What's your pet peeve in RL?

She's 18, and I guess she has a fear of her parents. It pisses me off because we've been together for a year and a half, and still this shit happens. I just want closure if things are going to end I suppose.

From the sound of it, the only closure you'll get is if you end it yourself.
This chick sounds like she'll let it linger and die, leaving you wondering what the hell happened.

Sorry, thread title prevents me from indulging. lolololol

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the girl thats in California and this is a long distance/online relationship? If this girl can't even commit to a virtual relationship then she can not be trusted irl. It's time to cut the cord. I can just imagine what she's saying about you to her friends...and its now how awesome you are.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Part of her problem is this parent crutch, too. Whether or not her parents are really the motive behind her actions. Are her parents giving you these messages or is it her saying "Oh, my parents blahblahblah"? Because if it's her then she may just be using that as an excuse to not actually cut ties and hope you'll get the message.

Either way, she is not invested in this relationship, sorry to say. If she wanted to be with you, she'd tell her parents where to stick it.

Tonight's peeve is lacking plans (and funds) to do anything. Though honestly, I'm not sure I really care anymore. I could go out and flirt with some guy to get some drinks but for what? It's all empty and meaningless anyway.

Aye, her mom actually told me to never speak to her again. But yeah, I guess it's nearing the time where things end, it's not looking too good and I really don't think it'll ever work if she's not going to try. I really wish I could make it work.

And honestly I'm surprise anyone cared enough to remember that I talked about this once before. Thanks TGM, that actually makes me feel a lot better. :D

Okay, it's 12:30 now. You can stop with the fireworks.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I agree. I'm home alone and my dog is going deaf so when she hears the popping she goes berserk. She's freaking me out and I wish I had some damn knock out drops to give her. ><

The paper products (paper towels & toilet paper) here at work are ridiculously flimsy. The TP is two-ply -- but even if you double it over & make it four-ply, it's thinner than "normal" two-ply tissue you'd likely use at home.

If the company is paying 1/3 of what they'd pay for better stuff, yet we have to use four times as much of it, they're not saving money!

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

The company that my husband worked used to have better TP and paper hand towels. Then they hired a few people and had them pose as janitors for the place. Over a period of a month they recorded excessive use and theft of both so they went to the scratchier, thinner stuff. They ended up saving money after they switched over because both use and theft was reduced. Oh ya, and they switched tampon brands to something cheap and ineffective and saved money there too. I remember him telling me of women walking out with small garbage bags full of tampons.

Be glad your place of work has two-ply. My school has singly ply. Do I really need to say much more?

Might as well use your damn hands. lololol

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Two current pet peeves.

1.) Gauges. Those disgusting things people put in their ears so they have giant holes in the earlobes. They smell, look nasty, and are a complete turnoff in every regard. Not sure how this falls into the pet peeve category...

2.) Movies that have loud as Hell background noise, coupled with horribly low (on the volume scale) speech. I have to keep turning the volume up and down if I want to hear what is going on if everyone else in the house is sleeping. If I turn it up enough so I can hear what the actors are saying, then everyone in the house wakes up because of the music or whatever. Annoying as balls. Big balls. Big, hairy, mangina balls. >:|

I agree but for me its the special effects. I have to turn up the volume to hear the people talk but then some god damn explosion goes off and rocks the frigging house! Once my husband came flying downstairs, as fast as a one legged man can, and was freaking out because he thought I fell and it was just the explosions in the movie. Jesus I don't weight THAT much! lol

Eh... Depending on how big they are then... Yea.... I don't mind them if they aren't too large... If they are large enough to stick your pinky through... Then you got an issue.

Dead truck batteries. First day to work after the New Year.

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

People who go to work while sick.
People who go shopping while sick.
People who just go out in public sick.

Don't spread it.
Stay home.

If your employer gets their panties in a wad about you taking some sick days, ask them if they want you to spread the flu.
If you want something really bad that's on sale from the store - any store - fucking send someone else.
That movie you really want to see? It will be there next week, I assure you. If not, oh well, Netflix it later.

I had planned to keep myself home to be available for work if needed. I was expected to go to a wedding in Pidgeon Forge, TN on Saturday. My sister's wedding at that. Turns out I made the right decision in staying home after all, even if I didn't pick up any hours at least I didn't give my sister and my brother-in-law the flu for their honeymoon. Or it to my stepmother for her birthday. Or anyone else that was attending the wedding.

To whomever came to Gamestop last Thursday with the flu - FUCK YOU.

Oh well, at least I can feel good about staying home. I don't feel like an asshole for not going to the wedding now.
