whats your biggest pet-peeve?

[GSXdan]

whats your biggest pet-peeve, or what annoys you the most? for me, its people who sing along with a cd or the radio in the car(the louder it is makes it worse).

what about everyone elses??

^dan

[Mr N8]

People who chew really loud.

People who screw with their computer settings, and then tell me, it just doesn't work, now. I really didn't do anything.

[homer15]

well, the same people that n8 is talking about, and also people that flake out on your plans at the last minute. this is even more annoying when it's something big that you need more people to participate in.

[cobra]

People who keep repeating themselves

(haha, that one's for you, cobra :D)

[Alaron]

Uncooperative people. Especially when trying to help them with computer problems.

People that ask very stupid questions. I mean things that you cant believe they dont have a clue about.

People that take you for granted.

People that ignore you when you go somewhere together.

I could go on ;)

[lil Jimmie]

Well, I’ll just stick to the biggest one, which is when I see an able-bodied person parking in a handicapped parking spot.

Ditto to that. What I don't get is that these people are obviously planning to go into a store / business. While in this business do you think they really think about how many steps it will take them to get around? They save themselves about 30 - 40 steps by parking in someone else's spot, and then walk aimlessly in a mall. Makes sense to me.

I thought of another one...People who flat out lie to me.

[homer15]

you know when someone's lying, and they have that initial blank look on their face then they tell their lie... i hate that look. i'm fairfly honest, and i appreciate it when people are honest right back.

[wolfie]

people that are color blind at stoplights!!!!!!

[sdkfz]

Hey, not fair, being color blind is genetic (I am both red/green and blue/green color blind)

Now what I would agree with is those people who don't know the standard order of lights (red/yellow/green from top to bottom here in the states) and/or those who are not paying attention to the changing lights.

Unless you are talking about the single flashing red/yellow lights, there I must admit that unless I know the area, or I have some one in the car to ask what color the light is I treat them all as Red. Better to annoy someone is is not color blind than to kill some one else, sorry bout that, but I do not think I could live with myself knowing that I killed some one cause of an error like that.

[Talbie]

people who act like they know everything about computers. They sit there and start telling me how much they know and that they installed there own modem or somthing. and they think they are experts.

Thats when I tell them that I fix computers for a living and started this job working on Main Frames. which are computers that would would boogle there minds.

it makes me sound stuck up. up I have spent years getting to this level and don't like people thinking they can get there in a year or so.

Talbie

[wolfie]

im talking about people that dont know what a red stoplight is. and HOW many people go through them.
sorry i was being general about it.

[Iman74]

People that refuse to stay on their side of the road. Here I am follwing the big curve ahead and here comes some !@$**%G idiot that refuses to stay on his side of the road and instead is heading straight towards me on my lane. If you can't stay on your side of the road then "SLOW DOWN!" If that doesn't do it then quit driving.

[audiyoda]

People who can't cut to the chase. I don't want a disertation when I ask someone a question -- give me the cliff notes version.

I love my wife to death, but there are times that I have to bite my tongue when she's telling me about her day -- every little detail included down to the color of people's clothes and what they ate.

-Craig

[Eric H.]

people who don't use their blinkers.

people who burp unnecessarly loud

people who brag

if you're talking to someone and the conversation is obviously over, and they continue to stand there smiling at you like you're suppose to say something.

[mc2phat]

People who insist on touching my monitor and leaving fingerprints everywhere.

People who elevate themselves at the expense of others.

People who cannot admit they made a mistake or are wrong.

People who are inconsiderate.

I also have a thing about people being late.
And one that severely annoys me is people that have never worked on a computer in their life but they know exactly what the problem is (or think that they do).

[raftero]

People who get peeved at other people(just kidding).
what gets me is leaving shopping carts in parking places instead of putting them up,and i have observed it' mostly the young that do this,the old crippled people usually put them up,and what lil jimmy said.i told a young man one time that he must be mentally handicaped because i didn't see any physical problem and he got mad.

