Oh yeah, two more. LOL
I'm a BETA THETA PI! NOT A BETA THETA PHI. Dont assume because you think one of my brothers or one of my chapters is one way that we are all that way across the nation. Thats like saying all MEN are the same. LOL Kevin |
I know what you mean. There is a national fraternity on our campus that are not the most productive people in the world. As one of my she-friends asked me, "where do they recruit from?" "It seems like they scrape their pledges from the bottom of the barrel." I did not respond to her, because although I do not like the fraternity, I try not to say demeaning things about other greek organizations. I dont think all chapters of their group are like them. In fact, I know that this chapter is a deviation from the high standards of their national organization.
Some more of my pet peeves are when people travel in the passing lane, or talking on a cell phone in a restaurant. I remember eating in a nice bistro one time... a woman walked in talking on a cell phone in one hand, and a baby in the other. I joked to my father asking, "If you threw a basketball at her face, which would she drop?" I guess I just dont like cell phones in general... I dont see why peoples lives are so much more important now than they were five years ago when noone had them? Why do people need to stand in a line, call home, and say, "yeah, im just waiting in a line." Some woman was sunbathing and talking on her cellphone at our health club. Lol. Society. Elijah |

My pet peeves:
1) I, too, am terrified of truck drivers. They drive like maniacs, and I HATE when you are in the center lane on the highway and you get stuck between two. It's all you can do to floor it and wait until you are past them. 2) People looking over my shoulder when I am reading, writing, etc. I know that if I am reading a magazine something may have caught your attention but get your own - I HATE feeling like I am being spied on. 3)People who make really passive-aggressive comments... or talk about you behind your back. If you have a problem with me, please tell me directly... 4) When your drunk friends start making crazy demands - like when you are at one party and everyone is drunk and then they start demanding that (drunk) friends drive them places - its a pain in the ass AND its dangerous. |
I have too many pet peeves to list, but here is one that has really been annoying me lately:
When you are trying to get off the elevator and the person waiting for it tries to push his/ her way on without letting you off.....that is SO ANNOYING! Living in dorms, you see stupid stuff everyday that just grate on your last nerves that you have left.... more later!! ------------------ Loyaly in our bond, ULChiOCutie Check out UofLouisville's Chi Omega Website! http://chio.webprovider.com |

I hear you on that one! My junior year in high school, my parents were taking me to visit a school out of state. As we were getting on I-81, a truck driver decides he needs to get off at that exit, and of course he's over in the left lane. So he comes flying over, and thank God for my dad's quick reaction and his slamming on the brakes, or my whole family would have been dead! Some other pet peeves of mine (Most have probably already been said): -Anything grammatical. I know it's "no big deal" but it drives me nuts when people don't know the difference between "you're" and "your," "their" and "they're," "then" and "than," etc. -When you're on one of those highways with one lane going each way and the person in front of you is going 10 miles below the speed limit, and when you FINALLY get to a passing zone, one of two things happens. Either every car in the world is coming on the other side, or even worse, the slow person speeds up so you can't pass them. Then of course once you're in a no passing zone again, they slow down. -When you're on the interstate, in the left lane, and the person in front of you is going slow. As if that isn't bad enough, you can't change lanes, and the person behind you is tailgating you. Do they really think they're going to get anywhere any faster by doing that??? -I work at my school's information desk. I can't stand it when people call and ask for a phone number, and when I start to give it to them they say, "Wait! Let me get something to write with!" Okay, you knew you were calling for a phone number, why didn't you have the pen and paper ready??? It also annoys me when, as soon as I answer the phone, they ask if they can put me on hold. -When my roommate knows I have a huge test at 8 am, but she still comes in drunk at 3 am and WAKES ME UP to tell me she's drunk! I could go on... but I won't. Pretty much everything everyone has said annoys me beyond belief. |

I am the self appointed apostrophe Nazi. I hate it when people do not know the difference between plural and possessive.
For example, you see things like "Your friend's love you!" It never ceases to amaze me how people dont' realize that this should be PLURAL, not POSSESSIVE, people! I've decided I'm going to start carrying around a red marker and correcting all the signs I see in public that are incorrect http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif |

