the official HPOTD pet peeve thread...

[Mike70]

so what irritates/annoys you?

not in any particular order:

standing behind some hillbilly who is buying an assortment of f*cking lottery tickets at a convienience store.

people who try to talk to me in doctors offices/car shop/grocery line, etc.

people on bikes in the road.

people who let their dogs crap in other people's yards - regardless of whether they pick it up or not.

politicians - all of them without exception.

meetings of any kind.

[DubiousComforts]

people on bikes in the road.
But a bike is a vehicle! :D

[Khardis]

police.
sitting next to ghetto people in the movie theater.
people who are more than 15 minutes late.
over-emotive people or people who wear their emotions on their sleeve.
People who think socialist things are good for the economy.
Someone driving less than 70 in the fast lane.
People with hybrids who think they are saving the world and take every chance to look down on you.

[Legion2213]

But a bike is a vehicle! :D

It's illegal to ride a bike on the pavement anyway (in the UK). Then again, when I'm biking it, I go wherever the wind takes me.

Legion2213 - Rebel without a clue. :D

[bassman]

People who talk ridiculously loud into their cell phones while they're in a public place. Almost as if they want your attention so that you think they're cool or important because they are on a cell phone.

People who get something out in the kitchen and don't put it back.

People that get right up on your rear bumper and swurve a bit to let you know you're not going fast enough for their important lives, even while there are passing areas all around.

People that don't use their turn signal.

Those plastic clips on certain dvd cases.



Oh, and the official HPOTD pet peeve thread. It's now made this list because it made me think off all these things I hate....

[Legion2213]

Ooh, those new CD cases with the rounded edges and a different way of opening than normal CD cases....I hate those, they look odd when next to all yer standard CD's and just generally piss me off. >thumbs down<

[capncnut]

- Young twats on scooters zooming up and down my road all night.
- Cabs tooting their horns outside all night - get out of your car and knock you lazy f**kers!
- Buses. "I hate buses!" (sorry Suburbia quote :D)
- Eggers at Halloween - I swear if I ever catch one, I'm going to prison.
- Dog turds on the footpath of my local park.
- My next door neighbour - old c**t has a face like a pirate's flag!


And most of all...

- Sheila's Wheels adverts - ARGGGHHH DIE!!!


Will add more when I think of some. :D

[Legion2213]

This ones for Cap. :cool:

[capncnut]

You git. :D

MODS! REMOVE!!!

[MaximusIncredulous]

Radios played super-loud from cars. Almost always sh*tty hip-hop/rap and makes me wish I had an RPG on hand.
The "Do not attempt" warning on commercials showing idiots doing stupid things, usually for sh*tty fast-food. Let morons attempt whatever outrageous stupidity they see on TV and do us the favor of killing themselves.
Yuppie sitcoms like "Friends". Dumb shows about annoying, self-centered people that are anything but funny.
Cigarette taxes. At least have the decency to admit why cigs are slapped with ever increasing taxes instead of the "we care about people's health" BS.
Conservatism. Steal from the working class to give to the rich. Evil bastards.

[Danny]

This ones for Cap. :cool:

....i hate that ****ing advert.:blood:

[Mike70]

people who are more than 15 minutes late.
over-emotive people or people who wear their emotions on their sleeve.
Someone driving less than 70 in the fast lane.



ugh. 3 that really annoy me that i forgot on my original list.

i think i might qualify the late one a bit - people who are habitually 15 or more mins late.


But a bike is a vehicle! :D

i've always been of the opinion (and i know there are lots of folks who don't agree) that if it can't go the speed limit(with some exceptions), it doesn't belong on the road.

i'll add a few more:

food nazis of all types, esp. militant vegetarians and vegans.
PETA
greenpeace (while i respect what they are trying to do, they are some incredibly self-righteous people).

[Chic Freak]

people on bikes in the road.


over-emotive people or people who wear their emotions on their sleeve.

Also:

* Getting charged for excess baggage by Ryanair while people whose bodymass is like three times mine just stroll/ waddle on through. You should have to stand on the scale along with your bags, you weigh more than me and my bags combined! *bitter*

* The Mighty Boosh.

* Everyone who has ever presented T4.

* Still getting spots when you're in your damn 20s.

* People who aren't aware of their BO and/ or bad breath.

* Poor punctuation.

* Poached eggs that disintegrate in the pan.

* "buffering..."

* People who think that beeping their horn will get them laid.

* Body glitter.

