I know you lot must have pet peeves...let's hear about 'em! :D


Here are some of mine:
1. When people say "It's a small world, isn't it?" (invariably with a smile)
(well, no, it sure as hell isn't)

2. In the airplane, passengers using the back of my seat as a handle to get up from their seat. (i just want to sock 'em!)

3. When people suddenly stop in the middle of a busy corridor without a thought about the traffic flow behind them- and you bump smack into them
(i just want to kick 'em in the eye!)

4. Saying "excuse me" when the one saying it is really not even close to being in your way (i always glare at 'em :) )

5. "How are you?" as a greeting. (in general that is...not applicable for people who know me well, as in good friends or family --- i mean this mostly towards people who don't know me well or at all)

6. People saying the time of a call on voice mails when they know they are calling your mobile phone. ( c'mon folks, you know cell phones have an automated time stamp on the message told to you ahead of the message playback?? :rolleyes: )

7. People who leave you a long, rambling voice mail with lots of pauses and "um's", and then AT THE VERY END quickly say their call-back number without a repeat of it. Then you have to listen to the damn message all over again (if for some reason it is not a number picked up by your phone or is a different number than the one they called from or something)


(may be continued...i know i have (MANY) more) :D

bus drivers in this capital. trained at the rudness school of being rude. never mind customer service.

the new self service tills at some of the larger supermarkets.

chewing gum on seats, the pavement, floors generally any gum that isn't in the bin, as it is normally then stuck to my arse or my shoes.

trying to watch a film trailor on the internet, then being told you have to update your wot ever....

my kitchen seems to be constantly in a mess.

the smell of the toilets at work.

deodorant that makes my armpit itch and leaves white marks on my clothes.

most television.

when people have crack and wont share
:cool:

Those price tags stickers that they put on the books at Borders not taken off...

People who compliment you on your clothes when it's obvious they hate them.

'Are you wearing a man's shirt?'

'Yeah, so?'

'It looks great. *small cough that you can't really challenge the person about*'

'No it doesn't actually, I looked in the mirror this morning.'

the new self service tills at some of the larger supermarkets.

what happens at them that is annoying?


chewing gum on seats, the pavement, floors generally any gum that isn't in the bin, as it is normally then stuck to my arse or my shoes.


ooh, i hate that too... and same goes for stepping in dog poo in grass

'Misunderstood' musicians. Oh no, he wasnt being a stupid n*bbing c**t, it's his creativity, you just don't understand.

Ladies who lunch they buy s**t loads of clothes, they cant be arsed to try them on, they take them back to the shop with no reciept/over the time limit and scream when they don't get their own way!

Drivers who ignore red lights the number of times I've nearly been run over!
Red top papers lies

I'm going to add to this...

what happens at them that is annoying?



ooh, i hate that too... and same goes for stepping in dog poo in grass

well you start by pressing the screen, scan the item then put it in the bagging arrea. if it doesn't detect the item in the bagging area the till gets annoyed and you can't continue. then if something needs to weighed, going through the list takes forever. always seems loads of people confused by the machines; why can't we have people to serve us.

stepping in dog plop anyway!!!!

People who take and take from the bootleg section of this board and do not return the favor of reposting or putting shit up.


People who say "yeah"....It's YES


Please & Thank yous go a long way...some people need to try it


Cell phones within an eating establishment


Rude people in a public shopping environment


People who pick their nose in public


Hats at the dinner table


BR

People who say "it is what it is." They say this when they have nothing to say.

People who say "like" all the time.

Drivers who constantly do Hollywood stops.

People who get angry about nothing.

Angry people.

5. "How are you?" as a greeting. (in general that is...not applicable for people who know me well, as in good friends or family --- i mean this mostly towards people who don't know me well or at all)


Would you prefer "how bad are you?"

Would you prefer "how bad are you?"

"Is it terminal?"

"Is it terminal?"

I'll quote my sister on this one. When we found out one of our grandparents was dying she said, "and how much money do we get?"

"Is it terminal?"

LMAO now that is funny.

BR

People with really strong Liverpool accents, (they sound like they're just constantly whining! Then again, generally they are.)

People who stand in huddles on street corners, trying to look intimidating, then expect you to be scared when they jump out and go 'BLAHHH!'

People who can't understand why I don't like the Pussycat Dolls.

The Pussycat Dolls.

People who use the word 'gay' as an insult, along with 'mong' 'gimp' 'retard' and 'lez'.

