Pet Peeves

[femmenoire]

We all have em. Some stem from early childhood experiences.

And now with the way technology is going, we even have more advanced annoyances.

What are yours?

Mine are, and its alot mind you:

Drivers on the highway that stay in the left lane. Every state says "slower traffic moves to the right". Is no one paying that any mind?

People who offer personal items without cleaning it. Like offering me your drink with your straw or food with your spoon. I don't work like that. I once had someone offer me their headset to talk to the person they were on the phone with and I swear I almost puked. Or worse women who ask to use your lip gloss/stick. WTF?

People who don't get netiquette. You should know by now that typing in caps means you're yelling and it's considered rude. You should know by now what LOL means. I was on another board and someone asked what "Bump!" meant. I mean really.

People who don't know what personal space is. Or like the famous Seinfeld episode once portrayed, "close talkers". There should be a minimum of 5" between me and and another person. My own momma and poppa don't get that close.

People who make random comments about a group of people. "Don't all Indian people eat curry?" Don't all black people listen to rap music?" Don't all women shop? Don't all kids throw tantrums? etc., etc. This shit makes me want to be violent and I'm a non violent individual.


The use of the non-word "conversate". I would think by now most people would know this is not a word.

People who think that because I'm online, I may not be otherwise engaged in a conversation. I mean, when someone calls me, they ask "Are you busy?". But no one asks you this if you're online and you're probably more busy being on the PC then being on the phone!

Going on first dates with a dude and he all he talks about is sex and what he wants to do with you. What is it, that he can't wait? Especially if you don't initiate the conversation at all. No I do not want to watch you jack off in the parking lot. It's a first date for god's sake.

Ill-mannered children. Kids are kidnapped all the time but for some reason, parents out there are still letting them run around and roaming free in malls without a watchful eye. WTH is going on here?

Salespeople that think you don't know what the fuck you're talking about and worse, when you find out you actually know more than they do.


Ok, I told you I had a long list. You name yours!

 

[ladyscorpio]

The kids thing is huge for me. That stuff ticks me off. I've seen people leave their kids with associates like they are babysitters. I mean WTH is that?


People that have dogs and don't scoop up after them kids play in the park too.

Drivers that don't signal, don't respect the space behind you, the ones who think driving 20 in a 60 is kool yeah i get a little road rage...don't judge me am working on it...lol no really I am

And people learn how to shake a persons' hand. That clammy flimsy handshake right then and there turns my brain right off. I have begun to tune you out. Sorry a business thing. Firm grip people shows confidence even if you don't know anything.

As a person who is a germophobe I have a huge peeve with the non hand washers. Cleanliness is just too simple.
Smokers can you get a mint or something after if you know you gonna have to deal with your peers. I have had to deal with using a phone and all I could smell was cigarette.

 

[femmenoire]

People who walk their dogs without a leash and I used to be guilty of it myself when I had a pitbull. But now I know why everyone was so pissed at me!

People who don't try new things and got the nerve to make dumb ass comments. I rent a room to a guy and he told me yesterday he tried some of this pasta I made. It was basically curried fish on top of wheat pasta. Anywho, he said "Oh it was so good". I was like "Oh the curry?" And he said "Oh that was curry? I don't like curry. How come it didn't smell?"

I wanted to put my foot through his mouth.

 

[DigitalAngel2007]

I hate those chain letters I get every day as a text on my cell and in my email. Each one telling me I have to send it to 15 more people or something terrible will happen.

 

[bigirl]

lack of consideration for others and/or behaving as if nobody else lives in the world for you like a skinny little couple holding hands stretched out so they block the whole sidewalk and nobody can pass or the baby stroller nazis having a convention blocking the whole entrance to the bodega and then they have the nerve to give you dirty looks for wanting to get in the damn store. also having loud outdoor parties/gatherings until 4 or 5 am and then when your neighbor kindly asks you to tone it down a bit at 3:30 telling them "STFU cunt"

rudeness. say good morning dammit it wont kill you. if someone holds a door for you say thank you for fucks sake

stupid white liberal stickers like mean people suck and visualize whirled peas. these make me feel very angry and violent and full of hatred.

white girls who are dating a black guy and are all of a sudden now an "expert" on black culture/history and have the idiocy and audacity to try to get in a pissing match about it. these are the same dashiki and braid wearing morons.

people being too damn curious and stupid about mixed people treating us like we are a specimen in a zoo or something. the worst is the white woman with the mixed child who says something like "oh are you really mixed cause my son is and hes darker than you" or some other moronic statement. the very worst is "where did you get that amazing tan?" If I hit someone every time I heard that I would be serving a life sentence

white women with mixed kids that have them running around looking like buckwheat

Deadheads/Phish heads. Bathe yourself. Patchouli oil is not a substitute for a shower. The matts of hair you have are NOT locks. You can never get locks and don't ask me how I do mine. your potato sack ugly patchwork clothes make my want to vomit all over them and please don't dance in front of me. Don't play that music around me neither.

