Pet Peeves

[tbach24]

I have many, but here are some that are big:

1. People gossiping in front of you about people you know

The other day my teacher was doing this with the secretary during lunch while I was in the lunch. I wanted to tell them to STFU.

2. People who talk about being a big drinker or pot head

My roomate does this all the time, I always want to tell him to STFU, but sadly he doesn't take criticsm well and is somewhat of a spaz and could definetly kick my ass.

3. People who don't practice good hygeine

This kid who lives in the room next to me smells worse than anything. I get him to shower like twice per week, but it does no good because he returns wearing the same clothes as before that he never washes. Gross. Also, he sleeps in his clothes.

Anyone have any good ones?

You mean apostrophe right? I spent about a minute thinking about whether or not this was right. Glad to know I was wrong.

[Lazymeatball]

i dunno, i thought i read here that you go to some weird small school, so i was just razzing you.

the people i really hate are the ones who mislabel apostrophes as commas.

oh yeah, i edited the other comment so i wouldn't appear to be such a douchebag.

and yet, something makes me think i'm never actually going to be able to rid myself of the label "comma guy."

[Skipbidder]

I'm not going to call you the comma guy, because I like ATHF. If you need anything, there's some ants.

When my friend is driving somewhere with me in the car and I'm nice enough not to tell him how bad his music is, and then later when I'm driving my friend somewhere listening to my music he says "this song sucks" and switches the song before I can stop him.

Overweight/moderately ugly girls who think they're hotter than they are and say things like "If you wanna get with me..."

People who make unreasonable requests and get mad if you don't do it.

Also I remember literally almost everything people say to me, so when someone contradicts themself on something they said a month ago and I call them on it and they claim they never said it. Happens all the time.

Another thing. I drove back from the casino with my roommate one time. At the casino they give out free copies of Card Player. My roommate took one and was reading it in the car. When we got back to our apparment he left it in my car. Once I noticed it was still in there I said "You left your magazine in the car." And then he said in kind of a mad voice "I don't care." WTF is that?

I think of more later because nearly everything pisses me off.

Absolutely pointless and tells me everything i need to know about a persons lack of redeeming qualitie's

Just thinking about it makes me wanna drive to the airport and teach some lessons in civility

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep. He's somewhat psychotic (sp?), smells bad, and takes things too far. He also doesn't understand boundaries. All of these together with the fact that he could kick my ass make me not want to fight him. Am I messing up the meaning of spaz?

[Ianco15]

I thought of another one:
People who get pissed off really easily about truely little things. For example: my friend got mad at my for logging off AIM without saying goodbye.


Ship__It.

[Ianco15]

More:
People who have skewed images of themselves. For example: my roommate who is self described as "very laid back" when in reality he is the most high strung person alive (this has been confirmed by several third parties).

Oh, and poor people.

[daryn]

how do they cheat? don't the people scanning tickets notice?

[bennyk]

they didn't tonight when i flew from o'hare.

usually they call the groups faster than they can verify whether the entire previous group has boarded, which creates a line that looks like 22323432244245524455535555 instead of 222222233333333444444445555555. it's easy to get in line before they call your group, cause by the time you get to the ticket lady, they will have called it.

this is also the reason why (if you wait for your group to be called):
a) there's never any room in the overhead bins when you finally get on the plane

b) you always have to dive over 2 people who are already settled in just to get to your seat.

as far as i can tell, there is no structural system to how the groups are separated. it would make sense to board from the back to the front; outside to inside seats. i fly a lot and i have never seen a plane board this way.

it is possible that my results are polluted by the above phenomenon.

Just a few:

1) People who feel the need to brag about their accomplishments
2) Men who hit women
3) People who feel like they own the world
4) Animal abusers
5) People who don't use turn signals
6) People who hate on boy bands. You're just jealous of their success.
7) Girls who say they're virgins but you know they're not
8) people that don't have a problem with their weight and have the nerve to make fun of and criticize those that do. These overweight people should be helped, not jeered at.
9) People that are against George W. Bush just because Texas has executed a large amount of death row inmates. Try feeling some sympathy for the victims.
10) People who are homophobic, racist, and/or anti-semitic
11) People who talk during movies
12) People who answer cell phones during movies and in nice restaurants
13) People who don't realize how incredibly lucky they are to live as well as they do when there are so many people in this world living shitty lives that are completely beyond their control.
14) no toilet paper in public bathrooms
15) People who hate the Yankees
16) People who hurt children

I guess I expect too much from people.

I know that each new generation becomes more tolerant of it, and I figured that since most people on here are 18-30, that there wouldn't be so much.

