Oh! People who do the quote thing in their post and then their post has nothing to do with the quote.

Why quote? Ah!!!

Totally, although I don't know if I'd call that a "pet peeve" but rather an ideological disagreement.

A Stuffy Nose. I'd take a sore throught, headache and the runs all at once before I'd choose a stuffy nose. GOD I hate having a stuffy nose.

And failing. When it's something that I REALLY want to accomplish/attain and I mess up... rrrrrrrr... It doesn't take much for me to feel like a tool.

Especially after you already have the cereal poured. :(

This really strikes a bone with me.. because... .I just did it.... > <

Anyways, people who feel the need that they have to YELL ACROSS A ROOM TO THEIR FRIEND INSTEAD OF WALKING OVER TO EACH OTHER TO TALK THEY YELL BACK AND FORTH...

That pisses me off.

A complete lack of tact. Like when someone at my work walks up to me and asks me if i'm high...RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FUCKIN BOSS!!! LIKE WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?! :evil: Oh also, being a musician, when ppl ask you to play them a song, and then just turn away to talk to someone. FUCKER I HAVE TENDINITIS AND IT KILLS ME TO PLAY, SO EITHER SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR 5 MIN, OR GO PUT ON SOME BON JOVI AND LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, the term LOL and ROFL or whatever the hell that one is....... i hate it so much, i will use other chatting terminology, but seriously, ppl use LOL too loosely. Ok, so i told you how my cat just jumped real high, im pretty sure you're not laughing out loud at home, and especially not rolling around on the floor clutching your gut in pain because "OMG" that was so damn funny. Since when did "haha" stop working? "LOL" requires an unnatural jump of the right handed ring finger, whereas "haha" has a nice...set right index > OP pinky feel you know??

-Kids cereals. It's not exactly a pain, but when your roommate/family member buys kiddy cereals instead of a healthy alternative that YOU REQUESTED or HAVE CONSISTENTLY PURCHASED IN THE PAST, that strikes a nerve on me. There's not even a discount on the box either. Who do you think I am? A kid? Seriously! And then you start eating that sugar inducing jittery stuff and start getting stomach cramps afterwards. Ouch. Kashi and fiber ftw.

-United Air. Buying plane tickets on the phone is stupid. Get me a person that speaks proper ENGLISH. And figuring out their online content is also silly. Some specific prices don't even load properly on a high-speed server! AGH! :x

Oh, buying stuff online, and then not getting a confirmation anything. What the hell, it ain't gonna show up on my visa bill for at least a week, so just tell me the transaction went through so im not anxiety ridden for the whole duration of 'shipping time', just hoping that i actually bought said product.
And on a similar note, WTF is up with 6-8 weeks shipping?!?! I bought it today, i want it today!!! Sure sure there's processing time and errrrrthing, but unless its a footbag that needs to be made and shipped out by someone who ISNT A MULTI MILLION DOLLAR ORGINAZATION WHO'S SOLE PURPOSE IS SELLING THIS FUCKIN PRODUCT SO WHY THE FUCK ARENT YOU READY TO GET ME MY ORDER TO ME IN A PROMPT 2 FASHION, i want it now. as for needlemasters, if the bag is nice and shreddible straight out the box or ziplock or whainever, i dont care how long it takes, unless your slacka-lackin, then getcher ass in gear dere!! :P

When people use apostrophes improperly. Drives me nuts. It means possession, or is used in a contraction!

Ex) DVD's, CD's, flower's for sale, The Simpson's, etc. = BAD!!

DON'T do it!! :evil:

- So called "friends" who dump all their relationship problems on you regularly, and expect you to solve them. Look, no problem with listening, but if you cause over half your own problems and the rest are in your head... you deserve it. :twisted:

Improper use of the word "there" and all of it's deviations.

Yeah, but over half of the things said in this topic are "ideological disagreements." Are you just now picking up on that fact?
