Leal posted:Do we have the same cousin? Mine is also 12 and irritating as all loving get out. For example: Playing dumb, or not having basic "problem" solving skills. We were eating out, my uncle gives my cousin his credit card and ID. Cut to an argument with him insisting he doesn't know why his dad gave him those two things and his dad saying "Why else would I give you these things at a restaurant?" that lasts 5 minutes. My aunt is convinced the kid is literally mentally retarded (he's not; he's below average intelligence at worse) and constantly freaks out about how he has no future. Jesus gently caress, woman, the kid has problems but his biggest disability is you. If you give up on him now, it's your fault.  That's a bit more than a pet peeve, though, so here is something a little lighter: My mother's friend has a dog. A Papillon, to be specific. If you don't know that breed, it's a fluffy little yappy idiot-dog, and this particular one is thirteen years old, insecure, neurotic, deaf, stupid, and afraid of everything. He freaks out if you look at him too sternly, and he barks his stupid fluffball head off at anything that isn't his owner and whines constantly when she's not within line of sight. He's cute, though. Irritating as anything, but cute. I love animals but Jesus H. Christ, dog, you test my patience. venus de lmao has a new favorite as of 13:33 on Jul 14, 2013 |

Motherfucking cocksucking team building exercises at work. Managers: All right everyone, we are no longer doing Y, instead we are doing X. Everyone else: Okay, cool. Managers: Now we will discuss why. *twenty minutes later* TEAM BUILDING EXERCISE WITH AWESOME PRIZE AT THE END! Everyone does a 30 minute timed loving 'put stickers in this paper in a certain order' and then each group has to count how many right they got! The awesome prize was one drawn random raffle ticket, prize was to park under the covered parking for a month. OH, and then everyone regathers as a huge group to discuss again why we are doing X and not Y. This is at a Saturday meeting at 8 loving am. It lasted two hours. Guys who put all the contraception needs on the woman. Because they hate condoms, and in a committed relationship and don't want kids, but will never get a vasectomy because NEEDLES NEAR MY BALLS. Oh, and they loving freak at the idea of a pregnancy and insist if 'she does get knocked up, we have a flight of stairs.'

People who ask you for help with something, and then yell at you when you don't read their minds and do it in their often completely batshit and inefficient way to do it. My roommate does this a lot. She'll ask me for help doing the dishes or something to get it done faster- alright, that's fair. So I go to help her and she screams at me because I don't do it to her exact specifications- but she never tells me what she wants done! Jesus christ, woman, I get that you're neurotic as gently caress, but go get some pills or something, jesus.

Unsolicited advice, usually in the form of subtlety bragging about how they did what you're trying to do so much better than you. I'm working on planning a wedding. At this point I wish I hadn't told anyone that I was engaged until all the wedding plans were set in stone because goddamn I'm about to punch everyone in the face. I don't mind bouncing ideas off people and listening to people who've recently gone through the wedding planning process. It's the people who hear the word "wedding" and immediately beeline straight to you and interrupt whatever you were talking about so they can brag about the fact that they only spent $2 on their wedding and their wife wore a curtain she found in a dumpster as her dress and people who spend more than that are chumps. How much I do or do not spend on my wedding is none of your goddamn business. Weddings are a (in theory) once in a lifetime event, it's okay to splurge a bit! It's not like I'm charging admission so why do you care how much I spend? I am literally punching the next person who exclaims "but you're too young!". I'll be 25 when I walk down the aisle. It's not like I'm some dumb teenager running away with their ~*high school sweetheart*~ DEAL WITH IT. I have a bitterly single older coworker who always makes passive aggressive comments about how I'm too young to get married and it's really wearing on my nerves. My life decisions are no one's business but mine (and my fiance's, at this point). If they don't work out it will not affect anyone else in any way, shape or form so get out of my drat business. If you don't approve, keep your mouth shut.

It's the same situation - I didn't run off with a "high school sweetheart" or anything - I lived with this woman for drat near two and a half years, and I decided I wanted to do that for the rest of my life. They can go gently caress themselves if they don't approve. I used to get that a lot from my uber-conservative grandparents, and they said I needed to go out and explore more, but somehow it got to them that I was having sex with her before marriage, and then they REALLY rushed me. The sooner I got married, the sooner I wasn't living in sin, I suppose.

People who hate every song/movie/video game aside from like, 3 or 4 and won't loving shut up about them. Look dude, I like poo poo. I really like almost ever media i listen too, artistic or just silly. Stop trying to tell me to be "cultured" okay? I like artsy poo poo too, I just don't exclusively like it. Another one, loving self proclaimed "random" people. Just shut up, you're obnoxious okay? This one is a little job specific but... lemons. loving lemons. I wash dishes at an Italian place and lemons always get loving everywhere. Ever glass that comes back, lemons. In the sink, on every surface, on the ground in the cutlery bin and in the loving dish trays so that they clog up the dishwasher and I have to reach in and burn my arm digging it out. gently caress lemons. And finally, that loving We R Young song from last year I think. I'm not one of those "modern music :arrgh:" types but I hate that song. It played every couple bloody runs and I just really hate it. I will never like anything that band makes because of that song. gently caress me.

Don't tell me Portal is your favorite game or how much you hate Batman and Robin when you haven't experienced them. Yes, Portal owns and B&R is horrible but YOU SHOULDN'T KNOW THAT. You sit through the lovely movie? Then you can bitch. I've got more, people with greasy hair. You look disgusting. Shower twice a day if you must but don't leave your house like that.

