Pet Peeves - The Revival Addition!

Sirensa · Post by **Sirensa** » April 14, 2005, 5:57 pm

Yeah, yeah, I know, oldie... but a GOOODIE!!!

Here is the stupid shit annoying the hell out of me today:

1) Bitch who coughs like she is trying to expunge her who happens to have her reserved library carrel right next to mine. Same bitch sitting next to me in class, when we have no assigned seats. Feeling a nasty cough coming on and wondering if it is cause BITCH WON'T GO THE FUCK AWAY.

2) Same bitch - Wears headphones in library, which is fine. Doesn't remove headphones to talk to someone. Bitch talks loud in library and has a super gratingly annoying voice. Bitch still does it even though she's been asked by NUMEROUS people to please keep her voice down. Bitch wears ugly clogs. Has them in every color to match every outfit. People like bitch, I don't understand it.

3) Professors who assign HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF READING due one week before finals... wtf?

4) Snoring by bed-partner (speaks for itself)

5) Having to drink Diet Dr. Pepper cause there is no Diet Coke here and the Diet Mtn. Dew was all out

- and the machine already took money off my card! (gross Dr. P!)

6) Knowing after a long and mentally exhausting day, I will still have to go home and cook dinner ALL BY MYSELF, which I usually don't mind, but not when I'm tired.

=D

If you are nausious, you make others sick. If you are feel nausiated, you feel sick.

Employees who say HUH after you had just explained for 15 minutes what their job duties for the night to accomplish are.

College kids who try to tell you that you do have something and your showing them the empty spot that you really dont have it.*cigars*

That drives me fucking bonkers. When it happens and they don't get off right away, I always flush so the person he's talking to knows he's in the can.

The one thing that comes to mind are people who HAVE to back into their parking spot. Takes them a damn whole minute, traffic backs up all over the place, to what, save .5 seconds when they leave? Not to mention if someone clips the car, damage is done to the more expensive front.
I also hate having some SUV park next to me. It's like I have to use the fucking force just to back out.

Hmm I actually spealled it the way you have it first and spell checker corrected me. . .oh well.

What your definition says is that because people have used it so much as definition 1, that it should mean definition 1. . .I think that is ridiculous. How things are used should not define what they mean in a formal sense.

The people who can't park is a big one for me, freakin' can stand that crap.

The other is all those people, usually young black males here in AR - probably different in other states, who somehow have a handcapped sticker but really aren't handicapped. I don't understand this one and the police. When the first 20 spots at Wal-Mart are all handicapped and some old guy who is like 80 can't find one because they are ALL filled with hoopdies blaring profane rap music there is a problem. Don't get me wrong, I feel the EXACT same way about anyone else who gets these and shouldn't have them, color/race has nothing to do with it except that it's usually young black guys who seem to have them for some reason... not sure why, that's a big mystery for me.

Also, people who continaully clear their throat when trying to rudely interrupt you... STFU until I'm finished.

SLOW people... it dosent take 30+ second to turn right off a 30mph road and along those lines people who drive 5+ mph below the speed limit in the left lane. It's illegal to pass on the right in AR, get the frack in the other lane if you want to go slow.

that is why the language in afghanistan is so broken. after 30 yrs of war and being in abject poverty without any sort of education system, there are litereally two languages now, a written and a spoken language.

Any sort or piercings.. it freaks me out, and I instantly think how incredibly painful it would be to 1) get it ripped out, with the broken skin (just thinking of it right now irritates me) 2) see it ripped out.. that type of skin stretching (or not stretching) disgusts me.

Agreed. Language is a standard of communication. When the standard is blurred or confused, it diminishes its usefulness and power.

Just because people do something does not make that thing correct or logical.

let's not descend down the false path that language is immutable

Here bygynneth the Book of the Tales of Caunterbury

Whan that Aprill, with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote
And bathed every veyne in swich licour,
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Whan Zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halfe cours yronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open eye-
(So priketh hem Nature in hir corages);
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages
And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes
To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;
And specially from every shires ende
Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende,
The hooly blisful martir for to seke
That hem hath holpen, whan that they were seeke.

I have no problem with language evolving, but this is not an instance of language evolving to fill a void or increase range, this is simply a case of language changing due to incorrect usage.

I don't remember how many dialects there are in the Phillipines, but it's not too uncommon to have people 20 miles apart speaking dialects that are incomprehensible to each other.

Classical written Chinese isn't pronouncible in todays spoken dialects, and is still used.

I would like to invalidate your pet peeve. People post stupid messages all the time all over every board. Just don't read the ones that you don't like! That, or modify your peeve to be "people who make posts i don't want to read". There's no need to be an anti-chatite.
