Love this thread! I came up with two tonight at the gym-
*moron muscleboys who can't rerack their own weights. I"m 5'6" and 120lbs. I cannot remove the 100lb plate you left on the machine I want to use! ggrrr!!
*the ridiculous little girl with her skin tight yoga pants and push up sports bra blabbering on her cell phone on the eliptical next to me. She managed to make it a whole six minutes before she sauntered over to the water fountain and then back into the locker room.

Bank tellers who ask you what you do for a living when you deposit a large sum of $1's. (It's none of their damn buisness!)
When newbies try to copy every thing you do to a tee! Onstage & off !!!!
Bouncers who think they know more about the buisness than you!

1. It is LOSE weight not LOOSE.
^^^That bugs me too! I'm a spelling nerd and I hate spelling errors. LOL Also, it's "definitely," not "definately." TONS of people spell that word wrong. And "irregardless" is not a word.

And "irregardless" is not a word.
It's a word, it's just not a real good one and is basically considered informal or casual.
2 entries found for irregardless.
ir·re·gard·less
adv.Nonstandard Regardless.
Probably blend of irrespective, and regardless.
Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

irregardless
adv : regardless; a combination of irrespective and regardless sometimes used humorously
When people use the wrong words bothers me too. I'm not English teacher, but I do pay attention to what I'm doing. Like I mentioned before, one of my biggest peeves (besides the Netspeak.. blah) is when people put apostrophes where they don't belong. That bugs me so damn much.

- Moron muscleboys who either park right RIGHT next to you when the whole 2 floors of the gym are wide open; or who park next to you obviously trying to out-do you/check you out. Yes I work out, I know I'm a big girl, I can lift more than you, accept it and go away!
- People who drop their kids off at the gym like it's a daycare.
- Guys who insist on yelling/grunting while lifting.

I'm completely PMS'ing today, so please bear with me: :devil:
--Putting dirty clothes on the floor right next to the hamper. Would it kill you to toss the clothes a few inches to the left/right?
--Putting dirty dishes next to the sink or on the counter above the dishwasher. Why can't people put their dishes IN the dishwasher?
--People who call me, repeatedly, until I answer the phone. If I don't answer the phone the first 50 fucking times...that means I'm busy!
--When I say NO, it means NO. It doesn't mean that it commences the "debate hour with mommy". No means no.
--Nail techs who repeatedly ask if I want a pedicure after I have a manicure...after I've said "No, thank you."
--It's congraTulations...not congradulations.
--People who drip sweat all over the cardio machines and don't clean it up when they are done (ewwww).
--People who go to the bathroom and don't wash their hands when they are done.
--People who feel the need to violate my personal space when they're talking to me. There's nothing worse than having somebody come right up into your face while talking to you...especially if you don't know them.
--People who insist on giving my daughter a hug or try to violate her personal space...and when she runs behind me...they keep trying. It takes all of my patience to politely say, "She's not interested in hugging you. Thanks for respecting that." Instead of saying, "Listen asshole, when someone runs AWAY from you, it's because they don't want you doing what you're doing."
--People who sneak my daughter candy, after I've already told them no.
--People who see you coming with an arm full of groceries and a toddler and don't do anything like open the door/hold the door open. They just stand there and watch you struggle with everything.
--People who park >< this close to my car. Especially when there is plenty of space not to.
--People who cut me off on the expressway with just enough space to not cause an accident...especially when there is no one in front of us. Impatient Bastards.
--Truckers who like to get right up on my bumper when we're stopped in traffic.
--Women who think applying their make-up while talking on the cell phone and driving is safe. I saw one yesterday...weaving all over the road...I also saw a cop shoot out from nowhere and pull her over. Cell phones are good for something. ;)
--People who honk at you to go the micro-second the light turns green.
--Mommy-cliques at pre-school. WE ALL GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL ALREADY...GROW UP!!
That's all I can think of...heh heh

