Pet Peeves

[thepixiesrock]

I assumed you were, hence my previous post.

[Calax]

Those people who walk up to you and give out Bibles while babbling on about Jesus as if everyone else should give a ****  and convert to their religion...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

or when they try to convert the guy who's taking their money for their fast foodage...

[Purgatorio]

Automated services. Just give me an actual live person to speak with. One that actually speaks English without a foriegn accent. 

 

A business that doesn't have a clock in the waiting room. It drives me nuts not being able to know the time.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ah yes.... and they ring you, don't know your name or at least can't pronounce it but think they know the best way to help you.... Which would be for them to die.

 

I too hate people who try to convert me...

Also I was at the beach trying to sit through a nice beach concert but there was a group of hari chrishnas ringing bells and chanting like 5 yards away... WHILE the band was playing. HELLO?? If we wanted to hear chanting and bells we'd be gathered around YOU not the band.

 

Pet peeves:

people who light up a cigarette when kids/babies are present.... well, people who smoke in general. I can't stand the smell.

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

People who come up and start coughing giving me the impression that I am somehow harming them with my second hand smoke...I think it's their disgusted looks and shooing away of the smoke. But that would be idiotic... since I was I here first and I am outside on a busy street with cars spewing out more deadly gasses. I was here first. If you don't like it move.

 

JWs "Do you have faith, hope, and charity?"

"Yes I have the faith you will go away, the hope you wont come back, and the Charity not to hate you, I also have patience which is growing thin now please leave before I set the dog on you."

My mum said that, and with a smile.

"What is your Christian name".... I don't have a Christian name. "Yes you do." "NO I don't, I am not Christian, what if I am a Calathumpian Jew or Pakistani Trottinduck?" She said that as well...Telephonists.

When that happens I give them a wide eyed look and toothy grin, and start spouting off the merits of worshiping Satan.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Satan saves!

You can use it if you want Gabs...

[Walsingham]

If I were your employee, Walsh, I'd come in late every day just to get a good thrashing. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

In that case you're obviously just the kind of man we need. Get in line.

 

As for people who talk in movie theatres, that certainly boils my blood. Falls under the God's Special Little Pixie category.

 

Lines I have used on disruptive people.

 

"If you use that laser pointer in the main feature I am going to climb over this chair and gut you from crotch to sternum like a rainbow trout."

 

"Is it a special occasion or are you always an a**hole?"

[kirottu]

If I have to explain that I was joking.

 

Also, my taste in women.

[astr0creep]

Can I use those Walsh?

Spot on.

[Meshugger]

:D

 

My current pet peeve: People who hate Bill Hicks

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Funny, my pet peeve is people who look at Bill Hicks as their infallible, truth-speaking Lord God and Savior. People do that with John Lennon all the time too. It's all kinds of ironic, because I would have thought Bill Hicks would have detested anybody who didn't think for themselves.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Now, now. I was joking, hence the smiley. Bill Hicks works great as an inspiration, but taking his words as a foundation for ones reality and point of views is insane. I though that the original message of thinking for yourself came through pretty on during his antics.

[Walsingham]

Can I use those Walsh?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

You certainly may. But be sure you do them justice. A really big smile works for the former, and the latter works even better if you break it into two bits.

 

YOU: "Is today a special occasion?"

THEM, pleased: "Yeah it's my birthday."

YOU: "So... you're always an ***hole on your birthday?"

[Purgatorio]

Always say it with a smile, you have to be polite when insulting spherical bastards.

My pet peeves list is simple...

 

1. Emo's/goth's

2. People that are against capital punishment

3. People who mug and attack innocent old men/old women

[Pop]

My pet peeve is people who don't distinguish between the ethical and practical considerations of an issue

 

Some moderators on this board may evolve into a pet peeve of mine.

"may evolve"? So far as I've noticed, the habits of particular mods tend to be pretty uniform over time. I don't see how you wouldn't already cross the threshold from potential annoyance into annoyance as soon as those habits were made apparent.

Those don't really seem like "pet peeve" issues.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

But isn't a pet peeve issue something which pisses you off? I could be wrong, but that's what I thought a pet peeve was. Those two things piss me off, so the way I see it, they are pet peeve issues.

I usually consider pet peeves to be those minor things that annoy you.

 

 

I mean, I wouldn't consider people that perform ritualistic torture on my friends and family as a "pet peeve" perse, but I certainly don't like it

[Llyranor]

Man, mass genocide is a real pet peeve of mine. I'm annoyed when it happens.

[Gorth]

American Heritage Dictionary

n. Informa.

Something about which one frequently complains; a particular personal vexation.

 

American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms

pet peeve

 

A particular or recurring source of irritation, as in My pet peeve is that neighbor's cat running through my herb garden. [Early 1900s]

 

WordNet

pet peeve

 

n : an opportunity for complaint that is seldom missed; "grammatical mistakes are his pet peeve"

[Pop]

yeah.

 

Fauxhawks = pet peeve

backwards thinking = an actual problem with the world at large.

 

A pet peeve is just something you gain a sense of approbation from, but don't really feel the need to justify through reason. The rise of self-interested emos is a good example. Or not being able to spit out the window of a moving vehicle. Capital punishment... generally you're expected to have more than just sentiment as backup for your viewpoint.

I always found Physics to be the problem there

[Guest The Architect]

Ah, I see. Well, I can cross of 2 and 3 on my pet peeves list then. A few pet peeves I have that I'll post at this stage are:

 

1. People who constantly sniff (it's not even necessary even when you have a cold)...

2. People who talk with their mouth full...

3. People who act differently around different people and can't just be themselves no matter who they're around...

4. People who don't wash their hands after they've been to the toilet...

5. People who talk way too loud to you when you're only around about a metre or less away from them...

 

I wouldn't call these major "this pisses me off" stuff. These are just minor things, but I do find them annoying.

Have one of them at work. She is a table banger as well.... I am not a violent person but.
