What's Your Pet Peeve?

[ABM]

When I have to turn the TV down because __________ commercial's broadcast volume is way up too loud!! (then have to turn the TV back up after the commercial is over.)

 

[crandc]

Any time the Blazers lose a game.

 

[Erroneous Subterfuge]

People. Work. Reality.


Those things are like, totatally annoying and what-not.


Oh, and those God foresaken toilet seat covers that take an entire "I'm gonna shit in my pants" minute to successfully place around the rim and punch out the middle. Talk about stress.

 

[SodaPopinski]

People who drive > 10 miles under the speed limit (see: 90% of Oregonians).

People who drive in the left lane on a highway/freeway and don't pass anyone (see: 90% of Oregonians).

Spectators who feel the need to lean forward at live sporting events, completely blocking the view of the court/field for the person behind them.

Lap dogs.

MIXUM.

Mac snobs.

iPhone snobs.

The people who actually approve scripts for movies like Bride Wars.

MIXUM.

Yelling at the tv during a sporting event. I have to watch games in a separate room for this reason.

God, you'd hate me. I yell and curse like a sailor and stamp my feet and pull my hair and sometimes even throw things.

Sometimes I ask my self ... this is what I do for FUN????

I heard that movie is absolutely BRUTAL. Thank god i'm not in a relationship or else i would have had to see that.

When people start threads with half of a question or comment in the thread title and the other half in the message. like if the title says "do you think..." and then you click on it and it says "...that Sergio likes pepperoni or cheese?"

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

The NFL not letting anyone call the Superbowl as the "Superbowl".

Hearing all these commercials about "the big game".


LAME.

That's ridiculous. Clearly he prefers Serrano ham.

when people order pizza toppings I don't like.

You could take a dump on a pizza and I'd still love it. After all, it's pizza.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

come on, who wants fucking green peppers on their pizza? boo

 

[MickZagger]

NBA players who constantly bitch to the refs after every play.

[maxiep]

NBA players who constantly bitch to the refs after every play.

I was at a Nuggets/Blazer game in Denver and the team arranged some third row tickets for me across from the Blazer bench. I'm not used to sitting that low, so I didn't quite understand how well they could hear me.

Z-Bo missed a shot, thought he was fouled and was whining to the ref while play was moving to the other end. I stand up and yell "God dammit, Zach, stop bitching and go and play some defense!"

Zach turns directly toward me and glares. I throw up my hands in mock surrender and say "My bad". He then turns and trots down the floor.

Nate McMillan then yells to me, "No, you're right. Keep on telling him!"

It was a great little moment for me.

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

I am enraged anytime I see someone litter, I feel like running up and punching them in the small of the back.

That's a great story.

Ditto me for players who whine about calls all the time. One thing I love about our team is that they RARELY cry to the refs.

 

[Stevenson]

Actors who talk about how hard their work is.

Actors who talk about their in-depth "research" for a role - oooh, they rode around in a cop car for an afternoon!

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

being dragged to stupid shit I don't want to go to (family picnics and shit like that)

 

[Shooter]

You use the wrong words all the time.

When you say "Go Lakers", everyone here knows you mean "Go Blazers"

That's very funny. Points to you, my friend.

 

[number 10]

people with really really really long signatures. The ones where, even after ad-blocking the images, the sig is twice as long as the post

And don't suggest turning sigs off in the options as that would deny me access to DaRizzle's.

 

[JAFO]

Using the wrong word! My biggest pet peeve for this forum!

People...You LOSE a Game! Not LOOSE a game! I swear to god that happens more often than not

Also, know the difference between "to" and "too"

Ex: I went to the store.

I really want to go too. (aka:also)

Get it right!!!

I have many pet peeves. One of my biggest, to add to DaRizzle's list, is with the large number of posters on the Blazer forum who don't know the difference between "then" and "than".

"Then" should be used for time/sequence situations or "if ... then" statements of logic. "Than" should be used in comparisons.

 

[Anima]

People who pull out right in front of me when there's no one else on the road. I mean, what's the point, they can't a second or two for me to go by?

On a similar line, people who turn when I am trying to cross the street and have the walk sign. You wouldn't believe how many times I have almost been hit because some asshole just couldn't wait a few seconds to turn.

It's not a pet peeve but I have never understood why people feel the need to a) go 10, 15, or even 20 MPH over the speed limit on city streets and b) dart though traffic, and thus endangering his life and the lives of people in the cars around him. They are not going to get there much faster then someone going to speed limit because of the red lights they're bound to run into, it's really just moronic.

 

[MickZagger]

People who crack open a beer or a soda take one or two drinks and then just abandon it.

 

[PapaG]

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.

This one STILL pisses me off, and still happens all of the time. Puttering about, then the 'slower traffic keep right' thing appears, and suddenly Mr. Slowpoke thinks he's Jimmy Johnson, and you have to go 80 to pass them, if you can even get around the douchebag as he's pressing the pedal to the floor.

Guys who pee in public toilets, without lifiting the lid, when there was a vacant urinal that could be used.

And non hand washers. Just gross.

Exactly. Just be sure to use tp when lifting the scummy lid.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Yeah, it’s an old thread, but I almost need to change the radio station every time I hear an ad for Leif’s “the finest in collision repair”.

They run on almost every station I listen to and at almost every break and sometimes twice. I don’t know what it is about it, but I can’t stand it. My wife knows, but I thought I’d let you jokers know about something that no one will care about. /end rant
