Simply list your pet peeves and go on about them as much as you'd like, regardless of how little or how much. Just get it off your mind. You can list as many as you want in as many separate posts as you want. Just toss a pet peeve on here if it comes to you.
One of my biggest pet peeves is dubstep. Honestly, it's just noise, not real music, yet people blast it on their headphones (another pet peeve) without consideration for the fact that others may not want to hear their "music". Honestly, I really just want to cut the cord on their headphones just to get them to be silent.
Oh you have started it now. (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys.on-my-web.com%2Frepository%2FAnimals%2Fferret-9.gif&hash=42bd2ee88d4ddc91007b3b25799f543e9ee358f1)
Incompetence: I cannot stand people who are incompetent. Not untrained, not unknowledgeable. These people are both trained and knowledgeable, but they are just plain unable to do they job within a reasonable manner.
Inconsiderate people: These are the people who are ether playing a video game on their phone with the volume on full blast, or they have their music that loud, or they are yelling at someone on the phone.
Body odor/ Bad breath: Worse thing ever is to have someone sit next to you and they have bad body odor or very bad breath. Geez, take a shower, use deodorant and brush your teeth.

Really? I find a lot of dubstep quiet intriguing and I have spent a lot of time lately trying to figure out just how those sounds are programmed and how to best fit them into a mix. I have to agree with the headphones though. It is super annoying. Not only because of the distorted mid-tone noise itself but also because I cringe at the idea of ruining my ears like that.
Drivers trying to pass in a no passing zone going into a curve or up a hill with a blind spot. Someone is going to get killed that way.

Apathy, I really hate it when . . . . . oh, hang on, I can't be bothered
Grrr
Just purchased groceries that expire in 5 minutes.
Cars blocking pavements!
I often feel like leaving a note on their window reminding them that cars pay road tax because they belong on a road!
In my younger days if I had to walk into a road to get past a car there would be a good chance that a wing mirror may become broken or paint may get scratched (I'm a much calmer person nowdays)
Most people are more concerned about their car getting scratched than a human being getting run over because they parked their precious car on the pavement!
I've even had a go at a copper for a line of police cars blocking an entire pavement once, he couldn't care less even when I pointed out that a mother was pushing her pram in the road because the polivce cars were taking up too much room on the pavement.
It makes my blood boil
Car drivers who think they own the road because they pay road tax.
Many car drivers I know in the UK feel that cyclists have no rights on the roads.
They are all too stupid to realise that many of the inventions on bicycles paved the way for cars & the popularity of cycling increased the demand for proper roads.
Car drivers owe cycling more than they care to admit

Final pet peeve for the night
People fishing on canal banks getting stroppy when I go past in a narrow boat & intrude upon their fishing.
History lesson for those ignorant fishers, canals were NOT invented for fishing, they were invented/built for the sole purpose of transporting heavy goods such as coal around the UK.
The towpaths were not created for you to set up your glorified beer cooling seat, they were created for the horses that pulled the narrow boats.
Next time you have to reel in your line becasue i'm coming through on my narrowboat don't scowl at me, you should doff your cap & thank me for tolerating your use of the canals.
If i'm on a river then it's a fair fight for who has the highest right but the canals are the domain of boats
Ex smokers walking outside, standing next to a smoker then coughing loudly whilst giving the smoker evil eyes, get a life

EA for milking every penny out of Battlefield fans, don't they know there's a recession on?
Aliens: Colonial Marines game, it's been in production for almost 10 years now, just release them damn game already!
People who believe that if a film or a game isn't to their taste then it's a pile of rubbish & anyone watching/playing it is wasting their time, don't they realise how boring the world would be if we all liked the same things?
People who think books are a waste of time, they'll watch the same film over & over then get puzzled that I can read the same book over & over

Thank you! I honestly detest inconsiderate drivers and stupid pedestrians. For example, on Ocean Parkway, there's a sidewalk, a long set of metal bars, and a bike path on the other side. The sidewalk is 1 foot to their left and they still can't use it? What the heck?! Stop walking on bike paths then complaining if I almost hit you! I follow the rules, so should you! (Sorry, had to get that off my chest)
Quote from: Laura91 on September 12, 2012, 08:11:31 PM
One of my pet peeves is when things are labelled as "noise" when it is just people giving the wrong label to a given musical style.
Dubstep, Metal, Rap, etc etc is NOT noise!
THIS is noise:

It's so beautiful! ;D
Well, I'm sorry for offending you, perhaps I should've used a different phrase like "fancy noise" >:-)
Seriously though, if you like it, so be it. Just don't be one of those people who can only seem to listen to it if it's blasting out loud. :)
-Talking or texting while driving
-The "you aren't a transsexual if" people
-grammar nazi's in general. I does not care. People can have completely valid opinions despite spelling.
-kids on my lawn
Here is some noise, but it sounds so damn good.
Loffciamcore & Commercialwhore - Suicide Splitter Girls (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQuIqL55sQ0#)

Oh my gosh, I detest that too! "Tonight is What it Means to be Young" is the best song of all time (to me) and the radio cut it to 4 minutes? What the hay?
Also, another 2 pet peeves--> Swearing and "hate". Hate is a strong word and often overused and swearing in not necessary.