Incompetancy and stupidity especially from employees. Either do your job or don't work there. The worst is when you are the only customer and have to wait 15 minutes til she done talking to one of her friends on the phone. If you can't drive and don't know your way around don't drive a fucking taxi. If you can't speak english don't get a job where you have to deal with the public.

poor service in restaurants especially when they hold you hostage at the end and wont bring the check. If it takes too long i will get up and leave. If they see me, fine, if not, even more fine.

"know it alls" who actually know nothing.

people who need to follow every single little trend no matter who stupid or ugly

UGG boots. you look like fucking chewbaca

white people trying to speak so called ebonics or "jafakean"

misbehaving screaming children in stores or offices. if you can't get your child to behave then leave them the fuck home dammit.

eating smelly food on the train.

picking your nose in public

poor table manners

corny pick up lines like "can i get some fries with that shake"

gentrification

small mindedness

 

[femmenoire]

People who honk their horns only seconds after the red light has changed to green.

Mothers who put weaves and braids in 5 year old girl's hair.

People who hit you up on IM after a year of not speaking and then say things like "What's up?" Um, who the fuck are you?

And this may sound bad but fuck it. I can't stand people with corded headsets for their cell phone, especially when they are holding it to their mouths. That ain't "handsfree"! A fucking bluetooh headset costs less than 20 bucks now. Invest in one and you can actually free both hands!

 

[Izayoi]

Others:
* People that beat and humiliate their children in public (is it really necessary right there in the Home Depot parking lot?)
* People that are habitually indecisive.
* People that are passive aggressive. I really really have a problem with that.
* People that complain about everything
* Bitter people that want to spread their joyless existence to any and everything around them
* People that litter Triflin!

Self- I'm going to do my self for balance because I'm trying to stop focusing on other people's bullshit. I got my own.

* I leave the caps off everything! I'm really bad at this- pens, markers, shampoo. If its not a flip cap I'm in trouble

* If its not work related, I'm going to be 5-10 minutes late guaranteed. I think its really tacky and rude of me.

* I have too many interests and consequently too many projects personal and otherwise. Focus, focus, focus

* I have too many books, beads, pieces of fabric, and paintings. Basically, I need to stop hoarding shit, even its good shit its still extra shit and I need to let it go.

* I procrastinate.

Yeah me too! I do some dumb shit that gets on my nerves my main one would be I'm clumsy as hell.

I clean all day all the while bitchin at my boyfriend and his kids not to spill or drop anything on the carpet. Each time I eat or drink something I always end up spilling it it never fails. Then I can't even bitch because I did it.

[Adam Knows]

ignorant language - i can't stand listening to people say thing like dis hurr

women cussing - biggest turnoff next to asking for something.

people with bad dirty kids with snot all on their face - those 3 go hand in hand

seeing people dressed better then their kids - you wearing babyphat, there wearing old ass baby crap.

forum flooders

people who lack common sense

people who cant comprehend fact

old women that can't drive that fuckin pisses me off and i get road rage bad.....

 

[shanebp1978]

Well, the first one that jumps to mind is, women who spend the night, and use your toothpaste, and DON'T WIPE THE CAP.

Just paste hanging off it.

I don't get that.

It erks me.

 

[APOPHIS]

[Rythm]

CUSTOMER SERVICE PHONE REPS

Different reps from the same company will give conflicting information

You can go through a number of reps untill you get that "one" extremely helpful rep.
Reps that have a thick accent or can't speak proper english so you have to have them repeat constantly

 

[Cleopatra_J]

Bad Grammar. I hate when people give me things to read and they switch verb tenses. Ugh, or they use the wrong to, too or two. You should also know the difference between you're and your.

At my job, students try to get greedy. You received a refund check, and now you want additional funding to buy a new computer? What the heck did you with your refund check. That's what the hell you should use it on, not the newest Jordans. You're in college, figure it out!

Dirty dishwater. My roommate is guilty of this. He will empty a pot out, then put water in it and put it on the stove. Why the hell didn't you wash it. Dish water stinks! It smells, I don't want to walk in the house and it smells.

Bad Drivers. Don't cut me off, then get in front and drive slow as heck. How about you just don't cut me off!

People who have a sense of entitlement. My little cousin thinks I should just buy him this hundred dollar jacket. All I said to do was call me sometimes, do good in school, and try to get a job. You're 17. He never called me, and he dropped out to go to night school. And you want what? Get the hell outta here!!!

Overly ghetto nails. I hate when you have six different colors on you're nails. Keep it simple.

