View Full Version : Pet Peeves Thread
I always find it annoying when people say something like, "You're eating ______ for BREAKFAST?!
Yes, I think it's pretty clear that I'm eating ______ for breakfast. I don't remember offering you any, so I don't see what the big deal is.
Now, it's not like I'm getting up at 5 am, out of a dead sleep and eating half a lemon, 1/4 cup of Feta cheese, and fish heads and rice full of Tabasco sauce 3 seconds after waking up. I understand that certain things are tough right after waking up. However, if you think there are time restrictions on when foods will taste good, you are retarded and I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't interrupt my meal to make stupid noises at me.
Next, tonight, I gave a little old lady $3 because she said she was diabetic and needed to get something to eat. I know people with Diabetes, and have seen them all messed up when they can't control their sugar. So after I give this lady $3 (while alarm bells are going off in my head), I watch her go across the street to the store, stand outside for a few minutes and beg more money off the people coming out, then go inside. When she comes out a minute later, she bends over the trash can to unwrap her new purchase, and lights up a cigarette.
I can honestly say that I've never wanted to fuck up an old lady with a cane before, but I did tonight. Fucking stupid bitch. I realize that I should have known better, and should have listened to that voice in my head that was telling me to tell that lady to piss off, but I'm just not that kind of person. I actually see that as an asset, rather than a weakness, that my first response isn't to tell old ladies to go get fucked when they ask me for money. I'm just so angry because I was trying to be nice to someone, and do them a damn favor. That's the last time I'm going to give a stranger money out of the kindness of my heart. Stupid bitch (who was apparently smarter than me).
Last, don't order pizza on a credit card, then tell me that you have no money to tip me. You just financed food that is a TERRIBLE deal; not worth it at all. If you're going to waste your money, waste some my way for bringing it to your stupid ass. Additionally, if you're going to order $60 worth of pizza for 10 people, perhaps consider having each of the people you're feeding pitch a buck my way. I hate to make this last rant, because I generally don't think much of tipping, but if you're going to not tip me, then just do it and don't give me some stupid excuse. That just makes you look like a stupid asshole. Oh yeah, and finally, anyone over the age of 18 should know how to sign a credit card slip. If there is a tip line, and a total line, FILL THEM OUT! Don't just sign your name. That's just asking for someone less honest than me to fill out whatever tip they want.
Stuving, you have a lot of pet peeves man, you need to relax with some cold ones more often! [Beer]
Fuck em stuving, FUCK EM!!!!!!!
If you call someone with the explicit intention of having them show up at your house to personally hand you something within the next 30 minutes, TURN ON YOUR FUCKING PORCH LIGHT!
You know what I do when I end up on a street where not a single house has the porch light on? I get my gun ready to go. It really makes me nervous when not a single house has a lit up address to give me some bearing for how the addresses are laid out. That's how people carrying money get jumped in the middle of the night.
Tonight I delivered to 940 on a certain street. You'd expect that 940 would be about in the middle of the street, but in this case, 940 was one house away from 10th street, and this was a normal sized block. I've carried a flash light in the past to shine at people's houses to see the damn address, but the one time I did that, I had a guy run out of his house in his tighty whitey underwear with a rock the size of a cantalope and threaten to smash my head in with it "for shining a light at my house!" He's lucky I didn't know then, what I know now.
Anyway, many times, people's neighbors save them by having a lit up address.
You ever get one that was 5 to the third floor, then they pay you with a bag of change..
Good times in the delivery world.

My biggest pet peeve right now is people who drive an h3, saying they drive a "hummer"...
GD that annoys the shit outta me...
Had one guy where I work try to tell me his "hummer" wouldn't fit in his free carport, so he wanted compensation.. I was like, "um, my lifted silverado fits just fine, I think you can make it work...
Same guy tried to tell me that if we tried to tow him, that first, the tow truck wouldn't be able to tow his "hummer" and second, that he would just drag the tow truck around after they tried to hook him up... He drives a mid size suv designed for woman with tvs in the back for kids to watch barney while mom takes them to soccer..he drives an suv with a sticker in the mid $20s.... Not an $80k truck on 37s that you could literally drive into war right off the lot....
I dislike when slow people drive in the left lane. [Peep]

Do you hold it under the pizza box all James Bond and $hiat? [Flame]
I have three dogs. I like dogs. Control your fawking animals! The word child can also be substituted for dog.
When your dog pisses on my floor, I will very nicely hand you some paper towels and spot remover. Dont' look at me like I have a third eye. Take the hint and clean up the mess.
When your dog is attacking my dog, I will do what is needed to remove your dog from my dog. If you don't like that, then control your animal.
When you leave your dog in the car (to go get drunk in the bar) and it barks non stop for two hours straight, don't get bent out of shape when I tap on your shoulder and ask you to deal your animal.

I hate it when people start new threads with the same title and content of an older thread with several hundred posts already in it ! [ROFL1]
I hate it when a thread gets closed and someone starts a new one and then some one else bitches about there already being a thread started about the same subject. [Bang][LOL][Poke]
Why do people make pets out of peeves?........I dunno.[ROFL1]
Yes, I've been paid like $11 in change before. And once I'm pretty sure that one time a guy had just finished banging a hooker, because she was sitting naked on the bed, and he was just handing me handful after handful of crumpled up money.
I'm bored, so I'll chime in on this, what the hell.
1. The obvious - slow drivers in the fast lane. If they ever invent a bullet that will only kill someone for 5 minutes, you fuckers are the first to get shot.
2. The a-hole in the car next to/behind/in front of me who feels the need to let everyone know he has more money than brains and apparently sank a lot of it into the stero system. This ass-hat is the second one to receive the 5-minute bullet.
3. The moron who comes to my door (when a "No Soliciting" sign is clearly visible) and state: "Hello sir, just so you are aware, I'm not selling anything, but I know there was a recent hail storm in the area and my company is offering free roof inspections". WTF? No soliciting means just that, and includes offering free crap & religion too.
4. The old lady in line at the store (who looks like she was a waitress at the last supper) digging in her purse for an hour looking for a damn penny to complete the sale.
5. Last but not least... these piss poor attitude, no respect having, cocky, saggy pants wearing, punk ass kids who think the world owes them a living. Not to mention they have zero respect for anyone outside of themselves. So a big "thank you" for you being the fastest sperm out of the bunch.

Yeah, I love these. My wife will look at them like they have a third eye for a couple moments, and ask them if they know what "NO SOLICITING" means. I just ask them if they can read, and close the door.

Had a guy do that. "I am not selling anything" "It will not cost you a dime". He was trying to sell me some security and at one point asked me how many ground level entryways I had. I just looked at him. Seriously? I feel for the people stupid enough to answer questions like this. Whats next, asking what times I am at work? How the visibility is in my back yard?
So I ask him for some information so I can read it at my leisure (honestly I was having way to much leisure that day which is why he got as far as he did) and the fuck nuts didn't even have anything he could hand out. WTF.

I had some fun with Jehovah Witness people when I lived in Denver 12 years ago. I was butchering an Elk in my kitchen looked outside saw them a couple of doors down. I put on a white t-shirt grabbed some elk blood smeared it all over my shirt, face, arms and grabbed one of the biggest butcher knives I had. They came to the door, I opened it they saw the blood all over me. I said can I help you?? OHHH it looks like you're busy, Uhhhh we are. I said No No No come in please! I'm working on cutting up a Heart right now, but I'll listen. As I wipe my nose with my bloody arm. UHHH?? No we shoul----- Uhhh we have to go. No No No I insist come on in. They left in a hurry and never came back. Little pricks!! [ROFL1]

Might as well weigh in on this one:
1. Complete lack of common sense and common courtesy. They're just not common anymore.
2. People who are completely oblivious to the world around them. Sorry pal, but the world does not revolve around you. So hang up the f***ing cell phone, turn off the f***ing iPod, and pay attention to where you're walking/driving/etc. I'm not gonna look out for your dumb ass, I'm too busy looking out for my own.
3. People who can't grasp that their actions have consequences.
More to follow at some point.