People who ask you 'are you going out with all your mates at the weekend' when clearly inferring that you have no friends to go out with (well, just because it's true doesn't mean you have to say it!)

Would you prefer "how bad are you?"
Well, i didn't say they ask "how good (or 'well') are you?" (such that the antonym above would the logical, perfect alternative)... Rather, "how are you?" is what is customarily said, and which theoretially is asking for some description anywhere on the continuum between "good/well" and "bad/terrible".

But to (ignore any implied dig and) more thoroughly address this topic, it is along the same line as:
People who say "it is what it is." They say this when they have nothing to say.

The problem is that if people really don't know someone else at all or very well, then they are saying "How are you?" only as a pleasantry and expecting an answer of "fine" or "well" back. They don't really intend to receive a full, genuine response, and you aren't always doing fine or well to actually be answering honestly. But you are certainly not going to get into your true feelings with someone who is asking this empty question simply as a polite convention and to have something to say.

I guess the point is: why ask that question of someone whom you are just meeting (or really don't know well), when you can almost guarantee a fixed, meaningless reply? To me, the question is then actually worthless and phony.

I much prefer a simple greeting of "Hi" and then launch into anything else more "real" that can elicit a true reply, if one's intent is to spend time talking to the other person (ie, you are not just moving by someone quickly in passing --- and if you are just rapidly going by them, then "Hi" suffices.)

(There must be others who share this POV??!!)

More: People who say LOL online when they're clearly not laughing at all.

TV Channels who have the same adverts for months on end. I can recite the damn things off by heart now.

Adults who look at you incredulously when you say that you like the Sex Pistols 'Aren't they like, waaay before your time?'

People who ask you 'Why aren't you dancing?' 'Because I don't like you, or your party' but you can't say that...

People who say LOL online when they're clearly not laughing at all.

but how do you know if they are or not?

Couples who walk along the street holding hands.
People who are late all the time
People who ring up radio shows to enter pop quizzes when they don't know anything about pop music.
Busybodies.
Lulu.

people who are constantly at the doctors for any tiny problem, taking up all the appointments so it's almost impossible for anyone else to get in

shop assisstants who would rather spend ages taking to their friends rather than serving the next person in the line

iTunes 7 - it messes up my computer, I manage to go back to an earlier version of iTunes yet it still expects me to upgrade and go back to iTunes 7?! Not a chance!

Filesharing networks full of people with no files to share who can't understand it when people with files to share ban them

Tall people at gigs who ALWAYS seem to stand in front of me. People at gigs who seem to watch all of the gig via their mobile phone. People at gigs who phone people and hold up the phone so the person the other end can hear a really, really bad version of the song for 30 seconds.

G-Mex gig I'll definitely have this problem.
I'm less than 5' 2", need to smuggle a stepladder.:D

Business clichés.

Thinking outside the box
blue sky this or that
keep me in the loop
singing from the same hymn sheet
etc

but how do you know if they are or not?

Because what you said was someting like 'Yeah...' Anyway I've taken to asking people if they are actually laughing and they always say no.

Another one: Shopkeepers/supermarkets who check your bags before you leave. They suspect everyone of being a criminal, and then they look at you as if you were a slug.

i long for the day a security guard asks to see inside my shopping bags when i've already paid for the stuff (particularaly if the alarm's going off), just so i can tell him/them to fuck off; there's nothing they can do about it.

Just got to Technomarket here. They make you produce your receipt and everything...

when people greet you with "alright?" and i dont know what is the correct answer i should give... are they asking me if im alright, does that mean i say "im alright"? or are they just saying "alright" as a way of saying "hello", do i have to say "alright" back then? :confused:

hello and a smile will do.

it does seem since Friends was on the television that saying "hey" as a greeting is more and more comman. bloody americans:)

^^I thought that was a British expression, I didn't realize Brits also have a problem with it :) .


5. "How are you?" as a greeting. (in general that is...not applicable for people who know me well, as in good friends or family --- i mean this mostly towards people who don't know me well or at all)


I hear you. It's even worse in America, when I was in there a few years ago the salespeople kept greeting me with "hi, how are you?" I always wondered, what am I supposed to reply?
Other peeves - when cab drivers try to cheat you (I've had this happen twice recently), when you ask people an either or question and they answer with "yes" (yes to which? the first or the last? argg!), when people insist on having private cell phone conversations in public, when people make out in public, when people say something mean "because they're only interested in your own good" or "it's just the kind of person they are, they have to be honest". No you don't! I don't tell you everything I think of you, do I?