* Craply made synthetic dreadlocks (I used to run a business making them, so I notice!).

* Buses, and my fellow passengers.

* Patronising/ condescending people, especially if I feel that they are condescending to me personally... makes me livid!


I actually have to go to bed now, which is probably a good thing, this is getting a bit out of hand.



Yuppie sitcoms like "Friends". Dumb shows about annoying, self-centered people that are anything but funny.

I'm ashamed to say I enjoy (some) vacuous American sit-coms, especially Sex and the City. Maybe I should start a "guilty pleasures" thread.

[MaximusIncredulous]

I'm ashamed to say I enjoy (some) vacuous American sit-coms, especially Sex and the City. Maybe I should start a "guilty pleasures" thread.

Sex and the City - it's even worse than Friends. If ever a show called for a senseless, gory zombie outbreak it's that one.

[Dillinger]

Cops - The kind that would rather knock your teeth in than maintain the peace. Then you have cops that act more like revenue men by issuing B.S. tickets to everyone just to make the mayor some money.

Feds - The BATF, the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the IRS. The BATF are gun grabbers and whiskey revenuers. 100% unconstitutional. The IRS are another lot of unconstitutional, unamerican vampires. As for the CIA. Any organization willing to spy on, detain and torture people is a corrupt one. Kennedy wanted to dissolve the CIA and they killed him.

Military - The kind that expect a reach-around and a pat on the back because they fought for "OUR" freedom. What kind of crap is that? Thanks, but no thanks. The founding fathers fought for my freedom and I excercize the right to keep and bear arms. So you aren't really necessary. What you are doing is fighting for empire, not freedom. So stop acting like Captain America.

Permanent Yankees - Take the Bush family, for example. They're New England blue bloods from Maine. They're Ivy League educated and they move down south, in this instance, to Texas. They put on cowboy hats and start talking with accents more phony baloney than Madonna's Cockney accent and everyone assumes they're Texans.

EDIT:

I forgot one.

Republicans - The last time we had a republican president this bad half of the country seceded from the union.

[mista_mo]

The fact that I have to wait 2 days and 1 hour until I Can operate my mining barge in Eve online.

I have the damn thing bought, but I need to get my astrogeography to lvl 4, and i've allready sunk 2 days into it, plus a week into getting my industrial to level 5. Jesus Christ.

Oh, and arrogant people- I work with one and I almost threw him through a wall a few times.

Liars and rumour spreaders.

Driods and all manner of automated machines.

Legs, I mean, wheels are more efficient for Gods sake. I'm waiting for the day when it becomes feasible to get your legs surgically replaced with monster truck wheels.

[SRP76]

Oh, this is funny. I think I'll participate.

1. Commercials on television. Ads are to pay for programs, otherwise you'd have to pay to watch tv. Hmmm....we ARE paying for the ****ing tv, yet the ads are still there. Some greedy bastard needs a good beating for this.

2. People with the waistline of their highwaters down around their knees. When I was a kid, this meant you went to the Retard Academy. Now, it means you're King of the High School. When did "geek" become popular?

3. Telephone calls at work. Whatever it is, it can wait until I get home. If you're bleeding, call 9-1-1, not me; wtf am I going to be able to do to help you when I'm 20 miles away?

4. Jackasses that let their dogs run loose across your yard, and refuse to obey the animal control laws even when the dog officer comes out to the house and confronts them. My former next-door neighbors were notorious for this. They wound up minus two dogs.

5. Guys who bathe in about a gallon of "body scent". If you'd take a ****ing shower you dirty bastard, you wouldn't have to mask your funk under a bunch of Axe.

6. Just about any movie that hits the screen over the past 10 years. Everyone can easily figure out why.

7. People who honk their horns at stopped cars at a red light. The light's red, you ****tard; didn't you ever watch Sesame Street, or was it too advanced for you?

8. The urge to piss in the middle of the night. Have to get out of the nice, comfortable bed to trudge to the toilet. Maybe they should invent self-sealing piss attachments for beds....

9. The lowering of quality while at the same time raising price. Just about everything is guilty of this over the past decade. You know that pizza joint down the street that had great food in 1990, but tastes like stale ass now? It's because they're getting ingredients from a catfood cannery in Indochina to save a buck a pie. And they're still charging you 20 bucks apiece.

10. Southern (American) hicks that can't get it through their "hey then there y'all" heads that they LOST the damn civil war. It's time to drop the bitching and whining about all things not deep-fried.

