Pet Peaves

This topic is about various pet peaves.

My pet peaves:
1. I hate it when you call someone's cell phone and someone else answers.

2. I hate when you call to ask questions over the phone about additions to your phone plans or cable plans or what not and they constantly try to give you things you do not want.

dishonest people, and when you go to a restaurant and the waiter asks someone else what you want.

Post 3 by sparkie (the hilljack) on Thursday, 03-Aug-2006 20:02:53

1. When you're on the phone with someone and they say they'll call you back in a few minutes, but then they never call.
2. people that break the law or try to make up their own laws (work related)
3. dishonest people and people who lie all the time.
4. waiting on hold for an extended period of time, (yes I know this can't be helped.)
5. When you are in line getting food, and someone else constantly changes their order or keeps adding things to their order holding up the line.
6. Smoking
7. people calling you to talk about absolutely nothing.

1. Stupid people. This condenses everybody else's people related pet peeves as well as adding a few of my own.
2. Also the restaurant thing, although some chains are training employees about how to act around people with disabilities, as I was pleasantly surprised with yesterday.
3. Families who can't control their kids in stores.
4. People who find it necessary to call your house looking for someone else, say, another family member, and they end up talking your ear off and making you uncomfortable in the process.
5. Those who find it necessary to make a big ass deal out of a small ass thing. I.E. People at my school who can't keep their big ass yappers shut.
I'm done for now, I know, I never post to these thinggies, but this one was too good to pass up. If I think of anymore, or if anymore arise, and don't worry, there are more, I just can't think of them right now in my current state, I'll post them.

Now for my pet peeves. 1. people eating with their mouth full or open. Yuck! makes me feel sick, especially if they're sitting next to me or I'm having to listen to it on Eastenders.

2. People who make no effort to control their kids or quieten their babies when they're screaming and having temper tantrums and stuff in public places. Yes, you should ignore a temper tantrum while it goes on, but why should other people have to listen to it?

3. people who think they rule the highstreet or another busy street in the town centre if they have a baby buggy or pushchair. These also clog up the streets and make it virtually impossible for other people without them to nigociate the town centre.
4. People who smoke, which doesn't do my chest a lot of good and leaves me feeling incredibly bunged up and asphixiated by the smoke. 5. Anyone who commits crimes of any kind, Burgulary, GBH, Asault, arsen, rape, murder, you name it and them, I hate it and them.

6. People not showing me round unfamiliar places properly, my aunt's house for example, where the whole downstairs is open-plan, with the acception of the bathroom and Joe's and Kezzie's bedrooms. 7. Not being able to kick bad habbits. My nail-biting for example.

8. Good characters being killed off in novels, EG Dumbledore in Harry Potter book 6 HBP.

Damn! PC's on a go-slow again. That's why I think I posted twice there.

Hmm hot weather, beer still warm and not long out the fridge, michael schumacher,people chewing gum with their mouths open,teenagers addicted to their mobiles..Nightwish splitting when I've only just discovered their stunning orchestral rock. Lordi not getting the recognition in britain that they deserve after 10 years of trying.

Post 9 by Godzilla-On-Toast (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Saturday, 05-Aug-2006 9:21:04

I hate it when you're watching a movie and there's a funny line, and right after the line is spoken in the movie somebody has to repeat the funny line. You get extra peeve points when you repeat that same line more than once while there's more dialogue going on in said movie. GRRR, laugh if you want to but otherwise shut the hell up!

Post 10 by Goblin (I have proven to myself and the world that I need mental help) on Saturday, 05-Aug-2006 9:27:57

People full of hate, religion the cause of all wars, whaling animal cruelty full stop.Imbeciles, who assume that because of my reliance on anti seizure medication,I'm completely retarded. Midgies, too many snake related progs on sky tv.

Post 11 by King Reeses (King of all Peanut Butter) on Saturday, 05-Aug-2006 22:29:44

I think I have a couple more. I hate people who sit down and listen to advice and then they go and turn around and not take the advice. People who don't do their jobs correctly.

Post 12 by Rune Knight (Ancient Demon - Darkness will always conquer Light!) on Sunday, 06-Aug-2006 10:05:20

My Pet Peaves are as follows:


1. I hate those who I give advice to and then they turn around and not take it. I mean after all, I'm not doing it for my health, I'm doing it to help you out.


