Pet Peeves

Post Reply New Topic

Playing a video-game & putting a lot of time & effort into accomplishing or acquiring something & then when I finally get it, I die before I can save & I die because my character did not correctly respond to the controls or there is some random event in the game that I could not of seen coming or prevented

Whenever brussel sprouts are brought up in a conversation there always has to be a fart joke.

People who are desperately trying to find a loophole in the rules against using a racial slur:

"Can a white person say the N word but be considered a racist?"
"Is it okay for people with albinism to use the N word?"
"How can I say the N word without sounding racist?"

Why would a person want to use the N word other than because they're racist? It makes no sense to me at all.

very sensitive car horns..
when im putting my makeup on or sorting myself out in my car and my arm just gently touches the car horn and it blasts out and makes me jump every time

car horns should be situated somewhere thats not so easy to accidentaly touch

I hate it when I sneeze. When somebody tells me "Bless You" after I sneeze, my my response sounds like Sideshow Bob stepping on a rake because of the way I feel rite after sneezing. At least the feeling usually goes away within a couple minutes

This is going to make me sound pretentious, but, when I want to order something and I know the correct pronunciation but the waiter does not.

So I'm met with a confused look. I think, alright, how would this word be pronounced here? What can I do to intentionally mess this up? I try that. More confusion. Hmm. Anglicise it even more? OK. Feels incredibly wrong but maybe I'll be understood. Nope. Hmmm. How can I butcher this more than I already have?

'Oh you mean - (the worst pronunciation that I never would have guessed) well why didn't you say so?'

Well, you just made three different sounds that don't even exist in that language, so no, but for the purposes of this conversation - that is absolutely what I meant, thank you.

Double standards are one of my biggest pet peeves and RSD triggers.

Players in World of Tanks blaming everything (i.e., bots, lag, match-maker software, pay-for-play players, et cetera) except their own lack of equipment, experience, and skills.

People who make sexual innuendos or use sexual humor. I find it EXTREMELY offensive.

When I go out for lunch and I ask if anyone wants anything and they say no. I come back with lunch for myself and someone goes "Why didn't you get me anything?!" and I say "You said you didn't want anything!"

It plucks me on how mice are portrayed as these adorable creatures by the media (there are plenty of cartoons that portray mice as likable creatures). I have to set numerous traps in the Fall as when its starting to get cold outside mice want to come inside.
