Pet Peeves

**Kilala** · 05-10-2009, 09:58 PM

I browsed through and I couldn't find something like this... Forgive me if I have been my blonde self and just gone past it. It's been known to happen u.u

So! Pet Peeves! xD
I'ma paste the Wiki definition:
A pet peeve (or pet hate) is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to them, to a greater degree than others may find it. Examples may be; poor table manners, sloppy kitchen hygiene, smoking, grammatical errors in written passages, inconsiderate driving or lazy co-workers.

We all have them... and sometime throughout the day something bugs us. Like an example for me. Last night I was trying to get some sleep. And at 1am the start construction over the road. My room was shaking. The inconsiderate behaviour of workers at 1am bugs me xD Of course they were doing their work - I shouldn't grumble.
Another pet peeve of mine is people chewing in my ear. @_@ Drives me INSANE! GRRR ;;

I'm a miserable sod and get annoyed about a lot of things! Even in this list i've probably forgotten stuff... so here I go...

Bad Manners
I use common courtasy for all, and expect the same in return!

Dawdlers
If you are a young kid or an OAP, I will excuse you for being a dawdler. I like to get from A to B in my pace, and I don't like being held up!

Pavement Hoggers
Get... out... the...WAY!!!

Bitching
I do it too, but I hate it when people bitch about me! It's also why most of my friends are male...

Dog poo on pavements
If you are prepared to have a dog, you must clean up after it! People are so inconsiderate!

Attention Seekers
People who always have a problem worse than anyone else and always want sympathy. Or they complain about their appearance just for people to say "oh you're pretty/ not fat etc".

Close-minded people
People who want you to listen to their oppinion but won't acnowledge yours.

Slackers
People who expect you to do all the work and they do bare minimum. Also include people who think you should run around them as they can't think or act for themselves.

Nail-biters/tooth-grinders/foot-shufflers/bone-crackers
The noise is unbearable!

**Led Zeppelin** · 05-11-2009, 07:09 AM

My Pet Peeves: =3

People Who run their nails down the chalkboard
The noise is horrible....it makes me get goosebumps and everything...=(

Laggers
Sure people walk very slow sometimes but when theirs a whole group of them and you can't get past it drives me insane xD

People who yell at you when you're right next to them
Sure if you're hyper it's alright nothing bad but when you're constantly yelling in my ear to get me to look at something you just did gets to be....annoying... =]

....All I can think of so far...I'll edit this post if I think of anything else =3

I'm annoyed by people who ask for things for Christmas or birthdays. It's selfishness that causes people to expect presents. I mean, I know that I'm getting gifts from people, but unlike others, I'll love anything that anybody gets me. It's not the gift itself, it the fact that you were thought of by others, and important enough for them to buy a gift for you.

Also, by people who are constantly asking for money. Seriously, I lent this guy fifty dollars, and before he even paid me back, he asked me for another twenty. Now, being the nice guy that I am, I offered him the money both times, but whenever I remind him that he owes me $70, he just shrugs it off, goes on with his daily life, wasting nearly $200 a week that he desperately needs on cigarettes. If it wasn't for those damn death sticks, I'd have my money by now.

As well as people who speak loudly. I'm quiet myself, and I hate having attention brought upon me. I always have. It's just the way I am. Then somebody goes and raises their voice while speaking to me, as if trying to draw attention to our conversation, it really pisses me off.

**OceanEyes28** · 05-11-2009, 08:35 AM

Stone throwers, black-calling pots, etc.
For instance: I am in stage combat. We are doing a choreographed sword fight to get certified in three weeks. ****in A. So I'm a bit concerned that my partner is NOT taking this seriously at all. He's awful at memorizing this stuff, and while I still occasionally forget, I am then reminded, and it's all good again. He is constantly messing up. We will do something, he'll **** up and correct, we'll do it again.... AND HE'LL ****ING **** UP AGAIN. I'm trying to diffuse my absolute irritation by kidding around a little. But today, he says to me, "Let's get serious right now." And when I smile a bit, he does not. At all. He looks at me like I'm the one holding us back. So I ****ing humiliated him. He did not know his shit at all, and I was ON. He ****ed up over and over, and I made him do it over and over until he said he needed to stop because he was too tired. And I was not nice about it. Mother****er does not tell me to "get serious" when he hasn't done his own ****ing work.

****.

Also, a girl in that same combat class. She is a pet peeve in and of herself. She sucks. Shitty in every way. Terrible fighter, terrible actor, I don't know why she's here.

I could go on. But I really just needed to get those two things out of my system. I feel better now.

**Unknown Entity** · 05-11-2009, 02:41 PM

People touching/going though my stuff without asking/me knowing.