Never ever tell gamer guys you are trans. Ever. Unless it is some glbt clan or something. I always just lead them on about how I am either sick or my mic never works.

when your rank 681 at domination on the leaderboards, you'll be suprized how many people look you up when your a registered clan battles member. sadly they refuse to remove my facebook link from my profile, so any gamer who wishes can find out im MTF, I dont tell anyone, but I sure do catch alot of crap for my female gamer tag when I sound male via mic. its midly upsetting, but sure is fun to troll them, when they start talking crap, I love pissing them off more by saying "what? upset you got owned by ms doutfir." or however you spell it XD
I havn't had any real problems yet online but I tend to stay in a private party with friends.
For a few months my Xbox bio explained that i'm undergoing gender reasignment so that's why my avatar is female but my voice is male & if people didn't like it they could jog on.
I recieved a couple of text messages from random people who'd played with/against me wishing me the best, not everyone is a mindless idiot online, just most of them
Oooh, I like this topic. I may have to set up camp here.
For me, my number one is people who like to look down on others. I'm talking the kind who like to rub credentials in your face, talking like they're the gift to this planet or something.
I'm sorry that I only have an associates degree. Clearly I'm nowhere near as intelligent as you are with your bachelor's/master's/doctorate's/whatever. No my degree is not from some Ivy league school. I'm sorry that there is no chance that you and I could possibly hold an intelligent conversation because you're going to use so many words (quite inaccurately often times I might add) and I just won't understand.
People like that really get to me. Get off your high horse already. Grrr; lol :laugh:

I don't like those kinds of people either. I'm seriously smarter than a lot of people from colleges, and I haven't even gone. I don't see the point in paying money to go to a lecture hall to have someone tell you to read a book. People learn mostly on their own from studying in college (what college grads tell me) and I can read a book, so I don't need college. I may not have a degree nor will I ever, but I am already proficient in college-level physics, chemistry, biology, differential calculus, integral calculus, multi-variable calculus, trigonometry, and world history (plus, I have the CLEP test scores to prove it :)). I am in the midst of being certified to perform emergency medicine. Also, I can communicate in English, Spanish, and sign language. So to all of you pompous, arrogant college grads out there --> :P

My peeve is with myself, I keep eating things I know I can't eat - wheat pasta tonight - and then suffer afterwards. Stop it, you berk!
" AND THEY DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR DOING WRONG! OMFG!!!"
Oh, but they do, my dear. They do. >:(
As as for gas, come over here to the EU. We're sitting on almost 8 bucks a gallon....
I thought of a couple more.
For starters, I really don't like it when people speak for other people. Of course if you say something like "He//She needs oxygen to survive." then that's just a fact. It's when people tell me what I want that ticks me off. Every time I tell someone I never want to have kids, they get all up in my case and say, "Oh, you'll change your mind." When will they understand that they don't speak for me?! It's my head, and only I know what goes on in it. Sheesh.
Also, I detest pseudo science and anyone who claims to know facts without abiding by common sense or doing research through valid sources. For example, everyone says that carbs are the devil or that sucralose causes cancer. For Pete's sake, people, beef can cause cancer if eaten in excess. Honestly, I don't like the information age. Any idiot can put false info gained through speculation out there and people in their paranoia will gobble it up.
Speaking of paranoia, how annoying are overprotective parents? I saw a kid on a leash this morning! ??? Plus, parents make their kids look albino with so much sunscreen of SPF 6000000 or whatever it is, give their kids floating devices instead of teaching them to swim, and keep them from playing in the dirt. Dirt can be good for kids. It helps them build tolerance to bacteria and become immune to certain illnesses and playing in the dirt can give kids access to good bacteria that amplify serotonin production, which allows them to lift their moods and be happy. This upcoming generation is doomed... :-\
Starting a sentence with a capital is like saying "please read my sentence, good sir/madame." Ending a sentence with a period is like saying "thank you very much for reading my sentence; you are too kind."
Grammar/spelling/punctuation/paragraphing... that's the written form of etiquette. Putting some effort in tells your reader that you care about them, that you want to make it as easy and painless as possible to read your incredibly fascinating and insightful comments. A solid and indigestible block of writing that lacks capitals, punctuation, grammar or any discernible capacity on the part of the author to find the "Enter" key is rather like telling the readers to go f**k themselves.
But don't worry, I am not going to correct you. I'm just not going to read it.

