tongue:
What's wrong with my grammar/spelling?

Hmm, also, excessive public affection. I don't mind hugging or giving a quick kiss to my wife in public but I don't need a makeout session. The only non-television related reason I can think of as to why one would want to do this is because they think of their relationship as a social status/standing and are using it to impress others. Unfortunate, because there's a reality check that will come sometime down the road.

Yes, this too! Really irks me when I see some bloke dry humping his girlfriend on the street. Basically screaming to everyone - "Hey, strangers! Over here! No, over here! Yeah, look at me and my girlfriend. You'd never guess how much hot, sixy six we have at home. I feel the need to show you, just in case you weren't aware."

Also, people that wear a vest and a beanie hat at the same time. What's up with that?

My jacket is comfy and practical, im not going to waste money and buy another one.

I cant speak for everyone but, I dont hate MLP. I hate its fanbase. I dont seekout MLP related things, MLP is like godwins law. It seeps into threads that have no damn link to MLP. The hate is justified.

Only its justified. Because some devs clearly did no testing what so ever. See Skyrim's lag as a fine example. Its been a problem in previous bethesda games, still nothing done. There is no excuse. Add in entire questlines being unplayable, hell the MQ can be unplayable. No game is bug free, but thats no excuse for some games to take the piss when it comes to bugs.

Attention [censored]s *talk about how you feel like [censored]*, *people ask whats wrong*, "nothing".

This, especially people who try to be random (i.e "sometimes I lie down on the floor and pretend to be a carrot") and then everyone says things like "OMG ur so random hahah!".

Also people who always go on about "be yourself no-one can change you xxx <3" Comment section: nearly all the replies say "Love this <3"

Tardiness. Especially arriving late to appointments. Especially when someone is going to pay you for arriving and doing a job.

I bought ACs today. The installers were supposed to come this morning. When did they arrive? 16:30. How long is it going to take them to install the ACs? 6-7 hours. What just happened to my Friday night plans? They died.

I'm tempted to put on some music, strip, and start dancing naked around the house, just to make them feel a little bit of the discomfort they've inflicted on me today.

I was just reminded of one of my big ones today. The idiots on the road that slow down from 80 to 60 mph when a cop is nearby. It pisses me off to no end. I almost got into two accidents because of it. If you're going to drive fast, do it and don't be a wuss.

People who think they're an expert in whatever topic they're talking about. People in my office are very guilty of this, especially when talking about medical stuff.

People who laugh out loud after they say anything, funny or not. Again, the people in the office do this and all of what they say isn't funny.

There's more, but these just came to mind since they're happening right now.

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

I like do not use commas for some reason. People say it is stupid annoying and stupid.

^These things make me cringe.


I hate when everypony looks at you when you walk into a room, so much so that I have skipped classes to avoid this.

I hate it when people assume GPA can be used to measure intelligence. I also hate that IQ tests are often used as indicators of overall intelligence, when test only a few types.

I think flat brimmed baseball caps look kind of dumb.

I hate it when friends run up to me and say "Dude, you should start wearing skinnies (a.k.a. skinny jeans)!" No, if I wanted to wear those things, you would see me in them right now.

My biggest pet peeve is someone using a knife to get jam/jelly/preserves out of a jar. Use a spoon people and don't cut my beautiful jams into ugly bits and pieces. Makes me want to chop arms off.

People lining their pockets, just because they can, and then smile at you as if nothing is wrong.

Not just politics -illegal to discuss, but they're all slimy proto-plankton pond scum, but the lot. Everyone in a position to svck at the tit of public funding is guilty of it, it seems.

All forms of advertising, and as an extension, marketing managers. Who are only a fraction better off than the following.

Hence, investment bankers.

Anywho, there's more along that line of reasoning...

Yes. They try to talk me into gauges too. I already have my ears done as a like them; one piercing on the ear lobe, and another at the upper cartilage. If I wanted to look like some African tribesman, I would. But I don't, so don't other me with it. Not exactly sartorial, but that is the second most common fashion 'advice' given to me.

I still love them though.

Ironically I can count on one hand how many times I've seen someone use a spoon to fish jam/jelly out of a jar.

Good thing they aren't living in my house. I'd teach them better or they would lose limbs.