I so agree with EVERYTHING here! I am a very annoyed person in general, I think. It takes very little to annoy me. Not patient at all!
But, after all the talk about highways and turn signals, here's one that I didn't see often enough (just once from hootie!) USe your turn signals! They are there for a reason and no, they are not an optional instrument on your vehicle, like the 6 CD changer! I am always driving and behind some slow driver and suddenly they start putting on the brakes and slowing and slowing down to like 10 mph. I'm like WHAT? Is there a dead animal in the raod? Is there an emergency of some sort? No, the person just wanted to turn onto a side street. Thanks, pal. I coulda passed you long ago if you had put the turn signal on! Or, when you are waiting to turn onto a major street, but a person is coming, so you wait. Oh, but all of the sudden!! My goodness, they turn onto your street! Again, I coulda turned long ago if you had used your turn signal, pal! And finally, as far as grammar. I hate it when people say things like could of or would of when they really mean could have or would have. I Know, I just wrote coulda myself, as a sort of shorthand, but really, I think this just shows sloppiness in pronunciation, since people always slur it when they say it. That's fine, but when you type it, you should know what you're writing! |
Arrrrgghh! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif ha ha
People who get on the elevator before the people getting off are off. People who pass a parking space then try to back up into you when someone they've just passed decides to pull out--move along buddy--ya missed it! People who, when I am hunched down over my desk with a look of concentration on my face and papers strew everywhere, say-- are you busy? and proceed to tell you about a broken finger nail or some such trivial detail in miniute detail before you growl I AM BUSY. traffic in general. if everyone is moving, why does it stop. Leaving the toilet seat up-- and by this I mean the cover. I don't want to look in the bowl, it was down when you went into my bathroom, leave it as you found it. Shoes on the floor. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Yeah this is a REALLY picky one, but they MUST go back into their box in the closet when they come off my feet. SUV's and other monster sized trucks that park in a COMPACT space. What is that anyway--??!! OK, I better stop--I'm really not THAT bad. haha Amy |
People who call Alpha Chi Omega "A-ChiO", instead of "Alpha Chi". Members do this, and it drives me batty. There is a "Chi-O", and then there's us. Grrrr...
Hypocrites. I dislike people who don't live by their own standards greatly. I had/have (?) a friend who told me for months how I needed to set limits with my boyfriend, how I was going too fast, etc. Then, she starts practically living with her boyfriend of 4 weeks...did she set those "limits"? Like I said, I hate hypocrites. |
Oh yeah, I had to add my two cents on the speed bump thing! I thought I was the only one! You don't buy a 4 wheel drive vehicle to go over speed bumps at 2 mph!
I especially hate it because on my residential street, there are little dips that kind of serve the same purpose, but also divert water. So, people in SUVs and trucks almost come to a complete stop on those dips that are actually depressions of about 2" into the ground! GRRRRR! And then I, in my little tiny hatchback drive over it at 15 or 20 mph. You are not going to damage your Ford Excursion by driving over a 2" depression at 10-15 mph!!! |

I've taken license plate numbers and called our building security office to report improperly parked vehicles. One GMC Yukon owner got a warning that the vehicle would be towed -- that car was parked in the proper space the next time. Heh, heh. |
There's a lot of highway stuff on here so I'll add one more: The brake spaz! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif
You know those people who's approach to highway driving is to get really close to the car in front of them and then hit their brakes every ten seconds!! It makes me really nervous when the brake lights in front of me are going off constantly. For god's sake - back off a little and learn to anticipate the appropriate speed using your gas and gears. |
PET PEEVE:
1)People who yell at me about things I can't change Example: I work in my schools library and up until Monday we've had shorten hours. So one day dude comes in and starts asking me work related questions(where things are, how things work ect) so when he found out that we closed at 6 instead of 10 he went crazy saying that if he had his way the library would be open 24/7. So he leaves and comes back and says that we need a sign posted so that people wouldn't get upset about the library closing early 2) People who don't say excuse me when they bump into you. I was about to cut people at Jazzfest over this. 2a)People who don't say Thank you after you have held the door open for you or let them pass 3)People let the door slam in your face when you're behind them |
It annoys me when people call my sorority "Tri Sig." I don't blame the people, because they don't know better, but it still gets on my nerves! I'm sure that even a lot of Tri Sigma sisters do it. My chapter does NOT, however, and I'll tell you why. There is a gay fraternity (not that there's anything wrong with that) that calls itself "Tri Sig" (Why? I have no idea). Being a sorority that was around long before this organization was, we don't really like being confused with that.