Screw etiquette, I only use correct grammar and punctuation because I don't want to hear people mope and complain about my lack thereof.
By the way, another pet peeve: Etiquette and being "proper". Honestly, why do people care if I eat with my hands? They're my hands. You know what else is "rude"? Staring at people, regardless of their bad table manners.
Thus, in conclusion, etiquette sucks.

Well, if you want to go there, we put our filthy paws on our plates, utensils, table top, cups, faces, napkins, and more. Thus, I'm pretty sure it gets to our food indirectly anyway.

I mean it is cute, but it doesn't help people take me seriously -_-'. Last week I went to the head of the bio department to ask where I could purchase the dissection kit, and the director just said to give him my mom's email so he could give her the link

Size 12 women's (US). The "AA" (or 2A) is a width designator: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe_size#Width_designators (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe_size#Width_designators)
Basically my feet are really long and really narrow. Which is unusual. And unusual always means expensive and hard-to-find in clothing.

I used to think that those headsets were stupid until I borrowed my friend's for a little experiment. I went around with the headset and I walked into a grocery store. Note that during the entire time I never used the headset. I got to the checkout and someone cut in front of me. I screamed, "What a prick!!" The guy turned around. I pointed to my headset and lipped, "Not you."
Funniest thing ever. Try not to laugh, or it doesn't work.

Yeah, the same ones who get mad at you for "butting in". Seriously, if people want you to "mind your own business", then they should perhaps try not to talk loud enough for you to hear them. As far as I'm concerned, if you want privacy, you should try whispering or at least try concealing your business. Unless someone hears you despite your concealing efforts, everything you say is everyone's business.

Same feeling with my blackberry. dammit, those keys are so small!
My small feet annoy me, since I have to wear kids shoes and they make me look like I'm 5 :(.
The only thing more annoying that that is having classmates point out how small my feet are and how "cute" they are ::).
A pair of

What I'm wondering... Is it wrong to pet your pet peeve? Do pet peeves require a certain amount of petting? If you do pet your pet peeve, should you do so publicly or in private? >:-)

I was known to pet my peeve from time to time, but it was sort of dysphoric.

My MAIN pet peeve:
When im driving in the fast lane (far left lane) and cars dont get out of my way. ITS THE PASSING LANE IF YOUR NOT PASSING SOMEONE MOVE TO THE RIGHT PLEASE. You dont know how much this infuriates me. I actually feel like killing someone. Nothing else gets under my skin as much as this. Its even worse at night when im tailgating an inch from their bumper and im high beaming them, AND THEY DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR DOING WRONG! OMFG!!!
Also... gas prices have become rediculous. Its about 80$ for me to fill up my vw golf... and i live in north america >:(
Oh yes, this. I'm never too aggressive though, too much of a pansy :( I just take it and cry later.
People who drive too close behind me on motorways. In their honour, I've learned the trick of touching the brake pedal with my foot, just enough to turn on the brake lights without actually braking.

I've occasionally gotten meaner and just drop down a gear and slow down without using the brakes, usually makes them rethink their following distance.

So is tailgating someone, I just show them why a reasonable following distance should be observed. If I go anywhere, I'm not going to be in such a hurry that I sacrifice good driving just because I couldn't be bothered to allow enough travel time.
Luckily my daily commute is only about a mile and I don't go to the bigger towns in the county very often, so traffic is seldom an issue for me.
To me, any action that makes a driver angry is criminally stupid, because an angry driver is a dangerous driver.

My dad used to flick his fog lights on for a split second, they don't have time to tell if it's brake lights or fog lights but it makes them back off.
People that attempt to have a conversation with their mouth full of food. Their mouth looks like a cement mixer with half masticated contents on full display. Makes me gag.

Are you being sarcastic?
No
My main pet peeves revolve around phones.
Late callers: When I was young not everyone had a phone, it was drummed into me that you should never phone someone after 9pm unless it was an emergency as most people would be getting ready for work the next day.
It drives me wild when I get called after by people who aren't close to me, my last landlord would phone as late as 10:15 for trivial stuff, Grrr
Mobile phones in general: With the proliferation of mobiles we are all expected to be on call 24/7, if you are having a conversation with someone & they get a call they will interupt you to answer, I feel like butting in halfway through their phone call to show them how rude that is!
If you want to be left in peace then someone will comment that your phone was off & the tone of voice normally conveys their annoyance at having to contact you at a more conveniant time for you, if I want to turn my phone off i'll damn well turn it off, it's not broken, the batteries not flat, I just don't want to talk right now!!
Hands free kits: Fine in a car, in fact I hope you all use one whilst driving but if you're going to use one of these in public then don't give me evils if I think you're talking to me, all I hear is a voice, I don't know until I face you that you're using a hands free.
Loud conversations: I don't want to know that your uncle screwed your mother out of a mountain of money because it was revealed she had a different father who was your cousin (actually that conversation would be interesting to overhear).
The point is I don't want or need to hear your personal affairs, if you must discuss personal stuff then wait till you get home, make a pot of tea or coffee & discuss it over the phone with your best mate not the people crammed into the bus/train with you.

