...I'm trying to watch an Escapist video, the far-too-long "Space Janitors"-trailer spins every time. 15 seconds I could have lived with, but half a minute? Not making any good publicity for the show and it's sure as hell alienating me from it.

When someone hits your car and takes off the mirror leaving no note so you have to file a police report, deal with insurance and hopefully get it fixed because I have to fucking move in a few days and start driving to work through the downtown area and it better damn well be WITH my driver's side mirror.

Busy street, no one stopped to leave a note saying they saw what happened. I live in the rich part of town right now (in a cheap place right beside the military base) - no fucking surprise the asshole didn't stop. Obviously it was an SUV too, as the mirror is shattered in the top corner so whatever hit me was a big peice of shit making up for a tiny penis.

So now I have to miss work tomorrow to get it assessed and more time later this week when the part is in, since on Saturday we start moving.

I also have to pay the deductible, of course.

when a genuinely good sci fi series gets cancelled

Or when i get told A levels are too easy, thanks I spent 2 years working my arse off for those, don't say well done or hasn't the education system come a long way since the 50's, no it has to be you education is not worth anything any more

or when i get little red wavy lines under arse

or when despite passing my driving test, all insurance companies decide I need to pay in advance for all the cars I'm apparently going to drive into

or when people criticise perfectly acceptable modern phrases to sound clever or something, I don't care that it's only been brought into use in the last decade or so and before that in meant something different, people understand me so that is what matters.

or when you realize your going to have to call Xbox live customer service and seriously consider starting all your games again and re buying DLC rather than have to go through that particular hell.

or when next doors wireless signal is stronger than your own

Slow walkers.

People who drag their feet when they walk.

People who stand on the wrong side of the escalator.

People who try to rush into the elevator/bus/subway before the people inside have gotten out.

I live in a big city, so pretty much all of my peeves are related to navigating around other people.

These people who comment on every single site about how much music/movies/people sucks these days, and how things were better back in their days. Now, if they were like 80 years old, I'd be fine with it, but these people range from 22 to freaking 14! What the hell? Back in "your days" you were like 6 years old and had just learned how to count to 20.

The little kids who think that they're mature adults now just because they're playing a rated M game and know a few swear words, which they usually reiterate with undue passion. Seriously, you shouldn't even be playing the game and telling me to "suck your d*$%" over and over just makes you look even less mature than it would if you were my age and said it, little bastards.

Little kids(and some adults) who don't seem to understand that yelling into the mic is not going to make it easier to understand them and that practically putting the mic into their mouth so that we can them breathing is not helping either.

When my teammates quit mid-game or at the end of a match just because our team is losing and even more so getting put on the losing team near the end of a match because those guys left the game. Either stay in the whole match or don't play the game at all. The only time you have any form of excuse is if you legitimately have to go do something, get lagged out/power or internet goes out, or if the entire opposing team is using and abusing every cheap trick and tactic in the book.

When the video I'm trying to watch keeps pausing then jumping forward a few seconds later every few seconds, but the audio is working perfectly. It's fine if it does that when I'm listening to music, but it's strait bullshit when I'm actually trying to watch a video.

Alarm clocks. Especially on the days I have to get up early.

Also having to do laundry and take out the trash >_>

Yeah... mine are pretty simple.
Here's one, when your alarm clock doesn't actually wake you up. I use my phone's alarm at full volume using the loudest ringtones on there it it still doesn't get me up sometimes.

One that really pisses me off is when I am going to do or say something and then completely forget what it was. I mean come on, I knew what it was two seconds ago why can't I think of it now?!

This thread doesn't really contribute in making The Escapist Forums less of a whine-and-cry fest than it already is.

Anywho. It's really annoying when you have to give up something you like, to save money.

When you have an emergency and make a phone call, and you have to be on the phone with a robot for 3-6 minutes before a human being answers the phone... a human being that has only a vague notion about what his company or whatever is doing. Then they connect you to someone they think can help you, but they can't, so you gotta ring this and this number... all the while I am getting fucking pissed.

Half the stuff people do on Facebook. Don't get me wrong, I do quite like Facebook; it's useful for organising events, sharing photos, contacting people and a lot of my friends are genuinely quite funny. But the 'LADbible' thing is a pile of ****, liking photos doesn't help starving Ethiopians or cancer-stricken kids, and *****-fights are either annoying or hilarious, depending on who's involved. Oh, and people who post photos or make statuses about every single tiny thing, however insignificant.

"I don't have pet peeves. I have major psychotic fucking hatreds." --George Carlin

The complete disregard of others for my existence.

Being interrupted. There are talkers and there are listeners. If you're with a talker, just don't say any damn thing at all, because they won't let you finish anyway.

People who won't put their cell phones down for five seconds. Yes, I am at work, I am being paid hourly to serve you. That does not mean you get to forgo basic human courtesy. Imagine me doing a crossword, from which I do not look up the whole time I deal with you. Pretty insulting, right?

People who step off the curb when you're mere feet away, especially without looking, because hey, screw the laws of physics, you're required to stop your three thousand pound machine from hurting them!

Boys who think they are men because the Earth went around the Sun a certain number of times.

Anyone who thinks quickscoping is a valuable life skill.

It's really annoying when people do not understand what Atheism means. Also generalizations that aren't close to the truth. *nudge nudge* (okay maybe the vocal part is true)

People who bring their kids to places like restaurants and pubs and then make no effort to control them.If you want to let your little bastards run around shouting their heads off bring them to a fucking park not a confined area where other people are trying to enjoy a quiet meal/drink

People who bring their kids to the pub at night.A pub at 9:30pm on a saturday night is no place for children.If you can't get/afford a babysitter then stay at fucking home

Drivers who ignore stop signs/red lights etc.There's a pedestrian crossing not far from my house and the amount of times I see drivers just drive straight through the red light is ridiculous.I've nearly been knocked down there several times because some moron decided to drive straight through while I'm crossing

It's really annoying when life goes on a eerily good streak for you, everything working out in your favor. Then you realise that to balance itself out, life will basically shit on you just as hard. You also realise that this is basically inevitable cos that's just the way life is.

People use the internet as their own personal venting spot.
Also when your resolution is changed by something and it doesn't change back when you close it.

When Virgin Media provide super fast fibre optic internet across the country... except for where I live.

When Virgin Media plaster the country in adverts about how they're DOUBLING their internet speeds... for their super fast fibre optic customers.

When Virgin Media cut my area's internet for 3 days with no warning.

When my internet (which is provided by Virgin Media) is extremely unreliable and will fluctuate in speeds almost constantly (between 4mbps and 0.1mbps).

Conversely I do appreciate the lack of a download limit but this only barely makes up for their constant cock ups.

When I tell someone I don't like something and they reply with "OMG how do you not like it?!?!? There's no way you can't like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I have my reasons. Fuck off.

Also overly religious people who act as if their religion is the best. When it comes to religions, I respect everyone to have their beliefs, and hope they can be reasonable about my own. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO they have to convert me now that they know I don't believe in (insert religion figure here).

This doesn't apply to a specific religion. Just specific people. Who generally happen to be Catholic. Again, doesn't apply to all Catholics.

And there's reasons I don't like to hang around girls...OH, don't get me started on the girls at my school...

I'M GETTING STARTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...The hell? When did I type that?

...I think I posted that in the middle of the night or something. I THINK I thought I was talking about evolution...Well, note to self. I'm incredibly stupid at three in the morning.