[oryx]

Bad drivers:mad: i.e drivers who
- either drive way too fast or way too slow
- tailgate
- refuse to obey lane restrictions,
- e.g. they proceed straight ahead in a right turn only lane
- take up 2 lanes or drive down the middle of the road
- cause gridlock
- turn suddenly without signalling
- appear not to be in control of the car because they are
- fiddling with the radio, talking on a cell phone, eating,
- looking at the baby in the infant seat, fixing their face or hair

I could go on all day, but I won't.

I knew that much... but so like what.. that makes them cool or something to type that way?

[homer15]

i find it really difficult to do that... just randomly hitting the shift key. i prefer to type in all lowercase, unless i'm writing a formal letter or something.

[homer15]

oops, double post... that's sort of another peeve... too bad i can't beat myself up.

[Reedimus]

cutting in line. I can't believe how often adults cut in line. whether they are at the airport, grocery store, or whatever. it seems to happen the most in traffic. people always seem to cut in line when I am around. every time I see it I want to confront them on it but I never do and I just get mad.

[mrlucio]

People who clicks multiple times to start a application.

People who double or clicks multiple times on links on the internet.

[Doobie]

I agree with mrlucio... that really gets on my nerves... next thing you know you have about 30 explorer windows..

I can't stand people who dress there pets in cloths.... Have a kid!!!!

[HAL9000]

I hate when ppl ask me "Does this computer have the internet in it?"

Ya.. the whole damn internet is inside that computer... when I shut it off, you gotta get this baby home, unpack it and set it up as fast as you can and get it online right away or people are going to get really mad.

[Nuclear Krusader]

Traitors, liars, resentful people and stubborn people who never accepts their own faults (and want you to be responsible for them).

[Doobie]

People who have about 100 items in the express check out...


People who think they are so much better then everyone else that they dont have to wait in line, so they begin to pass everyone...

[Computer Hobbyist]

Pet peeves are simply reflections of your own failings imposed on others.

Strive to accept each person encountered without condition.

Remain calm while others lose control.

Focus on the good and beauty of the world.

Above all do not become angry with anyone who mouths fortune cookie philosophy.

CH

[homer15]

that's a bunch of bologna. people annoy other people, and often it doesn't reflect anything about the annoyed person.
i hope your job as a fortune cookie writer is working out...

[Computer Hobbyist]

What peeves you might please another.

Thus it can be written that peeves are relative.


CH


My relatives really peeve me.

[homer15]

confuscious = computer hobbyist :eek: :D

[Force Flow]

People, not matter how many times you tell them the answer, ask the same question over and over and over and over and over...

People who ignore you.

People who make it a point in their life to make yours miserable.

People who think they're better than everyone else and treat everyone like they are beneth them.

Liars.

Websites that take a looooooooooooooooong time to load

Websites that have flashing and moving pictures all over the place.

People who turn up their car stereo so you can hear the base rattle the windows and shake the floor when your house is set back 500ft from the road and the car is nearly 1/4 mile away.

Right on. As many will tell you, I am eternally confused.

The reason for my Smiley imitation is that I am at my wits end. I have just moved to a new house. I am waiting for DSL to be installed. Frankly, the wait bites.

My current pet peeve is the Southwestern Bell voice mail system. Ever tried to use that monstrosity. Gawd, I wish we could go back to real people.

[mc2phat]

They're going there to get their possessions.

It's trying to find its way.

You're right, it is your possession.

Who's going to figure out whose possessions these are?

:D

[Colonel Sanders]

People who ask questions that they could answer if they used common sense...

Bad drivers, like someone in a Camaro driveing 45MPH in a 65MPH zone... Or pull out right in front of you, don't ever speed up, and then turn off about a 100ft down the road...

Logan

[Iman74]

This pet peeves focuses working in Corporate America

I have a pet peeve towards most directors, VP, and Presidents of fortune 500 companies. They think they are better than us. That really just gets under my skin. I walk in their with the attitude if you are so much better than me why do you need me to fix these really simple problems?

People who make up stories to sound 'cool', and then don't believe the stories that I tell them (that actually happened)

When people use something all the time (ie cars, computers), and have no idea how to work or fix them.

While I agree with that people looking down their noses at a question is a pain, I would submit that the guy at best buy didn't know what he was talking about. Otherwise he could have explained the difference. "Just coz..." is the comment of the ignorant.