Amycat, LOL
I get bothered quite often in that desk situation also. Kevin |
SuperXO,
I couldnt agree with you more on the blinker thing. I think the only time I've seen it used more is when I've lived on a military base and that was a long time. Believe it or not my Mom got pulled over(by a Marine MP) for not using her blinker once when making a turn. Kevin |
Some of my Pet Peeves:
1) Bad Drivers, Truck Drivers, slow drivers who won't let you pass, passengers who criticize my driving yet volunteer me to drive everywhere, passengers who leave their trash in my car!!! 2) Greek haters who post on our boards just to cause trouble 3) People who play couch commando (aka - take the remote) 3) The stupid news updates that interupt my televison shows 4) Smokers in general 5) People who read my magazines before I get a chance to 6) Bitchy girls who stare you down 7) Overwhelming perfume/cologne 8) People who can't live without their cell phones for five minutes 9) When people are trying to talk to me from another room...HELLO! I can't hear you!!! |
Quote:
Hey, Kevin! I'm really sorry for your mom about being pulled over. But, at the same time I am glad someone cares! You know, I have often wanted to invent an electronic, LED type sign that I mount on top of my car and it writes out what I speak. Like I'd say, "Use your blinker, Bozo!" and it would print that and the person would be able to see it and "realize their mistake." http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif |
One more thing that is a sort of pet peeve which I just did myself is when people say I could care less. I mean, isn't the person usually trying to imply that they don't care and therefore COULDN'T care less? Saying I could care less implies that you do care about something. I guess I caught myself!
http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/redface.gif |
SuperXO,
No problem about my Mom. I dont think she even got ticked. Just warned. The MPs are definitely geshtapo like in the way they police. I love your idea with the sign. How about a big bumper sticker too. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif Something really catchy. Kevin |
Hootie, I found this while I was searching for something else and remembered that you couldn't find it
So...here you go! :) |
Leslie ~ you're a doll!
All i have to say is: Hair on soap! GROSS! Pick it off if its yours so I don't have to because that's just wrong! ;) |
1. Roommates who are physically incapable of cleaning up after themselves. You know it's your empty pizza box so take it out to the dumpster!!!
2. People who talk during a movie. You pay $8 to get into the theater so you may as well watch the movie and get your money's worth! 3. Slow drivers. 4. People who chew with their mouth open. EW! |
When people f*** in cars and elevators. On purpose! :mad:

Here we go......
1) Roommates who think that it is perfectly fine to come barging in drunk off their ass at 4 a.m. and turn all the lights on to get ready for bed, and then have the audacity to tell me to be quiet when I am getting ready for my 8 a.m. class. 2) People who park in handicapped places without permits or placards. Some of us actually need those spaces......not to mention that it is against the law. 3) So-called friends who start dating your ex-boyfriend a week after we break up. 4) People who become absolute scenes when they are drunk. Learn your limits. 5) TWO WORDS. BUTT CLEAVAGE Girls either stop wearing low riding pants, or start putting on a belt, because the last thing that anybody wants to see is the crack of your a$$ hanging out with your g-string running through the middle of it. EWW 6) People who insist on frying themselves on the beach, all in the name of "getting a good tan". As a skin cancer survivor, trust me, you'll be wishing that you had never layed out once you have surgery to remove large chunks of your cancerous skin. (Think of it this way people, I am only 21, and have massive scars on my back from having cancer removed, all because when I was in my early teens, I just HAD to have a tan that rivaled the color of my very black hair) I don't step outside today with out SPF 30 sunblock on. |
Hootie, everything you said about driving is the way i feel too!!! you know how bad drivers can be up here, especially around campus.
|
Oh, UNO's campus is the worst! Especially when you have those darn shuttle busses that think they own the road infront of the MBSC! URG! One time I was waiting for a lady to back out from the meters and I had my signal on. Then the shuttle bus comes up behind me...almost rear-ends me, and honks. I was like, WTF?!?! He was a matter of meters away from where he NORMALLY drops people off...can't he just let them out and wait for me to pull into my space? HOW RUDE~
Hootie ;) |
yeah, i can see your point! the shuttle bus drivers arent the best in the world. then some of the drivers on campus love to go into the turning lanes when they make left turns, so many people have almost hit the front of my car by not turning into their lane! Also when people leave the garage they turn out in front of you. its really a risky endeavor to go to class!!!
|
I feel like I've been complaining so much lately...must be finals...anyway, I noticed this chick today wearing these jeans with the a$$ completely faded out. Who designed this look cuz I think it is god awful!!! Also, the part of the jeans that the belt goes around, had large circles cut out...which would look cute except that they were very low-riders and I could see her red and white thong. As my sister would say, "put it away baby, put it away."

When people try to sound and act cool, though they're obviously trying too hard. When people refer to San Francisco as "Frisco." :mad: It's San Fran, The City (if you live in the Bay), or SF, for crying out loud! That said, GO GIANTS!! :D |