Well, that's a different story. In a country where agriculture is sound and food supplies are high, it would be reasonable to complain over a lack of food. However, no one has to provide you with transportation, nor is organizing such a large metropolitan transportation system easy, so complaining about that is a tad unfair.

Another pet peeve. Flat tires on a bike at the wrong time. Don't like it when that happens.
ingrown hairs.

What exactly is 'the right time' to have a flat? I can see it being more or less inconvenient - but I've never had one at 'just the time'.

Oh, well I meant that if I had to have a flat, I'd rather be close to my destination or at least a bike shop. I'd rather not have a flat ever, but that's impossible since no tube lasts forever, so there's no point in fretting over an inevitable occurrence.
You can't fix it on the fly? Takes me about five minutes to swap out a tube.
Quote from: tekla on September 18, 2012, 03:23:12 PM

I can do it in about 3 minutes, but the point is that I'm not always near an extra tube. I sometimes carry extra tubes, but I don't always carry them, so I get stuck with a flat and no tube to fix it. I only go to a bike shop when this happens so I can buy a tube or borrow some tools.
I always carry a spare fresh tube (and a patch kit too, just in case), mostly because 90% of my riding takes place in either odd times or odd places, or both. Getting a flat in the middle of the Golden Gate Bridge at 3am puts me a long way from any bike shop and a 7 hour wait for them to open. Annadale is even worse. But I've found that using real good tires (currently on Michelin City Tires with Protek Plus Layer as my main use tire - I have big knobbies too, but only use them up on the trails in the rain - with either thorn resistant or slime tubes has kept flats to a minimum (and I'm riding about 100-120 miles a week - 80 urban/20 trail-single track %) - say about twice a year.
I almost always have a spare tube and my lil' tool kit with me :angel:
Yeah. Mine is just a little bag that fits under the seat. As it is I give away more tubes than I use in a year because when I'm out on a rural road riding with my brother or up in the hills doing fire trails and single-tracks it's easier just to give a person a new tube then to hassle trying to patch it. Especially if they are cute and female.

I should start carrying tools and a spare tube with me everywhere. NYC roads stink, to be honest. They're filled with potholes and some are uprooted, leaving a jagged mess behind. Drivers just never notice because they're in their precious automobiles. I never liked the slime tubes, either. If you are ever caught going down a steep hill and have to skid or brake hard, then the heat makes the tire explode. I've seen it happen. It looks like Predator got stabbed :laugh:. Also, knobby tires don't really make much of a difference in the rain in terms of slipping. I only use them for increased traction on dirt.
What sucks is that I'm still in school, so I don't have money. Heck, I use butter knives as tire removers. When I become an EMT, the first thing I'm getting is a custom cross bike. 27-speed, break lever shifters, steel frame, double-layered tires, disk brakes, and all sorts of other great stuff. Glad to see that I'm not the only bicycle enthusiast here. :)
Being poor stinks sometimes... :-\
Other smokers who light up right outside doors.

Their trucks are sooo much worse than your relatively insignificant cigarette.
But who cares if they smoke near doors? If its private property at least, it should be up to the owner. Im saying this and im one of those people who avoids all exposure to second hand smoke I can!
It kinda gets inside and I know one of my friends is allergic to cig smoke or it gets her very ill, I try not to light up around people, the pride parade it was near impossible what with 3000 there :P
But yeah the trucks, it's just too funny :P

Get Slimed.
Okay...
People that smoke right near entrances annoy the stuff out of me :P I'll be heading out the back door of my apt.s to go out to the garden and there will be a couple of puffers right there and first opening the door drags their smoke into the building, pelting me in the face and then I have to walk through their cloud :P
But what really ticks me off are people on their cell phones who nearly hit me with their cars because they aren't paying attention
The 'slime' injected into the tubes is far less effective than the slime tubes themselves. Such is my experience anyway.
As for pet peeves I pretty much go the route of Point of No Return (even though the original French La Femme Nikita is far superior in every aspect) and just think: I never did mind about the little things.
I never had too much problem patching my tubes on the road. I always kept a patch kit and a spare tube in my saddle bag. My bike was stolen out of my building's garage though last year, so that ended all that :/
Another big one for me. Saying please, thank you, and you're welcome. I mean, it's not that hard to say any of them and it hardly takes any time. It's infuriating for me actually.

