Pet Peeves


Gestalt

Recommended Posts

People with strong opinions about things that they don't understand.

People who debate with condescending (veiled or not) attitudes towards others and have strong opinions with negative overtones towards the individual(s). You can effectively debate without resorting to such tactics, it doesn't matter how much you may know about whatever it is being discussed - if you can't be at least respectful of the other person's opinion even if it doesn't agree with your own (unless it's something like pure hate speech, for example) then you shouldn't be arguing in the first place IMO. Attitude says a lot about how people respect your opinions and what not and if you don't have that you'll find it more difficult to convince people. It upsets me when people just can't be nice to others regardless of differences. :/

Hey can we not drag passive-aggressive counter point shit all over the forums? That's pretty peeving.

Pet peeve of the day: prosecutors that have a hard time knowing when something isn't worth pushing.

Also incompassionate welfare workers, because it's such an oxymoron.

I extremely dislike when people think an opinion is something that can go against a fact.

For example, if someone says that the wall is green when it is blue, and says that that is their opinion

on the wall...that's just stupid.

And that reminds me of something else...

Italian video ads on the Internet. I'm not talking about the ones that play before a YouTube video. I'm talking about the ones that play on normal webpages.

I personally don't mind ads in general since websites use them to gain money and support, but holy flying warshit, I still have yet to encounter an Italian video ad that starts off on mute.

Oh, and to make it worse, shit is louder than Slayer.

Oh that reminds me of another one

People who use a TYPED STUTTER completely seriously

What's a typed stutter? Surely it can't actually be what I think it is. :/

Eg: "I'm s-s-sorry, jeez..."

Another pet peeve:

When people spit in public. Now, I know sometimes you gotta spit, sure. I've done it before. But I'm talking about people that are like, hacking it up from their very toes. Like, *snort, snooort, deep mushy throaty noise, HAAAAAAACK-PTOO!*

It actually gives me the goddamn gag.

Another one is when people don't change their status and/or ALWAYS have themselves set to Busy/Away/Offline or what have you, even when they are online normally.

I'm guilty of that! There are particular people that write to me at every chance, but our conversations mostly involve them bragging about stuff I don't care about, or they're perhaps not totally sober and talk shit to me. I would remove these people, but that would complicate my relationship with my other friends, so... :/

Well you have some reason behind it. I mostly run into cases where people have their statuses set for the sake of it.

It's exactly what you think it is.

Holy shit I didn't know people actually did that, in all seriousness.

Yeah :/ You see it a lot with fangirls on their Tumblrs and stuff because they're imitating their animes or whatever, but I do remember being called in to an MSN chat to help out a guy that was having some emotional crisis. It was kind of awkward because I hardly even knew this dude but every single sentence of his was "stuttered". I don't get doing that; you're willingly typing out a speech impediment that you actually can't really control if it happens to you in person. WHY, internet people?!

So it'd be like if I typed all my sentences replacing "R" with "W" because in actuality I have trouble pronouncing it.

I sometimes stammer, but I have trouble talking at a good pace much of the time, and not mushing my words all together into a huge garble.

I stammer occasionally too because my brain tries to multitask while I'm mid conversation :/ At least on the internet I can PRETEND to be able to speak coherently.

I do the same damned thing, Dras. I tend to mix-up two different sentences into some incoherent or just plain awkward sentences.

As for a big pet peeve I have is being unacknowledged. I don't care what someone says, provided they respond. And I'm not talking dropping what they're doing and carrying a conversation, but if they're busy say that instead of just not responding at all. my mom does this all the time, too, as she gets so engrossed in her computer she becomes rather oblivious to her surroundings.

People with hard to understand accents. They talk so fast or it's so thick I can't understand a damn thing they're trying to tell me, and then get upset when I tell them to repeat themselves like a bazillion times.
