Pet Peeves

[fire_breeze]

LOL that's my biggest pet peeve in the mornings around here....seems I'm always making the coffee but only getting 1 cup outta the pot and have to make at least 3 pots just to get a few cups lol I mean c'mon do a girl a favor every now and then

Oh, hun, you have my complete sympathy! I mean, coffee is not only the nectar of the Gods, but a necessity! It's simply cruel and unusual that you have to suffer so much to get one cup... (hugs)
Have you tried intravenous?

Ah well, rudeness is abound and seems to be a common theme in this thread.

Damn! And here I was, thinking I found myself a caffein addicted buddy... oh well, nobody's perfect!

I have a permanent IV drip in my arm to let the caffeine in... Does that make me your buddy?

You mean I'm not the only one? Oh thank you!! I am normal. And yes, it make you my buddy, but only if you want to too...

Someone very wise suggested this was the thread on which to post this (see how many words you use when you try to write in proper English???)

ANYWAY

STARBUCKS

The things that drive me nuts about the place (at least the primary ones):

I REALLY don't need to have to learn a new language in order to get a cup of coffee. I'd like a large coffee "Do you mean a Venti or a Grande?
Nope -- just a large coffee.

I also do not understand why you have to give your name when you order EVEN IF YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON IN THE PLACE.I'm not looking for a NEW BEST FRIEND -- I JUST WANT A CUP OF FREAKING COFFEE Whew! Besides -- I often give them made up names -- jsut for fun: Kilgore; Shithead (pronounced shuh- THAYED).

Nail-biters, I know tis a hard habit to give up, but that noise as it's nibbled really groses me out.

Very wise, indeed.



my pet peeve for the day is people who take what you say, only absorbing sound bites, and making a new reality of what was said with the sound bites. My mil is the queen of this.

ok then I guess you should stay away from me, but what's so ironic about this subject is that while I do it and have done so since I was a kid, others who do irritate the bejesus outta me LOL

but I just found a new pet peeve LOL I know its there to prevent spammin, but I swear that 20 sec rule between postings really peeves me

 

[daddysbadgrl728]

today my pet peeve is ppl who dont volunteer to help fundraise or organize, yet show up when they hear there is free food, and bring 10 of thier kids and family members

[Blue_Eyed_Grl36]

People who say they're "too busy"..... we all know we make time for what's important, so when someone gives me the line of being "too busy", It's the same thing as saying "you're not important enough". I would find that far more agreeable than getting some BS excuse...

 

[BlackWolf65]

People with an "Eeyore complex..." Please... Spare me the friggin' attenion-whore behavior...

Thank you Darlin', for the line... And for allowing me to rip it off from you...

 

[fire_breeze]

One of my biggest pet peeves that plagued me all day:
Labels.
For gods' sake, don't label me and don't you dare assume anything about me because of my age, gender, etc. etc. (A friend of mine refuses to devulge his preference precisely because of the automatic assumptions that his chosen 'label' brings on.) It thoroughly upsets me when people just simply presume things about me and then get all offended when I tell them otherwise. Bloody hell, ask, and I'll tell you! It completely frustrates me, utterly ....arg! I think I'm going to scream!!
Ah, I feel so much better now. Thank you!

Ummmmmmmmm.. My BIGGEST PEEVE is a friend that doesnt return IM's Email's PM's Posts or the hidden comments about them being missing....
Hehehehehehehe Sound like anyone you know?

Soooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyy Miss you tons~! ​

Oh.. and what do you mean you will be Busy all DAY~!!! Phffffttt~! ​

I think I know who your talkin' about {{ Sexy Lil Mini BRAT}}


AND she's stopped accepting PM's

Actually - I think she's referring to me... And *she* isn't answering any messages, either...

 

[southerntierguy]

People who just go around looking to pick a fight. They usually don't see the collateral damage, and brush it off when it's pointed out.

 

[daddysbadgrl728]

ppl who cut you off in a lane, and then flip you the bird like it your fault they were driving like asses

 

[Slow Ride469]

LOL OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I thought she was referring to herself

 

[Morrigu]

Sorry, I have another one.

The call-centre people for insurance companies etc who always promise to phone you back that day.........the following day you are back in the phone queue waiting for someone to actually deal with the problem.

 

[phantasi]

People who always have a story to one-up yours. Whatever experience you're describing, they had it first, or longer, or better, or...whatever.

AND

People who agree with you just to be part of a conversation they have NO business in.

AND...

 

[sassynyc]

Here's my laundry list . . . . .

Squirrels/pigeons that make eye contact. It's just disrespectful.

People who say "Life's too short". What's longer than life? It's the longest thing you can possibly do, no matter how much fun you have doing it!

Stories on Lit (or anywhere) submitted with typos. Ever hear of Spell Check?

Bad story-lines.

Floral print. It's just unattractive.

People who chew with their mouths open.

People who crack their gum. The sound is maddening.

People (that aren't intimately acquainted with you) who just have to touch you when they talk to you, as if these physical gestures will enable you to better understand them.

People who are less than orally hygienic, but insist on talking in your face.

People who can't walk and talk on a cell simultaneously.

People who think they know everything.

People who smoke in closed spaces.

People who think that perfume/cologne is an equitable substitute for washing their asses!

People who wear too much perfume/cologne. You're not supposed to bathe in it!

People who can't articulate themselves without swearing. I can curse like a sailor if its suitable in that setting, but I'm eloquent enough not to need to do so. It's all about balance.

A man that doesn't understand why flashing a bank roll as a means of getting your attention, is an insult.

People who let their dogs run ape-shit without a leash! And then say, "He doesn't bite". My ass. He has teeth, doesn't he?

A lack of common damned sense. It's apparently not all that common.

Bad manners.



I'm going to exhale now. There's just never a shortage of dumb-asses!
I'm usually nicer than this, but this thread just struck a nerve . . . or ten.

This will probably only fall on a few sympathetic ears, but...

The completely unforgiving nature of XHTML code...

Drives me nuts!!!