My room is organised. Usually an organised mess, but I know where everything is. When people borrow something, it ruins the natural order of my room, and I can't find whatever it is I'm looking for. Also, it is decent to ask someone if you can look for or borrow something. I don't mind if they ask, because then I know who to blame if it goes missing. ^^

Liars and bullies.

I hate being told lies, and I've been told so many of them I know when to sot one. No one can lie to me, because I'll catch them out by listening to their tone of voice, checking for any unusual expressions on their face and by body gestures.

I have no time for bullies. I do as I should have done when I was a kid and either stand up for myself, or report whoever it was.

No toilet roll.

When people use the last of it, and don't put a new one on knowing that the last one is gone. It also pees me off when they put it on the wrong way.

Chavs.

Obvious reasons. Living in Brition, we got loads of the teenage, breeding buggers. Loud mouthed, bad mouthed little screw balls.

Snobs.

I hate it when people stick their nose up in the air at you, as if they are somewhat more important than you are. I'm more than a snob to be honest when it comes to not being a chav, but I'd never stick my nose up at someone to prove I was better.

Students.

I'm one myself, and I hate students. Whats with the boozing 24/7, wearing skinny jeans (which are horrible and make your butt look MASSIVE), faded/worn/tatty tops, canvas shoes, and chucnky sun-glasses? And don't get me started on the living off pot noodle and microwavable meals lark either.

People making noises when they eat.

Why for the love of the food you are eatting would you destroy the moment by making noises like... "Mymmm, arghmmm, slurp, glug, grahg...." Sounds likes something weird is going on.

Chewing gum.

Yeah, I chew gum. But people chew it with their friggin' mouths open! Making weird noises... Yuk!

Also, if you tred in it on the street. Or get it on your clothes/hair. Eww...

Scratched games/CDs.

Nothing worse than wanting to play something which refuses to work.

Strong coffee.

The smell makes me gag. Why do you need coffee so strong, it wakes every builder in a 10 mile radius to wake up?

Preachers.

You are religous. So the fudge what? You are making noise on a lovely day which I'm trying to enjoy. Pee off, and tell someone who cares.

**Fate** · 05-11-2009, 04:49 PM

Toilet Paper
For some reason, I can't stand the toilet paper being in the wrong direction! I get so annoyed when it's going backwards instead of frontwards!

Tags
Tags are so tempting to tears off! Whenever I see one, my hands just automatically go there to peel it off!

Cherry-Flavored Stuff
I don't care, I hate cherry-flavored stuff! I love actual cherries, but the made ones are disgusting!

Gum On Things
I can't stand people sticking their gum on chairs, desks, etc. I think that it's a disgusting habit!

Scratching Metal
Ooh! I hate the sound of metal scratching! I just can never, ever stand that screeching sound!

Paper Airplanes
I hate it when kids make paper airplanes in class and throw it around. And when it hits me, I get to mad! Once, I took one that a kid made, crumpled it up, tore it into bits, and threw it in the trash can!

AND MUCH MORE TO COME LATER!

**KeybladerXIII** · 05-11-2009, 05:08 PM

MY PET PEEVES:

Bullies: You know, those people that mess with others to act "tough" and "badass".

Chatters: Look, if we don't know each other, don't try to drum up a random conversation, I really don't care...

Stuck Ups: Just because people consider you "hot" doesn't mean you should flaunt around like a retarded peacock, thinking you're all that.

Out of Stock: You know those times when you're looking for a specific thing and can't find it in the store...yeah, those times.

Happy People on a Bad Day: If I'm ticked off and depressed, I do NOT want to see people acting like everything is perfect in their life they don't have a care in the world. Spend a day in my life and you'd think twice about acting like a joyous idiot.

**Kilala** · 05-14-2009, 01:36 AM

Okay! So for my official pet peeve list. Prepare thou eyes!

Chewing gum (with mouth open) in my ear. This is a huge annoyance to me. Nothing worse than someone smacking their gums in your earhole =X It’s fine when its not belting through your ears at a thousand decibels.

Neck cracking. I can almost tolerate finger cracking… but not neck cracking. Especially in a quiet atmosphere. I remember when I was sitting my A2 summer exams, the guy in front continuously was cracking his neck. ARGH.

Finger drumming. On occasion it’s fine… but when it’s non-stop I can’t bare it -.-

False modesty. Need I say more? When it’s genuine it’s fine x3.

Littering. People who deliberately chuck their rubbish to the floor. Have they no consideration? ;;

I’m so fat. Oh.. my.. God. One of the most frustrating things in life is when a thin/normal weighted person says they are fat. They know they’re not.

High volumes. For example.. you’re in a study hall. You are dutifully revising for an exam. But then someone puts on their laptop on full volume while listening to their tunes.

Rudeness. Is it ever necessary? You can always have some manners no matter what the situation.