2. I hate helping people with things and not being payed back or given a thank you of any sort for my service and time provided to them. EXAMPLE: If I lend you money so can get something to eat I EXPECT to be paid back in the near future.


3. I absolutely hate being disturb early in the morning if I'm asleep by telemarketers. (I know that can't be helped, I keep it plugged in just in case of a family emergency.)


4. I also don't liked to be bothered if I'm cooking, watching, playing a videogame, or what not. Because I'm trying to pay attention to what I'm doing. And trust me I'm one of those who is easy to distract. That's all for now if I have more you'll be seeing me again on this board.

Post 13 by JerseyGirl1989 (Zone BBS is my Life) on Sunday, 06-Aug-2006 16:07:37

Hey! Good question!! My pet peeves are: 1. When people on the road are on there phones. 2. When parents can't contrll there kids in a store. 3. When I lend somebody something, and they expect to be payed back, and/or they take a super long time to send it back. 4. When I call a cd store, or cerkit city (or one of those places) and they tell me 'Hold on' 'Let me transfer you' and I'm on hold forever!!!!! If I think of any more I'll come back and post!

1 Cell phones ringing and people talking on 2 ways very loud in restaurants.
2 Annoying people who think that blind people can not speak for themselves.
3 People who think that gay people are going to hell just because of that and don't see past it.
4 Teachers asking you well should you take a condom?
5 Kids screaming in public places and there parents screaming right back for them to shut up.
6 People who say o forgive me I am so sorry when I run in to them. It's my fault.
7 Cliques. No matter where you are people won't talk or make friends with you because they have a group. This site sets a bad example for that.
8 acranyms. This is so dumb. When you get online you should respect people like you are having a conversation. You would not be on the phone with someone and say o really thx or shit that is funny lol. This sucks and just makes people lazier.

Post 15 by King Reeses (King of all Peanut Butter) on Monday, 07-Aug-2006 5:00:55

I have a couple more pet peeves lets see I can't stand one-sided people who only listens to one person's problem and automatically takes that persons side and blows the other persons story off without even listening wo that the other person has to day. I hate when people call you and then hang up right away.

Post 16 by Rune Knight (Ancient Demon - Darkness will always conquer Light!) on Monday, 07-Aug-2006 5:22:41

Ah yes that'd be another one of my Pet Peaves as well. like a coin it has two sides, heads and tails as we all know. The same particular scenario goes for any situation concerning the parties involved. You don't know all the detail until you've heard both sides.

Post 17 by UnknownQuantity (Account disabled) on Monday, 07-Aug-2006 6:14:38

Hmm, my pet peeves would have to be people who are dishonest, think they're better than everyone else, and drama queens.

Post 18 by Goblin (I have proven to myself and the world that I need mental help) on Monday, 07-Aug-2006 7:42:12

Attention seekers who never listen they only want to be noticed.Pretencious Scot's trying so hard to be americans,americans appearing on Scottish tv advertising crap, the black announcer on radio 4, who loves the sound of his own voice, patronising tv/radio presenters

Post 19 by cjohnmurph (Newborn Zoner) on Thursday, 18-Oct-2007 21:23:33

One of my bigest pet pieves is when someone doesn't identify themselvs when they come up to me.

Post 20 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Friday, 19-Oct-2007 0:16:24

If I have amde a phone cal to someone, I expect it to be returned as promptly as possible, no later. I don't like having to wait if it's something important.

Post 21 by soaring eagle (flying high again!) on Friday, 19-Oct-2007 10:58:31

mine are:
1. calls that take up space on my answering machine.
2. Everyone on a plane who has to call as soon as the plane lands and man can some people be loud
3. people who don't respond to a qn even if its to say I don't chat.
4. no place to smoke inside especially in the winter.
5. People not asking you a question but asking the person your with the question.
6. drivers who turn right on red even though they are suppose to wait.
7. people who judge you with out knowing you.

Post 22 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Friday, 19-Oct-2007 12:14:51

yes, I'd have to agree on the last one.

