    Call of Duty: Black Ops. :explode:

    The sound effects just set me on edge. No other game has ever had that effect on me, but I seriously felt like I was having a panic attack, and I haven't had a panic attack in months. Over a game. As soon as it was off, I felt fine.

    Thankfully, my husband only borrowed it, and doesn't own it. And he's not typically into first person shooter games, so he likely won't want to buy it.

    Cheap paper napkins like the kind you get at a fast food places are like fingernails on a chalkboard when people wipe their mouth with them. *shiver*

    When I can't find something I lost, then I forget what it was I was looking for, then forget why I needed it, then the next morning find the toilet doesn't work, then remember I was supposed to fix it, then can't find the wrench, then forget what it was I was looking for, then forget why I needed it.....

    LOL! Too funny!:laugh:

    People who don't want to work for what they want. Seriously when did it become ok to be a bum and live off someone else. I know times are hard, but umm hello minimum wage is better than the zero per hour you are sitting home and making. Or people who collect unemployement and refuse to look for a job, if you choose to go back to school and learn a trade or further your education thats great (way to go!!!) but sitting at home eating food (paid for by EBT of course) in front of the cable tv that you still have and playing on your cell phone.... not cool. Ok i'm done with my little rant sorry all!

    Oh man, the list is pretty extensive but here goes: 1) people that don't flush in a public restroom. 2) people that don't use their eyes to read labels, they just start pulling boxes of shoes off the racks, and tearing through them while complaining "I can't find my size, I can't find my size." GRRR. (I work in shoes lol) which brings me to pet peeve number 3) people that snap their fingers and say "Hey!" when they decide they need assistance. I had a lady snap her fingers at me the other day, I'm not kidding, I wanted to reach over and break them lol. 4) people that let their kids run around screaming like monkeys in a zoo 5) people that point to their kid and ask me what size pant the kid wears. First of all, I work in shoes, not children's. Secondly, I'm a cashier, not a human measuring tape. You're the one who dressed him, why don't you tell me. 6) people who, because I work in shoes, feel that I must be a certified podiatrist and I can cure and/or diagnose their foot ailments. I'm sorry, but for just over minimum wage I'm not looking at, much less touching, your nasty corns. And finally number 7) people in the restroom that watch me walk in to a stall, and then begin asking if a certain top that they saw waaaay on the other side of the store is on sale, and if I could tell them how much it would be if they use their 30% off coupon. Really? I'm trying to pee and you want to know what you're discount will be??? :mad: lol I hate the public.......
  • My husband is a HORRIBLE chewer, I finally got him to chew with his mouth closed but it doesnt sound any different! (IT DRIVES ME NUTS) :( 1) I can't stand high water pants, 2) big ol scrunchies, 3) feet, OH I hate feet! And the worst is when people find out they think its funny to put their feet by me, on me or even try to touch my feet, RUDE! 4) People that think they know everything,5) people that think you want their advice 6)when people bring babys to the movies, I am sorry but I didnt pay $10 per person to hear your kid scream through the entire movie!
    7) when you dont put on your normal amount of makeup and everyone asks you "are you ok" "are you sick" "you look tired" or "whats wrong"? People need to think before they think! 8) how my 3 skinny lil sisters eat WHATEVER they want and are tall & skinny while I watch what I eat, work out and I am the short chubby one of the 4! (starting to think I was adopted lol jk) 9) double dippin SICK! :(

    Mine is weird. I have an awful urge to correct people who use words incorrectly. Right now, I'm biting my tongue to tell my kid that you don't "unthaw" frozen items. :laugh:

    How about when people say "it's a mute point"? LOL

    Oh, my father-in-law's jaw clicks every time he chews... when its quiet, it seriously sounds like the morse code and I wanna slit my wrists!!! Then my sister-in-law does this bizarre soft moaning sound when she chews (don't ask me... for the longest time I didn't even know where the noise was coming from) so between my FIL and SIL its like a symphony of strange/annoying sounds.... its a wonder I don't lose my appetite!!
    People who don't want to work for what they want.