People who talk to me during my shows... Can you wait until the commercial or until I speak to you, or something? I mean, you do see me focused, and I keep turning up the TV to drown you out.


Ok, that was a lot, and there probably is more.

[MartinAsante]

Ignorance. Just ignorance.

Women that look down on me because I have a degree. (You think you bourgeois?)

Loud talking women

Men with crust in their eyes/around their mouth

People who don't respect my authority on the road, I'm speeding son.

Fast-food reps(Young Black women, I'm talking to you) who get mad if you have special shit with your order. Like I'll go to Sonic every morning. The same Sonic and get a big Route 44 drink. Now I change it up, but I always want lite ice because Sonic has crushed ice and it packs better so you get less drink.

People that keep opening the BBQ pit when you're queing.

People that come and visit you and bring a load of clothes because you got the "good" washer and they don't want to go to a laundromat.

Cleaners that overstarch and you gotta fight to get your leg in the pants.

Black women with White men(I'm sorry)

Black women who say there are no good men.

Black men that tell stupid ass unbelievable stories. I had a dude tell me he used to fuck Alicia Keys mother. Now ok, that might be believable, but he told me her name was Barbara Keys and he was in Indiana. Now, I know that a) Alicia Keys is from New York, b) Her name isn't even Alicia Keys, and c) her mother isn't even named Barbara. He might've been fucking Barbara Keys, but that wasn't Alicia's mother.

People who love their cars like a woman.

Escalade kits on a Chevy or Ford

Women who try to give bad head to discourage you from wanting it. Uh-uh, your jaw gone hurt cause I'm not stopping.

People who try to fix you up with their very obviously unattractive daughter.

Beggin niggas

Where do you live, the Amazonian jungle?

 

[Candee Coated]

people that don't follow the "always keep right" rule

I'm moving to the right, she's moving to the right. I'm moving to the left, and she's moving to the left.

Nope. I'm going to keep my ass right here on the right side until you get a clue.

 

[Candee Coated]

Word. If you're driving in a neighborhood and there's a car parked in the street on YOUR side of the road...you have to yield to the person whose side isn't obstructed...you can't just drive on their side and expect them to back off like you have the right of way

oh one more...

guys that want to invite you to their "crib" for a first date

Yeah right..."let's just stay in and watch movies"

Girl I can't stand that or guys who say they want to just "kick it".

Oh and anybody that calls me "boo, ma, mama, mamacity, mami".

 

[SinaminDelite]

Femme, you brought me back; that throat scratching thing drives me batty!!!! I also hate that "why don't we chill at my place" bullshit and being called "ma".
I also can't stand:
* people who drench the bath rug after taking a shower
* dishes left in the sink for HOURS
* women who spit
* people with no consideration for others (if you wanted to be on the treadmill for 2 hours, you shouldn't have come during the evening rush)
* kids who are rude and disrespectful
* toothpaste gunk left on the cap. How did it get there? Gross
* people who always ask for a "hook up" or a discount. Yes I work there; no I will not give you shit for free, stop asking.
* indecisive people
* people who send out e-mails rife with errors. ALL e-mail services provide spell-check; make friends with it
* people who type in all caps
* people who tYp3 lYk3 tHiSs
* men who flirt with other women in front of their lady, or any other lady they're with, or their kids
* men who don't hold doors, know how to use eating utensils, or walk on the outside of the street
* people who hear you coming for the elevator and still close it on you
* people who hold train doors open. There's one right behind this one!

 

[DarkCity]

People that ask "Do/Did You Miss Me?"

People that try to lean over and look at my monitor at work

When a group of people go out and either ask for separate checks or spend time going line for line with each purchase - we're all adults somebody pick up the damn check and everybody just throw that person a couple dollars

People that constantly seek approval from others

New females that make themselves a little too comfortable in your home. - Please Leave

People that ask to borrow money and then duck you because they haven't paid you back yet. - Just tell me what your situation is I'll understand.

Mouth Breathers

Overly Dramatic people - Grow Up

 

[SinaminDelite]

^^^^ I forgot about mouth breathers. That shit is so annoying, especially over the phone. People don't realize that doing that can give them halitosis as well. Gross.

 

[mcguyver]

Women who is always in your plate (lemme taste that how that taste).

The drivers in the left lane (like femme mentioned).

Women that talk about money all the time and lives by it.

People who lie.

people that piggy back on other peoples' opinions.

No excuse.

I also hate people who take a drink and smack their lips and go . . . " AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH "

Roommates that eat food that they didn't buy, or doesn't cook enough of said food for everybody else.

People that get personally offended when I say "hella" or "irregardless".

Girlfriends that don't let go of their ex.

People that chew with their mouth open.

Not knowing what the fuck an inside voice is.

People that always have to be right.

Using words wrong.
