Pet Peeves

Here's a new one:

People who cheat during an exam. There were four of them (four!) all sitting and working together.

They know I know..... I'll make sure to make them nervous for the next week or so.

Anyway, I probably beat them all.


Another:

A professor who is too busy reading his damn magazine to notice the cheating.


Oh, and another:

The unofficial "I'm Waiting for Arrandale" thread... Whatever version they're on now
 
People who sneeze and cough without covering their mouths. Where has basic courtesy gone? :rolleyes:
 
Drivers who leave a huge gap between them and the car in front when they're waiting at the lights, then shuffle forward when I stop behind them and leave the huge gap in front of me.

People who never pick up their cell phone. They leave it on vibrate 24/7, and say: "Oh, I couldn't hear it." :mad::rolleyes:

How about people who answer their phone and then say "I can't talk I'm busy right now". What do you mean your busy?!!? You obviously weren't too busy to answer the phone!! Why did you pick up if you knew you wouldn't be able to talk?!? Don't you have voice mail??! Are you screening me right now!?! Seriously, you are screening me live right now over the phone!! Just be honest and say I didn't know it was you when I answered and I don't want to talk to you! Aargh! So annoying!!! :mad:

I had someone who said almost the same thing to me when I called her office and I'm the client!

"Oh, I'm on lunch right now, I'll have to call you back." Why the hell did you pick up the phone? :confused::rolleyes:
 
I always hate when you call someone who says they're in a meeting. Who the **** picks up their phone when in a meeting? :rolleyes:
 
My standard policy is to never answer a call from a number that isn't in my address book (and even if it is, I may not answer ;))

If it is someone who really needs me, they will leave VM and I will call them back

Otherwise, I don't want to talk to them

I was outside yesterday when my phone rang. My dad panicked, but luckily couldn't figure out how to answer it. He was all upset and got mad at me for not telling him how to answer my phone. (He's old.) I told him that I NEVER, EVER, EVER want him to answer my phone. And, no, I did not show him how to answer it, until later, when he came to my room specifically to ask me again. :eek:

Pet Peeve = old people. :D

If he is that old, put it on vibrate and tell him you are embarrassed to tell him what it is for
 
Pet Peeves!

What are some of your crazy pet peeves?

• when the internet hangs and doesn't take you straight to the web page
• when people tug on my clothing
• 4:3 aspect ratio (ESPECIALLY on modern material)
• trying to twist a new deodorant stick up and it won't go because the knob is all "springy"
• when people send the same text again when you haven't had the chance to respond yet
• when people talk about religion/politics at work
• people who continue to CLICK CLICK CLICK while their (windows :p) machines are not responding
• when people make food on the bare counter
• when people don't use "to" and "too" correctly
• jacked up grocery carts (do ANY of them function normally?)
• when people just walk up and take food without asking
• when people comment on food that's not theirs anyway

I could easily name a hundred more. But what are some weird/odd/funny things that just drive-you-crazy.
 
  • Any form of incorrect grammar, specifically on the Internet
  • When people correct other people incorrectly
  • Loud chewers
  • People talking about things they know nothing about

I almost put 2 and 4 in there and - How could I have forgotten 3!? I HATE hearing people chew/smack!
 
Supposedly intelligent educated people who type 'there' and 'your' instead of 'their' and 'you're'! Drives me out of my mind.

I was going to put this as well.

-People with messy cars. Throw that week old McDonalds bag out!
-People who grab my shoulder and squeeze. Yeah you are macho, I get it.

I'll add to this.
 
I hate when jackass drivers weave through traffic, constantly switching lanes without signaling, just to end up next to me at a red light.

Funny (and awesome) story about that...
Last December, my Wife and I were heading to the hospital to visit her ailing father, when this very thing happened. I got so pissed.:mad: I flipped him off and was cussing at him as we approached an intersection. He was going so fast, he went right through the light that had just turned red. The moment he crossed - FLASH went the camera! :D OMG!!! That was totally effing sweet!

I have more peeves but I'm a little drunk and should stop while I still have my dignity.

This used to piss me off something fierce but now I just think, "moron." And when I get to the light, "oh look, it's the moron ... and he didn't get pulled over (dang) ... and he's still alive."
