Do you have any irrational pet peeves or dislikes?

[_testify_]

I can't stand the sound of people chewing, even though I know I sound like a toothless water buffalo when I eat.

Also, people who laugh too loud at things that weren't even that funny.

And people who sing under their breath, especially off-key.

And people who think because they CAN sing that they HAVE to.

There's a lot more, but I'll spare you.

[datasuspect]

1. people who post about irrational pet peeves

errrrr!!!!

[_testify_]

3. I hate that too.

Fucking bastards, y'know?

[datasuspect]

6. i just got done telling the kids

that mommy drinks because they cry, it made me so pissed.

[taterguy]

2. No

All my pet peaves and dislikes are completely rational

[_testify_]

4. I envy you.

I gotta lotta problems, I think :)

[LeftyMom]

5. People who fold the towels the wrong way (this is a BIG deal, damn it!)

People who don't use thier turn signals
People who are consistently late

[_testify_]

7. I don't fold towels, so that's probably worse

But I agree with the other two. The worst is the turn signal on AFTER they're halfway through the turn.

[LeftyMom]

9. My Dad and I went to the bay area this weekend.

The whole way there and back he did not use his turn signal once. :eyes:

[MrCoffee]

20. what about the asshats who leave the turn signal on all the time?

they are going to the special hell.

[BarenakedLady]

43. No no

They are just going around the world to the left (or to the right whichever the case may be).

[raccoon]

81. Me too, about people who don't use their turn signals.

But I wouldn't call that irrational.

[ThomCat]

8. People chewing loudly, or with their mouths open.

x(

[SoyCat]

36. Ugh, my FIL does that . He's going deaf and doesn't realize all the noise

he makes. I cannot eat around him because I totally lose my appetite.

[MrCoffee]

10. toilet paper hung overhand, rather than the proper underhand hang

[_testify_]

13. That's it, we're fighting. 3 O'Clock today.

Underhand MY ASS!

[MrCoffee]

18. underhand my ass...lmfao!

:hurts: you totally win.

[Radical Activist]

11. come with?

FINISH YOUR FUCKING SENTENCE MORON!!!!

whew. ok.

[_testify_]

16. ooooh yes.

When I lived in Alabama, I'd hear 'Yontu?' WTF?

They were apparently trying to say 'Do you want to?'

[Radical Activist]

22. "Come with" is big in Chicago

Which is otherwise an intelligent city but this sounds ignorant and annoying.

[av8rdave]

79. my son goes to school in Alabama...it's a whole new language there...

"Jeet?" (did you eat?)

"Nojoo?" (no, did you?)

"Squeet!" (let's go eat)

It took 18 months of working with a translator just to learn that exchange!

[NewWaveChick1981]

12. This one's really not irrational, but...

...People who call ME and then put me on hold. :grr: I hang up on them.

More:

People who call ME and can't seem to stop eating or drinking when they call. :mad: C'mon, folks---if you need to call me, finish your Big Mac or Coke first. :eyes: I freakin' HATE the sound of smacking or gulping, especially when it's on the phone, and especially since it prevents them from uttering words that they called me to utter. :grr: There is nothing more irritating than, "Well, see... *smack* (talks with mouth full) I really need to *gulp* *swallow* ask you *glug glug* a question..." NO. NO. I politely ask if they can call me back after they're finished eating. If they don't get the polite hint, I say, "Well, you need to finish your meal. I'll call you back in an hour." And I hang up. :grr: I can't STAND listening to that... It used to happen quite a lot at work, since students were calling to ask questions and didn't have the decency to ask questions without having their mouths full of food or drink. :eyes:

[_testify_]

14. I think I love you.

LOL!

[NewWaveChick1981]

19. LOL!

:hi: Well, that kind of thing sends me into nuclear meltdown. :P :* :loveya:

[ghostsofgiants]

17. At work this summer, I took calls where a person would be simultaneously..

Talking to me and ordering a meal at a fast food place, and I'd still be talking to them while they were eating. It was ridiculous.

[_testify_]

21. Don't get me started on drive-thrus.

'Our shake machine is broken.'

BULLSHIT!

[NewWaveChick1981]

24. Then you know my total annoyance at having to listen to that.

:grr: :mad: I'm sorry you were subjected to that. :hug: I totally feel your pain.

[ghostsofgiants]

25. Haha, but I was getting paid $9.15 an hour to do it...

So that eased the pain a little. :P

[NewWaveChick1981]

27. I guess that's something at least.

:P I didn't find the pain any less severe, though, when it happened on the job. I mean, what motivates people to call the Director of Financial Aid and then pull that? :eyes:

[ghostsofgiants]

29. But my job was to take phone calls from idiots, so it was more expected.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

66. And on that note, I hate Call Waiting

Fortunately, none of my current friends have it, but one of my friends in Portland would interrupt a conversation with me, even a real heart-to-heart, if she got another call. It was like saying, "Wait a minute. This might be someone I like better."

[Crabby Appleton]

15. I only have rational pet peeves nt

[deadparrot]

23. It depends...

What bothers me changes from day to day.