Post 23 by Miss Gorgeous (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Friday, 19-Oct-2007 12:47:52

1. Calling my phone really late at night like 1:00 in the morning or sometimes like 3:00. That is just so inconsiderate.
2. When you're on the phone with someone and they say they'll call you back in a few minutes, but then they never call you back.
3. People who are narrow minded about everything, and wouldn’t consider other perspectives.
4. People who whine and complain too much. Instead of complaining about it, why don’t you start on the task.
5. Dishonest people and people who lie all the time.
6. People that have too much pride on them
that they don’t know or not want to appologize even though they know they did something wrong.
7. When you are in line getting food, and someone else constantly changes their order or keeps adding things to their order holding up the line.
8. I don’t like people who smoke.
9. People calling you to talk about absolutely nothing.
10. People who don’t know how to discipline or control themselves for instance, people getting too addicted to drinking, drugs, and sex.
11. Annoying people who talk really loud on the phone while they are in public.
12. Oh, this should be in number one but I just thought about it now. People with bad personal hygiene.
13. People who don’t want to help themselves, and people who are insecure about their appearance and ends up being all pessimistic about everything.
14. Spoiled brats, and those that are materialistic and greedy.
15. Last, people that makes a big deal out of something really pointless.

Post 24 by nikos (English words from a Greek thinking brain) on Friday, 19-Oct-2007 13:23:29

blind parents who don't let their children to do anything on their own and when they grow up they are not indipendent, blind people who expect others to do everything for them without trying but also on the other hand people who obviously might have difficulty doing something but thing is bad asking for help.
And also people who write the same things as previous posters in this topick lol.

Post 25 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Wednesday, 24-Oct-2007 13:32:37

For those of you who are totally blind and live with sighted people, I just thought of this one. When I've put something where I know I'll be able to find it later, and someone goes and moves it without telling me first, that annoys the shit out of me. This is sometimes the case with my mom, but she's gotten much better about not touching stuff in my room.

Post 26 by nikos (English words from a Greek thinking brain) on Wednesday, 24-Oct-2007 14:31:57

lol. Now reading my own post. Did i say blind parents? I ment parents with blind children lol.

Post 27 by purple penguin (Don't you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.) on Wednesday, 24-Oct-2007 14:58:16

I guesss blind parents could do the same.
my roomates leave all their dishes in the sink and that is so anoying!

Post 28 by nikos (English words from a Greek thinking brain) on Wednesday, 24-Oct-2007 15:13:06

Yes and when they live their clothes in the washing machine this is also anoying. And roomates who take your food from the frich as well.

Post 29 by purple penguin (Don't you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.) on Wednesday, 24-Oct-2007 15:16:03

At least they don't do that.

They are very good at leaving stuff. They leave stuff on the kitchen counter for weeks. I bet 10 weeks later the same water bottle and piece of paper is still going to be there.

Post 30 by Lithium (Generic Zoner) on Wednesday, 24-Oct-2007 21:00:34

Bad hygiene. Especially females. It drives me crazy, and I have been known to speak quite loudly about it in public when I notice it.

Others laying on my pillow. I can’t share my pillow with no one. Not even my best friend can lay on it. I don’t know why I’m like that.

People not washing their hands. Oh, man, have you ever been in a bathroom stall and heard the person just walk out of the stall and right on threw the door? Oh, every time that happens I just want to roast them so bad. Talk about disgusting.

Cane grabbing. Oh, this right here gets me irate. A taxi driver grabs your cane to lead you. I swear when they do that it just makes me want to swing. Don’t touch my fucking cane pal! I just usually jerk it right out of their hand.

My local grocery store. Every single time I go to buy food, with out fail, I walk up to the customer service desk, and tell the lady that I need assistance around the store for my groceries, and her famous line is, “What do you need assistance with?” It never ever fails. Um, well? Lady? I’m in a grocery store telling you I need assistance with my groceries, and you still ask that retarded question? Lol, I haven’t said that to her, but yeah, I sure think it. It would be different if I thought she was hard of earing, but she can’t be, because she hears every thing else I say just fine.

Complete strangers wanting to use my cell phone. I lie to you not, more often than not, I will be riding the buses and some one will ask if they can use my cell phone. Hell naw! I don’t know you like that. I’m a nice person, but hey it’s down town Nashville. Call your drug man on some one elses phone. Yes, I do say something along those lines every time they ask.

Over helpful people. Another bus situation. I don’t know if anyone has experience this, but have you just been trying to find your right bus, and a slow person comes and grabs you, with out a word, and tries to put you on just any old bus whether it’s the right one or not. I’m not knocking people who have mental problems, but it makes me uncomfortable, and they don’t listen when you insist you don’t need help. I get annoyed, because it distracts me, and I have to get my groundings again. See, in Nashville there is a work shop for people with disabilities. You know, making chin straps and what not. So you see a lot of the slow type at the bus shelter. Again, I’m not making fun of people who were given a different hand of cards than me, but I still don’t like it.

