Pet Peeves

[Hidi]

I have a ton of hockey pet peeves, but I won't list them all, or I'd be here forever.

When the puck is open for forwards to get, and they don't get it. In any form, from not going at all, to skating then backing off before they touch it.

When the defense hover too far back for a point-shot especially when the team is in control of the play.

Low carb diets, Michael Moore, the Democratic/Republican national convention, high-def TV's, the Bush daughters, lack of wifi hotspots, the OC, the UN, recycling, the latin grammys, the real grammys, jeff that wiggle that sleeps too darn much, the Yankee's Payroll, all the red states, all the blue states, EVERY hybrid car, EVERY talkshow host, everything on the planet, everything in the solar system, and everything everything everything everything everything everything, EVERYTHING that exists past present and future in all discovered and undiscovered dimensions, and of course, Hugh Jackman.

Guess the quote

“No offense butâ€â€¦*offends*

“I’m not one to judge butâ€â€¦*judges*

“Not to brag butâ€â€¦*brags*

Coach: I want you to play left wing.

*On the ice*

Me: Uuuuh, why are you on the right side of the ice! (Sides are determined by your goalie's right and left)

*Player skates momentarily to the left side*

Me: Thank you!

*Player returns to right side*

People who lie about their ownership of or skills in any game, ever. Along with people talking about a game's details even though they've never picked it up, let alone looked it up online.

Txt spk.

Txt spk.

This so much, especially here in forums where the only excuse for poor typing is bad habits and laziness.

I kinda make a big deal of keeping what I type presentable (and stand out, colored red and all) because people judge on how others type. I mean, not capitalizing and not using punctuation is one thing, but if someone posts exclusively with shorthanded "txtspk," it does make me lower my thoughts on someone a peg or two.

That driver who tailgates you through a parking lot and when you don't pull into the street due to traffic fast enough, they start honking, revving their engine, and making gestures.

Man, that dude doesn't know how close I got to just putting my car in park and beating his little Volkswagon 4-putter ass. Or simply running him over with my GMC....

Yeah, this is where you slow down even more. :)

I really goddamn hate it when people go into a store, be it a coffee house, a make up store or an art shop, and loudly exclaim how expensive everything is. What is the person at the cash desk meant to do, hmm? OH GEE SOWWY MISTAH, I GEEV U DISCUNT FOR SHAMING ME.

The restaurant where I work is quite expensive, but the prices are all up on display, so if you don't want to pay £5.40 for macaroni cheese, chips and peas, then go somewhere else knowing that you've saved money. But, what we get is, people look at the price, order it, then when they get to the cash register they're like "that's a bit pricey for a bit of pasta and cheese". I feel like saying "well... don't buy it then?". But I know that most people do this in the hopes of getting a little "here's a discount for catching me out" kind of thing, so I just pretend I don't hear anything.

People who insist on taking babies to movie theatres, especially for PG13/R rated movies. I don't like babies as it is usually, especially in theatres and restaurants (though the latter is more me and the ability for babies to be really disgusting easily), but a g'damned movie theatre? It's one thing if it's a baby movie, but don't take one to 300 because the first loud noise that comes out of those giant speakers will make the baby cry, which is dicking over everyone else trying to watch the damned movie because you refused to do the responsible thing and stay home with your baby because you couldn't find someone to watch it while you went out, but instead you decide to screw everyone else over and potentially traumatize your child instead.

[The Shaper]

Anyone over 30 who says "years young" instead of "years old". Then you just know that they know they don't have it going on anymore, but they are trying to convince themselves that they do and in doing so they seemingly forget the fact that it makes them look like a jackass in front of others.

[RomulanNinja]

When people say "I be" dot dot dot. That's not correct!

[Hidi]

When people say "I be" dot dot dot. That's not correct!

I know it's not, but I like saying it!

Fast readers; I'm not a fast reader, and then people who skim through stuff get all mad because I don't read it fast. I find reading slower lets what you're reading soak in more, and it becomes more memorable; same with games.