^^^ how dare you an "english expression", we have class & manners in this country, only the other day, i heard one of my servants use this vague amercian exchange and i later beat them with my riding cane!

i was once in a post office and this man was breaking up with his partner/wife over his mobile (or cell phone for the yanks)!!!!

another time this chap was booking his holiday and spoke clearly, when he was away and his full name and address. well, if i was into a spot of burglary... easy pickings!!!!

I meant ^^ for helmoz talking about "alright", you butted in between :p .

EDIT: gotta go, may be back later!

People who are completely unaware of the concept of personal space. Do they like to be encroached upon (?); therefore they do unto others as they are done to?

(For god's sake people, be a little more considerate of those around you!)

Stupid misspelt names on children. Bobi-Lia, Krystal, Parris... I'm not making this up. And names made out of words spelt backwards are even worse! legna? susej? How about yessirrom, Zom or kcuf ffo tnuc?

^I guess my screenname gets under your skin then?

^I guess my screenname gets under your skin then?

its probably different cos you chose your screenname - its not like inflicting a misspelt name on a child!

Chiggers, mange, empty food dishes, tail-pulling.

My pet peeves, those are.

its probably different cos you chose your screenname - its not like inflicting a misspelt name on a child!

You could be right but also possible she doesn't like them in general. (Although come to think of it, hatfull is an altered spelling of something we know and love, so maybe I am in the clear!)

people who talk/write about pop music in a "serious" and pretentious manner, as if it (or even some of it) were "important".

Sorry if these ahve been mentioned previosuly:

First Great Western trains are a current pet peev

Banks charging policy for going £1.30 over an overdraft limit.

Cyclists on the pavement.

Chewing gum... (I've seen this previosuly mentioned) a whole novella in itself. Yes you you fucker who ruined my £80 white shirt....

People who fumble for change etc on embarking on public transport, making one late and irritable.

People who dawdle in supermarkets and the street and stop for no apparent reason. RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.

Having to pull sickies from work when you ahve an abscess in your mouth!!! Oh hang on this is one of my pet joys!!!!! Adverse reaction to the anitbiotics. Tsk I dunno

People who refuse to carshare/ commute to work without considering it, clogging up the roads, GRIDLOCK is here.

Post only coming once a day and always after you've left for work.

FUCKING SEAGULLS

This place being absolutely empty with nobody signed in and no interesting topics when you're on, and then as soon as you have to leave filling up with people and new threads.

People you want to talk to signing in on MSN when you're signing out.

User names are diferent, i have altered the spelling on mine as you can see. But I am not really called 'Hatfull'. I have a sensible name I can get a job with. How is anyone called Krystal ever going to get through life??????????

This from the person who spent a very long time taking great offence at my love for The Feeling :D ;)

I HATE BT Home Hub!!!!!!!!!!! It is f**ked up AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

i hate my internet provider too!!!!

and yesterday bus drivers again for going on strike.

Selfish! What do they have to strike over?

Selfish! What do they have to strike over?

they want more pay for being oafish, burger king and Zoo magazine.

Well they might want to turn up on time/ not drive like a racing driver/ not stop to have a chat with their friends when I have places to go/not pull out when they see people running for the bus then.

that is a bit strong can't expecting them to do their job with any degree of courtesy... that's we're on strike brothers!!!!

The only good thing is, the oyster card readers don't work half the time, so until they figure out a system as back up, I get loads of free journeys!

ha - i mentioned this one too. so bloody infuriating. makes me want to pull their lungs out through their nose. :D

Its called pedrage (as in pedestrian)

Well thats the term I came up with. It'll be a common part of the English language in a hundred years time when noone has any choice but to walk (re: my point on GRIDLOCK)

This from the person who spent a very long time taking great offence at my love for The Feeling :D ;)

yes, very funny. :mad:

however, i can't imagine anybody could take The Feeling seriously, even if they do buy their records, so you're ok(ish), in my book. ;)

Well, I don't take them seriously, they're fluffy and inoffensive. I am going to see them though!:D

Why do people insist on coming with their entire families as well, especially kids that can't behave!Leave them at home with your partner/mum/ the rest of the family you're with!

well but they are not like the monkees...they were fluffy and inoffensive.

because leaving the children at home chained to the radiator with a cup of water is against the law.

same here i have shops own. and then pieces of string are useless use a spoon and squeeze.

They're sugary and fluffy and I like them!

I really don't have teabags with string, when did they all start coming with that?

The Twinings ones have string...

