The Pet-Peeves thread

[The Feral Underclass]

So I was sat on the bus coming home today and it was fairly full so I had to take a seat next to this young guy. As I sat down the smell of sweaty arses, and I mean that acrid-between-the buttocks-stink combined with what I could only describe as sour milk, emanated like a nightmare into nostrils. It was foul...

It got me thinking of pet-peeves and how unreasonable some of mine are, and actually I'm quite embarrassed about them...

One of mine -- and this is gonna sound craz -- is that I really have a problem with liquids being served in receptacles that don't correspond with the liquid...I know, it's ridiculous, but wine served in a mug is a big no-no for me...Tea in a glass...What even is that?

Another one, which I think is probably more reasonable is when people split bills and you've had like a glass of water and a starter...It's rude and inconsiderate and I won't stand for it!

So I guess my pet-peeves, reasonable or not, are:

- Antisocial cleanliness
- Inappropriate usage of receptacles
- Bill splitting

HAHAHAHA holy shit, TFAE

-when people throw stuff in the trash like they're playing basketball

Offended. Deeply, offended.

[Anglo-Saxon Philistine]

Not all of us can afford a porcelain tea set you patrician.

I could pretty much list everything, but people who talk about how great families are, how your family definitely loves you, how you should love your family, etc. etc. are pretty high on the list.

Also idiots who get angry at waiters for not magically conjuring their food in five minutes on a busy day.

And people who write code without comments deserve the death penalty.

[Tim Cornelis]

I have misophonia. So any sound or physical action/position that is (usually) repetitive appears to be unnecessary (or unnecessarily loud).

Terrible grammar. Its/it's is more often used wrongly than not.

[Sinister Intents]

A lot of things Russian Red (The Fundamental Attribution Error) has stated

My psychological problems

Abusive people

[consuming negativity]

HAHAHAHA holy shit, TFAE

+1

I feel like I can't contribute to the thread now because TFAE won it.

Still, I will say that those people who stand in fucking doorways and hallways and aisles and get in the fucking way and take forever getting out of it are inconsiderate pricks.

Other than that I agree with a lot that was already posted. Stinky people, biting my mouth, and mouth-roof pizza burns are all incredibly annoying.

[Lily Briscoe]

The word "folks".

Hard workers. Especially the kind that show up to work twenty minutes early everyday and on the rare occasion that they're only running five minutes early, they call the boss ahead of time to say they're going to be late.. I seriously iyfctrrsrjhkjiu

People who never take risks/let go/who always do everything in moderation. Kinda related: people who are obsessed with structure/planning everything out beforehand and can never just be spontaneous.

Spinelessness.

New age spirituality/yuppie Buddhists.

The sort of stuffy middle-aged women with boring lives and miserable marriages who make it their mission to know all the details of, and constantly talk shit about, everyone else's sexual behavior and relationships.

[Lily Briscoe]

I could continue, but this is making me feel like a very bitter person lol

[Creative Destruction]

anything having to do with the morning. except maybe for breakfast foods
folks being proud of a shitty food culture
brisket smoked for any less than 12 hours
smoking meats with fruit woods
cilantro
folks putting cast iron skillets in the washer or putting soap on skillets every time they wash them
incredibly complex recipes where most of the ingredients would not show in flavor or texture

[Illegalitarian]

Waking up early (anytime before 8am is fucking hell and I hate it)

People who use the word guesstimate

Youtube comments

[Crabbensmasher]

I hate when your waiting at a bus stop with a bunch of people and none of them are acknowledging eachother - they just stare up the road at where the bus is about to come. Like, guys, the bus is going to stop anyway. Its like, the act of standing there is so fucking awkward for everyone apparently, they just look up the road and pretend nobody else exists.

Sometimes I get so pissed I literally stand in front of everyone and look in the opposite direction (at them). Then we make eye contact and they immediately look very flustered and turn to their phones.

Social customs are fucking aggravating. Yet we cling to them like little drowning marmots.

[Illegalitarian]

I can't believe no one has said this one yet: People who unironically use the term "social justice warrior"

It doesn't actually work when you do it intentionally to try to bother me though.

[BIXX]

I'm not sure that's what rednoise was trying to do, they lice in the same area as me maybe they do it for the same reason I do.

How do you even get up in the morning?

[The Feral Underclass]

Terrible grammar. Its/it's is more often used wrongly than not.

I spent a lot of my life correcting people's grammar and so I think I'm kinda use to it, but the one thing that just gets me every time is the misuse of a semi-colon...Like, if you don't know what it does, don't fucking use it!

[Bala Perdida]

Also idiots who get angry at waiters for not magically conjuring their food in five minutes on a busy day.

My family is definitely one of mine. Far and wide, aunts and cousins and shit included.
Having worked in food service and retail, I hate customers overall. Even if they don't bother me with demands, their presence makes me uneasy.
I hate the music on the radio most of the time.
I hate the laws in the US. Literally everything is super illegal. And you can't even bribe the cops.
I hate it when people don't put stuff back in a store.
I hate it when guys leave the toilet seat up, and I'm a guy.
Also I hate handling money. I always feel like I have a variance.

[Creative Destruction]

not being able to annoy strix on demand

[Creative Destruction]

I hate it when guys leave the toilet seat up, and I'm a guy.

yeah. and, for christ's sake, when you piss on the seat or the rim, clean it up, you shitty adult two year olds.
