slow walkers. not cos they are elderly or have some sort of medical problem which forces them to walk slow...just slow walkers who invariably weave all over the sidewalk, walk 3-4 accross the sidewalk, or walk in the middle, thus taking up the whole ing sidewalk and making it difficult to pass. seriously, just get the out of my way!

People who practically knock me over when im doing groceries because its sunday afternoon and they are in a hurry to get home to do nothing. Sorry if browsing the selection is taking 10 seconds off your sunday but im not in a constant mad rush for no reason. Too stressful to live like that. |

there is a difference between being slow and being in the way. walk slow, fine...but don't take up all of the available room. unfortunately, i find slow walkers usually do.
and being in a hurry is not stressful to me, actually quite the opposite. |

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 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". |

My Pet Peeve covers off alot of the others in this Thread.
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. |
so basically u dont like the republicans??:tongue3

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. |

Cool thanks for the 411 Jayx1. I also think it adds to the whole rave experience and have many live sets where whistles are blown during the intro or during the build-up of a track as people get excited.
Hulla always used to hand out whistles... |

I think a lot of newer partiers just dont get it. Whats sad is how whistlers get treated. Partying used to be about live and let live. 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! |
