If I got a SERIOUS response like that it would result in my right hand going forward against his face and then placing both hands behind my back lol


One other thing that annoys me: guys who talk about being with every woman on the planet, yet you've never seen them even talk to a girl in front of you.


I don't know if I need to say this one but people who smoke and then blow the smoke in your face. That will result in the same response as above


This has only happened with one person but it pissed me off enough to list it: This guy wears some $10 button down "dress shirt" with jeans- I on the other hand had on a Van Heusen Dress Shirt with dress slacks and dress shoes (yes its what I always wear lol, I don't own a pair of jeans) and he tells me "me and you dress the same way"

He is the teaching assistant for a class, so I haven't said anything but once I get a grade for the course- he is in for it!

I'm kind of that way where I cannot look into a person's eyes for very long. First I feel that I'm starring & that is rude. But I can't just continue to stare into their eyes as they're talking. I can still listen to them without looking directly at them, but I just CAN'T stare at someone in their eyes for very long. It gets on my nerves. [/b][/quote]When I made this particular "peeve post," I actually considered mentioning the same thing about myself, but I figured it would contradict the whole point of my rant! I have the same trouble with eye contact myself where I can't really look a person straight in the eye, especially for very long. I think my peeve is mainly with people who actually look away from me when I'm talking. My brother and my guy cousin are the main ones who do it, and I'll be telling a story or something, and they'll literally turn around and look a completely different direction. I wouldn't have a problem if they just sort of looked around me, because that's what I often do to people...leading back to the eye contact anxiety, I suppose. It's weird, because it seems I've never been that way until lately. I'm not as shy as I used to be, so I guess I've wanted to develop better social skills by directing my full attention to people when they talk, (since that's what I would appreciate) but I find myself completely tuning out what they're saying because I'm so worried about how long I should keep eye contact, what they're thinking about it, where I could possibly look instead, etc. I'm just happy to hear that some of y'all feel the same way about that. So, what is the BB's hourly charge for therapy, again?

(P.S. The wet feet thing sounds interesting. I think the only way that would bother me is if dirt/sand also got on my feet and stuck to the water...ew.)

Another one pertaining to "driving". Nowhere is the law "pedestrians have the right of way" more taken advantage of as in California. I'm talking about turning on a green arrow, for instance. You know the ones that allow for 2 cars to turn then the light changes. :rolleyes: Pedestrians start crossing and take their sweet old time, and you must wait out another light.

It doesn't matter, they can cross whenever they want, and of course you can't run them down, but it seems no traffic signals apply to them. That also goes for bicycle riders, who for some reason unbelieveable to me, can ride in the traffic lanes. I have to wait, at times, to make that left turn, because there is a guy on a bicycle in front of me, pedaling away making a left turn right with the traffic.

TIS

TIS, I hate that!!! Sometimes I just wanna make it like a video game and see how many I can knock down... 5 points if they're walking, 10 points if they're on a bike, etc. I wish!!

In other countries, YOU have to watch for cars if you wanna cross the street. No driver is gonna be careful and slow down for you. The most they'll do is honk as they speed by. That's a good system, I think we should adopt it.

Not that I hate pedestrians. I walk sometimes too, if I'm going somewhere close, or if you're shopping on a street as opposed to a mall, there's a lot of street-crossing to do, etc. But they just have to be a little more considerate of drivers, is all.

If I could drive i'd be in jail.
1)i hate people who read the books to movies
2)i hate online smartasses
3)i hate stupid people

I have a thing about people jiggling their legs when I'm sitting beside them. Drives me crazy.

As far as the eye thing goes, I agree with Partagas - I try to look into peoples eyes, but not "stare..." although there is one specific girl who's eyes are just so wonderful to gaze in all day long...err...umm...never mind.

Part, I think that's great that you're so talented in this eye business! Seriously, I wish I could figure out whatever trick it is that you use. Maybe you can give us lessons?

The funny thing is, I actually love "eye stuff." While I may not be good with eye contact during conversations, I love how you can catch a quick glance from a stranger or someone...I like that kind of eye contact because it makes you sort of wonder what the other person is thinking...but not in a weird way, just sort of sweet and romantic. Ah, too many chick flicks for me. As some of y'all have said, there are some people who have just beautiful eyes. It's interesting to see people with the unique colors, like hazel or green, but I also love brown eyes. Dark is really mysterious, and light brown just seems sweet to me. (Speaking of guys' eyes...lol But I get jealous of girls who have pretty eyes because I'd like to have their color.) I just got back from an eye appointment, so this is about all I can think about. My eyes are dilated, still, and they gave me about five sets of drops...to dilate, to un-dilate, check the pressure (?), and God knows what else. :rolleyes:

HEY you said the same thing about MY eyes......

I have another one to add.

People who make "all time greatest lists" and then THE WHOLE list is of things 2-3 years old.

That's always me. Sorry. I can't sit still... I always move my leg, so then I cross my legs so I'll stop. But we all know that doesn't help, because then it's even easier to just swing the top leg. I never do a full-on swinging my legs thing (like some airhead or a low-class ditz), it's always a slight movement. But still, it's there. So anyway, good thing you'll probably never be sitting next to me.