For instance, one of my roommates' cell phones keeps going beepbeepbeep every couple minutes. It's just loud enough for me to hear, and it's irritating the hell out of me today. Probably because I'm studying.

[catmandu57]

26. I don't have pet peeves

I have deep seated irrational psychotic hatreds ala George Carlin.

[LaurenG]

28. I don't think so

all of mine are rational, really! :bounce:

[1gobluedem]

30. I hate doodling

If I have anything printed that is shared by more than one person I laminate it so nobody can doodle on it.

[FILAM23]

31. Only one but its not irrational

my pet peeve is those that correct others
grammar, spelling, etc. It matters not if its
in writing, verbally, or on the internet people who
correct others mistakes are nothing but snobbish,
obnoxious assholes.

[skygazer]

39. "It's" should have an apostraphe

:hide:

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

46. Oh yeah, people who point out typos in messages n/t

[BlueJazz]

50. That is an incomplete sentence.

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

52. Yeah, but it got my Dangling Particple to... well nevermind! n/t

[Mutley]

78. "Apostraphe" is spelled "apostrophe."

:hide:


:P

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

41. Actually, proper grammar and spelling are a sign of intelligence and being

conscientious. It takes only a minute to run a spell check and in real life, grammar and spelling do matter.

"Only one, but it's not irrational.

My pet peeve is those that correct other's grammar, spelling, et cetera. It matters not if it's in writing, verbal or on the internet, people, who correct other's mistakes, are nothing but snobbish, obnoxious assholes."

:hi:

I'm proudly an asshole.

[FILAM23]

42. But I'm not trying to impress anyone

I happy with my IQ,and in 55 years I have found that it means very little in the so called real
life..And in case you wonder. I have tested at the following levels on various standard tests.

AFQT--94

GCT/ARI - 136

IQ-- Taken 4 times scores from 126-148 (Not counting the 153 on the internet test)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

48. I can understand on an internet board, or even in conversation.

In the written, formal word, however, I have zippo tolerance for grammar/spelling mistakes. People, if you're going to do any type of formal writing, you must follow the frickin' rules of grammar. No exceptions. Do not maul the English language.

:grr:

[HughBeaumont]

32. Three.

1) When I clean something, re-do it. Because eight years of cleaning a fucking restaurant during college provided ME with no practical experience or authority on how to get anything out.

2) When the light turns green, just sit there. I have absolutely NOTHING better to do than to watch you pick your nose, pick your ass, talk on your cell, scold your fucking brats, pet the dog, change the station, stare into space, etc. MOVE, bastard!

3) Wet socks. Even slightly moist. Like a water spot. I instantly remove them and I don't care who gets grossed out, it's creepy.

[Ohio Joe]

33. Guacamole

It scares me and I refuse to try it.

[Haole Girl]

59. HA-ha!

Seriously, try it..you might like it!

[begin_within]

67. Then you've never had my version of it. It would probably convert you.

[Ohio Joe]

71. I would but...

It is an irrational fear I have of the stuff. It does actually scare me, it gives me the creeps. I'm not one to be afraid to try new things, there is very little I don't like but... guacamole :scared: never.

[begin_within]

73. OK, no problem. I won't go near pasta colored black with "squid ink."

[Cannikin]

34. When I'm a passenger and the driver gets road rage I get pissed at them

[Bucky]

64. Ha-ha. That's funny. Because it's happening to you and not to me.

Your frustration is amusing to me.

[Broken_Hero]

35. I can't stand

sticky candy, or syrup, or anything that is of that nature...the second I get any kind of glue, or syrup on my hands, I automatically, and swiftly wash the crap off my hands..it just irrates the piss out of me. Thats one of the reason why the donut fryer job I had, sucked big time....

[SoyCat]

37. I don't like it when someone puts one of my CDs back in the case upside

down or sideways. I want the words to read straight across.

[LSK]

38. yes, I hate the taste of alcohol

What is wrong with me? :cry:

[philosophie_en_rose]

40. I can't stand people that say "supposably" or "otay".

:grr:

[BarenakedLady]

44. Mine is irregardless

Not a word people!

[philosophie_en_rose]

47. Irregardless, sammitch is supposably an otay word.

But it's not.

:bounce:

[datasuspect]

75. irregardless

or "for all intensive purposes"

[Parche]

peeves

Country Music
SUV's
Reality Shows
Religion
Constipated Conservatives (Republicans)

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

45. People who bring rollerbags onboard but cant lift them

... to get them in the bins.

If you can't lift it, CHECK IT. It's simple!

[ncrainbowgrrl]

70. At times that would be me...

usually when i'm running late for a flight, and have already checked in online. If I'm headed somewhere on business, I usually can gate check my bag... but when I'm headed to a larger destination and we're not on ERJs or CRJs, my bag is heavy- and having gotten hit in the head by someone else's falling luggage, (and knocked out for a few minutes,)If my bag is on the heavy or cumbersome side, I now ask the person that's sitting in the seat below where I'm sticking my bag if they can help me with my bag, explainng that I had once gotten clocked by someone else's luggage, and I'd hate to have this happen to anyone else. . .

