Pet Peeves

Since I’m still

feeling particularly posty this week, I decided to start another popular topic of discussion: pet peeves.

Everyone’s got something that they hate. Here’s your chance to let your feelings be known and to blow

it all off.

So far, I only have one (major) pet peeve: I hate it when people chew their food behind my

back. It’s just…annoying. :stuck_out_tongue:

My pet peeves are bad drivers, people who don’t dress properly according to their

proportions, people who are on their cell phones constantly, people who think

animation is only for kids, and cheerleaders.

~~=oP

Hun you

have absolutely NO room to talk there! =P

But I explained why to you over the phone

(ironically)!

~~=oP

Pretty much the same

for me too PV :-D) not so much the cheerleaders though, they just annoy me time to time I’ll come back and see

what else I can come up with. :mrgreen:

Okay, let me just get my list out… :laughing:

  1. Stupid fads that make

everyone look ridiculously stupid, (for example, that whole large spikey bracelets that could seriously harm

someone) and when the people who are into said fad mock people who are not.
2. People that judge things

before they have experienced them, like saying, 'oh, I know I won’t like *insert

strange food here*, though I haven’t actually tried it yet’.
3. Cigarettes and smoking generally.
4.

Sunday afternoons. Sunday afternoons should die.
5. Musicians who earn millions upon millions out of music

that is so simple and rubbish, anyone could make it, and, aside from that, they probably didn’t even make it

themselves and actually paid someone else to make it in the first place.
6. Footballers who earn millions upon

millions just for running around a bit and looking good.
7. Children that draw attention to themselves in very

public places. I know that it’s really in their nature, and they can’t help it, but children screaming and

making a racket when you’re trying to have a pleasant evening out just really bugs me.
8. Teachers that,

despite knowing fully well how much coursework you’ve got in other subjects, insist on giving you homeworks that

don’t actually contribute to your final grade, but waste your time.
9. People who abuse the English language

by continuously writing in text language, or using double negatives, and other things like that.
10. People

that gripe too much. :laughing:

I have a lot of pet peeves,

having been around long enough to accumulate a really impressive list. Here are just a

few"

Cowardly people who respond to any picture of a snake, spider, etc.

with things like “Ewwww, gross!” or “KILL IT!”, or worse yet, actually follow through with

the latter because they don’t have sense enough to learn any better. This is especially true of many people on

Deviantart.com who take time to take a PICTURE of an animal, then kill the thing, just so they can upload a pic

to their gallery so all their snotty little friends can compliment them on how brave they were for getting close

enough to the big, bad whatever to take its picture.

Animal Rights Activists

who insist on forcing their particular opinions on everyone else, with regards to what everyone else can or

cannot eat, can or cannot keep, and generally try to force their agenda of an animal-less society under the guise

of animal “rights”.

School Board Members and District officials who

drive around in Jaguars while teachers can barely afford the rent, have to pay 100% of their class budgets out of

our own pockets, and put up with untold amounts of BS from students and parents, with no support from the

“top brass”. These are the people who insist that they do everything “for the children”;

yeah, riiiight.

Parents who refuse to show up for conferences about their

child’s grades or behavior at school, won’t answer the phone when they see it’s the school calling, or lie

about it being the wrong number, who could care less about whether their child gets an education, but who will

come down like a bad case of the flu if you hurt their little baby’s feelings or impede his/her

“rights” in any fashion, who can’t even read, but can tell a teacher how to do HIS/HER job, who refuse

to buy their kid pencils, paper, etc., but won’t hesitate to buy the little darlin’ a $130.00 pair of

sneakers.

ANYBODY who promotes Breed-Specific Legistlation as a means of

curbing dog bites, and who is actually still stupid enough to believe that Pit Bulls have "locking

jaws", three rows of teeth, etc.

[b]The media for calling virtually EVERY dog that bites,

growls, shows its teeth, steps on someone’s foot, poops in someone’s yard, etc. a "Pit

Bull"[/b], even when it’s obviously NOT, just to blow out-of-proportion the problems with Pit

Bulls vs. other breeds, and put every incident involving a so-called “Pit Bull” on the front page of

every newspaper, yet when a dog that they cannot possibly get by with calling a “Pit Bull”(like the

Pomeranian that ripped out the carotid arteries of a six-week-old infant a couple of years ago)does something

bad, they relagate that to a tiny little snippet on the back page, IF they report it at all, and often won’t

mention the breed if they can’t call the dog a “Pit Bull”.

[b]Shallow

people[/b] who cannot see beyond the very “surface” of a person or situation, and make their

judgements based on their extremely narrow view

[b]In

Fandom…[/b]

Rabid fangirls You know those Ca-RAAAAZY fangirls

that SINCERLY belive that so-and-so is meant for them? Honestly! No detail about *insert whispy bishonin name

here*'s past is overlooked, but they can’t tell you how the series/anime ended!

[i]Character

bashing[/i] So you don’t like a character. Want to express your disdain? Cool. Want to give us a

REASON you hate them? Go for it. Want to jump down a fan of so-and-so’s throat for being a fan? Want to bash the

character in your “masterpiece” fanfic? Want to devote an entire webpage to your burning hatred?..

For the love of Mary Sue… GET. A. LIFE.

That includes bashing a character because he’s not a

“bishie” (Kuwabara bashers, I’m talking to you!)

[i]The use of Chatspeak in fanfics

(and chatspeak on forums!)[/i] Nuff said.

[i]People who "liked it before it was

cool"[/i] And I’m talking about the individuals (OOOO! I acknowledged your SUPERIOR

individuality!!!) who CONSTANTLY brag about it. As if they have no other personal merits. "I saw so-and-so

when they were just playing in clubs!" "I watched this when it was

UuuUUunderGrOOOooOOOuuuuund…". Okay, we get it, nobody in this fandom can match your unique and superior

taste, we are merely posers and pions, while you’re the “true fan”. Now go to a Trekkie con.

[i]The list is too long for the oh so negative

Ectoplasmicblobbything to list right now.[/i]

Don’t you mean peons? :3

Ha ha. My sister was exactly like that when that

one song from Ozone (the one-hit wonder) started playing everywhere; clubs, radio, tv; you name it. She claimed

the “I bought the CD and liked the song before everyone listened to it!”

title. Yes. It gets very annoying fast.

My pet peeves are fairly mundane, I

think. Nothing too out the norm:
1.) People who talk loudly on their cell phones, particularly in QUIET

areas. Where is your social ettiquette, people?

2.) People who speak with FOOD in their mouths. It bothers

me (and disgusts me) to no end.

3.) Celebrity adoptions/marriages. Not like adoption is BAD; it’s the

good publicity-starved celebrities (hint: Angelina Jolie) who are willing to throw their business out to the

media, who in turn gather 'round like pidgeons being fed bread crumbs at Central Park.

4.) Reality tv.

Do we really need to sit and watch the lives of washed-up celebrities or an Average Joe through the

tube?

5.) Lindsey Lohan.

Hehe, yes I do mean peons :3 Sorry about that :smiley:

Yeah, I say if

your going to brag about it, at least wait until somone challenges you with a "HA! You have the CD, you

don’t even know who thaey are!" That’s a good oppertunity to play the "I liked it before it was

cool" card. But wearing that “title” like a badge of honor? Gagith upon me with a spoon! It makes

then look Obsessive compulsive!

Here’s another one and prolly my

number one:…NOSEY PEOPLE!!!
I don’t mean just curious people either, people that ask you one question

after the next, people that have nothing better to do than call n ask you what you’re doing, and people that try

to see your eyecolor through your car window is what I mean! :angry: :mrgreen:
