Pet Peeves, yo.

[mynameisbob84]

Oooo another smokers pet peeve!
When I go out of my way to cross the street with my cigarette to get out of the way of a non smoker walking by and not only do they not acknowledge the gesture but do that "hack hack" fake cough that makes you instantly want to curb stomp them.
If you are one of those fake coughers you should be soooooo ashamed of yourself. sooooooo ashamed.

I will continue being a super courteous smoker as long as I can stand it but holy hell are people ungrateful ass-hats. And not just with smokers.
I get completely ignored holding the door open for someone or stopping in the road NOT at a crosswalk to let people cross way more than thanked. Some people are just starting to EXPECT these kind gestures and I for one will always do them, but if you can't even acknowledge my presence while doing so you better believe I will SHOUT "YOU'RE WELCOME!" and embarrass the ever living shit out of them.

Any excuse to post some Hicks

On the topic of uncomfortable body things, it makes me feel extremely vexed when female transsexuals compare their body to mine.

A nice young biologically male lady came over to my house and when my Master left the room, she started told me her bra and waist measurements and asked me what mine were in an attempt to compare. Another biological male who is becoming nullified but with boobs wanted me to take off my shirt so he could prove his breasts were bigger than mine.

Come on, really? If I were trying to become male I wouldn't walk around and ask dudes to take their pants off so I could compare dick sizes.

It's rude and awkward, and if you're trying to prove your womanhood by comparing yourself to the tiniest and smallest-boobed chick you can find, that really isn't saying much.

Some of my pet peeves;
People that participate in beta-testing for a new video game, then bitch and moan 2 weeks after the actual release of the game because they are bored already.
When stores signs have upside down "M"s as "w" and vice versa. When the use a numeric 0(usually red font) in place of "O" upside down 2 as a 5 and backward E as a 3.
Misuse of the word "antisocial" there is a big difference between dis-social (awkward shyness, introverted) and antisocial(sociopathic violent behaviordirected at others).

My last pet peeve is people that think that being an ASSHOLE counters someone elses assholedom.
I have a wealth of gay/lesbian friends that DEMAND that society accepts their lifestyle but are EXTREMELY unaccepting of people who oppose their way of life. MY sister-in-law (her car anyway)was a victim of violence at a Chi-Fil-A in Bakersfield CA this past week by extremely agitated gay protestors. I think C-F-A were ASSES to make a public statement that is sure to piss people off. The protestors are even bigger assholes for acting the way in which my sis was subjected to.

Okay... I will add two more.

The inconsiderate assholes who spit their gum out on the ground. Put it in the trash. Swallow it for all I care. Every fucker I see spit their gum out on the ground, I want to (with gloved hands) pick it up and smash it nicely into their hair. That should be even more fun than me trying to clean it from my shoes. I've never spit my gum out on the ground but I've stepped in plenty of it so I feel like some people sure are owed a few more gum covered soles.

Not all non-smokers are the assholes who bother JJ but not all smokers are as considerate as her. I hate the ones who congregate directly outside the entrance to a building. I end up walking through a hazy cloud of second hand smoke just to go inside.

So this. I hate it. Especially when my daughter was 10 months old and was having breathing issues. Every single time we went to the pediatrician's office there's be eight to ten doofus' smoking right at the entrance and not giving a damn about all the sick kids that were having to go through their smoke to get inside.

Agreed! On the gum too!
It is against the law to smoke with a certain radius of a public entrance and rightfully so. I'll forgive bars and pool halls since those people should still be allowed to smoke inside, like the OWNER wants!
But yeah... not everyone is mean to me and not everyone is as nice as me. I'll admit I'm almost awkwardly considerate with my smoking. It kinda drove Lucy Ohara batty!

OH! People who smoke around children! Nothing makes me want to blow up the world quite as much as a person smoking with a kid in the car or while pushing a stroller down the street. :angry4:

I live with an extremely considerate smoker. So considerate, that it's very rare that I even notice when he goes outside to smoke until I can't find him. It can definitely be a bit shocking when I go somewhere and encounter someone willing to blow smoke in my face. It doesn't bother me if someone smokes, just be considerate about it. The gum thing is annoying too for sure! I only spit my gum on the ground if it's in an area that would be highly unlikely for someone to step in. I always save my gum wrapper just in case.

