What is your biggest pet peeve?

[Connor Mulhern]

I ask you this question, what is your personal pet peeve?

Personally, its when people call me, and they have NOTHING to talk about, yet even when I tell them to only call me when they have something important, I still receive these pointless calls at least a couple of times a day

Well, I have a few pet peeves of my own but to keep it simple, I'll state the biggest one:

I really hate it when guys(mainly) start giving me relationship advice to get a girl because I have never had a girlfriend. I'm pretty sure I can get one on my own without any help from annoying D-bags telling me a "sure-fire" way to get one.

a big pet peeve of mine is when people ask a question, then answer it them selves immediately after asking it. Its a sign they didn't think their question out before asking it.

It happened a lot this past weekend at Anthrocon... I'm hanging out down town at a bar dressed as a blue dragon and people still run up shouting "OMG are you a furry?" ... No, they are changing the mascot for the Pittsburgh pirates and I'm applying for the job at midnight tonight :3

Mine would simply be repetitive noises.

I don't deal well with stupid people. I don't mean people who are uneducated, I mean people who act as if they don't have a brain in their heads and are unwilling to do anything about it.

Take a coworker of mine for example. I refer to his as Slinky, because like the toy with the same name, he's useless, but fun to push down the stairs. He's supposed to be the service manager at the auto repair shop where I work. He doesn't know how to price up the estimates that I hand him, and on the ones that I price out for him, he can't sell the job to the customer. He once handed me a work order for a brake inspection because the customer was complaining about a grinding sound. The brakes on the car were worn to nothing, and all of it needed to be replaced. He managed to talk the customer out of getting their brakes fixed.

I hate when I get texts that have absolutely no meaning and then he gets angry because I didn't respond to any of his texts... I'm like you said, "Oh no I'm dying in zombies"... I'm sorry was I supposed to be deeply concerned about that or something.

Also RPGs that offer multiplayer but it has no real reason to play multiplayer because it won't benefit your character at all just waste your time or they make you share a health bar with the other person or you can only do it on split screen with no online mode.

I hate when people dislike something without knowing what it is, or when they think everything is the same based on one example.
Like the many people who think ALL games are like Call of Duty or that all anime is Like Dragonball Z, and yes it is ALWAYS Dragonball Z that they bring up.
and that all comics are about superheroes.

Oddly I'm the oppisite, I hate when multiplayer games have online but no Split-screen, Sometimes I want to play with 4 people in my room and not have to go online with a bunch of foul-mouthed pre-teens

I thought of a really good one the other day but I believe I have forgotten...

Oh well, Here's two off the top of my head:

I volunteer at the county food bank. We give out food and whatnot to people who qualify. I love doing the work but what seriously gets under my skin is that the people, who are getting FREE FOOD, will pick through the box (or bags) and say 'oh i didn't get this' or 'Can I have something else instead of this?' - I lose a tick of faith in humanity every time it happens...

Also, I have a friend that seems to think i'm his 'bodyguard' and he tends to run his mouth and talk crap to people in public when i'm around. I've told him that if someone comes up and jacks his jaw, I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy the show.

Alot is not a word.

It's a mythical animal.

Spoiler: Alot

The words you mean to type are: a lot. Notice the space??

If you want to use that word, use it like this:

Spoiler: Alot more

Wow. Awfully convenient that someone would so perfectly demonstrate one of my most loathed pet peeves in a thread about pet peeves!

Language is about establishing communication, and so long as communication has been established then language has done its job. Is the space in there really that necessary for you to understand it? It's just an arbitrary writing convention, and getting upset about somebody breaking it is like hassling somebody because they used the wrong fork at a fancy restaurant.

When someone repeats what I said in a stupid mocking voice, I quite literally can't see for a second it's all red with a chance of evisceration.

Well since I already made a thread about this, what I said in that thread.

Oh my God, I can't even tell you how much this gets on my nerves. And being a modern high school student doesn't make things any better, since I see problems with those three words all over Facebook, texts, etc.

 

[Tuesday Night Fever]

I hate it when people look over my shoulder.

I have no real logical reason for it, I just can't stand it.

You made a threat about weird pet peeves, this is about large pet peeves. Like elephant large.

As I've said before "...you know what I mean?" and other phrases and similar phrases or words that just take up space for no reason. But that one really grates on me because it sort of presumes that the person isn't following the conversation for some reason. Of course I know what you mean, you just said it!

I never really had any pet peeves until recently when my friend's friend joined our group in the mall, and when we were deciding where we should go eat she would suggest restaurants with good appies. Yea appies, apparently it means appetizers. It was the most annoying word I had ever heard. I don't know why, it seems like such a harmless thing, but I felt sick after hearing that.