I really don't have teabags with string, when did they all start coming with that?

well this chap invented them when he lost all his tea spoons down the back of the sofa.

We just buy more when that happens... I think it's because (how snobby do I sound now) I drink Earl Grey (Sainsburys own) and they come in old fashioned tea bags.

and earl grey should come in proper tea bags, no string or shaped like a triangle.

They're round, which i quite like, but they are old fashioned!

They're round, which i quite like, but they are old fashioned!

so not square... the decline of the british empire. we need old fashioned teasbags, like we had when we 1st had tea.

I like them being round though! Just glad they don't have string!

I'm talking about unkempt disheveled way.
And of course, women as well.
I won't mention pets because in a perfect world

don't knock airline snacks... just decline them! :p



your boss saying: are you eating an orange? when you are eating an orange :mad:

OK, there's more.

I'm enraged by the whole "books and coffee" movement. I want books without coffee. I don't even want to smell coffee in a bookshop. I want to smell the books, and only the books: the lovely slow decay of the old ones, and the fresh inky yumminess of the new ones.

I hate it when shop assistants give you your change on top of the recipet so that it all falls off your hand.

The growing trend for going up in tone at the end of every sentence as if everything you say is a question.

The fact that I can't stop myself from saying 'like' all the time.

I have more but the one that annoyed me a lot in the past few weeks is:

I dislike people who reffer to people from ex-USSR, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, ex-Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria (...) only as "Eastern Europeans". Example "Where does he come from" "Aaah, he's eastern european!" "Where from in Eastern Europe?" "Ummmm :confused: does it matter? "

I mean, I understand that some people had difficulties to get a grip on Eastern Europe at the late 80s, early 90s but a lot of years have passed and it's about time some of our "Western"-based fellas learned their geography a bit better!

The fact that I can't stop myself from saying 'like' all the time.

i say "like" so often, it's incredible.

i all must stop calling every girl i know "dude".

Two of my flatmates say 'dude' all the time and I've picked it up from them. It is so annoying, but I cant stop!

Two of my flatmates say 'dude' all the time and I've picked it up from them. It is so annoying, but I cant stop!

i cannot stop either.

then again, i tend to call people older than myself "kid" and often get other's attention by exclaming "yo!" uggh.

Reminds me how mad I got when I saw American Pie 3 or 4 (don't say you count them).

I refer to men as 'boys'[ all the time... but I'm now at my old age flattered to be called 'girl'. 'Young lady' makes me want to punch people though.

what about being called "sweetie" or "dear"?
my Canadian language arts teacher addressed all girls as "pumpkin" or "sunshine". now that i think of it, that is a major pet peeve of mine.

ooh. the one with lime is my favorite. as for the airline snacks, well, not much of a problem anymore since they've stopped giving them out.

For me it is a toss-up between diet coke with lime or diet cherry coke. For the uncola variety, i go for diet mountain dew and fresca (when i can't have caffeine, like this time of night!)

Delta still gives snacks for most flights, and the selection has improved vastly even over a year ago (when all that was given out was a tiny-ass bag of peanuts). Now, for the most part you get a choice of lance cheese on wheat crackers, sunchips, quaker chocolate chip chewy granola bar, peanuts, or a small butter cookie. I always select either the crackers or the sunchips.

I dislike people who reffer to people from ex-USSR, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, ex-Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria (...) only as "Eastern Europeans". Example "Where does he come from" "Aaah, he's eastern european!" "Where from in Eastern Europe?" "Ummmm :confused: does it matter? "

I mean, I understand that some people had difficulties to get a grip on Eastern Europe at the late 80s, early 90s but a lot of years have passed and it's about time some of our "Western"-based fellas learned their geography a bit better!

Good pet peeve. And agreed. Any tips for improving us? (besides geography lessons?) :D

Ooooo bus drivers again... all the buses i use are on strike again. underground is full up of people. was pushed so up close to a women, a decent lawyer could of called it rape!!!!! garlic and ciggies... ain't a nice smell, pls wash your clothes or yourself, oh the joys of the underground. 'mind the gap' felt like jumping down and playing with the rodants, who would of smelt better. all this to get to a stupid job!

pls wash your clothes or yourself
Or both, if possible :D

It's my God given right to feel old on my birthday!:D

pet peeve: spankers not confining spanking to the spankings thread (http://forums.morrissey-solo.com/showthread.php?t=65026)

For me it is a toss-up between diet coke with lime or diet cherry coke. For the uncola variety, i go for diet mountain dew and fresca (when i can't have caffeine, like this time of night!)


