What's your pet peeve in RL?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

My sister again. Before I go on, let me make it clear the she has to really surpass herself in order for whatever she did to be noteworthy enough of this thread, and that's saying something.

Moving on, just recently she pronounced "pagan" with a soft g. That's right, a soft-freakin'-g. It sounded more like "pagian" or something. Someone who follows pages is what I am guessing it means.



For those who have yet to see me post an accurate description of her annoyance-surpassing exploits, let me tell you I do not want to summon neither the strength nor the time to try and properly put her in to fully-rendered-face-palming detail yet again. I will just say that she is apparently part of the half of "Twilight" fans that have apparently ruined it for the other half.

Then again, it's far too easy for her to ruin anything: she's that suburban white kid that has taken to supposed "street-talk," and she exaggerates this as much as she can. Worse yet is, she this it actually makes her funny and makes people want to be around her.

For my sake, I should thank God that she hasn't assumed the title of "furry." -.-;

College dorm fire alarms, fuck them to high heaven. I'm dorming here at NYU-Poly, and in this one semester we've had like 10 fire alarms, 9 of those being within the first month and a half. It got to the point where if I saw any flashing light that I grew paranoid and even a sudden sound would make me jerk(no pun intended) as majority of these alarms were between 12am-6am, almost always on a day I had early classes.

Bad enough is we all know it's prolly the lame Frat guys make the new pledges do initiations majority of the time(3 times was cooking related), yet there has been no proof.. I woke up at 5am when I have an 8am Biology lab again and there will be hell to pay, for what I'm paying to dorm I should be getting complementary soaps and lotion in the damn bathroom...

You will find this happens in every University around the world, I used to work as a fire warden in one and also my past job so I attended on average 4 a week. Mostly between 12am-6am and a variety of different reasons from the malicous of deoderant etc. to the many ways of burning bread to, sausage fire and exploding microwaves.

People who leave the car running while they pump their gas and then get inside the car until its full. When you get out the car, forget to touch the metal part of the pump, cause a pump fire from a static shock, don't say anything.

Edit 1/14/2008 Almost every FFXI message board I try to access at work except this one is blocked. This one is partially blocked. I can access all of the message boards except the discussions, the gallery, and the main page, why the hell is that. lol

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

BUMP!

I'm sure we have some new peeves and I was bored so I read the whole thread. And no, not going to create a new thread that could/should just be merged with this one.

Today's peeve: The fact that my weekend was great but it just (as usual) wasn't long enough. Why can't I work four, off three?

And people who dial my phone, wrong numbers, at 1:24 AM on a Tuesday or 6:04 AM on a Sunday. WHY ARE YOU CALLING PEOPLE AT THIS HOUR IN THE FIRST PLACE! And add to that, why the fuck can't these people at least apologize for waking me up, jeez. If I call a wrong number, I always apologize regardless of what time it is. Fucking rude assholes.

The demise of radio dramas.

The stuff that comes through on NPR every Sunday night beats the pants off just about any TV show you can name.

It's a damn shame they all died out. Well I guess Garrison Keillor is still trying to keep the art form alive, but I can't think of any others.

People sometimes...

People ALL the time...

People like THIS all the time...I know...I know, it is to be expected from the likes of YouTube comments, but I just wonder why people lack shame sometimes...

Was watching a movie trailer on YouTube and was just answering somebody's question...

People who obstruct traffic. I don't mind if someone is senile or sick or incredibly nervous or a complete driving amateur and feels a strong need to go 15 miles under the limit. I'll just drive around you or something. But when TWO people decide to go under the speed limit together and completely cockblock everyone, it really irks me. Doubly so if they cause me to get stuck behind a red light unnecessarily, or make me lose all my speed when going up a steep hill.

Are you even actually Thai? I thought you just had eclectic tastes in movies; most people here are eccentric in one way or another.

Speaking of Surprise!Asians, anyone seen Jei lately?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

My current pet peeve: Windows Activation when you reinstall or change the configuration. I just bought a new computer and pulled the old hard drive to run on on a temporary basis. It was VERY temporary, I had one day of being told I had 3 days to re-activate Windows (XP Pro) then it locked me out if I didn't do so. I meant to do a reinstall anyway, but now I'm going to have to hunt for various settings and whatnot, and I have to activate the NEW installation within 30 days and just don't trust it not to make things unpleasant. I'll probably do that tonight, if you don't see me for a while you know why...

Fucking this. I live in Florida so I swear to god, it must be some state law I'm not aware of to completely get in front of "that chick with the 97 Silverado that barely has any brakes" and go slow as balls.

No, I'm not Thai. I just happen to like a lot of movies that come from Thailand. I'm Chinese. The whole "Ching Chang" talk though drives me insane.

I just started with one movie on a recommendation from somebody in college and, in trying to find out more about it, it just lead me to other movies. And there is an American in Thailand who covers a lot of movies from a foreigners perspective on his blog.

Wise Kwai's Thai Film Journal (perhaps he even covers them too well. Some of his "reviews" are outright summaries)

I'm sure if I became interested in a movie from another country, I'd end up finding another person who covers movies from that country, then I'd start picking stuff out that I think I might enjoy too.

If it makes you feel better, Americans are pretty ignorant about other Americans too.
