Pet peeves

[Ekserb]

I'm far more diplomatic in here.

Does that mean you're more confrontational in real life? Cool!

the female body is an art form...something to be worshiped and not used souly for sexual gratification

Maybe so but 99% of the guys on Lit are here to jack it. No use trying to deny the obvious.

Um...no. What I mean is, I tend to eat my feelings in real life and curse people out under my breath for being the jackasses they are. As opposed to here where I attempt to reason with everyone.

Actually, it occurs to me that the persona I've created for myself at Lit probably isn't a very good representation as to who I am in real life.

[Lorali82]

Well I think you're a sweetie. And very reasonable.

Thank you pookies!

I'm nicer in Lit than real life, you all haven't done anything to me

 

[monique1971]

I'm the same here as I am in real life. And I would stop and ask the crying person on the street if anything was wrong and if I could help. That only seems like good manners to me.

Most of my pet peeves have been covered (bad grammar, bad driving). I feel that I should be able to think of some others, but I can't.

Oh! Wait! Just remembered one: People who bring small children to events and environments that are obviously meant for grownups only, like expensive restaurants and art galleries. If I am paying $25 for my entree, I don't want to hear your kid squalling. Take him to McDonalds. And no, I really DON'T think your five-year-old is appreciating the Jackson Pollock exhibition. What's more: If you give these people a disapproving look while their child ruins everyone's enjoyment, they look at you like you are EVIL.

I had to wait until I was a grownup to get to go to grownup places. Whatever happened to that?

Oooh, that felt good.

 

[DaddysAngel23]

Thats a good one monique, though I have a twist for you as the parent of, count'em, two five year old.

The grandparent that MAKE you take your kid out even though you know he/she is going to hate it, piss people off and generally make the entire experience hell for all involved.

I have only one thing to say about that:

I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!!

My credit card company is charging me forty fucking dollars for a payment that was two fucking days late. FUCK!

 

[MsTexas]

people who go around boards telling others how to post

Oh and liars

Here's mine... why do BBWs have to announce that they are BBWs in their threads and then say BE NICE?

 

[FastFastr]

Oh! Wait! Just remembered one: People who bring small children to events and environments that are obviously meant for grownups only, like expensive restaurants and art galleries.....

I'll go one better. Bringing your baby or child anywhere (restaurant, movie, art gallery, etc) and not removing the kid when he starts to cry and scream. This goes for a baby or a teen who throws a hissie-fit.

What's wrong with that? I'm not arguing, just asking.

That just happened to me too. I paid it in full, but still had to pay the late fee and interest charges.

I have a problem with the whole "be nice" thing from anyone, not just BBWs.

"This is my first picture post. Please be kind. " The next day they post something like, "Oh, my! You are such a welcoming group. I'm so glad I decided to share my pictures with you. I used to be self conscious, but now that you think I'm hot, I'll keep posting!"

Well, what did you think was going to happen? You asked everyone to be kind and they did. Congratulations, you have a group of mindless drones at your beck and call.

Granted, on this site you could ask for people to be brutally honest and you'd likely get the same results, but at least then you could expect to get some people who would give their truthful opinions.

Poetry.

Not the classic poetry we all know and love (the kind that rhymes) I'm talking about the kind of prose that has nothing to do with rhythm or tempo or anything.

"I wrote a poem for you." No, you didn't. You wrote some words and then broke the sentences up into different lines of text so you read it slower and more deliberately. Big fucking deal.

I could read aloud the dictionary in the same halting, pretentious manner and it would sound just like your "poem."

I could also read your poetry straight through and it would sound like a normal paragraph.

So, is it the manner in which it's read that makes it poetry, or is it the style in which it's written? Or maybe it's poetry when some half-a-fag shut-in decides to write something and send it across the internet to his make-believe girlfriend.

People suck.

And another thing....

People who don't know the difference between your and you're. Or their, they're, and there. Or to and too. Or who just use the wrong damn word altogether.

Oh yes! One of my biggest peeves is when people get the meanings of "lose" and "loose" mixed up. They're completely different meanings!

Yeah, that's another one.

Those bastards!

And the truly horrible part is that there's really nothing you can do about it. Hell, they could charge you a "late fee" even if your payment was two weeks early if they wanted to.

People who stop their cart in the middle of the aisle at the grocery store to spend 5 minutes deciding which spaghetti sauce they want to buy.

yes or those people who walk in the door of a store and stop. its like um hello, others would like to get by.

another one of mine is when someone cuts you off and then gives you the finger...um yeah asshole...who died and made you king of the road, i'm sorry for getting in your way!

 

[bsbrian]

Here's one of mine. People who assume that I want company during lunch and take it upon themselves to join me when I deliberately have my head buried in my book.

I don't know if this happens in the ladies' room, but I hate shithouse conversationalists.

I'm on the crapper - please don't talk to me. Or maybe I'm taking a piss. Again, don't talk to me. Don't say,"Hi." Don't grunt a greeting. Don't make eye contact. Ignore me.