For me, the diet cherry coke is a dessert drink, it's complexity reminds me of black forest cake. And yes: I had my first diet mountain dew the other day, and it was 20oz. of gingery goodness!!! :D Any thoughts on the best diet root beer, or don't you indulge?

Also:
BUreaucratic nonsense. For example I have accepted liability for my poll tax (sorry council tax) debt and have come up with a payment plan whereby my debt will be zero by April. (the start of the tax year) This is not acceptable to the council as they have to send bailiffs round to determine my ability to pay.... wtf? I've suggested how I can pay it, grrr.

The council also in their infinite wisdom don't provide recycling bags but my mates who live 10 mins walk away from me have got different colour wheelie bins for different recycling materials.

a reoccurring pet peeve of mine: i fancy boys that dont fancy me, other boys fancy me but i dont fancy them. i never get fancied by the boys that i fancy. that wouldnt be so bad, but then people say stuff to me like "why havent you got a boyfriend?" which pisses me off cos i explain the situation to them but they still dont seem to understand!

People look at me with a mix of pity and disgust for being single sometimes, it doesn't seem plausable to them I like being on my own right now!

i dont mind being single, i have lots of friends and lots of other stuff going on in my life as well. the only times i feel i want a boyfriend is when i meet someone i actually want to go out with. i hate it when people want me to have a boyfriend because it is "the done thing." you should be going out with people because you want to, not because other people want you to! i hate the pressure :(

I didn't read all the posts so forgive me if these are repeats:

People who leave their shopping carts in the middle of the aisle not leaving enough space to get past without having to say "excuse me" so you can pass. (I'd like to ram their cart with their mine - into the back of them)

People who decide to stop in the middle of an aisle and start up a chat with others. (people! I am trying to get through, go take your conversation into the corner and out of my way)

People who walk down the middle of an aisle so slow that you can watch the hour hand on the clock move and you are stuck behind them. (I don't mean really elderly people...God bless them that they can still get about)

The big sows in those electric handicap carts...you know the rest

NICE. At dessert time, you can have all the diet cherry coke you want, feel like you are eating black forest cake, and not ingest any calories while indulging. I think you found the perfect "dessert". Maybe you could get rich and famous selling this idea to all the millions trying to lose weight but unable to forgo cake?
(yeah, forget that lottery that keeps chewing up your money and not spitting any back out ;) )

just had diet mountain dew? what took you so long?!!
(i don't recommend the code red variety of this though...that is just a little too kool-aidy, well at least for my tastes)

yep, i go for diet root beer, as well. however, i usually get the publix (or other grocery store) private label variety....to me it is just as good as A&W
(but i think you probably know publix, yes?)

i really don't like fat people who give tips on how to get fit.
like
well
there's this person in my life, and she's overweight. and she overheard me talking to my friends about wanting to lose a few particular pounds. she started talking to me and giving me advice on how "drinking a cup of warm lemon juice in the morning" and "doing cardio every day for 30 min" etc really helps.

....

and i just smile and sit there...but instead i'd really like to ask "if it all works so well, why do you weigh 300 pounds!?!??!!"

rejection letters from potential employers were they put at the end "we wish you all the best for the future" - yea right! you couldn't care less what i do else you would have given me a job. or when they put "after careful consideration we have decided not to take you're application any further" when they've sent the letter so soon after you've sent your cv in they obviously haven't considered it at all. or when they say "we hope this decision wasn't too dissappointing for you" - oh no, i was jumping for joy to get another rejection letter. or when they say they have chosen someone with better experience than me when the job advert said no experience required.

get the feeling i've been getting a lot of job rejection letters lately?

but even more annoying is when i go for an interview and they never bother to contact me afterwards. if i ring up to ask the outcome of the interview after a few days the person i need to speak to is convientially out and never rings me back.

Generalizations about a group are fine, but it is a pet peeve when such generalizations spawn a prejudice that then gets applied unfairly to all members of that group, and adequate consideration is not given to individuals in that group who may not fit the stereotype.

(whew, glad to get that off my chest...)

Working class Tories.



and working class New Labour voters

They're the same thing aren't they?

More peevy things...

Building roads next to prehistoric monuments!
Anyone who hasn't been to Stonehenge will be chuffed to know that its really easy to get to as they built a f***ing A-road right next door to it!!!
The roar of traffic somewhat takes away from the mysticism that is evoked as you marvel at these ancient relics. (And groups of tourists)

However they are now going to build a road tunnel... Probably right under the stones!!! Honest is there any other country in the world that would desecrate their historic monuments in such a manner? I reckon they should let graffiti artists loose on it and all!