If that's the song I think it is, it's by a band called fun.. Yes, fun., with the period and lowercase. One of the most pretentious band names I've ever seen, and that song is the most over-rated song in years. It's annoying, and it's trying way too hard to make bar hopping sound like some epic event. The band Fun sucks.

The chorus to that song is like the most hair-metal thing in the past 20 years. The first few times I heard it I didn't even realize it was a new song—I thought it was some crap late '80s power ballad I'd forgotten.

I was working in a decent industry, striving towards an even better job, when I got laid off from the job I was working at the time. Now there's nothing else in the area I'm qualified for that pays well, and I can't afford to move, so I just work as a cashier because it's right across the street from me and it pays the bills until something better comes along. Another pet peeve of mine, in order to stay on topic - people who drive through parking lots and act surprised when there is someone walking through it. I walk 500 feet from my front door to the grocery store I work at, and every drat day there's someone who glares at me like I'm walking in the middle of the street or something.

"It is what it is" is the bane of my existence. In general, I hate obvious sayings that serve no purpose, but I hear this one the most. I work in a grocery store, so everybody is always explaining away work related hardships with this awful catchphrase and I always point out how retarded it is. It is what it is?

I don't care if you bought a ticket to stand around with a crowd of people, if the entire event is nothing more than someone spinning records it is NOT A CONCERT. Guys like Skrillex aren't musicians, they're sound effects coordinators. I supposed if I go to a theater and watch Through The Never in a few months I can tell everyone I went to a Metallica concert.

rodbeard posted:What is so bad about not liking country or rap music? I mean both of those genres seem to have an entire culture that goes with them, so it seems like a lot of people wouldn't like those genres of music. The issue is the blanket statement earlier where someone likes everything but rap and country. There's roughly a billion reasons why it's a dumb statement. First being that a person probably doesn't like every non rap/country genre because there's a ton and a lot of them have very small followings, and that's without stretching it further and going with tribal music or something of that ilk. The primary issue is that people usually denounce both genres without listening to anything at all from either genre. Both genres are pretty broad overall. For example if you want to stretch country out, you end up with folk, bluegrass, and southern/country rock which overlaps a lot of people's favorite genre. CCR and Lynyrd Skynyrd are fairly universally popular and I'd hedge to bet a lot of people in question will listen to them (along with Johnny Cash who's closer to the country people think of when they hear the genre). Rap falls under this too. Of course someone making a statement like that probably isn't dividing out the genres into likes and dislikes, however, it is still ignorant as hell and mostly shows that they've already made an opinion on everything in that genre without giving it so much as a listen. I'm not a huge fan of either genre, however, there's specific songs and artists I really like in each genre, not all rap is the stereotype people put on it. E: I realize if a song/album comes out in a genre you don't prefer, obviously you'll probably shy away from it, what I'm trying to get at is ignorantly denouncing an entire very broad genre of music without giving it the slightest thought. As for my pet peeve, I hate when my drat earphones get caught on something, then when I make any small movement, they immediately pop out. I could have been listening to some network revealing that I just won the lottery and that would still ruin my mood. marioinblack has a new favorite as of 15:22 on Jul 15, 2013 |

Just let the guy rest in peace man  . Also, both the irrational love and hatred of dubstep. Just shut up about it.E: Just thought of this.

I also lived in Canada for a few years, and while I loved the people and the country, you got a fair amount of this kind of thing there, especially if you're an American. Oh, sure, they'll laugh their asses off at the American tourists coming to Toronto in June to see polar bears, but suggest there's any winter weather in the US and suddenly Canadians are walrus skin wrapped tundra-dwellers. I'd bitch about the cold in Boston and suddenly I've got some guy who's lived in Victoria all his life telling me I don't know what cold is. Oh, just shut the hell up.

You guys have no idea." That reminds me of people who think that their city has the worst drivers (and use it as a positive thing to show how badass they are). EVERYONE THINKS THAT THEIR CITY HAS THE WORST DRIVERS. They don't. I'm from Boston where this mindset is particularly bad, and it's like a point of pride for some people. I've been to almost every major city in the US by this point, and the only difference I've noticed is that west of the Mississippi there's a lot more space and wider roads so it seems less congested and chaotic. In the Northeast during rush hour the roads get clogged with people doing stupid poo poo and ya it seems a little more crazy but honestly it's all pretty much the same from Boston to Philly to NYC to Pittsburgh to [insert city with 200k+ people here]. Outside of the US I can start to rate i'm-gonna-die-ness by region but here in North America driving is really well regulated and you'll be fine anywhere. So bad drivers aren't my pet peeve as much as "showing off" about [big city x]'s crazy road rules and how it makes those people more tough! It's all the same.

I'm not blaming you for this, I'm blaming a thousand lovely driver's ed classes, but if you set your side-view mirrors properly, you won't have a blindspot. Granted, if you have a large vehicle (SUV, big truck, etc...) you may still have a small blindspot, but on 2-doors, sedans, wagons, etc... it completely eliminates them.

Another one of my pet hates is people who say "I'm not being horrible but..." or "I'm not being racist but..." or anything like this, because it is always 100% of the time followed straight away by the most racist/offensive/bigoted comment. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I have more time for someone that is unapologetically offensive than who tries to pretend like they're not when they clearly are. Just saying something is not offensive or racist before you say it doesn't make it so.
