I have a new pet peeve. What is yours?

[f.sciarrillo]

I have this new pet peeve. It has to do with the phrase "Don't know nothing". Every time I hear that I want to tell the person that it is "Don't know anything", as saying "Don't know nothing" is actually telling the person that they know everything.

Of course I have others. Like when a blue haired bag in a Buick pulls out in front of you, only to go 20 mph and turn at the next block.

The first one mentioned is the biggest one .. Anyway - What is your pet peeve ??

[bassist4life2004]

Yes f.sciarrillo, inadvertant use of double negatives really chaps my ass too. haha

My biggest pet peeve would have to be talking during a movie. I cant stand it when someone starts talking right in the middle of a movie, especially during the good part. I think at my house im going to have to give everyone notepads and have them write down their comments or thoughts and share them after the movie or something.

Next in line would be girls who take pictures with puckered lips on myspace, or do the whole "myspace angle" for every picture. These girls have no idea just how retarded the look. I would rather see a girl give a straight face or a smile than a puckered face, or see a straight on picture than one that was taken from what seems to be a satellite or a suspension rope on their ceiling.

those are my rants

my newest one, since i'm a dad now is : everybody thinking they know what my daughter wants and needs at any given time when they are never around her except occasionally. most of mine and my wifes family have mostly relocated to other cities, so they only come to town occasionally but it seems like somebody is always at my house "visiting". my wife works mon.-fri. and i work on the weekends. i take care of my daughter all week, i know her evey need, every whine, squak, cry,giggle laugh. but for some reason i always have somebody telling me something that they're guessing at and then want to argue to the death about it. stupid syuff like: oh, shes starving or she wants down or she wants to do this or that. drives me absolutly fucking crazy. well , over christmas i let let everyone know my fellings on the issue and i tend not to sugar-coat things i think everybody is feelin what i'm saing now. needless to say i wasn't a big hit this christmas but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

See, when I watch a movie, I always do the whole "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" thing so we'd never be able to work anything out there, homeboy ...

Thats my M.O. also.

My biggest pet peave is people that talk about something as if they know all about it, then it turns out they don't know what the hell they are talking about, and I call them on it.

I talk about a lot of shit, but if I don't know what I'm talking about for sure I'll at least preface it with an "I think" or something along those lines.

I hear ya on that one. Back before my son started talking in full sentances (he's 3 now) everyone always thought that my way was the bad way, that even though i spent a lot of time with him i never knew what he wanted. I know exactly where you are coming from, but i always just let people do what they thought best, and when it didnt work i would do what i knew he wanted and it would instantly calm him down. It doesnt take much to figure out what he wants now tho, all he does is talk, and to be honest he talks better than most 6 or 7 year olds that i know. Hes even starting to read and spell. There are those times that he doesnt know what he wants, like when hes cryon and sad he doesnt know he needs a nap. lol

Yea Rob, ill never watch a movie in your presence now, might get ugly. lol

Good question. The movie that came out a couple of years ago is great.

[f.sciarrillo]

I know what you mean by the kids thing. I found, when my daughter was a baby, that the people who thought they were the biggest authorities, and know it alls, where people with out kids. That used to really erk my temper.

As far as talking during a movie, I can really dig that. I find it very difficult to watch a movie at my house at times. The thing that really upsets me is when you are watching one with some one who has to tell you what happens before it does! I totally dislike when some one spoils it like that. There were many of movies I quit watching in the middle of because of that very thing.

I've found for every person that tells everyone what is about to happen in the movie. There's another person that is constantly asking you what is happening in the movie, often asking you about something that will be revealed a nanosecond later. (ironically this is often missed by the fact that they are asking you in the first place) This happens to me all the time, usually if I've already seen the movie, but sometimes even if I havn't.

"who's that guy?"

"um, watch the movie....."

[movie]Hi, I'm so and so[movie]


if we could just get those groups of people together, everyone could watch movies happily.

[VENTGtr]

I don't know if it counts, but I tend to snore through movies at home...and occasionally
at theaters...but mostly at home. Hit "PLAY" on the remote and I'm out. Often, from
what I see of the movies I feel blessed for this being the case (EG: Larry the Cable
Guy's movie).

