Pet peeves

[Bootsy Whoosh]

What are some of your pet peeves?

I know one of mine is how my local CBS station cuts into Headline News for 10 minutes of local news. Does this happen to anyone else? They cut out the "Lifestyles" segment of Headline News, which always looks very interesting but I can never watch it! If I wanted to watch local news I wouldn't be watching CNN in the first place!

I have more I'm sure, but am drawing a total blank right now. What are yours?

[Ags2000]

Nope, my headline news NEVER goes to local news.

I hate people who pretend to be something they're not.

Oh yea...and people who chew and talk with their mouthes open and full of food...........ugh.........:smash:

[AllIWantIsYourClutch]

Oh yea and when people repeat themselves.

And when your at Burger King and they say, "Please pull around and we'll bring your order to you." It's a DRIVE through!! I don't thinkits a "Pull around through."

Also, when people repeat themselves.

"Things that annoy me" by Mossopp
Part 1 (expect Parts 2 - 10001) at a later date!)

* People using the word "gay" as an insult
* Not being taken seriously because I am still under 20
* Teenagers who spend every waking minute moaning about how awful their lives are (they are all self-absorbed little cretins - I should know, I was one!!)
* The way that guys always sit with their legs wide open
* Girls who obsess over boys as if they are the be-all and end-all in life
* Those little "pull here" tabs on food packets that break off and leave your food trapped in the wrapper
* Running out of beer
* Celtic Football Club
* The way the English won the World Cup in 1966 and have been going on and on about it ever since
* The way TV stations change their schedules at the last minute and it's always the shows that [I] I [I/] wanna see that get cancelled
* The way America gets to see all the new movies, DVD's, TV shows and games consoles before Britain
* The way everything in the UK costs more than anywhere else in Europe or America
* When you're playing Nintendo, you're just about to defeat that end-of-level boss that's been kicking your a$$ for the past week, you can almost taste victory, you raise your thumb to hammer down upon the joypad and deliver the death blow.................................................and then the electricity cuts out!
* Foreigners who say "England" when they really mean "Britain"
* When you set the VCR to tape a movie and the tape runs out right before the end
* People who cause an obstruction in the supermarket while they stand in the middle of the aisles and chat to one another
* Being in McDonalds when there's a birthday party on

I could think of more but I'll be back to bore you with them later...

Extreemly materialistic people, when people take my stuff without asking, people who I let borrow things but never return them then think I'm mean or have a fit when I say no the next time, and people who think they are so much better than you or someone else.

[Ags2000]

Hey Karli, I think you forgot to mention one thing:

Happy Clowns!

-when people read over my shoulder
-when people put their stuff on my desk or whatever
-when people tell you how great and awesome and talented they are when, in reality, they aren't
-parents who think their kids can do no wrong
-The New York Yankees
-sneaky kids - the ones that the teachers and everyone think are soo nice, but they don't see them elsewhere when they're swearing and being mean and junk...I guess I could label that as phonies
-people who are all touchy-feely etc. and try to give you massages and junk when you don't want them to but they think that everyone wants a massage
-when people come someplace new or something and act like they own the place without "paying their dues" or anything
-when people swear when they're not even mad
-people who talk about parties or whatever in front of everyone else
-inside jokes!

Sheesh, I'm one annoyed person...and the sad thing is I know there are more things that annoy me! ;) Ok, somebody post a topic that does not consist of me thinking of all of these annoying things...I'm getting upset about them all over again. :D

Those three definately annoy me too!!! Some people say "damn" in every sentence and its so uneccessary and annoying.

Some other stuff that annoys me...

-People who talk about themselves the whole time that you're talking to them on the phone.

-People who dont have a mind of their own and act as if they cant do anything by themself. I mean you dont have to do everything with a friend.

-People who flat out insult you right to your face and expect you not to care because they say no offense.

-People who think they're so good looking when really they're ugly and just full of themself

-People who dont keep promises or dont stay true to their word.

-People who betray their friends just because they feel like they need to please someone else

-Whenever you give someone something and they dont even say thank you.

-Whenever a teacher calls on you just because they know you dont know the answer and they just want to make you look dumb. My history teacher always does this!

Ok I think I'm done for now.

OK well, no duh I wasn't there, but that reminds me of when we saw Harry Potter for the 4th time and the fat ppl stood up everytime I actually wanted to see that stuipd screen!
OK here's my list

~ my "friend" alexx (i mean, she's ok, but is the equivalent to suzanne sugarbaker, that's why we kept calling her suzanne today... she called me mary jo :lol:)

~People who say Annie Potts sux (or Delta Burke, but I really haven't come across anyone who said that)

~the people who think their Public Access shows RULE

UUUUUH I dunno anymore :lol:

[Blair-Lisa#1Fan]

1. I hate when you are saying something to someone and then another person goes "what r u guys talking about"?

2. I hate when people chew gum like they're cows!

3. I hate when you're talking to someone on the internet and you do all the talking and they say things like "uh huh" and "yea" and "lol" when you are saying these HUGE messages.

