and they may not even REALIZE that they're doing it! I will start out by saying this thread will be about pet peeves.

My biggest pet peeve, I think, is the word aks. as in, "Let me aks you a question." or "I aksed him why." I always want to tell said person, " well, if you AXED him, no wonder he's upset!" Or something to that effect...

Also, I'm a big fan of people who know the difference between there, They're and their. just me, though...

(I really hope this doesn't get HOSed....)

When people get on my nerves, they're usually doing it on purpose. Probably the thing I hate most is when they run out of material and they start reminding me of stupid stuff I did in like 3RD GRADE! I don't remember most of that stuff! I can't wait to get the hell out of high school...

Not using their head on something realllllly obvious....

I can understand if someone has a major brainfart once in a while, but when I see it done *repeatedly*, I want to reach out and smack someone.

When my mother repeats the same thing over and over and over and over again and then can't tell why i'm getting annoyed!

When my dad turns the bass on the radio back down, everyone knows music sounds better with the bass whacked up to the max!

When my roommate plays rap loud enough to make the walls vibrate.

When my roommate does this at 2am when I have class the next day.

When my roommate sleeps at 3pm and therefore expects me to be dead silent.

When I have to take care of my roommate so he doesn't die from alcohol poisoning.



Fortunately, I'll have a new roommate soon.

I can't STAND when people are hypocritcal, especially on important issues.

I really can't people who practice favoritism or undeserved elitism.

It kind of bugs me when people start singing songs to themselves, sometimes really loudly. And it's especially annoying when they're my age. When you're sixteen, you should be more mature than that, right?

And then those people who use some of the most outdated words in the English language when speaking annoy me too.

Rubbernecking. I hate rubbernecking. I am not the most patient man at the best of times. It really chaps my ass when I am late getting somewhere because someone had an accident on the interstate, and traffic is backed up because everyone wants to slow down and stare.

As a police officer, I've lost count of the number of accidents I was investigating, at which I heard the squeal of tires, followed by a crash, as rubberneckers just caused a second accident because they weren't fucking looking where they were going.

Next time you see an accident on the road, if it's being dealt with and you are not needed to stop and give assistance, EYES FRONT PEOPLE!

When my mother comes into my room and hovers RIGHT OVER ME.

I like my personal space. Sheez.

Rubber necking is high because honestly...unless you're going to pull over and help...you're causing a scene for no reason.

Arrogance, hypocrisy are all up there...but the thing that gets me the most is a type of thinking I have no idea what it's called but essentially boils down to this:

-Since we don't know everything, let's question every bit of science every thought up of, and when you engage us in a debate we'll give vague positions and never be able to hold a position other then critize.

One of my best friends holds this about science in general to the point if I argue with him he reverts to this position constantly...and introducing math just confuses him even more.

I love him as a friend but seriously he could use a semester or two of a calculus to start. So usually out of friendship I don't engage any science debates because winning is because I corner him into saying he has no clue either and just gets me frustrated since he's learned jack shit and I wasted 6 hours trying to tell him Energy is neither created nor destroyed(to which he goes into some circular logic that we don't live long enough to give definite proof otherwise)

Chewing with their mouths open. Stop doing tht goddammit!

Yeah, though I usually get paranoi when people get close, hover around me, and then stare.

In my case it's my mom always finding the worst possible time to interrupt me so she can "get to know me better" and have a touchy-feely conversation with me.

Wait'll you get a real life stalker. Those are always "fun" to have.

People who ask me for money or cigarettes. No, I don't have any money and even if I did have some money, I'm not giving it to you!

Poeple that lick their fingers. I am absolutely disgusted by this. Maybe because I work in a funeral home and wash my hands constantly, or maybe it's because I am actually aware of how dirty and unsanitary hands and fingers actually are.

I remember sitting in a coffee shop the other night eating soup. There was an obese man sitting in the booth next to mine and he kept sucking shit off his fingers. I was really tempted to say something, but I figured he probably didn't have alot of self esteem anyway...

Bottom line, sucking your fingers is sick.

One thing that really shits me is posers and the like, I hate the way they try to get attention by being loud and annoying.

People who talk loudly. God, stop screaming and asking stupid questions! Are you unable to comprehend the concept of listening so you won't have to ask for an explaination of what was just said?

People who say 'pwned', as in "Dude, you pwned him!" or "I'm pwning you." and are doing it DELIBERATLY! Accidental misspellings are bad enough, but now we do it on purpose?! It just irks me.

And people who cannot flush after using the facilities.

GEEZ, do you do this at home!?!?!?!!!!!

Just a change of room form. He's Saudi though, and it would be easy enough to get him kicked out of the country. If thats what it had taken, thats what I would have done.

What irritates me is people who get peppers in their vaginas over the fact that language is a fluid entity.

Go back to grunting if linguistic evolution pisses you off so much.

Let me guess, you have a hit out on Ein as we speak, right? I agree with you fully. I can't stand when people purposely misspell shit or do haxor garbage or type "u" as opposed to "you" like it's so much of an effort to tap two more keys.
