OH yea, the girl with the pretty hair no matter what style it is in, or the perfect body that she has, everything is just perfect.


All while posting these things on an internet forum...


Fakeity fake fake

My number one pet peeve has to be people who blame others for their problems.

Munchkin03 10-23-2003 08:05 PM

My pet peeve is clothing dripping with logos. Bah.

That Trixie isht cracked me up.

My (probably irrational) pet peeves
 
1) Females who complain about toilet seats being left up. I *always* leave them down when I know it's shared/used by women as a)I'm house trained & courtesy costs nothing and b) anything for a quiet life. But secretly? I just think if it's light enough for me to put it the way I want it then it's light enough for you to adapt it for use too. And don't give me the 'well what if we can't wait and fall in' excuse - bladder weakness on your part isn't my problem. But just secretly ;)

2) People who have **loud** conversations. a) you're not that interesting b) that won't change if you raise your voice.

3) People who ask how old are you? Personal question, I don't know ya, and given how accepted it is that it's rude to ask a woman her age I can't ask you back, Besides which it doesn't matter to anything. So why ask :(

4) People who not only don't come to something but who don't let you know they won't be coming. Who then, when they next see you say 'hey when are we doing suchandsuch'. :rolleyes: Well we're doing it on x date.

5) Bad spelling. There might be spell checkers in the world, there's also a language. Learn it.

6) Spam.

7) Guys who think they're 'playas' though aren't, but still act as if they're all that plus a bag o' potato chips, plus a pepsi, plus a snickers bar. Arrogance and gall usually means you've got sod all.

ZTAngel 10-24-2003 09:39 AM

My neighbors. They're so loud and inconsiderate. They blast their music at all times of the day and they literally scream back and forth at each other.
I hate them.

Yup, happened again, someone walking in front of me on the street started coughing A LOT and didn't cover his mouth, so gross.

Don't smack your lips--it's gross.

Don't ask me if I got the job I interviewed for--if I had, I would have told you, so obviously you know that I didn't get it. This goes for grades too--all throughout elementary school to college, I hated when people asked what I got on an exam/paper--if I want to tell you, I will, but please respect my privacy, esp. if I did bad! I don't want to talk about it!

Oh yeah, and I agree with the poor spelling/grammar. I still don't understand why some people get to/too, etc. mixed up.

IT'S BECAUSE I'M BROWN, ISN'T IT???? Mwahahahahaha. :eek:

Natalie's laugh....blahahahaha!
Yeah she's loud huh!? Man, sometimes I just wanna say SHUT UP! But it's all good, she's my gal and I love her.

Pet Peeve:
People who say they're leaving (for example, leaving GC), blah blah blah..... then next day or two, they're back posting....

ADPiSAI 10-27-2003 11:36 AM

people who put EVERY little detail of their life in their MSN name or their AIM away message. including some snotty comment directed at whoever they're mad at. I'm sorry, grow up and find a better way to handle things!

Dionysus 10-27-2003 12:31 PM

People who can't drive worth a crap!
 
I wonder did a lot of people fell asleep in the part of driver’s ed where one is told to travel one car length per 10 miles behind the car in front of you. In other words, if you’re going 60 miles per hour, you are supposed to be 6 car lengths away from the car in front of you, not one. I think people fail to realize that if you tailgate a car and if they suddenly stop you are KISSING that car’s backseat! These types of drivers never want to use their brakes either. If the car slows up ahead of them, instead applying their brakes, they actually speed up to switch lanes missing the ahead car by a foot or less. Riding in cars with these types of drivers scare me crapless. :(

sigmagrrl 10-30-2003 05:18 PM

Two new things:

1) KNOW IT ALLS: Lordie, lady, is there something you DON'T KNOW ABOUT??? Mention mushrooms: "Oh yes, I grow portabellas in my backyard!" Mention conspiracy theories of 1923: "Oh yes, in the town of Podunk, AR, it was the theory that Prohibition was the manifestation of the combination of two monkeys conspiring to send Earth into a tailspin..." SHUT UP!

2) Sorry, Dionysus, but I only agree with you when there is NO traffic. In bumper-to-bumper traffic, you do NOT have the right to leave that many car lengths b/w yourself and the car in front of you....That huge gap of distance in front of your car is taking up my time! MOVE THE F!#K UP! GEEZUS!

queequek 01-05-2004 11:02 AM

I hate it when people are moaning non stop when they are working out in a crowded gym.
Hey dude, a gym is not a right place to produce any stupid sound!

Sugar_N_Spice 01-05-2004 06:28 PM

1.) People who use bad grammar (and I don't mean on the internet). For example, "conversate" is NOT a word!!! :eek:

2.) Service people who are rude to you for no reason (known to you, that is) other than they hate their job. Don't get angry at me--it's not my fault.

3.) People who have "Diarrhea of the Mouth"--telling MY business (whether or not I even confided in you) to other folks. Get a life!!! Also, people who gossip about others behind their backs, but lie about it when you confront them... :mad:

4.) People who "smack" and make funny noises when they eat. The sounds gross me out.

5.) People who only talk to you when they need something from you. Also, people that ask you for something after they have just pissed you off. I'm not related to you, and we are not that cool, okaaay...