Why not turn it into a McDonalds and have done with it?

today it's limescale!

:D Every Thursday is curry day in work. (ie the canteen serve up 3 varieties of curry)

The vegetarian option is always F-ING korma despite being advertised this week as vegetable balti. In the 5 months of having canteen facilities it has been korma every week, regardless of what the menu stipulates,

I'm f-d off with the assumption that cos I'm a veggie then I mustn't like spices (variety is the spice of life!?!) and have now written to them stipulating this.

I would also have had a curry last night if I'd have known, instead of pizza. Grrr not happy.

Oh and another thing is when contact lenses fall out without your knowledge, leaving you with one good eye and one bad eye.

I AM NOT HAVING A GOOD DAY. And my auntie ain't down from Reading.

Bluebirds, rotten luck with the korma but at least you get curry. Our place serves only ham sandwiches and purple "juice." The veggie option equals the vending machine.

A pet peeve: When people invite you to something that they know you don't want to attend (for me: an awards dinner, a stranger's wedding, holiday parties) and finish up with, "It would mean so much to me if you would come." Please. I only have so much time left on earth...

The cat who keeps coming to our house, eating our cats' food and sleeping in our cats' basket. How do you tell a cat to fuck off?

Same here. Tomorrow night an acquintance (whom I don't really 'know', let alone 'like') invited me to her birthday-party. Since almost everybody goes they're sort of dragging me along. But hey, there are drinks and who knows, maybe I'll meet interesting people. :rolleyes:

The cat who keeps coming to our house, eating our cats' food and sleeping in our cats' basket. How do you tell a cat to fuck off?


Awww, that is so cute! Don't tell it to fuck off, just buy another cat basket and dish to put food in. It must be lonely, the poor baby.

The chances are it does this to other homes in the area as well, so don't feel too sorry for it. They play on that whole cute kitty thing. And my cat has a huge scratch on her ear from being beaten up by the local stray. How does it get in? And hoe the hell do you get your cat to sleep in a basket? My cat worked out 2 days after I got her that my bed was way more comfortable to sleep on and rejected her basket.

Cat food does actually cost money :rolleyes: I have no problem with feeding it a little, it's just it really is taking over. It's scaring our cats out of their own basket. It's this big huge brute... I don't want to be mean to it or anything but I do wish it would stop making our cats sleep elsewhere while it takes over their stuff.

How do we get them to sleep in a basket? Well, when our cat had 5 kittens we just couldn't keep them inside once they started growing up. So the poor things have to sleep outside. We've managed to give away two, but we still have two left and the one we're keeping. As soon as we manage to get homes for the other two then they can come back inside.

Try hissing. That got rid of the tom who was bothering my cat.

Hmm. Shall give it a try. I can't wait until we move house... Cats get to come inside, stray stays behind.

Don't forget to rub butter on their paws (I don't know why it works, it just does)

What does this achieve?

When you move house, it stops them getting lost as long as you give it a few days before you let them out. Cats try to go back to their old houses sometimes.

Oh. I wouldn't let mine out anyway. Two of my cats got hit by cars and died. Since then, I've always kept cats indoors.

My cat knows the rule. Back door (garden)= fine. Front door (road)= NEVER EVER! She can't work out how to get round to the front!

It's wasteful, materialistic and idiotic. A car is a car is a car. Who cares anyhow? Most people's idea of progress sure as hell isn't mine. There's an unequal distribution of wealth going on in this world. Some people are dying of hunger whilst others can afford to buy a car which costs three or four times the average British salary, just to satisfy their usually huge ego. It's such fucking nonsense.

Just... nevermind.

No it's not that, I just don't like arguing with know-it-alls.

Or simply people who you know will defeat you in an argument?

it wasn't 'i hate them for spending lots of money on a car'...i would if i could afford to. it's because they are all fucking shit drivers. twice a week i have to do motorway driving and each time some wanky BMW driver... drives up my arse, cuts me up...or the like. and as i have said before i don't drive particularly slowly.

LOL... and you are still able to convince her to go each time??!

