I can't stand people that wait till they get up to the cashier to decided what they want.
"You just had a 15 minute wait in line to make up your mind asshole!"
Or
People waiting on a bus that wait till they get on to rummage through their pocket/purse for money to pay.

People that use their car alarms to figure out where they parked.

People that use plastic bags for small items, like gum, or a candy bar.

Racism against native americans in sports teams.

Wa wa wa you're so PC.

Not PC, just offended, My grandmother was a full blooded Ojibwe, and I'm a half blood so...

It just irritates me that most people don't even consider it racist.

Atom and his package is Rad, punk rock academy was a cool song.

Supposedly professional newscasters who use phrases like "at this point in time" (redundant). and the increasingly annoying "back in the day" (what, do you grow up during Prohibition?).

I hate seeing aquaintences from high school at the register. It's just really awkward. I guess its not a pet peeve but it annoys the shit out of me.

minimum $5 purchase at a local gas station to use a debit card. this is stupid. either you accept debit cards or you don't. don't make me buy more than i want because you form of acceptable payment is flawed on your end. i bitched about this with a clerk there. granted, the whole thing wasn't his fault, but he was a real dick about it. i later pumped $4 worth of gas, and since they would not accept my debit card, i carried in the coffee can in the back seat full of pennies and dumped them on the counter, counting out $4 worth. it was fun.

i really hate gas stations in general. the slow down in pumping the last buck of your pre-paid gas. early morning coffee guys who stand at the register area and converse with the cashier. the lotto ticket ladies who meticulously pick there $100 worth of scratch offs while 20 people are waiting behind them, probably running late for work or something...

The fact that "literally" is the new figuratively, as in, "My jaw LITERALLY hit the floor!"
I wish.

People that speak for a hour on their mobile phone while you're trting to read in silence on a train.

David Cross does a pretty good bit about that.

This is a good one. I was just thinking about that yesterday when a guy used literally the wrong way like that on the radio... Everytime people say it like that it annoys me and I always think "What?!?! What an idiot."

Yes smackers drive me insane! And when my wife talks with food in her mouth. HUGE turn off and I want to divorce her when she does that shit.

...And when my wife tries to dance. Oh god it's hideous. She gets all tensed up...It reminds me of Elaine on Sienfeld. Then if I try to very nicely say something about it, only trying to help her and save her the embarrassment, she gets all pissed and argues with me about how she has rhythm and took dance all through school, ect, ect....(I'm kinda pissed at her right now so I guess I'm venting a little, but still these are huge pet peeves. )

• Talking with food in your mouth.
• Yawn-talking. Uuuugh.
• 'Know what I mean / I'm saying?' after every phrase. Nope, I don't.
• The inconsiderateness of the general public (not holding the door for others, driving like a total dickhead, talking loudly outside, etc., etc.).

I'm sure there's a lot more where those came from.

No worries, she'll be right!

No worries is an Australian English expression, meaning "do not worry about that", "that's alright", or "sure thing". It is similar to the American English no problem. The phrase is widely used in Australian speech and represents a feeling of friendliness, good humour, optimism and "mateship" in Australian culture. The phrase has been referred to as the national motto of Australia.

Trade Flipping
Not using "search"
Feeling entitled to information/toys w/o doing any of your own research
Whining
Being a cynical dick for no reason (wait? oh...aw )

I worked with this dude that said "or whatever" about 1000 times a day. One time the guy even said it 3 times in a short sentence and I almost lost it. The sentence went something like..
"I had to take my old lady to the mall or whatever, so she could pick up some new clothes or whatever or whatever" He ended almost every sentence with it and that time he accidentally said it again after he already ended with it!!! You could ask him the time and he could look at his watch and say the exact time and he'd still go. "It's 3:12 or whatever" dude almost drove me insane.

At least he didn't say "Whatev". That's even worse.

When nervous or under pressure my ex business partner said 'y'know' after every sentence too . . . just another aspect of his being that made me want to garrotte him with his own tongue!

So being a cynical dick with a reason is OK! . . . cool!

we gotta stop this injustice


Next pet peeve= Photo enforced lights and people who cant stop talking about themselves.

people who take on huge responsibilities they don't want to be responsible for i.e. don't have a kid if you're not going to watch it or raise it right same goes for dogs (because regardless of what you think I do not like stepping in dog shit all the time)and why buy rental property if it's a "hassle" to keep up after it

1. People who stop for yellow lights. Additionally, people who don't hustle when they know the green won't be green for long.
2. Fuckers who ride 3 - 4 wide on the freeway all doing the same speed (Yeah, I'm an impatient driver)
3. People who go to costco with their extended family and walk 5 wide. It doesn't need to be a family outing.
4. More costco - People who park their cart next to a pallet and then the people who park their cart next to the other cart and block the isle. Move your shit! Pay attention. WTF?
5. People who still use checks, especially in the 15 items or less lane. Isn't this supposed to be a express lane?
6. People who use self check out for a full shopping cart of groceries.

Bottom line. Anyone who slows me down.

overuse of the word AWESOME.
AMAZING is a runner up.

also, people that say flustrating/flustrated.
I don't know if this is a combo deal with flustered and frustration, but it's dumb.


this is a rampant problem in Portland, especially at restaurant counters/coffee shops, etc.
don't even get in line until you know what you want!
