Pet Peeves anyone?

[INTELBYTES]

Driving into work this morning down I-35 I had some idiot driving the speed-limit in the left lane. People bug me that think it's their civic duty to ensure everyone is driving the speed-limit. :mad:

[INTELBYTES]

1. Oh yeah, and people that own stereo equipment that cost more than my car.

[david_vincent]

2. Get the last laugh

Buy stock in Beltone. Deafness is the fastest growing disability in the country, IIRC.

[eyesroll]

3. They made it illegal in IL to do that...

You're no longer allowed to drive in the left lane for more than a half mile, even if you're going over the speed limit, unless you're passing, paying a toll, avoiding snow/a tow truck/an accident/massive congestion, or exiting.

[INTELBYTES]

6. It's the law in Texas as well.

It's even posted between Austin and San Marcos, but I've never seen it enforced.

[Nailzberg]

15. Now they just have to give me a ticket book.

These people still won't get out of my way. Move it, lane hogs!

[Obamarama]

4. I fly a lot...

I'm usually the last one off the plane as I refuse to be part of the ridiculous traffic jam as people try to get off the plane. Because I am 6'5", I usually get an aisle seat so I can stretch out, where I remain until the cabin has cleared out.

What REALLY pisses me off is when people lean up and pull their stuff out of the overhead bins and, because they are too far away to adequately grasp what they're reaching for, it hits me square on the head.

One woman even had the nerve to say after I admonished her for nearly cracking my skull open: "Well if you weren't still sitting down, it wouldn't have happened"

Much unpleasantness ensued, which ended with me telling the woman
"Bite me bitch"

[terrya]

5. People driving down the street with their car stereos BOOMING.

With the bass turned WAY too high. I mean, when you can hear someones car stereo with the car's windows UP, that is just plain too fucking LOUD. That's noise pollution, folks.

[Intelsucks]

7. Drivers in Austin, Texas. They've got to be the worst in the world.

Nothing I see people do surprises me anymore.

I've seen demolition derbys that were more organized than a trip through town here on any given day.

[JasonDeter]

8. People who cut in line.

[Tripper11]

14. I'll add to that...

people who cut in line in traffic. When a lane is merging to one and for some reason some people feel they can go as far as they can without getting in line like the rest...then push their way in.
Just because some people are in a vehicle I guess the non-human contact gives them the right to butt in line.

[INTELBYTES]

16. Dude you must live in Austin!!

Sometimes I think that's a sporting event here. I'm the a**hole in the big truck that usually tries to block them from moving up further.

[tedoll78]

39. I do that here in Austin too!

When HWY 72 eastbound merges into one lane as it approaches I35, I will sit my truck across both the left and right lanes so that no one may cut. That aggrivates the hell outta me.

[JasonDeter]

17. If at all possible they NEVER get in front of me. hehe.

My goal is to see them rolling end over end down the freeway!
Just kidding.

[Intelsucks]

18. I always thought that the other drivers should pinch them off

and not let them in.

The sign says LANE ENDS 1/2 MILE

The sign says LANE ENDS 1/4 MILE

Get a freakin' clue and merge you idiot! :mad:

[JasonDeter]

9. People who let them cut in line.

[JasonDeter]

10. Rude cashiers.

[absyntheNsugar]

11. People who say "anywho"

ARRRGHHHH!!!

[JasonDeter]

12. Cashiers who don't say thank you after you pay for your stuff.

[JasonDeter]

13. Anywho, thats about it.

[Rulergirl]

19. I hate it when women file their nails b/c it just grates on my nerves

I'm a woman also, so don't get me on this :-)

[SiobhanClancy]

20. Annoying cell phone use...

For example,when I am on the bus or subway(or in any public place)and someone is having a very personal conversation right next to me(why is that people talking on cell phones talk louder than if the person was sitting right next to them?).Also people who walk around talking on the cell phones and plow right into you,because they are unable to see where they're going while talking.(They probably can't walk and chew gum at the same time,either).I realize that cell phones are here to stay...unfortunately. It would be nice if the merest hint of good manners could be employed by their users,though.

