What Pet Peeves Do You Have?

Corvo

Any form of repetitive or annoying noise. For instance, one day I was having an debate with someone over something in football, and just because I was starting to get the better of him he starts going "la la la la la la" really loudly over and over for ages. For that whole time he did that, I thought about piddling all over his mutilated dead body. Alarms etc would sometimes have the same effect.

Anyone that believes newspapers like the Sun etc.

The use of the word "jealousy" when meaning "envy".

Envy Jealousy
Definition: Envy is the emotion when you want something that someone else has. Jealousy is the emotion when you fear something or someone might be taken away from you.
Example: I'm envious of his car / her clothes / their holiday. It makes me jealous when she/he constantly sends texts to my partner. I jealously guard my bicycle from theft by securely locking it with a good quality lock.

Another would be this new D4 like accent that seems to be common nowadays with young people. "OMG" and all that shyte.

Saying "Can I lend..." instead of "May I borrow..."

Two errors in one short statement.

some personal hates are-
-people who use multiple personas on forums/those who tell total BS about themselves for attention or other reasons/ those who manipulate others deliberately because they dont recognise what theyre doing/serious cyber bullies and stalkers, they shoud be hunted down by ISPs,police and have their routers removed and be banned off the internet.
-benefit frauds-because they make the system far harder for those who genuinely need the help.
-people who still continue to base their understanding of complex disabilities on plain wrong and outdated stereotypes>these wannabe specialists suddenly undiagnose those of us who have the misfortune to come across them because we dont meet the stereotypes.
-jealousy.a horrible human trait,especialy when the jealous person becomes nasty over it.

Able bodied people who park in disabled parking spaces.

it depends on the definition of able bodied being used but someone who looks able bodied when getting out of their car in a disabled bay is not neccessarily a fraudulent user with no genuine need for them.
am speaking from a english point of view as both our countries have different criteria on blue badges anyway but many of us get blue badges without having physical disabilities but getting around/mobility is severely affected in other ways.

I think most of those are a little stronger than "Pet Peeves".

Fine Gael TD's starting each point with "the failings of the last government....."

Yes, the last government failed, that's why ye won the election. Now stop bull****e-ing on about stuff and actually do something to remedy the "failings of the last government"

Oh and talent shows and the constant search for the next big star, as if the music scene has completely dried up or something

Owldshtok

After getting served in a shop / pub / whatever and saying 'thank you' to whoever was being of service,and then being told - 'no problem.' NO NO NO The correct reply is 'You're Welcome'
You are doing your job and I am being polite.Why should it be a problem in the first place? I blame the Australians for starting this.

Another one is motorists and/or passengers who think they have the right to gawk and stare at pedestrians passing by when stuck in slow traffic.

The person working in the shop putting your change on the counter when your standing there with your hand out

people saying cheer up if your not as drunk as them

the shields the appear on some shortcuts in windows 7 caused by UAC(might be able to take this off the list though but it's still annoying)

people filling up the kettle, it takes ages to boil and only you having tea or about two people

"Bring your rubbish with you"

2 Lane motorway,
Truck in lane 1 of motorway doing 88 Kph
Truck in lane 2 or motorway doing 88.2 Kph

BMW's & Mercs in Lane 2 of the M50 doing 60 Kph with the driver clamping a phone to ear.

Drivers at the lights in the morning with coffee in one hand and makeup in the other.

Teachers that stand in the middle of the road after the green man has long gone and teach the kids from a very young age that the rules of the road don't apply to them, and that red lights are only advisory.

Kids who learnt from the teacher above who have now graduated to bikes.

Cyclist in dark clothing and with no lights on the bike that looked at me as much as to say it was my fault when I nearly killed him as he came towards me the wrong way round the corner on a one way street (City Quay/Lombard St E) at 9Pm on a wet December night.


Dublin Airport Authority.

The insane supposed traffic management system in central Dublin.

60Kph speed limits on a road that 2 years ago was deemed safe for 100Kph, and now the motorway's open, it has almost no traffic in comparison.

"The fact of the matter", especially when spouted by a politician.

Politicians that still haven't got the message that they are out of touch and despised by the vast majority of the country.

People that assume that I love donating my hard earned skills for free to solve their unsolveable problem.

The system that assumes that Capitalists get a nice comfortable warm cosy feeling from doing the job properly.

Capitalists that rip the world around them off.

Socialists that think that all men are equal

People that take sick days because "I'm entitled to them"

The concept that no matter how serious or significant the mistake, no one in the civil service can ever be made to answer for the mistake.

The fallacy that taking a local authority to court and fining them is going to change anything other than the level of service that is then provided

The fallacy that a job in the civil service is a pension for life.

The rugby scrum at the boarding gate for a Ryanair flight.

Having to face the reality of not having the energy or the enthusiasm to do things like I used to, and no longer having the money, or the way to earn it like I used to.

Seeing good people get fired for doing the job too well, and annoying the union reps as a result.

Quangos set up to "regulate the industry", and do it by making it uneconomic for the small companies to stay in the business.

Monopolies and cartels that charge the sun moon and stars for providing their version of "service".

The crazy price of oil and everything related to it.

The absence of real deterrents to serious crime, and the over harsh punishment of minor misdemeanours.

Call centre computerised call routing services that don't.

"Thank you for calling ********, Your call is important to us. All of our operators are busy, please hold and your call will be answered by the next available operator".

Voice mail services that are full

Answering machines that don't.

Car park spaces that are too short for the vehicle

Underground car parks that are so congested with pillars that at least 50% of the spaces are only accessible with a Mini.

Plastic tie wraps all over every light pole in the country.

Housing estates the size of some small towns that only have one way in and out, and no signs to indicate where that point is.

Quangos that reply to every point in a letter sent to them that say "that issue is outside of our area of responsibility"

Having to pay supposed "environmental charges" that are very little to do with the environment and a lot more to do with a particular politicians view of a subject.

Being forced to pay to rescue the banks from their gambling debts, and then seeing those same bankers pay inflated fees to fat cat solicitors to harass people that haven't a snowflake in midsummers chance of ever being able to pay them back.

Local authority officers that don't even bother to acknowledge letters sent to them about serious infrastructure defects.

Planners and architects that still have not learnt that pedestrians and vehicles right outside the entrance to the stores don't mix, especially when it's somewhere like Smyth's Toys, but they still put the main access route past the doors.

The unprintables that designed the traffic snarl up that is supposedly the Blanchardstown shopping centre.


The sickening realisation that despite the frenzied efforts of hundreds and sometimes thousands of people, there's sweet fcuk all that we can do to change way too many of the above.

"press Any key to continue" Where's the fcuking ANY key?????????????

Entitled my Arse, they should bring back the workhouses for scrounging fcuks like that.
