What's your pet peeve?

[kitty4ever]

What irritates you, gives you that nails on the blackboard feeling every time you see it? What drives you batty?

What irritates me?

You're kidding, right? The list it longer than Santa's naughty or nice list.

For an hors d'oeuvre, it irritates me to be cornered, fenced in, locked up, or tied down (metaphorically speaking, of course). It irritates me to see people bend over and take it. It irritates me to see a person kowtow because they think that's how they have to be. If you have a serious problem with something or someone, make some waves. It irritates me to see someone pretending to be someone they aren't because they think that society will be more accepting if they fit into the role of such-and-such. I've been seeing a lot of it lately, too.

My list is long, but how I deal with it/react to it really depends on what kind of mood I'm in.

Who said anything about reacting to it?

What irritates me?

My current driving-me-fucking-insane-issue is people who can't make a decision without consulting their immediate supervisor and don't have the fortitude to stand up for anyone or anything other than what's been pre-approved or "looks good".

Oh, and any conversation that begins with "it's district policy" is guaranteed to have my bullshit meter skyrocketing.

 

[MissTaken]

Staff who spend more time trying to get out of completing directives than they would need to just do the damn thing.

Drivers.
So many drivers.
So many peeves.

The dork who drives 20 miles slower than the speed limit and when they turn left, do not stop close enough to the middle to let me pass.

The Sunday driver who has to gawk at every cow they pass. I say cows because there isn't much else up here to gawk at!

Of course, the fool who goes through the express lane and tries to use a bad debit card. It wouldn't be so bad, if they would gracefully step away, but nooooo they have to argue, drag the manager over and still end up paying cash!

Shall I go on?

 

[bluntforcemama]

Oh, MissTaken, that's a good one. I get snarky with drivers that don't use their blinkers. Actually, I can really let out a morbidly blood-curdling stream of obscenities when the occasion calls.

 

[snowy ciara]

Minea re mostly silly... People who take a ballpoint, and scribblescriblescribblescribble for a few minutes, discover the darn things dead and put it back in the pencil holder.

People who stand in line in front of me for 20 minutes with paperwork for the head of the line and don't fill it out til they get there! (Like, cashing checks at the bank, waiting in line at the grocery and you're gonna write a check, ANYTHING at the car and drivers liscence place..) They oughtta have an idiot line for folks like that. "I'm sorry, Sir or Ma'am, you need to go the line from Hell over there.. This one is for customers who are prepared only."

I can as well, if the kidlings aren't with me.

When they are, those drivers are affectionally known as "bonehead"



With slow drivers, we make a game of it. You will speak as though we are talking directly to the driver. If, for example, we see a church, we say, "Come on, buddy. Don't you have to go to church now?"

It is more fun to make the kids giggle than it is to get frustrated.

I'm sorry if this has been done before. I didn't see it/don't remember it.

Pet Peeves

When the keys on the keyboard move around (they do, honest, would i lie *bats eyelids) and I end up spelling words incorrectly.

When people get upset about posts, its not R/L afterall.

When some posts make me so cross I respond back (see above lol),

Speed cameras on roads.

plus 101 other things but its too late hear to think straight.

LOL! I get it. You don't like copy cats (neither do I). kitty4ever thinks that you're telling her that she has made a similar thread to something that was done before.

Whiners really get on my nerves. People with a 'poor me' mentality.

 

[serijules]

Babytalk

Use of strange abbreviations...u for you, r for are (this is a major peeve...if anyone types like that I immediately think of them as idiots).

A/all bugs me too, although I can overlook that one easier. Capping Dom or Master doesn't bother me though *shrugs*

lol That all bugs the heck out of me too. Especially when T/they do that. I won't even read stories that are like that.