How have I never noticed this thread before, I will try to restrain myself(ish) but there are so many little things that annoy me
People who use the right hand side of a busy staircase when there are signs plastered everywhere that clearly say "please stay to the left" - it's so bloody infuriating when I end up standing at the bottom of a staircase like a moron waiting for streams of people coming down in one big horde. SINGLE FILE, ON THE LEFT, SO PEOPLE GOING THE OTHER DIRECTION CAN USE THE STAIRS TOO GAAAH
On a similar note, people who get to the bottom of a staircase or an escalator and then STOP. I don't care if you're trying to decide which direction you need to go, move away from the staircase and then decide, you are not the only person in the universe, there are people behind you.
People who seem to be able to take up an entire side walk by themselves so I end up doing a stupid left right left right dance behind them trying to get past, or risk getting run over. Don't get me wrong I'm not talking about people who are big, it's usually tiny old ladies that do this, they seem to sort of go in an unpredictable wave along the middle of the path....please...please...just walk straight for a few seconds so I can get past you and walk faster than 0.000001 MPH ;___;
I don't know why, but this happens to me A LOT - I will be walking down the aisle of a shop, and I will see someone who's stopped to look at something. Then just at the split second I walk behind them, they step backwards. Then look at me as if it's my fault they just stepped on me.
Also people who walk in groups along narrow paths, and refuse to move into single file if they see me coming the other way. Do they expect me to pass through them? Jump over them?
Drivers who repeatedly rev their engines impatiently when I've pressed the button at a crossing so I can cross the road. I'm so sorry for adding 10 seconds to your journey, I'm clearly a horrible person.
I think I'll leave it at that for now or I will be here all night :D

2. This sort of thing got me hit by a car once. The guy just kept on driving.... I chased him down on my bike.... I pulled out my lock.... Let's just say he didn't have a windshield anymore.
See, I have to try everything. I've found some pretty cool things and flavors being like that :D
But as far as I'm concerned, let people eat what they like! I won't mess with your diet unless you pay me to :laugh:
lactating.
Crap.
FML!
Yet another pet peeve list (damn I like this topic)
People who walk slowly & weave, here's a tip, if you're a slow walker you'll get to your destination quicker if you walk in a straight line & you won't be making it hard for me to pass due to your indecision about your eventual destination.
People stopping to chat in a supermarket who don't move to one side, if you want to chat that's fine with me but would you please stop blocking the aisle, if you do block the aisle with your trolley then don't scowl at me if I ask politely to be allowed through.
Food snobs, I have a friend who is a food snob, if I say i'm going to have a nice joint of meat for tea he'll lecture that as it was bought at a supermarket it won't be good enough quality to eat, the only meat worth eating MUST be bought from a butchers. I tell him that his butcher coughs & farts like every other butcher regarless of where they work.
Don't bother mentioning that you have stuck something in the microwave as his lecture will go on for hours, in fact it will go on for so long that he'll probably get hungry & nip off to cook some super noodles (pre-prepared noodle mush filled with artificial flavours) proving that if he likes something he'll convince himself that he's eating good food & everyone else is eating rubbish.
I told him one day that I can't stand tea, I can't even stand the smell of it so he started to lecture me that I obviously havn't tried the right brand & I should go out & try every brand as I will find one I like.
I'm old enough to know that I hate parsnips, peanut butter, strong curries, cups of tea & nuts with chocolate.
I don't lecture people on their tastes so don't lecture me
Facebook has so many peeves it's not even funny.
Stop telling me every small detail about your life, I don't really care what you had for breakfast.
Stop poking me, if you havn't realised after all these years that I won't ever poke you back then get off facebook & concentrate on getting an education.
Serial likers, i'm fine with people clicking on the like icon but certain people like everything, are they stalking me or do they have OCD? No-one likes everything for petes sake!
Debating on face book, to be fair i've had many stimulating debates on facebook over the years but i've had far more mind numbing debates.
There are certain debating tactics people employ on facebook (& most forums) that wind me up.
Mis-quoting, certain people will take part of a sentence out of context & try & twist your meaning or subtly change a word or two when they quote you, I simply point out that if they can't quote me accurately then i'll not waste my time with them.
People who ignore rational posts, you can have half a dozen people making rational valid points & one person posting rubbish, the valid/educated points will be ignored & the stupid one wil be used to justify someones point of view even with pages of well researched evidence to the contrary.
Spelling police, just because someones spelling isn't perfect it doesn't invalidate their point.
People who take no reply as a victory, some people spend all day on facebook, others only pop on for an hour a day (like me), i've had debates with people & thought i'd gotten through to them but when I log on the next day I see a post from them that as I didn't reply at 3 am they won the debate. You didn't win the debate, I just had to go to bed to be ready for work (that's the thing some people do when not on facebook 24/7)
People who walk out of shop doors into foot traffic as if they think they have right of way because they just spent money - so other people already walking along have to dodge out of their way ::).
It's come to my attention that I do a lot of stuff mentioned here. :3 It's good to know I can so easily rustle people. >=3
Oh here's one, people who get uppity when I friend them on facebook or when I message them. At that point the troll button is clicked in me and I just have to pester these people. Don't get mad at me if you accept and I am nothing but sweet to you. :o They act as if I personally got onto their table and pissed in their cornflakes.
Oh one more thing I have to add. This one is very trans related. When my friend from the UK whines about how long she has to wait to get into her surgery list. It's like ok cool but you still get free surgery, meds, everything else so why are you complaining about it to someone who will probably have to save her entire life? Seriously? Then you get mad at me because I say I will never be able to save up the insane amount required? Shut the math up! >_<

