Pet Peeves - what are yours?

[LuDaCriS66]

Come on.. everybody's got em..

I have one that's pretty stupid but it annoys the heck out of me.. when people who use "your" instead of "you're"

 

[Saltin]

People who use the same avatar as me

 

[Rudee]

Pets. They peeve me off!

 

[kaymin]

people who say:

'how do you know?' or 'i don't think so' after they ask you a question, if you knew the answer then don't ask damnit

or 'oh well' like what you just said was insignificant

 

[Beau]

Repetative phrases type thing wise. Like, people who, like, say the same, like, word, like, every other word, type thing wise, you know? :| I dunno

[ProviaFan]

Having to wear slacks.

I swear, there must be something about it, but slacks and teens are incompatible.

 

[Rudee]

Black guys who say "ya know what I'm saying" over and over again when they speak. Even worse: white guys who say that.

 

[ShizNitz]

People who drive slowly in the left lane... arggghhhhh!!

 

[Amused]

People who use the term "Pet Peeve."

After this thread, I will be one of the least popular people at Anandtech.

Here are my pet peeves
(1) Smokers and other drug users.
(2) Rude drivers (for some reason 95% of rude drivers own trucks or SUVs).
(3) Followers who have to wear name brand clothes, shoes, sunglasses, etc. See todays other threads on this topic. There are many types of followers. Tthe funniest are those who claim NOT to be a follower and will be independant - yet those same people all wear the same tatooes, same piercings, and same tattered clothing styles...
(4) Closed minded people. For example those who say either AMD or Intel is better at everything no matter what. You are a stupid idiot if you believe that. Of course AMD is better at some things and of course Intel is better at others.
(5) People who stink. Please shower and brush your teeth at least once a week!
(6) Coasters. People who live off of public assistance since they are too lazy to be productive themselves.
(7) Snobs. If you won't talk to someone unless they are approved by your group of friends, then I feel sorry for you.

I guess those are my top seven peeves. There are more, but they are minor.

That bugs me sooo much! Also, whistling in general annoys me.

When people say, "where are you at" it is verbose you do not to include "at", "where are you" is sufficient.
Another one is when somebody says, ?I just did that right now? how is that possible past tense and present at the same time.

 

[Huz]

People who chew with their mouths wide open and talk loudly and often when they're chewing lots of food. A co-worker of mine literally spit an entire piece of chicken across the table last week when a bunch of us were eating some teriyaki at a little shack by my work. The best part is she acted like nothing happened. Everyone was kind of looking at eachother like WTF. She just kept on chowing down on that stuff. I swear to god she had $%^t flying everywhere. Gross.

 

[Scarpozzi]

My biggest pet peeve...sheeesh there are so many.
1. Slow drivers in the left lane.
2. People who insist the error screen in Windows NT says "At least one server or driver failed...."
3. Stupid people that should never be allowed to have sex
4. Stupid people that should be locked up
5. That cute blonde on the softball team that attends my university who's been messing around with another girl on the softball team just because she was lonely (overheard it in the gym this morning)
6. Low quality beer and/or low quality beer drinkers (with the exception of the Beast of course)

 

[McPhreak]

Blatent Litterers (especially when there's a can 2 feet away from them)

 

[SWScorch]

cold showers
getting up early
my mother
cold
mornings
cold food thats supposed to be hot (except pizza)
getting out of a nice warm bed into a cold rom

(sense a recurring theme her?)

BTW, I'm a teen and all I ever wear is slacks/khakis. I cant stand wearing jeans.

 

[bootymac]

ppl that always have: "AzNblahblah", "604blahblahblah" or "azn604cuty blah blah blah" in their screen names
oh yeah, and ppl that say "supz?" "o wellz.." "i c..." etc. etc.

AND!! people that always use those stupid letters from the character map to make up their name instead of normal letters! pain in the ass to read those $!#!@%!

 

[y2kc]

People that push the CD\DVD rom door to close it instead of using the button on the drive..So irritating
Even though it may be correct, people that call the whole computer the "CPU"
Dial up people on morpheus
Women that curse like sailors/spit
People that go out of their way to use big words (when little ones would do the trick)
Pimps aka (most) clergymen

 

[patrickj]

Hmmmm...

1. Stupid users
2. Stupid users that think they know what they are doing
3. Stupid users that think they can help with technical problems. See #2
4. Dress Codes...Engineers wear jeans and sneakers...
5. Dumb@ss drivers driving slowly in the left lane that just don't have a clue and are going nowhere in particular
6. Nosy people

I think that will do....I could continue, but won't....

<< Dial up people on morpheus >>


Hey, now, be nice...some of us don't have any choice.
My morpheus pet peeve is people who don't have any concept of standard naming proceedures for their music, and have no concept of what id3 is.

I HATE when people say "I could care less.". The correct frickin phrase is "I couldn't care less.".