 

[snowy ciara]

Serijules, you just hit on one of the reasons I don't go to chat anymore! The lazy typing drives me nust.

like "hey baby, u want 2 fuck" My usual answer "U want 2 learn to spell." Typos and bad spelling I can deal with; I do it a lot! And typing like you talk, that's cool, too. When I'm joking around being silly and stuff I'll use "wanna" or "gotta" and things like that, but at least I type the darn thing out.

Also, people in chat rooms who don't read the profiles and don't pay attention to what they do read piss me off! I used to hang out occasionally in the bdsm social club over on the chat side and sometimes in the D/s room. My profile said clearly, "I do not cyber. I do not private message. Please do not PM me." Does that stop the clueless ones? No.....

And another thing about chat rooms.. A generic "Hi whatsyerface" does not me "PM me baby, I wanna get it on!" And ASL has got to be the stupidest question ever asked. First of, we're on a website and I have no intention of meeting anyone in real life. Location is irrelevent! Second off, my gender was always in the profile, and usually my age is too. But, I could be dissembling about any of it for any reason. I know someone who would only give her gender; her point being this is cyberspace, and she could be any age or location you wanted her to be. Third off, if the person would have read the damn profile, they'd already have known not to pm me any way and had the answers to at least part of the question!

And that's why I hardly ever go to chat anymore...

Exactly. I type "cuz" a lot...cuz I say that in real live. Same with wanna, gotta, etc...when I'm hanging around with friends discussing things, thats how I talk, thus, it's how I type. Spelling mistakes and typos don't bother me at all unless they are very basic or very frequent, as I know my own spelling sucks sometimes.

What drives me nuts also is when people message and ask me where I'm from and I say "North Dakota" and they say "where in ND?" and I answer "North Dakota " and they don't get the flipping clue...LOL. I'm not giving out the city, sorry buddy.

People who don't use paragraphs in their posts. I just skip em...

People offering or asking for pictures I immediately ignore. Anyone ignorant enough to have that be their primary concern is too shallow for me to want to get to know.

Actually, I think people in general are my pet peeve

 

[graceanne]

Actually the reason I don't go to chat rooms anymore is because, without fail, I will get IM'd by someone who barely speaks english. Then they will tell me what a good person I am. When I ask how the hell they'd know that, they say Oh, I can tell. *rolls eyes* Then they ask to see my webcam. When I tell them I don't have one they just say "please?". Like i"m freaken lying to them.
As to people who are nosy about the city I live in, I live in a bigger city, so I don't worry about it much, especially since I'm not using my real name. But occasionally I just have a bad feeling, and to those, when they ask specifics, I just say 'northern'. *sigh*
I also won't talk to people who ask for my pic first. Or my asl. As far as I'm concerned, if that's their only question, then all they want to do is cyber, and I don't. Cyber that is.

 

[serijules]

In North Dakota, knowing someone's first name is pretty much the same as having their name, address, and blood type LOL.

I don't worry about it much, I just don't really want to share that info and it bugs me when people can't respect that.

I have chatted in a certain room for years and years now and everyone is really awesome, I know almost all of them in person, have played with most of them, met my Domme there, attend parties twice a year...we are like a big family. It's rare to find a room like that, but if you do, it is awesome.

Serijules, you just hit on one of the reasons I don't go to chat anymore! The lazy typing drives me nust.

like "hey baby, u want 2 fuck" My usual answer "U want 2 learn to spell."

"Yeah, I'd like 2 fucks - do you have MPD?" (Multiple Personality Disorder)

Typos and bad spelling I can deal with; I do it a lot!

Most of us read fluent typo-nese. Bad spelling... well, that's another question, for me. "Your" and "you're;" "their," "there," and "they're;" "to" and "too" are all annoyances to me - fourth-grade errors. (Occasional misuses, I can handle - it's the people who consistently misuse them that make me wonder about their intelligence.)

<snip>And ASL has got to be the stupidest question ever asked.

"Older than dirt/as often as possible/here" is my most frequent response to ASL requests.

And that's why I hardly ever go to chat anymore... [/B]
