PET PEEVES

“AKA Necter of the gods...”

“when you ask somebody to name their favorite ... they say "gee, so many to choose from, each one is like a special little snowflake, each one special in its own special and unique way. i wuv them all"

:-)”

“Snowflakes have feelings too.”

“Reminds me of a Mr. Rogers video clip I just saw.

“the fact that i have dial-up and probably wont be able to see that clip!

aargh! stupd dagnabit dial-up”

“Dude, can't you get dsl for $12.99 like the rest of the world? (AT&T) I suppose it wouldn't be worth your while since you're going to Canada soon.”

“Crash Bang's coming to Canada?”

“yes, im going to the esl school in london”

“Why is dial up so cheap out there?”

“Can phrases qualify as "pet peeves"?

"Vanishing Without a Trace"”

“Absolutely!

Here are some other folks who think like us:

“LOL! How about "literally" when one should say "actually" or "figuratively"? That really drives me nuts!”

“The myth that Republicans are a persecuted minority whos values are constantly under attack and anybody who diasagrees with them are an enemy of the state and should be prosecuted for those beleifs, which basically means their way or the highway absolutists. Dissent, is the highest form of patriotism. Oh, and politics on a backpacking message board...”

“The myth that Democrats are a persecuted minority whos values are constantly under attack and anybody who diasagrees with them are an enemy of the state and should be prosecuted for those beleifs, which basically means their way or the highway absolutists. Dissent, is the highest form of patriotism. Oh, and politics on a backpacking message board...”

“Red State/Blue State.”

“lol, too funny, too true”

“When you take your car in to have it looked at, no one asks you "Can I help you?" When you are at Home Depot, looking straight up at the tallest shelf or throwing everything off a lower shelf to get way in the back to see if it just might be hidden, no one asks "Can I help you?"

But I will be damned if you don't go to the furniture store, and EVERYTIME, you get one foot in the door and not just one but TWO salespeople right there...eyes just popping out at you and they both ask at the same time, "May I help you?" I ALWAYS say, no thank you, I haven't even walked in yet. I would really like to have a look around at what I might like to purchase for MY home, the RIGHT colors that I like, MY taste, and since you have these wonderful HUGE signs that tell you what furniture is where, and for what rooms, I should have no problem. But thank you." Then I go find what I want, find the salesperson who is sitting down, doing nothing, and say "Hey, you wanna take my order?" Always some young punk, too.

So walking into furniture stores is my biggest pet peeve. How in the hell can they help you find something when they don't know you and have never been to your house? Just kills me.”

“...when you take a red-eye flight; they turn all the lights down so people can sleep; but you get stuck sitting next to two guys (one of whom is about 400 pounds) who decide to play some stupid video game and talk and laugh, etc. for half the flight!!”

“That'd be justifiable homicide ----”

“listing "having fun" as a hobby/interest in a personal profile

its not a hobby, you moron! collecting heads, hunting baby seals, making lampshades out of human skin, those are all hobbies! "having fun" is just a state of mind. everyone likes having fun, or else it wouldnt be fun! not everyone knows how to have fun, but those who do, like it.

lametards”

“same goes for "hanging out with friends". if you list "hanging out with friends" as a hobby, you are officially the most boring person on earth”

“what if i like hanging out with people that do not like to have fun?”

“thats impossible. see first post”

“i like to have a bad time by myself”

“"The Persuit of Happiness" is our goddam marching orders from the Framers of the Constitution, b'Garsh!!!

You some kinda Commie Bastage??


The light turned green 5 minutes ago -- Move It Lard-ass!”

“but I am so boring that I do not even like hanging out with myself”

“I once saw a resume where the candidate listed "sleeping" as a hobby. I didn't interview her.”

“maybe she meant to say "sleeping with my boss"...you missed out on a potentially good employee there”

“Ah... 'sleeping' as a euphemism... It reminds me of.... Mayberry or something, < VBG >”

“I watched a local padgeant where about half of the contestants said their hobbies were "talking on the phone"...Now that takes some real talent. I never knew talking was a hobby.

“Future Customer Service Reps ---”

“people online who tell other people online that they need to get a life”

“That 'get a life' thing was kinda funny the first couple of times, back in the 5os.”

“Self serving people who think they have a right to tell private companies and corporations how they should run their businesses.

OMG! I just realized I hate unions!”

“husbands who steal money”

“freaking hidden tracks on cd's. the first time, i guess it was sorta clever

“HEY! HEY! HEY!”

“Fake southern accents in movies.”

“fake backpackers on backpacking boards”

“meanies”

“weenies”

“peenies”

“Wow crash. What lovely peonies you have there.”

“Peonies (sp?) are pretty. They remind me of my grandmother may she rest in peace. I planted some in my yard in my grandmother's memory.”