....there are more, but 10 is a nice round number.

[acealive1]

so what irritates/annoys you?

i swearm hillbillies and ghetto people are the worst when they buy tickets from me. they buy a crap load and cant make up their mind bout any of it.

I forgot informercials as an irritant. They practically killed late night TV. Somebody needs more than a beating for that.

wow....my doppleganger on this board. Nicely said!

My pet peeves...

Just to reiterate people who talk loudly on phones or to their friends on public transport because they are showing off. "Look at the conversation I'm having, I'm special"

Driving tests, failing them in particular. Especially stupid rules of the road "mirror before you brake"...Why? So I can be aware that I'm about to be crushed by a lorry that's right up my bottom...if I need to brake, I need to brake so what difference does it make that I know I'm about to be flattened by the guy behind me??!

Friends who have no faith in me or other people and use any opportunity to pick holes in people and use them for fuel. ****s.

Avid systems

Adobe After Effects costing £1000s.

People who ask you to proof read things then don't accept criticisms.

Anti-smoking laws

Labour government and it's dying whorish legislation

humanity in general

[MikePizzoff]

-People who chew food with their mouth open.

-Yuppies.

-When people casually throw around racial slurs and say "I'm not racists, it's just a word" and don't understand why it upsets others.

-When people use the word "whatchamacallit" in serious conversation.

-When people scream the term "WAHHH!" at you, like a baby, because their minds are too feeble to think up a decent retort. Usually when you inform them of their incapacity to iterate a proper response, they'll just "WAHHH!" you again further proving your theory of their idiocy.

I have more but it's so early and I "can't be arsed" to think of them.

Ugh! Me too! It's televised discrimination ... seriously, that's exactly what it is!

* The Labour Party
* The Liberal Democrats (at their fence-sitting, odds-shouting, Labour-nuzzling heights)

* The lads next door who have a MORRIS MINOR as their first car, which has a useless exhaust which muzzles NOTHING. They insist on charging past our house going in and out of the cul-de-sac, and everything shakes.
* The wanker in another equally loud car who was tearing around at 7am t'other morning.
* The little kid who insessantly kept whining "bye, bye, bye" t'other morning as I was trying to get back to sleep, after than bastard car woke me up!
* Birds that insist on sitting outside my window, chirping monotonously in the exact same mannor over and over and over again, so it's really loud - I have to get up, shake my window, and they piss off ... but argh!

* BMW drivers - got cut up by one today, and saw THREE 1 series BMW's out and about - what MORON buys a BMW 1 series?! They're USELESS.
* BMW "M" drivers - cocks. (Although according to Top Gear, they're all moving over to Audi RS' now :rolleyes:)

* Date Movie/Epic Movie/Meet the Spartans/Superhero Movie/Disaster Movie - and EVERYBODY INVOLVED IN THEM FROM START TO FINISH.

* Constant remakes and Hollywood's current general lack of originality and balls.

* The projectionist from when I went to see Diary of the Dead, who f*cked off right in the middle and left the image 'knocked down' the screen thus cutting off the bottom third - DO YOUR BLOODY JOB!

* People who drive at 40mph in a 60 zone, and then proceed to drive through a 30 zone at the same 40mph - BASTARDS.

* People who only drive at 40mph - F*CK OFF!

* Spiders, flies, basically all insects.

* Getting annoying songs stuck in my head, especially from adverts (most of which are advertising a super market).

...

There's much more no doubt, heck, I could write an essay just on the Labour Party and all it's done, but I'll spare the people who are that way politically inclined...but I've ran out of steam for the moment.

* Oh - those DVD cases that have those stupid bloody locking tabs on the side of them (like on the R1 dvds of Land of the Dead and Jackass 2, for instance) - NO F*CKING NEED!

* Also - cardboard outer cases for DVDs - NO NEED if it's just a normal case on the inside, ESPECIALLY if the art work is NO different - WASTE!

Can't say I disagree with a single, solitary point that you've made MZ. Only thing I want to say is screw you for being a motorist whilst poor little idiots like me fail their ****ing test! :p :)

I'd also like to make a point on annoying advert songs....especially ads that use music from the 1920s or something ("I wanna marry a lighthouse keeper..." - and who remembers this one from last Christmas "put it together and what have you got? bippity boppity boo"...****ing hell. These ad people, the musicians who created the music and anyone who buys the products as a result deserves death, a long arduous, painful death.)

