russiandog38 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 People who try to force their life style into mine ex: gays, democrats, animal rights people, tree huggers, people of other religions.

sroberson Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 While I am somewhat guilty of it sometimes, I hate impatient drivers who are so erratic and persistent in trying to go faster that they endanger others around them as well as making a total fool out of themselves (the rap music doesnt help...Oh wait another pet peeve!)....I make it a proud purpose of my life to try and make life harder for them by frustrating their need for speed. Also, stupid people. I don't mean people who are simply ignorant...I mean people who think they are smart and actively engage in making others more stupid. People who blissfully live without knowledge and have no desire to learn or accept a different truth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjakob42 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 For me, text conversations drive me crazy beyond belief. I'm bad enough talking on the phone, but there's just something about texting for a lengthy period of time that forces me to descend into insanity. I'm the kind of guy who only texts if I need something, or responding to somebody who needs something. But there's something irritating about a full-length text conversation. It's even worse when I deal with somebody who texts me every single day wanting to have a conversation. Then again, maybe I'm just a cynical douche... Maybe I didn't explain well enough, but there you have what is probably number 1 pet peeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidi Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I really don't like it when people seem to just casually hang around as if everything nothing is happening Especially in competitive hockey; where everything is very, very serious. It drives me crazy, and they contribute very little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroberson Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 That roommate who loves to play bubbly and happy go lucky hip hop and electronic dance music early in the morning to wake up, when he knows very well i'd rather bite the head off a thousand bats in the morning than wake up in a good mood... Oh man...time to turn on the metal... Oh, and people who write articles for tech websites and pretend they know what they are talking about when they don't. "Huuurrr...The Blue Screen of Death is because Microsoft sucks at programming! Just reboot and it will go away!"...though I guess this is an extension of my complaint on stupid people...

Fana McCloud Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Repeating myself more than once makes me fume, my mother is like the worst offender in this category. People who play their music so loud it rattles the windows on MY car too. I too hate it when people go "lol" when nothing is funny. "Heh" would even annoy me less as a filler word. People who try to jump to the front of the line I'm in without consent. Had a couple black chicks try to do this and they got angry when the black dude behind me AND myself both told them to either get behind us or GTFO. Drivers who can't decide which lane they want to be in and straddle both instead. Backseat drivers, but I think most everyone hates them. Pedestrians who don't cross at lights, it gives me way too much to worry and look out for while driving. Kids who fidget with a key chain full of keys, tap their feet, and otherwise do everything possible to make a lot of noise without talking while sitting next to you - while you're trying to read or sketch or otherwise concentrate. Fast food places that consistently get your orders wrong, forcing you to check your order every time and wasting precious time when you're in a rush. We've had a couple of these over the years, and one of them even went out of business, I guess because the customers had enough of the BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Oh ho. Oh ho ho ho. Things that piss me off? Does "the rest of the world" count? But to be more precise: 1. Judgmental people. I experienced this lately while losing weight, people thought I was crazy because I actually looked at calorie counts. Didn't lose 64lbs by not looking, and they're still fat. So. 2. Superficial friendships. While mentioning my weight loss, I remembered a couple of people I was once close to. We used to always go for lunch, go for walks, and we had all planned to actually get fit and healthy for summer. But I was the only one who actually did it, and I guess the other two didn't like that so much. They both deleted their accounts on the fitness site we joined together. 3. People that try to impress others constantly. It's so infuriating because it's usually coupled with a bad sense of humour, arrogance, sexism and an undying belief that everyone is clinging to every word they speak. 4. Celebrity news/gossip. 5. People that don't take "no" for an answer. 6. People that think they deliver justice by questioning things that aren't their business or personal to someone else. I see this a lot on facebook as well, one of my friends is obsessed with politics and shares every goddamn article on Scotland, ever. 7. When I roll over in bed unevenly and the nerves in my legs decide to try and kill me. 8. When people don't listen to me after they specifically ask for my help/explanation. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drasiana Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 People who say "I hate bigotry!" and then act like complete bigots, the "I don't care about your feelings but you should care about my feelings" mindset, people who cry FREEDOM OF SPEECH! when they're told to stop acting like complete jackoffs. So, generally 90% of the social justice bloggers on Tumblr and about a third of the counter-point cough. Brats who cry about other people committing the crime of talking about things they like are up there, too, be it someone who thinks someone asking for equal marriage rights is "flaunting their gayness" or the cross-internet whining that occurs whenever something "indie" becomes popular. Then there's "gamer culture", Nice Guys, and teaboos (weeaboos but for Britain). "Strong female characters" who are everything that actual strong characters who happen to be female are not. Also I really hate those rocket candies and people who suddenly stop right in the middle of the sidewalk, what is up with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Krystal Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 1. Use of the word "chortle" or "chuckle" to describe laughter for anyone other than old men. Women and children do not chuckle. They laugh or giggle. Old men chuckle. It's annoying because the sentence "the girl chuckled to herself" is a mental oxymoron and I keep having to do a double take to realize they are in fact talking about a female. 2. "Hey, I have this fantastic idea for a game/book/program/tv show/movie/etc. It's so good that I can't tell you what it is, YOU'LL STEAL MY PRECIOUS! Just give me $50,000 and I will graciously give you access to what is likely the most brilliant concept to ever fall upon human ears." Sorry people, once you get a job where you actually work with ideas every day, you realize the truth: ideas are worth LESS THAN NOTHING. What's more, we have more than enough of our own, thank you. The quality of a game/movie/etc is never and has never been determined by the quality of the idea or concept, but the quality of the execution. Bad ideas implemented well make millions (cigarettes). Good ideas implemented badly are a blight (MySpace). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavemonkynick Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Whenever I get done with a chore I spend 5 minutes hanging around mom or dad making sure they don't need anything. If they don't say anything I get up and go back to my room and the very second I sit down they call me. This doesn't happen often but when it does, it happens 3 or 4 times in a row. Very annoying. Also military commercials, especially navy ones, although that's more about bad memories and less about the actual ads. And then there's people that seek out things they hate on the internet JUST SO THEY CAN BITCH ABOUT IT. If you hate it so much, why are you still here?