LOL! I had that happen once. I was depositing just over a hundred singles I'd accumulated, and the girl behind the desk goes, "Sheesh, girl, how'd you get all those ones?" I just gave her a patronizing smile and said very patiently, "Dancing naked." She shut the fuck up after that!

venusofwillendorf, i am also curious, what is your pet peeve with straight girls?
more of mine:
people that interrupt constantly.
people who chew/eat loudly or with their mouth open. loud chip-crunchers especially.
when people spell y'all like this--ya'll.
when my cats scratch the side of the bed when we have an effing scratching post.
people who constantly lie and make things up. almost as bad, people who exaggerate everything to make their story sound better. it's one thing when it's obvious they are exaggerating for the sake of humor, but when they try to make it sound better/worse/more amazing etc. especially when i was there, saw/heard the whole thing.
control freaks
myself being so lazy :)
waitresses/retail sales people/anyone waiting on me who either has a rude attitude or treats me as an afterthought while they talk to their friend or read their magazine instead of acknowledging me when i'm obviously standing there waiting for assisstance. do your fucking job!

Until you have your own child (or litter of them) you cannot knock this. I thought this was bad, too...until I had to walk around with a 3 year old. They, by nature, love to take off running for something. When you mix that with a bunch of people around...it's not good. Places like malls and other stores are perfect for assholes to pluck your kid. At least with the leash, you can let them run around and burn off energy (and get some nap time in later). Otherwise, you have a child who WANTS to run around, but can't because you keep them in the stroller.
I'm all for child leashes. :thumbsup:

*people who wear non matching socks. On purpose.
*small pee pees
*straight men
*that second stream of piss you get after you wake up/whack it like 7 times. IT NEVER HITS THE BOWL its all like up in the sink and in the shower and on the wall and shit, and someone is ALWAYS walkin in on you when you're cleaning it up.
*Opening night at the movie theater and cell phones
*"Yoda Man"
*People who forget to order something in drivethrough and put it in REVERSE.
*Transformers of current style *ugh*
*Low-End Clubs <see blue side>
*DogFarts. They are EVIL.

Right now my major pet peeve is these assholes partying it up in the parking lot outside of my apartment. I mean at first I thought they were leaving and just making noise but it's been over an hour. What the fuck do you do in a PARKING LOT on a Thursday night for that long making that much noise and slamming doors? Maybe I should call the cops and try to get them some nice DUIs because I'm sure they are all wasted. Fuckers. And I have to get up at 6 a.m. too goddamit!

i dont hate the men with big trucks if they are actually for a purpose... but most are just body lift kits and rediculous sized wheels and tires... all show to dick compensate. now if the truck is actually built for a purpose... like rock crawling (its actually fun!), or mudding (less fun but hey, you get dirty!), then i can see the point because then its a work of art built around a purpose (i see them the same way you build a muscle car to drag). but yea... anything done to a vehicle thats purely cosmetic and has NO point is stupid... its all about the sleepers. oh yea... and theres another reason those men cant park big trucks... the trucks are big to compensate for their lack of brain power to drive (they just use the size to push other drivers around)

...and when they eventually do turn, they turn opposite of the direction that they signaled.
And while I'm here...
- People who put stuff in the back of their pickup and don't tie it down properly. Some dipstick actually bought a box spring and mattress from my parents furniture store a couple of months ago and when we asked if he needed anything to tie it down, he said "nah, I should be able to get it home".
Sure enough, about an hour later, he came back with a ruined mattress. It had apparently flew off his truck bed, onto the highway, and another car ran over it.

