Pet peeves...things that really bug you

MareImbrium · #1 10-04-2003, 02:43 AM

What are some of your pet peeves...those things which totally irk you?

1. Tardiness - I never understood the concept of being fashionably late to things. Why bother telling people something is going to start at so and so time if it isn't going to start then? I am usually prompt to everything and the idea of keeping someone waiting is not in my dictionary. And I don't like to be kept waiting either unless it were a very extenuating circumstance. Once in a while is ok but if tardiness is a constant habit that's really annoying. And if the guy is late on a first date..that's even more irksome.

2. Cell phones & pagers on alert mode in movies, theaters, class, church, etc. - There are reasons why these forms of technology have a silent mode. Use 'em! Gosh. We all know that at least one will go off no matter how many courtesy warnings are given out. And when I'm on a date with someone, if his cell goes off (unless he's on call or something) it gets to me, especially if we're not meeting up with his friends or something where he would need to have it on.

3. Interruptions while watching tv, movies, etc. - Just leave me in peace. Got questions about the movie or wondering what's going to happen next out loud? Just watch it and the answer will come to you! Or pay more attention. I can never watching anything in peace at home because my parents and/or brother will always be yapping in the background and I can't hear anything.

I agree with the tardiness issue.

People that root for certain colleges that have little to no affiliation with said college and feel justified in talking smack to alumni of other schools.

If you didn't pay the money or spend the time to attend said college, you ain't a husker, longhorn, sooner, etc. no matter which way you slice it.

What really annoys me is when I go to a movie and people are taking. They didn't spend $10+ to talk, but to see a movie. They should leave their VCR manners at home!

Do not get mad at me when I can't read your mind when you won't use your turn signal in traffic!

Preach it, brother!

Ditto with fair-weather fans.

I HATE tardiness more than anything.

I also detest co-dependence in everybody, but especially women. Come on, get an identity that isn't your boyfriend/husband's!

1. Being Late

2. Going 30 mph on a highway entrance ramp (also going slow in the left lane)

3. Pompous Doctors at work who think they can harrass the nurses - blech

4. Alabama fans tee hee - those poor mislead souls - also fans that talk s*** like their #1 when their team isn't even ranked

5. Stupid people in general

Hootie · #12 10-04-2003, 09:55 AM

People who don't return phone calls...or call me and leave that beeping message at 6am (I swear to god someone thinks my number is a fax machine)

Broken promises

SUV's that tail me...epsecially in the snow.

People who mooch...I have this friend and she's got money issues yet she'll want me to pay her back for the beer but I've bought her lunch and dinner and other things without expecting the same in return

and at work:

People who lick their fingers to get their rings off (buhhhhhh)

i still dont get why so many radford people hate tech so much.. my brother went to school there and i actually say what a nice campus it is everytime people talk about it.. it really is pretty..
but anyways..

my pet peeves are..

when people get in the right hand lane that arents making a right and sit at the light.. when they could have gotten in the left and let everyone behind them turn right who wanted to...

i agree with the going 30 mph on a ramp.. its suppose to be an area to get up to speed with the cars on the highway.. whats worse is when they get to the end of the ramp freak and hit their breaks causing everyone behind them trying to merge to almost get into an accident..

people who make comments every ten seconds in a class or presentation (like they know more than the teacher or presenter about a subject) why are you there if you think you know more..

i dont like stupid people either.. i get annoyed very easily with them.. bad trait of mine..

I HATE tardiness! I always try to be on time or even early if I can.

I agree with whoever said that about rooting for the teams you have absolutely no ties to. It seems that a LOT of people root for Notre Dame who not only didn't go there, but didn't go ANYWHERE!

Rude people. Hate 'em. I'm never rude to someone who isn't rude to me first and if everyone operated that way the world would be much nicer
