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!

[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! 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.

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<

- 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 ) - 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.

This ones for Cap.

This ones for Cap. You git. 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.

This ones for Cap. ....i hate that ****ing advert.

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! 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).

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. 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.

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.
