What're your pet peeves?

[ScatterPlot]

I just thought it might be an interesting idea to see what everyone's pet peeves are here on AO. Try to stay away from the ones like "I hate it when people say this gun is better over another and they haven't even tried it." We all hate that one. I'm talking about the little things.
I'll start us off:
When people in buildings of any kind (banks/dept. stores/etc) have double doors and leave one of them locked at ALL times. What's the purpose of having two??!?!? Just to make you run into one of them all the time?

Another-
When people spell the word "solenoid" as "selenoid", "selenid", and other WAY off ways.

So... What's yours?

[MayAMonkeyBeYourPinata]

I hate it when people get overexcited while playing games, or blame the video game when they mess up.

arrogant jerks

people who talk on there cellphones constantly

[Brak]

when someone says theyll call me back and i have to end up calling them back. if you say you will, do it!!

and also when people mention something, then say 'nevermind', and i have to pry at them to get at what they were gonna say, and it ticks me off even more when they wont tell me!

lol..for someone who's 21..that's funny

[Chojin Man]

People whos pet peeve list is over 15 items long:rolleyes:

[Restola]

I will admit if I knew, I would have been my own pet peeve.

I was actually editing it to people under 19...then I realized people under 20 is right (maybe even under 21). People under 20 are a pain because:

1. they love to drink
2. they can't drink in public
3. if they are in highschool, they think anything that happens there is important
4. if they graduated, they are freshmen in college, who are annoying because of reasons 1 and 2.
5. they think the stupidest crap is cool, or matters in the least.
6. most haven't progressed to the point of being able to look at the real world.

Probably a few more.

My friends do that to me all the time...

To whoever mentioned "people who do drugs" I completely agree. I'll add to that people who curse and drink and all. No, I'm not some little kid, I'm a Christian.

I'll add some more...

When people respond to pet-peeve threads with "people who make stupid threads" and think they're so funny, thats what I love about AO-the maturity. I can almost guarantee I would've gotten that answer had this been on PBN.

When people get so incredibly overly dramatic about things that are just crap, like pretty much anything that can happen to a normal high-schooler, like "OH NO, WHY DID I HAVE TO GO TO THAT CONCERT, I MISSED A PHONE CALL FROM MY GIRL/BOYFRIEND!!!! (this excludes things like divorce, etc. that are big.)

When songs get stuck in my head.

People who say things that they think are soooo funny and original, like "Hey Bert, where's Ernie? (snicker snicker)"

Like someone said above, people who think they know more than you when they know NOTHING about the subject, like how I used to work in a grocery store and people would tell me how to use the credit card machine.

On a related note, people who can't slide a card through a credit card machine to save their life.

These are good, yall, keep em comin!

[OfficerGoat]

I hate all people in general. Brain Damaged freakin idiots. .. so I will go on to some specifics rather than listing them all... especialy without cussing vigorously.

Guys who say x number of cylenders is beter than y number of cylenders. If you hear these words coming out of your mouth it means you are SLOW... get over it. The guys that are actualy making horse power could give 2 craps about how many cylendars a car has... they just care about going faster, and beating the guy in the other lane... thats it.

People who drive through the water box at the drag strip.

People who refer to Nitrous as NAWZ .. or NOS... WTF?

The guys who talk trash but wont back it up. (Uhh Uhh ... getting a new mod tomorow maybe after that :rolleyes: )

Californians

Arizonans

Idahodians...... these are the worst... comeon guys we have surface streets here too.. if you want to go 55mph go on one of those.... but dont be in the freakin left lane of I15 thank you kindly!!

Elderly People.... especialy the ones that think the world needs to cater to them. I hope your rascal goes berzerk and sends you carening off a cliff/skyscraper/bridge/helecopter.

Night Auditors (This is more of a major psycotic hatrid than a pet peve)

Liberals..... AND Conservitives too.... get over yourselves you pretentious assmunchers. Why dont you guys spend the time that you arue over petty bull like the War in Iraq or gas prices and figure out how to better educate our children. I keep hearing about how education is important.... but I never hear any plans on how to make it better, just critisism about how the other guy is doing it wrong.

People who think guns (Or any other inanimate object for that matter) are evil ...no its not you stupid imbicile... it could care less its just a hunk of freakin metal... its the folks who pull the trigger who are evil. And lets look at it this way... per capita which kills more people ... cars or guns? hmmmmmm interesting... I propose a ban on cars! Or at the very least a ban on ugly chicks in cars... at least this way I don't have to wonder if I am ogling a hot chick or a napy skank.

Here is the jest of it.... People who feel that their opinion is so much more important than everone elses are the folks who irite me to no end.

I have to end this rant now before I go out to the strip and stab a few tourists with a spork or some other blunt object.

I was playing counter-strike, the other day and one of my little brother's friends was watching me and eating a bowl rice and something... What I first noticed about him eating is that he was chewing. Rice. He was chewing rice. (and for me to notice something like that while I was concentrating on something else, well... thats saying something)
I secondly noticed that he was chewing rice with his mouth WIDE-FREAKIN-OPEN!WTF!!!!11:mad: :mad: *head explodes* I could hear it over the guns and grenades in the game!