Post 31 by purple penguin (Don't you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.) on Wednesday, 24-Oct-2007 23:20:53

The cane thing is super anoying. The overly helpfull people mean well I guess.

Post 32 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Thursday, 25-Oct-2007 0:47:03

guess I'm fortunate enough not to have ... well, at least one of those things happen to me. One girl, who had some mental problems, was walking with me to one of my classes at my middle school, and this was public school, and as I'm walking along, trying to use my cane, she's holding it by the middle while I have it by its handle, and tapping with every other step I took. Thankfully, a teacher saw it, and told her off. since then, I've learned to speak up for myself.

Post 33 by torian princess (The original Blakanadian.) on Saturday, 27-Oct-2007 19:04:27

1: people who say "Ax" instead of "ask",
2: People asking other people about you when your standing right there,
3: When your talking to someone and they walk away with out telling you,
and I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of them.

Post 34 by Godzilla-On-Toast (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Saturday, 27-Oct-2007 20:51:48

Personally, I can do without blind folks who spend most of their time pointing out which blind folks are sad and pathetic and otherwise being picky and judgmental. This includes issues like whether one has any sighted friends or not or other personal choices. Unless you treat everyone, sighted and blind exactly the same way, there ain't no damn excuse!

Post 35 by TheLeslieThing (I can't call it a day til I enter the zone BBS) on Saturday, 03-Nov-2007 16:16:15

Here are my list of pet peeves

1. fonies.
2. two faced people
3. Liars,
4.people who think they own the world.
5. telemarketers
6. people who say they're gonna call you, and then you wait for the person to call you for hours and they never call you.
7. sited people who think that blindpeople can't do jack diddley shit.
8. the smel of cigaret smoke.
that's my list. I'll post here if I think of anymore.

Leslie.

Post 36 by Miss Gorgeous (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Saturday, 03-Nov-2007 17:51:17

I forgot to add on my last post "eating with your mouth full and then talking at the same time." That was not a good thing to be seen, but people still do it.

Post 37 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Saturday, 03-Nov-2007 17:52:55

Ugh, I hate that last one.

Post 38 by TheLeslieThing (I can't call it a day til I enter the zone BBS) on Saturday, 03-Nov-2007 21:15:31

Oh yes!! and here's my favorite, having people on msn not talk to you until you say tou're doing a clean up, and then all of a sudden, you get tuns of people writing to you. and it's like... why the fuck couldn't they talk to you before you were doing the clean up? that's rediculus.

Post 39 by Diane (Missing a Friend!) on Saturday, 03-Nov-2007 22:16:48

1. People who do not discipline/control themselves or their children.

2. People who use poor grammar.

3. People who think they are entitled to special treatment, just because they are blind.

4. Guys who either pee on the seat or leave the seat up.

5. Girls who pee on the seat (just how does that happen anyway, never mind, I don’t want to know.)

6. When people swear undying allegiance to a political party, but cannot tell you anything about their candidates platform, strengths, views or political policies.

7. When people tell me to forward an e-mail to said number of people or something terrible will happen. That’s just dumb. Sometimes, even if it is a cool e-mail worth sharing, I delete it, just because it has that kind of “the world will end if you don’t pass this along” line in it.

8. When someone puts a coke in the freezer to cool it quickly and they forget that it is in there and it explodes all over the freezer. Put it in a plastic bag, so if you forget, at least the mess is confined.

9. When meetings do not start on time, because the leader is waiting for the latecomers to arrive. Go ahead and start. Don’t punish those of us who managed to get there on time. If you always wait for them, they will continue to come in late.

10. When people own pets, but never spend any time with them. They are all gun hoe for getting their new friend to begin with, but then they get busy with life and ignore the pet. They end up blaming the dog for being out of control or destructive. If you’re just going to stick the dog in the backyard and gripe about it when you have to do something for it, like feed it, then just get a pet rock and make yourself and the animal population much happier. This rings true also for those people who have kids that they just don’t seem to want. Buy a doll and toss it away when you are done playing house and keep the innocent kiddos out of it!