People who piss all over the toilet seat and don't clean up after themselves. All I want to do is poop, is that too much to ask for...

[Vy'drach]

Bwahahaha, that made me laugh more than it should have, Doctor.

[unoservix]

that is a man of simple but profound desires

You would have killed my last flatmate. He used to piss everywhere, even all over the bathroom floor. I was sick of cleaning the toilet seat every time I wanted to pee, so I began using his laundry to mop it up. He used to leave his clothes on the bathroom floor too so using them to mop up piss was really the only solution.

Whenever someone tries to start a conversation with me by saying "This song is so addicting" or "I can't stop listening to this song".

[Nope.]

90% of people who are ex-'Insert any fandom here' and become "hurrr durrr normal fans" or even haters.

- "OMG y der is porn of dis? dis fandom sucks! TT_TT"

- "omg i liked dis but than mi friends (read as: bunch of jackasses) told me it suck so i don likeit any more!!!!!!!!!!"

- "oh no y peephole do watever teh fuk they want? u maek us luk bad TT_TT"

- "omg how daer u being urself!!!!!!!!! stop doing wut i dont like or i leave dis fandom!!!!!!"

- "oh no people jerk off to dis without beng so loud about it and im the onlee one pointin dis out? that ruins my fun in dis fandom im leeving!!!!!!!!111"

Oh yeah? How about you just stop being human?

[Drasiana]

^ Reminds me of when half the Hetalia fandom defected to Homestuck and started smacktalking the Hetalia fandom, yet started doing the exact same things with Homestuck that gave Hetalia its reputation. Or teaboos who make fun of weaboos, which is a seperate pet peeve to itself.

Then there's the part where it's people being super serious about a fandom they can avoid, or find a nice niche to.

[Sideways]

Co-workers who don't pull their weight and always find excuses as for why something didn't get done.

For example: Last night I go to work, I sell cell phones, contract and prepaid. When we sell a contract phone, they sign a copy of the contract that is kept on file for the store. At the end of the month or beginning of next month, all the previous store copies of contracts are collected and given to an office associate to be filed. A co-worker of mine took the time to collect them all up and leave them on the shelf above the filing cabinet with a note to take back to UPC office to be filed.

IF YOU HAVE THE TIME TO COLLECT THEM ALL AND WRITE THE NOTE, TAKE CARE OF IT YOURSELF!!!

Then the co-worker signed off in our CCC log that the contracts were taken back to UPC. They weren't. The co-worker lied.

People who speed up to get around you only to pull in front of you where you were heading. When I'm going home from work people love to do this. This isn't NASCAR! There is no reason to do it. Then you have people who pull around someone waiting to turn left by going on the shoulder. That's illegal, I believe.

Old people who don't do the speed limit bug me too. If you can't do the speed limit, don't drive.

Customers at work who ask If I work here, when i'm wearing a shirt that clearly says Wal-Mart and I have my company name badge on. " No, I'm just wearing this shirt and name badge for the fun of it!"

[Rusheo]

My pet peeves? oh boy ranting time e.e

• HAVING TO REPEAT MYSELF
  
• People who text and walk...
  
• People who quote things wrong...
  
• Spoiled children who cry that they didn't get an iphone when they are only like 10
  
• When someone chews their nails
  
• When people try to convert me to a fandom or religion that i have no interest in.
  
• Finally... People arguing and they don't have a valid point of view or any evidence and just argue for the sake of arguing
  
• Customers that yell at the cashier for not making their food right and don't know what they want before they order food...
  
• AND COMIC SANS

Another big one I got is:

Feeling ineffectual/unchallenged. If something goes on that is relevant to me, I want to take part and personally make an impact. This came up when gaming. Win or lose, I want to contribute and feel like I'm doing something. Nothing ticks me off more in TF2 is starting a round of 5CP, rushing the midpoint, dying, and by the time I respawn, the last point is about to be capped for the win and I spent the majority of the round dead.
