Pet Hates - What are yours?

[Darsnan]

in the supermarket, where one person coming down the aisle sees someone coming from the opposite direction down the same aisle, and they stop adjacent each other to gab incessantly, thereby blocking and congesting trafic in both directions. Happens at least once everytime I go to the local store! Typically I have 3 kids in my cart, which is a time bomb just waiting to go off, and I don't have time for the local gossipers to catch up on the nuances of why so-and-so painted their house a different shade of white (taken from an actual conversation I had to endure!). I put my head down, warn the kids to hold on, and gather speed with the shopping cart: its ramming time!!!!

[Al B. Sure!]

i 'hate' white people... for real, I can never be around most white males... just bothers me...

[General Ludd]

OK, I have one now.

My mothers cooking - yeah, it's good and all that, but she can't time it right and one part of the meal will usually get cold while the other finishes cooking, or she'll be yapping on the phone and let it burn. Then she cooks too much, and I end up eating leftovers for lunch just about everyday of the week.



Oh, and on a another (somehwat related) note, I hate cell phones, or phones in general.

[Guynemer]

Pet hates?

Why, cats of course.

[MrFun]

Mine would have to be straight guys who have to push their sexual orientation in public places by holding their girlfriend's or wife's hand. Or by talking about their girlfriend or wife.

Oh wait -- I take that back. I would never want to impose any double standards on straight guys.

[Starchild]

Those damn mole people that steal our gold and women.

[ColdWizard]

horses that call shopping carts "trolleys"

[connorkimbro]

1) people that make me take off my cruise control
2) people going slow in the fast lane
3) people passing me on the right.
4) people not using their turn signals
5) "enhanced" cd's.
6) when people are talking when i'm trying to watch a movie
7) when people talk to me when i'm trying to do something (ie. internet, read, playing video games, etc)
8) emails that contain the line "send this email to X number of people for good luck) or any variation of the same
9) people who just constantly send you instant messages online, even though you make it QUITE apparent that they are the most boring thing to ever happen to you.
10) ex-girlfriends that say they just want to be friends, and then act like the total *****es they are and are NEVER friends with you at all.
11) people that always ask to borrow a cigarette, quarter, dollar, pen, pencil, whatever, but never pay you back, and never have said items when YOU need to borrow one.
12) people being late for a planned meeting time.
13) people that crash your party and drink all your alcohol and then leave.
14) people that get WAY more drunk than they should and then make you take care of them.
15) people that start fights while drunk. said people should not be getting drunk at ALL, imo. if you can't keep your temper down while drinking, then don't drink.
16) people whining about things that can't be helped.
17) hell, people whining about anything at all. offer constructive, well thought out advice in the form of a discussion, or keep your damn mouth shut.
18) when ATM machines miss-report the amount of cash i have available, causing me to spend more than i have and bounce a check. (only happened once, and i learned my lesson, but DAMN i was pissed)
. . . . i could go on. . . .

[Zoid]

ppl who cant spell, or spell like 10 year olds.

spelling rulez coz i´m 2 fast 4 you!

[Usually Insane]

whiners, definetly. I hate them, this is bad this sux, your constructive advice disturbs my pleasent whining (at this point I make it real clear they should shut up or I'll strangle them)

People who drink to much and believes that they can act like total *******s because "they were so drunk!" it is a poor excuse to blame your behavior on a bottle with liquid.

people who act as if the world revovles around them, especially those upon who wakeup calls don't work. ignorance may be bliss but a good baseball bat does hurt.

Workaholics who act like they are martyrs, If you take on a job you are supposed to do it, not behave like you are carrying the whole load because you are such a suffering saint. you are an ass

[red_jon]

Connorkimbro would hate me, I talk all the way through films (even if I'm on my own ).
But that's not the worst thing - I can predict what will happen in most Hollywood films I haven't seen and do not hesitate to reveal the ending to everyone else watching it


I hate homophobia and strongly oppose it IRL. I also hate people who are prudish about sex.

Thought process of a us slow walkers when walking almong a city street: Aaah. What a lovely day. The sun is shining. Spring is literally in the air, I can smell it from that park over there. Look at the lustre of the grass! too bad the cherry trees are just falling out of bloom, that was wonderful while it lasted. Oh well. Coming up to the street corner, let me put on some music. Hmmm... Reggae. "Haile Selasse, Hai, Hai..." Ahh... Now, should I take Odengatan and see the hustle and bustle of city life or go down towards Dalagatan to catch that great Art Deco building? I think I'll do the latter.

Thought Process of a fast walker: ****! ****! ****! Lemme past, lemme past! Gotta go, I'm ****ing late, I'm ****ing LATE! Oh god I got one of those damn ****ing petals stuck in my hair again! I hate ****ing walking. Get out of my way, you slow bastard!

Now, which one of these has the more valuable time while walking?

[Solly]

1) People who don't meet you at the time they said they would

2) Lack of spatial awareness - e.g. people turning around and starting to walk without making sure they aren't going into someone's path, or walking out of shops straight into a stream of people. Or dawdling along slap bang in the middle of the pavement so you have to walk in the road to get past them.

3) Failure to use indicators when driving

4) Aggressive drunks

5) People who whinge about having to get up in the morning. Go to bed earlier you damn fool.

Am I the only one seeing a problem here?

My pet peeve is simple minded people refusing to accept that a problem might need more than two seconds of thought to be resolved.

I'm partially guilty of this myself, but that doesn't make it any less anoying.

It is very bad when prominent and popular politicians do it.
