Yes!!! Gosh, people were raised with the language but there's always got to be idiots that can't seem to use it properly.
 
People who don't know what Half Life 2 is.
"Hey, have you heard oh Half-Life 2?"
"No."
"Halo 3?"
"OMFG I LUV TAH TOGMAOHMAOERPHMNEDOAHNERAOHM"

1) Writers block. I hate that. I also hate that thing when you forget a word that you should know, and it's on the tip of your tongue but you just can't think of it. It's happened to me twice today.

2) People with huge **** off dogs like pit bulls. Why? They're bred for weapons where I live, and they're vicious. If I see somebody with a staffy with a spiky collar I will go out of my way to cross the street in case it attacks me (unlikely I know, but I can't help being a bit worried about it!)

(This just happened to me today and I can't not mention it because it annoyed me so much) I was waiting to get on a tube at Tottenham Court Road today, and it was PACKED. So I was behind a bunch of people all waiting to get on the same train, and the woman behind me started to push by me and was shouting "PLEASE COULD YOU MOVE, I'M TRYING TO GET ONTO THE TRAIN". We all were. I wanted her to fall over and bump her head.
 
When you suddenly stop trusting your own memory while spelling a word you use regularly. Example? Avoid. I spent half a minute the other day convincing myself that it wasn't spelt A-V-O-I-D.

Sentence. That always gets me. Sentance....sentence....sent...an..en.....ce.
 
I hate people who don't hava a firm hand shake and don't look into your eyes when they shake hands with you.

People who don't have a minimal general culture.

People who don't have goals into their lives, I specially hate people whit out ambition.

I usually call it a mental blank, and you know what's ironic? I just had one trying to remember what I call it. :/

Well, here's one, people who cheat in online games. Even if it doesn't directly effect me, it really bugs me. Have these people have no integrity, no sense of decency? How is there any joy in winning if you have to use hacks to do it?
 
Yes, that's what I used to say to my parents when I was little. The one major difference is that it has the word Slang: before it. which means it isn't a real word. See what I did thar?
ISN'T. IS NOT. AIN'T = a is not? What?
As a substitute for am not, is not, and are not in declarative sentences, ain't is more common in uneducated speech than in educated, but it occurs with some frequency in the informal speech of the educated, especially in the southern and south-central states. This is especially true of the interrogative use of ain't I? as a substitute for the formal and—to some—stilted am I not? or for aren't I?, considered by some to be ungrammatical, or for the awkward—and rare in American speech—amn't I? Some speakers avoid any of the preceding forms by substituting Isn't that so (true, the case)? Ain't occurs in humorous or set phrases: Ain't it the truth! She ain't what she used to be. It ain't funny. The word is also used for emphasis: That just ain't so! It does not appear in formal writing except for deliberate effect in such phrases or to represent speech. As a substitute for have not or has not and—occasionally in Southern speech—do not, does not, and did not, it is nonstandard except in similar humorous uses: You ain't heard nothin' yet!

Generally, only dumb people.

But to be specific:
- Left Wingers
- The elderly.
- Religious people.
- Talent/Reality Television.
- Celebrities.
- People that are intentionally stupid in an attempt to look 'cool'. Since when was having the IQ of a baboon cool?
- The 'popular' kids.
- Loud people.
- People that think they are funny, but are not.
- People that like shit music, but think it is awesome.
- People I disagree with, considering they're always wrong.

That's all I can think of.

I spelled it "Sentance" my whole life, and it wasn't until I had been here a while and someone told me that I was spelling it wrong and it really annoyed him. I thought he was wrong so I went to the dictionary and found out it really was spelled Sentence. it took 15 times of fixing it after running a spell checker on various posts that I finally started spelling it right everytime.


Now spelling it with an "a" looks so wrong to me.

Oh, something similar happened to me before. lol. I think I may have said, "What the hell do you think I'm doing?"

I feel the same way. I can't say I hate dogs, but I have been bitten several times as a child, and I don't care for them. Especially huge fierce dogs that bark at me and try to get lose so they can scare the shit out of me and/or attack me.

I always hated going to a friends house and their dog just wants to kill me, but are barely controlling themselves.... and I hated when friends will try to get their dog to go insane by play hitting me or something.

**** you! Don't play on my fears bitch! Put your dog in a different room and lock the door.

Also hate when you go to someones house and their dog is jumping all over you going insane and the dog owner doesn't really do anything.

Yeah, I guess I do hate dogs.. well ones like that anyway. Plus they stink.
 
Oh I love dogs. Especially if they're mine. There's not an animal that I don't like, I never liked cats and then Stigmata showed me his. They are like..in love. So now I kind of like cats, I didn't know they could be so... loving.

I just hate other people's big scary drooling barking doggies.

:naughty:


I don't think I'll ever really forgive dogs, and I've created a simple list (in no particular order) to tell you why.


I don't like dogs that were breed for fighting or gaurding:

(disclaimer* it depends on the dogs - I just don't like dogs that intimidate or attack people in particular. Some dogs are sweet.)


For killing my pet rabbit as a child and leaving its body in my driveway in a pool of blood.

And for biting me repeatedly as I ran way.

And for chasing me around my bike in circles.

For jumping and/or trying to jump the fences just to try to attack me on sight.

