Pet Peeves

[graceanne]

I'm with you on the hypocritical inconstancy. I just wanted to say "wholesome" and "DMX" together.

LOL Would that be like saying 'wholesome' and 'Ozzy Osbourne' together?

when people leave the seat up. cold germy sponges. people on bluetooth headsets in public. chipped nail polish. smelly refrigerators.

Lies.

Unfairness! It's just not cricket.

Life as a sub is, by nature, unfair. That's what makes it perfectly fair for all involved.

Actually, I disagree. If it wasn't fair, it'd be doing my head in. Everyone has needs they like to have met.. if mine aren't weren't getting met, then my performance as a sub would start to falter. I can only imagine it would be the same for tops/switches. *shrugs*

Longest standing pet peeve: Stupidity is still not illegal

Honey, Ozzy is wholesome by my standards. His older stuff was a little racy, was he's a tame monkey nowadays.

Actualy, both of these are true, and not mutually exclusive. By default, life as a submissive is not "fair", at least not to outside observers. A submissive redefines what is fair within the confines of his or her relationship, and sets the bar anew. Life on top ain't fair either. It's better than fair, in many ways, but it ain't fair. The whole point of D/s is an unequal relationship.

That said, there's unfair, and there's Unfair. You can surpass a person's tolerance for unequal, and get to the point where needs are not being met. At that point, as mgp says, performance falters. Both of my gals are TPE slaves, which is as unfair as unfair gets. They have literally no rights, but I recognise their needs, and meet those needs to keep them happy enough to serve.

And the core to all this is recognising what is a want versus a need. Both sides need to do this, and be clear about it. If it is a want, you can go without. If it is a need, well, you better figure out a way if you want long term success.

And this does lead me into a pet peeve of mine, and that is people that conflate want and need. Drives me buggy. (not accusing anyone here of that. I don't know y'all that well. I just have people in my own life that do that.)

Yeah, a lotta vanilla folks don't get that at all, which may be a reason why a lotta vanilla folks don't "get" BDSM

Lol, first read this as cornflake, had to read it three times to recognize it wasn't!

People who lie to you to your face and you just caught them doing it.
Being in that group of people.
People who think they are better than others.
People who make ignorant remarks about other people's children without knowing all of the information involved. Granted it is easy to make a snap judgement, I've done it in the past. Being where I am now and knowing what I do know now I don't have the thoughts of "can't you just control your child?" With disabilities in many our children in the world out there that thought needs to be removed from all thinking and people should step into those parents' shoes.
People who don't space betwen long posts!

OK, this sign pretty much sums up something that has bothered me for awhile:

She said "not cricket".
Hmm...endearingly & innocently sweet.

As for the answer:

- inconsiderate or mindless drivers (traffic in general too)

- poor hygine

- poor manners, mannerisms, unreliability, unfaithfulness

- people who dog pile a condecending opinion on Lit once a more prominent individual has spoken out. (so I suppose I can add "clickiness" to the list)

- Close-minded people

- The unimaginative

That's about it for now.

 

[SubKekiLee]

Liars and Two-Faced People...

People who cannot be nice and want to act holier than thou...

People who refuse to accept change and go with the flow...

Bad drivers

hypocitical people.... People who live in glass houses shall not cast stones...

 

[girlofurdreams]

people who don't rotate their pics before uploading them to websites!!! i'm sick of having to tilt my head to see your stupid trip around europe!

 

[caela]

I'd suggest it, but normally people like that don't hear anything they don't want to hear.

To tell the truth, it wouldn't bother me, if it was consistent. But it's not. You can sing about one night stands, and getting drunk, and cheating, but you can't say 'gay' on the radio!

Hmmm...I am wondering if the change was just a regional thing out by you Gracie, because I had this song come on the radio just yesterday and it still had the lyric about telling friends she's gay.

And to answer the original posts question:

~being late; I hate this in myself and others. If I know I am going to be late I at least have the courtesy to call ahead and explain why and how late I think I will be so that someone isn't just waiting around for me. On the flip side anyone that has ever had me driving anywhere knows that if you're running late and don't call I will leave at the agreed upon time and you get to fend for yourself. If you can't be bothered to give me the courtesy of a quick call, I can't be bothered with the courtesy of waiting for you.

~bad drivers (this includes anyone that can't reach the speed limit, thinks it's fine to cut other people off, people that don't seem to know they have a blinker, and those that feel they have to come to a complete stop before making a right hand turn)

~chewing loudly or with your mouth open

~parents that don't even attempt to control their children in public; I've worked retail and seen parents trying to get their kids to behave and parents that haven't. Granted kids can be tough and sometimes they simply refuse to behave or could be sick and wailing because they're in some sort of pain, for those parents I have sympathy; it's the ones that walk around with their heads up their ass while their kids run screaming up and down isles, knocking things over, getting under other peoples feet and almost knocking them over etc., that need to be smacked upside the head.

~oh and a personal one from work: doctors that feel the need to wear a bluetooth headset (and answer the damn thing!) while they're operating!!! Luckily none of my own doctors do this but I've seen it at another hospital and it always pisses me off...the patient cut open in front of you is a million times more important than your wife calling to remind you to pick up milk on your way home!

 

[Harmony_1985]

-Bad grammar
-Horrible spelling
-Atrocious punctuation

For the most part I overlook mistakes. Hell, I make them (and I go through great pains to catch my own mistakes and fix them), but I hate having to reread stuff consistently. This drives me nuts.

Someone after my own heart <3

I role play as a hobby and I hate it when the people I RP with abuse the english language!!

- People who walk on the bicycle lane.

- Tourists who suddenly step on the cycling lane to photograph or film an old building which has already been standing there for a few centuries and will in all likelihood still be there in one minute. This is extremely dangerous (and annoying).

- Tourists who rent a bike even though they haven’t cycled for a few decades. This means they are so busy trying not to fall, they cannot pay attention to minor details like the fact that they are supposed to be on the bicycle lane and not in the middle of the road, that there are -surprisingly- other people and vehicles around, traffic signs or signals.

- Foreign tourists who turn around when you ring your bell- to indicate that they are walking on the bicycle lane - and look at you in utter amazement but will not move.

- Cyclists who hold an umbrella or talk on their mobile phone.

Lies.

That pretty much sums it up for me too.
