Peeve: Smoking in public.

WARNING: SEVERE BLUNTNESS BELOW

If you want to pump cancer into your lungs, then go right ahead, but have some common courtesy for the rest of us who don't want to.


If you gotta do it, go do it somewhere where the other smokers are. At least they are killing themselves too. I don't want to die of second-hand smoke. Do it at home, or something.

Oh! Like in that episode of Seinfeld where Kramer convinced George to park in a handicapped space, and then when they came back people were protesting and wrecking his car because someone handicapped had crashed and then Kramer went to the hospital and fell in love with her and... sorry, I watch too much Seinfeld.

No offense iKi, but I'm not a big fan of people who attack because of one or only a couple mistakes with spelling. I know TEF used to do that all the time, and it drove me nuts, mostly because he would target me....yarr......

Okay, okay, reading over that, I would agree with you that that was an attack, and I'm apologize to Ace. Sorry, Ace. I should have watched what I was doing.

Working all day in the hot, hot sun.

We went on a mission trip to Jellico, TN, which is a very poor community to fix up a coffee shop. We worked all day in the hot sun, with only a fan inside to keep us cool.

Well, that and IBC Root Beer. *drools*

Here's a forum one: people who have like 20 unrelated pics in a rotating avi. When I joined only Seethroo was using 'em and everyone was content. Nowadays, it seems like everyone crams as many pics in one as they can find. It's okay if they're all simmilar, like how iKi's are all iPod related, but not if they're totaly random. Also if someone has a rotating banner as well. Then you can't tell who they are.

My pet peeve has to do with college housing. This semester, and probably the one after it, I'm rooming with not one, not two, but...get this...
NINE other people. That's right, not in different rooms, mind you. Ten people..in one room. And I'm a sophomore, not a freshman.
"How does that work?" you might ask. Well, I don't know because this is the first time I've ever heard of it being done for collegiate housing. Ever. X-(

I need an apartment.

I hate it when my parents meet someone they know when we are walking out of a restaurant or something, and then they have to talk to that person for about thirty minutes before we walk to the car. And I never know who the people are. And they always tell me how tall I've gotten.

I totally agree. It seems to tend to happen more often when I desparately want to go home.

That reminds me of my other peeve. Coming back home really late, I would ask one of my parents, "We'll be back by 9:30, right or should I tape Zatch Bell." "I should hope we'll be back by 9:30." my parent would reply. Then we would end up not coming back until 10:00.

You forgot the part where your parents totally think you should know who the person is because "they held you and changed your diaper when you were a week old" or something like that... Come on, tell me my parent aren't the only ones who do that!

My pet peeve is the term "global warming"... You hear it thrown around so much by people who really don't have any clue what it is, what it means, etc.. "It's warmer today than it was yesterday GLOBAL WARMING IS GOING TO KILL US ALL AAAARRRRRGGGGLBLBLBLBLBBLBBLBLL!"

That, and hurricane coverage.. Seriously, it's windy, it's raining, and stuff is getting broken. That's all you have to say.. I really don't need 24 hour coverage of poor Jim Cantore standing on a street getting hammered with wind, rain and debris. The only thing worse is the round the clock coverage leading up to the actual storm "We're here on the beach and NOTHING IS HAPPENING! IT'S THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM! I REPEAT NOTHING IS HAPPENING YET! WE'RE ALL STILL ALIVE, THANK GOD!!".. The Daily Show did a perfect piece on this some weeks back. I love the Daily Show.. They aren't my pet peeve, yet.

I agree with you. That's why mine rotating image is done. I am not going to add anything else to it, because I couldn't find any good pictures.

Arg. I hate that. Even if it's unrelated, like Jitka or TEF's, try and keep it like to...5-10. After that is way too many.

Wow, that totally sucks. I just recently moved into an appartment with a few buddies of mine, and I really like it. We're right across from the Campus, so we're just going to walk to school. Because, well, I go to a local community college that has no dorms, so parking's a pain.

One thing I don't like is that my roomate (There's four people with only two bedrooms) gets up an hour and a half before me, and he likes to let the alarm keep going, instead of turning it off. Just what I want to hear at 6:45 am, a screaming alarm clock.....yarr.....

Well, I'm talking about now, when there are no classes, and he has to go to work at 830.

And SEE, it's better to have an 8am class, that way you can be assured to get a good parking spot.

Actually, I enjoy this phenomenon. I stayed with a family in Austria for a week and not having to worry about what anybody was saying was really refreshing. It's very zen.


Ya, I guess, but if they were talking in a loud, bellowing, angry voice, it's not pleasant.
I had the same pet peeve in Montreal, my parents would speak all French to waiters and waitresses while we were there, and they would even speak for my little sister, who speaks as much French as me: none. So I was the only person who had to speak English, and it made me feel guilty, I thought maybe I was challenging them by having to switch so suddenly, but I know only one language so thats all I have to worry about so maybe it isn't as hard I belive it be.

Hmm. You wouldn't like me, then. I don't have a credit card, but I use my debit/check card everywhere. I very rarely carry cash.

But it's been my experience that it doesn't take me any longer to get my card through the system than it takes the average cashier to count my change.

(Also, some places, like Target, let you swipe your card while the cashier is still scanning your items, which is a nice time-saver.)

That happened tonight, so jerky, paid for a pint of Half-and-Half with a check. I had just punched out, I was right behind him in line, and he whips ye olde check book. Now I had just got done working for 6 hours, I want to go home, the last thing I want to do is to wait while the cash register validates the check.

You wanna know what's worst? People using a check...at the dollar store. And I don't mean for 1 item, the total amount was over $130. $130! I didn't know you could fit all that crap into one shopping cart.

Pet Peeve: When at the premire of a movie(or any movie or play) some guy whos like 8 feet tall sits in front of you. And the babies that cry in the theater.I hate it when that happens. Also, when I saw LOTR: ROTK, during a big fight scene the footage got messed up and played a popcorn advertisement :p Cant belive how ticked I was..