[Obamarama]

21. Subscription cards in magazines....

Especially in the magazines I already subscribe to. And there's never just ONE. There must be a rule that there can be no fewer than 10 or 11.

I don't get mad, though, I get even.

I remove them from each magazine when it arrives and send them back blank. They are postage paid, which means the offending publisher has to pay the postage to recieve it back in the mail.

I must send out 50 to 60 a month. Will it stop them from inserting them in the magazine? Probably not. Does it make me feel better? YES!

[jpgray]

22. People who overuse the word "meme"

People who write "here, here", "tow the line" or "definately."

FOR NOW AND ALL TIME, THE PHRASES ARE:

"Hear, hear!"

"Toe the line."

"Definitely!"

Thank you.

:crazy:

[MercutioATC]

46. Oooh! and "strawman". Annoying, isn't it?

.

[Intelsucks]

23. Junk mail. Piles and piles of junk mail. Talk about a waste of trees!

n/t

[INTELBYTES]

24. Any post that mentions cats or kitties. Yep, that should piss someone off!

[flamingyouth]

25. Improper use of "apostrophe's"

:grr:

That just peeves me.

[INTELBYTES]

26. having to order ketchup with my french fries.

Hello!

[Bundbuster]

27. Political fundies quoting the Bible as fact

I've told a few of them, who would change my constitutional rights based on biblical scripture, that there should be equal credence and weight given to books such as Alice In Wonderland and Brave New World, as they are all books written by humans.

[donco6]

28. That's my number one

If you're not passing people, PULL OVER!!! ARRGGHH!

Throwing litter/cigarettes out the window is another.

Talking loudly on a cell phone in public bugs me, but I suppose I'm just going to have to get over that. (Why do some people have to scream into their phone??)

[tigereye]

30. parking lots full of Lexi and those Mercedes SUVs

People who have more money than sense or think that an expensive car entitles them to drive dangerously and rudely. and McMansions! Sorry I like beautiful old houses.

[INTELBYTES]

29. being late anywhere because of the wife.

[INTELBYTES]

31. people who piss on public toilet seats.

I wonder if they do that at home as well? Neanderthals!!

[101 Proof]

32. People shopping in public.

I hate people who shop. As I've said in previous posts on different threads, they're inconsiderate when it comes to others.

Oh, and stupid Republicans are my #1 pet peeve. No need to elaborate.

[VelmaD]

33. People who can't spell "y'all" correctly

It's y'all dammit. Y-apostrophe-a-l-l. Not "Ya'll". It's an abbreviation of you all. The apostrophe replaces the missing letters. Y'all!!!

[INTELBYTES]

34. Nope, that ain't quite right.

In Texas "ya'll" is a contraction for "ya (you) all".

You know, see ya! Or watch'ya doing?

So when your talking about ya all it's ya'll.

[VelmaD]

36. Well, I am from Texas...

and I have never heard that nonsense before. :-)

It is always you all - sometimes you is singular and sometimes plural. But either way it is y'all. So there. :P

[INTELBYTES]

37. Oh great another Austinite!!

I'm just getting ready to leave AMD and head home for the night.
Ya'll be good now!!

[VelmaD]

38. Only an adopted Austinite...

I have serious redneck "street cred" on issues of Texas slang. I'm originally from a little town out in the middle of nowhere in Northeast Texas.

[dodgerartful]

49. right.

[101 Proof]

63. I've always seen "y'all" spelled y'all...

never like "ya'll"

[jus_the_facts]

66. you aren't readin' any o'my posts..as that's how it's ALWAYS spelled.....

.....however WRONG it may be...I'm just gonna keep on spellin' it that way now..'cuz I loooove to peeve people off like that...OUTTA SPITE! :evilgrin:

[101 Proof]

68. Doesn't bother me one bit.

:)

[jus_the_facts]

70. Thank you Fire Water....

;-)

[booksenkatz]

40. VelmaD... I... I think I love you

I have spent 43 years of my life trying to get people to spell y'all correctly!!! Also, when I moved up here to Michigan, I found that everyone falls over laughing when you use the word y'all, a word which, to me, is as natural as breathing. I remember a girl I worked with coming down the hall laughing, saying, "Oh my God, she even uses 'y'all' in her memos!" I said, yeah, I do, so what? My husband grew up in England, he cringes when I say it. And yet it sounds so perfect to my ears!

