EDIT: Also, pet peeve: Mothers who are larger than their adult sons. That's just creepy.

Whew, I'm not creepy! Son = 6'2" and Mother = 5'3" and yes he weighs more than I do too. lol

You are in so many other ways.

Luckily, this is the internet, nobody cares who you are if you don't meet a minimum amount of creepiness.

Look at who you're asking. What do you expect?

Unless they are foreign... then you have to get louder... /sarcasm

Yeah, that is a bit annoying. Especially when they do it to deaf people. There's also that thing where people start talking faster, thinking that alone will help them win an argument.

On the filpside of this there's the people who switch over to another language, thinking they can use that to talk about you and think you won't get wise to what they're saying. Doesn't always work. History has shown people don't need fluency in speaking a language to understand it.

Oh God... I hate when people do this kind of thing. People did it at work all the time, and it was always Spanish they spoke. Well, we had two people who where fluent in Spanish, and they'd walk by the people doing that crap speaking Spanish to each other. The look on the people's faces was priceless.

Peeve of the day: People who drive through the DRIVE-THRU and order food for more than two NORMAL sized adults during Breakfast and Lunch hours. This causes everybody in line to have to wait 10 mins for you to put in your order and another 10 when the order is wrong and you have to send it back >_>.

Peeve: Trying to explain computers to people who are obviously oblivious to them. My mom's friend's computer was screwing up , and mainly because it was running out of RAM space. It was hillarious to me that she only uses Solitaire and IE on her computer. With McAfee and some of the background programs running all of her 512MB of Ram was being used up LOL. Told her to get some RAM from newegg and get it installed... (Sure I could do it, but when people find out you know how to do stuff, they'll ask you all the time and want you to do it for free.) She of course has never bought anything online before /sigh. It is sad to me that Best Buy has a 1GB Stick of DDR2700, she could get 2 for the same price at newegg.

Ok, I have a fast food peeve. My husband goes through the drive thru and always comes home to find stuff missing. The order is on a screen right in front of your GD face and you can't count items, at the very least!? AND apparently neither can my GD husband! I mean what does it take to pull forward, open the bag, and count items? Ok, I'm not exaggerating here either but my husband comes home with missing items 65% of the time. You would think that he'd know BY NOW that he needs to check before coming home....or at least tell the girl at the window to double check, if he's that lazy! The worst of this is, we don't eat that much fast food either! Then when it happens I have to listen to a 20 minute tirade. /sigh


As for the PC issues, I'm too nice to not help my family....or is that too stupid? Now I get calls for every damn thing. Last night my cousin calls and asks me what a toolbar is. I knew there had to be more to this so I dug deeper. It seems she was trying to figure out how to get a free Dominos pizza. There was a website that asked her to install a toolbar and then they would give her a code. Now I am the one that ends up getting the malware/virus's off the computers when they do that stupid shit so I dissuaded her from trying to get this stupid coupon. Two minutes later she calls back and asks me to help her order online. Yes, she couldn't even figure out how to order a pizza online something even a monkey can do.... And I get calls like this at least 3-4 times a week....

Rl Pet Peeve...

When people sing a stupid and annoying song, then an hour later, you find your self doing it, and cant get the dammned thing out of your head...

lol, kinda on that same subject: My mom stopped at Burger King last night to get my dad a large drink. She also ordered a small fry because she didn't want to go through the DRIVE-THRU just to get a drink, especially since it was raining lol. Anyways we get up to the window and some douche, that must've been 3 cars in front of us before we got there, ordered about 9 whoppers and some other stuff, paid and left.

So a different guy that was sitting in front of us when we got to the window was waiting on his food but they gave him the other guy's food instead which caused a big mess. The lady came to the window to give us the other guy's order and was like "OH SHOOT THE GUY LEFT!" Only way I know this is because one of the girls that worked there was standing outside with like 4 BK bags next to one car then walked up to the window cashier to complain to her about what had happened while we were sitting at the window. Those guys effed it all up LOL.

Another peeve: People who use the backside of inter-office envelopes when the front isn't full. This causes the mail lady to sometimes accidently send an envelope to the wrong person because the name on the backside of the envelope wasn't crossed out.

One of TGM's sexy balls came in the mail today.

I cannot even begin to describe how painful it is to use that thing. It arcs my wrist backward something awful. I'll be sticking with my Trackman Marble. Consequently, if anyone's in the market for a Kensington Expert Trackball, I'll give you a good price on one.

RL Pet peeve: That ONE dude at the office who thinks he is "hot shit" and is CONSTANTLY hitting on all the women instead of doing his job. Man I just wanna slap him across his smug face.

Hot damn, can you read fortunes with that thing?

I'm not really looking for one, but I'll give you half a pack of tic tacs.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Having a great meal and basically a great night out with someone I rather enjoy spending time with, and getting up in the morning feeling crappy because of said "great" meal. Minor food poisoning (I think, I don't have health insurance so no doctor) this morning, felt icky all day. I'm feeling better now, but an otherwise great evening was tainted by some ill-prepared food.