Vulvokunvrii Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 One of my pet peeves is when you and a friend are playing a game and doing grand.

HeE DIES ON PURPOSE andd then blames us for it. EVERY.****ING.TIME. Its not MY fault you killedd yourself, and its not my friends either. We WATCHED him kill himself. What a load of crap.

Nope. Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Other sardinans who say that "(normal) Ichnusa is da best beer evr" just because is the most famous one in Sardinia. No dude, like, no, it just isn't. Have you ever tried to taste the keys of your car? Yeah, that's how bad the standard Ichnusa beer is. Even an Heineken is better than that. Totally biased opinions used as facts in arguments. Oh, and people who write articles for tech websites and pretend they know what they are talking about when they don't. "Huuurrr...The Blue Screen of Death is because Microsoft sucks at programming! Just reboot and it will go away!"...though I guess this is an extension of my complaint on stupid people... This, and all the "Durrrr... BSoD is the reason why I never used Windows in my entire life"-people I've met. I have two PCs, the one with Windows XP is like 9 or 10 years old, and I got a Blue Screen only once in my whole life (it wasn't even 'deadly' or hard to fix anyway).

Blackshadowwolf777 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Here we go: -Knee jerk preteniousness and grammar nazism in general. This is a pretty big term, but it's when people see people misusing a word or phrase a lot, and then instincively use the opposite of it, but not realizing that they end up using it incorrectly themselves. Using "whom" instead of "who" the time, using "and I" instead of "and me" all the time, or the most annoying to me is when you call someone a mexican (and they actually are a Mexican), and you get that "lolnope, it's hispanic, you racist" crap. All of those phrases are misued a lot, yes, but they still have proper places to be used. I'm not a big fan of grammar nazis like I said before. In a learning context, or something professional, like someone seeing a spelling error in your research paper, yeah it's fine. But having a casual conversation with your friend and cutting off to tell them they should have used "he" instead of "him" when you already understood what they were trying to say seems a bit excessive." Ending something really insulting or condescending with a smiley or a lol as to not come off as mean. "You're totaly screwing this up; can you do anything right lol" Someone being condescending just because they're correct. I never saw it as a blank check for being a jerk. People mistaking an opinion for a irrefutable fact. In my "opinion," I can like candidate X for president because they have a cool looking tie. That doesn't make it valid though, which is why I have issue with the whole "It's my opinion" argument. Politics in general. Not so much politicians, but people that think looking at TV News or reading sites that already confirm any thoughts they had=researching candidates. If you hate Romney/Obama/Anyone and look up only stuff that spins everything they do to be satanic, then you're gonna have a bad time. Fanboys/Fangirls. I think that goes without saying and needs no explanation. There's probably more, but that's all I can think of at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
