Pet peeves

July 24 2014

We all have something that really gets under our skin. Some petty little peeve that is totally irrational and irrelevant, but dammit, it still manages to annoy us! We KNOW it's crazy to let something so small get to us, but it still does! Let this be the place to share your pet hates without fear of ridicule or judgement. And then we can all take a deep breath and get on with our day! For me, I'm a bit of a spelling nazi and my biggest peeve is the word "Too". You know, as in "as well as". SO many times lately I have seen it written as "to" and every time, without fail, I have a little inner "grrr"!! So what is YOUR pet peeve? NB: This is just for some light hearted fun and not meant to offend in any way! SMILE!

    As someone as wrote... I couldn't agree more! Those people only here for sexual encounters, not making friends (how weird is that!) should meet regardless, even if you're really not their type. The last time I was told by a guy he just wasn't attracted to my pics and was looking for sex, not friendship I thought (right after "As if, pfft") " You selfish judgemental arsehole, thinking you're too good for me ". I have come across one or two on site here as portrayed above... words like Pot .... Kettle... come to mind. Certainly agree with sentiment in last sentence. Strange how some people don't see it from the other side of the fence at times. Tall

    Morons in cars who do things to try and make a point when my legal driving is inconveniencing them..... .... and they offer exaggerated head shaking.... tailgating, excessive horn blowing. Yessss yesss... I know.... you're a very important person in a hurry and all that. But the more you carry on.,... the more you're inviting me to piss you off on purpose, people!!!! I'll make the time.... just for you.

    Quoting 'Qefenta3' Tall,some people don't take rejection well,nor do they get sarcasm xQ Sarcasm is a talent. As is the understanding of it, which is not a talent of mine. Compare me to a character on TV and call me Sheldon, LOL. . The other side of the fence?... 'Iron'y.

    It's often because they have an expensive car, so their time is more valuable than yours. I was once reversing into a bldg site during the "school hr rush" a woman in an expensive car, blasted her horn and mouth the words "get out of the the way you fucken cunt" about as much class as a "rat with a gold tooth", especially with her small kid's listening. I stopped the truck, went to her window and said "Madam, do you really think I want to be here blocking the road, I'm just doin' my job" she just stared straight ahead. People waiting for a tram clapped & cheered me. Luckily only a small % of ppl are like this. As a Truckie, I give ppl help, let them out into traffic, even stop and help ppl in distress. I was once going down the freeway, an excavavator bucket fell off a truck, bouncing & dangling by a chain, I put on my hazards, rotating beacon, checked my right mirror, a car was rounding me up, I moved across, he remonstrated, but when he passed & realised I'd possibly saved his life, he dropped back and gave me the "thumbs up". I risked my job & insurance "cleanskin" record, but if that bucket had bounced & gone thru his windscreen, I'd have never forgiven myself. 10% of Truckie's are Cowboys, watch the "Mud carters & B doubles" the rest of us are just good, normal guys, who want ourselves & everybody else to get home safe that nite. Cheers P.L.

    Just having a rant. I don't understand why some people take these forums so seriously. I mean, some of the tiffs I read on here between people are just ridiculous. And then there are people who just jump on board threads just to make a negative remark, which inevitably turns the whole thread upside down with other people jumping on board. What's with that? It honestly saddens me. Geez people, chill out! With all the issues of the world happening around us, if you haven't got something nice to say, go outside for a walk and get some fresh air. Learn to appreciate the finer things. Remember, there may never be a tomorrow. I'm going outside to enjoy the beautiful sunshine *smiles* - Posted from rhpmobile

Irony is you didn't see it in mine or how it was intended, but Meander should understand it well. Tall_n_Hard, I don't understand. Your definition of sarcasm differs from mine too much. Today's pet peeve: I'm out of food and too jetlagged to go shopping. Guess it's Menulog again.

    Right, my profile specifically states I am NOT interested in smokers or married men. Also I'm not looking for couples. Yet, I still get plenty of flirts and messages from stinky smokers and cheating men. Please guys, save you messages for someone else, and stop wasting my time. It's very precious!!! :)

    I detest narcissistic people. And it's a growing problem unfortunately. I work with a whole lot of guys who go to the gym religiously and then spend the whole day talking about their workout regime and which part of their body they'll be working on tonight etc, then admire each other and themselves all day at work instead of actually doing any work. Drives me crazy.

    People writing "just saying" at the end of their post. We know you're just saying it because you just said it. It also comes across as defensive, as though they're assuming what they just wrote will put your nose out of joint, which puts my nose out of joint. Just saying.

    We have one for gays , married, single,etc which are fair enough.... But.... but as an older woman I find the cougar one really annoying. Assuming some might find the hot asian (women) one annoying too.. How about FHP do a category for 'dirty old men' or hot asian guys? Or Latino studs? Or PNG wild boys? How do you think those might settle? Just saying. Ageist, racist, sexist... Let's really go for it

    Quite a few of our Celebrities & Musicians have a substance abuse problem. Funny my Ex was totally against drugs, wouldn't even do a little "spliff" in the end for "aphrodisiac" purposes, which she needed & had done in the past, but she adored "Raving Robbie Williams" even though she knew he used to have about a 1/2kg of "Nose Candy" before performing. Stevie Van Zandt once said of Springsteen, "He's the only guy I know that didn't do drugs" & they were mates from 15yrs of age. His words & performances are 2nd to none. Check out his "London 2013 DvD. Cheers Paul.

    I'm sure he was a fun guy and a great entertainer, I'm non judgmental, if ppl want to take drugs I'm not phased, as long as they don't give them to kid's, but some ppl can be hypocritical, my Dad listened to Neil Diamond for 30yrs, but got rid of his vinyl's when he found out he was "coked to the eyeballs" when he wrote most of his music. So what, everybody was back then, look at the lyric's it produced. Willie Nelson had a chaff bag of "houch" in the bus when he travelled, but anybody on "nose candy" got left at the next bus stop, because he knew it fucked up live music. Final word on the subject, we should legalize "houch" for ppl over 18, make the penalties for ppl dealing to underage massive, Kid's experiment, if they have to go to a drug dealer to get a "bit of smoke" we are exposing them to the criminal element of the drug trade who will probably offer them "heavier shit". Chopper Read took drug's, but he made money, shut down & killed a lot of ppl that dealt in underage drugs & prostitution, he did what the "Jacks" weren't allowed to do. The nite he shot the guy @ Bojangles, he had a police flak jacket on, the guy he killed that nite was going to die, even if he was successful in killin' Chop Chop. It was the only time he was charged over a death & he was aquitted on self defence. R.I.P Chop Chop. Cheers Paulie.
