What's your pet peeve in RL?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

People who try to force their ideals/morals/opinions/etc on others.

People who think they're better than other based on said ideals/morals/opinions/etc.

People who can't take constructive criticism.

People in general.

Paper bags.

People who live in a state that receives a yearly snowfall greater than 20" yet haven't a damned clue how to drive in it.

Itchy nuts (being honest here)

High school.

People in high school (to clarify: popular kids and drama queens)

People in high school at parties I'm at.

Cocaine (crack is cheaper; cmon)

People who lump all forms or varieties of electronic music into the genre "techno."

People who call a Rubik's Cube a "stupid toy" yet can't actually solve it.

People who have sex on the dance floor and think it's a form of dance.

Drug laws/prohibition.

Skateboarders who think they're better than rollerbladers for the sole reason that they skateboard. The exact opposite is also true.

"Hard core" gamers who refuse to buy a Wii because it's not "hard core" enough for their "hard core" gaming lifestyle.

Emo music and how it essentially destroyed the music genre of punk rock.

Celebrities.

People/media's grossly unhealthy fascination with celebrities.

Bad pot.



(for the record, #11 is more or less of a joke).

Honestly, most people stop caring about/being bothered by high school the moment they leave it.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

1) People trying to convert me.

To convert you to what?

7) The color pink.

What is wrong with pink? It's a perfectly natural tint of red.

It comes back up in life: Trying to get into that university? Oh look at your HS transcript. Too bad. Any extra-curricular activities in high school? No. doesn't look like it.

High school reunion party? wtf?

I'll take those. Especially the dancing one.

'BOIZ ONLY SEE ME AZ SEX OBJECTZ'
'That's because you're dry-humping him. What's he supposed to think, that you wanna be just friends? Can't blame the guy because of your fucked up mixed signals, sweetheart.'

I'll add to the pile:

People who ride my ass thinking it will make me go faster. Especially at night, since my vision isn't that hot, it just makes glare, which makes me unable to see, which makes me drive slower. So back the fuck off. Also: deer like to run out into the highway suddenly. If I have to brake to avoid it and you're right up my ass, your insurance is going to skyrocket when you pay my med bills.

I don't get those people. They want to go faster than me (and I'm already way over speed limit) so they're breaking the law, but they won't break the law and cross the double-yellow to go around me and just go away. lololol... -_-;

I always run into the a-holes that ride my butt and flash their brights. Um....GO AROUND cause I'm NOT going faster just to satisfy you! Then if you run into the occasional jerk that DOES go around, he'll cut you off and damn near run you off the road when he does it.

Once you're out of HS, they stop caring about that though. So unless you're going directly from HS into a highly competitive college, you don't have to care about it. And you'd be dealing with the application process while IN school, so again, it wouldn't matter after you were gone.

High school reunion party? wtf?

Those are hardly required. No one I know has ever bothered to go to one.

I find, in my circle, that the people who do go are very petty. They want to dress themselves up and convince themselves they still look 18. Then afterwards they talk about how old, fat, wrinkled, pathetic everyone else is......try looking in a mirror lately? I had one acquaintance that had lipo, tummy tuck, breast augmentation, AND a face lift before she went to hers. Sad....

My 30th is coming up soon and while I wouldn't mind reconnecting with some old friends, it would be depressing to go....probably half the class is dead! LOL

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Ooooo HARSH Jarre! Harsh!! lol

Jarre had the most exciting/stressful childhood ever. I think his only competition would be young Indiana Jones.

It was survival. You lived in a block with 50 over guys aged between 11 and 18. You had to learn the ways to survive and be accepted. The stories I could tell of the tricks, the ghost stories we used to scare the shit out of the younger bods (after us being scared the shit out of when we were told them) You had 50 guys going through their teenage years with no support from their parents and no real guidance from teh boarding masters. their were no prefects as the boarding houses were just part of an ordinary school and 90% of us had parents in the armed forces. The bed rocket was just a thing everyone did, their used to be epic pillow fights, pea shooters (cored bic pen and chewed bog roll) In my 7 years at boarding school I must have ben grounded for at least 32 weeks, we all were.

It is also there that I got into final fantasy, one of the guys had a NES ( I had nothign until I was 13 when i got a mega drive) and he had a strange game called an RPG called final fantasy 1. The rest is history.. He unfortunately got run over by a bus in 1997, he was an avid cyclist, he would ahve been playing FFXI if it wasn't for that and would be joining in here with me telling the stories from the boarding house... sniffers arm incident, Alex and the radiator, Ji's sleeping position (just think of a vampire with a knife in its hand in a coffin) the raid of the girls block, hedge bashing, the snow season, cheesy feet, the green hand, the unflushable turd and many more... I may share some of these with you all at some point...

Oh and TGM thanks for the insight into the "overuse of bog roll" as I don't have kids nor does my gf or her ever being involved with looking after one, your insight seems to ring true.

Lawl I had a guy that would soak his greens in water for a few hours and try to sell it off for more than it was worth (it'd look greener and weigh more). Cept about 24 hours after you exposed it to stale air, it'd start to mold. The guy lost lots of business and almost some teeth I think.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

As we seem to be divolging alot about car pet peeves heres mine.

1. Boy racers with huge spoilers and a car that con only do a tonne i.e. the spoiler is useless
2. People who don't shut off their full beam lights when driving at night and passing you in teh oposite direction blinding they hell out of you.. DIP them you bastards!
3. My ass is not for humping, pull your car back from my tail (especialoly on motorways (highways) when i'm doing 70mph (the speed limit here) doesn't mean it is safe for you to sit 8 inches off my bumper doing that speed!
4. Boy racers with huge bass conons in their car, you just hear a thudding noise getting louder, 2 minutes later they come screeching past deafoning you with their music, yet they can sit inside getting their ear drums ripped to shreds
5. Moped riders (see first post)
6. women doing their hair in the mirror whilst driving "watch the road you stupid *-*-++
7. People driving on mobile phones (its illegal here yet people still do it)
8. foriegn lorry drivers (long story)
9. People who park on teh street in a space big enough for 2 large cars but decide to park in teh middle meaning no one else can park there, i mean HOW MUCH SPACE DO YOU NEED!
10. Supermarket car parks, my car is battle scared from teh many trolly bumps and car door dents caused by people not paying attention!
11. Old drivers doing 30 mph in a 60mph zone and it being impossible to overtake them
12. Tractors (as above) here in Lincolnshire its 90% arable so we get alot
13. Caravaners (as 2 above)
14. 4x4 drivers that will not go on the grass when need to pass on a narrow lane and expect non 4x4 drivers to risk boggin themselves down so the 4x4 does not get a little mud on it
15. Which leads to Chelsea Taxis (Huge 4x4s in large cities that will never see offroad of which it is designed for)
