Title: What are your pet peeves?
Post by: xox.happy1.xox on December 12, 2008, 08:56:19 pm
Well, I absolutely HATE it when people are too nice! I mean, my ex-boyfriend was WAY too nice (flowers, teddy bears, chocolates, everything) and I got sick of it! (Not to mention 'The Notebook' as a DVD XD).

I also hate it when I'm at the movies, and this stupid idiot in the front row HAS to make some commentary. I mean, let us watch the movie for goodness sake! We don't care if you like [insert actor/actress here] or not, we paid to watch this movie, not to listen to some D grade commentary! And we don't think you're funny either, you are just a dumbass who deserves a good spanking...  >:(.

I also hate people who think they're top shit. Good, you think you're the best, so what? 2 years from now, nobody will care about what you do, or how big your trash can of a house is (or your repulsive money tin in which you call a wallet). I hope they all get a taste of their own medicine. Modesty FTW ^^

Soo... What are your pet peeves?

Elderly people that think respect is a GIVEN due to their age, and as a result, they can be as rude as they want to everyone else. I'm not saying we shouldn't respect them; but respect is a two-way thing and I've seen some pretty horrible things especially on public transport.

YES what shin said!

I didn't know boyfriends could be "too nice" Alana .... :P

I can't stand arrogance. I value modesty as one of the most important traits in a person ... that's why I worship people like Ahmad and Neobeo xD

Oh and I HATE those people that drive around at like 2am with music blasting out of their cars ... you are not top shit, you are a bunch of low-life bogan morons!

I cant stand the wannabe muzza/gangsters at my school, thinking they're all hard with their open-house parties and stuff. It pisses me off because nearly half of the year level acts like this, and when the hard working students try to learn or contribute,they get laughed at. I cant wait for results day next year, so I can see their faces when they dont get any of their preferences.

People constantly talking when others are talking (assembly, classroom, lectures). one/two worded quick whispers are fine.

When people say: "I'm so fat" when clearly, they are not.

Oh yup. This used to annoy me in the engineering systems design lectures because people at the back  ALWAYS talked.


A pet peeve of mine would have to be slow people walking in front of me. GRRR!!!

Girls who work their way around the room butchering other girls' appearance in terms of their fashion sense, hairstyle, beauty, features, etc. They have no idea how superficial, shallow and above all hurtful they are. I show no respect for these people. (I went to an all girls' school, and this activity was especially popular on free dress days. Of course, not all of us are like that, but those who exhibit these qualities I completely fail to tolerate.)

People who think their mother country is better than Australia... I mean if you loved living there so much, what the hell are you doing here?
People who walk slow in general
When people talk loudly whilst you're trying to concentrate..
People who lie...
People who are arrogant
People who swear a lot
And many other little things other people have said

Also, people who think it's okay to smoke in my face, and not even apologise. I swear, in the city today, I passed how many people who just blew smoke in my face without a care in the world? Why do people think it's cool to smoke, and drink for that matter? I think it is a repulsive trait which should not be taken light-heatedly, by any person whatsoever. And the worst part is, I will probably get lung cancer before they do because of all the second-hand smoke I am exposed to just having a brisk walk throughout the city. I hate how my body is being affected more than their bodies are when it comes to smoking.

To end this, I will never marry a smoker. :P (And sorry if I offended any smokers here, they just sometimes, really get on my nerves.)

I hate it when people lie about sexual encounters they've had, and talk about it continuously until they incriminate themselves even further. Like some guys I know will crap on about how they like totally "screwed 3 girls last night", and later you find out that they left the party early and didn't hook up with anyone at all. Why the hell would people lie about that crap to me? I don't even care. What makes people think I even want to hear about their sexual experiences with [fictitious] randoms? Argh.

I go to a uni-sex school and hear that all the time. I'd say 95% of the time is bullcrap. They just think it gives them respect and attention amongst their peers. I'm not sure why they spill that crap out to you (maybe they want your attention? :P) but I can understand why they brag about their sexcapades to their friends and anyone around them. As expected they'll be happy to answer any questions asked about their "erotic" experiences.

So true... hate it when people smoke near me... >_> I feel like I'm choking, oh and people who smell, I mean it really annoys me when someone smells, I feel like I need to throw up.

