Pet Peeves - 07/12/05 10:04 PM
Any Pet Peeves out there?
Mine (and Yes - I've got a lot of them!):
When people use the name of the restaurant as the name of the food. example: I ate (or had) McDonalds for lunch. No, you WENT to McDonalds. You ATE a Big Mac and fries.
People that say "sherbeRt" in reference to the frozen ice-cream-like dessert...I've looked in a dictionary and there's no "r" in the word. It's SHERBET.
Women who refuse to eat an actual meal in a restaurant on a date. God forbid they eat something besides a tiny garden salad and seltzer water. These same women will pig out on ice cream at their next Tupperware party or PartyLite candle meeting.
Idiot liberals who think the death penalty is wrong but abortion is OK.
Anti-war buffoons who get arrested for FIGHTING at the protest
People like Cher that refuse to retire
People who don't use their turn signal or use it after they are already turning.
Overuse of the word "unfortunately," especially as a way of deflecting personal responsibility for a situation, and because the speaker thinks its use makes him/her sound more intelligent. (Also, the word "irregardless")
People who leave their grocery carts in the middle of the parking lot, when the cart parking area is twenty feet away.
On-screen logos and other view obstructiung graphics. Case in point, the coverage of Hurricane Dennis on CNN was, to me, unwatchable because the screen was half-filled with graphics. They want you to watch but it's only to show off their overuse of on-screen graphics. It happens on 99.9% of the other broadcasters as well.
People who do not know the proper use of the words "there", "they're" and "their".
The grammatical conundrum involving the proper use of "that" and "which"!
Roadside memorials
"That begs the question" used improperly.
Wives who dress like "weekend warriors" or truck drivers, or business MEN....then whine like little children when their husband "eyes" a woman who looks like a woman.
People who refuse gainful employment.
People who assume the worse.
Professional Victims
People who refuse to remove their Kerry Edwards bumper stickers 8 months after the election.
People who drive too slow.
Lawyers in general.
Barbara Boxer thinking she matters.
The person who hit my car in the parking lot last week and took off.
Overpaid public employees.
NEW John Kerry bumper stickers
Stupidly loud music in a car
Stupidly low pants on boys
Buckhead Bettys in their really big SUVs who take up my time on the road
Politicians who claim to know what "the American people" want.
Politicians who throw the phrase "the world" around in the same way. ("The world stands with you.") The world is a mighty big place. Not everybody agrees.
People who call me and then put me on hold to answer the other line.
Liberals in general - although to me they're more of a laughingstock than a peeve.
People who eat or generally make a lot of noise on the phone. (yelling at their kids, flushing their toilet, etc)
Bitchy women
People who sit two car lengths back from the car ahead of them at traffic signals (leaving enough room to fit a semi) and causing traffic behind them to miss the green lights
People talking on cellphones who take their sweet time chatting away, oblivious to traffic behind them
Non-synchronized traffic signals (fuel wastage)
Visible butt-cracks....anyones!
Loud people in public places
People who drag their feet when they walk
Parents who let their children dress inappropriately for their age.
Couples who argue in front of others
Women who expect their men to be mind-readers
Baseball caps worn backwards
People who are mean to old people in public settings
Azzhats who dump animals off in the 'country' (my yard) instead of being responsible and getting them fixed.
Parents with crying kids who yell "I'll give you something to cry about"
Drama queens.
Clingy men.
Women who wear things they don't FIT in
Stupidly low pants on boys (and chubby girls)
People who try express their level of apathy by stating;
"I could care less." No, if you are truly apathetic, you couldn't care less.
Not getting a courtesy wave when I let someone merge in traffic
Too much cologne
"Crotch Rocket" motorcycles
People, when shown the truth, ignore it
A cart loaded with groceries in the 10 items or less line
People in long lines that act surprised when it is time to pay the cashier, and then count out pennies....
Meetings at the end of the day, especially on Friday.
Cell Phone Batteries
Power outages

My pet peeves include but are not limited to:
Stupid customers
My wife's constant nagging
Running out of whiskey
Stupid customers
Running out of cigarettes
Stupid customers
Friends who owe me money asking to borrow money
Certain Republicans who blindly follow a puppet on strings
Stupid customers
People who come to my house to try and "save me" what happened to the phrase, "Only God can judge me"??
Oh, and did I mention stupid customers?

* Keyboard players who can't keep their left hand away from the bass guitarist's territory.
* Drummers who don't listen to what anyone else in the band is playing.
* Lead guitar players who think they can play rhythm, but don't have a clue.
* Bass players who play lead guitar like it's a bass.
* Singers who whine that the stage volume of the bass or drums is too loud.
* Sound technicians who mute channels on the board without warning for no apparent reason.
* Ovation guitars.
Meat buyers who outbid normal use buyers for a horse. Especially when they laugh after doing so.

Oops! I'm guilty of that- sher-bert- yeck yea it sounds better than sher-bet. Oh well.
Liars and snobs I don't deal well with those. Only one word for people who leave the shopping carts in the parking lot- LAZY.
Other than that- I like being positive

People who say "Can I ax (or aks) you a question?" Last time I checked, it should be ask...
People who have nothing better to do than forward every joke, picture, cartoon or saying via email, then ask (ax) why i didnt respond to tell them how cute, funny or clever their 75 emails were today.
X-I agree with the graphics/logo on TV now-try watching ESPN's top plays-8 out of 10 times you dont see the catch, throw, dive, etc because of all the graphics, and the sound effects are just as bad.