I agree. Honestly, I really don't like it when people criticize the simplicity of my diet. They always brag about how they can cook some French cuisine with an name that is impossible to pronounce. You know what, stewed beef, rice, beans, and some fruit is a good dinner to me. Honestly, I don't think that one serving should take longer to prepare than the time it takes to eat. Dumbasses...

See, I love the conversations about food; I mean, food is meant to be shared. And there is definitely something to be said about taking the time to go all out, but my opinion is definitely biased. I really hope that I don't come across as bragging about cooking when I talk to people, and now I'm going to be even more self-conscious of that fact.
But I try to never criticize someone else's diet. The only time I speak up is when I see something really dangerous, and even then I try to be diplomatic about it. But overall, like I said in a previous post, everybody should eat what they like, wether it be a 30-course degustation or a bowl of cereal. Makes no difference to the outcome of my day/week/life. As long as you're happy, I'm happy :)

Exactly. I don't care about what anyone eats. My only problem is when people say things like, "Your food requires no effort to prepare. It's like you don't even care about good taste." --> Yes, someone actually said that to me.

I hate it when people poke fun because your eating habits are healthy. Why would you do that?
Because they're jealous of your healthy, lean body while they're gorging themselves on crap and looking like what they eat. Hmph.
People who drive past stop signs without stopping.

I work in retail, so I have some retail related peeves too...
Being stopped for something when I'm on my lunch break.
Checks. Just that, it always takes them forever to write them out.
People who go to the wrong lane, even though there's a closed sign at the register (there's only three lanes/registers where I work... so...). I could understand it more if we didn't have the closed signs... but we do.
Impatient people.

Pedestrians that walk at a snail pace in a parallel formation blocking the sidewalls. Move!
OAP mobility scooters on the pavement, i'd not think of denying elderly people any means to get out & about but for gods sake slow down!!
I know many of the elderly have been reduced to a snails crawl when on foot & maybe this is why they drive these scooters at full speed through pedestrian areas, from their point of view it must look like a car chase in a film with people jumping left & right to avoid being run over.
All i'm asking is for them to show a bit of care around pedestrians, is that too much to ask for?

People asking me why I have my bike helmet on in school. Um, I commute by bike and like my hands to be free? Duh.
People asking me why I have my bike helmet on in school. Um, I commute by bike and like my hands to be free? Duh.
Ummm, get a carabiner clip and hook it to your belt, otherwise you look like the kid who has to wear the helmet because they tend to fall down a lot.
Face it, the helmets are hardly a fashion statement, and even the hipsters don't wear them as some sort of ironic deal.
I only wear basketball shorts. No belt. :P
My school also doesn't have a special ed program, so they know that's not it. What really annoys me, though, is how much of a big deal faculty make of it. "If I see that on your head one more time, I'll take it." So annoying. >:(
Let's get one thing clear. On my head, a helmet is protection. In my hand, it's a weapon that can dent steel without a scratch.

Basketball shorts are ALL you wear???!?
It's getting pretty cold, I wear my ex's oversized trench coat, but I'm getting a fleece jacket.
So you never wear jeans? Skinny jeans? Slim fits? Levi's...nothing???
Never liked denim. It's overpriced and uncomfortable, to me.
Ok, so maybe basketball shorts are ALL I wear. I also have a ripped pair of sneakers, a t-shirt, a light sweater, and heavy-duty gloves I got off the street for $4. :P

And I thought I liked to save money cause I waited for holiday deals to buy things :3
Once I start making some serious cash, I might spend a bit more. Even then, I'm only talking about thrift stores and at most Sears//Modells (My idea of splurging is sad :-\). However, as for now, I don't want to ask my parents for money that will go to waste on guy clothes that I won't ever wear after transition.
Why not leave the helmet on the bike? That's what I do. I mean I can't find words to express how much I hate the thing, but between riding in the city where I get to channel my inner bike messenger and out in the hills.
Denim ain't my favorite, it's like wearing pants made out of a sail (which is what it is basically, its a different weave of canvas), but it does wear like crazy, probably can take more abuse than just about any other natural fabric. Which is why it makes the best work clothes, saying you don't own any denim is like saying you don't do any real physical labor.
I use U-locks and, sometimes, there are bikes on every rack, making it harder to lock my helmet to my bike.
As for denim being equated to physical labor: Not true. I don't wear denim simply because I don't like it. I do lots of physical labor, only in basketball shorts. :P
Oh, I thought of another pet peeve (Please don't take offense, Tekla; it's nothing personal): Baseless assumptions.
Heck if it wasn't for baseless assumptions there would be no assumptions at all. And it's not baseless - lots and lots of jobs, in most places won't let you work if that's how your dressed. Not even me. I figure that since I can't make my crew act like adults, I can at least make them dress that way. And its not a matter of taste, it's that I hate filling out accident reports.
So I guess I could put that down as my pet peeve - people who show up to do things looking like they obviously don't understand what they are going to be doing. I had a bunch of temp labor show up in Kansas to load out Van's Warped Tour many years ago and damn if several weren't wearing Teva sandals or Chuck Taylor All Stars and I'm like "Damn, no flip-flops?" They asked me what I wanted them to do and I told them "why don't you all go stand over there and smoke or something, you'll all get paid, but I ain't letting you anywhere near the stage, equipment or trucks." Like I said, I hate filling out accident reports.
Oh gosh, tell me about it. I despise paperwork! :icon_chainsaw:
Anywho, you don't need a physical job to perform physical labor. :P
Quote from: tekla on October 20, 2012, 10:12:04 AM

Sorry to disagree so strongly but that statement is a load of rubbish, nothing personal but I disagree 100%.
I've spent around 10 years doing hard physical labour inone form or another & during that time I didn't own jeans, the fabric on mens jeans is too coarse for my skin (i've recently discovered that womens jeans are far softer).
One job I did for 2 years involved transhipping & order picking tyres, we handled tyres for small stuff like motorbikes but the bulk of the tyres was roughly a 50/50 split between car tyres & truck tyres.
On a busy night we would recieve around 20 tonnes of tyres & each person would lift each tyre 3 times, that meant each person lifted up to 60 tonnes a night, it was the hardest job i've ever done & everyone wore either trousers or sturdy tracksuit bottoms.
When you spend the night dripping in your own sweat chaffing can be a serious issue, each of us would have a hand towel tucked into our belts to wipe the sweat from our faces before it got into your eyes, we would even work in t-shirts at night with several inches of snow on the ground.
Let's see...hmmm:
Dr. Who, Anime, Manga (whatever that is), Science Fiction, the word "nice," commitment-phobic guys, people that use the word "we" when they refer to sports teams they like, poison perfume, high-waisted jeans, suits on guys that aren't tailored, assumptions, when people add an 's' on to the word mine = mines, when people sing out loud to music...in public...other than at a karaoke bar, intolerant peeps, candy aisles, one word answers to thoughtful questions, the color green on me some days (others it's fine), people who refer to SRS/GRS/GCS, etc. as The Surgery (non trans peeps), people who are chronically late, smelly feet, unkempt desks in the work place, dirty dishes, r & b, hipsters who don't shower regularly, when the gas light comes on in my car, people who take their time crossing a crosswalk, when milk is expired by like a day or two, that stupid 5 pounds i can't seem to ever loose, realizing i could go on and on lol :) Meghan
Really, the word "nice"? Why?

