Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

People who say "I could care less" when they really mean "I couldn't care less."

People using verbs of motion when they should be using verbs of speech. (ex. "He looked like he was about to hit me, but i went 'You hit me and i'm gonna call the cops on your ass.'") You didn't 'went' anything! You said something!


Most people probably think they don't do these things, but i can almost guarantee you do.

I also hate when the an empty roll of toilet paper is left on the roller with the new one sitting on top of the toilet or on the countertop near by. How hard is it to take of the cardboard tube and replace the old one with the new roll you are using?

Here here, I'll second that motion!

I'm also a former smoker and I do not rag on people that do smoke but then again I don't associate with smokers much either (only if they are NOT smoking). It's not a snob issue either, I'm allergic to smoke. >< Yes, this happened during my smoking years and therefore I had to quit. lol

This is a big pet peeve of mine. I think the world would end if my wife would replace the roll.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

On the smoking side I will elaberate more.

Don't smoke a fag next to me, I don't want the disease you are getting!

...and the bog roll thing, yeah and its normally left the other side of teh bathroom, so you have to do the bog roll shuffle (with your trousers and kegs at your ankles) to reach it.

The other pet peeve is when I go for a dump I don't destroy a rain forest wiping my arse, yet last night I put a new bog roll on the holder, my gf goes for a dump, and she used a quartre of the fecking roll! and it ain;t just my gf, my mates have the same situation with their GF's, what do they do? wrap it around their hand 10 times "just in case it goes through?"

I'm not allergic, but I'm currently living on campus in an apartment with somebody who smokes. After he smokes he smells like it, and everywhere he goes smells like it, and when the heat turns on it blasts that smell into my room as well. He's continuously having to clear his throat and spit all throughout the night too. Like most smokers he's generally inconsiderate as well.

I don't understand why it hasn't been banned on campus yet.

I often use "went and said." Must be a dialect thing, I would guess.

'Nother old peeve: pride. It makes decent people do stupid things, and think they are justified in doing it.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I don't think you all have the time to read what I was considering writing. So, I will keep it short and numbered.

1. Successful dumb people
2. Not getting paid what you deserve at work
3. No nudity on Youtube
4. Censorship
5. The negative effects of smoking
6. The negative effects of drinking
7. The negative effects of sex addiction
8. LIARS!
9. Cheaters
10. Know-it-alls
11. Computer freezes
12. Bullshit on Halo 3, such as throwing a sticky directly through your enemy or not killing them with a point-blank shotgun shot
13. My bad back
14. Balding
15. Deviated Septum
16. Zits
17. When you push a digit on the calculator and it doesn't register
18. The ridiculous price of a 12-inch sub meal at Subway
19. Driving in the snow with bald tires
20. People who like to argue for no reason
21. People who borrow money and did't pay it back when they said they would
22. The price of snacks and pop at the movie theater
23. Not finding a parking spot
24. The dropped value of my comic book collection
25. My fiancee's attitude.... (Spelling fixed)

Did I miss anything?

Could be stemmed from the fact that you misspelled it? (If you're male, then your fiance would be fiancee.)

Another peeve are the people who hit your car in a parking lot and don't leave their insurance information. Not such a big deal if they don't do any damage to your car, but if you fuck up my bumper man up and leave your shit.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I don't think here attitude would stem from my spelling abilities, but maybe.

Speaking of fender-benders: I walk out of the bank the other day and up to the driver's side of my car to get in. A large man hanging out of his driver's window on the other side of my car says "Hey man, next time, don't park so close to me". I think to myself, there ain't gonna be a next time dick face. I look at him confused and get in my car and drive away. It didn't occur to me that he said that because he hit my car until I was a mile down the road. Sure enough I pulled over and there's two big scrape lines down the passenger side. He hadn't said anything about it before I got into the car and left. Fuck Him!!!

Edit: Redtube is straight hardcore. Sometimes good video requires just a little nudity...