But it seems that every other post on here contains the word gay.

I'm not. But I do have a ton of gay friends, so this is a sensitive issue for me.

And I sometimes get mistaken for gay because I tend to be more concerned with my appearance than most men. I'm borderline metrosexual.

I'll post a picture sometime and let you guys decide if I "look gay" or not.

This is the first thing you've written (that I can remember) that I definitely agree with. "Gay" as a descriptor of something lame has always seemed stupid to me. But I don't think it's OOT so much as the Internet as a whole.

Me either. And that's not what I'm talking about. But talking about posters on here being gay and stuff rubs me the wrong way. Often times, it's insinuated that there is something wrong with being gay. But it's Sklansky&Malmuth's forum, and it's their rules, so I live with that. I just wish it wasn't this way.

Ok, I have probably taken more heat than anyone for calling out all the 'gay' this and 'gay' that in OOT, but this is just a funny name for a hand. Don't be such a nit.

Also, there's nothing wrong with making fun of fat people. It's NOT glandular. Get off your fat ass or you're going to die of debilitating, embarassing diseases, so alone that nobody will even sponge-bathe you as you rot away from the inside out.

Coming up to your desk and grab something like a stapler and then walk over to a cabinet to staple their papers, and leave their stapler on the cabinet. If you wanted it on the cabinet, you would have put it there in the first place! How friggin hard is it to turn around and put the damn thing back??? This comes under "passive aggressive arsehole tricks" to me.

Trying to make ridiculous dodges on things that they're obviously responsible for. Like a roommate from Brazil who looks at the phone bill and says, "Those aren't my calls. It could have been ANYBODY calling Brazil!" That makes you not only deal with the damage they've caused, but waste valuable time being basically told they have no respect for you and think you're the stupidest person on the planet. Nice way to compound a situation and make it worse instead of just cutting the crap.

Women that give you that snotty "In your dreams!" contemptuous or angry rejection look like you've been staring at them longingly for hours or something and they're sick to death of it, when actually you're just looking around the room and just now laid eyes on them. It's even more bizarre when they're unattractive and probably don't figure in anybody's dreams in the first place.

Making loud eating sounds. That gurgling and slopping food around wetly in your mouth really spoils my appetite.

Attending to private bodily functions in public, especially when you touch stuff afterwards that I'm going to have to handle. Nose picking and toe nail clipping are private joys. I don't want to see you dig your nose for five minutes and study your boogers for the secrets of the universe, then grab the handrail next to me on the subway.

Not controlling your kids in restaurants or movies. Well, people in general who haven't been forcibly sterilized by the government.

People who come into your place and start opening drawers and cabinets looking around. Sometimes they do it right in front of you and don't even give any explanation. They're just nosy.

Working politics or religion into every friggin possible sentence or situation, no matter how inappropriate or absurd. People choosing an ice cream flavor at the Dairy Queen don't want to hear WTF you think George Bush has to do with it. And I don't care that now that you've found Jesus, you realize that even that car that almost just crashed into us is part of God's great plan.

Salesclerks who treat you rudely for no reason. That includes continuing to yap away while you are waiting for them at the register, giving you dirty looks because they're a different race than you are, not listening to you so they can't possibly answer any questions you have, and always seeking out the customer with the most expensive clothes to help, even if you were waiting first.

Neighbors who play loud music, especially if they do it late at night or early in the morning. Same with people driving through neighborhoods late at night with ear shattering car stereos blazing away.

Young guys who swagger down the street giving everyone dirty looks, just spoiling for a fight.

People who walk down a narrow sidewalk and play tough/jackass by not wanting to let a guy staggering along with his arms full of boxes and bags by without challenging him for the sidewalk space. If you're young and healthy and if someone is carrying stuff, move your lame, discourteous, stupid punk ass out of the way! You'll be a better "man" for it, others will like you more for it, and you'll like yourself better too.

This also goes for women who act like just because they're women, courtesy is unnecessary. Move your ass out of the way once in a while! It won't kill ya, and the world doesnt' revolve around your share of personal glory and entitlement in every waking moment.

Racists. Getting dirty hateful looks and general hostility from people who don't even know you is just stupid beyond compare. I shudder to think so many arseholes are actually out there having children and teaching them all the wrong things.

Me too. A lot of people are habitual, casual liars and assume everyone else in the room is stupid. Not good when you get caught. I remember almost everything too and can often quote peoples' exact words back at them with implacable calm and utter conviction, so half-assed lying to me almost never works out. There's no cure for deep stupidity, though.
