My Mood: | What's your pet peeve in RL?
Figured we needed one of these, because RL > FFXI. ![]() Anyways, this was inspired by two strong ones I can think of at the moment: 1. People who mispronounce stuff, though, I won't hold it against the good folks at LBR . . . unless, of course, they totally butcher something that should be absurdly easy (which has happened before), and that's pretty much my opinion of the world at large. This morning, however, sent me in to a whirl of fury when somebody had the audacity to say "exetera." 2. The people who made CSI need to DIAF. Seriously. For so many reasons, as well. Or, at the very least, the specific people who made it so popular. But, I'm pretty sure everybody here already knows how notoriously inaccurate/flashy they can be. I just thought about it for some reason, and, when combined with peeve 1, I thought of making this thread. This particular peeve also applies to most all television nowadays, as well, but for different reasons: call it a peeve for another day. ![]() I have plenty more, so this OP isn't all you'll be hearing from me. But, for the time being, what sends you in to a rage that would make a berserker envious? (Mandatory pre-emptions: Murphie, you can't say how old you are as a peeve, because that feeling's almost universal; plus, you already express it well enough with your current avatar. Feba and Mhurron, neither of you can say "everything;" you both have to be more specific, or, at the very least, cover each of every thing one at a time. Preferably over a long period of time. Anti-Smart-Alec clause: the restrictions placed upon Murphie, Feba, and Mhurron apply to everybody else, as well. So does the opposite of Murphie's restriction, as in, if you are a child, you can't rant about how young you are; you'll easily outlive it, and miss it all before you know it, anyways.)

Oh, being 30 isn't a pet peeve anyway. I hate it when people mispronounce February. It's my birth month (obviously), and it has an R in it. For crying out loud.

Two R's, technically. Also, could some Mod please lowercase the two P's in the thread title: I want it to correspond to the "pet peeve in FFXI" thread. |

Well, yeah, but everyone remembers that second r. Feb-u-ary? No! Feb-ru-ary! Someone once tried to tell me it was an accepted pronunciation. Not by me it isn't! edit: You don't know me IRL, Sevv.

RL Pet Peeves: - People hovering over my shoulder, especially supervisors - Blank stares accompanied by shit-eating grins. - Teenage girls with cars talking on cell phones - YOU ARE A DANGER TO ALL WHO LIVE! - 300 Quotes - Really, just stop, its way past old. - Devil's Advocates - just tell me what side you're on, enough BSing about being objective. You have a side and you're not arguing the other very well. - Cigarette butts on the hood of my car - you give away where you live when you do this, do you think I will not figure out you're on the second level balcony? - Seven year olds that cry more than babies do. - High Fructose Corn Syrup - People who avoid answering the question - People who put words in your mouth. - Gas Prices - Doctors who don't really know what's wrong and just toss prescriptions at you to get you to go away. - Flavor of the week "news" like Violence in Video Games. |

Bad drivers, specifically those who cut me off when I'm doing 75 so they can pass someone at 55.

You're really putting yourself out there with your bold "bad drivers" stance, Aksannyi.

Also, other people. There's nothing good about you. The sooner you all replace yourselves with robots, or at least find a way for me to isolate myself from you, the better. | |