Diana, it's one of those vague words that doesn't mean a lot. "Do you like him?" I mean he's really nice and all. "How was the party?" It was nice. And for the one word answer, I meant more questions like "So what are you thinking about?" Nothing "How was your day?" Fine "How do you feel about where we are going? Are you comfortable?" Yeah. Lol, those kinds of questions met with one word = grrrrr.
people who are chronically late
I'd go with that being something much bigger than a peeve. It's a serious character flaw, that speaks to both total disrespect for others as well as speaking volumes about how little awareness the person actually has. And it's the easiest reason in the world to fire someone - who would undoubtedly loudly protest how they 'had it out for them' when the reality is that they could not have served up a better reason on a platter.
I had a boss once explain it in a near perfect manner. When the person showed up 10 minutes late the boss starts yelling at him for being an hour late. Dude protests, point to the clock and saying he's only 10 minutes late. Boss tells him to count the people there. Dude does, comes up with 6. Boss - still yelling - shouts: "In my book 6 x 10 = 60, and that's an hour." See, we're all waiting for you, you're late for everyone, not just yourself.
I freely admit - and I warn people upfront, BigTime, so there is total disclosure - that I have like less than zero tolerance for late, and that's due to lengthy training by a Jedi master at being on time, my dad the airline pilot. He did it through many means, but my favorite (one I would repeat on my kids, successfully making them just as anal about it as me) is that if I asked him to drive me and my friends to the mall at 10:30, and we showed up at 10:35, well that train had left the station and we better start walking if we wanted to go to the mall. If we wanted to go at 10:35 we should have said so, and for damn sure he had better things to do than wait around for us. You only made that mistake a couple of times. We learned that if we wanted to go at 10:30 we best be telling our idiot friends to be there at 10, if not 9:30, so poorly were they trained.
One of my best friends, Miss Margaret, who couldn't be on time to save her life (but I loved so dearly that I wanted her with me that she got special treatment). I'd just flat-out lie to her about when we wanted/had to leave. If I wanted to go at 10 I'd tell her 9 every time. It worked out. But she was exceptional, so I found a way to deal with it. And if you're not Miss Margaret, you're out of luck.
And I'm not the only one, being late is one of the few real sins in theater (theater - in the largest sense of the word, including movies, concerts, et.all.). This is due to that entire how many people are waiting for you deal. It's also because - as it was once explained to me - that in theater the only two real things we work with are time and money, and you better not mess with either. I put up with a lot, cut a lot of slack and tolerate things that almost no boss anywhere would tolerate. (Like employees showing up tripping balls, like allowing the workplace to be a place where happily "harass" is still two words - think about it- and not being able to find people who were on the clock because they were having sex somewhere.) But I don't do late. (Or stealing/theft/borrowing - if you want it, ask - or lying.)
And that's the same basic deal for students when I teach too.

I was walking through the park sometime last year & a teenager German shepard dropped a parcel right in the middle of a path, the lad went to walk away so I shouted at hm to pick it up.
He gave the typical teenage "I don't care" shrug & mumbled that he didn't have any bags with him, I responded that a good dog owner will have bags, as I said this I pulled a handfull of poo bags out of my coat pocket (I always keep a few in my coat in case I forget to pick up more when I go out with poopie).
I swear the poor lad was retching as he picked it up, I stood there & watched until he'd gotten every bit.

It is a responsibility, People who cannot take responsibility for their pets should not have them to begin with IMO... Plus it is just disrespectful
Oh this reminds me of another one, people that leave dirty diapers in public places like parking lots rather than finding a proper place to dispose of them :P I've even seen people through dirty diapers out of their car windows
It's like respecting others just takes to much effort
Hey, it ain't easy being green. Imagine a world where you never get to say "I was misunderstood", or "That's not what I meant". or where you never had to opportunity to just say things in such a way that no one really understood what you were trying to say in the first place, and hence never held you to it. That's my world.

I agree with this, I hate it when people don't respect your space. The worst for me is when someone stands inches away from you whilst talking & sprays you with their saliva as they speak (it turns my stomach).
One person in my last job would do this & if you took a step back he's take a step towards you, i'm sure he'd stand closer if his gut wasn't so big.
(This next big is gross, if you have a weak stomach then skip past this) As if this wasn't bad enough when this man had been working hard his nose would run, as he's spraying you whilst talking all you could think about is the fact that his top lip was coated with snot like a child, many times my stomach would heave just looking at him (WIPE YER BLOODY NOSE!!)

I had a commander in the Military that was like this. One time he was talking with me in a facility I ran. Every time I stepped back, he stepped forward. Eventually we were outside. He stopped talking, and asked me why we were outside. I told him it was because he needs to learn the value of personal space. He laughed and from then on always kept an arms length between us.

"It's a hop and a skip that way." --> Yes... and so's my foot from your balls. :icon_chainsaw:

c. Algebra. Seriously, mixing numbers and letters? C'mon! :P
Busses are really starting to make me angry lately.
I'm late to college almost every day, it doesn't seem to matter how early I leave the house. It seems the earlier I leave, the later the buses will be running. It drives me completely insane that the journey time listed on the timetables say it should take me 50 minutes to get from my house to college.
Yet most days I leave around 7.15am and don't get there until 9:15am
It bugs me even more that on all the busses there's a big sign saying something like "we take pride in running on time, 95% of our buses arrive on time - no more than 1 minute early or 5 minutes late"
My arse they do, I documented the times for a couple of weeks once and then sent in a letter of complaint with the times the buses ACTUALLY arrive. Heard nothing back. To add insult to injury the prices keep getting put up.

My personal pet peeve is people who can't drive, like refuse to use their blinker or just generally refusing to SHARE the road.
BUT, my biggest pet peeve is plagiarism!
If I did, I'm sorry, didn't know that. It does remind me, the other day I was helping a friend with writer's block and wrote the plot and a paragraph for them and then screamed plagiarist at them. lol.
Hm, pet peeves...people acting like any music outside their preferred genre is automatically the crappiest music possible. (See Youtube, any music video.) Also followed by screaming bloody murder if you insult
their brand of music.
