I know there is so much misery and hunger in the world, so I should not complain but there are some things which get on my nerves over again For example - when I queue at a cash point in the supermarket I ALWAYS pick the one where the service stops as soon as I queue. The minute I picked it you can bet that someone does not remember his credit card number or the computer strikes or they run out of exchange cash. - when I send an overseas package it ALWAYS weighs 2 or 3 gramms more than the next cheaper category, so I always pay about 4 euros for the 3 gramms - when I am in a hurry I OFTEN DO NOT REALISE THAT i LOCKED THE CAPS AND i ONLY NOTICE AFTER § LINES BECAUSE i KEEP LOOKING AT THE KEYBOARD BEING SO MUCH IN A HURRY -when I have to wait for the always-late tram 5 minutes each day but the only time I am a minute late it's already gone! what are yours? |

you are 'leaning against an open door' here.i think TOG-dom awaits you lol my own pet peeves? where do i start lol 1] opera singers doing the national anthem and trying to shatter every window in the building on the last note.watch the English FA cup final this weekend and you will know exactly what i mean. 2] people in queues in a shop that wait until everything has been scanned and packed before they reach for their cheque book.do it while the cashier is packing morons! 3] the BBC repeating programmes the night after the original broadcast with extended bits in it.either show the programme in its entirity the first time or not at all. worse culprits: graham norton show,have i got news for you,later with Jools Holland. 4] adverts during Formula 1 coverage.guarantee that nothing will happen in the 'race' until ITV goes to an advert break and then EVERYTHING happens while they are off air. 5] people jumping the queue getting on the bus.i had the misfortune of having a couple of scallywags trying this last friday, after a young lass and myself had been waiting for ages for the bus, 2 young herberts tried to jump the queue when the bus arrived.they got a surprise they werent expecting when i grabbed them by their hoods and dragged their arses off the bus and shoved them to the back of the queue. 6] plastic packets:more importantly plastic packets containing a pair of scissors.the only way to open these packets are with a pair of scissors which ironically are inside the plastic packet so you have no chance of opening it. 7] plastic carrier bags: these must be designed by a woman as no man [myself included] can ever open one without dislocating a finger in the process.for the life of me i stand in the fruit and veg part of my local shop for what seems forever trying to open one.worst culprits:costcutters,co-op,somerfield. 8]square tea bags:the cup is round,make the tea bag round...idiots! worse culprit:tesco's 9]local BBC news: if you live in my neck of the woods,local news means PLYMOUTH and TAUNTON.about as much use in Cornwall as a one day bus pass for London and finally 10]bonus discs on DVD's: who in their right mind watches these things? do we really need some numpty telling us how they make the eyes go black in Heroes? its done with CGI,what a surprise.the only thing these discs are good for are as coasters for a good cup of tea,but not with a tesco tea bag right,i think im done for now... rant over lol |

1.) Going to school (the part about hanging out with people is alright) 2.) Reading books for school, 80% are piece of shit. 3.) My grandmother, she lives one floor under. Whenever she calls me on the phone (it always happens that I'm in the middle of something extremely important, m-bating for example) to do something easy, something which wouldn't need to take that long for example set the clock or see what's wrong with the coffee machine it happens that I always get bonus; for example she'll call and say; "dear can you come downstairs and set up the clock?" But after I come she'll say; "since you're here can you help me with removing the furniture, go to the store and buy me a pack of cigarettes, check out the dog, I think she's pregnant, create wine of a water.."...list goes on... 4.) Driving in buses, trams... Whenever when it's crowded someone grabs my ass and It always happens that it's some 50-70 years old man. 5.) Sound of the alarm clock, it's VERY annoying but unfortunately it's the only way for me to wake up for school. 6.) People who don't wash their teeth in the morning... while they're talking to my face I need to hold my breath... Best part is when you ask them do they want a gum they refuse it...wtf??? 7.) Waking me up early on the weekends or holydays is a sin of all sins. 8.) I don't like people who hate religion just as much as I don't like religious fanatics. Same with vegetarians and people who are fighting for animal rights... 9.) Turbo-folk music aka "cajke". 10.) Stupid and disrespectful people, airheads... People who are not informed but like to speak up and criticize things/people although they don't know anything about it/them. Primitive people, people who have views on life based on the stuff that they hear at home or in a bar, none-open-minded people....... There's more but I'm too lazy to type all that down... |

My pet hates Call centres that do “silent” phone calls. They call you, you say "Hello" a few times, then they hang up!! Kitchens Direct are particularly good at this. They always seem to call you while you are enjoying your shower / bath / tea or whatever Till operators who talk for freaking ages to someone while you are standing in a queue from hell. And when they finally get to you, you are rushed through and you have to pack your own stuff as fast as feck. My local Co-op is famous for this. RnB singers who yodel like a demented offspring with a temper problem. Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Whitney Houston are professionals at this. They cant seem to just sing a few notes, they have to go up and down every known scale in the book whilst singing one word. A simple line like “I love you” turns into “I love yoooooooooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”. After just 3 notes, just shut up and get to the next bit. Or better still, just shut up totally. Those unlearned individuals in the UK who use cellphone text style, on a public forum such as this one. Those are the very same people who cant tell the difference between “of” and “have”. For instance, they would use “I would of chosen that one” rather than the correct grammar which is, of course, “I would have chosen that one”. I wont go on about the use of the words “their” and “there” |

When you're on a train, you get to the station, you go to get off the train, the doors open, and those waiting to get on barge their way on without letting passengers get off. This actually annoys me SO much, I will make an effort to bump into them as they get on. |

Strangers who ask me for cigarettes. I don't mind people who have the decency to ask nicely "Hi, I'm really sorry to ask you, but can I buy a cigarette off you? All the shops are closed." This is fine, it's the "Can I nick a fag?" or "Mate can I have a cigarette?" that annoy me, and I always just say "No." What's worse is when they then say "Rude bitch, it's only a cigarette!" Yes, I know! But it's MY cigarette, not yours, get your own you scab. |

I also have a problem with the little plastic bags in the grocery store. I used to feel like everyone was watching me to see how long it took for me to get one open. Ha. I figured out that if you touch a wet vegetable first it is much easier. (I don't want to lick my hands in the grocery store after touching the shopping cart, etc.) World hunger. Very irritating. I am pretty patient in most situations because it is easy for me to daydream while I am waiting. But I don't like meetings or dinners that go on for way too long. And people who rush ahead to get onto buses and planes and elevators also are annoying. Where is this panic coming from, I always wonder. It is not as if they will all be left behind. And people who drive too fast and come up on your bumper like they are playing chicken, or who tailgate to try to get you to go faster, or who cut in and out of lanes with only inches between their car and another car make me angry. They make me feel personally insulted, which is rediculous. I mean, I'll never actually talk to them or have to "deal" with them - other than getting out of their way on the road. So, I don't know why it gets me so riled up. But I hate that feeling, so I talk myself out of it pretty quickly and try to stay calm. |

Beautiful thread! Anger is such an important feeling, I guess. People who manage their anger well have less trouble adpating to different situations and environments, and have more chance to succeed in what they do. My emotions are so derranged and disturbed. Instead of feeling anger, which is positive and a driving force many times, I tend to get sad and cry, which is very destructive. So, raise your voice in anger when you think you should! :-))) |

