Pet Peeves

Cmarbagoi · **Posted:** Sat Feb 26, 2005 9:34 pm

When people mispell my user name.
I.E. "Hey Cmarbogoi!"
or "Sup Cmorbegoi?"
Need I spell it out?
C-M-A-R-B-A-G-O-I
If thee must, call me Cmar or Cmarb.

Also, I get annoyed when anyone tries to panhandle me something on the streets of New York. Another thing that "peeves" me is when someone tries to imitate another culture and fails misreably. For example, when someone would find out that I take Japanese in my school, they'd say something like "I know Japanese. Ching-Chong-Wong!" It's really annoying!

TODD: Okay. What point does it melt at?
BOB: Well, I'm testing it... Looks like about 32.6.

Especially when they're in R-rated ones and they swear and stuff.

You hit the nail on the head.
I have a Cell Phone, but I never bring it to school and show it off. I like it, though*.

Yeah, I get Acid Reflux when I eat things. I haven't been "officially" diagnosed with it, but I thinkk I have it.

DON'T get me started on rap music. ("Hold it like it's an ice pack" instead of "drop it like it's 3000 degrees" would be better.) I listen to Christian Rock.

*Excessively dark poetry.....from my personal preference, I'd rather hear something more cheerful or uplifting or at least neutral. But IMO, this so-called "deep" art gets to sounding like whining....

hmmm, let me think.
1: Really grumpy customers that don't realize that some people in the "food service industry" actually work.

2: Going into the drums section of guitar center because there's so much sweet stuff that you can play on, but eventually some guys gonna ask you to play on the electrical kits. And then you think "oh great, I still suck, I must need more practice." uhh yeah that was long

3: Big name ISPs "AOL, Earthlink, PeoplePc.."

4: When you ask a question on a forum like "how well do you think my computer (list specs) will run this game?" and you get a reply like "Woah dude, you should upgrade your graphics card to a $500 pciExpress!!" Yeah, as if the Graphics card were the only determining factor in game performance

5: People who ask how much I spent on my knife (130 is the most), after which I proceed to tell them which is then replied to by a very shocked expression (I'm sure many people on this forum would reply the aforementioned way. I don't think people are jerks for this, it's just a fact that it's one of my pet peeves.)

6: Movies with very heavy and frequent language.

7: My own stupidity and laziness

Especially when someone says a pun and then says 'Pardon the pun'. 'Pardon the pun' is one of the worst and annoying clichés ever.

Didymus · **Posted:** Sun Feb 27, 2005 8:43 am

"Pardon the pun" is a pun? How so?

Oops. I meant that "Pardon the pun" is overused. I meant it was an annoying cliché (above post now fixed).

Didymus · **Posted:** Sun Feb 27, 2005 9:35 am

Sorry. I thought there might have been some deeper meaning to the words that somehow made it a pun. Cliche it is, then.

Yeah. Banning religious things is just stupid. Wasn't this country founded on the basis of relious freedom? RRGG!

What's up you people who hate all republicans simply because their republicans. Not all republicans are crazy right wing nutjob bible-thumbers. Nor are they all southern racists. All the ones I know (including my own dad) are small-business owners who simply want to protect their business and provide support for their families, but would otherwise vote democrat. Is that really so bad? Don't judge people upon generalities and stereotypes.
Other than that, no new pet peeves so far except OT.

Depends on the context, prudeness, and nationality of the person.

People who dis something without even trying it. I mean, if you played PS2 and thinks it sucks, that's one thing, but if you never played it before and you hate it, then you need a life. This comic here pretty much describes it.

Mild language and some other thing. It's freaking funny though.

Cmarbagoi · **Posted:** Mon Feb 28, 2005 4:15 pm

Not that I hate Ctrl-Alt-Delete, but I don't think God hates console fanboys. I'm a Nintendo fanboy, and I actually like the PS2.

BOT: Another pet peeve of mine is people who "dis" Nintendo and don't appreciate it.

A new pet peeve of mine is girls who get extremely dressed up to go to school. I mean, wanting to look presentable is one thing, but why wear a miniskirt in winter? They walk from building to building on campus freezing to death and then complain about it when they get inside. My solution: Put on some pants!
On the other end of the spectrum: It also really bugs me when kids who live in rez (or dorms, for you Yankees) come to class in their pyjamas. Especially when you can tell they've gone to great lengths to perfect their hair and makeup before leaving for class. Do they expect us to believe they've rolled out of bed looking like that? Maybe I'd feel differently if I lived in rez, but I think if you have enough time to primp, you have enough time to put clothes on. And it's not just a comfort issue, because they talk about how they were almost late for class and just woke up 5 minutes ago.

The girls you speak of are usually the campus *cough*floozies*cough*

*** People who create screennames using big words they most likely don't know the meaning of. For instance:

"Insinuated Calumnations"
"RazielsDefiance"
"Cosmic Distortion"
"Conundrum Reparations"
"Imperative Visceral"
"Assorted Effervesance"
"Binary Fruition"
"Cryptic Misnomer"
and my personal favorite: "Nonchalant Machinations"

(note: these are made-up and a little exaggerated, but you get the idea) I mean, are you trying to show off? Do these words reflect your personality in some way? Do you even know what they mean?