I'm from Ft. Worth, BTW.:hi:

[VelmaD]

41. I am so happy that it isn't just me

And I am SO sure that there isn't something weird your husband says that's an English-ism. :eyes:

As far as I'm concerned, the little differences in how people talked are part of what makes life interesting. :-)

[jus_the_facts]

45. well NOW I'm peeved because to SOME people.......

....my spellin' ignorance...makes *you all* angry....well..BOO HOO and I curse yer names! :P


...I've spelled it ya'll...all my life dammit!!! Ain't pissed people off for so long it's now accepted! x(

[camero]

48. Neither Nither Either Either

Y'all, Ya'll. What's the difference, Y'all? :)

[jus_the_facts]

50. potato....potatoe....tomato....tomatoe....let's call the whole thing off!

....before somebody get's PEEVED! :evilgrin:

[camero]

53. I'm peeved

But I made it to the bathroom. :P

Edit: Oh that's PEEED. Sorry

[jus_the_facts]

57. LOL...glad you made it....

...and ever'thang came out alright?! :D

[camero]

62. Whew

That was a close one. :D

[jus_the_facts]

71. Don't you just HATE IT when that happens......

:evilgrin:

[camero]

72. Yeah

Kidneys.......ouch ouch. :) It's my pet peeve.

[Kathleen04]

35. Mine:

1) People who stop walking to spit..no spitting!

2) People who drive and switch back and forth from lane to lane passing people.

3) People who leave campaign bumper stickers on their car too long after the election, no offense if anyone here still has any Gore/Lieberman stickers on their car, but you can peel them off now! ;)

[dodgerartful]

42. yeah, he shoulda got

out of your way so you could speed...

[jimbo fett]

43. Co-workers who listen to geezer rock. Eh, Intelbytes?

[INTELBYTES]

51. You know it 7blades!!

[CanuckAmok]

44. the term "very unique", and apostrophe abuse's

"Unique" is an absolute. Either something is unique, as in one-of-a-kind, or it's not unique. There is no such thing as "very" unique, but I see it and hear it often.

Also, this abuse of the apostrophe HAS to stop soon, or I'll go on a shooting rampage.

[randr]

47. Thanks for asking

My favorite pet peeve is that on leap years we put the extra day in February. Who wants a longer February? Why don't we put the extra day nest to July 4th or Labor Day?

[populistmom]

52. People who are condescending and judgemental

And people who fail to use turn signals

:mad:

[JVS]

54. inability to use the subjunctive mood properly

[camero]

56. I'm in a subjunctive mood.

Must be too much coffee. :P

[SOteric]

55. People who fail to worship me in the manner I deserve.

:evilgrin:

[Lostmessage]

58. People who eat and talk at the same time

:puke:

[Shakespeare]

59. People who use "democrat" instead of "democratic" as an adjective

Just had a minor snit in GD about that very thing....drives me up a fucking WALL.

[Solly Mack]

60. I had a pet Peeves once

He kept hiding my keys

[cally]

61. Shopping cart blockers

Pull your shopping cart to the side so others can get through! Please.

[rbnyc]

64. when people put down spell checkers...

...for not knowing the difference between your, and you're. A spell checker is a helpful tool, not a replacement for having a brain.

When people speed through yellow lights, run red lights, or stop signs.

When people stop in the crosswalk.

Many, many more. Too many.

[Wonder_Cow]

65. People who don't know how to make...

an uncontrolled left turn. It's not that hard!

and people who drag their feet when they walk...that bugs me.

[DS1]

67. Intel Marketing, Apostrophe's (sic), redundant threads

:7

[shanti]

69. gum crackers

it gets on my LAST NERVE!!!

[Cat Atomic]

73. People who wear big hairstyles to the movies.

Some hairstyles are not movie-appropriate. Buns, top knots, things like that.
