What are some of your pet peeves? Mr. Parcelan fucked around with this message on 11-04-2004 at 03:53 AM.
Fat guys who call big girls fat, even if the big girl is only moderately big, and the fat guy has to roll his belly up to piss.
Customers.
People who try to sell me shit. I dont wanna be SOLD something. I wanna BUY something. If I need it, I will be looking for it.
Cornbread. Aint nuthin wrong with that.
Anti-smokers. Not nonsmokers. I dont mind nonsmokers. But like, the redneck, who glares at me, and TELLS me to put out my cigarette, because smoking is a filthy habit, and he doesnt want his kids exposed to it. All the while, he's dribblin dip spit on his wife beater, and his kids are wearing HAND ME DOWN WIFE BEATERS, with stains, flip flops, shorts, and ITS FUCKING DECEMBER. These cockmobsters are more than happy to drip thier bad habit off thier chin as they browse the autoparts at walmart at 3am, but get pissy about MY bad habit, which blows away in a fresh winter breeze, from 20 fucking feet away.
Horny drunk chicks who cant get wet. God that pisses me off.

And the ones who suggest we change the way we do things, even tho they are not in the hotel industry, have no idea how it works, or even stay in hotels often.. and then get mad when I dont take a pad and paper, and write thier genius idea down.
Besides.. have you ever ordered a chocolate shake with no ice?

Headphones that blare more music outside the 'phone than inside.
The stereotype that fat guys = acceptable, fat girls = horrible abhorrent monsters who should stay out of sight at all times.
High school kids who want to "get a career in music". As someone who lives in a musical family, with three family members all as some sort of professional musician (even though I'm the only non-music person in the family), I know the damn sacrifice it takes to get DECENT, let alone GOOD... and then there are the kids in class with 52 averages who want to go be a rapper because they either suck at everything else, can beatbox, or think it'll be easy millions.
People vomiting in the next room/bathroom stall very loudly when I am very drunk/high.
People at concerts who think large crowd = anonymity = perfect chance to strip to your boxers and drunkenly dance around people who are trying to watch the damn performance.
Musicians who speak Musician/math geeks who speak Math Geek/computer guys who speak Computer Speak/any other specialist person when in a group of other specialist persons with ONE person (usually me) who is NOT a member of that group and is hence forced out of the conversation when they begin speaking in a language I do not understand for forty minutes.

My brother.
Cold.
Snow.
Seattle drivers.
Seattle drivers in the rain.

The fact that I can't control my own choice not to have a child beyond controseptives that can fail. I mean, I'm almost 30, I have *NO* plans to have children, ever. No this will not change. I kill that mothering crap when I see my friends with kids.. Oh wait, I don't see my friends because of thier kids. "We just don't have time anymore... the kids..." GIVE ME A HYSTERECTAMY OR TUBES TIE DAMMIT!!
Kids.
Soccor moms.
2,000 miles.

Overweight people who bitch about how it's not thier fault.
People who look like a skeleton with skin. (that's more creepy then anything else)
Spiders.
People who try to tell me that a word that's been used for years to mean one thing is wrong. When they're king of my life, they can tell me what to say or call myself. Untill then, shut the fuck up.
Pet Peeves.
Milk.
Periods that last 3 weeks.
Not allowed to have chocolate when I'm having a three week long period.
People.
Fruit flies.
The fact that I can't spell, it's known. STOP FUCKING CORRECTING ME! If I notice, I'll correct it, if I don't fucking deal.
Irony.
Murphy and his fucking laws.
Excessively bright, sunny days with no clouds anywhere in the sky at all (I like it when it's overcast, dammit. 
)
Running out of time when I'm using timecards for games like EQ and CoH.
Forgetting important things, only to remember them when it has just become too late to deal with the issue.
WoW servers crashing. 
I'm sure there are others, but those are the only ones that popped into my head.

professors that can't speak comprehensible english. I know that you're new to the country, and you may be brilliant, but if nobody can understand what you're saying, then you're failing in the sole function of your job, which is to impart knowledge to your students.
people that think the world owes them something. They whine about how they just can't get a break, and everything is so unfair, and yet they never expend one iota of energy trying to rectify the situation.
people that bash my hobbies. I know that most people don't care about headphones, computers, cards, and books, but I do, and I don't bash Gucci, faded jeans, pot-smoking, and going clubbing.
No, Really. Bite me.
- Lofty complements for little things. I dunno, they just make me feel awkward.
- People who expect lofty complements for little things.
- Bullies.
- People who will only answer questions like, "How've you been?" by reciprocating the question back to me, even if I've already answered it.
- People assuming I can't lift stuff (or do other things for myself) because I'm shorter than them. If I need help, I'll ask for it.
- Emergency fire doors being used as convenient exits for smoking breaks.
- Guys whose idea of flirting with women is announcing loudly that they'd like to fuck that pussy.
- Parties where the main objective is to get drunk.
- Getting lectured on a topic after I've made it perfectly clear that I don't want to discuss that topic.
There's probably more. I'm usually pretty good at putting up with stuff that bothers me. After all, I've had a lot of practice.

HAY GUYS LETS ALL JUST USE THAT WORD FAG LOLOLOL
History lesson is up for the idiot: "Faggots" or "fags" were bundles of firewood
in Europe. How did the term get used for homosexuals? Cuz they were
burned at the fucking stake for being different centuries ago.
Doesn't that just make you want to toss it around like you're cool?

-Using Gay as a multi-purpose adjective. "That movie was so gay." etc.
Sadly, my resistance to society has lessened. I used to be on the verge of turning around and smacking anyone who used it like that. Now I don't even blink.
sleep.-When people use 'fag' or 'gay' because someone else did something idiotic. Like 'don't be such a fag'.
It's not something people hear about.
-People who draw out massive explanations about words unnecessarily. Especially in the case of something like "fags".
-Anyone who starts out a phrase with something like, "A little history lesson for you," and isn't an instructor.
-People who insist on talking to you constantly, but never bring anything to the conversation for you. (Like someone coming up and telling you all about their day, or something they want, and never really talking TO you, just having you listen. Exceptions for this are when someone just needs a rant to blow off steam).
-People who argue for the sake of arguing, and go out of their way to be an ass about it. We have a guy like that on our University LearnLink, and he's an enormous pain. His last name elicits nothing but groans from people who have met him.
-Humidity. It's a terrible thing. I'd trade it for the scorching dry heat of Arizona in an instant.
People who are able to pay for printouts and put down the money for it, then spy the change cup we keep for people who forgot their wallet or some such reasonable reason, take their money back, and say, "Just use that right there!" These people usually get pissy when i say, "Sorry, but that's for people who are a bit short and can't pay."
People who don't read any of the material and instead ask the professor to repeat things over and over during lecture because they (shockingly!) don't understand the material being disscussed.
-My lack of will to do Laundry on a set schedule.
-Drivers who, at a four way stop, sit right behind someone else and take their turn at the same time as the car in front of them, just stopping a bit at the sign, and when they see you've pulled forward to turn.
-People who bitch and complain that they're marks are so bad and how it must be that the teachers hate them, and don't take credit for fucking it up themselves.
-People stealing my CD's, and telling me they don't have them even when I KNOW they took them.
-People who shank others at Christmas (even though I wasn't, and didn't.)
-Friends who say after High School "Oh, we'll SO come visit you!" and never do, even though you've made the effort to go visit them a billion times since moving away.
-Insomnia.

I feel your pain. I've told stories about late fees in the past too, heh. I love some excuses people give.
