What's your pet peeve in RL?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

That's why I want a hybrid, or better, an entirely electric car. :D

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I'd like a car that'll run on whatever causes the windows to fog up everytime I get in. That seems like a pretty untapped source of energy.

They didn't have these problems back in the stone age because they powered all their cars with their own feet.

Just to add my two cents. If you're a couple living together, your income taxes will not go up at all. The both of you will be filing your own taxes, not combining the total money brought into the household. When you're married, then you will likely be bumped up into a new tax bracket, due to the combining of the two incomes.

Pet Peeves IRL

There is a thread of Pet Peeves in FFXI, why not in real life? Whoes got some and likes to share them with us?

I'll give you my top 3, to get things started:

1. In traffic: ppl who drive too close behind me and ppl who don't use their indicators when turning...grrrrrr

2. Those big toilet roll dispensers, where you cannot find the end of the roll and you have to put your hand in it and roll the toilet roll, until (hopefully) the end comes out.

3. Pockets of jeans/trousers hanging out...yuck!

Re: Pet Peeves IRL

lol this is my own pet peeve that not only my family, but I myself am guilty of.

Why is it that the day after you buy a old DVD/Blu-Ray/HD-DVD, it comes on TNT the very next day. Instead of changing the channel and watching something else you watch the movie on TV instead. Whenever my mom wants to add a DVD to the collection, I use that as a excuse to why we shouldn't buy classic DVDs like that. This happens with titles like "Rain Man" "Shawshank Redemption" "The Matrix Trilogy" "The Negotiator" "John Q" some of my favorite movies lol.

Re: Pet Peeves IRL

People driving too close is one of mine, too. Especially at night, because even if their lights aren't on bright, my night vision is poor, and the glare caused by them riding my ass with their lights on makes me go even slower, because I can't see. Especially if I pass yet another car coming the other direction. If they're willing to break one law by following too closely, why not just break another, go past the double-yellow and pass me anyway? And when they wrap themselves around a tree someday from going 90 on a curvy mountain road, I won't call 911.

Any and all people who come into my store annoy me. But most especially the preppy types who ask 'Tell me about your product. What's special about it?' in this odd tone of voice I can't quite describe, other than to call it 'Preppy yuppy question tone'. But it drives me up the wall, that tone of voice is like nails on a board to me. Normal people can ask that question in a normal tone of voice and it doesn't bug me, it's just that vaguely-condescending fake-sweet/nice tone that I loathe. sldkfjsaldkfjasld ._.

People who don't stop to let someone cross from stores (in a mall, shopping center, whatever) to the parking lot, especially on very cold or rainy days.

People who bring infants to movies and expect them not to cry. The noises alone will scare a baby and make it cry.

Re: Pet Peeves IRL

I work and pretty much live in London:

1. Slow walking people during rush hours
2. Slow/dumb people during rush hours (STOP COCKBLOCKING THE TICKET BARRIERS GO ASK FOR HELP IF YOUR TICKET DON'T GO THROUGH FIRST TIME, IT WILL NEVER GO THROUGH)
3. Tourists, during rush hours
4. Teenagers, who think they "rule" their part (territory) of the bus/train during rush hours. Fuck you, I will happily step over you, don't you give me that fucking look of disgust. Dare to step up to me? I've got 20+ likeminded individuals who will happily back me up with the same mindset and I -WILL- win you in an argument
5. I require a license to kill

Re: Pet Peeves IRL

It's been done.

I'd add more to mine, but I've got class in 15 minutes that I should consider getting ready for, lol.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I've merged these threads.

Carry on with your rants!

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I've merged these threads.

That's exactly what I would have done if I were a mod. Good call!

Now, on to a peeve:

People stealing my food out of the fridge. You didn't buy it, so don't fucking eat it! That's bullshit. I can't afford to feed the entire apartment and their friends. I can barely afford to feed myself! I don't want to come home from class excited about something I've set aside for later, only to find it gone. Seriously, if you're that fucking hungry, go to a soup kitchen if you can't afford your own food. Or at least fucking ask me first! Don't just take it and expect me to be okay with it.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

g/f getting mad at me because I don't do the dishes as much as she does. While I don't typically think it's the woman's place to do all of the housework, I at the moment pay all of the utilities and buy all of the groceries myself, which amounts to as much as an extra share of rent, because at the moment she doesn't really make enough to pitch in. I think the fact that I'm dumping twice as much money into our living situation should get me some leeway on the chores.

OMG I so know this. I live with 3 other adults and 2 of them just take whatever they want. Then when you confront them and your irritated they get MAD AT YOU! Seriously........WTHF!! I don't eat much so when I do I want my stuff to be there. There are 2 things I like to drink, water and 100% juice. Now a 64oz bottle of the juice can last me 2 weeks. I drink about 4 oz a day so its there for a long time. I guess because its there for a long time that means I don't want it.....I go to the bottle and there is about 1 oz left in it. When I ask WHY DID YOU BOTHER LEAVING JUST A SPLASH?? They respond "Well we know you don't drink much..." I give up....I totally give up....

That.....and so much more!

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Temping is my new pet peeve, this job I'm working now is clearly resume fodder and nothing more than that. If there had been interest in taking me long term, it would have happened weeks ago, looks like me and the fellow temps are just here to be exploited and cast aside, so I will treat the job with as much respect til I find something better.

I had to "take a friend to the airport" this morning, for example. This isn't terribly dissimilar from "feeling sick" last monday or "picking up a friend from the airport" a few weeks ago.

Only legit absense I've incurred was an early departure because I forgot to take my meds for a couple days. That's not something I make light of, when it happened last time, I just compulsively started counting anything and everything near me in the company for no reason, like boxes in the warehouse or tiles on the floor of the bathroom. When I got outside, it was raining and there goes my brain trying to count the drops.

Its like a different weird effect every time I forget to take the meds, so I just keep taking them now.
