What Are Your Pet Peeves?

[guyfromNY]

1. People who live in the United States and are unwilling to learn the language. I realize that English is not an easy language, but if you are here longer than a month, at least know the very basics. Know how to count, the days of the week, give your phone number, not stare at me in a daze when I ask for your last name.. (I guess you can tell this is kind of personal for me)...

2. People who casually greet me with "What's Up"?? What the hell am I supposed to say to that. Either respond with "Nothing"...or tell them whats up when they don't even want to know to begin with..

3. People who call me Dude, Bro, Man or anything similar.

4. People who are cheap.

5. People who don't like animals.

6. People who act as though being religious sets them above people who are not.

7. People who do not signal before making a left turn (that enrages me).

8. Republicans

9. People who believe the world is ending and pack the supermarket when there is an inch of snow predicted.

10. People at work who gesture for me to "Hang on" before waiting on them so they can finish their cell phone call. (I often walk away and ignore the person so that they are forced to call me over. A response of "Are you ready now"? always gets the message across"... and no, I'm not a waiter.

[tombastep]

People who pretend that no one cares about them even though it is quite the opposite.

[USEDCAR]

When people text or talk to you when they are bored.
When people are rude to service workers or people at a restaurant You know we make your food?
People who can't control their children and you see them running around in stores.
People who walk the streets late at night and its hard to see them.
Girls who just keep having babies and does nothing with her life.
Straight couples who break up every single week and it always facebook drama no one wants to see that shit.
People who text/talk on the phone and drive
People who can't be single they are always in relationships
When new cellphones don't work right during the upgrade period
Potheads- Its fine that your smoking pot but do you have to talk about it every single day and take non stop pictures of you lighting up? You don't see cigarette smokers doing that?
Facebook picture trend "like to do this do that" and it always something disturbing kids with cancer, Deformed animals, Us troops. U would think people would be smart enough not to like the pictures.
When people steal eachother youtube videos

Currently...

Twink/twink lover bashing, or ANY body type/preference bashing, for that matter.

Facebook picture trend "like to do this do that" and it always something disturbing kids with cancer, Deformed animals, Us troops. U would think people would be smart enough not to like the pictures.

Seriously. I saw one recently and the person who posted the picture said "You support domestic violence if you don't like this". All I wanted to say was fuck you. These people believe that posting a graphic picture of an issue and hitting the like button means you actually stand for something.

The word troll being thrown around so much.

I have road rage.. So most of these will be auto related...

1) Road rage.

2) Privileged drivers who go all the way to the end of a merge lane, and maybe a bit of shoulder, and then force themselves onto another car in the belief that the other car values their property more than the guy cutting him off values his. *NOTE* Also happens at toll plazas at the end of EZ pass lanes.

3) Not-so-privileged drivers in front of me who ignore problems with their exhaust systems.

4) Gainsaying.

5) Overweight/elderly people revealing an unsightly extent of flesh.

6) Grocery store people at 5 p.m.

7) Walmart people 24 hours.

8) Parents who bring obnoxious 2-year-olds to restaurants.

9) Pedestrians who take too long on the x-walk.

10) Large groups of people who scatter in a parking lot.

11) Plastic packaging that is impossible to open.

12) Cooking instructions that don't work (under/overdone food).

13) Coworkers who do not clear their bad food from the kitchen.

14) Animated avatars.

15) Neighbors who pump their bass.

16) Kids who light firecrackers at 2 am.

17) Pressing the handle on toilets that take several seconds to drain.

18) Clutter.

19) Oak trees with enormous roots wrecking sidewalks (and the people who thought it was a good idea to plant them).

20) Prevailing winds that blow barbecue and laundry fumes into the house.

21) Stores that do not keep inventory.

[CottonBolus]

Girls with high pitched voices. Oh gawd, they could be irritating.

[CupidBoy]

Girls with high pitched voices. Oh gawd, they could be irritating.

me and my sister talk to each other in annoying high pitched girl voices sometimes because it's fun!

[loki81]

the phrase "my friend" annoys the fuck out of me, even when used by my friends.

[RonR18]

1) Trolls who like to bait/harass me.