Oh and I hate it when people judge others just by the way they look... Just because I dress conservatively, does not mean I'm boring :( >_>

My rant was primarily about smoking, and I just so happened to mention drinking... By the way, I won't be drinking anytime soon, I have Uni next year, and need a clear mind for it. (Besides, I'm not 18 yet, so there is no point in me drinking). And I know from other sources that it tastes bad, is bad for your health and can cause significant damage in the future. There are really no positives to drinking as well as smoking, so I will stay the way I am thank you very much.

oh and to my rant:

i hate people who keep discriminating others for going out with mates and having a good time while they tay home complainig about how others can be so reckless and no think about others when in reality all they're doing is having fun, socializing and going out while YOU'RE at home doing nothing! (There are alot of trouble makers out there anyway but you can act in illegal ways inside the comfor t of your home anyway, such as downloading pirated movies etc etc.)

i hate people who walk so slow while i'm holding a tray full of food at work.

i don't mind people who walk slow on the streets because i just push them and don't give a fuck if they get pissed off.

i hate old hags who look at you in the tram expecting you'll move because they're old and DESERVE respect even though you've never seen them before.

i people bitches who keep saying i'm so dumb, i'm so ugly, i'm so fat! FOR GODS SAKE, GO AFRICA AND YOU'LL SEE HOW FAT YOU ARE BITCH!

i hate how everyone stereotypes everyone else. Like some people think they're so modest blah but on the other hand, are hyprocritical by criziting others of "acting too cool" or "thinking they're top shit."

I had a stalker who was infatuated with me - he'd threaten to kill himself if I didn't date him AND had the nerve to mutilate himself for my pity. I know exactly what you mean.

I hate stalkers... (Not to mention one of my previous boyfriends, who would make numerous MSN accounts and pretend to be other people and try to make places to arrange a dinner with me and ask for my address [when he already knew it]...) Thank goodness I'm single now. :P

Yes, he'd call my cell phone and house phone and (seriously) breathe into it to scare me. Or consistently call and beg to talk. I had to threaten the police on him many many times. I honestly feared for my life!

I also hate it when my boyfriend throws his smelly clothes that he was wearing whilst playing sport (which are drenched in muddy water, sweat and dirt) on the floor/on my bed/on top of my nice clean clothes :( 

He does it all the time, argh, despite saying, "ok sorry sorry sorry sorry, it won't happen again ok ok ok ok, just wasn't thinking" everytime I tell him off for it :P

I dont like it when people ask to listen to songs on my ipod, or ask to share one of the earphones with me.

Similarly I dont like it when people decide to listen to their ipod and be anti social whilst in a group.

I swear, the first thing I do next year is delete my Myspace so people don't invade with my private life. :S

I don't have fb or myspace either.

[I draw, paint, design, decorate (rooms, cakes, you name it), oh and make jewellery! and I love decorating at christmas :D, do singing and playing the guitar count as creative? Lol I did write a few songs back in the day; -wow I sound old-]

Oh and that annoys me too... I yell out at my dad every time someone does that infront of him [the indicator light on too fast thing] WATCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OUTTTTTTTTTTTT! LOL
Then my dad says, Odette I've been driving for over 30 years now, I know what to do in these cases...I can't wait til you start driving, see how well you handle being behind the wheel. >_> I hate it when he says that. :(

The irony is that I was saying how worried I was bout my co-worker the other nite when she was driving home tired @ 1am when all the roads were flooded and she has 2 drive thru the same rural-ish area I was driving thru @ that point in time XD

People talking or texting on their mobile phones while driving! I almost got hit by a truck less then a week after I got my L's, because the driver was too busy pressing the little buttons, while driving on a main road!

Slow walkers are a pain, especially in the city. And those creepy, old, drunk people on trains that smell like a moldy towel soaked in bourbon..Yuck! And to top it off they pick to sit next to any young girl even when there are PLENTY of spare seats elsewhere.

ASLDKHGA;LSKDJF;LAJPOQWEITU; lol!!!