This is a funny post. While I understand what you are saying about the H3, it IS still called a Hummer, so what else are they supposed to call it?
The part about the guy pulling a tow truck around had me cracking up. The H2 is a damn Tahoe, I don't know even know what the H3 is based off of. The H1 came with such a shitty motor that if it isn't on a flatbed tow truck once a month, it's a miracle.
when you post "firm" in a for sale item yet people still come up with offers.
when you say "trade offers of equal value accepted" and the equal value is a relative term and some people don't quite grasp where they think their trade item of laced with columbian cocaine then gold plated with a egyptian pharrohs nutsack gold cover.
or when you sell something for several thousand dollars and people show up with all 20's....um yeah buddy I am going to count it....ALL OF THE 20's you brought me. [Rant1]

H3 is based off the chevy colorado. little small thing. both my trucks would run that POS over. I hate the fact that they have the name "hummer" on them. completely ruined the good thing.
The H1 is an amazing vehicle. I grew up loving that thing, know probably damn near everything about it. I always said I would own one...even if I had to live in it. that mindset has changed but I will probably own one of them some day!

You can probably find a retired M998 HMMWV, which is what the H1 is based off except mil specs are way better for reliability and performance but aren't GM parts. The biggest main difference between the HMMWV and the "Hummer" is that the 998 series (and if you really luck out the 1109 UAH- Up-Armored HMMWV) has a more powerful engine, better torque, better trans, stronger axles and better suspension (for off road use). Also, one major difference, you get water over the hood of an H1 you are fuk'd... not with the mil version.
Ok, back to the topic, my biggest peeves are people who drive 10+ under the speed limit in clear, dry weather (usually on a two lane road, not highway). I don't want to say "minority" but they usually aren't white who put $4000 rims on a $700 car.
And lastly, people who think because they're older they must be smarter...

People who are standing directly in front of me in line at ____________ (insert fast-food joint name) for 10 minutes and then, when it's their turn to order...
The following is representative of an exchange that happened in front of me at Subway today:
Employee: "Hi. What can I get for you?"
Customer: "Ummmm. I'm not sure. Hold on."
15 seconds pass...
C: "Ummmm... What comes with such and such?"
E: (Explains to customer what menu right in front of her stupid ass says.)
C: "Ummmm.... Does it include ______?"
E: "Yes, ma'am. Just like it says on the menu."
C: "Yeah. I don't ummmm..... want that then. Ummmm.... I guess I'll have... Wait. What size comes with a drink?"
E: "All of the meal combos come with a drink."
C: "The meal combos? What's in the combo?"
E: "The combo includes chips and a drink."
C: "What kind of chips?"
E: "Any kind. Your choice."
C: "What kind do you have?"
E: (Very calm up to this point...let's go with a slight rolling of the eyes and points to the chip rack that is literally 5 feet in front of this moron's face.) "Here's our selection of chips."
C: "Ummmm..." (Finger to her lips like this is the most difficult decision she's made in her entire life. To be fair, judging by her cognitive skills, maybe it was.) "I'll have the bar-... No, I'll have the baked ones. Oh, wait. I'll have barbque."
E: "OK. What kind of sandwich do you want?"
C: "What size's do you got?"
E: "6 inch or foot-long."
C: "Can I get 2 6-inch sammwiches?"
E: "Yes. You can get whatever you want. Maybe you'd like to think about it for a minute while I help someone else?"
I flash the clerk a smile and a give her a "Thank you" nod.
C: "Ummmm.... OK. No, wait. I know what I want now. I'll have 2 6-inch BMTs."
E: "What kind of bread would you like those on?"
C: "What kind of bread do you got?"
E: Points to the bread menu literally 1 foot in front of this idiot's face.
C: "Ummm... I'll just have white. No... wheat."
E: "For both of them?"
C: "Yeah."
E: "Cheese?"
C: "Sure."
E: "OK...what kind?" (Employee is now getting the hang of this game.) "We have ...(lists cheese selections)."
C: "What kind goes best on that?"
Me: "Swiss. You should always get Swiss on a BMT."
C: "Really? OK....ummm...I'll have Swiss I guess."
E: "OK...Swiss on both of them." (Clerk looks at me funny and preps sandwiches)
E: "What do want on your first sandwich?"
C: "Ummm...they'll both be the same."
E: "OK...we'll just make it a foot long. It'll be cheaper that way."
C: "Oh, no. I can't eat a whole one. That's why I want 2 sammiches."
E: "I'll cut in half."
C: "That's OK. I'll just have 2 smaller ones."
E: "OK. Fine. What did you want on those?"
Einstein finally gets her veggies squared away.
E: "Will there be anything else?"
C: (Yells at someone across the store.)
Four young teens, 12 - 14, come running over and start the same process as mom.
After a little over 20 minutes this gaggle of idiots finally manages to pay for their meals, and surprisingly, found their way out of the store to their car without help.

