Pet Peeve Thread

[Adam]

...speel-check...

Hee, hee, hee! You crack me up, man. If that wasn't intentional, then...oh, the irony.

 

[unreal.freak]

Seriously! I wouldn't even call it a pet peeve... more like a psychotic hatred.

LoL....C'mon that's a pet peeve.

i used to live in Lakeland Fl. And always would eat at a bar and grill there called Hops. When the Sun and Fun Fly In event was going on yearly, that place would get packed. The wife and i went in one evening to get a steak and a brew, it was packed. When we went in, the waiting time was 1.5 hours. As luck would have it a 2 person booth opened in the bar, just as we made our reservation, so we took the booth. As the foyer became more crowded they started spilling over into the bar area. About the time we received our salads, the crowd was nearing our booth. when i took my third bite of salad, my elbow was bumping a guy in the butt. He was standing that close. I asked him very politely to give me a little space. He acted like a smart @$$ in front of his girl. he shuffled his feet about 3 inches and said "hows that". Well it wasn't enough space, but now it was more serious than he knew. I told him then in a very impolite way that he was about to get my fork in his @$$ if he didn't get away from me. He then moved out of the bar area. It really wasn't completely his fault, because the establishment wasn't set up very well for crowds. The foyer was small and when you get through it and inside the actual restaurant it opens up very large. So people was hanging inside where it was less crowded initially, instead of wading back through the packed foyer to get outside. I almost felt bad afterward, but he acted like a jerk, when i was being polite and sincere when i asked for space. I'm not only like that with strangers, if its family, i still ask for space politely. I'm very considerate of others and their space when they are eating.

Peace,
Tommy

I would of stabbed him in the butt for sure.....Smart***** don't fair well in that kind of situation with me.....

 

[unreal.freak]

1. People who write checks in the express line of the grocery store. It TOTALLY defeats the puropse!!! Who the hell writes checks for anything other than bills anyore anyway?!?!

2. People that say, "should of" or "would of", instead of "have".

3. People that say, "conversate".


Basically I just hate people.

That is a more specific part of a greater Pet Peeve of mine, which is poor use of English, especially on the internet. To me, the way you present yourself in the form of online posting is a direct reflection of your intelligence. I won't call someone an idiot for not using perfect English (I screw up from time to time, we all do), but to carelessly type away tells me that I probably would be better off not listening to what you have to say.

I Dont kno wat u meen, ther r peepul that jus Cant. type verey gud. But. Peepol ons the intreneets good. Culd use mroe nice tings to say aobut dem too. Dont lissen to bears. They no guud for u.

 

[jamie2112]

I am bummed when someone almost buy's my Jamo's and goes with a bose system instead...

 

[STRONGBADF1]

Wow! I'm so paranoid right now I'm afraid to post!

The quick phone number on voice mail is a great one!




People who pull out quickly in front of me and then drive slowly when there is no cars behind me.

People who do u-turns in intersections when they could more easily drive around the block.

When I ask my wife whats for dinner and she replies with one word "chicken". Now come on, there are 50,000 ways to prepare chicken...which one is it?

When I say to someone "Good morning" and they reply with something like "is it?"
It's meant to be a wish not a statement. I know they're just being a smart*** but it still bugs me.

I have to stop now and go take my blood pressure medicine...

Then there are those people who think they are hilariously original by acting out your pet peeves.

Seeing as how my previous post in this thread failed to impress the OP, I will present a short list of my pet peeves, which is in no way all-inclusive.

1.) Pretentiousness on Internet forums.
2.) As others have stated, improper use of the English language in any walk of life, whether online or in-person. Not every one is 4.0 in their usage, granted, and I can live with simple, common mistakes in spelling or punctuation. We're not all English professors here. However, I am truly tired of seeing such an abortion of our language in so many areas of life - if the OP had been slightly more intuitive he might have realized that my previous post was meant to implicate those very people that I find the most guilty of this, and that I wasn't merely being silly (although I was being that too ). I have seen worse on the internet than what I typed, and think it to be truly indicative of an overwhelming downturn in our society with regards to common sense, perception, pride and the ability to project one's self as another human being worthy of your intelligent conversation I think most of us are in agreement on this.
3.) Thug life in modern America and the "fashion statement" it has become.
4.) The use of the phrase, "It's all good..." for some reason that just grates on me.
5.) All the godd&*m "If you don't forward this email to at least 10 of your friends" emails, and those friends of mine who still don't realize you can indeed simply hit the "delete" button, and nothing disastrous is going to happen.
6.) Getting sick on account of weather changes (I'm feeling like crap today, so this is on my mind.. )
7.) Excessive text messaging
8.) Hollywood celebrity updates (Really I DON'T care!)
9.) Bad drivers... duh. What I find funny is how everyone thinks that everyone else is a horrible driver - so who is actually the good driver? I've made my bone-headed mistakes while driving as everyone has, but there are some people who are truly a menace behind the wheel - their licenses should be revoked and burned.
10.) Voice automated systems!! It's about all you get anymore when you try and call a particular business or company that you have dealings with, and it literally drives me up the wall!!

Just to name a few... good thread, by the way. I feel better now.

 

[GlocksRock]

my biggest pet peeve is stupid people... nuff said about that.

I also hate it when people can't spell, or when they use the wrong spelling of the word, especially the word bass... it pisses me off to no end to see people spell it base. It's the funniest to me when I'm reading a review of an audio product online, and some self proclaimed audiophile starts spouting off about this that and the other, and starts talking about how the speakers have great base, or are lacking base. I just want to jump through the internet and strangle them.

WHOA!!! I just noticed the misspellings in my post. Yikes. I give people crap all the time for bad spelling and grammar. How ironic.

 

[Alex2507]

People who say, "have a good one".
I always want to reply with, "I already do".
It is never appropriate.

The spell check in this forum doesn't know some of the same words as I do. It's an A/V forum so the stupid "speel" check should be helping me, not hurting me when it comes to basic stuff. Maybe it could like, learn from us?

Not from MidCow2 but from the rest of us.

 

[Nimrod]

When my kids set the table for dinner, and give me a salad fork to eat my entree with.

It’ll make me go Postal, real quick.

 

[CaliHwyPatrol]

Lighten up, Francis.

Haha, it's the Pet Peeve thread, I have to be peeved.

 

[darien87]

I hate it when people load up a machine with plates at the gym and then just walk away when they're done. You were strong enough to put them there and lift them, so you're obviously strong enough to put them back.

 

[Halon451]

Haha, it's the Pet Peeve thread, I have to be peeved.

It's all good...

 

[speakerman39]

One of my pet peeves would have to be when a prospective customer comes into my shop and just smells like sh*t! I mean, some peolpe come in at times looking like they have never had a shower. It has been so bad at times, that I have had to use an entire bottle of spray.

Another would have to be people that come into my shop wanting a price on everything. A price on this or a price on that. Then, it turns out they never buy anything. Moreoever, they come in there and end up more or less wasting my time. However, that is part of it when you are in retail.

Cheers,

Phil