And for the neighbor's dogs terrorizing me almost daily, making me fear for my life as I try to sneak up to my door after school every day without being attacked at ~9 years old.

And for biting me on the ass and chasing me up the swing-set and making me get rabies shots in my ass on Halloween instead of candy.

And for making me terrified to go outside and play on my own property.

I'm mad at them for causing me to hate them as an adult.

there is more.


And after all that, I still don't hate dogs. i just don't like them. I don't trust them. You can have a dog for years, and suddenly the dog decides to bite someone.

It hurts mentally as well as physically to be attacked for no reason by anything - person or animal.



I'm glad they have stiffened dog leash laws. It's too bad some people and especially children had to die first.

If your dog gets loose and intimidates or bites someone, the owner should get assault, or assault and battery charges IMHO.

I wouldn't want one as a pet either, they are so loud and obnoxious as well.

Although my friend had a dog that liked to hump my leg and bark in my face if I didn't let her, while my friends laughed. That makes it all worth it. :thumbs:
 
Dogs dont like it when you're afraid of them.

Yeah, but I wasn't afraid of them until they start running towards me full speed barking ferociously at me, trying to escape the chain fence ready to kill me for being in the yard next to them.

yea, ever since then, I was pretty much ****ed.


I don't show fear anymore, but I still have that random encounter where I'm walking to my car and there is a stray approaching me, or a dog inside another vehicle that startles me by barking. I just act like they aren't there and it works quite well.
 
I hate people who overuse the word "owned", spouting it constantly while gaming and even in everyday conversation. And especially if they use it to comment on real-life deaths or injuries, like car accident victims. That is just... repugnant. :angry:
 
People who get to the top of an escalator and stop...

Why was this thread resurrected? :/
 
People who resurrect threads without having the God damn common courteousy to rape the corpse before doing so.
 
It was only a gap of two months. :hmph:

Sorry, but I simply do not get this "quick funeral" attitude everyone around here seems to have in regards to threads. What is so absolutely abominable about posting something entirely on topic in a thread that's been inactive for only a month or two? (Which isn't that long on the forums I usually post on, I'm not used to a place with as much activity as here) What alternatives are there? Create a new thread or not post at all? Maybe I should edit my post on the last page?

So let me get this straight, if one wishes to post in a topic which has been inactive for a month or more, they can't post in it without being berated for resurrecting an old thread; but if they were to create a new thread on the same subject, they'd be berated for not searching to find the old thread - you know, the one they'd be berated for posting in? Am I the only one who can see how contradictory and absurd this is?

I'm not even saying a "pet peeve" is that important a message, it's not. It's trivial. But then how much discussion on any internet forum could be considered "important"?

Lighten the **** up. Jesus.

lol, completely incorrect. Who said that?
Click to expand...
It's a widely accepted rule (whether written or unwritten) that if a thread on the subject you wish to discuss already exists, (even if it is two months old) you should discuss it in that topic instead of creating a new one. This is the case because it makes perfect sense - it prevents the creation of several seperate topics on the exact same thing, each new one created as the previous one saw a lull in activity. It prevents clutter and confusion.

Are you seriously suggesting that, to avoid the apparently heinous crime of "resurrecting" a month-old thread, I should have created a new one on the exact same subject?

I agree with you. Over text or AIM, I'd rather hear "I have to go to dinner now. Talk to you later. Bye!" then, "lol, omg, i g2g cya rotfl"


Another thing that annoys me is when people get cheese on their fingers after they eat Doritos :|

Do I need to say it twice? FFS, yes. It would make no sense for us to have that kind of catch 22 here.

The ONLY time we'd ever blame you for making a thread is if a similar thread was already made recently, or it was some kind of news type post that was already brought to everyones attention. Unless you'd like to discuss it further.
 
People who launch into a rant and then tell people to lighten up.
 
The words "anyways" and "laters" as well as the word "peoples" when used in the wrong context.

People misspelling "till" as "'til" and "'cause" as "cuz/cus/cos/coz".
 
One of my Pet Peeves is when Vegeta decides to correct what I say. It's damned annoying... and I let him know it.
 
People who bump old threads.

People who make repeat posts.

Apparently, Vegeta is the only one who even attempted to reply to my argument, instead of jumping on the "add post author to list of pet peeves" bandwagon.

What strikes me is, what is and is not acceptable on this forum appears to be governed more by the whim of it's influential members rather than any actual rules. On this forum, by general consent, posting in an "old" topic is forbidden, but cluttering up the forum by creating another topic on the exact same thing is perfectly acceptable. Am I the only one who sees how absurd this is?

Since I've gone off-topic for far too long already, here's a new pet peeve: Forums where half of the 'rules' are unwritten - except in the minds of the "old hands" who ostracize any newcomer who breaks them.

Nothing is stopping you from making a new thread.

Here's the rule, okay?
If it's not on the first page, make a new thread. If it is, post in the existing one.

I've been on this forum for a while and generally don't like it when what I've come to learn as acceptable is crossed, like you say. But a lot of things are sort of just common sense, and there's no harm done if you didn't know that bumping threads wasn't accepted here; so stop trying to defend yourself. People will get annoyed about it but that doesn't make it your fault, it can't be helped. Just move on. I'm glad I could help you though.