Awesome idea!! 1) For Jon's whining about the British National anthem, shut up. At least yours is fairly easy to sing since it's all in one key. My national anthem is the hardest one to sing on the planet because of all of the jumps. So my number 1 pet peeve: People who try to sing the US National Anthem and can't do it. Our anthem is hard to sing...if you can't sing it on one key, then DON'T SING IT!! It is not acceptable to change keys halfway through because you can't high the high note on "Rockets red glare". Pick a key where you can sing the note when you get there. If that means you can't get low notes on "Twilights last gleaming" then you aren't supposed to sing the anthem. SO DON'T! 2) Opera singers who sing with too much vibrato. If you sound like there is someone behind you shaking you violently, you are using too much. 3) People in supermarket lines who are too busy talking on their cell phones to pay the cashier. Get off the damn phone...you aren't that important, and if the phone call is that important you shouldn't be at the grocery store in line. 4) Coloratura Sopranos. Just because you can sing at a pitch that will make dogs cry doesn't mean you should. In fact, you shouldn't. Ever. 5) Most college females because they do any of the following (sometimes several things at once): - Insist on holding private conversations on cell phones at a VERY loud volume in public places (like the library) - Wear mini-skirts and insanely high heels around campus. And you wonder why you are late for class...you can't walk properly. - Insist that everything is a crisis. You are no more important than anyone else and neither are your problems. Deal with it. Preferably privately. - Are too busy talking on cell phone or adjusting IPod to drive. You are behind the wheel...pay attention to what you are doing! 6) People who know nothing about a topic but insist on talking about it anyway, like they are an authority on the subject. If you haven't personally experienced it/researched it, shut up. You know nothing, and have little to contribute to conversation. 7) The reputation that precedes me whenever I travel abroad. I look forward to the day when I can travel abroad and not have to be embarrassed/angry about my nationality. Wonderful examples like our President's latest statement in Israel makes me want to bury my head in the sand. 8) My sister, who evidently can't get serious about having my nephew. She's been having contractions 5 minutes apart for 3 days, but she's only dilated to 2 cm...so she's still at home because she is no where near ready to give birth. I know she's aggravated about it too, but it's a pet peeve of mine that my nephew doesn't seem to want to be born. *laugh* |

Girls who decide to wear almost nothing, what ever the weather. If it's boiling hot, fair enough.

Dogs have such a delicate, sensitive hearing. My dog, now deceased but one day I'll tell his story, would cry during the most beautiful arias composed by Mozart, including the gorgeous and famous one by the Queen of the Night in "Magic Flute". I know it because I used to rehearse it when I sang it in the State Theater, and he'd just go nuts. So, I'd do the test and make the poor listen to other singers, and he'd cry all the same, if it were loud enough. I guess opera singers must practice a whole lot more of bel canto if they want to appeal to the dog audience. Hahaha. |

Nope...missed that. I was too busy watching the Red Wings decide that they wanted to push for a game 6 because they obviously want to go back down to Dallas for a game...That's the only explanation I can give to their loss yesterday when they are up 3-2 in the series against Dallas. Got another pet peeve though...my roommate. I cannot WAIT until this guy leaves!! It's like living with a child!! He hasn't cleaned his bathroom since he moved in to the apartment (in August), so you can just imagine how it looks. He goes through milk like crazy and then has the nerve to say "We've almost got it worked out where we are buying every other gallon of milk" to my face, when in reality I'M always the one buying it. He has to come out to "hang out" with me and my friends when I have girlfriends over, and one time when me and my girlfriends were talking about ordering pizza and ignoring him as he sat in a chair on the opposite side of the room had the nerve to say, "I'm assuming I'm in on this too?" The last time he tried to "clean" the shower it involved taking a Lysol wipe and wiping down the tub with it, and then he couldn't understand why I was back on my hands and knees, scrubbing it with actual cleaner. He NEVER takes out the garbage (that's all me), and he doesn't even put his dirty dishes in the sink, even if the sink is empty. He sits them on the counter next to the sink. (and since all he eats is frozen pizza and frozen waffles, the pizza sauce has time to get good and hard or the syrup has time to drip all over the counter and make a sticky mess). He constantly asks if me the dishwasher has been run or not (apparently he doesn't know how to open it up and check, and of course he doesn't know how to run it), and he won't put things in it or put them away when it's clean. He also used to wake me up at the ass crack of dawn on the weekends, just to ask if I had to be up for classes (and he always managed to this on the weekends when I didn't have class!); I don't need an F*ing babysitter at 25...I know my damn schedule and can be trusted to keep to it. Then this morning I'm sleeping...kinda. I hadn't slept well the night before. So no movement at all is coming from my bedroom (which the door is cracked open on because I have the cat in there with me). Now, common sense and courtesy would dictate that when you live in a situation like this, until you actually see the roommate awake, you assume they are sleeping and be quiet. Nope...he decides 9:00 AM is a good time to blast National Public Radio and to call the cat from my room. That's the last straw. I FINALLY decide I'm going to say something to him (because I've kept quiet until now, since I know I'm moving out in less than 2 weeks and he's probably leaving sooner than that) about keeping quiet until he knows I'm awake, and he just looks at me and snaps "It's 10:00 AM. You should be up by now anyway", and then can't quite understand why I'm angry when I snap back, "Look, I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm appreciate it if you'd just keep quiet until you know I'm up. I do the same thing for you...Common courtesy." |

