Pet Peeves

Come to this thread if you want to complain about all the little things that other people do that you annoy the crap outta you. Provide why you hate those little things, and discuss on why you do too.

One of mine:
I don't like it when people use all lowercase letters as a username, it just seems lazy I guess. :/
  • #1

People who invade my personal space (mostly physically but emotionally too)

People who sit next to me, talk to me, and have horrible breath...Im so polite I cant say anything about it

People who ask what Im doing, and if I reply with "Nothing" they proceed to bug the shit out of me about why Im not doing anything or make stupid jokes about how Im doing literally nothing (ex. "Nothing? Not even breathing?"...yeah numbnuts, Im not even breathing...)

People who go on about topics that you are CLEARLY showing no interest in, but they arent getting the hint and thus continue to talk about it

People who claim to be "friends" but wont hold a conversation with you that goes beyond a "Hey"

People who flip the hell out when I tell them I dont like most cheese (kind of a stupid peeve, but still, its annoying)

People who are overly/obsessively uptight and clean



I could add to this all damn night, but Ill spare everyone that displeasure
These are the just the top ones
>:O

I share the "nothing" one with Kaizy.

People who bug me while i'm reading, more then once I've told someone to fuck off when they've done this.

You know what you should do; when they ask you what you're doing, just say breathing.

Id rather not encourage them to be stupid :smirk:
  • #5

People that stand too close to me in a conversation (Serious annoys the fuck out of me)
People with teeth that seem to have never met a toothbrush in their life.

Storm I feel your pain with the reading one. Whenever i go to the school library to read it seems that everyone needs to come and have a conversation with me. >:O

A conversation is a two way thing~

I really don't like it when I am stuck behind someone on a path only wide enough for one person and they walk excruciatingly slow! Either that or they just come to a complete stop to talk to a friend or some other reason.

To build off of this:

People who walk in groups in small hallways exceptionally slow knowing the hall isnt wide enough for me to pass without plowing through them

there's this girl on my street, (she's fucking HOT by the way,) who is a total blond in every way. She tries to sound smarter by saying specifically a lot, and she uses it totally wrong and it pisses me off. OH WAIT I MEAN IT SPECIFICALLY PISSES ME OFF. :P
  • #9

Ha, with small crowds, I just push.

I have a few pevs but this one is relevant because it came up today...
I was just walking though some place or another and came to a door (huge massive surprise). I opened the door and noticed that a 35-year-old-ish woman was following close behind. So, as you do, I held the door for her. She stoped outside the door and said this, swear it is word for word; "you have no need to hold the door open for me, just because I am a woman I obviously don't have the strength to do that do I? You think that your masculinity dominates my feminism. You this that such an act increases your chances that you'll get to have sex with me, is that it?" I blinked twice. Bare in mind I am 15, I'm tall but I don't look like I've really gone though puberty yet. The woman is staring daggers at me. Then I say this, my voice marinated and dripping with false something, kind of sarcasm, kind of something else, lime the words were dipped in honey. "madam, you are delusional. I have no underlying need to exhort my dominance over anyone, I am simply doing as I was brought up to do, be courteous. Nether the less you try me patience. I would hit you for you're idiocy but that would invoke some kind of diffrent law to plain assult, would it not? My masculinity is obviously so over bearing. And what makes you think any teenager would want in with an old bag like you. Take your freaking door, you pompous, ugly toad." with that I slamed the door in her face and heard a muffled "how rude". My god she was a git. I went a little far really but, oh well.

Crying babies/toddlers.

I'm walkin' in Target or Ikea with my mother, and there's always this one family with about 5 million kids that are running around the store just CRYING and TALKING. I love quiet and being alone, whenever I can I shut myself in my room. To much loud gives me unbearable migraines.

Also, I used to be in the drama department when school was in session, and during a show there was always one show where a child was just BAWLING and the mother was either to stupid or ignorant to take them out of the theater.

It's even WORSE if it's a toddler. God forbid little Timmy doesn't get his action figure. I'll just be a tool and get it for him so he stops making a scene.

Memyselfandi <---- is ok
MeMyselfandI
memyselfandI
MemyselfandI
memyselfandi <---- I like this one best.

Everyother other username I have is with caps though; Black Magic, Draklor, etc.

holy shit kaizy you're kind of annoyingly anti-social.