2) Trolls who think they're smarter than me.

3) Trolls who are stupid enough to think it's okay to insult people as long as they're "just expressing their honest opinion."

4) Sociopaths who are merely killing time while waiting their turn in prison.

5) Having to worry about being targeted by violent home invasion robbers from hell.

6) Mosquitoes that sneak in my house and bite my ass.

7) People slamming doors.

8) A pregnant lizard getting in my house without me having a clue how it got in. As that means a scorpion could use that entrance next.

9) Humidity from hell.

10) Only 30 seconds of local TV news for every 3 minutes of commercials.

11) Female newscasters and reporters on TV with screeching voices from hell.

12) Droughts.

13) Angry haters from hell who nurse petty grudges for 100 years.

14) Stuck up, snobbish people who think they're a million times better than high school graduates, just because they went to college for a few years.

15) The voice in my head that's constantly telling me to get off my ass and get to work.

[RonR18]

People who call me 'mate'.

I hate it. Even when it is people who I am actually friends with say it it pisses me off. Same with people who I don't even like. It's like I'm not your friend, why are you calling us mates.....

RE: "It's like I'm not your friend, why are you calling us mates."

Because "friend" isn't the only definition of "mate." It's also defined as, "An informal and friendly term of address to a stranger." For example, instead of saying, "Hey buddy/mister/man/dude/dickhead, do you know what time it is?" It sounds more friendly to say, "Hey mate, do you know what time it is?" And you're more likely to get an answer with the latter.

[AllMan]

I'm gonna kill three birds with one stone:

1) People who take these annoying self-pics and post them in their profiles, like this:

stop being so cheap and hire a real photographer--or at least get a friend to take a decent profile pic for you...

2) People who, when they take the pics, have all this shit in the background; it's like, if you're gonna take the "mirror shot", at least don't be too lazy to clean up!!!

3) People who, when they take the pics, are looking into the phone, instead of looking straight ahead--I want to see your face/eyes, not you looking down (idiot); it's like if you are gonna take the generic "mirror pic", at least practice a bit where you can look straight ahead and still be able to remember the location of the "shutter button" and take the pic properly

[tombastep]

Having to call maintenance for seeing a couple of roaches, then asking roommates to be more cleanly and then find a pot full of rice on the stove that sat overnight.

Yeah, I want to live alone at this point.

[refujiunderground]

you guys already mentioned most of them in this thread. i'm too lazy to fucking quote what you guys said and cosign. WARNING: DON'T READ IF YOU HATE PARAGRAPHS OR LONG READING. THIS IS A RANT!

if there's one thing that drives me up the wall that nobody i don't think anybody here mentioned is when people come over to me asking me for money. i don't look like a fucking millionaire because i'm not BUT yet there's some people outthere that come up to me asking for cash. my father did that shit to me this morning. i currently am NOT working and am looking around for a job despite not doing that around the clock when i'm wake BUT even when i had a job, there would be people coming around asking me for money. i would say that my father and my former classmates in catholic school made me stingy with my cash where i'm very cautious with who i give my money too. hell, i don't even like to give my money to the street to beggars even. there's some of them which really need the dough because they don't have it and some people that are just plain out fiends. but it irks me to see people who are working coming around and asking ME for money. as a kid, my father used to steal my money from underneath my bed and various hiding places and he was working the same job he does now. leave it to him to tell you how much of a hard working guy he is where he takes care of us BUT he's using us to take care of himself. he can't even handle the simple responsibility of paying for the roof over our heads considering that that's the ONLY bill he's paying for. my mom been holding down everything for him from his clothes to the light bills and phone bills that are on his name YET he'll diss the shit out of her. IT PISSES ME OFF.