Though, to be fair, Hegel's esthetics has some very interesting insights. I had to wade it through it all to write a paper about a composer who was a bit influenced by Hegel's philosphy of art, so to speak. It'd be boring going into the details. I'm told by a friend who teaches History at a fine University in the U.K - I can't say his name, unfortunatelu - that histoire de la folie à l'âge classique, despite its flaws and the fact is somewhat outdated, still holds water. He went through the footnotes, then he went through some criticisms of the book and made a research project and found much evidence that bears out many of Foucaul't claims. Though he's skeptical about the philosophical spin of the work. The history, he tells me, is sound. I read the book cause I had to present it in a seminary, but, that's all. I've been following some discussions on the books, and they are quite interesting, though. I guess his work, at least this one, was an important one, wasn't it? Regardless of what he did afterwards or whether one disagrees with him. It seems he set out a lot of fine research projects, and the discussions about his work and the researches made either to debunk it or bear it out, helped me have a better picture of this part of history. Some researchers have been arguing that the large internment of sick, mad or poor people that Foucault talks about is overstated and misguided; there are others who say that Foucault actually understated it all and that the confinment had a bigger dimension than Foucault actually thought, and some agree on his conclusions, and the controversial last paragraph, and some don't. And there's the classic Derrida's critique to Foucault's reading of Descartes Discours de la Méthode. lol I find it interesting, though nowadays it's just music, music, and music, and maths and physics too. I want to graduate so badly...lol. Can't stand spending the whole day here anymore. It was helpful, at least to me, but it's just my silly opinion on a topic I had to study but don't know anything about, just a tiny, tiny portion of the huge bibliography on this. I don't think either - Hegel and Foucault - are all that bad. lol They had some interesting writings. [admitedly ignorant on it all, though, just my opinion) |

I hate when trailers for 'comedy' films give the viewer a false impression that the movie is actually funny. The amount of times i've went to cinema disappointed realising that the trailer just crammed in the three or four funniest jokes into a minute advert. |
| john bodega 20.05.2008 12:28 |
I'd like a comedy film that actually had enough funny jokes for a three minute trailer. I can't remember the last time I saw one of those. |
| @ndy38 20.05.2008 13:04 |
You're right, lack of good comedic films these days....think the last one i liked was Superbad. Just as well for South Park, they give me my required dosage of humour! |

I can't stand a lot of things. XD There's one thing that really pisses me off... Bands that put random umlauts in their titles. "Blue Öyster Cult". "Mötorhead". "Mötley Crüe". I don't know the rules of umlaut usage for the few other languages that use umlauts, or variations of umlauts in their alphabets, but I do know how to pronounce a vowel with an umlaut in German... And pronouncing any of those band titles properly, umlaut included... It sounds absolutely ridiculous. Get rid of the fucking umlaut if it's only for show. It looks really stupid. XD |