HEY you said the same thing about MY eyes...... [/quote]I don't think I've ever seen you in person.

Don't be a playa hater.

I do this and my mom always tells me to stop. It's just something that I have to do. I don't know if I just can't sit still or what, but I need to be moving.

When someone is sitting or standing next to me, and they hit my arm or my leg right before they start to talk!!
It drive me nuts!


Don Cardi

Good one, Don Cardi. I've had people do that to me in a joking manner, so it's not as bad, but I can see how that could get annoying. I seem to remember a character on a TV show that did that. I think it was Friends? I think there was an episode where a guest character kept hitting people when she talked to them...

When a third person butts in on the private conversation between 2 people.

It happened to me back on the 4th of july. I was having a private conversation with one of my cousins, then all of a sudden her step-brothers wife butted her nose in. I just lost it right there. man did I ever unload on her.

Plus anti-gun people

And religious people who try and shove their religious beliefs on me.

I just got another one about 15-20 minutes ago. When you see a car well down the road & you start walking across the street. Then they brake until their tires screech & look at you like your the biggest a**hole!I was there first, you didn't have to speed & then try to stare me down jerk!

I hate when a person takes up more then one seat on the bus. They just sit on the outside seat or plop their bookbag or something on the next seat. They give you a dirty look if you ask them kindly to move over. You should legally be able to shoot at least one person on a bus a week.

Or, in lieu thereof, a crowded college hallway.

A few things:

When you ask someone(friend, date, anyone) where they want to eat or what movie they want to go see and they reply, I dont know, what about you? I think everyone has experienced this.

When you have to keep telling people the same thing over and over again because they seemingly forgot. Either that or they're stupid.

When people make terrible calls in poker and end up lucking out on the river by hitting their inside straight or flush draw.

When people say that if they ever took steroids, they did so unknowingly.

Grr! Yes! I remember trying to go out with an old friend from high school once, and I got this answer repeatedly fuck off! I date girls who are decisive. :p

I can prolly think of a few, seeing as I work in the restaurant business...:

Every now and then, my boss will pull me from the cooking area, and ask me to greet and seat people, as well as help out the bus boys and waiters and waitresses. This leads to some interesting confrontations:

-When two people decide to stop right in front of where I'm walking, and decide to have a f*cking conversation. This happens ALL the time.

-When I cook someone a steak, and they eat all but a bite of it, then send my boss back to tell me it was awful. Gee buddy, you seemed to enjoy it enough to eat the whole f*cking steak.

-When my boss tells me to put a bag of wings down, and then 30 more people tell me to put a bag of wings down, only to find out that they were talking about that same bag my boss told me.

Everyday Pet Peeves
- When my little sister decides to rearrange all my movies. I have obsessive compulsive qualities, and my movies fall under that category. I got em in a specific order. I flip out when I go to grab one, and can't find it.

- When I'm driving down a two way street, and the person I'm behind knows the person driving the car going the opposite way, and they stop in the middle of the f*cking road and start talking. I beep the horn, and they look at me like I'M the asshole.

- When I tell my girlfriend something that someone said, and she asks in all seriousness "Why would they say that?" HOW SHOULD I KNOW?!?!

There's more, but 24 is about to come on. That's another of my obsessions.

Right on man, I HEAR that! I also hate it when someone borrows a DVD of mine and I don't see it again for like 3 weeks. Plus add in the fact that I usually buy at least 1 DVD a week and having to rearrange them with that gap! I have a reputation of borrowing someone's movie and getting back to them in a day or 2. That's what I wish people would respect me in the same way but I can't really say something or I'll look like an a**hole. Although, there's this 1 person that this really happens with and as of late he's been saying "No, I won't have the time, etc." Which makes me happy. I offered and I guess I got to him enough that he's not going to continue to borrow. Literally, he'd just take a DVD without telling anyone or he'd keep them for weeks on end. It doesn't take that long to watch a movie!

It's gotten to the point now where I'll stop just short of giving someone a polygraph test before I let them borrow one of my DVDs. The past few times I've lended one to somebody, it's either come back scratched up to the point where it won't play, or I just won't get it back period. Same with my PS2 games, CDs, etc. People, compact discs have been around since the mid-80s, if you don't know how to take care of them, you don't need to be using 'em. (That's to no one specific, BTW.)

I'm with you on that man. It's all about respect. I hate it went people borrow my DVD's and the cases are all f*cked up. I take GREAT care of my DVD's and I hate it when people don't show me the respect of taking as good of care of them as I did.

With the resurrection of this thread, I thought of a new one. It's not really a pet peeve, but it gets on my nerves.
I love going to Laker games, but I cannot stand the Laker Girls. There are like two or three who are okay, but in general, these girls couldn't dance to save their lives. Okay, that's an exaggeration... but they make it look more like an aerobics video than a dance. Whoever their choreographer is, he/she should be fired. And their synchronization is always off. It's like watching a train wreck happen over and over again. :rolleyes:

ummmmmmmm people don't watch them for their dancing ability