Every time a new Thai place opens up near her house she calls me to ask if I want to go and adds, "I've never had thigh food before but let's try it." And I say, "Mom, you've been to Thai Moon, Sea Siam, the Lotus Room, Siam River...you can't tell me you don't remember." She angrily replies, "Are you trying to say I'm forgetful??" Me, lunch flashing before my eyes, "What time?" Her, still fired up, "Do they give you rice? Because I don't want a lot of rice!"

and people handing out flyers/leaflets. i don't want one, it doesn't matter how many times it's pushed in front of me

I used to hate those people until a few of my friends lost jobs and had to do that for money - I know their salaries depend upon the number of leaflets they distribute so I just grab them and toss them the next minute, no problem for me, more money for them.

(though I, of course, understand why someone would hate that still)

I really, profoundly hate people who knock at my door all the time, offering stuff for sale, asking for money, hoping to save my soul etc. I tried putting up some signs on my door but they ended up confusing everyone allowed to ring and didn't put the unwanted crowd off trying. Any other suggestions?

Johova's witnesses they never leave even when you tell them forcefully that the door is locked and you have no idea how to open it, charity people do the same

The other day a lady knocked on my door (with one of the intentions that Demon mentioned), and I asked her to wait till I found the key (I don't know how to tell people to get lost). Then I searched two minutes for my keys, but I couldn't find them, and that's what I said to the lady. And she started bashing me for letting her wait so long :p

My bank balance is sinking...I used to manage to save £200 per week, which was miracle.
The market research company hasn't paid us yet which is so annoying.
We've been kept waiting for last three weeks.

Another peeve is my flatmates...they should go to their rooms now.
I hate them staying in the kitchen too long.

yep only one person off at a time!!!!
wow 200 per week... i only can do 20 per month??? another peeve!
that's not on really.
oh in the kitchen on morrissey-solo... a kitchen sink drama then, if there any arguements!

jack black is starting to be a peeve of mine!

Well, it took me five years to save up and come back to Britain.
Luckily I managed to find a part-time job soon and cheap accommodation which helped not spend all my savings that's why I somehow manage to survive.
However, the big mistake was I didn't think about going to a college to get a qualification of librarian. If I've done it ten years' ago I would have been happier now. Well, I'll do it next year.

well it's something to look forward to for next year:). we all have things we wished we had done years ago...mine is to learn to drive.

Obstacles. :mad:

When you save up you can learn to drive.

I was bit upset that my parents paid driving lesson fee for our brother.
They could have made him promise to pay back later.
He's a spoilt kid who still lives with parents and doesn't pay anything.
Learn to drive is very expensive in Japan and I had to save up to travel to see The Smiths so couldn't afford it.

its expensive here but i don't think i could buy a car.
but i think in a way you made a right decision, to see the smiths:)

Yep, I was lucky.:)
If I had $500m and asked them to reform, they won't.
I'm very sorry for other people who never had a chance to see them.:o

i got into them in the year they split up:( looking forward to a tour for strangeways... then i remember buying the NME:(
but i've morrissey about 9 times now
i wouldn't ask them to reform... it wouldn't be the same.

Walkabout pubs... VILE!!!!!!!!!!

Walkabout pubs... VILE!!!!!!!!!!

good day mate... don't yer like yer foster yer pom!

not as much as tiger tiger

They should ALL be BANNED!!! ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!! the bars not the people...

They should ALL be BANNED!!! ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!! the bars not the people...
lets start a campaign.

When people give me calendars for Christmas. They don't make calendars for people like me. I'm backward looking. My prediction is that I will get at least three, but none will be as bad as the Thomas Kinkaid Painter of the Shite Jumbo Calendar from the year before last which made me wish for macular degeneration in order not to spend all year looking at it (so I gave it to my mother). Yeah, calendars and little baskets filled with Christmas-themed crap like Santa candles (so I can burn him in effigy?) and whimsical mugs stuffed with packets of hot chocolate. :mad:

calenders are quite expensive, well the ones i want are. but for next year i have one from a film magazine. also tells me what films are released like in may spiderman 3:)
peeves for today.. i forgot my sunglasses when i went out.

XFM is disgraceful!!
I just heard the repeat of Morrissey's interview, they swapped the song to First of the Gang to Die.
They originally played I Just Want to See the Boy Happy.
He came to promote IJWTSTBH and UK tour, even it's a repeat why they had to change?
It's great to have a repeat, but disappointing to hear unnecessary change of the song.:(

Oh, i get more than peevish getting that junk every year. Some examples of the worst offenders in recent years:

the snowman liquid soap dispenser:

the santa cookie jar:
http://images.replacements.com/images/images5/china/S/sakura_magic_of_santa_cookie_jar_and_lid_P00000894 50S0025T2.jpg

and worst of all, the christmas tree ornament displaying a year on it that is actually from a previous year but given to me in the current year. like i think i might have gotten one from 2003 last year:
https://secure2.convio.net/ppt/images/donation_icons/premium_images/1180083291.custom.jpg
(one relative does this every christmas. i guess she cannot let go of the past)



How can they hear me say those words each year - {"I DON'T WANT ANY CHRISTMAS-THEMED TRINKETS"}
Still they don't believe me ?

