    Pet Peeves that make you seem like a crazy person

    Does anyone else have any of these? Stuff that just bugs the shit out of you, but isn't really that important. I've got a few things that bother me, but no one else seems to get annoyed about and then look at me funny when I tell them about it:

    1. When people put something in the microwave, set the timer for like 5 minutes, then take out the food before the timer runs out and then DOESN'T RESET THE TIME. Man! The number of times I've been briefly fooled into thinking it was 1:28 in the afternoon when it was really around 7 or 8 is way too high. And then I have to go over to the microwave and press "End" to reset the time. Y'know, just because.

    2. People adding movies they've just recently seen to their "favorite movies" lists on Facebook or Myspace or what-have-you. Damn people, stop saying Transformers is your favorite movie. It just came out! It wasn't even that great. This goes for a lot of movies. Recent ones I've seen: Knocked Up, Superbad, Spiderman 3. "Favorite movie" isn't supposed to be such a fleeting title.

    3. When you pay for something in cash, and then the cashier hands you the change with the bills and receipt in your palm and the change on top of those. Fuck. Not only does it slip and slide around, often out of your hand and onto the Goddamn floor, but I also don't keep change in my wallet so I have to fumble with taking the change off the top, putting it in my pocket, and then putting the bills into my wallet. It's just such and unnecessary hassle. 90% of cashiers do this, so when I run into one that doesn't, I always thank them for it. They always are confused.


    What about everyone else? Does Gotwoot have some crazy Pet Peeves?

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    People who don't know how to prewash dishes on an old dishwasher. OMG so annoying.
    People who won't stop reminding you whose weed it is.

    that make me "seem" like a crazy person? I am a crazy person.

    My pet peeves:
    The guy/girl at the very front of a traffic light, who is doing their hair or makeup and makes me honk at them when the light changes. It makes me want to kill a fool.

    People parking their cars on the street when they have an unoccupied driveway.

    Pretexts hiding one-sided rants/conversations. Don't say that you wanted to see me, or that you wanted to talk with me, or other BS if all you want is someone to sit there and listen to your shit. I'm willing to listen, but don't waste my time beating around the bush.

    Floaters. Especially when fuckers put their cigarette butts in them.

    People who never drive anywhere, even though they have a car.

    Share and share alike, I say. I go nuts on people like that also, but only slightly worse are the ones who never, ever, EVER offer to pay for things like that. The number of times I've brought beer to a party and people are just like, "Can I have some?". What the fuck do you think I'm going to say? No? And whenever I ask for them to throw me some money, they try to act like they don't have any (i'm the one without a fucking job!), or that they aren't going to drink enough to merit paying, or that it's insulting because 'it'll come back around'. It especially pisses me off when these fuckers have the money, but not the common courtesy to try to keep the cycle flowing...

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    @Masa: A few of those seem like perfectly legitimate pet peeves. The 1st, 3rd, and 4th and last ones are things that would bug anybody. I'm looking for the really bizarre ones, though I must agree with your point about not parking cars in the driveway. A buddy of mine does this. Fucking why??

    lol @Hikyuu and steak sauce. I don't even like steak sauce. Stop telling me to use steak sauce.

    I eat ketchup with all my meat (Steak/Pork/Chicken/... some other meat I can't think of right now...) I love the taste of ketchup, and personally can't bring myself to eat meat without it anymore. I simply am, addicted.
    And, I simply don't like the taste of steak sauce.

    I got the same peeve going about the microwave. I mean it's not hard to hit "End" to reset it... seriously. I've been late or too early for things a few too many times because of the time not being there. Stupid enough to fall for it mostly because of being half asleep but still. RESET THE DANG THING!

    Another minor one of mine is where I work we have this "club card" that gives you the sales price when scanned. I'll be scanning the customers food junk... when they suddenly freak on me "THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE 3.99!!!!!" and spazz for a good five minutes before I get the simple words in "Club card." Their answer? "Oh. Ok" Lame really... all the regulars do it. I mean damnit you've been to this grocery store how many times this week alone... never mind in total... and you STILL don't understand you have to give me your club card to get the sale. Not that hard. >.>;;; Disgruntled employee rant.

