    I hate wannabes that think they know what they're talking about.

    I also hate it when people complain about AO being different when they've been here post whoring less than a year, and have contributed little more than giving more advertisement for the Thorums.

      Ok Ive taken a break and I can start writing some more without punching something. Heres a few more:

      34DD bras just dont exist. Why the heck would society pressure women so much to have a build like that and then not supply the necessary clothing. If I want to get that kind of stuff for my fiance I either have to special order from a very limited Victorias Secret selection or go to a fat people store.

      Airport security. I wanna punch those guys. Very hard.

      Christians that assume all other white people are Christian, and if they arent then they should try to convert them.

      People who bend the line at gas stations to block access to the left gas pumps for the few of us who own right side gas tank cars.

      People who hit parked cars and drive off.

      Police who ask me to explain to them why I still have a learners permit when Im 21. Its none of their freakin business why I have one.

      Government propaganda. Its everywhere. And its all stupid.

      High school and lower kids who think they know a lot about life. No, you dont. I dont care what youve been through. You dont know a lot about life. If you knew as much as you thought you did, youd be smart enough to realize how little you know.

      People who think theyre being oppressed because they cant make other people live like they want them to. For example people who want to ban gay marriage. So you dont like gay people. Great, good for you. Now shut up and let them live their lives, theyre not hurting you by getting married.

      People who publish beauty magazines that are responsible for making my fiance feel bad about herself when shes not wearing makeup.

      People who ruin good things for the rest of us because theyre stupid and irresponsible.

      Americas blind dependence on oil. Most of the people with trucks dont need them anyway, and if theyre the kind of person who actually needs a truck then diesel would be a better option anyway.

      The absolute lack of pass interference/defensive holding calls in Madden games.

      People who cant have fun because everything is bad for you, "stupid", or "childish".

      Mosquitos.

      And people who like the Packers.

          My pet peeve is when people have to lower their standards in order to accomodate the shortcomings of other members of the community.

            The lowest common denominator being allowed to flourish, Heck, its been encouraged here, is what has effectively killed the AO Culture. And yes, it was a culture, that many of us greatly enjoyed living.

                People who think they can judge other peoples situations based on limited knowledge of the facts, and then whine when other people complain because others live differently than they think they should.

                    force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.-

                    Alright, so if Bush is fighting so much against it, then isn't HE a terrorist???(yes I know, I will get flamed, and rightly so but you have to put up a reasonable arguement. )

                    5.) Liars,

                    6.)Theifs, I believe that if you steal something more than once you should get branded smack on the forehead with the letter " T " so every time you go into a store the employees will follow your every move. People WORK for the stuff they get, there is no reason you should just take it..

                    7.) "Gangsta" "balla" and associated terms, like "agg" and "noob"

                    8.) People who unjustly inflict their power upon you, because they had a "Bad" day. And when you tell them to calm down or something, or just walk away from the problem they explode further.

                    9.) When my 3 sisters watch some teenage soap opera (dawsons creek etc) and the sing along with the damn songs...

                    10.) When you feel lazy, and gross even though you just took a shower, and worked all day.

                    11.) I work on cars exhaust, and when the customer revs his engine to 9000 rpm so I can maybe sort of hear a magical pinhole somewhere in the weld. I look, I get a mirror to show him, there is no pinhole, I cover the tailpipe, and tell him to hear around for any escaping air, or tell him to feel if there is air coming out, and NOTHING HAPPENS, but then he insists there is a leak. One little weld later, and he comes back the next day for another pin hole...I could go on,

                    12.) Allergies

                    13.)People saying WTF (as in "Double Yu Tee Eff") in a face to face conversation

                    14.) People who actually drive exactly the speed limit, and have 20 cars lined up behind them.

                    15.) Somewhere like "tim Hortons" or "dunkin Donuts'' gets your order completely wrong at the drive through line, and over charges you.

                    16.) When people make coffee so obscenely hot that your tongue is scalded for a weed

                    17.) People who sue companies for a retarted reason and win, like that lady who spilled coffee on herself and sue'd McDonalds

                    18.) Girls (or Guys..) who are 50 pounds overweight and still wear tight shirts and jeans so their flab hangs out like some sort of puddy.

                    19.) The welfare system here in canada, (not sure about how it works in the US) people who are to lazy to work, live on welfare for their entire lives; and don't even try to get a job. There should be a limit that like, you can get a welfare check for 6 months, and then they cut it. So you get a job they will give you like, a quarter of whatever your check is for another 2 months.

                    20.) Airport people, when they overbook flights and you had booked your flight 8 months in advance, and you get kicked off the plane because there are to many people and then you have to get a hotel and THEY don't pay for it because they overbooked it.

                    21.) The bills at a restaurant where they automatically take a tip off your credit card, and don't tell you, and then you leave a tip on the table and leave; look at the bill, and see they already took it...It's not like you could take the tip back, ...

