I have a new pet peeve. What is yours?

[Banned]

One of my biggest pet peeve's is when someone has a cold ,and keeps sniffing it back in their nose instead off blowing that shit out. know wonder everybody is aways sick or got the flu.............

[DirtySanchez]

People posting their personal lives on the internet, like we all give a fuck.
Oh and every dramatic bitch that has to be a fucking mysace poet.
You see these girls' fucking myspace with poems so long and full of nonsensical bullshit, you know they have no fucking life whatsoever.

I guess both of these fall into the same category, but I could go on all day about what gets under my skin. I may seem all warm and fuzzy, but actually I'm a very irritable bastard.

Bands that abbreviate their names into acronyms. It's confusing, especially when it's a multi-band show, to try to figure out who's playing the show.

"Come see TYG, NP, XYZ and DRP Saturday night."

Just spell the name out ... please.

HAHAHAHAHA.. or when you read reviews from the bands themselves on music sites..


"great job by all at last night's ABR, NJ, TVOCL, EOA, OTVOR, ABACABB, TTEOTD, and 1D3W..."


uh, can i buy 3 vowels and 24 constanants?

Here's two of mine:

1. People who grossly violate the Speedy Checkout aisle requirements. It gets worse when they have screaming children and their Access Card won't seem to get approval.

2. People who buy the scratch-off lottery tickets at a convenience store and insist of scratching them at the counter with a strong likelihood that they'll buy many more in the next hour while the other two lines of customers are wrapping around the entire store.

Holy crap ... I am so with you on this one. People at grocery stores/Wal-Mart fü©king suck when it comes to this.

Allow me to add this: I hate it when people go through those self checkouts and let their kids operate the equipment. I only go through the self checker when I'm in a hurry. That's what they're for.

It seems like many times there's a 5-year-old kid trying to scan his or her mothers' 50 ITEMS (these aisles are generally reserved for 10-15 items or less) in front of me in line. I usually only have three or four items when I'm going for the self checker and this game playing really pisses me off.

Want to entertain you kids? Take them to the playground, not the grocery store.

Two good points. People with access cards should have their own checkout lane.

Also, people buying cigarettes at places (IE: Martins) the cashier has to walk somewhere else to get them while I wait behind them in line. What BS.

[Jim Price]

In the same vein, a long time pet peeve of mine is the little old man or lady who blocks up the line at the convenience store buying daily lottery number tickets, all fifty of their numbers...And then twenty Big 4's; and then the Powerball with their specific numbers, which they can't fill out on the slip and submit, they have to have the cashier punch in the numbers for them. If I was in charge of the store, you could buy five tickets, then go to the back of the line if you want more so you're not making everybody else wait.

no i had something else written here and had a blonde moment, hitting submit and not preview and couldnt erase it

You guys think that's bad, throw a Mexican in the mix. One that can't speak English of all things. You try and say, you have too many items for this line. They act like you don't exist, or just don't care for that matter.

Also annoying: that drunk guy. You know who I'm talkin about.

[f.sciarrillo]

When I worked for wal-mart I used to get the people with a cart full trying to go threw the 10 items or less line all the time. The most common excuse I heard was: "I didn't know this was a ten items or less", it used to really tick me off. I actually got written up one time because a customer with a cart full asked if they can go threw the line; I said: "sure, what ten items would you like to check out". Needless to say, she was jacked lol

Also, the thing with the access card. Those people thought they were the most important customers in the store. They were the ones who did the most complaining and whining out of any of them. You don't know how bad I wanted to tell them a few choice words, but couldn't.

I agree with jim on the lottery thing. It drives me nuts when you go to a store and see a customer in the front with a fist full of cards and buying everyone in site, while scratching what he has there. I think a lot of them do it on purpose, they have to know it ticks the people behind them. The thing that really gets the goat is that it always happens when you are in a hurry.

[Jim Price]

I witnessed the access card episode first-hand while doing some last-minute shopping the Saturday before Christmas. I was waiting in line at the Tyrone Family Dollar store, and the lady in front of me was trying to do a return and a purchase using her access card. The cashier repeatedly told the woman that she couldn't do a return on an access card, and the lady kept arguing and trying to use the card. Meanwhile, the woman's two brat kids were running amok and pestering her to buy stuff for them, so she wasn't paying full attention to the cashier. It was chaotic, and you could see the cashier getting irritated as she kept trying to explain the store policy to this woman. Eventually the message got through, and the woman finally did the transaction as the cashier explained it.

I was next in line, and when I stepped up, the cashier immediately apologized to me for the wait. I just said, "I used to work in retail, I feel your pain."

hillarious.

while we are on the subject of things the people in front of you in line do that piss you off; people that pay with a check. Who still uses a check?

LMAO

That was worth getting written up for. Good stuff!

One thing that pisses me off is people with inferiority complexes and their inferiority complexes are expressed when the person is behind the wheel of an automobile. I know that these people would be afraid of their own shadows outside of three tons of steel, but get them behind a wheel, and they become cocky sons of bitches.

A week ago, I was driving on a road that is a 55 zone. There's this guy in an older Caravan on a side road who's stopped at a stop sign. He obviously has enough time to see me but decides to pull out in front of me anyways. So of course, I had to hit my brake and slow down to 20 mph. That's not enough; this dude decides to drive 15 mph below the speed limit. Now, I'm familiar with the older Caravans/Voyagers only being 4 cylinders, but my car's only a V4 too. This BS goes on for about seven of eight miles. Finally, I get to an open passing zone and overtake this guy. Well, I've bruised his ego with that one. He precedes to ride my ass for the next mile, and then passes me at the next passing zone. He then rides the rest of the way down the road doing the speed limit. Yes, I was shown who the alpha male was in that instance. LOL

Also, 4 ohm 2x10 bass cabs: What the hell is the point of a 2x10 bass cab that has an impedance of 4 ohms? If you're running a single 2x10 and you need a 4 ohm cab to max out the wattage of your head, then you need a more powerful head. Chances are that you're not going to be decimating buildings with a single 2x10, so what's the big deal with the 150 more watts you'd get out of the head? And if you're running your head down to 2 ohms just to be loud enough, maybe it's time for a new head. Get an 8 ohm cab, that way you can run another cab for any gig bigger than the local coffee shop.

Just a rule of thumb, minivans always go slow. I don't know why, but they do.

Peeve #3 - When a motorist sees that you're driving 3 times faster than what they ever will, but pulls out in front of you when you're 10 feet from the intersection. This motorist is probably driving a minivan and the kids in the back seat are probably watching The Best of Barney. It gets much worse if you minivan has Florida or D.C. plates.

[Colton]

Bobby, Id totally play freebird with you guys!

[f.sciarrillo]

I experienced the minivan episode quite a bit. The thing that really got me was that they would go slow in the non passing zone, but, when you got the passing zone they would speed up, and/or try to keep you from passing them.

those are for people like me, who's amp goes to 2 ohms, and currently run a 4 ohm cab all the time.

for what its worth, yamaha makes a 1x10 4 ohm cab.

[witchhunt]

Amen. There's a motherfucker in Bedford who's been on welfare forever and buys a new car about every other year. How the Hell do they do that?

I just think its bullshit that in this country you can work your nuts off to achieve something, and someone else is sitting by doing absolutly nothing and achieving a lot more. I worked for a year before i could afford to make payments on a 2001 PT Cruiser, and these people get on the 'fare and buy new cars left and right.

I drive by government-subsidized housing every day. Parked outside of one unit is a Nissan Altima with a 3.5L V6. Probably a $28,000 car when new. Doesn't quite qualify as basic transportation. Rent is probably almost free thanks to you and me.