Okay, here's mine, mostly from working at a gas station:
*not reading signs, and after having them pointed out to you, thinking that you are exempt (i.e, please present ID with personal checks, etc)
*paying for $17 in gas... with only quarters. Yes, that really happened. Along with people bringing in a huge baggie of mixed change and saying, "That's $5, I swear; can you put me on pump 3?"
*bitching about prices, of anything, to an attendant. I don't set 'em, honey.
*old people who cannot even sign their own name to a check (yes, I had to sign his own f*cking name, for chrissake), and will then bitch about how everything's gone to sh*t because they have to pump their own gas... these people shouldn't be allowed to drive!
*blowing smoke in my face, and then bitching about not being able to smoke in some gas stations, because after all, you can buy cigarettes there. I told that guy just because we sold condoms, didn't mean I wanted him screwing in my store. He shut up then.
*scratching lottery tickets at the counter... while there's a line... and leaving the mess.

Noooo......it's just that when you see those little ass pickup that are beat to hell and are barely hanging in there and the bed of the truck is full of odds and ends and hauling a load the truck probably can't handle........These are the real workers who need those big ass trucks for work not for looks or social status.
Reminds me of a couple I knew. Both of them were about 5'3" and they bought this huge Dodge Ram lifted truck. It was so sad and hilarious that they didn't realize how ridiculous they looked in this truck. They could barely climb into it because they were so short and the truck was lifted so high. And they had no purpose for this truck other then to drive to and from work and try to look cool.
They made themselves look even more desperate. :P

I can one up that .
Our former neighbor used to send his dog across the street and into our yard to poo and pee. He wouldn't even leave his doorway and instead just sat there and watched for the dog to finish and then call it back. >:(
He never walked the dog either, ever. Oh and this wasn't even an old man he was 40 something tops. He was just a lazy jerk.

I take the car as a walk-in and it needs immediate work or its will undoubltedly destroy the engine. I need to work tonight, I work alone, and I need to drive.
They don't have any loaners because those were given to owners with "appointments." There's a lot full of pretty shiny Beemers and they can't manage to dig one up for me?????
What's the point? Even my old Chevy repair center would find me a loaner or, good heavens, GO TO ENTERPRISE AND RENT ME A CAR YOU BITCHES!!!!!!

-When people say "how are you" as a form of hello so you don't know if you should say just hi or how you are
-Slowpokes
-Cold weather
-When some people get mad about people saying "they" instead of "he or she". Give it a rest
-When you drive to pick someone up and you both timed the whole pick ahead of time, but when you get there they invite you in and have you sit there watching them in a towel just start to pick out their clothes.

Ugh...went clubbing in Amsterdam last weekend and ran into my #1 peeve of all pet peeves...people who go out on the dance floor and JUST STAND THERE.
There was this one dude...obvious tourist, who looked like his friends dragged him out of the hotel...saw him *twice* in two different rooms, just standing in the middle of a crowded dance floor, literally with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face. For Chrissakes, you paid €25.00 just to get in the damn place, and now you're not going to drink or dance?
I wanted to scream out "Dance, Pull (try to pick someone up), or Get the Fu*k off the Dance Floor" because I wanted to get my groove on, in my last night in Amsterdam, and this goofball was acting like the biggest party pooper.

the reasons why straight girls annoy me (and yes, i realize that not all straight girls are like this. keep your panties on.):
they don't understand that they're flirting. "what? you mean asking you to rub my breasts and then grabbing you and kissing your neck is a come on? seriously!?!"
they think that bisexuality is just some sort of trend i follow.
they're under the impression that lesbianism is a con to attract and/or frustrate men.
they are perfectly willing to lead me on- it makes all the boys sit up and pay attention.
they think strap-ons are just for when men aren't around.
they get angry at me for taking up a man's time when i could be satisfied with just another lonely woman.
they get even angrier at me for having the guts to admit i'm not like them, and that i'm proud of it.
they sometimes thinks it's fun to be "political lesbians", i.e., forsake men for the sake of "feminism". then they get mad at me for using a "psuedo-man". in case you hadn't noticed, ladies, dicks are an excellent shape for g-spot stimulation. and honey, if you can't take the pussy, get out of the ballroom.
when push comes to shove, all they really want is to be taught how their own bodies work. then they're suddenly too busy for you- they now know what orders to give the men.