6.) People who have double-standards. For instance, if you complain that I am always late, and tell me to be on time, then you show up late, and expect me not to call you out...:rolleyes:

7.) People that place other people in "boxes" and expect them to conform to the "norm". Like, just b/c I'm African-American does not mean that I shouldn't listen to alternative or rock music. :confused:

8.) People who talk extra-loud in public spaces. I DO NOT need, nor desire to, hear your entire conversation.

9.) Stupid people. They REALLLLY, REALLLY, shouldn't be allowed to procreate...

10.) People that validate/ conform to stereotypes.

11.) People that think they are "entitled" to help from others and in life in general. Nobody owes you a dayum thang--not even your momma!!! LOL!

12.) People that complain about EVERYTHING...I mean dayum, at least be happy you're alive...

***I'm sure I can come up with more later. ;) ***

RioLambdaAlum 01-05-2004 10:55 PM

okay this might sound lame on the first one but...
People cutting their nails (and even bitting their nails)
Or people that come in my line at the store and are on their phone while you ring them up and pay no attention and get an attitude when you try to speak to them.
Thats just two of them.

MadTownFratBoy 01-05-2004 11:43 PM

people who bitch about their pet peeves, i guess this makes me a hippocrit:)

You mean cutting nails in front of you?
I once had a roommate who actually shaved her legs while in the same room as me. Ugggggh. She had lots of hair too and I could hear every single cut the blade me.

Another one to add to my list:
There's this one post office near my work which offers one of those drive through mailboxes. So when I'm in a rush I like to use one of those but I hate it when people have no consideration whatsoever! The parking lot is really small and if there are cars in front of me, they hold up the entire line of cars wanting to go in by just waiting there until an open space pops up. This one time a car in front of me actually had the nerve to park her car smack in front of the drive thru mailboxes and I was stuck there. Bleh.

Dionysus 01-07-2004 12:35 AM

I hate it when people pick their teeth and flick whatever comes out. *gags*

IluvSirFidel 01-07-2004 03:30 AM

I really get annoyed when people, after asking how long my boyfriend and I have been dating, ask "Do you think that ya'll will get married?":rolleyes: No. I've been dating him for three years, but there is no possible way that I could ever be committed to him. (Edit: This is sarcasm.....:))

The other things that really bother me are really silly.

I hate drawers that don't close all of the way because they are too full. I also can't stand teeny little pieces of clothing hanging out of said drawers. I will walk in a room and immediately tuck in these little snippets in order to shut the drawer.

I also hate "ring around the toilet" For goodness sakes, people, a toilet brush and bottle of Comet are not that expensive. Please use them at least twice a month!!! (My boyfriend is so guilty of this!!!)

ZTAngel 01-07-2004 09:30 AM

When you're waiting in line somewhere and the person next to you stands thisclose to you. I'm really big on personal space and I can't deal when people I don't know stand really close to me. I'll move up a bit to get away from the person but either:
a) I'll be right up against the person in front of me
b) The person will just move up with me.

ARGH!

ugh - this happened to me really bad last summer. i was at lowes picking up an air conditioner i had bought online, and was waiting at customer service for someone to bring it to me when this guy behind me is literally standing like 6 inches away..so i moved up..he moved up, etc. finally i'm like pressing myself up against the counter and he comes and STANDS NEXT TO ME. luckily they brought my a/c because i was seriously about to yell at him to back the f*ck up..

AOX81 01-07-2004 10:45 AM

When people come over to my house and start looking through my personal files on my computer. :mad:

Checking YOUR e-mail does not consist of looking through MY DOCUMENTS!! :mad:

The1calledTKE 01-07-2004 10:50 AM

People that don't know how to drive or are afraid when they drive. Just stay in the slow lane and I am happy.

People who think they are privilaged at work. Example; coming in later than others for the second shift being late for that and deciding to take lunch before everyone else. Then taking way more time than allowed for lunch. Your azz is going to get fired real soon and you don't even know it. lol

mattpike 01-07-2004 05:41 PM

fingernail biting. it just gets to me. i dont know why, its not like they are biting my nails or anything.

ADPiAkron 01-07-2004 05:50 PM

The sound of people chewing! UGGHHH I cannot have silence when eating with others because the sound of chewing is terrible!!

oceanphi01 01-07-2004 06:08 PM

Tags hanging out of the back of people's shirts

Ditto on the tardiness and the driving slow in the fast lane

People going out and leaving all the lights on in the house when I turned them all off when I left and I come home and no one's home but every single light in on!!!!! Arg!!

People who breathe really loud

Gum underneath chairs and tables

juniorgrrl 01-07-2004 06:28 PM

Gum chewing. It's gross. Don't do it at work. I don't like to see chewed gum in your mouth when you talk to me.

Flakiness. If you're not going to do it, don't say you will.

Cattiness. If you don't like me, say so, and we'll try to work something out. Don't be such a girl about things.

Fords. They just bug me.

Rudey 01-07-2004 06:32 PM

Mutants.

-Rudey

justamom 01-07-2004 06:50 PM

popping gum
clicking pens
People who look all around the room when you are talking to them or ask you to repeat yourself bcause they were not listening.
People who park a part of their car in MY driveway.
Music so loud in the car/truck all you hear is BOOM BOOM BOOM!
People who arealways sick -go to the DOCTOR if you feel funny-awful-terrible-constipated...
Oh, and blow your darn nose, don't wipe it on your hand or sleeve.

Do guys HAVE to arrange and rearrange their privates every 5 minutes?

Spitting.