I have his home #, but he prefers me not to call it because he says his dad will probably pick up the phone and he'll cop stacks of teasing from his parents and siblings, which he doesn't want because they don't know the extent of our relationship yet, they only know that we're "really good friends"...but he hasn't ORDERED me not to call him at home. So I think I'll give him a call on his home # today...although I'm sorta hesitating about it...:S

Another pet peeve of mine: PEOPLE WHO FEEL THE NEED TO LIE TO IMPLY THAT THEY ARE "ABOVE" YOU.
The other day I went to yum cha with my mum and 3 of her "old lady" friends...I really hate one of them because she's exactly like that, always has to be above you. So she pestered my mum into telling her my ENTER score. And about 5 mins later she just HAS to slip into the table conversation that when her son graduated 5 years ago, he "yeah you know, got, like, 99 point something..."
...which mum and I know is a blatant LIE because this 'friend' once told mum that her son had scored in the very low 98s and hence missed out on Commerce/Law!!! Not to mention, after mum and I said that I'm doing "just Arts" next year (we don't like to talk things up too much), she kept on acting like she didn't believe that I'd scored 98.75 at all, and kept asking us, "so why are you just doing Arts then, if you got that score? Aren't you wasting your score? Huh? HUH?!?!?!". ...Rudeness much?! And I find it very sad that a 60 yr old person feels the need to do this.

I have his home #, but he prefers me not to call it because he says his dad will probably pick up the phone and he'll cop stacks of teasing from his parents and siblings, which he doesn't want because they don't know the extent of our relationship yet, they only know that we're "really good friends"...but he hasn't ORDERED me not to call him at home. So I think I'll give him a call on his home # today...although I'm sorta hesitating about it...:S

Another pet peeve of mine: PEOPLE WHO FEEL THE NEED TO LIE TO IMPLY THAT THEY ARE "ABOVE" YOU.
The other day I went to yum cha with my mum and 3 of her "old lady" friends...I really hate one of them because she's exactly like that, always has to be above you. So she pestered my mum into telling her my ENTER score. And about 5 mins later she just HAS to slip into the table conversation that when her son graduated 5 years ago, he "yeah you know, got, like, 99 point something..."
...which mum and I know is a blatant LIE because this 'friend' once told mum that her son had scored in the very low 98s and hence missed out on Commerce/Law!!! Not to mention, after mum and I said that I'm doing "just Arts" next year (we don't like to talk things up too much), she kept on acting like she didn't believe that I'd scored 98.75 at all, and kept asking us, "so why are you just doing Arts then, if you got that score? Aren't you wasting your score? Huh? HUH?!?!?!". ...Rudeness much?! And I find it very sad that a 60 yr old person feels the need to do this. 

Yeh i hate it when family friends come over and just start bragging about how smart their kids are and all they do is talk about academics. Seriously GET A LIFE!!!

I hate people who think they can constantly tease me and say whatever they feel like (both over the Internet and in real life). I'm guaranteed to loathe them for life, and develop certain stigma attached to them. Why do they think it's cool to tease others? :'(

:o who is teasing you? do i need to make a phone call? ;)


Lol, it was just at school and stuff... You don't know them, I assume? ;)

Alana... I can find out ;) and we can teach them a lesson :P

They are my ultimate pet peeve! :)

My current biggest pet peeve: PEOPLE NOT PICKING UP THEIR BLOODY PHONES OR RETURNING CALLS when you've been trying to contact them for about 4 days!!!

(Been trying to call a *veeeeeeeeeery close* (lol) guy friend of mine for 4 days now because he said he wanted to see me this week. But all of a sudden he has just stopped answering his phone/msgs lol! We haven't fought or anything like that so there must be a rational explanation but STILL it's driving me up the wall lol!!!)

My uncle brags bout my cousin way 2 much and puts 2 much pressure on her, imho.

I think his competitive streak and out-of-control ego won't be able 2 cope if she ends up getting an ENTER lower than mine when she does year 12 in a couple of years.

Parents shouldn't live thru their kids like that.

I also hate people who can't keep their mouths shut. When I was walking through Melbourne Central (birthday thing XD), I could hear everyone's conversations (albeit I never wanted to). Sometimes people need to be quiet and let others think, because I couldn't talk to anyone whilst I could overhear what they were saying. :S

Well, sometimes their conversations can  get uber annoying, and I hate people with squeaky voices (bahhh) they make it twice as difficult to tolerate. But sometimes it's funny, but overall annoying. :P

Tell me about it! I don't get family friends I get relatives... they call from overseas saying my son/daughter just got into medicine/law/nuclear physics/engineering at university... I can't help it if I'm the dumb one in the family >_> Oh and of course who could forget the 6 or so poets in the family >_> Then you get my mother saying... "oh Odette is studying to be an accountant" and they reply "oh that's an alright job... I guess"

Oh and of course, mother starts yelling at me saying "Odette why did you turn out like this? You're a disgrace to the family!" ....I reply "Well mother you're not exactly a rocket scientist now are you?" (and whack),  then I run off to my room