    Good one! I knew a guy like this!! He wanted everything but did nothing to get there. Then when I'd say "get a job" or "go to school (college), he'd say "why, so I can conform like the rest of society"... um...... LOSER!!

    People who take pictures of themselves. Find a friend.
  • My biggest pet peeve is:
    -trying to talk to me or ask me something when I am obviously asleep and then saying "I told you that this morning!"

    My mom does this almost everyday and it is sooooo annoying!!

    When people use "loose" when they really mean "lose" -- Can you tell this seriously bothers me by my signature? :)

    I'm on the worst website for this.. Haha.

    *One of my biggest pet peeves is the way other people react to their pet peeves (sorry, my life does NOT revolve around pleasing you princess)
    * People who think that speeding/wreckless driving really is the RIGHT way to drive
    *People behind me who honk at me to go when traffic isn't even clear yet (because causing a huge collision won't make you late, right?)
    *Misconceptions about overweight people (especially children)
    *Parents who say they want to end bullying but then teach their own children to be intolerant
    *Unsolicited advice
    *People who think THEIR way is the ONLY way
    *Art-snobs, nerd-snobs, hipster-snobs, pretty much all snobs
    *People who think they are so intellectually superior that others don't know when they are being insulted
    *People who change their religion/political views/diet/sexual orientation/any given thing on a weekly basis then act like we are stupid for not following along.
    *Women on mommy message boards who are bat-**** crazy and will cyber-fight to the death over the most insignificant issues. The ones where anyone who doesn't do things exactly like they do is a bad mom or doesn't really love their kids or yada yada yada

    Anyone have a pet peeve that almost seems to control you?

    I try so hard not to be anal about it, but I absolutely cannot stand mouth noises. When I am around people and they are eating, I cringe if they make noises. If I am at home and my boyfriend is eating, I go to youtube and put in my earphones until he is done eating.

    Really don't wanna be like that, but I don't know what to do about it? What is yours???

    I hate chewing noises too. I can't stand looking over at somebody and seeing them smacking and chewing with their mouths open. UGH!

    My 49 year old brother still uses "unthaw" and "irregardless". Annoys the hell out of me.

    confession: I didn't know "unthaw" wasn't a real word.

    Glad that education is paying off.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I have way too many to list, so I will just list some regarding the gym.

    Not signing up for equipment or staying on past your time. Not a big deal at the end of the night when there are plenty of machines to go around, but when it is busy.... respect the rules!

    Not racking the plates. When you are done flexing, please put the plates back.

    Leaving a dirty towel in the shower. No one wants to touch the towel you dried your @ss with. Toss it in the towel drop.

    Locker room sausage fest chats. Want to talk to me about the sports or the whether? PUT SOME DAMN PANTS ON!!!

    I cannot stand to hear breathing or have my husband touching me when I'm asleep....There is a dmz (demilitarized zone)in the middle of the bed, violate it at your own risk...

    sorry to all you that can't stand noisy eaters, but.....I can't stand it when I'm just trying to eat my meal in peace and someone badgers me about making noise....I chew with my mouth closed, but sometimes I'm gonna make noise. I also have bad allergies and occasionally will need to breather while I have food in my mouth. (Can you tell eating noises is my sisters pet peeve, I wanted to smack her growing up....every meal I got called a piggy, sheesh)

    That is mine too! I "seen" is one of the worst!
  • When someone decides it's their job to make sure everyone knows and follows the rules. There is always one person in a group
    that decides they need to keep everyone else in line.
    When people leave notes for you, instead of talking in person when they have something negative to say. Or, notes in general,
    I don't like getting notes. I hate seeing a note left for me.
    NO NOTES!!! unless from children, I love cute notes from children.
    I've never noticed noises when people eat, so I guess this doesn't bother me, but now I'll be conscious not to make slurping sounds!

    Lack of restroom etiquette!!!

    No, it is not ok to put a booger on the wall in front of the urinal! :sick:

    I work in what is supposed to be a professional environment, yet I see this disgusting deed several times a week. :mad:
