Bizarre Pet Peeve?

[Cranjis McBasketball]

You know something that really irks me? When asks "would you mind......" then the person says "Yeah."

For instance, "Would you mind holding my sandwich while I tie my shoe?" And the guy goes "Yeah, sure." and Holds your sandwich while you tie your shoe. It bugs me because it's "No. I wouldn't mind"

For me, it is people dragging their feet across carpet, so it makes that horrible noise.

Still not nearly as bad as coins on plastic tables WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS YOU UNFORGIVABLE ******S OF ****** WITH ****** ON TOP CAN'T YOU ***** HEAR HOW ******** GRATING THAT IS YOU **********************************************************************?!

My apologies. I'm good now.

I hate it when someone is speaking to me and use 'we' when it should be 'you' because it is ME who has to do something. For example, I didn't hit one of my target goals at work and the boss says "What can we do to prevent this from happening again?" I suppose I will (insert corrective action here) to better improve. I know 'we' statements are less confrontational, but I prefer to be told what I need to do because we won't be sitting at my desk doing the work, I will.

The phrase 'go ahead' when asking someone to do something. Think Lumbergh from Office Space. What am I going ahead of? Ahead of you asking me to do this task? Because you just said it.

I don't know why I hate it so much and it's not bad for people to use it, it just gets under my skin. One of these days we will get over it. Ugh

With go ahead, I think it is a shortened way of saying "You should go right ahead and do that" or that you could, kind of like how I think "I could care less" is probably a corruption of people initially saying "I COULD care less, but not much" rather than "I couldn't care less", given that it is almost always used sardonically, and "I couldn't care less" doesn't have that tone, but outright disdain instead.

That does sound correct, but every time I hear it I think of my former middle management who had to be the source material for Lumbergh. I guess I am just, as the thread title states, bizarre.

[SEAN CARLESS]

Wanting to see old or recent matches on Youtube, clicking on a link, and finding out that it's just some retard that uploaded a sim'd match from WWE'13. Pisses me off every time.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

The word "overrated." It's not even a real criticism.

[Father Dougal McGuire]

One thing that bugs me is during burger joint commercials they push down the bun and show the condiments ooze out. For some reason that grosses me out.

[Throwback]

pets dressed as people. Hats are ok and sometimes funny. Shirts can be kind of cute at times. But WHO PUT PANTS ON THE F***ING DOG?

[King Ghidorah]

When people hijack my lighter and don't return it, I will hunt you down, I swear to god.

[Hurbster]

Crappy wrestling fanfics.

[Young Game]

Seeing people out in public in "lazy clothes" i.e. pajama pants, Crocs, and the like.
I'll admit I can be a lazy bastard most of the time, but even I can muster up the effort it takes to put on a decent pair of pants and tie my shoes.

Oh well.

A friend of mine would buy a bunch of lighters from the local Adult Video & Novelty shop with like dongs and muscle dudes in Speedos on them.

Ridiculous? Probably, but no one ever kept his lighters.

My pet peeve is when I am at a bar or restaurant with a friend and they ask what I am ordering. I usually tell them, so then they say " I should get that too." In my head I feel you should think for yourself and not copy me.

Ohhh man...do this ever get on my nerves. It's why I've started ordering my own customized drinks i.e. The Shining Wizard (vodka, Jagermeister, and Sprite).

It costs a little extra and most people that have tried it just flat out don't like it. "It's too strong." they say.

I hate pet clothes that don't serve a function. Pet sweaters and booties actually keep them warm, and maybe something with a hood would protect their ears, but pants would just get peed all over probably.

[Dave the Dave]

Everyone in my department at works smokes. That's fine.

But they all say, "I'm going to go have a delicious cigarette" when they take a break.

For some reason phrasing it that way annoys me off so much.

[Deleted]

The use of "of" in place of "have."

"I would of gone to the store but I knew it would make more sense if I could of taken a car."


English please?

[Orange]

When you're walking in to a big store, there are doors that are clearly labeled "Enter" and "Exit".

DON'T f***ING MIX THESE UP! IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO READ THE SIGNS ABOVE THE GOD DAMN DOORS!

It annoys me to no end when you're going out the exit door with a cart full of stuff and you have to stop and move so some ignorant asshat who's incapable of reading at a Kindergarten level and doesn't know how to pay attention can waltz through the WRONG DAMN SET OF DOORS THAT ARE CLEARLY MARKED!

Drives me crazy.

[Hassan bin Sober]

My pet peeve is people stopping to rifle through their purse or decide which direction they want to go immediately after enter a store thus holding up the line of people behind them trying to get in. Just walk a few more steps and then screw around with the stuff/decide where you're going.