Although, I DID stay up through all of MST3K.

now we have DVR and my wife will just rewind at the drop of a hat. not because she didn't here something but because she wasn't paying attention. theres a difference.gabbing on the phone does not constitute a rewind while i'm still watching the program. (new man rule.) i just get pissed and go play with martin. C.F. Martin EST.1833 that is.

People thinking they're experts is a pet peeve of mine, with a twist.

I call them the "two-beer radio experts" - after two beers, they think they have accrued more wisdom about the radio industry (and how I and my broadcasting employer should run our station) than I have from working in radio for over 20 years. The pet peeve intensifies for me when such a person decides to lecture me with their newfound expertise while I'm trying to watch a band or artist perform. First, since there is music being performed, I probably can't hear a word the "expert" is saying to begin with. And second, I'm trying to pay attention to the music, and the "expert" is distracting my attention.

Moral of the story: Do not disturb JP when he is watching a band onstage, unless you do so with a free beer or wings...

How about this pet peeve:

You arrive at the gig & load in then maybe you want to wash your
hands, right? You locate the men's room & then discover certain necessary elements either out or missing completely. There's no soap, it's like "What"??!! Maybe you want to check your face & hair right before you go on stage. There's no mirror in there. Yeah, I've played countless dives but not to worry, I'm no greenhorn. Many years ago, I must confess, I started carrying certain items with me. When you're out in the field, many times you'll find that you just have to take care of yourself. There's nothing wrong with doing what you gotta do to feel good about what you're doing!

I would have to say that mine is when you are eating a restaurant and someone at another table is reading the menu out loud.

I have no idea why it bothers me so much. Reminds me of that Chris Farley SNL sketch where he (as a woman) reads the NYC Diners Guide out loud to his husband.

I dunno.

[kissmydagoass]

My pet peeve that I've always had but now have a name for thanks to my basic audio production class is the fact that almost every song that has come out since Cher released that stupid "Believe" song, has been pitch corrected to the point of retardness. The airwaves are filled with an army of Gucci clad robots, who now actually sound like robots.

[ToonaRockGuy]

My pet peeve is stupid people.

[VENTGtr]

Well said. Auto-tune is the spawn of satan...or whatever anti-deity one
so chooses to not support...or, for us Agnostics, the spawn of...something
not deity/anti-deity based yet still bad. BUT IT'S BAD!

[WitchChic]

My pet peeve is stupid people.

OMG ME TOOO!!!!

[RamRod 1]

When I'm in a band and we're just setting up and management comes over and starts whining about playing too loud. Now you know that when they do that, they're really mad about some other band that played there once before. You haven't even played a note yet and you're getting hell already!

[zman1200]

That darn Jim guy (name withheld) for putting locks on all the interesting discussions.

Remember Andy, background music. People are there to socialize, taste wine and eat hors d'oeuvres.

I would have to say that mine is when you are eating a restaurant and someone at another table is reading the menu out loud.

A twist on this one ... you know, I think it's probably universally accepted that farting in the middle of a restaurant dining area with people sitting right next to you at the next table is a big no-no. So why do rude fü©kers blow their noses in this hallowed space? I take my dining quite seriously and to me, the sound of snot flying out of someone's head is more offensive than a fart. For me, it's the most disgusting sound to hear when I'm about to put a bite of food in my mouth. All I can visualize is the fü©king gross $hit that's landing in that Kleenex or napkin or whatever and then my appetite's G-O-N-E.

Goddammit ... so many people do this, too. WTF? Why does eating food make people want to clear their nasal passages? I don't do this ... never dawns on me to blow my nose while eating. Why do so many people do it? Seriously?

One of these times, I'm going to get up, walk over to the table of the offending "blower" and rip the loudest fart I can muster to see if it gets a reaction, then ask them to explain why my fart was offensive and his/her snot flow wasn't. Fü©king pricks.

Reminds me of that Chris Farley SNL sketch where he (as a woman) reads the NYC Diners Guide out loud to his husband.

Farley and Sandler could sit in front of a camera and say nothing and still be funny. I love that skit.

i hear ya badaze, especialy the old guys that pull out the hankey with heavy boogulation already on it, blow theyre nose,look right at ya ,do a couple laps with the hankey over they're finger, fold it back up and stick it back in they're pocket. to me, that is like wipeing your ass at the table. if i see that, i'm getting a doggy bag and i'm outta-there if i'm not already pukeing.

that is something that should be taken care of in the bathroom. just like urination and defication.
