Public Pet Peeves

  1. People who think that even touching weights will make them massive.
  2. The idiots that re-elected our fine president and his staff of winners then publicly praise him.
  3. People who bitch about gas prices like bitching about gas prices will bring a change.
  4. Ugly people making out in public. Goes double for gays.

People who go on and on about things that piss them off yet never voice their frustrations other than on an internet forum.

Chav’s and scallies hanging around in large gangs giving abuse to everyone that dares walk past.

Deshevled Folks asking for 40p for the bus who blantantly have a drug problem.

I hate people who are rude to waiters and waitresses. There job is hard enough without someone being a little faucktard to them, yelling at them for nothing, and then leaving them a buck for a tip. Pricks.

Yes! I can’t walk out my apartment door and to the corner without at least two panhandlers approaching me.

I do, believe me. I am far too socially retarded not to.

Fucking pointless Myspace bulletins. STOP IT!

and people who try to talk to me when I’m not in the mood. Fuckers.

Any fool driving in the fast line and not keeping up with traffic. Jesus.

And…people using the squat rack for curls with only the bar!! Hell, it doesn’t even matter how much weight it is. If you can’t deadlift the bar you’re curling off the ground, you need to put down the fucking curl bar and start working on deadlifts. Period.

  1. People who have a cart full of groceries using the self checkout at the supermarket.

  2. Bimbos who say “like” in every sentence.

  3. Lousy tippers.

  4. Fat people.

Casually and deliberately dropping a candy wrapper out the car window onto the street, and then driving off.

  1. Having to listen to anyone eat corn-on-the-cob.

  2. Having to listen to fat fucks shove handful after handful of popcorn into their mouths and chew it like goats before the movie starts, and there is no sound to drown out the noise.

  3. “Support Our Troops” yellow ribbon magnet bumper stickers on Hummers or similar, gas-guzzling behemoths.

  4. The fact that Worker’s Comp posters are in English AND Spanish. If you can’t read it in English, you should not be working in the U.S. in the first fucking place! (This REALLY pisses off my wife, whose third language is English)

  5. “In God We Trust” plastered all over U.S. currency. Fuck you, I’m not superstitious! Keep that shit in your fucking church!

Only 3 to list for the time being. First, let me say that I’m an American teaching English in Korean elementary schools. I’ve also found ways to deal with these problems 90% of the time.

  1. Going to take a piss and one kid spotting me then calling all his friends who come running to watch the foreigner pee and occasionally try to tackle or throw things at me.

  2. Going to take a shit and one kid seeing me go to the stall. Within a minute there are 20 kids outside the stall trying to speak English with me and banging on the door while I’m ripping ass… cultural difference could explain this behavior perhaps… but I think all of them being retarded is a more reasonable explanation.

  3. People complaining publicly about how hard their jobs are because they’re inefficient, inept, and unwilling to try and do better.

LOL! Holy shit, your #2 (literally and figuratively, ha-ha) had me laughing for five minutes! My peeves pale in comparison. I bow to you.

Can someone please explain what a chav and a scallie is for those of us folks who live on the other side of the planet and have no idea what you are talking about. Thanks.

But whatever they are, I dont like them either??

Almost anything having to do with a cell phone.

People who are completely oblivious to the rest of the world and move at a glacial pace while in my way.

Dog owners who let their animals run all over the place. I have waterfowl for pets so they usually wind up at my house going after my birds. This is when I have to walk down the road and have a “polite” discussion with the individual regarding their dog. Don’t get me wrong, I love dogs, it’s their owners I have issues with.

WTF!!! that is crazy. It is a shame you can’t just turn around and pee all over them. Tell them it is what people do, back home. Of course if you are a teacher you can’t do that. But man that is crazy. How old are these kids? Are they kids?

My only peeve is people walk into me. As if I was invisible. I jump out of the way but what the heck, why do they do it? So sometimes I just bump into people, but nobody seems to care. I am not keen on bumping into everyone all over the place. It’s just bloody weird.

How about people who see you coming down the lane, and then pull out right in front of you and putter up to 10 below the speed limit?

Or, that idiot who just HAS to pass you to cut in front of you and take the same exit off the highway. THose idiots are lucky my car isn’t equipped with a Vulcan.

I can also add to that when I’m driving on the interstate, have my cruise control set, someone passes me in the fast lane yet moments later I’m passing the same asshole. This nonsense will go on until the said asshole learns how to control his/her speed or exit the highway.

  1. People who don’t pay attention when the red light turns green and then get angry when you toot your horn to wake’em up.

  2. People who throw stuff out their car window. Cigarette butts, Kleenexes, wrappers. The world isn’t your personal trash can, asshole.

  3. People who send in résumés with grammar and/or (usually “and”) spelling mistakes in them. If you can’t be bothered using a spell checker, I won’t bother with reading it.

  4. People who forward those stupid chain emails. ie, “Send this to 10 people you know, and you’ll have great luck…” News flash: Send this to 10 people you know and you’ll inform them of what a moron you are.

  5. People who brag about how they make money illegally. Yeah, it’s a really great business if you can only turn a profit by dodging your taxes. Fuckwit parasite.

I didn’t mention this in my initial list because it didn’t make it into the top five, but yes, I’ve experienced this too. What’s wrong with those people who look one way and walk the other, make sudden changes in direction without an apparent motivation or simply seem to be so absent minded that they have no control over where they are going?
