Title: Pet Peeves
Post by: Dare on May 02, 2010, 02:03:56 AM
Anyone have any pet peeves that really get
under your skin.Ol Dare cares about what
you think and would like to let you release
a little steam

One of mine is when you see a new story that interests you
so you click on it and it's a video you have to wait to load.
Don't they think people can read a story all by their selves?

That drives me nuts too.  I'd much rather read about it than have some talking head tell me about it.

No Flash on any i-products drives me nuts too.  Why can't Apple and Adobe get their heads together and sort it out???  There is too much Flash on the internet for me to be completely happy with my iTouch.

A bit off topic, but slow drivers in the left lane. And people who sit at a green light waiting turn left without moving until the arrow comes on, no matter how clear it is.

Mmmmm, my kind of topic! Lets see, time to vent!

- Barking dogs, or rather the owners of barking dogs. BRING THE MUTT IN WHEN/IF IT'S BARKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:(

- People with expensive vehicles that take two parking spaces.

- Cashiers that actually need the cash register to tell them how much change to give me. How you got the job in the first place is beyond me.

- F1 races that start at 4AM!  :P

- PC vs. Mac or Mac vs. PC type people...get over it and just shut up already.

- The fact that I'll probably never get to fulfil my lifelong dream of having 0-g sex..heck I'd even settle for by myself.  :DD
ps - the "Vomit Comet" just wouldn't cut the mustard!

- Oh yeah...fake boobs. Can I say "boobs" here?

Similar to Dare's last one:

Drivers who pull out in front of you, cut you off, and then slow to a crawl!  >:D

Yeah especially when you leave em space to get on the motorway (expressways I think you call it over the pond) or dual carraigeway. But it gets worse, a minute later they take off at over the speed limit, what's that all about! >:(

Wot even the 5 to 11 year olds?  :o   It'll make just another excuse for them to lower the speed limits even more. :swoon:

Not 5 year olds John, but when I was 10 I got a clip round the ear from a copper for riding on the path.  :o

Yeah but in 1958 we could all play football or tennis in any residential street for hours on end cos the traffic was virtually non existent. The pavements were busier than the roads  ;)

tv adverts in general but especially those where the voice over is shouting

drivers who never look in their rear mirrors

black cars, especially those that have black interiors as well

President Barak Hussein Obama - a master of hypocrisy

the shite they call 'petrol' in NZ and Australia

the politicians who push the ETS [Emission Trading Scheme] as a viable way of dealing with global warning. It isn't but it will reap them trillions and bankrupt you.

Al Gore for being the 'carpet- bag' salesman to convince you are the reason for global warming so you will accept being mercilessly taxed for your sins. The science he pushes is very dubious and he knows it; his real agenda lies elsewhere.

I never knew that.  You actually call the sidewalks 'pavements'?   

In Canada pavement is just a paved area (flat, hard surface), usually made with asphalt or cement.  It's called pavement wether it's the street, a sidewalk or a school yard. 

I guess I learned another 'British-ism' today.   :good:

It's either pavement or path Scott.
Title: Re: Pet Peeves
Post by: Scott on May 03, 2010, 08:56:26 PM
A path for us is a little trail, more often of dirt or gravel than pavement.

And here in Australia we call it a 'footpath'.... strange aren't we?

With you there Sennaman. I have a black car with a black leather interior, bloody dust magnet. It's especially bad for me as I am a real bad clean freak, never will I have a black car again.  :crazy:

Post by: romephius on May 03, 2010, 09:55:40 PM
In Australia, everything is a snake hideout....

Actually there's a pet peeve, people who try to runover snakes with a lawnmower, are bitten and then complain about it.

- People with expensive vehicles that take two parking spaces.


Actually... when you buy an expensive car that's part of the 'training'.  Since expensive cars tend to be larger, and modern parking spots are tiny you're far less likely to get dinged by a careless 4 year old opening a door. 

However, you're also supposed to do it at the back of the lot, not in the 'good spaces'.

Surely a $100,000 car with dings up and down the sides is a far worse crime against humanity!


- Oh yeah...fake boobs. Can I say "boobs" here?


I don't know why people would want big boobs, they just get in the way of everything.
