Pet Peeves

[inlerf]

i'm really peeved when bisexual (or bicurious) girls, from what i've read in livejournals, who has boyfriends, go like, they wanna get another girl cause "it feels like something's missing in my life". the thing is simultaneously when they're attached to another. it gives me the gist that she just wants an excuse, a justification to cheat. i mean, really, imo bisexuality is like homosexuality/heterosexuality/whateversexuality in that it's just what sex/gender you're interested in, inclusive of the personality and whatnot, and hence, for crap's sake, it doesn't mean being bi gives you the excuse to cheat!! that's based on the assumption both are in an exclusive r/s (which is normally based on the assumption that the other person in the r/s knows it too... funny generally people don't voice that out).

Onions. They stink. Nuff said.

Today's pet peeve is my inability to say no when asked to do something. I am doing front of house and administration for a friend's charity play on Saturday - I am also Props Girl and will be at the theatre all day. I am putting translated legal documents into some sort of order (by Sunday morning). I am organising a trip to a conference for 16 at Easter (and we are a person and £250 short). I have worked 16 hour days every day this week.

All because someone or other sidled up and said "could you possibly...?".

One day I will go mad, and run round the office with a pen up each nostril shouting "No, I bloody well won't!" at the top of my lungs. That would teach 'em...

Pet peeve for the day...

When people don't read carefully and simply miss the point.

I reaaaaaaaaally second that one, Car.

My latest pet peeve is all the freakin celebrity reality shows. I just saw a commercial for something like Cooking With the Stars. Please, enough is enough. Who gives a rats ass if one cooks better than the other. Leave that to Wolfgang Puck or Emmeril.

Cooking with the stars? What's the point of cooking if they don't eat? Simply looking at the pretty food won't make for good TV.

Ooops, serious attack of sarcasm!

[oneyedchicklet]

Maybe Mary Kate Olsen and Nicole Richie can get together and share an M&M or something.

Waiters who take your order and never bring silverware, chips, drinks, or your food...

[Candleshoe]

Mine's the opposite problem, JustSkipIt!

I eat in a particular restaurant a fair bit (it's next to the cinema, my second home). My order is always taken, and my food, drinks and other accoutrements brought in a very timely manner. The bill is even brought when I ask for it, but I can never get them to take my money!

Seriously, I can sit for 20 minutes with the plastic placed prominently on top of the bill on the little silver dish, but the staff will carefully avoid me!

Maybe they heard wrong that you're a cop and they don't want to take your money...

When you're having a conversation on the phone and somebody in the same room is trying to talk to you.

It's always the same, they say nothing when you're not busy, but as soon as you are then all of a sudden they have the most interesting stories to tell.

My current pet peeve is the inability to sleep at this present time.

[umgaynow]

When my mother cleans the coffee maker with white vinegar and the whole house smells like Starbucks has begun manufacturing douche

Also, when an adorable woman gives you her number without your asking and you can't figure out when would be the best time to call her and what to say because you still can't get over the fact that she was into you instead of your friend with the long blonde hair and buff body and much more outgoing personality...arrrrrggghhhhhhhh...also major peevishness that I can't really do anything about this because dating takes money and I have no income and she's really cute (when she smiles she looks like a blonde Annabella Sciorra...and her eyes get all sparkly and she smells sooooo good...again I repeat...aaaaarrrgggggggggggg)

Yup number one peeve of the day...BEING SHY! It is so hard to be cool when you can't look a woman you find truly attractive in the eye without blushing like a big dork

I love it when a woman is shy around me because that lets me know that she likes me, and if she blushes then I just melt. Sigh

ETA: Oh uhm, umgaynow, I was meaning that in a good way, ina sorta... 'go get 'em, tiger' kinda way.

My pet peeve: When there's something you can't remember, it's on the tip of your brain dying to come out, but you just. Can't. Remember!

[Emms]

I have one. I get really peeved when people don't take the time to think about the effect their words might have on someone else. My grandmother used to say: if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all. I think that is pretty sound advice.

I think everyone's grandmother said that but kudos for the reminder.

My Pet Peeve Du Jour: Friends or family members who only call when they need something.

People who hold grudges over something that happened ages ago. Like say, 3 year's. Yeah that's annoying.

[Candleshoe]

People who think Depression is a badge of honour: a way to tell the rest of the world that your life is harder than everyone else's.

And people who think they are depressed when they just got out of the bed the wrong side: it's a serious illness, you idiots, not something you can fake to get off work early.

[justin]

Life. Life is a pet peeve

[Tiggrscorpio]

People who blow things completely out of proportion because they have an overwhelming desire to be right about everything!

[YMKA]

People that touch/move other people stuff....it's not yours....DON'T FUCKING TOUCH IT!!!!!!!!!

[Katez0r]

Co-workers who go "I'M ON MY BREAK!!" and refuse to help when you ask them to do a tiiiiiny thing and they technically are not clocked out yet because they're on the way to punch out when you stop them to ask them to do this tiiiiiiiiiiiiiny thing because you have 8 million other things to do before you leave and you've already worked off the clock through your entire lunch to make things easier for them.

Customers who argue with me about prices when they are UP ON THE MENU BOARD.
"But the other store down the street has it for $____."
"Well, our stores are franchised, so it's up to the owner what the prices are."
"But the one down the street..."
"The one down the street has a different owner."
"But it's cheaper there."
OHMYGOD. GO TO THAT STORE, THEN. IT'S LIKE TWO BLOCKS AWAY.

My father playing with his moustache. Rubbing the hairs together. Makes this bristly sound. Drives me nuts. Also, he's very fidgety and constantly rubbing his fingers together, tapping his feet, drumming on the table, or pacing when I'm trying to have a conversation with him. It's hard to tell if he's paying attention or not, and makes me feel like he would rather be anywhere else than talking to me.

Pretty much anything my mom says. But especially when she asks me reaaaally stupid questions about my sexual orientation. Example: When I came out, this is the first question she had- "Are you attracted to me?" WHAT? WHAT?

Okay, maybe I'm just a very irritable person.

I hardly think that qualifies you as an irritable person!!

[Katez0r]

She seems to think so. *Grumble*


'Nother pet peeve. Hummers. In San Francisco. You hardly need a car in San Francisco at all, why the HELL would you need a Hummer? Sometimes when they're behind me, I slow down. Just because they're Hummers.

[Emms]

Hummers are quite pretentious. not just in San Francisco.
