What's Your Pet Peeve?

[Stevenson]

For me, its people who use the word "literally" when they actually mean "really" e.g., "I was literally blown away by what she said!"

On a side note, I also hate the use of the word "like." (Think I have teenagers?)

What's yours?

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

"like" is annoying, especially when someone uses it 2-3 times per sentence.

People who leave their blinker on long after they've changed lanes, or people that wait until the last second to merge and force their way in even though they've known the merge was coming a mile away.

and when HCP's girl calls me more than twice in one day.

 

[Stevenson]

Or how about people who enter the intersection on a yellow light, with traffic backed up ahead, KNOWING they will be blocking the intersection when it turns red?

bus drivers

people on aeroplanes that cut in front of the rows in front of them to exit faster.

Sitting on hold for an hour while a machine repeats endlessly "your call is very important to us".

Makes me wish I believed in hell (I don't) because I wish those who put those messages on spend eternity hearing "your call is very important to us".

Also my neighbor who does not keep his dog fenced, a big dog - do you know how much dog shit I've had to shovel off my plants? I had to bury a whole season's rhubarb when the dog crapped all over it.

my girlfriend says "10 to 1" so and so alot and i fucking lose it.

"10 to 1 she wont wanna go out tonight." but that is actually crap odds, 10% so i cant stand it.

Toss all the shit on your neighbors front porch.

 

[Minstrel]

When people say "supposively" instead of "supposedly."

Also, when people say "should/could/would of" instead of "should/could/would have."

 

[blue32]

When people ask a question then end it with "or no?"
e.g "do you want to go to the movies, or No?"

It's like, let me fucking answer the god damned question before you ask me another one!

I hate it when people don't use their blinkers. It drives me crazy.

I don't like it when people don't tip an appropriate amount at a bar and I don't like it when people are rude/domineering with waiters/waitresses.

I'm sure I have a lot more, but I try to bury them deep inside rather than focus on them... until what I've tried to forget happens in front of me and I get upset about it all over again.

People who drive 50 mph on a two-lane highway and then speed up to 75 when an uphill passing lane appears.

This happens all of the time on HWY 26 in the Coast range as well as on the Santiam HWY.

Explosive diarrhea.

People who don't understand the glory of "Sham Wow!".

(Dude that is a funny avy, lol)

 

[Minstrel]

Explosive diarrhea.

In yourself or others?

Btw, did you know that you can actually clean up explosive diarrhea with a sham wow? It absorbs like 900% of it's own weight in..well...whatever do, don't try to squeeze it out into a clear pie pan to show your friends how absorbent it is. I know from experience.

 

[julius]

In yourself or others?

I don't care if I have it. In fact, I've done some of my best thinking while sitting on the crapper.

Are you a bigger fan of Vince Offer's ShamWow work or his SlapChop work?

To keep this on topic, a pet peeve of mine is people who don't understand the brilliance of Offer's pitchman art.

I don't think you can beat the "You're going to love my nuts" comment. Plus, while the sham-wow is a neat concept, you have to admit that the Slap chop is the best product he's selling.

Making a salad is such a troublesome and time consuming activity. And I do have a boring life. With the Slap-chop, I'm all but guaranteed to get me some.

What really grinds my gears is when you work hard to get a girl drunk, give her a few roofies and when you go to make sweet unconscious love to her, she throws up on you. And when you try to use the throw up as lube, the police show up and arrest you.

 

[Minstrel]

Yeah. "Are you with me, camera guy?" is pretty win, though.

I know eh, happened last night, with your mom.

Yes, but it really only has one connotation which could be taken from it. "You're going to love my nuts" not only has comical innuendo prospects in it, but it has some truth in it. Chopped up nuts do taste good.

I don't like it when people don't tip an appropriate amount at a bar .....

Eh, that's just an American thing (the tipping). Over in Germany, you don't tip. You pay what you pay, and if they offer EXTRAORDINARY service you tip, maybe. They're under the ideal that the customer came into my bar/store/restaurant, that's good enough.


I've never had better service, and nicer people being over in Germany/Europe. (Except Paris) and tipping just isn't part of the equation.

Sounds good to me. If you're such a loser you rape a woman, I hope your ass gets slammed. And that you get puked and that she has diarrhea. All over you.

I agree that tipping seems out of hand. I just got back from a cruise and they expected me to tip $300 for the week - for head waiters, maids, bartenders, etc. Half the people I never even met.

I opted out and tipped a few I knew.

If someone is underpaid, it is not my problem.
