PET PEEVES, HANG UPS, AND OTHER THINGS THAT GET ON YOUR NERVES.

CloseI made this topic in General instead of the Moronic Stuff forum because I hope to get some actual discussion and such instead a bunch of LOLs and such. Which by the way, General Discussion isn't just for dead serious topics SERIOUS BUSINESS topics, guys.
Anyway, what are your pet peeves, annoyances, hang ups (dating, opposite sex, etc.)? Share, discuss, etc. Maybe we can get a good discussion on, feel free to comment on someone else's list/post.
Passive Aggressive Women.
I FUCKING HATE IT when people are passive aggressive. This is number one for a reason. Not necessarily all passive aggressive traits, but specific ones. People who're afraid to start a confrontation, so they're sneaky instead. In my own experience, this is usually exhibited by girlfriends who 'hint around' to their boyfriend (me) about a problem expecting the other person to figure it out or read their minds in order to solve it. Other examples include people saying 'UM ERR UM' and being terrible problem solvers. I think I got this from my father actually, I remember when I was little, I would ask my dad something, and I'd beat around the bush and go 'um' a lot, and he'd yell at me; 'STOP BEING A PUSSY AND SAY WHAT YOU MEAN, I CAN'T FUCKIN' READ YOUR MIND, BOY' I know it's a relatively common trait, so unfortunately I can't hate the people themselves.
I'll post more as the topic goes on; I'm full of 'em.

When people lie straight to your face, God that's annoying. Also little teenagers trying to act gangsta, always thinking their tough but you having to hold back as to their to small to beat up on. IF YOU LISTEN TO RAP MUSIC IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU A THUG. Another one is when people try to use acronyms for times when their not needed at all.

Speaking of which, you know what I notice people like that do and it's really irritating?

Anyway.
My biggest one is similar- when a girl is mad, and you ask them why, and they do that, sneer and the "You should already know."
That's about the time that I want to explode.
I am thankful that this has never happened to me, but I still want to explode every time I see it or hear about it happening. To anyone this has happened to, you have my deepest sympathy.

I can get annoyed when people keep making the same mistake that I warn against. However, it doesn't bother me that much since I'm one of those people who like to help people with such problems. (Although if they do it on purpose then I'll just get pissed off.)

I hate when people use disclaimers to qualify what theyre about to say.
Examples:
"I don't mean to be a jerk, but you're a worthless human being."
or
"I don't mean to brag, but I am the reincarnation of the Lord Jesus Christ."
And also, people who forcefully give advice or meddle/intervene in personal matters when it's not asked for. Example... a girlfriend's cantankerous friend who feels that she needs to protect the girlfriend by having to "approve" of the boyfriend.
Yeah that shit is pretty irritating.
Really irritating.
However, I will say that if said person constantly talks about a problem they have, they have no right to complain when the listener comes down on them hard!

I get annoyed when people lie to me and afterwards just say it was a joke. That really pisses me off.
We have kids like that in our street and when you tell them off they go crying home to there parents. :)

I really hate it when people don't dicipline their kids. No, seriously. People need to keep their kids in control. My dad beat my ass when I was a fuckup, and I learned from it. You don't pull that crap, you don't get a sore ass. Now with social services and crap, kids are just running amuck, and all I wanna do is beat the crap out of the parents (as it is not my job to dicipline anyone else's kids) so they understand the value of a good spankin'.
Spoiled kids, but they don't just get on my nerves, they make me utterly sick. I hate them, they don't know how good they have it. They should be shipped out to a 3rd world country for a couple of weeks (preferably not on a reality TV show >_<).
Also, people that eat Pizza with a knife and fork, all my family do it xD. The queen isn't sitting next to you for christs sake, just pick up a slice!

Here lately, especially when Hillary Clinton was runnin' around trying to secure the votes of most married women, there were all these speeches going around about people hating video games. There's even a video game "detox" clinic in the Netherlands that all they do is try to break people of the habit of gaming. My point iz not that I hate people that hate video games, I hate the people that are trying to make me change my life because they don't like what I do.
Those types of people irk me. Do I go door to door and preach about anything? Hell no, everyone has the right to be who they are and like what they like. I don't tell my dad to stop smoking just because I don't like it. He doesn't tell me to give up my dream of making children's books because he finds it to be a pipe dream. I'm not going to make my grandma give up cross-stitch because I don't like it. I have my hobbies, everyone else has theirs.

I not disciplining children thing is really bad. When a dog pees on your carpet, you don't give him a doggy treat, you don't bribe him to try and act better, you smack him with a newspaper, hard enough to really sting.
Yes, children are not dogs. But they're still animals in a sense, in that they haven't yet developed the higher order thinking necessary for self-regulation based on things beyond their basest instincts.
You don't have to BEAT UP your children, but you can punish them. I was never hit as a child, but damn did it hurt when they grounded me.
Thanks for this topic, Mog! Nice healthy venting.

Agreed, except on one part.
Grounding didn't bother me. I always had something to do, and if I was grounded from everything that I enjoyed... I'd just pick up a pen and paper and write whatever I was feeling. Any and everything. I didn't have friends for my dad to keep away from me, so having to stay my room was only a privacy extra.

One big pet peeve is when you're trying to talk REASON into people and they just won't listen. You know they're doing things that are making them (and by proxy, yourself) look bad, you want to help them, and they just don't want to take advice, constructive or otherwise.

You fucking barbarian. Have you ever had a pet? Have you ever raised a pet that was not finicky and scared?
This is not how you raise a pet. It is worse than hitting a child. An animal is less rational than a child and is even less likely to associate misbehavior with discipline. Also an animal is even more vulnerable and defenseless than a child is. If you hit a child, he will think that violence is the solution to problems. If you hit an animal, the only thing it will learn is that it is afraid of you.
Incidentally, people who think any amount of violence is the solution to any problem are a pet peeve, hang up, or other thing that gets on my nerves! The exception, of course, is when violence is the problem.

Um no.
A baby/toddler human has less defenses than almost every animal on the planet.
That obviously doesn't excuse mistreating an animal, however.
And one BIG pet peeve of mine is PeTA Nuts. Because they don't act on rational information, they're extremists, alarmists, they preach a very moronic doctrine of
TOTAL animal liberation, they're very high and mighty and they are for the most part,
Poorly Educated Teen Activists.

Are you serious because it's pretty obvious that isn't what I meant. Even people who advocate spanking children don't think you should spank a toddler!

Ok, assuming you mean 5-10 year olds then.
Little kids don't have the fangs and sheer instinct most dogs DO have. Just saying that animals are all defenseless isn't completely accurate.
But as I stated earlier, nothing excuses hitting an animal. (Unless of course said animal has your kid in its' jaws. Then I say the kid's protection comes before the beast's well being)
