Irritating Little Pet Peeves

OK bring it on. Lets hear them.

My pet peeves have to be weird or completely meaningless cryptic website addresses. Like "www.lemonbovril.co.uk", or "www.ebaumsworld.com"... I mean what the **** is the point? It's god damned meaningless, why would a name like that ever mean anything to anyone? And why would they remember it for any other reason except "That name sucks"?

A non functional example would be: www.vil-bonc.net

Another pet peeve of mine is a forum argument that goes nowhere, and hopes to go nowhere, and also wants to go nowhere. For instance "I am not an idiot" "yes you are, everyone thinks you are" "Well they think wrong" "how would you know? you're an idiot!"

Again, what is the ****ing point? You aren't going to achieve anything, DROP IT! GAAAAH!

Ahem.

Ah yes...pet peeves. One of mine would be when I see my neighbor throw garbage in my outside trash bin when his is full. I just feel so violated when he does that!

You must be my Neighbour , my family always does that.

Also Death, the name of the website might not mean anything to you, but it might mean something to the creator of the website. Also the name might be meant to start threads like this, so it actually has a meaning and you have done what it was meant to do.

Ok with the arguement part, it takes 2 to tango, it takes 2 hands to clap.. etc... It is everybodies fault that an arguement starts and keeps going.

As usual everything I say is ****ing wrong. Joshy always has to correct it.

Remind me not to post my opinions before verifying their correctness with you.

Spitreful correctiong. It does nothing.

The way Music Match Burner Plus makes the computer lock up for about 10 seconds when 90% done.

My mom's ranting. If she talks constantly about something, I hate it. if she nags me about not doing something, I'll hate it. Etc...

Social butterflies who find it necessary to squeeze in 1 more minute of talk before the class bell rings. Damn the selfish bastards.

Crazed drivers.

The people-in-the-hall roadblocks at school, in which several people are lined shoulder to shoulder and walking at a slow rate, effectively preventing traffic flow through a hallway.

Arguments over a subject in which both participants are unlikely to change views. Despite the fact nobody can resist the urge to continue on against a view they consider stupid, in the end it's a giant waste of time. Such as the whole gay marrige thing. In the end, it's always a stalemate.

Whenever mechanical pencil lead breaks right as you try to write, causing you to click out more.

The "cool", "alternative" music too many people listen to. Over, and over, and over. The best thing to do with music is to stagger when you listen to it, so you don't become sick of a decent song.

Waking up around 8 on a weekend morning, then unwittingly fall back asleep, and wake back up around 11 or so, thus giving myself the feeling of an entirely wasted day.

Having a grey-shaded feeling of having to pee when I'm in bed after brushing my teeth, forcing me to either get up or have a psychological brain-lock on that urge to pee while trying to get to sleep.

People who recite fake tidbits or facts.

Not knowing what my voice sounds like from 3rd person.

Losing a button off one of my shirts.

Being unable to find a certain song on any site to download, despite however much time I spend looking. Makes me sort of miss KaZaA. Sort of.

Biased reviews.

Platform fanboys. They often lead to the stalemate arguments. "Duh... X Box gets GTA? No fair! You should only get GTA once we get Halo!"

Poor quality mice and keyboards.

The way color pencils never sharpen quite right.

Having no gum or mints, therefore being unable to freshen my breath after lunch.

The day before going back to school after a break. Nothing ever seems to get accomplished, and all the procrastinated work gets shoved into a small amount of time.

Having my glasses slip off during a heavy, sheet-like thunderstorm onto a sidewalk, causing the lense to pop out, thus having to squat down in the pouring rain while looking into a bunch of runnoff water.

Not being able to complete a full list of pet peeves because I need to go to sleep. I'll post more tomorrow.

When my cat begins coughing up a furball on the carpet, I move him to the tile or garage floor where it is much easier to clean up...but no, at the last minute my cat runs right onto the carpet and releases his soggy furball all over it. Why! WHY!

*calms down*

ahem...I'm fine.

Ditto.

The word "n00b." Out of all words in the gamer's vocabulary, "n00b" is the most pointless, annoying, and overused. I absolutely can't stand the word unless it is used in a sarcastic or "cute" fashion. We were all new to something at one point, people. For the love of God, quit using the word "n00b."

People who do their monthly shopping at 10:00 at night, and then complain when there is only one register open. What the f*ck were you expecting?

In Unreal Tournament 2004 during an Onslaught match when you bash an enemy power node down so it only has a the smallest amount of red in its "health" bar, only to have one of your nodes destroyed by Redeemer right before you can strike the final blow. I try not to use emoticons, but...

Smearing ink on a drawing.

When I forget to turn off my alarm clock on a day off.

EDIT1: The fact that little coke bottles cost more than the 2 liter coke bottles. Stupid fascist coca-cola.

Getting home, sitting in front of the television, and thinking to myself "The plastics on this TV were probably an attractive tree-fern some 10 million years ago..."

It really winds me up, and I can't seem to control it...

When you leave a 12 page assignment in your locker for a week and lose it the day it's due.

When you miss one day of school and come back to find everyone laughing at you because your arch rival spreads f*cking rumours!

Hearing a godo song ont he radio that you don't know the name of.

Running out of tape.

The way that no matter how careful, how delicately, how slowly I operate a pen or marker, ink ends up and on my hand and it smears.

Nitpicks who point out "flaws" that "perfect" people make.

Having annanounced schedule changes on TV.

Having to get up from the most perfect state ever-right when you wake up, you're incredibly comfortable, warm, and all that jazz.

Wrinkled rugs.

The cackling laughter of a pack of girls at something that isn't funny.

Whenever you get into an argument with a person devoid of any thought, common sense or reasoning, get angry, but can't think of any comeback they wouldn't just laugh at.

