Okay, you win... I don't believe I've ever heard a "gigglesnort" before, so I don't know how to top it...

Besides, I'm *not* gonna curtsy...

Silly lily...

one-uppers. you tell a story, say, about a vacation. they went there first, stayed @ a better resort, met famous celebrities while there, swam with humpback whales, etc...and you KNOW they're full of it!

Yep.. brilliant!!

If you climbed Mount everest in a minute.. they've done it in 30 seconds... WITHOUT OXYGEN... Very tiresome. Know a few of those in real life and used to talk to a couple on Lit.

A few of mine...

~ Smokers who ask if you mind them smoking as they pull a cigarette out... and proceed to turn their head and blow the smoke away in a pathetic attempt at keeping it away. I CAN STILL SMELL IT! YOU STINK!!

~ Drivers you let by when a road is too narrow that never acknowledge you.

~ People who go "Mmm..... mmmm....mmmmm" When someone is talking, to every sentence they say. SHUT UP!

~ Hypocrites in general.

Many sayings people just throw in at the end of a sentence.... or even during it.

"At the end of the day"
David Beckham does this.... "Well, at the end of the day, I like moving to the US cos, at the end of the day it's so BIG, much bigger than England is at the end of the day".

"Y'know"
Soccer players everywhere... "Well Brian, he just y'know, crossed the ball and I y'know headed it y'know into the y'know net"

"Y'know what I mean?"

"Like"... "he just like totally acted like amazing in that movie, it was like.. so good!"

Many more I'm sure. Great thread BW.

I wonder... if you say that you were extremely ill, do they one-up it and tell you that they're already dead?

no, but they tell you how they were that close to dead during their last surgery

 

[fire_breeze]

But that's boring! And besides, it's not a one-up; not really, anyway...

ok, you are the pet peeve cop?

 

[keiffers]

trolls - those are my pet peeves

 

[fire_breeze]

Nope - just the lawyer - couldn't resist!

Here's another one: people who listen to their iPods so loud that you can hear every word of the song from across the bus/metro/room. Drives me up the wall!

 

[elizabeth22673]

no, i know what you mean though. lol

your post just reminded me of the times (yes many times) the "one up lady" that sat next to me at the time at work told me about her surgery where she almost died and made the story last foreeeeeeeeever

yea that's another one..pet peeve that is...when people tell the same story to you over and over and over and over and over again. like do they NOT know? or do they just like to listen to themselves

My Lit pet peeve

People that end their post with their name. It irritates the shit outta me. I mean truly ... are we THAT lazy that we can't look to the left to see who is posting?

People Pet Peeves:

Pretentious ~ just be who you are
Judgmental ~ grrrrr...not good. No one is perfect. Look in the mirror.
Condescending ~ treat people with respect! I'll bet you get it back.

People who pose as friends so that they can obtain, gain, or learn something from you.

Parents who threaten discipline and never dole it out. If you tell little Johnny that if he hits his sister one more time you are going to take away his video game privileges for a week. For the love of GOD...do it.

Usually, that's something a geek would do - write a normal comment somewhat like HTML code...

I thought everyone knew that?

I'm not sure I'm likin the geek thingy .... I'm so much more than that.

Love this thread....

The latest pet peeve to hit me yesterday evening....

I hate when a car pulls from a side road onto the main road in front of me. On the country roads I drive, it happens all the time. If I'm doing 60, and there's no one behind me, why not wait until I pass? Instead, they pull out in front of me and drive 35 or 40.

Thanks...I feel better

I hate going in a store with a hard on.

This is one of my major ones too...why race you, and then poke along? Turns me into an instant tailgater, which is probably a pet peeve of someone else!

It is....but in that case, its an exception. I mean....we can't help it if they pulled out in front of us, right? How are we supposed to slow down that fast? lol

Just makes me go slower.

Darlin'... Geek is a *good* thing when it comes to women...

Of course you're more than a geek... But, a woman who's a geek is just... Put it this way... A woman who's a geek is so much better than a woman who needs someone to program her cell phone for her...

When I call someone a geek, I'm giving a compliment, not an insult...

Hmmm... I think I'm going to have set up a little survery kind of thing, and put these pet peeves into categories...

Seems that an awful lot of pet peeves have to do with idiots on the roads...

 

[simply_subbie]

okay so i have a new one...
yesterday my tire exploded while i was driving on the interstate. i managed to pull to the side of the road. i got out to survey the damage and people passing layed on their horns as they passed by. i mean come on do you think i wanted to be stranded on the side of the road. why are people so inconsiderate.
