What is your pet peeve?

Ooh, here's another one.
People who pay extra special attention to me. Sure, I've got Aspergers. I'm not fucking retarded, lady.
All it means is that I can't really empathize with people, can't read facial expressions or verbal cues, and happen to be a genius in logic and maths-related fields.
And yes, it is 'maths'.
 
When people act like the American or British dialect is "correct" English.  :smile:

It is also annoys me when people don't indent their code. Argh, it's not that hard to take the time to press the tab button!
 
IT'S MATH NO S GET OUTTA HERE YOU BRIT

hehehe

No but srsly.

Also, I hate people who talk shit about gays. Not that they're necessarily openly bigoted against them, everyone hates bigots (except other bigots), but people who just sorta act like gays are lower on the food chain if you know what I mean.

Gays, ILU. Please admit me into your team.
 
I have found the perfect image for this thread.
It adresses both immigrants and gays.

And yeah, that really annoys me as well, Ven.
And, so that I'm not off-topic, here's another pet peeve of mine.
People who invade other's personal space without even asking or caring.
I have a personal bubble, people, and I'd prefer that you not pop it.
And I'm not the only one. Have some courtesy.

I know sexists who hate racists.  I know anti-Christians who hate antisemitics.  I know guys who will sit there and hate on something - and hate you for hating it to.
That's a pet peeve.

so hating someone for hating someone is more a valid reason to hate someone than to hate someone for their lifestyle?

they kinda seem on the same level to me. both are rather unimportant.

Well I'm English, I speak it, So I'm not quite sure what you mean?
 
I meant English as in the language. I was just referring to the "math"/"maths" debate earlier, where "math" is generally said in North America and "maths" elsewhere. Like "center"/"centre" and "aluminum"/"aluminium." They are both valid and it annoys me when people argue about which is right. Just my pet peeve. Rather appropriate it came up in this thread!  :smile:
 
1. Finding a job in Southern California with all of the odd changes in the labor laws

2. When people try to get you to hold random small animals or reptiles they found (Due to my first reaction being to kill it. Don't know why, but if I look away or day dream for a second, I've already snapped a lizard's neck without thinking about it)

3. When women who I'm not trying to hit on flip out when I say "Hi" and they aren't on their time of the month. It's just annoying and makes me say, "don't flatter yourself," which just gets me in trouble 40% of the time.

4. Of course, drama prone women who would never give me a chance because they would rather hang out with the asshole that has no future, the guy strung out on drugs who wants to die, or the kid with the extremely tight pants and stabs himself with random objects.

Okay, I guess you can do the art for my yaoi dating-sim 'Eteranal'.
 
@$t3v0: I have to agree. They also have the uncanny ability to drive entire lumps of communities to shit. Since you're from what, Liverpool(?), you should see it too. The government bungs the useless ones who sponge off society and exist in the country simply for an easy ride in northern cities, I notice. But what I'm getting at is that once a few immigrants are in close proximity, they multiply like rabbits, forming a subcommunity of NO WHITES ALLOWED, which is generally inconvenient when people need to go through, and causes nothing but trouble and unrest.

I have no problem with useful immigrants, mind.

@Despain, Venetia: I hate it too. So many friends of mine quickly became former-friends when they decided that long har on a fag was a good enough invite to invade my personal space. The only person out of my irl friends that I would even allow to touch my hair (outside of dixxuck) is Wumpi, who understands how important it is to me, and as such doesn't do it. When men (and sometimes women) mistake me as a girl from behind (common), they often stroke my hair. Not only do they feel my backhand, I'm sure they feel incredibly stupid for mistaking a fat fag with a beard and an air of general unkemptness as a woman. Unless they like scruffy, hairy women that is.

So there's "American English" and "English English", and neither is correct... Nah, just joking.

I was under the impression that the 'American English' was just 'English English' with a few simplifications that make it easier to understand how to spell. I personally have no problem with either.

As for a pet peeve I'm gonna have to go with people filing their nails near me; makes me cringe horribly.

Where is this land-of-the-random-hairstrokers you guys live in, so that I can avoid ever visiting it?  I would seriously be creeped and/or grossed out if someone walked up and touched my hair out of the blue.

Also, and thanks to Despain for reminding me of this one, I HATE the word "scrub" used as an insult.  It is fucking retarded in so many ways.  DON'T let HORRIBLE hip-hop artists invent your language, for fucks' sakes.  Scrub?  Scrub?  You know how retarded that sounds?  I had this neighbor that would blare that stupid song so loud I could hear it with my windows closed every fucking morning for a year before he went to work, it was like his wake up routine.  Grrr, I could have killed that bastard, and I laughed with joy when I heard that one of the members of that group died.
 
my bigest pet peeve, Furnature that is not lined up properly, if i walk in a room and a table is askew i absolutly have to straiten it out,

aside from that i cant stand when people make themselves appear unintelligent through dress and behavior, for example any one who dresses in gang style clothing or tries to talk like a rapper, or people who are just completely ditsy, i mean if you have less common sence then a dirt clot then do your self a favor and keep your mouth shut, i mean whats the point of advertising ones stupidity?
 
idk, i have only ever heard scrub used to refer to some one in the 7th grade, and toilet washers was for 8th graders, like they couldnt get real class titles like freshmen sofmore junior or senior so they had to make up their own immature ones, but that goes back to my thing, like a while back all the loosers who wanted to be mexican gang bangers went around calling everything scadelous, with out even knowing what the word meant, and yet they said it literally every third word,

so like i said if your smart enough to realise how stupid you are keep your mouth shut, otherwise just wonder why im still laughing at you

Scrub?!
Jesus you live in a time vortex where it's still 1995 don't you :x

No, people use the term constantly in online games, fucking constantly. You can't play a game of Counterstrike or run a raid in WoW without hearing it.  Pisses me off to no end.  Also, wake-up routine guy was like 4 years ago, so still in this decade.