Applause to you sir. That whole conversation just made my day! I used to work at a subway and just wanted to smash peoples face into the sneeze guard when they gave me that response and see if the person behind them gave me the same response after they have stood in line for 15 minutes starring at the menu.

Pet peeves? Oh, so many.....
Bailey, I regularly get yelled at by my fiance, when I yell at her at restaurants. 90% of the restaurants we drive through, haven't significantly changed their menu in 10 years, and we've been there so many times, that she should have them all memorized anyway. It absolutely drives me crazy when we've been in line for more than 30 seconds and she doesn't know what she wants. She gets pissed at me and calls me uptight, which is true, but it still drives me crazy.
Bailey, I would have lost it and either left or just rambled off to the guy what I wanted so maybe he could make the sandwich for me quickly and I could get on my way.
This is a real conversation that I heard at Subway the last time I was there.
"Hi, what can I get you?"
"Can I get ____whatever the bread that they JUST discontinued like two ago is_____?"
"Oh, we don't have that."
"I'll just take one with cheese or whatever on it."
"Would you like to try our new Seasalt bread?"
"Oh sure. It's been so long since I was in a Subway...like five years. Last time I was at Subway, my boyfriend, he's not my boyfriend anymore, I don't have boyfriends anymore, my boyfriend was really.....drunk."
"Okay, and what kind of sandwich can I get you?"
"Umm, tuna."
The sandwich artist and I had our revolver mouth washes half way to our faces before she shut the hell up. Good thing I was in front of her.

One of my pet peeves is when I order food somewhere and I have to stress that I have a MILK ALLERGY. If there is any cheese in my food, I CAN DIE. Please, please, no cheese, no croutons, no butter, no dairy, what so ever. The food is delivered to everyone at the table and lo and behold, there's a fat slice of cheese on my _____. I'm sorry sir, but I can't eat this. If I could just scrape the cheese away, I would because I don't exactly enjoy waiting an extra 10 minutes while you re-make my food.
I was in Subway yesterday and ordered my sandwich, on such and such bread with provolone cheese. She cut the bread, put the meat on (time elapsed: maybe 15 seconds) and asked "what kinda cheese did you want?" Holeee shit! Really? I deal with about 200 different ways I could get sued if I screw up my job, but here you just put food onto bread and you can't remember the cheese I just told you? I guess some people will not amount to much.
Also, another peeve... Driving down to my brother's house yesterday was this guy on 6th Ave headed East from I-70- my exit was Sheridan- and he was in the left lane doing about 60 in a 65. Then he proceeded to brake to make sure he didn't go over 60MPH. Trying to pass traffic in the middle lane I get behind him, give him ample time to make a lane change so I can pass, and nothing! I flashed my headlights at him. Nothing. Then an opportunity presented where I could pass him on the right ([Rant1]) and I take it. As I pass I honk and give him the finger, he has the gall to give me the finger back! Times like that I really wish I had Q branch to outfit my car with deployable road spikes to flatten his tires a little.