4. I hate when people are sooooo self-absorbed and they think they are so perfect and pretty.

5. I hate when people are scared to do things just cuz they don't wanna get dirty.

6. I hate when people say they aren't scared to go on a roller coaster and then you get there in the line and they say they don't want to go on it anymore. That drives me crazy! I had to go on one by myself!

7. I hate when your friend gets to do something fun but you can't go with her and then she comes back and says "omg! i had the best time!!!"

8. I hate when people try to show off.

9. I hate when people judge you before they even know you.

[Blair-Lisa#1Fan]

oh, i also hate when you are watching tv and your sister walks by and changes the channel without asking. and also when you're watching tv and you are sitting on the couch and your sister goes in front of the screen and starts dancing. That is soooooo annoying! Also when you make something for someone and it takes you a really long time and then they go "oh, cool!" and then they take it home and then you go to their house and you see it under their bed or something. lol That's all for now.

SAME HERE!!! They always cut out the 10 most interesting minutes in the news just to bring me my local news! I hate when they do that too. And ironically, it's my local CBS who does that too! :lol:

1. People that just cannot seem to go the speed limit on two-lane highways. If you're going to go 45, get off the road!!!!

2. People on cell phones when they drive

3. Women in minivans

4. Obnoxious Children

5. Computers that just refuse to cooperate

6. Profs that are very anal about people missing class

7. Hunger

8. People that ought to know better that just cannot spell simple words right (that's the English major in me)

9. That stupid liquid road salt they put on the roads every time the weatherman says it's going to snow. Of course they're wrong half the time and that crap ends up ALL OVER my car.

10. Not being able to find a parking space

11. Classes that are over an hour long! :)

12. Anyone that tells me my opinion is wrong or tells me their opinion is right but have no evidence to back it up.

Since I'm writing a paper on England, this has me wondering. Is "Britain" England, Scotland, and Wales and "England" is just England?

God! I cannot believe that Americans still don't get this!!!
Britain (or the UK - whichever you wanna call it) is made up of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Even though they all make up Britain - Scotland, England and Wales are all separate countries in their own right.
It p#sses me off when foreigners say "England" when they really mean Britain. The English think they're so f#cking clever as it is without people talking about them like they are the only country in the UK!!!! :mad:



Sorry for the rant. I just get real mad about this stuff.

[Warm & Fuzzy]

- When someone reads over my shoulder

- When someone tosses my jacket/bookbag on the floor when hung in a publc school closet...

- When someone blasts the radio on the train

- When someone has candy and is chewing it in front of my face just to acknowledge that I don;t have any.

- When a pigeon flies over my head...

- DTV, when there is a bad connection. (Not a good sight)

- Wen ppl type lek i m doin' now. (I dispise slang-lish typing stuff, lol)

- When someone IMs you when you have a away message on.

- When people smokes. (second-hand smoke....cough cough)

- When someone turns down the volume of the TV as soon as they pick up the phone

- When someone doesn't flush (ewww)

- When someone tells a lie and then admits to it a week later (better but not admiting at all, but you know what I mean)

Okay, okay. I just wanted to make sure I got it right. I didn't want to say Britain when all I meant was England. No harm done.

[Bootsy Whoosh]

These particular ones made me think of a few more...

Yeah, that, and I also hate it when I see guys sitting in a movie theatre with like 4 or 5 seats between them. Now these are guys that are friends, I know because oftentimes I'll see them come in together, but when they sit down they have to sit really far apart. I have observed this on several occasions. The only thing I can think of to explain this is that these guys think that if they sit next to each other when there is room to spread out that they will be seen as gay. It's always like 13-17 year olds that I see doing this.

:lol: That just made me think how I'm always complaining about how Riker on Star Trek sits with his legs wide open. Like really really really wide open. I mean we all know Riker is supposed to be the token stud of Next Gen, but it really bothers me how he sits like that all the time. It's almost as if he's thinking "look at my penis", :lol:, at least that's what I think! :crazy:

Originally posted by Mossopp

That's not always true. I cannot even tell you how often I have had to sit through listening to my friends bitch endlessly about how The Family Guy is available on DVD in Britain but not in the US, and the fact that you would need a Region 2 player and a PAL TV to play them even if you imported them....

* People who cause an obstruction in the supermarket while they stand in the middle of the aisles and chat to one another

Yeah, I hate it even more when people stop their cars in the middle of a one lane street to talk to someone on the side of the road!! This happens quite frequently in the campus area.

I also agree with WingsFan, I also hate it when people use the Bible as an excuse to hate.