I'm bored, so I'm bumping this. With a pet hate or two. People who pointlessly ask "Are you in the queue?" when people clearly aren't. Yes, the fact that there are 8 toilets and only one is taken obviously means I'm in the queue. Also, the fact that I'm not stood anywhere near were such a queue would be formed and am, clearly washing my hands means I am definitely in the queue, no doubt. Use your initiative. If I'm stupid enough to queue for toilets with no one in them I obviously deserve to be pushed in front of anyway. Secondly, people who do not understand cheese cutting etiquette. You have to maintain the triangular shape and cut it to a point, therefore everybody has their fair share of rind. People who don't do this or abide by this are rubbish and off my Christmas card list. Thirdly, People who make comments about what other people are eating "Eww, what IS that? How can you eat that?" Well, I can, clearly, so button up. And finally, Celebrities who decide to write children's storybooks. It's like saying "I'm running out of money, I don't have the brain capacity to write a compelling book for adults, but I am a bit simple, therefore, I can write short one syllable word stories that children will enjoy and because I'm a celebrtiy people will buy it." And I'm done, for the moment. |

People with those futuristic things in their ear, so that they can talk on their mobile phone without holding it or something. Usually it has a bright blue light shining out of the front. What is the point? What is so fucking IMPORTANT that you have to wear this stupid fucking cybernetic implant just to use a Goddamn phone? I mean, I like living in "The Future" but some inventions are too pointless to be justified. |

I hate when I crack my neck or something and my friends, etc. say "Oh my God, didn't that hurt?!" If it hurt I wouldn't do it. Idiot. Even more annoying is when people try to give me health lessons on it. "You know that's bad for you, right?" "You know you're wearing away at your ligaments, right?" "You know that causes strokes, right?" "You know people have broken their necks doing that, right?" Asshole, of course I know about the risks. So do fucking smokers. I choose to do it. Leave me alone. XD I don't think it would matter to any of them anyway, if my ligaments decided to unravel like a roll of Christmas ribbon. |

MY PET PEEVES * WORK 1) Homeless customers who literally smell like either stale urine, feces, or both - I can't help but feel sorry for customers who have to stand next to them in line until they get to the front of line 2a) People trying to get free refills on coffee/pop with a cup that they stole from one of the tables, and without a receipt on hand 2b) Certain people who love to argue with me over the policies regarding refills and/or double-cupping coffees, despite the fact they know I'm in the right. Usually mental seniors or very drunk people 3) People asking for way more condiments than they should need (who needs 6+ small mayonnaise packets for one set of medium fries, really??) 4) VERY impatient customers. It pisses me off when you say right away after paying for an order "I'm in a rush, so hurry please". CLEARLY, IF YOU ARE IN A RUSH, MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO ELSEWHERE THAT DOESN'T HAVE A LONG LINE-UP, FUCKTARDS. NOT WORTH MY TIME HAVING TO GET BITCHED AT COS YOU CAN'T MANAGE YOUR OWN TIME PROPERLY. * TRANSIT (CITY BUS) 1) People who chat VERY loud. Usually junior high students. 2) Drunks. Need say no more. 3) People who listen to iPods very loud with an annoying preference for a extremely high treble boost, combined with $1 store earbuds. 4) Bus drivers who arrive and leave (or pass by) bus stops 1-2 minutes early, before they are supposed to arrive per the schedule! * OTHERS / MISC 1) Overly obese/senior women who feel they must dress "sexy", or wear low cut shirts. Three words: DO NOT WANT 2) Extremely rude, uncouth children 3) Having to get up early 4) Treasure Moment 5) People who don't listen to me when I try to tell them how to solve problems or fix things, even when I definitely know they don't know how to do it right ....that's it for now |