OH EM GEE U R Teh DEBIL!
you threatened people, they have rights and you shouldn't have a gun... yadda yadda yadda.....[LOL]
I Actually agree with you completely...
EDIT
Colorado Statutes 42-4-1013. Passing lane - definitions - penalty
(1) A person shall not drive a motor vehicle in the passing lane of a highway if the speed limit is sixty-five miles per hour or more unless such person is passing other motor vehicles that are in a nonpassing lane or turning left, or unless the volume of traffic does not permit the motor vehicle to safely merge into a nonpassing lane.
(2) For the purposes of this section:
(a) "Nonpassing lane" means any lane that is to the right of the passing lane if there are two or more adjacent lanes of traffic moving in the same direction in one roadway.
(b) "Passing lane" means the farthest to the left lane if there are two or more adjacent lanes of traffic moving in the same direction in one roadway; except that, if such left lane is restricted to high occupancy vehicle use or is designed for left turns only, the passing lane shall be the lane immediately to the right of such high occupancy lane or left-turn lane.
(3) A person who violates this section commits a class A traffic infraction.
Amend this to include a hefty fine.
you know... so cops will enforce it.
[ROFL1]
I Also believe that if you change lanes more than 10 times in a quarter mile of traffic jam because you are in a hurry and getting ahead on one more car might make a difference, you need to be forcefully removed from your car and gifted "surprise butseks" by the entire Raiders defense. YOU are one of the causes of the trafficjam dumbshit!

Ok...
The parking lot panhandlers...
Gal (not bad lookin) comes up to me in Target parking lot, as I am putting my purchases in the truck and says...
"Hey, I was just wondering.... you know, I just got divorced from my husband, he was abusive, and was wondering if, you could like, spare some money... I'm just trying to feed the kids and well... "
At this point I interrupt her and say (I notice there are no kids around) -
"You know what 'hon' - I've heard this one before and so I am gonna say no... I don't have any 'spare' money..."
She begins to quietly go off on things like...
"I'm just trying to make it..." and "Why you gonna be like that..." and so forth... continually as she walks through the parking lot...
I just get in the truck and think - hell I shoulda told her how she could make a quick twenty bucks...

Well, this is not about food or a "Pavement Princess" but it does have to do with firearms. At almost all gun shows, most folks know that it is just common courtesy to ask the table holder if he may pick up and check out a certain gun. Again, this is just common courtesy. I have had some brand new guns on the table without ANY handling marks, scratches etc and I am damn particular about all of my guns, so I place a large and easy to read sign (in English of course) right on top of the gun, asking folks to PLEASE get permission prior to picking it up and handling it. I have had numerous folks pick up the sign, read it and then toss it somewhere else on the table and proceed to pick up the gun and open the action etc. I NEVER pick up someone else's guns without first asking for permission even if there is no such sign. If I get the OK to check out someone else's gun then go back to the same table later and want to pick up the gun AGAIN, I'll still ask AGAIN. A lot of dealers/table holders will actually thank the potential customer for just asking permission to handle the gun.

That's rich!
I found a new one today on the way to the office:
How has it become that republicans are so damned evil now? Car in front of me:
"NOPE- Keep the Change" sticker, the O was the Obama symbol. Car next to them: "Obama-Biden 2012" sticker. NOPE car passes and Obama car driver sees sticker and gives a disgusted look. IIRC people were jumping on the bandwagon to bash Bush all day, but the second we bash the Glorious Savior of America we're the bad guys? WTF?
My latest pet peeve:
At least half a dozen times a day, I get the following phone call:
Me: Thank you for calling TFOG Wheelsports, how may I help you?
Foreign Accented Voice: Good morning. How are you dooday?
Me: I'm very busy, what can I do for you?
FAV: May I speak to Jim (butchers my last name)?
Me: Speaking
FAV: I am calling from local yellow pages...
Me: Not interested (having heard the spiel before, and not wanting to wast 20 minutes on the phone). Hangs up.
6 minutes later: Repeat. Same person on the other end of the phone, probably in India, Pakistan, or the far East. I've had to get downright nasty with them to get them to stop. For one day. [Bang]

while not guaranteed, try "place this number on your do not call list immediately" rather than "not interested"
if they abide by telcom laws, they're required to stop calling if you use that verbage.

They're extraterritorial contractors, so they don't abide by US law. I used to do that, and it didn't help.

I kept getting the same call from ADT asking if I'd like to get a free 12month security system if I advertise- told them I'm not a homeowner and to please remove me from their list... next thing I know- THEY STILL KEPT CALLING ME! After I asked the guy his name, his supervisor's name, and location of the company he asked why, this was my response: "Because I'm filing a complaint with the FCC and forwarding that complaint to the local FBI office for harassment." The calls soon stopped.