i hate when people use all the food that you or someone elses buys such as ice cream, milk, cereal and etc and those same people don't have the decency to replace what they ate up. like my mom went away to help my grandmom who suffered a stroke 2 weeks ago and there was no milk. i left my job on the 8th and i wasn't too comfortable with spending my money since i don't have that much to toss around like that. tell me why my brother and my father couldn't go out and buy some milk or the water that we all drink up? my brother is notorious for that shit too. he'll eat up whatever that someone else buys, ask to chime in with someone elses take out dinner and then when it comes to him, he don't wanna give anybody squat or buy what he ate up. like i can't stand that shit. if you eat up all the chips in the house, get your ass to the store and buy it back especially if you got the dough. don't tell me any of that shit about how you're broke when your ass can buy a 6 dollar lottery ticket 5 times a day or you can spend money to the movies to chill out with some girl that you were trying to get ass from and ended up getting friendzoned with. fuck that.

i hate it when people don't wash their hands after pissing and then go around to touch things that other people use. i was on the gym on wednesday with my homeboy and my brother after a chest/tricep and stomach day. i'm taking a piss right and washing my hands. i see this dude who is a regular who just came in, taking a piss and then strolling out the bathroom to workout. he was ready to grab all the equipment, the weights, the barbell or whatever pissing who knows what is on his dick to everybody else in the gym. just because you don't give a fuck about yourself doesn't mean you have to pass whatever you have that is killing you or ruining your life right to me. WASH YOUR FUCKING HANDS! my father tried to pull that bullshit in here one time right in front of me and i wasn't having that especially if you're touching the remote for the downstairs tv and everything. you better wash your fucking hands.

people who have other people that say they are attractive as in "you're hot, you have a pretty face, and etc", getting sex on the regular without even trying or approaching anybody to get it, they have a boyfriend or have guys/girls hitting on them and etc BITCHING about not being attractive. if you have issues with yourself, you need to work on them BUT please don't try to group yourself or act like you can relate to people who have never had the pleasure of being told by others the things you've been told, have had people approaching them to be their boyfriend or to have sex, and etc. personally, i'm one of those people that is one of those people that in general people don't find attractive, doesn't have people approaching him to be their boyfriend or to have sex and has guys hitting on me. i think it's an insult for someone who has NEVER had that happen to them to try to relate to what i've experienced. it's like the wealthy guy talking about being underpaid when he's making 50 dollars an hour expecting someone who's making 8.60 an hour to relate to his pain. i mean no disrespect when i say this but SHUT THE FUCK UP. whatever issues you have with yourself, you work on it. i'm tired of people saying this shit about themselves and then saying that they get ass on the regular or people offering them modeling contracts then talk about nobody shows me love. sometimes, i look @ dudes like wtf is wrong with you.

people who try to act like they're the shit but then turn around and then pull the "woe is me" card. it cracks me up seeing the bodybuilder in the gym that acts like he's the shit, struts around like he owns the gym, looking down on dudes talking about how he's so much better than the next dude and etc then turning around talking about "i hate my life and i want to die". SHUT THE FUCK UP!

long phone conversations or phone conversations. not a phone of those. holding the phone to my ear and listening to what somebody says for 50 minutes or an hour is more harder to do than bench press. i'll recover from doing the bench press BUT i might not recover from hearing someone yap a whole lot about nothing for 50 minutes. just keep it short and sweet. value my time.

people on the bus that don't know how to get on the bus and get out the bus especially if they don't have anything wrong with them. if you're pregnant, an elderly person, someone who is obese, have a broke leg or no leg, then i understand. if you're some 20 year old that has nothing wrong with you taking like 5 minutes to get your ass on the bus and you use it ALL the time, then you need to keep your ass off the bus or go at a time when it's not busy. value my and other people's time that have places to go. just because you have nothing to do doesn't me you have to hold everybody else up.

[Adrock-JD]

Phones/electronic devices with bright screens being used in movie theaters during the movie.

Music in porn.

Dogs barking in the neighborhood.

Lawn mowers that sound like Lockheed jet engines.

Slow moving people in the grocery aisles.

TV commercials that crank the volume up.

Car insurance commercials. They're on every five minutes on every channel. (except premium channels which is why I subscribe to everyone of them)

CNN has gotten so bad with commercial breaks that I can't watch anymore. Two minutes of a story and then, "I've got to cut you off, we have to take a short break..." and then five minutes of commercials.

Guys who say they don't believe in labels. That means you're gay or bi because straight guys never say that shit.

[Adrock-JD]

Oh, how could I forget TELEMARKETERS!

