The Pet Peeve Thread

[celts55]

People who use the word literal when it's not. Like, he literally blew his head off.. NO he didn't. He shot it off. Why add a word that you don't need, when it's incorrect anyway? I mean I'm pretty dam sure he didn't stand there blowing on someone's head until it fell off. I hate that so much.

Thank you for letting me vent and have a nice day.

political debates where minds are made up without even considering the other side of the issue.

- People who don't wipe down gym equipment after they finish up. There are towels at the front desk for a reason. Who the hell wants to sit down on a machine drenched in another person's sweat?

- Bums outside the 7-11 who open a door and expect change and then tell me that I look like I've "had a terrible day." At least I have something substantive going on with my life you tramp.

- People who talk in the library.

- People who tell me that they're going to pray for me after I don't take their literature. Really? You're going to waste your time praying for a godless Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. like me?

- People who walk at you and expect you to move out of their way.

- The way "LOL" has permeated our society. My mom now uses it in her emails. Just shoot me in the face already.

- RV's

- People with keys on a carabiner clipped to their pants. In addition to looking like a complete tool, you make an obscene amount of noise walking around in the library. Good job.

There's more but these are the ones that have irritated me so far today.

The "Let's go Hawks!  Let's go Hawks!" recording in Atlanta.

I watched a little bit of Hawks/Heat game the other day and wanted to smash my TV.  I am sooo glad the Celtics aren't playing them this year.

To our players..!  And the "no professional respect to PP, like Kobe and LBJ get,,,actually, no noe should get it, the refs should call the game by the real book, the same for everyone ALL game every game, they shouldn't judge the game nor influence it, or control it....(for extra cash....!).

I wish they would up the fine for throwing cigarettes out the car window to 1 grand, and enforce it...Someone bounced one off of my car last night on the highway, lucky for them i couldn't tell who it was......I'll make em wish they had cancer early!!!

woah woah woah. What do you do when people tell you how to pronounce your own name?

My last name is Needel...pronounced like the thing that connects the top and bottom parts of your leg and the computer type (KNEE DELL)...About 90% of the time people seeing it for the first time pronounce it like the sharp poky thing you use when sewing (NEEDLE).

There was a lady who worked at the pharmacy.  I'd go in there once a month for years and ask to pick up a prescription for "Needel".  One time she went to look for it, then turned around and said, "Oh, you mean Needle."

I started to open my mouth to inform her that I think I had the correct pronunciation, when she realized that this was probably the case and that her correcting me was sort of silly.  She gave me a dumb look and said, "Oh, yes, Needel".

Very nice lady, so i cut her some slack.  (I only slashed three of her tires)

In the NFL draft when they say "He's a good down hill runner".  I wasn't aware they played on hills. Also I was a good downhill runner in 6th grade. Running down hills is easy. Any uphill runners?