Post 40 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Sunday, 04-Nov-2007 6:21:25

I have to say, my mother's a two-faced person. I've talked to her about why she comes off as sounding nice and normal when we have company, but when she speaks to me or other members of the immediate family, she sounds bitchy all the time, and doesn't say please and thank you. When she wants me to do something, it's always an order. Do you know what her excuse was? "I can't control it." To me, that's a bunch of bullshit. So, another pet peeve of mine is poor excuses for behavior that's not acceptable, and coming from an adult, that's just sad. especially, as it's an adult who should have set an example for her children while raising them.

Post 41 by Godzilla-On-Toast (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Monday, 05-Nov-2007 2:11:32

People in general, as I said on a similar topic. LOL, well, kind of. How about people who apologize for having opinions of their own when they should just speak their minds and get their point made.

Post 42 by Blue Velvet (I've got the platinum golden silver bronze poster award.) on Tuesday, 06-Nov-2007 14:41:26

I had a pet peave once, but it got sick and had to be put down.

Don't you just hate people who won't take a topic seriously? That's one of my biggest pet peaves.

Post 43 by blbobby (Ooo you're gona like this!) on Tuesday, 06-Nov-2007 16:37:50

One of my pet peeves is people who say they hate something and then do it. For example, I knew this lady once who said,
"Don't you just hate people who won't take a topic seriously? That's one of my biggest pet peaves." and yet that's what she did.
Do you know anyone like that?

Bob

My roommates. They are very 2 faced also.

Post 45 by nikos (English words from a Greek thinking brain) on Wednesday, 07-Nov-2007 7:52:16

I have got another one.
People who will call me or speak to me on messengers only if they need help with something or they need something in general. They won't speak to me just to see how i am.

Post 46 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Wednesday, 14-Nov-2007 16:56:40

people who call me on Skype just to have me join a conference, then call another person, and with said person, start doing something like playing Miriani as I sit there feeling awkward. where's the politeness in that? only one person did that to me, and didn't even bother to apologize for his rudeness. Hint: It's someone who rarely comes on here anymore. should I block him? i'm thinking of doing it, but that might seem ... er ... for lack of a better word, childish.

Post 47 by Diane (Missing a Friend!) on Wednesday, 14-Nov-2007 17:19:01

How about those people who start everything they share with a group, like in a class discussion with, "I was just going to say," and then they say what they were going to say. Why not say it without announcing that you're just going to say it. They are the same people who end what they were just going to say with "you know?" Well if we knew, then why just say it. LOL.


I was just going to say that I was wanting to say hi to Nikos today and see how he is doing without asking him to help me with something , you know? :) Seriously, I had to really agree with Nikos' last post!

Post 48 by purple penguin (Don't you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.) on Wednesday, 14-Nov-2007 17:24:24

I know a person like that. They drag everything out. It takes them five minutes to say something that might take 10 seconds. Ok exagerating a bit but still.
then there are those people who appoligize as they walk by. for what? They didn't run in to me.

Post 49 by Godzilla-On-Toast (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Saturday, 17-Nov-2007 7:12:18

I had a pet peeve once, but of course I had to live in the only city where you couldn't go and get Purina Pet Peeve Chow anywhere for some reason. Luckily I discovered it likes cinnamon Tic-Tacs. Hahahahahaha!I still don't know why it ran away, though.

Also, a tiny bit of advice to those whose pet peeve is people who are two-faced, fake, or just downright hypocrites. You'd better get used to it, because that's human nature all over, unless you feel it would be more satisfying to just become a misanthrop, that is, a person who hates all people no matter what.

Post 50 by nikos (English words from a Greek thinking brain) on Saturday, 17-Nov-2007 7:26:50

Another one i have is when people disagree with others but instead of trying to explain why they start calling the person who doesn't agree different names not nice names lol. I think this is not smart in my oppinion. If somebody hasn't got anything to say just be quiet or try and explain the disagreement. By calling the other person stupit or whatever comes to their mind they proove that they are the stupit once.

Post 51 by Godzilla-On-Toast (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Sunday, 18-Nov-2007 9:21:37

I know I should really be accepting of double standards as typical human behavior, I still ahve to say that it bothers me when people act as if they can say or do whatever they feel like to others without apology or regard to their feelings, and yet they demand others better not annoy or otherwise hurt their feelings or there will be a hefty price to pay. I feel if a person sees the feelings of others are unimportant, it should regard its own feelings as equally unimportant. Yeah, that'll be the day, right?