One of my favorite time wasters was to ask them to tell me what they are selling. Continue what I am doing and grunt every once and a while into the phone. They ask if that is something your interested in, ask them to tell you again with a bit more detail. Same as before, grunt a few times and continue what you are doing while basically ignoring what they are saying. When they again ask if you are interested tell them you are not the guy who makes that decision. They will ask for the guy who does, tell them to hold. Put the phone down go about what you are doing. Come back 5-15 min later and pretend to be someone else. Rinse and repeat. They will kill your number from their list internally.
So today I was driving down 88th ave east bound and making a left turn onto Colorado Blvd north bound. Well, when I was about 75 yards from the intersection, a car traveling 88th west bound turned north onto Colorado Blvd in front of me, and saw a FedEx truck sitting in the left turn turn lane on Colorado Blvd, waiting to turn left (east) onto 88th Ave. Got the intersection in your head? Me and other car driving toward each other, both of us going to turn the same direction onto Colorado Blvd, and stopped at the light on Colorado (on the side we are turning to) is a FedEx truck.
So what does the driver in the other car do? Makes a right hand turn into the far left lane and STOPS just beyond the crosswalk, rolls down the window, and starts waving a package out the window at the FedEx driver. I honked at the other car, and my daughter yelled at me from the back seat and told me that "you're supposed to say 'excuse me' Dad!"
Man, I can't think of many things that are more of a Bitch move than answering your own phone and pretending to be someone else.
I called this guys wife twice and left my info, and he didn't call me back. The second time, she said she could take a message (again), and I said, "Sure, I'll leave my info a second time." I tell this lady, "I'm trying to get a hold of this guy so I can get him all straightened out (I'm trying to help him, and I explain that), so if he's got another number, maybe I could call him there?" She says, "No he doesn't have any other numbers."
15 minutes later, I get a voice mail from this douche bag, telling me to "call me at this number" which IS A DIFFERENT NUMBER! So I call this douche bag up within the hour and the conversation goes like.
me: "Hi, is this Mr. Douche Bag?"
DB: "No, but I can pass on a message to him."
me: "..., ... Okay.... Well tell Mr. Douche Bag that I'm trying to take care of his problem, and some other guy will call him to get his shit fixed. Make sure he talks to this other guy."
DB: "He's going to call today?"
me: "YES!"
The next time I call him, I fully expect the convo to go like this:
me: "Hello, is this Mr. Douche Bag?"
DB: "No, but I can pass him a message."
me: "HELLO MR. DOUCHE BAG! Anyway, like I told you last time, this is what is going down. etc etc."
P.S. I don't really talk like that on the phone. I'm both ranting, and trying to be vague.
My lady recently had the same issue with some douche bags she was trying to help. She called this guy for 6 months, trying to get into contact with him to prevent him from being sued. His ghetto assed adult children and brain dead wife would answer the phone, say he wasn't there, take a fake message, and say that they didn't know his cell phone number. Finally, one of the adult mouth breathers told her, "Look, now a days, no one knows anyone's number okay? I don't know my dad's number! It is speed dial 6 on my phone!" He was speaking to her on the house phone. Did he pick up his phone and dial "6" and write down the number and give it to her? Nope.
So she told him that they were getting sued and to expect a call from an attorney. They threw a bitch fit and said she was being threatening and rude. Sucks for them. She tried to call them since MAY to represent this guy and prevent him from being sued (she's not a collector or anything like that), and he and his retard family didn't think it was important enough to return a phone call, so now they're going to be sued by a multi-million dollar corporation. Sucks for them/him.
I'm done. :)

Unless its your job or stand to gain something... why are you trying to help someone that doesn't want it?
Job, and that's what they pay for.
pet peeves short list
people who cant merge
people who try to goat me into an online argument
bikes that refuse to follow the same laws as everyone else
people that think that money makes them better than the rest of us
people who cant use the phone while driving or walking (hang the f*ck up if you cant figure it out )
the baseball trash that ends up in my yard every game
the light rail
people who shoot trees
trash (we all saw that one coming)
anti gun people
oh the list goes on
You'd think I'd know by now not to start the dishwasher immediately before a late night movie. You'd think I'd clean the fish tank more often and not let the water get low enough that I can hear the pumps dumping water louder than I can hear the movie.
