Worst pet peeve?

[NISMOskyline]

My biggest pet peeve is when a little kid stares at you for 5-10 minutes straight. And I'm not talking a cursory, interrupted stare, I mean a full-on, directly facing me, I-can-feel-the-person's-eyes-burning-my-soul kinda stare.

 

[X-Othermic]

People staring at me... and cows staring at me.

Feeling peeved yet?

There seems to be a lot of paranoid people in this thread, so many...

... i hate it when people walk behind me at the same speed..

...i hate it when people look at me...

Come on guys, you need to spend more time away from those screens - your starting to drift away from reality.

I also made a thread like this for a school project for people to list all their pet peeves.

Honestly... that nobody seems to read my posts but they post the same thing I just said. That or sometimes nobody response to a question I post.

C'mon, that's just not cricket.

On that subject. I hate when I'm watching cricket and someone walks in and says 'Cricket is stupid' or 'Cricket is boring'. When they have no idea about cricket.

I also hate when someone uses my bowl and my spoon and doesn't wash it and put it back. I have eaten the same cereal, out of the same bowl, with the same spoon every morning since I was in primary school, and I throw an absolute fit if someone has left it in the sink with ice-cream in it. I'm deadly serious here.

One more, when my mum borrows my car and seemingly goes out drives through a 5 foot high pile of mud, followed by a quick trip across the desert to catch at least 4,000 insects on the screen, then brings a dirty kangaroo inside and lets it roll around on whatever clean surface it can find. Then she expects me to wash it!

So you're seriously saying that you don't mind it at all when some one stares directly at you for a long period of time?

Now if it's someone you know, that is very different. But when you don't know the person, it's a bit creepy.

Another pet peeve I have is when people dismiss my pet peeves as paranoia. I'm not paranoid; I just fear everything.

One of mine is when walking some were,and a black dude says "What you lookin at?"Before I look at him....

 

[Encyclopedia]

This thread has become way bigger than I had first been imagening.

 

[VIPFREAK]

I'm officially adding this one but...

Shaving and the little damn hairs that appear afterwards. If it's hair anywhere else then it would be hair that's not connected to the body that I hate.

OK, I found a new one this weekend.

I went to church with my wife and since I am not Catholic I have to be attentive to keep up and even hope to mumble sounds that sound close to the responses. Well, two guys behind us were talking from the beginning until about halfway through the homily (sermon). During one prayer I clearly heard all about a client (it's church, not work) and then I truly got upset during the scripture reading. I mean, if there is one moment during teh whole thing when you should be quiet I think it should be then. The whole ceremony leading up to the scripture reading appears to signify that this is highly important.

For some reason this bothered me even more than talking in a movie or play. This is supposed to be sanctified and holy. If not, then why are you there?

I am not looking for any kind of religious debate, it just seemed a most inappropriate place.

The only thing worse was when someone's cell phone went off during my wife's grandfather's funeral and they didn't try to silence it so no one could pinpoint who it was. Take the shame and turn the thing off out of politness!

 

[Kylehnat]

Uh oh, here I go again! (Thanks Foolkiller, for bringing this to mind )

I cannot stand people who talk, or do something similar at movies. Talking is of course rude, and if you're not going to watch the movie, why did you pay $9? Did you just want to sit down? "Something similar" refers to people who feel it necessary to voice their reactions to certain parts. I'm not talking about screaming during horror movies, I'm talking about people who vocalize "oh no!", "what are you doing??", "oh my gosh", and other asinine wastes of vocal chord power. I'm not sure people realize that it is possible to sit through an entire movie without opening their mouths (breathing and yawning excepted, although some people also do those things loudly).

Still on movies....CELL PHONES! Every theater has a reminder to turn your cell phone off, yet people don't seem to get it. Is it really that hard to remember that 1)you have a cell phone and 2)maybe you should check to see if the ringer is still on? I'm annoyed by my own cell phone ring (thankfully it's usually in my pocket on "vibrate"). I can't tell you how much I hate other people's phones going off and disturbing me, especially if 1)they have a really annoying ring or ringtone and/or 2)they have the nerve to actually answer it (I've seen it happen).

Ok that reminds me.

Stop singing at concerts. Seriously, I didn't pay $50 bucks to listen to you sing, I actually wanted to hear the professional sing, that's actually why I'm here. You can do the karaoke thing at home, with your CD - which you have obviously memorized. I, on the otherhand, would like to listen to the performance and enjoy good singing.

...and along those lines.

Stop asking the audience to sing at concerts. Seriously, if you're a superstar singer in a band and you're giving a performance, don't, I repeat, don't ask the audience to sing the best part for you. I want to here YOU sing the best part. You don't ask the audience to play the guitar solo for you. Should we all try to whistle or sing the guitar solo - we all know it. I cannot stand when musicians turn the microphone on the crowd and have them do the work. I'm not the one getting paid thousands of dollars for this appearance, why am I doing the singing? What are you doing? Holding the microphone? Is that your big talent?