Things being thrown in any sort of confined space, sports or games excluded.

Teachers who play favorites (One reason why I especially hate any sort of actual athletic class. Coaches are the nastiest with this.)

Remembering something after it's too late to do it. Ie: Forgetting to pick up a CD before you got in the car, getting something at a store, extra credit work, etc...

Remote controls with buttons that don't work.

Having a pen run out of ink, and then having none other pen to use afterwards.

People who snicker, laugh, talk, etc... during live preformances of any kind. Damn them to hell.

Having an unsaved word document crash.

Getting the first scratch, dent, etc.. on something, taking the first bite of a prepared meal, having to tarnish the beautiful yellow point on a brand new highliter. Stuff like that.

Button mashes.

Hitting every red light down a road.

Car design flaws. I went to the Official Dallas Autoshow today, and found quite a few:
- Large, hard plastic expanses. Worst on pickups.
- Center consoles that flip TOWARDS the passenger, effectively preventing any use. The main deal with this is that cars with these awful center consoles usually have...
- Glove compartments that you can't open because of positioning compared to your legs. Combining this with a crappy center gives a passenger no storage space, whatsoever.
- Useless cop holders.
- Having no arm room for passengers. This was quite possibly to most common problem I found, and it's VERY uncomfortable to have your arm squashed right next to you.

Finding an unlabled CDR music disk of mine.

Forgetting to wear a belt after I'm already at school. When I can drive, I swear i'll keep an extra belt in it. Just in case.

Bad color schemes or choice of judgment.

Excessive packaging on CDs, video games, DVDs, etc... Sure, it's too keep people from swiping disks inside of the cases, but it's a pain having to tear off the plastic wrap, and then the god awful tape keeping it closed.

The lasik ads placed on the Sunday comics, EVERY FREAKING WEEK! And no only are they always there, but are an immense pain in the ass to tear off. God, if I wanted a corrective eyesight operation, I would have gotten it already. Damn Dr. Boothe and his lasers!

People who wear shirts that are too small. Nobody wants to see a gut. Unless it's a hot person. Then, exceptions may be made.

Needing to staple something, only to find the stapler you wanted to use is empty.

Needing to blow your nose, only to find the tissue box is empty.

The way horrizontal surfaces have a magnetic attraction towards anything capable of being placed on it. Magazines, paper, chip bags, pens, mail, etc...

How any sort of weather condition, whether it be rain, darkness, or cold, makes people drive like clueless piles of dung.

People who drive too slow. My dad and I have concluded that if you find a person driving under the speed limit, and look towards them as you pass by, it'll be either one of two people; An elderly chap, or a forgeigner.

The way prices of some products, namely candy, are higher at regular grocery stores than dollar stores.

People who always try to wear headphones, thinking they're cool, listening to that same "cool" music that sucks, and listen to loudly at that.

People who don't scoop the poop.

"The Gas Cycle". You need to pass gas. But you can't, because it's a public situation, confined car, or something of that nature. Then, when you can finally let it out, it's gone. And thus the cycle continues indefinately.
---

Ick. I think I got ahead of myself. But the thing is, I'll probably think of more later. Curse my easily annoyed mind!

EDIT: Curses. Remembered the dog poop thing. Randomly.

EDIT2: I just tooted, reminding myself of the gas cycle.

I hate the way that the only person who sells decent waterphones is Richard Waters, who lives on Hawaii and charges $1000 a piece.

I could buy a really high quality Ibanez guitar for that money (not that I want one) but at least the guitar probably wouldn't get some anal lovin' in the mail.

For those of you that don't know what a waterphone is : http://oddmusic.com/gallery/om33000.html

And it sounds like this: http://oddmusic.com/playlist/waterphone.m3u

It's a pretty famous instrument, used in alot of horror movies for that "haunting" bell sound. I really want to get one, since I do alot of that kind of music, but I can't find any dealers other than the inventor, Richard Waters, who has put his manufacturing on hold...

Having to wash my hair with hard water.

Running out of shampoo when I'm already in the shower.

Not having enough pillows in a hotel.

Having the room at night be of that akward temperature; a sheet is too hot, no sheet is too breezy/chilly.

The overpricing of "energy" drinks and coffee at stores.

Smudges on computer moniters.

Getting tape stuck to your fingers.

Smudging white out on yourself, because it's damned impossible to get off.

Having a light burn out.

The way on cheap radios with a little turny doodab to adjust the station, you can never quite get the frequency to come in perfect.

How some people have flat out obnoxious cell phone rings.

Accidentally touching dried gum on the bottom of desks. Hell, I really hate that.

Finding an unflushed crap.

Having to walk up and down stairs several times in a row, because of forgetting something. Quite a pain.

Anywho, I'm at a friends house at a sleepover party type thing. And I'm pretty sure this one guy will want to play EQ for a couple more hours, despite having played it almost nonstop from 11-2:30. Horrendous, curious, yet awful all at the same time. Plus, I really hate this keyboard/mouse.

Bah! Hard water is awful. I have soft where I live, and it's great. But up at my grandparents hosue and such, I hate washing my hair. It always feels so limp and heavy, quite irritating.

Your hair must be the opposite of everyone else's, I've known so many people like that. Hard water does make your hair heavy, I agree, but that's natural and alot healthier for your scalp.

Morons.

Yes, Morons.

For example I recently got a mole removed from my face to stop morons calling me moley and shit like that, and so for the next few weeks I have a quite visable scar on my face with obvious stitches. So far I've had about 16 people thinking I have a nose bleed and one group of people thinking it's a funking mole.

Oh and People who are too smart for their own good.

Same here. Usually moms that have a son who wants to know how to get his hair like that. The moms quiz you about it until they know exactly what waxes and gels you use.
