Pet Peeves!

This guy is just nasty. He can breathe just fine. The other thing that annoys me greatly is the condition he keeps his feet in. They're all scaly and fungusy and nasty. I kind of gag a little when he goes around barefoot. Wash your goddamn feet already!

People on the forums of a specific game I play who think they are oppressed by the mods there. Just because your thread about how you want to get with one of the female mods or thread about random obceneties got closed does not me you are being oppressed.

[Lace Neil Singer]

I'd go with that. It drives me up the wall when noobs whinge about their spam being deleted or pointless threads being locked. Either suck it up or fuck off and start your own board.

I hate:

*Parfume. I dont know if its just my sense of smell (I like earthly; "dirty" smells) but a bit too much parfume and Ill be chocking, then getting a migrane, then vomiting becouse your burning plastic with added chlorine makes you think your pretty.

*Repeating of oneself. Allright, I get it that you have problems with your shortterm memory, hell I have it too. But when you tell me the same joke you told me 2 minutes ago, and 2 minutes before that, it gets on my nerves.

*Complainers. People who are complaining, for complianing sake. Allright, so your feeling down, you need to vent, I get it. But at least vent for something important (boyfriend left ye, yer out of a house, etc), not that your hairdresser gave you a bad cut. If you want to vent about that, go play a game, I hear SIMS is pretty good.

Just one note on this:

*Repeating of oneself. Allright, I get it that you have problems with your shortterm memory, hell I have it too. But when you tell me the same joke you told me 2 minutes ago, and 2 minutes before that, it gets on my nerves.

I tend to do this; I've been told it's cuz of my Aspergers. I understand that it annoys people when I repeat the same sentence I just said, but I honestly don't realise I'm doing it half the time.

[Boozy]

Aw, hell. I do that too.

But I'm just obnoxious.

Something as of this summer:

People who ask me what I do, after telling them I work for the military, even after I tell them I'm not supposed to talk about what I specifically do. It literally is supposed to be confidential (which is as minor as security clearance is, but still). Then they get annoyed because I won't say what I do.

--Poor grammar. I suffered through English composition classes (even though I'd already picked most of the material up from reading so much), and I do not want to decipher your text speak. Learn how to write and speak, or shut up.

--People who think their time is more valuable than anyone else's.

--Sagging pants. Really, do you know how rediculous you look walking around holding your crotch up?

--Bad parents. I don't know how they expect a toddler to sit quietly while they check their MySpace if they didn't bring something to keep the toddler occupied. And no, pulling out the computer cords is not a good way to keep a kid occupied.

--People who CAN'T READ SIGNS. Why yes, we are closed for a class. The doors are closed, the projecter screen is down, and there is A SIGN ON THE DOOR. And yet you're still asking the obvious.

Phrases that usually include "these days", most notably, "kids these days".

People have said it for as long as kids have been around. The kids of today are no worse than the kids of your day! They're just different! Different is not inherently worse! Societal evolution is inevitable, stop trying to dam (or damn) the young people of today just because you don't understand them.

Argh!

- General attitude of about half of my students. I'm sorry you're having to sit through this random humanities class. I assure you that this will be less painful for you than physics was for me. And, really, stop rolling your eyes at me - I can put down whatever I want for your participation grade, and at this rate it is not going to be very high.

The other half is awesome, though.

- Collegiate red tape. The forms....THE FORMS!!! And, I haven't had to verify my MMR immunization in years. Sheesh.

- Slow pedestrians.

- Long distance guilt trips inflicted by my parents.

People who just have to make things difficult. There's a real easy way to do something, and then there's the much harder which will always make things more problematic... you just have to go the latter... sheesh!

Small examples - most credit cards are written in 4 digit sequences... thus either 2 or 4 digits at a time makes sense... 3 at a time is just asking for problems. Your name, no matter how common, is always going to be difficult to understand if you rattle it off at 300mph on a mobile while driving.

Sopmething hasn't gone the way you want it to, so you just get all huffy and make someone else wrong and decide to bitch about it... instead of just dealing with the situation and working with it (ie - accepting limitations in life!)

Similarly - indecisions. I hate chronically indecisive and uncertain people... who make other people suffer because of it. You've just asked me to do something, but not being sure that I understand, you have to try to re-clarify what you want, even though I've already rephrased exactly what you want, and you've said yes. Now, you want to re-check. And, after I've started, or even completed what you want, you still feel the need to go back over and confirm. Worse when you are asking me something that I am fully qualified or trained in, you need to check my information at least 3 times, as if, stupidly after saying yes to you 3 times already, on the 4th go I'll actually admit to being an idiot and completely negate everything I've just told you and tell you something completely different!

People who come round my flat, tear open the windows and say, "It's so stuffy in here!" -.- No, it's actually effing freezing cold out there; I don't want my flat to end up resembling an icebox, thanks very much. Do that in your own bloody place of residence.

When my driver passes up the last handicapped space and parks three quarters of the lot away from the door, because "others need that spot more than you." The doctor issued me a handicapped tag specifically because I have trouble walking long distances. Yes, I can walk that far, but I'm exhausted afterwards and for the rest of the day. How the hell would you know how much I need that spot versus a hypothetical stranger? Are you wearing this body? Do you know how much it hurts? Grrr.

I hate people who own animals but "can't afford" to take care of them. If you "can't afford" to take your sick dog to the vet and get it fixed up/medicated, maybe you shouldn't own it. Grrrrr.

Every time they've been mentioning the formula poisoning in China lately, the news folks say, "Remember when this killed some dogs?" I'm sorry, but isn't a Chinese baby more important than an American dog?
