What are your pet peeves?

[RoadVirus]

Please....no political stuff. We have other forums for that.

Here are mine:

•I really hate the idiots on the Weather Channel and my area's local weather guy/gal standing in front of a weather map that i want to see. Actually, to give the Weather Channel crew credit, they are getting better. They use mouse pointers instead of standing on screen.

"As you can see, the storm system is..." Um...no i can't see because YOU ARE IN THE WAY!


•People who write/draw/highlight in books. I hate that. And i'm not talking about books like the ".....for Dummies" books. You expect that in those books. I'm talking about books like novels. I bought Dante's "The Purgatorio" at a library sale and someone had drawn a "Kilroy was here" face in it.

You wanna doodle? Buy a sketchpad or a coloring book!

People that spend all day attached to an iPod, thus rendering them ignorant of their surroundings, specifically people who are attempting to pass them on escalators of narrow thoroughfares i.e. - me.

Pedestrians who pay no attention to the vehicles they should be observing when crossing the road. I've lost count of how many times I've given some idle halfwit a mouthful after standing on the anchors to avoid killing them. Coincidentally, these goons are usually plugged into an iPod.

People who don't read the news or keep abreast of current events. They're usually the sort of people who are more concerned with the sports pages than breaking headlines.

There'll be more.

 

[007]

People who say "ant" instead of "and."

 

[California Girl]

People who drive Minis. Fucking motorized roller skates.

People who talk over other people. STFU and wait.

People who don't listen.

Pedestrians who think they're immortal.

People who talk loudly into their cell phones... we don't need to hear your side of the conversation.

People who answer their phone when you're talking to them.

 

[hjmick]

People who use the words "road" or "virus" in their name...

 

[BDBoop]

Inanimate objects that fight back.

 

[California Girl]

Moronic posters who are incapable of arguing on topic and resort to dragging other posters personal lives into their ranting.

 

[Swagger]

Computer cables that tangle themselves into knots over night. I put my laptop charger neatly the drawer along with various other cables, and the next morning I'm struggling to seperate them. It's almost as if they're conspiring against me.

Good to know you are so easily controlled.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Tailgaters.
Wimmen Tailgaters.
F*ckin' wimmen tailgaters on their damn cell phones oblivious to the world!

I'm getting to that age where everything peeves me.

Fortunately, I hit that age where I can't hold a good rage for love or money, as a counterbalance.

They're mating! Shut the drawer and leave them alone ffs!!

 

[PredFan]

People who have a parrot in their avie.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Those who conduct protracted, complicated banking transactions at the ATM. Either just get cash or go in the bank.

 

[PredFan]

I have too many pet peeves to count.

Something from just today:

Two fat women walking slowly down the hall, side by side, blocking the whole hallway.

Yup. It's like they are trying to conduct a hostile takeover from the ATM machine.

 

[American Horse]

Calling people who are clearly murderers "the alleged ... "
We could at least call them "the accused..."

When people in the media or being interviewed call those who have murdered masses of innocent people "the gentleman who ... "
They might consider saying "the person who ..." instead.

I second that. I also hate when people yak on their phones in a public restroom. To me that is inconsiderate to those who are also in there and to the person who is on the other end of the phone line too.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. I also hate when people do not wash their hands after using a public restroom.

You are joking, right? You are the most consistently butthurt prat on the board.