That's my mom in a nutshell.

and two other pet peeves to add to my lengthening list:

(one) people who have their cell phones with them while traveling, but keep them off all the time.
(two) people who leave conferences either on MSN or skype without letting the other participants know. That's very inconsiderate!

Post 54 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Thursday, 29-Nov-2007 11:25:44

and yet another one:

people who say they're going to be on Skype to conference about something important, don't show up, and then when they are asked about why they never turned up, they use the excuse, "I forgot."

Oh gods. I hate it when people move things on me! That's actually a little more than a pet peve, but anyway... Also littering and driving unnecessarily (for example, nice day and you drive one or two short blocks to the post office or the local deli).

Post 56 by singingsensation (I just keep on posting!) on Saturday, 22-Dec-2007 20:43:36

My list of pet peeves is listed below:
1. bad hygiene
2. people saying that blind people are amazing
3. people that talk really loud when it isn't necessary
I'll post if I can think of any more.

I have another. I hate it when people ignore you for no damn reason and they don't tell you why and they just stop talking to you leaving you wondering what the fuck you did. And people who can't choose their own friends they let people dictate who they associate with man i hate those people.

O yeah! Thankc Macy. That's one of my pet peeves too, when idiot people, especially your parents and their friends, say you're brilliant being able to do this, you're amazing being able to do that or you're fantastic being able to do the other. I mean, blimey, the only difference between them and me is that they have sight and I don't have sight and aw'w'w, just, gur'r'r'r'r'r'r! Get a grr'r'r'r'rip!

Definitely bad grammar/spelling and excessive use of Netspeak.

Also, as far as blindness is concerned, I would definitely consider the following to be among my pet peeves:

1. When I am with someone who is sighted and someone else will ask a question to the person whom I am with when they clearly should have just asked me. This happened quite often in the cafeteria line while I was in high school, when the lady at the counter would sometimes ask my friends if I wanted a cookie, drink, etc.
2. When people are absolutely amazed that I am able to travel on an airplane by myself. I have thought about this one quite often recently. (My grandparents are going to drop me off at the airport next week so that I can catch my flight back to school. They tend to worry about me traveling and were asking a million questions about various logistics, and my mom and I were trying to tell them that everything would be fine.) I mean, I can certainly understand how people who do not know any better would be impressed by a totally blind person being to travel independently, but at the same time, it can get quite annoying to be asked such questions not normally asked of other 19-year-olds, especially by family who should really know better in my opinion.

Post 61 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Monday, 14-Jan-2008 20:36:42

Yes, excessive use of bad grammar, spelling, and punctuation, or lack thereof, really bothers me as well.

Post 62 by sea star (I just keep on posting!) on Thursday, 05-Jun-2008 17:46:16

1. people who say they call you back, and they never do.
2. bad grammar and punctuation.
3. people who talk over you.

Post 63 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Thursday, 05-Jun-2008 18:26:49

Heres mine.
people who smoke.
Excessive use of acronyms.
bad spelling.
bad grammar and punctuation.
people who say that they think of more pet peeves, they will post them, then forget about it.

Post 64 by bozmagic (The rottie's your best friend if you want him/her to be, lol.) on Thursday, 05-Jun-2008 18:37:00

O yeah, also, idiot couriers who don't ring the sodding bell when they try to deliver a parcel which needs signing for if there isn't a damn car in the driveway. Er, sorry durr, I don't drive, so Mrs. Next door usually waits till she sees mum's car in the drive then comes round to drop the parcel off, your mum answers the door worst luck, when you know what's inside the parcel, she ain't gonna aprove of, lmfaolmfaolmfao. Put it this way, that happened to me this evening and it just had to be those expressly forbidden fruits/sweets, lmfao, from aquarterof.com, oopsy!

I hate jermophobes, delivery people who beg for tips, when sighteds get pissed off because I refuse their assistance, people who add you to messenger skype or whatever and never talk, when people log out in the middle of a text chat without saying anything, being given the weather during a conversation (people who spit when they talk!), slobbery dogs, little kids who want you to do that funny thing over and over and over again, people who are preachy or are always giving advice, stingyness, people who always sound like they need to clear their throats (makes me want to do it for them!), the sound of a pot or plate being scraped with a fork or spoon, Curtacy shoppers who walk too damn slow and/or don't know where anything is, sighteds, especially guys, who lead me by the hand (I'm not your girlfriend!), being grabbed, pushed or otherwise touched without warning by sighted strangers (I don't think I'll ever get use to this), when someone you're sitting next to on a plane bus train whatever falls asleep and leans on you, when a friend who isn't making any money from some pyramid skeem is always trying to sell it to you, and as if being blind wasn't enough, I have to be the youngest sibling, and I hate that; no respect! I think I have more but can't remember them now.

