Pet Peeves

[Rickybaby]

People in this place, who state their opinions as if they were facts handed down from God.

 

[BryceC]

Perpetually negative/grumpy people. If your life sucks so much keep it to yourself.

I have two:

-I can't stand when people say "soda." It's POP.
-I'm from Waterloo/ Cedar Falls and it irks me to no end when people from Iowa say "WATERloo" instead of "waterLOO." I know the Belgian city is "WATERloo," but you're from Iowa, know it's "waterLOO."

What's the difference again?

When people walk on the left side of the sidewalk (or in my case skyway). Do they not notice they are constantly dodging people walking the other way?

Loud chewers and especially people who chew with their mouths open. I would support some kind of extermination program if anyone knows of such a movement.

This guy named Hitler did something like that once...heard of him?

Where you put the accent. The correct way to say the name of Waterloo, Iowa is to put the emphasis on the "loo" not the "Water" like the Belgian city. It's equivalent to the Madrid, IA/ Madrid, Spain and Nevada, Ia/ Nevada.

Hey, if it some day turns out that he wasn't going after Jews but instead going after open mouth chewers then I may have to rethink my stance on him.

Hmmm.. I honestly don't get it. When i say waterloo its just an even word. no emphasis.

Fair enough. I would feel the same if he hated on people for making wide turns.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BlUF9oZWfY]YouTube - You put the wrong emphasis on the wrong syllable[/ame]

 

[azn4cy]

Silly azn, it's not Waterloo, it's WaterLOOOOOO.

So how would the Trix bunny say it then?

2. when people end a sentence with the words, "and such"

CP44, meet Miss South Carolina... like such as.

Maybe azn is just confused because he's used to hearing it as Waterroo? :biglaugh:

I grew up around that area and I never heard any problems with how people pronounced it. We used to pronounce it "STINK-town", though.

I keed, I keed.

 

[dmclone]

People that clip their nails at work.

People that drive in the passing lane.

Hummers (the vehicles)

People that have a license plate that looks like a rainbow because they don't realize they should put the stickers on top of each other. In my experience these are usually the worst drivers on the road.

Parents that don't parent

Toilet paper loaded the wrong way (underneath)

Pants on the ground

Loud cell phone talkers-Although I find myself doing this.
