    1. No one is forcing you to spend the money or watch. Certainly not the organization of your choice.

    2. I guaran-damn-tee you that when they **** up, you're not yelling, "WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING!?!"

    3. This isn't a thread to refute other people's pet peeves, which means.....

    4. You still can't ignore me like you said you were going to.

    5. I don't know what the hell your last sentence means.

        I definitely don't object to anything of that nature, but I'm sure the time you take to get someone to do that is so invaluable to just Googling something like that. Of course, it's the feeling of having someone actually do it for you I suppose that people are satisfied about.

        I believe I mentioned it on OS before, but I made some very good friends on Chat Roulette, one person who doesn't live far away from me that we considered actually being pretty close to each other. Thankfully there are normal people on there, but it certainly is a pet-peeving kind of site when they next you without probable cause.


        I just remembered another pet peeve... people who stick to your words and backfire them unto you, especially in sports games when someone scores or something and they just get up in your face going, "See? See? Your team sucks man, they can't even score!" I mean obviously I see it, there's no reason to keep tantalizing me about it. It's even worse when you're outnumbered.

              Yea, I probably use we in that situation more than saying in positive ways. I've probably said "what are we doing" in most games that I've watched in my life.

                I don't know if any of these have been posted already but.....

                - When someone ask me to give my "honest" opinion on something and they get mad when it is not what they want to hear.

                - When my friends out stay their welcome. If I say I am sleepy or have work to get done, that's the clue to leave. I hate to kick people out but do it as a last resort.

                - People who tell me I need to upgrade my phone. I have had my G1 for a year, and while I'm aware that there are new phones available, it does not mean I'm obligated to buy one.

                - When people act like their life is over because their favorite player on NCAA or Madden has a 95 speed instead of a 96.

                Just a few off the top of my head.

                  Well, let's face it.... it's why it's called a "pet peeve" and not a BFD peeve!

                    #1? Sketchiness. I hate people who are sketchy. People in general are so damn sketchy these days. Females are the worst about this. If you get a text message that you're going to reply to, then reply when you get it. The longer you take to reply, the more likely it is I'll forget why I sent the message to begin with. Also, don't blindside me with plans. Don't assume because of where I live, that my place is open for visitors during the Alabama/UT weekend.

                      my biggest pet peeve, hands down are bikers who think they have the right of way on the street. Not motorcycle bikers, im talking about the spandex wearing bike helmet, acting like lance Armstrong tools that drive me up a wall. Its like, just passing them drives these people nuts like you are doing something to them. I have literally waited for a wider part of the street so that I dont go near the biker only to have them say something derogatory towards me. They think they are special, and sometimes they roll out like 20 deep in my neighborhood, they dont stop at stop signs and its not even a race. They act like they have the right of way or something and they dont.

                          My drive to and from work i drive through a pretty wealthy neighborhood. I see this ALL the time. What confuses me is that there is a sidewalk right next to where they are riding.....hello?

                            Today on my way to work this guy was walking in the street. He wasn't even crossing, just walking when there is a damn sidewalk right next to him. I had to change lanes so I wouldn't hit him.

I would also say if there are clear weather conditions and you don't feel safe driving the speed limit then perhaps you shouldn't be driving at all.
                                Fair enough, but then what is the point of having a posted speed limit? Again, "limit" implies that the posted number is the fastest that you can go, not that you must drive at that speed, especially if you're in the slow lane.