    I get this all the time at work. But I don't work at the checkout, one of the service counters with no registers, so it's not nearly as bad. My biggest work pet peeve is that people don't read! They ask me the dumbest questions, and everything they wanted to know is right on a sign. Or ask if I work in the department next to mine (despite the fact that I'm standing behind my counter and don't really leave it). I understand that old people can't read small print, so they're generally not a problem. That's what I get for working in a nearby town full of white trash.

    I'm pretty laid back, but the one thing that really gets me is when people pull out in front of me on the road when there was plenty of room behind me, go ten miles per hour under the speed limit, and then immediately turn off on the next road. That, and tailgaters, but I just go 5 under the speed limit for them, speeding up at all the passing zones. If you tailgate, yes, I'm that asshole.

    For Tailgaters I had a car with a very neat "unwanted" function.
    The washing spray for the windshield was so strong, that even at full (legal) speed, the spray was splashing the windshield of the tailgating car. Droplets on the tailgating car were
    large engough for them to be forced to use their wipers (not very annoying, but you know
    that when there are drops on the shield, you tend to only see them...)
    By the time the guy searches their wiper command, the car was back in the safe zone. Repeat as many times as needed for the guy to understand

    Hmm...for me, its jackasses that gloat about doing dumb stuff that anyone can do, people that order me around without any legitimate claims to do so, and people who touch or play with styrofoam or balloons. The last one is actually quite debilitation to me, as it cases me mental and physical distress. Like, really, Ive gone comatose from heaing someone playiwith foam for like 5 minutes :\

    ...or large enough for them to get distracted while they natter away on their cell phone, and they don't notice the stop sign you are both approaching. They rear-end you, and then blame you.

    Using the insurance money, they purchase a large SUV, and then inadvertently kill the next person they are tailgating, or pedestrians.

    The only way to deal with these people is to piss them off more by going the speed limit, or slower. I happily move out of the way on the highway, unless I'm already going 75mph, they *really* piss me off, and no one is behind them. Then I slow down to match speeds with a large truck.

    I've literally had to go about 5 miles an hour in a 55 mph zone sometimes before people would get off my ass. Especially those with their brights on. Yeah, flood my fucking car because for some reason you can't see the road ahead of you thanks to my headlights. BUT DON'T PASS ME OR ANYTHING. Now I tailgate with my brights on for people such as those.

    And weed scavengers are the worst. They have a better nose for it than I do, for some reason they can smell me smoking it from the next town over.

    Finally someone who knows what I'm talking about. Usually the dumb questions I get are "How much is this with the sale price?"... as they hold up the item off a pile of them riiiight there with a BIG sign face level. Or a fun one, "How much is this?" without even giving me the item to do a 'no sale' scan to find out... do I look psychic? I'm a cashier. I check your things through and stuff em into bags. THAT is my job. Not memorizing the price of that specific brand of juice that no one's heard of :P

    When you meet a jackass idiot of a cashier that doesn't understand the concept of not wanting loose change. It comes out to like 19.01, and I hand them a $20 with a penny and what do they do? "What you trying to pull?" They hand back the fucking penny that I won't ever use elsewhere, and give me 99˘. What the fuck am I gonna do with that?

    When people try to give you advice on shit they clearly know nothing about.

    And finally, when people try to bother you about gas prices. You go into a station for a fillup and some asswipe who may be in your car will go "dude, the station at *obscure place* is like 5˘ cheaper." Well that's great, I'm gonna go 5 miles out of my way, burning up gas on the way, to save 5˘ per gallon of gas.

    That has never happened to me. I do that all the time, and the cashiers always know what's going on.

    I guess the con artists are still so rare here that usually the cashiers don't even come to think of such a possibilty.

    Well don't use damn ketchup.. that's like spitting in the stake's proverbial eye.. it totally covers up the flavor and shows how much of an uncultured backwater hick the applier of ketchup is. Or they are a freaky European.. like my friend Miguel.

    The ketchup adds another flavor.
    Beside, my meat don't have much flavors in them.. since I like it, well/over cooked(burnt?). (which remove almost entirely the juicy flavor)
    Now stop dising the ketchup! Not because you don't like it, mean everyone should do the same.
    And don't go saying i'm an idiot or something for loving my meat well/over cooked, I like it that way, like many other people.

    Having people stab you in the back whenever they have means to, especially when it's anonymous and they do this just for the heck of it.
    And I'm sure it will happen right after I wrote this.