Another pet peeve of mine, when people let their dogs poop ON the sidewalk and don't pick it up and then my dogs step in it. Fucking disgusting. Not only did both my dogs step in it, but now they both need baths because you can't make your dog go in the designated spot. In our housing area they have a spot where you don't have to pick up after your dog, but it's not on the sidewalk. How hard is it to make them poop in the grass? As long as it's in the right spot, once they go you can just walk away and not have to deal with it....Geez.....

I was walking home one day with several bags of groceries in my hand, and that happened to be the ONE time that I DIDN'T look down at the grass while I walked. I was wearing my brand new black/pink sneakers, and I stepped in fresh dog shit. SMH.

Also, dog poop on the sidewalk where kids like to ride their bikes and scooters...not cool.

People who put on a really terrible fake generalized British accent... there is so much variation! It would be like a Spanish person talking in a terrible Southern accent saying, "this is what Americans sound like!" I can't really explain why it bothers me so much but I cringe whenever I hear someone do it.

This! Oh my god it does my head in!!! Half the time no one even sounds like that! What also bothers me is when english actors/actresses put on different british accents for american films/tv, it makes no sense!!!
That and has anyone noticed in the majority of american films/tv whenever someone goes to england or dates someone english they're either insanely rich, live in a massive country house, have a ridiculously well to do family, or they're a football hooligan. It's like there's no inbetween! I don't know if our films ever do it the other way around, really bothers me though! Silly films!

The skinny/fat bashing stuff fucks me off too. I'm not even that big, I do loads of exercise etc but I still get people saying stuff to me a lot, giving me those 'looks'. The whole facebook hating stuff is ridiculous. I once shared a picture I saw not thinking about it much, it was one with our modern super models in bikinis next to 50's supermodels, I only put it up because I thought it was interesting how much things have changed (even though betty page/marilyn were still tiny yet curvy girls) but then I read through the comments it got under it.
It's kind of like the conversation earlier about going and telling obese people they're hot to avoid hurting their feelings. I think skinny girls can be hot, I think girls with a bit extra weight can be hot, everyone has a type! What's worrying is the media is telling people that being anorexic skinny is the way to be, in many cases, the only way to be! If the media told everyone we needed to carry a lot more weight, girls who are naturally very slim/skinny would kill themselves force feeding themselves to try and achieve it, same as what's going on now that larger girls are starving themselves to attempt to reach an 'ideal'. I hate that now it's a case of everyone tells you to lose weight all the time, then when you do lose weight, they get worried about your health/bitch about it!

Oh and the washing hands thing really grosses me out too. I don't even touch toilet door handles after I've washed my hands. Even if I was only doing my make-up, I'd still wash my hands after, with lots of soap! so gross!!

"Like this if..."-pictures on Facebook... Filling up my feed with their stupidity!

"Like this if you're against animal cruelty" Well who the hell isn't???
"Like this if you're against violence against women" Again - Who the hell isn't?
"Like this picture of a leg-less woman on a skateboard carrying a baby if you think she's a great mother" I have no idea about her parenting skills! Being disabled doesn't automatically make someone a good person! For all I know she could be the best mother in the world, the worst mother in the world, or it might not even be her baby that she's holding!
"Like this to stop sex trafficking" How exactly does me liking a picture on Facebook make any difference in the real world?

And, of course, the first comment on these pictures is always either the uploader telling people to subscribe to him/her, or a "Who wants 2000 friend requests in 30 minutes? Do this and that and wait and stand on one leg etc." I sure don't want 2000 friend requests from strangers! I get annoyed when ONE strangers adds me!

When I serve someone with their CDs at work and they ask me to take the price tag off "becasue it's a gift". Do it yourself, you dick :?

That reminds me of another pet peeve of mine......Lazy people! I know my original pet peeve was "people", but this particular group of them is probably my biggest pet peeve.

 

[JickyJuly]

Mother's who say patronizing things like "You're not a mom. So, you don't know." No one needs to procreate in order to understand compassion and love.

People who are rude or speak down to waiters/waitresses/stylists etc. Also, anyone who judges others for working menial jobs. If someone is working, respect it.

Any sort of body comments from strangers while out in public. Don't tell me I need to put some meat on my bones or make a sad face while telling me how pretty I'd be without the tattoos. Any comment that feels safe to say because I'm a girl will pretty much infuriate me. If you wouldn't tell a biker how much God hates inked skin, don't tell me either.

Company that shows up without calling 1st. If I have to put on clothing and sweep the floor, some notice is needed. Hehehe.