"I hate when people are in CONTACT with me, and try to TALK to me how DARE they try to spark up a conversation and talk to me about stuff I don't CARE about. Ughh these people, they're so gross and smelly too I hate people"

One pet peeve I've noticed that gets me is people who walk on the wrong side of the sidewalk. It sounds really bitchy, but this is more prominent in Australia than in America, though, because we walk on the left side and Americans walk on the right side, and because I live in Darling Harbour, there's a bazillion tourists. So we'll have dumbfounded tourists walking on the wrong side and bumping into me so I'm forced to move to the wrong side and basically evade EVERYONE. I've kind of made it a habit of mine to just pursue on the correct side so that they are forced to move, and not have to keep bumping on people.

Adding to that, people who are walking in a crowded place and just STOP to glance at a store, causing a huge obstruction because the sidewalk is crowded as it is. I've had to pull friends out of a walking crowd in the past because they thought stopping to have a conversation in the middle of the sidewalk when it's busy is an incredibly good idea apparently. It's just kind of mindless and not observant of the people around you. That goes for a group of friends who think walking hand in hand is a good idea, obstructing the entire sidewalk.

Cyclists in a 40 mph zone or higher, especially after the sun has gone down or on a two-lane road. Even just going the speed limit and watching the road, I have almost hit these fuckers so many times on accident. Yuppie faggots, all of them.

-When I was an under grad at uni: people sitting next to me in lecture smelling like smoke, weed, booze, etc. If you're kinda fucked up you probably shouldn't be in class in the first place. They usually end up being disruptive in some way anyway.
-Strangers watching and questioning me as I draw/sketch. "What is that?" "That's cool, can you draw blahblah" ...really? I don't mind the watching part (mostly), but I get really nervous when strangers just start asking me to draw them things and what not.
-When I'm doing requests/commissions and said requester CONSTANTLY asks for their drawing as if I have no life. You only asked me YESTERDAY, geez.
-Elitists of any sort, fanboys. Arrogant people. One self-proclaimed gamer told me that all they play are Microsoft games/systems because anything else is too "anime" for them. what.

People who give their kids' names weird spellings in an attempt to be 'original'.

People who can't just take a deep breath and chill out. Seriously, we don't need to obsess over tiny details all the time. :nope:

Anyways, if it was an accident than that's fine. What really annoys me more is when people write titles without capitalizing the first letter. Although, when I make titles, I always make the beginning of every word capitalized, and before I joined this forum I used to Capitalize The Beginning Of Every Word for like years, and then when you guys said stuff like:

Quote

Dude, your writing style is intense. How does that not get annoying?

Quote

I don't know. It's certainly annoying as hell to read.

HNGGG

So I immediately stopped. Thank you guy's for snapping me out of that. #^_^#

People who leave half an inch of liquid in a juice/milk container, two whole chips and some crumbs in a bag etc...
I would much rather be told we're out of something than think that there's any left and be let down when I go to use it. Please just finish the damn bottle/container/bag. PLEASE.

Also bicyclists that feel entitled to the roads. You can't beat them because you either run them over and get in trouble for that, even if they pull out in front of you, or you get stuck behind them for miles looking at an old man in a skin tight outfit. :/

when my friend randomly texts me 'RAGGLE FRAGGLE' forty five times to piss me off until i call him a motherfucking pussy. Then he says 'you are what you eat' so I temporarily block his number so he uses his brother's phone. :nope:

People who intentionally misunderstand irony.

People who don't understand irony.

I have actually gotten so used to people mispronouncing my last name (Hencoop, Handcop, Hockop Honcop, Hancoop, and somehow Henderson at one point) my entire life that I was shocked when people started asking me how it was pronouced. I just told them "however you like."

Which annoys the fuck out of me when they actually think I'm joking and press the issue. If I repeat myself, and they press again, I start to lose my patience.

My other, BIG BIG BIG pet peeve is HYPOCRITES. Every time I encounter one I want to beat them with a fucking fish and they don't seem to understand why their behavior pisses me off so badly. I actually spent a year and a half teaching my mom "do as I say and not as I do" is NOT an acceptable form of child rearing by confronting her, chewing her out, telling her I'll change my behavior when she does and flat out ignoring her when she refused to do so.

I was 12.

When people do something almost right, but then screw up some major detail. For example, my dad just purchased a new iMac. Rather than getting the standard mouse, he opted for the wireless mouse touch pad thingy.

-Elitists
-People who bitch constantly
-Debbie Downers
-People who force their opinions on you
-Judgmental/Condemning of people right off the get go
-Unprovoked disrespect
-Gunners (classmates who have no regard for anybody else around them and will do whatever it takes to get the best grades. They would kill you if it meant a guaranteed A+).

That's about it. Nothing really outlandish.

When you have an amazing dream more real than life itself, only to wake up and think it was reality until you noticed some key details were impossible. ._.