That’s all I can think of for now… <_< Hmm…

**Sinin** · 05-19-2009, 10:52 AM

Selfish People

Driving TOO Fast

Loud talking

Being too close to me

FEET EW! Wear some closed toed shoes please!

Being a hypocryte

Thats just some...

**OceanEyes28** · 05-19-2009, 01:45 PM

Being told I'm not very pretty. Over. And over. And over again. Or that I'm not "leading lady material." Or that I won't be taken seriously. I didn't ****ing ask. But thanks.

**Chez Daja** · 05-19-2009, 04:51 PM

Obsessive religious entities:
If you're a Christian, or a Catholic or a Jew, I don't care. I will like you and be your friend. But if you're going to go on and ****ing on about that, then you'll probably lose my respect fairly quickly. I enjoy the company of people, not the company of people who will judge me for the way that I live. I am pefectly fine as an Agnostic and don't want to hear otherwise. I don't like those weirdos on the streets who try to convert you as well. There was a guy actually standing on a bench, yelling at people about how Jesus loves them. There were other people giving people fliers about it, too. That's going too far.

People who go through my shit:
It's not cool. If you want to look at my stuff, just ask me. I'm not an overly material person, so if you want to borrow something, just ask! Don't take it without telling me, then put it back later! I always know somebodies' been there. Luckily, my family aren't usually like this.

People who take things far too seriously on the Internet... or in real life!
This really annoys me. The other day, I was having a heated debate with another girl, and because we disagreed and I told her she was acting stupid, she immediately thought I disliked her. I don't dislike ANYBODY. There are people I like less than others, but chances are, I just have no feelings or thoughts about you whatsoever. Differing opinions on one topic doesn't mean that I would judge you fully. And a lot of people don't seem to realise that. That goes for web and real life. Surprisingly, I really hate it when I upset somebody. But if somebody is going to become ridiculous for no reason, then I will sometimes point it out. Still doesn't mean I'm trying to upset anybody, jeez.

Talking too loudly:
Especially in public. It's so disrespectful when I'm on the bus and suddenly a phone rings and somebody starts screaming into the receiver. If there's no noises covering your voice, then you have no reason to act like a freaking banshee.

Eating with mouth open:
Seriously, anybody who does this without having a good reason to [somebody with a mouth or painful tooth problem] needs to relearn manners! It's DISGUSTING! Close your mouth!

People who act depressed, even when there's nothing wrong:
If you don't have a mental illness, and if your life is perfectly okay, stop acting as if you have nothing and nobody. It's ****ing annoying and embarrassing to listen to. EVERYBODY has SOMEBODY who wants to listen.

I generally agree with most of the people here. Except the bone cracking thing. I have a joint problem and have to crack my joints in order to gain relief from build up's of pain.

**Crazy Chocobo** · 05-19-2009, 04:54 PM

Well for starters, one thing that pisses me off is people who pick scabs. It's ****ing disgusting for starters and they are there for a reason and will fall of when they're ready. Want to know something even worse? I work with children and I know of one girl who eats them. It's charming. ><

Rudeness, somebody else said this but I can't stand people who are rude to you for no reason.

People who bully others, I see it a lot where I work and it angers me a lot. I can't stand seeing other kids being bullied by other little jerks.

People who turn the television up too loud when watching it. I do it myself but I only turn mine up if the other tv is extremely loud in the lounge room. I have no idea why they turn it up that high, I think they're deaf.

Hahaha, I like the people who said bitching as one of their pet peeves. You're doing it now by complaining about all of these. XD

**Wolf** · 05-23-2009, 09:53 PM

Liars

I hate it when people lie to me no matter what it's about, it could be anything between what the score of the game last night was to someone cheating on me and lying about it.

Know-It-Alls

People who always go to ridiculous measures to prove that they're right about something. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but seriously, if you're gonna take something so far, you're better off keeping it to yourself.

Nosey People

People that I invite over to hang out with that go through all my stuff and walk around my house without me knowing while I'm busy doing something, like going to the bathroom or answering my cellphone. Are you for real? The reason I invited you over was so we could hang out, not so you could poke around my house and take stuff that doesn't belong to you.

Procrastinators

People who always wait until the last minute to do something. I have done this before, myself, but I don't do it often. I remember last semester I was doing a group project for one of my classes with another person. We had to prepare a paper and a PowerPoint presentation for the class. I did the PowerPoint and my partner was supposed to do the paper. I kept asking my partner if he was working on it at all, and every time he would say. Oh not yet, I'll do it later. Well, the due date of the project came and I ended up presenting the project on my own. I didn't have a paper so all I did was present the PowerPoint. I actually ended up getting a decent grade on the project, and as for my partner, you can imagine what he ended up getting.

Well that's all the pet peeves I can think of at the moment.

