The Lambda Calculus. If you know, you know. If you don't, explaining it is too painful.

RL Pet Peeves:

. . .
- Teenage girls with cars talking on cell phones - YOU ARE A DANGER TO ALL WHO LIVE!
. . .
- Cigarette butts on the hood of my car - you give away where you live when you do this, do you think I will not figure out you're on the second level balcony?
. . .
- Gas Prices
. . .

Bad drivers, specifically those who cut me off when I'm doing 75 so they can pass someone at 55.

People who drive cars that don't have turn signals installed apparently.

While I feel most of kitten's peeves, I honestly have to ask, what's the deal with all the car peeves?

You know what? New (read: old) pet peeve: cars. They are a blight upon this world which has become dependent on them. Screw you all and your car peeves: I'm going to be right here hating on the cars themselves.

/tired

/em is only half-serious (and by that, means he doesn't mean the whole "screw you" part, and in fact 's you all, but does, indeed, hate cars with a passion; walking ftw)

I'll rant more about it tomorrow when I'm not so tired. Heck, you all might give me more fuel for my fire with such examples as cars as a requirement in society.

Re: What's your Pet Peeve in RL?

Also, could some Mod please lowercase the two P's in the thread title: I want it to correspond to the "pet peeve in FFXI" thread.

Your "p p" has been changed. lol

My pet peeve actually has helped guide my path in life. I can not stand people who have children but don't actually take the time to raise them correctly and usually blame it on someone else or some inanimate object(s).

A silly little pet peeve is the degeneration of spelling on the internet. An occasional abbreviation (like lol) is fine but when you have to reread a sentence because you couldn't understand it the first time....

People who scrape their teeth on silverware while eating.

Ok, I lol'd at this one. Does it give you the shivers like nails on a chalkboard?

People who drive cars that don't have turn signals installed apparently.

My mother falls into this catagory. When I asked her WHY!!?, she said "It's saves the life of my lightbulb. They are expensive to replace!"

What the hell is Starbucks!!!???

And Starbucks is a place you order coffee and/or bisquits. I didn't realize how fattening some of their coffee's were until the waistband on my pants got a bit tight. >< Well, I guess the lemon poundcake didn't help either. lol

Yes, I can see where a whole $1.75 is really cutting into finances.

Actually, my mother is 76 and a widow so she takes it into the dealership where she bought the car and has them do it. So yes, that is a considerable amount more. The headlight lamp is like $75 or $85 and they charge about $50+ to put it in.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

That's still cheaper than having to have the back end of the car replaced when someone slams into you because they didn't know you were turning. Provided you survive, of course.

[TheGrandMom]

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I have a feeling she'd survive actually. Oh, the stories I could tell about her driving and subsequent accidents. lol

Yeah...I've been to Starbucks before. I ordered a coffee and the clientele looked at me a bit funny.... After looking at the menu, I realized that I wasn't in a coffee house....but instead, a froofroo fuzzy crap hanging to every bodies upper lip and the clanging of spoon against mug w/o the stirring action, "yes please I'm someone important, look at me." emporium. I only stop into Starbucks when the local 7-11 convenience store is out of coffee. ...or i just go home. lol

...and you can safely blame the lemon cake. That stuff is so good that most people throw restraint to the wind and fail to read the "This will go right to your waist and nether regions." warning sticker.

I do play the game!

Just because you have it installed doesn't mean you play.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

My pet peeve is currently people who smoke. There is nothing attractive nor desirable about smoking or its effects on a person.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

This thread is going to be huge.

- Doctors who don't really know what's wrong and just toss prescriptions at you to get you to go away.

Yes....hell yes. Most GPs are a waste of space.

1. The people who design plus sizes (fat people clothes). I'm overweight, no one, least of all me wants to see my try and dress like an MTV person. That means no hot pants or animal print or great hunks of diamante on things, I just want a t-shirt and some full length trousers.

2. Lack of common sense in government.

3. Lack of common sense in large organisation administration.

4. Being a loop hole.

5. The complete lack of fairness when it comes mistakes in payments to the government. If they decide they have been overpaying you, they yank that money out of your account faster than lightning, and there is no limitation on how many years they can go back. If you finally prove they have been overcharging you for many years, you can only get a years worth of refund because anything else is 'against their policy' and they would prefer to just keep the money and credit it to your next years bill.

6. Plot lines in modern fantasy writing. Please try for some originality, and minimal elves/dragons unless you have something new to say about them? Also, just as a side not, fantasy is not gothic romance and it really doesn't need incest, o.k? I need something new to read ><

7. Most science fiction. I understand you have this amazing (hah!) world concept but the only way 300 pages of you telling me about it is going to be interesting is if the story and/or characters in the book are engaging. Also, you are almost certainly being a lot more smug than your level of intelligence warrants.

8. Fan fiction/people who think they can write and can't.

9. Andrew Lloyd Weber. DIE!