:-(

Oh, i get more than peevish getting that junk every year.

I feel your pain. I also hate how everything has to be peppermint or cinnamon this time of year. :mad:

Bonus Pet Peeve: I've just had to go buy some jeans because my old ones were falling off and it was becoming hard not to moon everyone. WTF!?!?! How can anyone find the rise, rinse, cut, and size they want?! And why does everything have to stretch now? I'm too young for granny pants. Even Levi's have started this. What's wrong with 100% cotton? :mad: What's it like in the rest of the world, I wonder?

I hate shopping for jeans! I get sooo angry! My new thing is by fit jeans, nice and baggy and no mooning with a belt

^yep, i have major problems in the jean area too. mostly because they think somehow that all women are super slim through the hips and thighs...:rolleyes:

CDS... I csan save them as MP3s though... I know it doesn't matter now because you've done it, but every time someone asks me to upload something I can't :(

here, here
if ppl want me to upload something
then EXPLAIN FOR ME HOW TO DO IT
cuz they always want me email adress
and the ones im willing to give out no work
i think
:eek:


yes, THIS IS A PEEVE
cuz, its early and my breakfast needs made

^so, you're saying that is your pet peeve i take it?

Exactly. I'm happy to do it, but I can't. It's not my fault I'm rubbish with computers!

What's it like in the rest of the world, I wonder?
The same! Just today I've been thinking how much I love my 100% cotton jeans. But they're too old and I only wear them at home now. Impossible to find another pair to buy! :(

^yep, i have major problems in the jean area too. mostly because they think somehow that all women are super slim through the hips and thighs...:rolleyes:


Yeah, most of them seem to have been designed for Brazilian 16-year olds and I'm afraid in my case...

:eek:

^ i could say something about Cod's anaconda here, but i will refrain... :rolleyes:

yeah, what is it? they don't think any women have gluteal or thigh muscles?

The glorification of David Hasselhoff as some kind of cult cheesemeister. Why???

I find nothing about him amusing even in a kitsch way.

Never having vegetarian gravy with a vegetarian roast dinner, unless amde by yours truly.

Having to purchase Christmas cards for estranged step-family members and wondering what to put in the card(s) ie a little potted history of what I've been up to.

When i am the only one in here replying, and my name is showing as last post for like five threads in a row... http://www.websmileys.com/sm/mad/569.gif

Today's peeve is that silly poll on the general discussion.
It's utterly disgraceful and disrespectful even imagine such a thing.
The person who started it seriously needs some medical help.

kewpie is losin it
a little
awesome!
:D

Exactly. Trust me, boy fit jeans are the way to go. I always have problems with the thigh bits as that is the bit of my leg where all the crisps I eat seem to seetle and will not shift no matter how much walking I do.

I hate all this Christmas card crap. It's like 'I know we have never got on and I spend 364 days a year slagging you off, but Happy Christmas and New Year! We must meet up!'

I know the feeling....

My peeve for the day: people who think it is acceptable to take their dogs out without a lead. Fair enough, let them off the lead, but if you know they have a bit of a funny temper about other dogs BRING A LEAD WITH YOU TO PUT THE DOG ON!!!!!!!!

Lightbulbs which last only few months.
It's too much trouble to change it.:(

kewpie, you need compact fluorescent bulbs!
http://www.energystar.gov/ia/products/images/compact_light.jpg

"Use at least 2/3 less energy than standard incandescent bulbs to provide the same amount of light, and last up to 10 times longer."

Thanks, I have it in my room, but communal area of the flat doesn't.
My flatmates don't care those things.:(

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMP!!

seeing some pathetic trolls on the forums.

We miss chica and Sir Alec...sigh:(

Chica would save the day for sure.

I confessed to Sister_Steve last night, over a bottle of vino, that I thought you were being serious when you said We were over. Then she asked where you're from. And I had to admit I had no idea. Or how old you are. Or erm anything else about you. Which I actually think is a v. g. foundation for a healthy marriage ha ha :p

I did like the old one, too. Paul is a celeb round here. But I have changed my hair since May so the Hitler side parting was inaccurate.