**Sean** · 05-24-2009, 04:19 PM

Slow drivers in the left lane.

Cubs fans.

Ignorance. Stupidity.

People who confuse you're with your, and use y, r, u, k, and various other one letter "words." People who don't use proper capitalization and/or punctuation, and type in run on sentences, and/or in all capitals.

People who lack the balls to tell you to your face if they like/dislike you. These type of people generally play buddy buddy with you until your back is turned, then they begin twisting the knife, shit-talking you at every chance, but avoid conflict if you approach them about said shit-talking.

People who get upset at me when I'm a **** to them because I dislike them. Don't want me to be a ****? Then don't ****ing talk to me like I'm your friend and care about your life.

Emo kids. Just go kill yourself already, no one really cares that you kissed a boy and think you're gay, or that you're a girl and kissed a girl and liked it..... and remember, it's down the road, not across the street.

**Kilala** · 05-26-2009, 02:18 AM

I've just arrived in Switzerland after a long plane journey. I have a few more peeves I rediscovered xD.

You're innocently sitting in your seat on the plane. You're trying to sleep to pass the time. And people behind you are so inconsiderate!
I can't stand when on something like a plane when people a) shout b) kick your seat over and over c) Attempt to take your handbag (not cool ;; ) d) Manage to somehow take the last pasta dish before you.

I also can't stand people who operate trolleys and run them over your toes. Okay sometimes this is an accident... but what really peeves me off is when they can't say sorry... and they just laugh ;;.

The plane thing sounds annoying. I've been known to yell at people on buses for pushing or shoving others.

And the trolley thing is horrible too. When my sister was little, she was smacked in the face by a woman pushing a trolley around. My mother started screaming like a banshee and probably would've ripped her head clean off, had she been given the chance.

**Aerif** · 05-26-2009, 01:13 PM

Please be aware that the following post may be offensive to several people. Luckily, however, these people are probably not populating Internet Forums. And those who do will just have to read it and accept that I'm entitled to my own opinion.

People who can't admit to being wrong

Okay, so I've just proven you to be wrong and I've given evidence, the person beside you who isn't your best mate is agreeing with me and the person who is your best mate is blindly agreeing with a retarded argument. God, pride is something that too many people have too much of.

Lieing when it's obvious your lieing, and then lieing about lieing

If you're going to lie at least do it properly. For goodness sake is honesty that difficult a concept.

NEDs

AKA Chavs. People who should not be allowed to breath or reproduce, suffering from a self-induced mental-retardation that is somehow conisdered normal within their 'teams'/'massives' or whatever.

The "Do you want to 'get' me?" crowd

The term 'get' is definetly a regional thing that could be replaced with 'snog', 'make out', or 'french kiss'. Basically it's usually teenagers who approach strangers of the same age and without even talking before, asking to 'get'/'snog'/'makeout'. I actually wish there was a tongue-transmitted STD for people like that.

The Old Firm / Anti-Catholicism - And the way the media deals with it

For those who do not know what this is, clicky here or here. That's right, sectarianism between religions that came from the same root, in a 1st world country. Although the media and Wikipedia attempt to make it seem as though the sides are just as bad as each other, a Celtic-fan is 8x more likely to be attacked in a Sectarianist assault than a Rangers-fan, something that the BBC tend to feel the need to keep secret.

I'm half-Scottish/Irish because my dad's cousin's uncle's fiancé was Scottish/Irish

It tends to be Americans who do this a lot. Sure, a lot of Americans do have ancestors from Scotland/Ireland, but in most cases there hasn't been a person born in Scotland in an American family for 4 generations.

Rude children

I don't want to sound boastful or anything but I always respected my elders as a child. Unfortunatly children just tend to ignore you nowadays. Brats.

American Health-Care 'System'

The lack of nationalised health-services in the USA is the biggest reason why I'd never consider becoming an American-immigrant. The people who believe that they should have a nationalised postal service and not a nationalised health service don't seem to understand which one is more important for a happy country.

Right-Wing Politics

Not everyone gets the same chances as everyone else, even 'The Great Gatsby' which was published in the 1920s seems to understand the fact that people should be helping each other and especially helping the most vuberable within our society.

Busy Londoners

No offense to Entity or anyone else living in London. But would it kill you to smile or apologise for bumping into me in the street. I was in London last month and it was like being in a city with a million identical people who all seem to be incosiderate (especially on the Tube).

Bitches

There are some girls (and probably some boys) who make up their mind about a person straight away and refuse to to see the goodness inside of a person. Doing bitchy things such as crank calls and ganging up on people is probably the reason why some men decide to go gay.This post will likely be added to once I think of more things other than those from the top of my head.

**Chez Daja** · 05-26-2009, 05:19 PM