Graghhh!!! Ticks me off just thinking about it.

 

[cardude2004]

People that just can't shut up! (excuse my English)

 

[CDailey]

People yelling out of anger. I know we all do it, but when I hear someone else do it, it just grates on me to no end.

 

[ceiling_fan]

Defibrillates...

1. Say I'm in an elevator going up to floor 10, and somebody gets on at floor 7. They get in, see that '10' is lit up, and they press it. This happens more often than not.

2. People who pronounce URL as one world, like 'Earl.' Every time my english teacher says that, I nearly burst into flames.

 

[Thirdeye]

Poor, rude drivers annoy me more than anything else.

 

[Loon]

That's mine too. I hate it. That and excessive hateful swearing.

 

[Quiet_Storm]

I can't stand people who tailgate while driving. I even get annoyed when sitting in the passenger seat of my friend's car and he's inches away from the car infront of him. What's the point of following so damn close??? You're not getting to your destination any faster by riding the person's rear bumper! Another thing would be the idiots who drive on the left lane pacing the car on the right lane and doesn't have the common sense to move over to the right lane for the 30 cars that he/she is holding up.

Yep, those are the exact things that bug the hell out of me. Happens every single day to me

One of mine is when walking some were,and a black dude says "What you lookin at?"Before I look at him....

So, What choo lookin at boy?
Couldin't resist.

Another pet peeve is loaning my car to one of the kids and they bring it back full of trash, or smelling like a convention of sweaty soccer players.

Ask me nice and I'll get you some damn gas so you can leave my car alone.

People at work, who page overhead when they know my office extension.
I'm the boss, and I don't let everyone know you have a phone call. Give me the same damn respect.

 

[Papoose]

Heh, Kyle, when I'm with my friends I talk pretty loudly in movies. Not, like, screaming across the crowd-idiot teenager style, but in about a normal voice to my friends sitting next to me. Sorry.

I do put my phone on vibrate, though .

 

[Kylehnat]

Don't worry, I'll just spill my drink so it runs down the floor and soaks your shoes with nastyness. Or at least I'll say it was a drink...

 

[ceiling_fan]

 

[exigeracer]

Two biggest ones for me:

-Toilets where you have to hold down the flusher for a couple seconds before it goes down all the way.

-When I drop my pick into my guitar. I bought 200 of them so I don't have to rattle my guitar around for 5 minutes when one dives in. This means that I don't have to remember any picks when I take the instrument anywhere, because there is regularly 5 or 10 already in there.

 

[ImprezaAddict]

Definitley people who watch me surf the internet. I'm ok with people watching me play a game, but it's different for when I'm reading web pages.

Wow that is like the pet peeve. I hate it.

I also hate it when people just grab my iPod and see what movies/videos I have. Its irritating.

 

[SolidSnake15]

I can't stand too many or too few people.
And I hate 70% of my high schools Junior Varsity football team. Almost ALL of them are jack:censored:. Te other 30% are pretty cool people.

Uh oh, here I go again! (Thanks Foolkiller, for bringing this to mind )

I DESPISE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was at a movie once, and at the quietest part of the movie, I hear one of the Crazy Frog rings. I understand those tones can be amuzing (and incredibly annoying) but do you have to have everybody hear it during a quiet but VERY important part of the movie?(By the way he answered it and had a long loud conversation while getting pelted with popcorn, candy, and eventualy drinks.)


I also hate those people who go to a funny movie and LAUGH AS LOUD AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE WHEN THERE IS NOTHING FUNNY GOING ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This happened when me and my buddy went to see Taledega Knights. We literaly turned around in or seats and said to the three 12 year old kids to "Shut the F:censored:k up dumb:censored:s!!!!!!!!!!!! Pardon my English but this was during the part when Ricky was talking to his father after getting thrown ot of Applebees. After that point there is no funny dialog untill the next scene.

 

[SolidSnake15]

I'm sure some of you would hate me to do this to you!!!

What I do is when I see somebody listening to an Ipod, I'll hold my hand out to signal that I want to see what they are listening too. Then I'll CRANK the volume up very quikly!!! It annoys the living crap out of some people.

 

[Bram Turismo]

I'm such a loose person, it's near impossible to piss me off. However, if there's one thing that gets me irritated, it's this:

Whenever I'm walking with someone and talking about something, or in this case, whenever I'm talking, I hate when someone else comes in between and shouts "Hey! How are you?" to the person I was talking to. The worst part is, is when that person starts to talk with that other person while I was still talking. At least my girlfriend says "Wait a sec...Bram, so what happened?" Bloody hell, I suppose to put it short: I get irritated whenever I cannot finish my sentences...
