Pet Peeves

[metallicat]

People who don't offer a wave of thank-you after letting them in front of me in traffic.

turn it around a bit and make it people who don't let you in at all :angry: :angry:

I know it's pretty direct seeing as how posters on this board do it (and of course everywhere else on the internet), but people who sign their name at the bottom of everything they post. It's like "Man, I see your name on the side of the screen everytime you post something - why do you need to tell people twice?" I'm not talking about signatures w/ pics or quotes, but rather just putting your user name at the end of what you typed. WTF is up with that?

Just something that's always bugged me.

mine would have to be people who bitch all the time about someone trying to "Cross thread insult" them. It comes across as kind of whiney, and really, who cares? It's a freakin message board.

How about I follow you around in every thread and say; Jeff Shantz sucks!! ahahaha! Would be kind of annoying no? [/b][/quote]
Who is Jeff Shantz?

If you are one of the guys that whip on the right just to try and get in at the last second I will do everything in my power to not let you in. [/b][/quote]
Agreed - that is one of my pet peeves - esp. in construction areas... people who whip up the lane that is closed ahead, and then think it is their god-given right to be allowed into the lane of traffic. Get in line and wait the rest of us you $%^! :angry:

Plus, I think that would speed up traffic too, as you don't have the line stopping to let a moron in every 20 seconds.

Only the greatest Player to ever wear a flaming C.

Actually he sucked, but he had an uncanny ability to score goals when i was in the building.
The year before I got my season tickets I went to 2 games, and Jeff Shantz scored in both of those games (His only two goals of the season). Then the year I did get my season tickets, he played in one per season game (that of course I was at) and he scored a goal. He was then promtly traded to Colorado in the Drury/Yelle deal.
But man, I count that as another one of Craig Button's mamoth mistakes, sure we got Yeller, but he could have found some better fodder to throw in. With me having season tickets, Shantz was guaranteed a 41 goal season. Hence my love of Jeff Shantz.

I'm doing some shopping for a used car right now. Two words that are driving me bonkers right now:

Lady Driven.

WTF is that supposed to imply? That she drove it with care and respect as if it were a doily? Why can't there be a "Man Driven" descriptor too? Car Guy types would probably treat their rides better - ie observing the breakin period, full maintenance on a regular basis, synthetic oil.

But no. Lady Driven it is.

Monday mornings.

"Loves it" (from anyone other than Paris, as I actually like looking at her)

Bad coffee

My ability to procrastinate

Ha, how true. Lady driven means there are dents everywhere, curb rash on the wheels, broken bumpers, and never done maintenance resulting in: extremely black oil, no shocks, ignored head gasket problem and probably overheated at some time, and ran out of oil at some time resulting in damage and knocking sounds.... I have yet to see a good lady driven car.

If the person I'm buying from doesn't know an oil filter from a fuel filter, I walk away.

People who use big words to sound smart. "Guy, chill out... You're being ostentatious.".
Riiiight.

A guy I know used to do that all the time. I'd say, 'are you sure I'm not being a little capricious? Slightly facetious?

[Sylvanfan]

I hate overcast type days in which it looks like it's going to rain....and it doesn't. That just drives me nuts. I don't mind a little rain once in awhile to keep things nice and fresh. So I'm hoping that tonight it finally gives me some rain rather than this threatening sky.

[4X4]

I hate when (in my morning groggery) I go to slap on some pit stick, and I forget that it's a new tube... Ouch... That stupid piece of sharp plastic. Yes, I do it every single freakin time, including this morning, and it's still a little raw because yesterday I used the old one right to the end & jabbed that holey, cheese grater-like plastic into my pit.

Close talkers. My neighbour is a close talker. Normal neighbours chat from over the hedge, he comes right on my lawn & stands a foot away from me & yammers on about whothehellknowswhat. I can't pay attention because I'm too busy thinking "Does this bozo even know that he does this? How the hell can he be comfortable talking this close to my face? Eeeww, his pores are nasty. Did he brush his teeth? He fataing stinks. Trim your nose hairs, dude. No bloody wonder you're 50 and single. Is it raining? NO, that was spittle! Get the HELL OUT OF HERE!"

I swear, its a Seinfeld episode going on right in my head.

Adam Peddle is one of my biggest pet peeves.

Can we make a "Gay insult forum" for these two so no one else has to look at it all the time?

[StoneCole]

I hate it when hulkrogan can't play soccer because he's to busy having dinner with his mom...I mean, I love your mom too, but dinner, that's just not a requirement with her.

[Bring_Back_Shantz]

I hate it when StoneCole burns HulkRogan with a mom joke that I didn't think of first.

I also hate people who get upset about soccer. I mean come on, it's soccer. Why don't you just get upset that he couldn't do some ballet with you.

If he had the class to read his personal messages I would be happy to keep it off the forum. But he doesn't.

If you want to see our disagreements moved to PM, please tell him so. It doesn't appear he has the maturity to go that route though.

So you take the highroad by placing random insults in unrelated threads

Now back on topic.. my mom.
