-- Pet Peeves!!
Pages (8): « 1 2 [3] 4 5 6 7 8 »
When i stop in the grocery eisle to get a can of something and people are to the left of me and the person behind me almost knocks me over then i get pissed off. Its a grocery store, not a corridor. If you are in a hurry then dont walk down a busy grocery eisle. Otherwise i agree with not likeing people who stop in the middle of a mall or are oblivious to others. But when at a store the rules are a bit different.
Especially knowing that these people are most likely in a hurry so they can get home and watch tv. RELAX!!
Which brings me to my real pet peeve. People who pretend they are busy when they arent. Somehow it has become uncool to admit that you are at home doing nothing. I know people who answer the phone and tell people they are busy and will call them back when they are watching tv!! Or people who brag about how busy they are. My reaction is usually "whoa u need to slow down a bit". I will always try to avoid overload. Life is too stressful when you are always trying to act busy.
I guess society is so fixated on money that being at home or enjoying free time is seen as being counter productive and therefore uncool. It means you aren't making money.
I love notheing to do
I work seasonal so in the winter I�m home for three months or so.
All I�ve been doing is spending time with family, watching TV, playing video games and clubbing; Things I don't get to do when I�m busy.
If you have nothing to do take my poll on "Club pet peeves".

I am frustrated by people who live their lives in their own bubble and either don't see or choose to ignore how their actions affect others. People who are oblivious to everything that is going on around them due to the fact that all of their energy and efforts are completely consumed by their own personal needs. It takes little energy to be courteous, to use your common sense or simply just to be concious of what else is going on around you but I find too many people could careless about how their behaviour is affecting everyone else around them. If I could burst their bubble I would. |

The whistle is used as a sign of respect for the DJ. This is especially true at junglist parties. It's hayday was back at the old warehouse parties where the MCs would even get on the mic and yell out for the "whistle posse to make some noise". It's rave cultures way of cheering for the DJ. Since rave culture has moved into clubs you will find whistles at clubs that play dance music. Especially when you go overseas. It still exists. I have tonnes of current live club mixes with all kinds of whistles in the background. To me it adds to the experience and raises the hype.
Since most Toronto crowds are pretty flat in the last few years though i dont think whistles here make a difference anymore unfortunately. However if you have any respect for the history of what you are doing you wont complain about somebody with a whistle. Since they are so few and far between now anyways you always have the option of moving to somewhere else.

Now you get people whining about everything that other people do. Smoking, whistling, waving flags, dancing "too crazy", etc etc STFU and dont go to clubs if all these things bother you so much! |

| Originally posted by SurrJRS A pet peeve is a minor annoyance that can instill extreme frustration in an individual. Typically each person has several pet peeves that aggravates them more than the average person. Another person may not react as negatively or at all to the same circumstance. Pet peeves are typically of common occurrences and a person may encounter their pet peeve up to several times a day. An example of this would be someone not using their turn signals while driving. Many people do not use their turn signals, and it does not bother some drivers that people do not. People that have a pet peeve of someone not using their turn signals would become very agitated and upset when they witness the practice. Many pet peeves associated with driving can result in road rage where the person who has been peeved, seeks some sort of retribution for the action. Often a pet peeve will seem illogical to others. For example a supervisor may have a pet peeve about people leaving the lid on the copier up and get very upset. That same supervisor may witness employees coming into work late, and not react as they did with the copier. To give a better picture of what a pet peeve is, below is a listing of some pet peeves. Driving * Not using a turn signal when making a turn. * Not using a turn signal when changing lanes. * Driving in the left had lane slower than the traffic moving in the right hand lane. (The opposite in England, India, etc.) * Not coming to a complete stop at stop signs. * Drivers who make illegal turns at intersections. * Driving in a middle turn lane of a five lane road. * Following too close. * Not driving with headlights on at dusk or at night. * Waiting at a stop light with too much space between them and the car in front of them, or the stop line. * When there are two or more turn lanes, all of the cars stacking in just one of the lanes. * When there are two or more straight through lanes, all of the cars stacking in just one of the lanes. * People leaving their turn signal on too long. * Retreads. * U-turns. * Drivers who don't even know how to properly use high beam headlights. * Drivers who really speed from behind even if you've exceeded legal speed limit. Smoking * People throwing cigarette butts on the ground. * People throwing cigarette butts out of car windows. * People smoking around the entrance of a no smoking building so non-smokers have to walk through the smoke. * Smoker breath. * Smoke odor on clothes. * Smoke odor in bars/nightclubs/restaurants. * Cigarettes on the ground next to ashtrays. * People who smoke when they have small children. * People who smoke while they are pregnant. * People who smoke while pumping gasoline. * People who smoke while driving. * Making my health insurance rates go up. Significant Other (Man) * Leaving the toilet seat up after using the bathroom. * Stinking up the bathroom after a bowel movement. Significant Other (Woman) * Leaving cosmetics all over the bathroom sink. * Wasting time on perfection (fashionwise) Workplace * People who gossip more than work. * People who schedule meetings first thing in the morning. Television * Breaking into a television program to give a thunderstorm warning. * At the beginning of the break telling you that the program is being interrupted for a weather advisory. (Just go to the break, don't waste five seconds). * At the end of the break telling you that the you will now be returned to the original programming. (Just go back to the show, don't waste five seconds) * After each commercial break, announcing a content warning before a program resumes. * Dubbing or deleting content of a tv movie to make it more family friendly. (Parents need to use their own discretion) Customer Service * Cashier that does not know how to use the register. Telemarketing * Calling during dinner. * Recorded messages. * Surveys. * Sales pitches for things you don't need. (Vinyl siding when you live in an apartment) * Any telemarketer call. * Telemarketers that just hang up when you yell at them. Neighbors * Mowing their lawn too early. * Mowing their lawn too late. * Not mowing their lawn often enough. * Mowing their lawn too short. * Letting their dog bark outside. * Letting their dog run loose. * Letting their dog deficate in your yard. * Letting their dog mark your property as its territory. * Leaving their junk outside. * Parking vehicles on the grass. * Parking in front of your house when their house has no car in front. * Not parking in their garage because they have too much stuff stored in the garage. * Storing a motor home at their house. * Storing a boat at their house. * Parking anything that blocks the sidewalk. * Not maintaining their house or property. * Cutting down trees and limbs that previously blocked the view of their poorly maintained property or that of another neighbors. * Draining their pool so chlorine gets on your property. * Playing music too loud. * Having too many parties. * Revving the engine of their Harley Davidson. * Revving the engine of their Hot Rod. * Not respecting property lines. (Doing their stuff on your property) * Leaving holiday decorations out too long. * Putting holiday decorations out too early. * Not using curtains or blinds. (Please no one needs to see that) * Staring at you when you are outside. * Staring at you when you are inside. * Telling you what you should do on your property. (Isn't this one ironic) Mobile phones (Cell phones) * Everything about them |
Diginut i agree with u most of the time...this not one of them...if u wear or blow a whistle...who gives a fuck...people party...cuz they wanna escape reality...and if sucking/blowing a whistle puts them at ease...how does that affect ur life.
Last time i was at a rave...i witness peeps blowin whistles...but couldnt hear it...i love sinking my face in the speaker too much
Sebasano
-not being able to fall asleep, when you know you have an important morning the next day
-when people don't keep secrets "because they were drunk"
-DIRTY public washrooms
traffic on the highway, usually caused by large friggin trucks or drivers that need 10 car spaces between them and the car in front.
when I signal for a lane change and the guy falling behind on the lane I want to go to suddenly speeds up to prevent me from changing lanes.
telemarketers
door to door salespeople and jehovah's witnesses
badly dubbed foreign movies (I actually would rather read the translated subtitles)
smelly towels
pulling out weeds
people that do a really bad job but still get rewarded
neocons
when i play minesweeper in expert level and I get 2 unknowns left and I click on the last mine

| Originally posted by DigiNut No, we get it just fine. What YOU don't get is that the whistle died with the rave in the year 2000. Sure, they can take their whistles to the Destiny parties and the tiny underground raves if they really want to, but not to System or the Guvernment or the Docks or Boa. Those aren't raves, those are clubs. Whistles are out of place there. Plus, the whistle has more than mere symbolic significance. It was actually supposed to be blown rhythmically to the set, not spastically and out of context (which is what usually happens these days). Maybe whistles USED to be a sign of respect to the DJ, but now they are mostly a sign of posers who are trying to be cool by acting like a cheap stereotype of the old-school "raver". They're more of a sign of disrespect now, both to the DJ and the crowd. |

Here is a good one:
People who jwalk and dont even bother to look and see if cars or coming or if they do they dont care.
Have some regard for the fact that 2 tonnes of steel could be coming at you at 50 km/h or more! ALso it takes time and distance for heavy objects to stop. Ive gotten into plenty of roadside arguements with ignorant pedestrians who think they own the road. If you are too lazy to use a crossing at least wait until the road is clear before you cross!
Im not usually a mouthy person in public or even in private like i can be here but this is one thing i dont stand for because not only does it put them at risk but it puts me at risk legally.