Post 67 by guest2014 (Generic Zoner) on Thursday, 12-Mar-2009 1:27:36

Mine's when someone CLEARLY is not interested in what I have to say, but pretends they are: "uh-huh...right...lol...oh, great, yeah, fantastic...uhh, yeah, I see..." etc.. Cmon, peeps - either express interest, or stop pretending that you do! Lol.

Post 68 by SunshineAndRain (I'm happily married, a mom of two and a fulltime college student.) on Thursday, 12-Mar-2009 1:36:52

Ok, here's mine:
1. Stupidity; I know, some people can't help it, but I'm allowed to hate it; after all, people are allowed to hate me for being somewhat intelegent, right?
2. Ignorance; that includes racism, homophobia, sexism, people against the rights of disabled or people with other special needs, rudeness like being stared at, pushed or whispered about, and the waitress asking your sighted or nondisabled friend/family member what you want; these all fall under ignorance to me and I hate them.
3. Immaturity; people who fart and burp obnoxiously in public, people who smoke and don't have a care in the world where they smoke or whose around them that could have a bad reaction to the cigarette smoke, unnecessary spelling and grammar errors that are done on purpose to seem cool, people who are constantly trying to cause drama and get attention, whining and sniveling.
4. Selfishness; cutting in lines, stealing, lying, cheating, incessant complaining, speaking at an inapropriate time, such as when others are speaking, different things like that. These aren't all my pet peeves, believe it or not. I have a lot of them; but they're just some.

I can't stand it when the light's red and you're trying to cross the street and cars still drive.

Post 70 by turricane (happiness and change are choices ) on Friday, 17-Apr-2009 16:03:49

people who say "that's not my job."

People who say "what do you mean you are blind? I don't get it." This happens a lot to me typically with folks under 30. If I'm annoyed enough I have been known to say "i am blind. my eyes don't work. they are broke. what's wrong with your brain for goodness sake."

people who call me an inspiration. usually this is for something like getting dressed or cooking a meal or whatever.

people who i make mad, and they don't have the strength to tell me. they go tell their husband who tells my husband who tells me. 'xcuse me, I know I could be a bitchorama, but talk to me.

Post 71 by hi5 (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Friday, 17-Apr-2009 17:26:11

haha to that last post! I hate these blind people who enter themselves into your conversation. For example, a friend and I went to this career and technology function at a blind camp, and we were seated on a bench chatting. some blind chick we never met comes sits down and starts talking it was clearly a private conversation by the way, but she was just so friendly and eager to be apart of it. gosh learn some social skills!

Post 72 by Maiden of the Moonlight (Zone BBS is my Life) on Wednesday, 03-Jun-2009 4:43:17

Lmao, Lindsay, my lunch lady at school always does that! Did you ask her if she wants a cookie? Does she want some vegies? Omg, it always gets me so mad! Then, she goes and rampages on about how great that particular friend of mine is for helping me out. Once, she even kept us standing there telling us some story about her grand daughter helping a blind girl out at her school. And then she said something about how God will reward her or something. Gosh that all was rather irritating.

I also agree with the one about pointless posts to a topic. If you know you have nothing good to say, or you aren't contributing to the discussion, stay out? Haha

And yeah humans in general bother me sometimes. Like the fact that we're all hypocrites and shit. I mean, I could say I hate hypocrites and liars and all that, and I do, but that's like saying I hate everyone, including me. Lmao. I guess I just hate those parts of human nature.

Post 73 by Feathered Serpent (I can't call it a day til I enter the zone BBS) on Wednesday, 03-Jun-2009 20:37:58

1. people who call you over and over again. That's why you have voice mail.
2. People why grab your cane.
3. People why ask the person next to you a question about you.
4. smoking.
5. Going to party's with extremely loud music.
That's is. For now.

Post 74 by Feathered Serpent (I can't call it a day til I enter the zone BBS) on Wednesday, 03-Jun-2009 20:40:19

oh yeah and people who grab you in the street and talk to you about how you are just an Innocent person and that is why you well sea some day in heaven.
