Pet Peeves

[Pieman]

Inspired by the IG Pet Hates thread I'll bring this one for real life pet peeves.

I hate it when you're driving and you stop to let someone out in front of you and they DON'T wave. It's a simple acknowledgement and polite thing to do. When you don't do it you make yourself out to be a d-bag.

Also anyone who says Undeads, yes all of you.

Pet Peeve,

Paying out mileage, they have to go to location (x), so they stop at the nearest office (y)(totally unneccessarily) so they can then say it was from that location (x) to the location they must go (y), collecting crazy amounts of mileage, instead of going straight to (y) then to work, collecting only what they should which is (y) back to (x), not (x) to (y) back to (x).

Pet Peeve 2

When my kids leave the straw wrappers from the juice boxes on the floor, or table..

[HBwillie]

I hate ferrets. They stink like ****, constantly.

[Twinblades713]

When people go out "in" doors or in "out" doors in pretty much any setting that has those. And don't get me started on drivers. Old people piss me off, just in general. Speeding up when I try to pass, going ten f$#% miles under the speed limit. People who break like I'm tailgating them when I'm not, causing me to tailgate them. People who wait until the last minute to change lanes so they can get off a ramp when I got into the lane way before, I don't let them in because it's just a betch thing to do, trying to endanger someone else to get a few cars farther up. >.>

Wacky super-religious people who stand on the street yelling about how homosexuality is evil and we're all going to hell without Jesus either crack me up or piss me off royally.

Customers who come into the store I work at and don't speak a WORD of English also irritate me. I mean, I know it's asking a lot, but people need to THINK about what they are going to do before they do it. Going down to a store where you have no idea the linguistic skills of the workers, beyond the 99% certainty that they'll speak English, without a translator is just stupid.

Dude... I know EXACTLY what you are talking about.

[a-guitarist]

People who compare me to my brother all the time. "Hey, you look chunkier than your brother." "You're brother just graduated from college, and you're doing what, exactly?" "You're brother can remember this stuff easy, why can't you?" "Why can't you do math like your brother?" Well, I can sum it all up like this: I'm not my f*cking brother, deal with it. And as for the physical/mental stuff, it wasn't exactly in my control, so blow off, dick. But the worst? When it's your 90 year old dying grandmother... what do you say? "I dunno, Grandma. I'll work on it. I SAID I'LL WORK ON IT. SHOULD I TURN YOUR TV DOWN? Can I get you another tea?"

And, people who when they see WC and me walking together go, "Oh, wait, I'm seeing double.... there are four of you!" Gee, it wasn't funny the first 50 times we heard it, maybe the 500th might be, you never know. I mean, look at Jerry Seinfeld, that seems to work for him.

When you get done taking a dump, and you go to flush and notice bubbles come up from below the paper. What exactly did I just eat? And, more importantly, why is it still breathing?!

When people call your cell, and you don't answer it. Then, right after the ding comes that you have a missed call, they call right back. Jeebus Christo, what do you think changed within the past second that makes me want to answer the phone now?

Oh, and when people call your cell and leave a voicemail saying, "I'm gonna try your house phone now." Then why leave a voicemail if you're not going to tell me why you called? And don't get me started on text messages. I don't like them, they cost me money. Don't freaking send them. If you're on verison, call me, it's free. The text message costs me 5 cents. Unless you're gonna float me a nickle everytime you do that, don't.

Cell phones in general, I guess.

I think threads like these are really healthy and good to get some sh!t out from festering in the think tanks. I have more. It's a big one.

It pisses me off when people hide behind other people and use it for power. Like, "I'm gonna get you in trouble if you do that", just shut the he// up and either tell them or don't but quick bugging me about it. Or blackmailing. Dang, I'll take whatever you can dish instead of waste my time and energy trying to please your horrible a$$ so you don't "spill the beans". People who don't smile back to me in public. I can't think of one good reason you can't smile back to a guy that obviously is just trying to brighten your day with a smile. Bums annoy me. Unless you're severely retarded, broken, dying or dead, you can get a job. There's ALWAYS something to do if you set your mind to it and begging is the easy way out and you lose your dignity and make other people feel bad. People who don't learn to defend themselves slightly annoy me. I wouldn't like laugh if a guy gets beat up, but cmon, it can't hurt to know how to be safe. Girls that cheat. Guys by extension too I guess. YOU SHOULD ALL BE INFERTILE FOREVER AND NEVER GET LAID AGAIN. You don't deserve children or happiness if you're willing to cheat. I'm sorry if this offends anyone and I suppose I believe in a "changed person" but there some people out there who will just cheat, move on to another person and do it again. >.> Dam...

That felt good. Ranting directed at nobody here is nice.

Bums are not typically bums because they are lazy, it is because most are "crazy." The majority tend to be untreated schizophrenics.

That wiki entry is very good, actually. Sums up the illness very well. Even states that it is different from multiple personality disorder. Confusing those two is a big pet peeve of mine. Thanks "Me Myself and Irene." You f-ed up everyone's view of the disease and used the wrong goddamn name! Idiots! I hate Jim Carry!

[Twinblades713]

I hate Jim Carry!

Take.

That.

Back.

[Dizz]

Twinblade's avatar really annoys me.

[Twinblades713]

Be thankful, it could be blinking...

Sorry Dizz, for my avatar annoying you.

[Dizz]

It's scary, is that from a fish or what?

[corpsestomp]

It's okay, this Jim Carry guy must be someone he works with, because no one would ever say such things about the actor.

[Malchaeius]

Especially since his name is Jim Carrey.

[corpsestomp]

That was the joke.

[Malchaeius]

Was not directing it at you. Merely used your quote.

[Twinblades713]

I excused that lapse in spelling, in respect for one of my favorite actors. I'll cut you people.

Also, the avatar is my eyeball, photoshopped into my mouth. I think there was a thread derailed to perfection explaining the method of creating it.

Actually in the US it's more like a third of the homeless are mentally ill.

Go talk to some bums, if they seem normal continue to talk and have an in depth thoughtful conversation. See what happens. That is all I have to say about that.

The inability of many to do this often also stems from drug/alcohol induced problems too.

[Mudder]

Well, I was more referring to the what they would say. You'd hear some crazy ****. Though the drug/alcohol induced problems are more often than not an attempt to self medicate.

When I was in High School me and my buddies would get bums to buy us beer. We met some crazy dudes. Thinking back, we took some pretty ridiculous risks with these bums.

[BigPapa]

- Skunk Beer is a pet peeve.

- White jelly beans, does anyone like them? Why do they still put them in the packages!

- That my summer clothes arent fitting after this crappy long winter we had and are still having. Suppose to snow in Chicago this Wed... And if your under 35 you don't have a right to say ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!!

This wouldn't be a representative sample. Check a book like The Homeless by Christopher Jencks.

On the other hand there are a lot of homeless people we don't usually see, such as families. Of those we see on the street, the proportion who are mentally ill might be higher.