                    22.) Kids around the age of 5 who are really, really spoled by their parents, and then you have to baby sit them. And they just demand everything. And cry when you don't do it like mommy does, and constantly hits you, ahhhh

                    23.) The new cartoon disney movies, what are they on like Land Before time XXXIV?

                    24.) When you are writing a really long "equation" in math class, and the teacher bumps your elbow because of her fat *** and rips the page apart.

                    25.) Women who don't shave their armpits, and flaunt it.

                    26.) Sequels to a really good movie that are terrible.

                    27.) Bug Bites that itch so bad, but you know that if you itch them it'll make it worse

                    28.) When there is someone making a really deep speech, like at a ceremony and you have to sneeze.

                    29.) Dandelions.

                    30.) Crab Grass

                    31.) Crabs

                    32.) When your on the bus, and you pull the wire to say stop around here and the bus driver completely ignores you.

                    33.) Fingertraps, you know that when you pull harder, it squeezes harder, so you push in, and then try to gently ease it out, and it doesn't work, so then you just try to stretch the thing apart, so it rips or something, and it doesn't..

                    34.) Water leaks, and you have no idea where they come from, so you test everything, and the leak goes away

                    35.) When Printers have a full cartridge, and they blur everything weird colours

                    36.) Stories that people tell for 30 minutes, and you expect a life lesson, maybe a joke, perhaps a new perspective, and then finally you discover that they have no point.

                    37.) when you smell someone who has spilt half their cologne collection on themselves, and you don't know where it is coming from and then you find out they followed you into the elevator

                    38.) The two guys who put porn all over AO,

                    39.) Cheaters, who fool everyone else but you.

                    40.) The legal system.

                    41.) Simple plan, every one of their songs that I hear is telling me to shut up, or feel sorry for them. I mean, they guy was a band geek, and he just complains in nearly every one of his songs, "it's christmas time, I want everything" "Why did this happen to me?" "Sorry I can't be perfect" ...

                    42.) Magazines, that just cook up weird rumours about people that have no truth at all..

                    43.) Seeing the same celerbrity on every magazine on the rack, and it's even worse when every one is saying something completely contrary, so nothing is true....

                    44.) Having to buy everything from the states, because here in canada paintball is an evil game.

                    45.) PMS, between 3 sisters and a mother, every week of the month sucks. You say hi to one sister, they ask you about your day, the other yells and screams at you because you didn't hang YOUR towel right, in YOUR bathroom.

                    46.) People who look in other peoples wallets without permission, same goes for purses I guess. It's none of your business to see how much money they carry,

                    47.) People who hide the fact that they are addicted to something ( I.E. Drinking, Smoking, Pills,) and deny it, when your just trying to help. Then they get mad at you,

                    48.) When your tools magically go missing, like the 9/16 socket from snap-on that just cost you $60...

                    49.) When people turn up the TV really loud, like my sister is doing right now. The volume is at like 40, when any civil person watches the same show at 22 or so...

                    50.) The human race


                    But for Jack&Cokes rules listed below...

                    1.) When people pronounce milk by saying"melk"

                    2.) When people say "hhhwite" not "white"...

                      Guys, try to limit AO comments. I was interested in hearing about the pet peeves in you daily life... (other than AO)

                      ...unless AO is the only thing in your daily life, please share your experiences related to your pet peeves.

                      BTW, this thread is not about what you HATE. That's for another thread.

                      I'm talking about the little things in life that really get to you. Not broad descriptions like "the human race", "mean people", "Republicans", "Democrats", etc.. Something detailed and almost insignificant, but really steams you. Those are "pet peeves".

                      Try to be specific...

                      Try to limit the number of peeves you describe per post. This way we can all have a chance to comment on them. If you make a long list, then people tend to just skip through it without reading it (a lot of people are lazy when it comes to reading long listed posts).

                      Cheers!

                        I also hate people around here who think they're demigods and cry like a baby when they get the same treatment that they dish out.

                        I also hate it when people talk down to me while pretending to "debate" when really they're just trying to swell their own egos even more.

                              Ok, little things that bother me...

                              When I open a bottle with the edge of the table and instead of taking the cap off the bottle it takes a cap shaped gouge out of the table. Oh well, my furniture is free.

                              When someone cards me at a restaraunt they always have to get the manager because its an out of state ID.

                              The weird sticky feeling on my face after shaving with a mach 3.

                              Wisdom teeth.

                              Dog tags. Theyre cold, theyre annoying, and I hate things touching my neck.

                              Wet socks.

                              NFL Ticket being exclusive to DirecTV.

                              Boredom, and not being able to do anything about it.

                              Legally binding contracts that only bind 1 of the parties involved.

                                I also really get steamed when elderly people who shouldn't even have drivers licenses insist on going 10 under the speed limit in the fast lane...