I like crotch rockets, I just sold my Ducati.
Granted, though, some of those guys are just plain nuts. We were going across Alligator Alley last week at about 80 mph, and the one guy did a wheelie for about a 1/4 or 1/2 mile. I usually don't mind, but I was concerned that he was going to wipe out, and a second fear of me running someone over.

So true. I hate Line 6 and bassists shouldn't be allowed to own picks.
I also hate when bands really suck, yet they still act really snobby and spends tons of money in a recording studio. Being a sound engineering major, however, I'll probably have to get used to this.
I hate it when guitars try to harmonize when they're out of tune.
I hate when venues tell a band to stop in the middle of a song just to preserve a schedule.
I hate getting electrocuted by music equipment.
I hate everyone who repairs my guitar. They always screw up and/or overcharge me.

#1: Yes, the technology is truly lowering the bar talent-wise. It peeves me when a band sounds good on record but stinks live, i.e., Guns 'n Roses, Green Day, etc.

Well, well, I see that we have some--how shall I say it--umm, purists on BOL, so I'll add a couple of more.
* Finger tapping lead guitar style (for example, Eddie Van Halen, but not to be confused with acoustic fingerstyle tapping, for example, Michael Hedges & Phil Keaggy).
* Comments suggesting that "real" bass players don't use picks.
* When music store salesmen who you've never met before treat you like you're their best friend.
* People who are really just showing off at the music store when "testing" an instrument or amp.
* Mars Music stores.
* Rap "music."

I just wanted to say that those who are still confused by the "there, their, and they're situation", and those who incorrectly corrected the original poster, here's a handy dandy way to remember these.
There = location. Over there. We went there for lunch
Their = possessive. It's their game. I went to their house
They're = they are. They're going to the game with us.
So please, follow this easy to use method. And don't incorrectly correct people. It's rude...and a pet peeve of mine.

Yeah, I do take back my previous support of that belief. Sometimes there is a place for bassists to use a pick. I think the dude from Manowar uses one for his ridiculous solo! Although, I think that they should be able to switch between both. Same for guitarists. Although, I've never gotten into growing out my nails to use for fingerpicking. My guitar teacher does that, but it's not my thing.
Also, finger tapping solos are awesome!!!!!!!!!

I know someone who places an "s" on words where no "s" should ever be...anywheres, somewheres, nowheres. For me, it's equivalent to nails on a chalkboard.

So it’s agreed that the following statement:
People who don’t use there turn signal or use it after they are already turning.
Should actually be:
People who don’t use their turn signal or use it after they are already turning.

My old boss always said cent even if was plural. She would say One Dollar and Fifty Cent (Hum maybe she was really into rap and I didn't know it )

My biggest pet peeve is when my honey dips the knife into the peanut butter first, and then the jelly while making sandwiches. I don't like peanut butter and he is contaminating my jelly supply with peanut butter flavor! I keep trying to just buy him his own jelly...but somehow the problem persists...
I have the same problem in reverse...I hate jelly and my kids were ruining my peanut butter with a jelly covered knife. Buying squeezable jelly solved my problem...

Thank god we don't have serious issues like peanut butter in our jelly at our house
I'd probably have to take out a can of whoop arse
Although crumbs in the butter are a bit of an issue. Gosh the stresses we have to endure in life
Hahaha! Too funny! Like I said, I tried to buy him hiw own jelly but mine must taste better...even though it is the same flavor!
My father used to always take a bite out of my mother's food. Used to drive her crazy and of course he would just crack up. Same food, he would say, but it tastes better off her plate!

I have a girlfriend that does that...and it drives me nuts. One day when we were going to Wal-Mart she referred to it as Wal-Marts and I said **** there is no S...see look at the sign. She said I know...and still calls it Wal-Marts!!!

Squeezable jelly is the best.
And I must agree with the courtesy wave thing. I HATE that! The least you could do is give me a little wave!
I also hate it when people say Valentime's Day.

That reminds me of a character on Murphy Brown whose tag line was "that's alls I know." It drove her nuts.

Okay here are mine, and I'll probably come up with a couple more later....
1. It's Nordstrom, not Nordstrom's
2. Chewing with your mouth open
3. Guys that breathe too loud *Please refer to the Dating Problems thread**
4. Any kind of slurping, sniffing or constant throat clearing
5. Slow drivers in the left lane
More to come later, I'm sure....

Angelina darling...My great aunt purchased a home from the Nordstrom family many moons ago. The son of the then top Nordstrom (it was a family owned store) was kind enough to come to the property and burn down the home, then return when she rebuilt and burn down the next one.
We refer to Nordstrom as "Nordstrom's" because it's the Nordstrom's store in our mind still...and we feared the little match lovers for many years
so...Nordstrom's is a proper title for the store...but maybe only if you know the darned family

Dawnie - once again, way to much information about your family - trust me, no one cares about your family peccadilloes.
As stated above - it's Nordstrom, except if life events have left you with bubbles in your think tank.
Besides, it's people like you that are normally on the other end of the pet peeves noted above, so think of this thread as about you, big time.

_X_, quit picking on Dawnie. Obviously, you have a personality conflict with her, but the rest of us are sick of hearing about it. She has as much right to discuss what she wants as you do to list every little thing that ever bugged you in life. And yes, I understand that this post is hypocritical.

OMG, that is funny. People are looking at me like I'm crazy.
When I shop there it's Nordstrom. I have spent enough money there that I should be adopted into the family though, so hook me up Dawnie