The companies should die and go to hell.

[Just: Mills]

People who drag their feet whilst walking.

[M10000]

They should look in the mirror when they are taking the photo, not the viewfunder

people who talk while yawning

[Just: Mills]

Spoons and glasses left in the sink, when there's a dishwasher in the room.

[AllMan]

People who walk in front of you, in groups of three or more, and talk while walking---taking up the whole width of the hall/isle. Or people who walk down the stairs/in the walkway ON MY RIGHT SIDE (THEIR LEFT).

It's like "get the fuck outta my way you dumb shits, or at least walk fast or something---you may not have any purpose in your lackluster life, but I have places to go, time is money!" and "Jackass why are you walking on the wrong side of the walkway/stairs? Pretend you are driving and follow the same rules---stay to YOUR right!"

[cgymike]

People with no humility or those who have such a baconian ego they can't see beyond knowledge and believe knowledge really is power.

[xbuzzerx]

The term "meh."

[tombastep]

Cleaning.
....

[AllMan]

People who can't pronounce "nuclear" and "specific"...they pronounce it as nu-cu-lar and pa-ci-fic; drives me crazy!!! And most of the time, these are the stuck-up, so-called "educated" people doing this!!!

[GregKII]

I honestly hate farting.. it's disgusting, and smells gross. I know it's natural, but the people that make a huge, elaborate deal about these things annoy me! STOP. I hate people who smack with their food. Lol it sounds so gross--okay the food is good, and you're enjoying it, but don't advertise it to me sweetie. Call me crazy, but I hate sensitive fat people that are rude to people, but get upset when you say something. I knew a girl like that in high school, DON'T DISH IT IF YOU CAN'T TAKE IT!

[AllMan]

People who can't pronounce "jewelry"...they pronounce it as ju-ler-ree; drives me crazy!!! And most of the time, these are the stuck-up, so-called "educated" or "sophisticated" people making this faux pas!!!

[eastofeden]

Professional victims...I can't breathe when they are around me. Literally...I have had to gasp for air before on many occasions.

[AllMan]

Guys who try to show dominance in a meeting by controlling the handshake. I will not submit to you, so don't try to show dominance by giving and over-the-hand shake!! Let both of our hands be equally vertical, not asymmetrical like the guy in the right of the pic...if I see you coming in for the "dominant" gesture, I will call your ass out on it and refuse your handshake.

[AlmondMilk]

1. People who live in the United States and are unwilling to learn the language. I realize that English is not an easy language, but if you are here longer than a month, at least know the very basics. Know how to count, the days of the week, give your phone number, not stare at me in a daze when I ask for your last name.. (I guess you can tell this is kind of personal for me)...
.

It's funny how when we say in order to learn a new language (other than English) you have to immerse yourself in the culture. You'd think that them living in America they'd learn some English. :|

Hmmm.. I can't think of too many on the top of my head but
1. People that constantly talk during a movie or make comments. I admit I talk once in awhile, but throughout the movie is a bit much to me.
2. When people text or email and expect a response that very second
3. When people decide that they need a new ringtone in a waiting room.

[Red Storm]

slow drivers

people that don't have a pic available? please. most people have a cell with a cam and can take a pic of you at least. meh.

People that have a pic from the early 90s or late 80s. What do you look like now?

slow drivers

clutter

Men that use the terms "boi" or " man pussy"

Happily committed/not looking for anything but friendship men that message you saying " wanna meet? "

small talk

" linebacker type" " rugby player built" men, when in reality they are morbidly obese. Just say so, rather than trying to be something you are not.

self loathing homosexuals

people that talk during a movie

people that text during a movie

[AllMan]

" linebacker type" " rugby player built" men, when in reality they are morbidly obese. Just say so, rather than trying to be something you are not.

hahaha...I like this one. I know exactly what you mean! I have this fat ass that keeps emailing me using the term "former semi-pro football player build"---the guy is like 270 pounds! Dude I don't care what you were in your former life...this is 2012, take ownership of your obesity!

[trawler69]

Journalists. I have never read an accurate report about anything I have been involved with, this to me says that I can trust nothing I hear from the media yet we rely on them to inform us about the world. I feel misled and manipulated. At least I would if I actually took what they say as fact as so many do.