  • #32

Ok here's one; I get really annoyed with people who can't comprehend time zones. It really pisses me off. Like if I say "gonna have lunch now, brb" or something and then the person says "WTF, its, like, 11pm! Lololol! Your weird" and then don't realize that some people LIVE OUTSIDE THEIR COUNTRY! Not everyone lives in pencilvainia buddy. It ok if they says something like, "oh, it 11 pm... Wow we have a big timezone difference." or "what do you mean it's... Oh, timezones." just these people who can't comprehend that the sun doesn't rise and fall at the same time everywhere have normally been on the Internet for a long time and would have come across this "phenomenon" before.
  • #33

ohmygod the amount of times-

I hate it when somebody smiles and tries to sound nice when they're clearly mad at you.

When the wrong forum section is used, this kinda sounds something that would be under "recess". eh. I see people are bored, what the hell :smirk:

-People who don't realize that something is their fault and place the blame on else.
-Trying to get someone's attention to inform them of something and you are ignored like you are a plain old wall.
-people who won't shut up when in a classroom when others are trying to pay attention to work stuffs.

My all time number 1 pet peeve is Child Leashes. No joke. When I see those, I want to walk up, slap the parents and set their kids loose to cause chaos wherever we are at. I know it's to keep the kid from wandering off, but seriously if you NEED it then you did something wrong when raising this child.

- People who insist on YELLING AT A GOLF COURSE. Even worse if no one does anything about it. (I'm 15, how am I going to stop four drunk guys yelling on a golf course?)
- People who assume you can hear them when you have headphones on. They won't tap you on the shoulder or anything, and get pissed at you for not answering them right away. Even worse if you state "I'm listening to music now" and they ask you a question not one minute later.
- Your mom jokes every other sentence. (Although I can say that I do this sometimes. It's a bad habit I'm trying to break so I'm not a hypocrite)
- People who can't understand something no matter how you explain it to them. I think most of the time it's because they don't listen half the time.
- Screaming kids. Not infants, toddlers. Although infants can get annoying at times, but that is a little harder to control.
- People who park in two spots (I don't drive just yet, but I swear to God it annoys me to no end seeing it. Even if I don't have to deal with it just yet.)
- People who think it is 100% okay to force their religion on you.
- (This is only a problem for me because I hang out on the internet too much) : People who idolize a meme or fad that was popular on the internet last year. Nyan cat was the only one that caught wind in my school within a week of it becoming popular.
- Holding a door open for someone, only to have them not say thank you or anything. The further away they are, the worse it is. (My rule is that if they are 5 feet or less behind me, I hold the door for them.)
- This is ALMOST contradictory to the above one: People who hold the door open for YOU when YOU are at least 10 yards away. Because you feel the sudden urge to run to the door so you don't seem rude.


I have a lot of pet peeves :unsure:
  • #38

My biggest pet peeve is when people act like I care about something, lik if someone walks into a room and starts showing something off to me. I don't blow up in their face or anything, but inside, I want to strangle them
  • #39

Uuugh, I absolutely hate when people when people (especially older folks) talk on and on about things.
And I have to listen through it all cause I don't have the heart to tell them to shut up.
(except my sister, she' talks way too much and as her brother I am allowed to make her life a bit more difficult. She still loves me though. c:)
  • #40

I hate it when neighbors feel that they have to argue so loud the people shopping at the grocery store across the street can hear them. I have to bite my tongue in order to keep myself from screaming "Shut the fuck up, we all hate you! >:O "

People trying to play doctor, I pull out my medication at work and there are two people who have constantly told me about "better" medications I could have or remedial therapies I should use since they are "healthier than doping up".

If my doctor prescribes something I will take it since they know my history and know what won't interfere with other drugs I am taking.

I'm gonna have to go out on a limb here and say, one of my pet peeves is the attitude a lot of you have. I hate when I see this pessimistic bosnian-kid mindset of 'why do people wanna talk to me? Can't you see I wanna always be alone all the time? If I wanna be friendly, I'll do it on the internet, god".

A lot of you are very young. CHERISH THAT. Go be social, make some friends, have some goddamn adventures, listen to stories. Pop that little safe bubble you keep yourselves in. You don't have to be best buds with everyone you meet, some people are gonna be jerks or just dumb, but you can still have fun or at least be civil. They're obviously interested if they're talking to you, meet them halfway. You never know when that interest will disappear and you'll be alone.

Another problem I have is people who couldn't care less about others. "I'm out to get mine", those kinds. It irks the hell out of me, I guess.
  • #49

When youre talking to someone about music, and they refer to what they like as "actual" music and disregard anything thats not in that genre as garbage

The 70s were great, but stop living in em
Just because you listen to Aerosmith and ACDC doesnt mean you are the all knowing music sensei :smirk:
