What is your pet peeve

[cycloneace55]

in no order of maximum annoyance:

Mouth breathers - god gave you a nose, use it!

People who come to work when they are sick. Do they want sympathy, or just have the honor of being the office typhoid Mary?

People who chew with their mouth open. No explanation needed.

People who have to interject their opinion on a conversation they were not part of, just lurking near. That and people who seem to think they have knowledge of everything.

People who get offended by words they do not know the meaning of. Case and point: was when Charlton Heston used the word "Niggardly" in a speech for the NRA and the NAACP accused him of being a racist. (niggardly: Adj. reluctant to give or spend; stingy; miserly.)

Yeah I get easily annoyed. :wink:

I'm going to add- advertisements. Most advertisements irritate me all year, but during the holiday season they actually raise my blood pressure:

Jewelry ads- He went to Jared! I hope Jared kicked his ***.

Car ads- Oh, you bought me a Cadillac!...from our joint checking account, thanks...

Best Buy ads- don't act like you're some public servant, if someone knows so little about electronics they're asking a Best Buy employee for advice they deserve to get ripped off.

Home Depot- Let's go to Home Depot to buy all our gifts, Grandma will love her new belt sander.

Jared ads make me want to kill...

1a) Posters that assume when you criticize a coach assume you want that coach fired.

1b) Posters that criticize hawkeye fans for being hawkeye fans even though they didn't attend iowa. I didn't go to Iowa State and I bleed cardinal and gold more than most fans that attended ISU. Believe me, we need more fans like me.

Jared ads make me want to kill...

They are the exact reason I will never buy anything from Jared.

Last year it was the Leo diamond, this year it is the Peerless diamond. I wonder what diamond it will be next year. The Cancer diamond? The Sagittarius?

The Iowa Diamond commercials are the worst, the ones with the president of the compay talking about stupid things. He drives me crazy, and I have to turn it off when he comes on.

People who converse with thier friends in the middle of an aisle of a crowded store.

Store workers (ie. the buckle) who try way too hard to try and make a sale. You know the ones who follow you around the store asking you if you need help, or would like to look at something every 5 seconds.

People who drive slow in the fast lane. or people who fly around you on the interstate just to cut infront of you at the very next exit.

Lou Holtz speech impediment.

Women who wear pajama pants in public.

 

[CRcyclone6]

people that use the phrases "what not" and "perception is reality"

How about Cyclone fans that clearly spend WAYYY too much time on Hawkeye boards. Then feel the need to let us know everything over here at CF.

Pet Peeve: When I insult people without intending to. My apologies.

Not good enough, but it'll have to do. I humbly apologize.

 

[Cydkar]

People who don't know you can turn right on red. Death would be to kind.

This one is easy, people who listen to their Ipod, disc man, ect. a little too loud and you can barely hear the song they are listening to through their headphones. God I hate that.

My pet peeve is when people park backwards down a one way parking row, does that make sense? I loathe that!

 

[Bubbahotep]

DJK15 and Southernhawk. How can you go to Iowa State and be hawkeye fans? Thanks for the donations I guess.

I'll add people who drive the wrong way down a one way angled parking row. Same thing I guess.

People who abuse the word "decimate". This is particularly common on the sort of disaster-oriented shows that I like to watch on the Discovery channel, History channel, and NatGeo.

"Decimate originally referred to the killing of every tenth person, a punishment used in the Roman army for mutinous legions"

decimate - definition of decimate by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

So, it properly means to destroy or eliminate 1/10 of something, and I hate it when people abuse this word to mean totally destroying something.

That is a pet peeve I think you can call your own

They have both answered this question numerous times and I don't need to hear it again.

My biggest pet peeve on this forum is still Hawk fans posting on a Cyclone forum. You don't see me posting on Hawkeye Nation do you? No, because I am neither a Hawk fan nor a troll trying to rile the other fan base up!
