Pet Peeves

I always tell those people that I don't have to drink to have fun, I drink because I like it. Not sure why that possibility never crosses their minds.
 
People that drive and use cell phones or just the general OVERUSE of cell phones. Why in the world do we need to be on the phone 24 hours a day??

Last week my daughters school called me on my cell to tell me she is not feeling well and to come and pick her up, I ran to a telephone booth and was looking franticly for change and called a taxi...(I am oficially a nut) That's how much I love my cell phone. LOL

Guilty. Well, it's a debit card, but I guess that's the same. I just rarely have cash on me unless I'm heading to the casino.

...and then say they never have enough time to complete all of the tasks given them.

Sorry, I'd love to back you up on this one, but it doesn't bother me for the most part. I've just given up to the fact that guys are guys and they like boobs. If you stare them in the eye, they usually stop staring at your chest.
Keeping on topic, I do hate chicks that wear really low cut shirts or super short miniskirts and then gripe when guys stare at their boobs or their legs. Why wear that if you're not looking for attention? It's like putting an information sign on your forehead and getting mad when people ask you for information.

Of course we look at men, its only natural, but we don't constantly stare down there

True. But tell me you don't stare at a nice set of buns or a tight, tanned 6-pack. Tell me you don't. I'll call you a liar.:p

Fixation on the weather

Another of which I am guilty. In my defense, though, it's a necessity in my line of work. My days are long or short based on the weather (and/or those people who stand around and chat instead of working).

People who drive slow, don't know how to drive. It is really annoying. I wish that I could occasionally carry a gun with me and put it to use on certain days.

I have been lobbying the idea that everyone gets one "get out of jail free card" for murder if they can verify a reason for killing someone. Given that I drive 2 hours round trip to work every day, I can honestly say that I would definitely have used my card, my hubby's card, my sister's card, my niece's card... well, you get the idea.

people that say
"why do you have to drink to have fun"

I agree. I guess it's never occurred to those people that some of us actually just like the taste of beer/wine/spirits.

Phones, in general, are the bane of our society. Personally, I really don't wish to be connected to the world that much. I have a cell phone for emergencies, but have to say that my conversations are usually as follows:
"Hey, hon, I'm on my way home. Are you stopping for beer or should I?"
"I got it."
"Okay. Thanks. Love you."
 
I have alot of pet peeves:
Chalk
Scraping of forks on plates
when ppl correct me
Arguing - deffinatly
when clowns come up to me and show me their stupid tricks
ppl who hate books and announce "Books Suck!"
ppl who wear everything totally perfect
 
I dont know the difference between an adjective and an adverb! i used to but i always get confused!!!

Speaking of pet peeves in diction...

People who do not understand the difference between an adjective and an adverb.

People who tilt their head and give you a puzzled look and then ridicule you because you used a vocabulary word with more than 2 syllables.

People who try to use large words but use them incorrectly or out of context. I have a neighbor who does this all of the time. She'll hear me use a word, then try to use it herself. It drives me crazy, though I must admit, it is a bit amusing. The latest and greatest was myriad. I had fun with that one.


Amen.

People who walk through a door in front of you and just let it slam in your face instead of just holding it open for another second until you can grab the door. Common courtesy is dead, I tell you. Dead.

People who think that everything in the company fridge is theirs to sample and/or take.

No offense intended, harrypotterrox, but I cannot stand "AOLese". I don't mind it on instant messenger when you're chatting with friends, but I despise it in written form anywhere else.
 
Maybe her keyboard is missing some vowels?


Seriously though, I'd expect to see a higher literacy rate on a book forum.
 
Thats straight up "L33T" talk. Clearly a teenage hacker bent on world domination.

"This is our world now. The world of the electron and the switch; the beauty of the baud. We exist without nationality, skin color, or religious bias. You wage wars, murder, cheat, lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals. Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto." :eek:

One time only.;) I'm used to shorthand. You should see my scratchpad at work. Most days it resembles some sort of ancient hieroglyphics. However, when sending emails or writing on the forum(s) I try to keep the shorthand to a minimum. I must admit that I'm guilty of using acronyms such as MTT, SNG, UTG, etc. in my poker forum.:eek:
 
You know where I stand on this sort of thing. Txt msgng shrthd s a sgn f dvltion f th wrtn wrd.


-People that drive around in the parking lot until the very closest spot opens up.
-Politicians inaccurate use of the word "unfortunate."