Also...the Dolmio ad with the puppet italian family....sure it's innocent on the outside but put puppet arabic people in there for middle eastern cuisine and you'd have a ****ing lawsuit on your hands.

Bill Hicks said it best: Child worship..."save the children, won't someone think of the children blah blah" - "You either love people of all ages or you shut the **** up"

Thanks Bill.

[MinionZombie]

Ah mate, BOTH those ads you mentioned drove me nuts!


Only thing I want to say is screw you for being a motorist whilst poor little idiots like me fail their ****ing test!

Hey! I had to take my test twice, you know. :p It was years ago now, but I still had to take it twice - which reminds me:

* The bastard who examined me on my first driving test. Absolute C*NT.

The bloke who examined me on my second test is an absolute saint. :)

And before anyone says it, I'm a good driver - heck, I did a mock test the week before my first official test, and I passed it 100%.

It was just that sweaty, greasy-smelling Welsh twat (no offence to Wales or the Welsh, they're nice people, and it's a nice country) on my first test who did a number on me, the git...right miserable sh*t he was, totally wrecked my confidence entirely ... I was absolutely gutted.

Then I passed second time with a mere 3 minors, and haven't looked back since (unless I came across that first guy again, then I'd turn back, flip him the bird, throw a brick in his direction, and tell him to f*ck off :lol:).

Symph - I hope you pass your test soon, cos it's nerve-wracking until you do, but I'm sure you will. :)

Oh geez, I HATE that too. It's all marketted towards guilt-laden upper-middle-class champagne socialist odds-shouting chatterers.

The actual greens are already there mulching their used toilet paper and making new bum-wipes out of bark and riding on their ethnocentrically-diverse peace-bicycle. :lol:

As for me, I'm all about not wasting. That's what I go about doing (or rather not doing ... as in I don't go around wasting stuff, be it products or energy).

Where was I?

Oh yeah, champagne socialists ... ugh ... can't be doing with them and their guilt which can be bought off by saying your plane ticket bought two and a half trees for the rain forrest. :rolleyes::lol:

That said, I'm all for trees ... just not champagne socialists. :D

put me on hold grrrrrr

OK my pet peeve is now driving...it cancels out all my other pet peeves.

I hate it! I passed my test like a month ago and have been driving ever since. I hate the road systems, I hate people on the roads...I hate that "whooaaaaa" moment you get when a huge lorry veers around a cyclist just before getting to bollards and is likr half an inch from wiping you out. I hate motorways and people who undertake. I hate "variable speed limits" and "average speed checks" making my paranoid. I ****ing HATE MULTI LANE ROUNDABOUTS. I hate A roads, I hate people's fast cars, I hate people's slow driving. I hate old people on the road and I hate making stupid decisions with my lack of confidence. I hate my stereo in the car, I hate how the ****ing windscreen gets all misty. I hate parking.

Ahhhh ... welcome to the world of driving, my friend. :D

I had a good spell for a few years where I was the shouty one behind the wheel, but then I ultimately petered out on that ... mind you, I don't really drive on motorways much, and don't sit in commuter traffic, so that's probably the reason.

That said, I still bark the odd unheard order at fellow motorists whose driving quite simply isn't on par with my sheer brilliance. :p:D

I always have the stereo going, I make mix CDs, a new one every couple of months or so, it really helps the journeys along you know. Plus I can distract myself from my road grumpiness with some awesome tracks ... or indeed, when coming home in the middle of the night with no other cars on the road, get some spooky music going for a super cool effect. :cool:

[SymphonicX]

trouble with my stereo is, it's too quiet, so have to bump it up loud to drown out the engine - then I get into a sticky situation and the first thing I do is turn it off because I can't concentrate properly, then I get annoyed at that and leave it off in case I get into more hairy places.

And believe me, I don't like hairy places!

Did I also mention that I have to park under trees near a park and now my ****ing car is covered in bird ****?

Last time a bird shat on my car, I completely refused to take her out again!!

[MinionZombie]

Last time a bird shat on my car, I completely refused to take her out again!!

Ha! There's totally a niche porn site in that somewhere. :lol:

[clanglee]

I think part of the problem is the age at which you are learning. Here in the states, driving being such an important part of our lifestyle, Most kids get their licences at 16, and learner's permits at 15. We learn early when it is yes, still scary, but more exciting than scary really. There might be some in very large urban areas that differ on this because of public transport, but MOST driver's in the U.S. learn very early.



And believe me, I don't like hairy places!

Surely there must be some that you like!!!