[AllMan]

People who use their ethnicity or race in their online screen name for personal gain or exploitation to get attention from potential hookups; for example:
1) someone will use an oxymoron that is catchy like "bigdickwhitedude"
2) in a place where Asians are minority, you will see "CuteLilAsianBoy"
3) in a racist town where black guys are a PRIZE or guilty pleasure, you will see "10inchblackmonster"
4) somewhere where Hispanics are heralded as magestic gods, someone'll use "Latinlover4u"

Drives me fucking crazy...can you be more original in your screen name choice?? Stop being lazy and/or trying to win over people. I mean, jeez, there IS already a spot in your profile for your race, you know?!?!

[Beachguyj]

People parking in my assigned parking space

People being in my way like leaving their carts in the middle of the aisle so I can't get by.

[refujiunderground]

people who park in two parking spaces instead of one especially when a parking lot is busy.

[USEDCAR]

People who flood facebook and instragram with these ecard pictures. Facebook is a social website i want to know whats going on in your life not you liking pictures to the point of me deleting you or putting you on hide. And instragram i would rather see a picture of your lunch and dinner then you posting pictures of quotes and sayings.

[AWP82]

Having to shit more than once a day.

[Wuvable Oaf]

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone doesn't have their personal voicemail greeting set up. It drives me crazy when I get to voicemail and it's that stupid automatic message that only says the phone number. It bugs me at work because I make a lot of calls to confirm next day appointments or trying to book appointments and I always unsure if I'm calling the right person. I wish people would do that greeting that just says the name. I hate that uncertainty if I called the right person or not.

Also I hate it when friends joke about when you see a guy and they call him your boyfriend. I'll say for the most part it's teasing, but I just don't like that label put on it so soon. I guess it suggest how people who jump right into relationships and imply that I'm that kind of person who would rush into something like that without thinking. Although I can be a pretty guarded person when it comes to my love life, only had one relationship so far. Maybe it bugs me when others get really noisy about it...

[eastofeden]

People who ask for help but don't really want it.

On the last gay board I was on...there were a few people who changed their names and would post the same relationship "problems" and sit back and collect advice and then a few months later they would do the same thing under a different name. I really wish they would have said..."I WANT SOME SYMPATHY...PLEASE GIVE ME SOME"...I might have even given them some....

People who don't take responsibility for their actions

In conjunction with the pretend advice seekers (or psychic vampires is what I call them)...I would tell them pretty much to own their part in it so they could get some closure and move on...nice and simple (and good) advice...and these guys would come unglued and start insisting to me that they were the VICTIM....err...OK...(BARF)

[jessee78]

I have to say that people that hang out with other people just because they have money is another one of my peeves.They are just looking for a piece of the pie.Any person with a little knowledge will be able to see right through their motives.Then again..the one with the money can be turning the situation around..Using ... I mean hiring.. you to do their "dirty" work.HaHa some people are so predictable.

[JOHN B]

I work in retail. So most of my Pet Peeves are customer related.
---People who bring their little dogs with them EVERYwhere.....They plop those puppies in a cart and just wander the store for a while. For petes sake, keep the dog at home now and then.. The separation will do you both some good.

---People who have to have a conversation on their cellphone, WHILE they try to also ask you questions and have a conversation with YOU...at the same time! I once said to such a customer, "I'll tell you what you need to know, after you are done there" (pointing to the phone)...with a smile on my face, thinking I was making it easier for her. Boy!...She just flipped me the finger and walked away! lol...

[jessee78]

People that hang around you cause you have a little extra cash.Mooooches..Hate them!

[peeonme]

1. men who worry about cock size, I understand it as a teen, but get over it. (small and proud)
2. people who finish a sentence or interrupt others just because they have a big mouth and can over talk you.
3. those who show a disrespect to others, as in I will lean on your car at work, when I see you I still won't move, I had to get all macho and tell an asshole to get the fuck off of my car yesterday, I hate getting out of my typical easy going character.
4. assholes who act all hurt because I yelled at them for leaning on my car, boo fuckin' hoo!