[av8rdave]

82. The flight attendants and I were having that EXACT conversation

last night on the way to the hotel

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

83. And why can't people put small bags under their seats?

I can understand if its a 3.5+ hour flight and you're tall, but for those short flights, does your purse/briefcase HAVE to go in the overhead compartment? (and of course when it's stored, THEN they think of something they need out of it and stand up and block the aisles for the oncoming passengers).

(Can you tell I travel for work and fly twice a week or more? LOL!)

[av8rdave]

86. I can tell....I watch the whole sage 12 - 20 times each week

I feel your pain

[graywarrior]

49. Idiots who whistle. God I hate them.

[William Bloode]

51. Disrespectful people.

Smartass, disrespectful chumps who think it's fine to just talk any old way to someone. Even worse are the ones who call the police on you after you have knocked them nekkid from the waste down.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

53. On airplanes...

People who leap to their feet as soon as the airplane stops at the gate and the seat belt sign is turned off, and they pull their 500-pound steamer trunks out of the overheads (and smack you upside the head with them in the process), and then they just fucking STAND THERE for 10 minutes or so because just about everybody else is doing the same thing, creating a huge, pulsating knot of crabby people holding huge pieces of luggage and not going anywhere.

[prole_for_peace]

62. i hate those people.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

68. A good side effect of the new luggage restrictions is that

everyone's carry-on bag is SMALL!

When I came in from London, the plane was empty in no time. :-)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

54. Cole slaw.

I can't even eat anything that has even been touched by cole slaw.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

55. Moths

Freakin' attracted-to-light bastards. Fuckin' hate them.

[Mutley]

56. People who call my store and tell me their life stories.

Just tell me what you're looking for, dammit! I have the phone ringing off the hook, and a long line of people standing in front of me. :grr:

[cobalt1999]

57. TV

Can't stand to have it on.

[Haole Girl]

58. Children who are loud and obnoxious

Yeah, yeah...children are just like that. It's all me. x(

[Roon]

60. I dislike the idea of dying alone

i have full blown aids and someone better be there........DAMMIT!!!

[prole_for_peace]

61. i hate it when someone leaves time on the microwave when they are done.

clear the damn thing already.

i also can't stand it if cabinet doors aren't closed ALL the way.

i am a freak

[1gobluedem]

72. I hate that too

So I guess I'm also a freak. Also people who pry an ice cube or two from a tray instead of emptying it into the bucket then putting the ice cube tray back. Or putting it back empty. My SO does both of those things all the time.

[querelle]

63. Here's A Few

People who wear socks with sandals.
People who say "okey-dokey".
People who don't pick up after their dogs. You know who you are and I know where you live!
Vicious gossip (unless it's shared with me).

That's about it.

Q

[crim son]

65. You'd hate me then. I am afflicted with 3 out of the 4.

I think I chew pretty quietly...

Persons defending an indefensible position. That's what I hate the most... listening to rationalizations, prevarications and just plain shitty arguments. Nothing irritates me more. I'd have stupiditiy declared a sin, if I was able.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

69. Other people sleeping on my pillow

I don't like it if my pillow smells like other people. I have two pillows in my bed. You use the other one.

[Coventina]

74. Grocery line "pushers"

Standing in line to check out in the grocery store, it seems like the person behind me is always breathing down my neck.

I mean, the speed of the line is determined by the amount of merchandise, and how fast the cashier is, and if there is someone bagging or not.

It is NOT determined by where I stand in relation to the body of the person in front of me!! I like to stand next to my stuff, and I wait to go to the pay area until it is my turn. But it seems I always have a grumpy person behind me that thinks I should be standing right next to whoever is in front of me.

Why is that?

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

87. People who wait for their total before bringing out their checkbooks

Sheesh, they've been in line over 10 minutes, least they could do is to have their check books out, open, and all the information written in... THEN just add the total.

[Fleshdancer]

76. pencils

I hate the way they feel. I hate the way they scrape against the paper. I hate how the erasers never really work right. I hate the sound of other people writing with a pencil. I hate the color. I hate that they have to be sharpened because nothing is worse than a dull pencil. Mechanical pencils are only slightly better but I'll always choose a pen if one is available.

Stupid pencils. :grr:

[Call Me Wesley]

77. People using swear words to bring a point across.

Usually, after the swear word, my mind sets them on mute. Yes, I'm sensitive this way.

:hide:

[swimboy]

85. I respect that.

If you were in America, your mind would have a lot of down time.

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

88. People who swear in public as if they were at home

Nothing like having your kids at McDonald's in line to hear an adult come by saying 'Why the fuck did you order the Supersize? to their friend.

[raccoon]

80. People whistling.

The sound of people chewing ice.

[HEyHEY]

84. I have OCD - my whole life is an irrational pet peeve.

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

89. I'm posting too many here too, so you'd think....

.... that I'm trying to get my message count to 500 before the end of the week! LOL!