Either? I'll have you know that I am all of those. You have to be insanely rich to be able afford an MU ticket so you can go and have a good rumble :banana-fingers:

It still makes me laugh that Trainspotting had to be subtitled for the American market.

Along with this one I hate the "Well, when you actually have your baby, you'll understand" I got this a LOT when I kept stating that I didn't think a changing table with no other function was something that I needed in the nursery. Same issue with bottle warmers and newborn mittens. :roll: And I was right, I change my daughter on the floor far more often than the changing table I built into her dresser. There should never be anything with a single function in a baby's room.

 

[LadyLuna]

People judging a person's experience by their age.

People who didn't believe that I was out of shape when I was skinny (oh how I wish I had gotten in shape while I was still skinny! Now it will be twice as hard)

People who say that I'm not a geek just because I don't know enough about (insert subject here)

txt tlk, in any situation EXCEPT room topics and profiles with a character count.

 

[AllisonWilder]

People that point out that you have a zit/pimple/blemish on your face like you had no idea.

PJ pants with drawstrings that break when you try to tighten them.

I used to nanny for a fairly well to do couple that had lots of single use items in the nursery. Considering I was there for well over 12 hours a day, this was ridiculous and annoying. I understand that a diaper genie hides the smell, but not if it's full and it only serves one purpose for a few hours. You could just bag the diaper up and toss it, problem solved. :roll: Diaper genies have to be the single most complicated piece of equipment I have ever used. Whoever invented them must have thought it would be funny to make tired parents fumble around in the dark at 3am with a dirty diaper....

Women who think it's somehow cute or feminine to be inept at "manly" things. Not knowing how to change a tire or mow a lawn does not make you more attractive.

Statements that seems too large and hostile to be true like "I don't like animals" or "I don't like the outdoors". How could anyone possibly not like these things as a whole?!

I asked a friend this same thing and got the WORST dirty look ever. I feel relieved not to be the only one who doesn't want a poop table in the house. There's too much crap for babies. It can't all be necessary.

Haha, I'm the COMPLETE opposite!! Being able to do "manly" things is one of the reasons why I consider myself hot

Come on, a girl that does something manly - that's sexy!

But yeah, I agree! And I'll add the "Acting dumb because I think it's cute"-girls. WTF is that? Stupidity is never, ever attractive!

I only really have one HUGE pet peeve.

That is when I have a close female friend tell me, "Why can't my boyfriend (or husband) be just...like...you?!" Really???

Allow me to clarify in that I do NOT consider myself God's gift to Womankind! LOL. There's a big difference between being self confident, and being a total arrogant, narcissistic, ass bag! But for someone who's been single (mostly by my own choice) for most of his entire life, that kind of feels like an empty handed, or painful, compliment.

Don't get me wrong, ladies! I consider myself very blessed to have many close female friends. Many of whom, I've literally grown up with, and/or have known for 20 plus years! And very flattered that they feel comfortable in confiding in me. I've heard it so many times over the years that one time, at band camp...just kidding...one of my friends dropped that line (and she'd dropped it, before!) and I finally snapped back with..."Helloooo? Am I not standing right here, in front of you?! Shit or get of the pot, already!"

/Rant :shhh:

 

[LadyLuna]

Guys who idealize me and put me on a pedestal without knowing more than what they see during the 5 hours I cam.

Oh yeah! Something, that I'm man enough to admit, that I was very guilty of...when I first started chatting with cam models! LOL! Thankfully, most of the models, and room regulars as well, helped to snap me back into a little thing called, "reality!" LOL! Looking back, I was really embarrassed about doing it. But hey...live, learn, and have fun in life....right?!

Good post, Miss Luna! :thumbleft:

That...was hilarious! One of my all time favorite movies, is "Snatch." What's even more humorous to me is that when I first saw it, I was saying to myself, "I'm an American, who's visited the U.K.! I can understand what everyone says!" LOL. That was, until I was introduced to "Pikeys." And as a matter of fact, the DVD does, in fact, have "Pikey Subtitles." And yes...I had to use them a time or two! :shhh:

I too am perfect in the eyes of many women, some of them models, for someone else who they tell me they will envy. Do women just not realize how shitty this makes men feel when they hear it?

This goes for women, too! Guys with girl friends are just as guilty here. I've had more than a couple guy friends confide that they'd love to date a woman just like me. Um, what? This includes a guy I was already sleeping with telling me that he's looking for someone who was just like me and that I would be the perfect girlfriend but he didn't want to make our friendship weird.
