What are your pet peeves?

People who snort all their phlegm back repeatedly, so much so you think they're going to drown themselves. Highly prevalent in public places such as Home Affairs, or Licensing Departments.
 
Inconsiderate people to sum up the rest:

1. People who play really loud music. I don't want to listen to your music in my house. I especially do not want to hear bass noises while trying to sleep. It's my biggest peeve of them all.
2. People who look down on others.
3. I really hate it when people insist that I must do something even if I tell them no.
 
People who don't indicate.
People who don't know how to use a circle.
People who don't give you space in bumper to bumper traffic (stupid I know, but I mean you're not moving so why not let me fit in?)
Troubleshooting IT issues with complete tools.
People who think they know more about your profession/field of work then you do.
Express tills in supermarkets that are in no way express.
People who switch from the slow lane to the fast lane and goes slower than the cars in the slow lane.
The Jack Russels downstairs.
Inconsiderate Neighbours who play loud music. Especially late at night in a (generally) peaceful complex.
Children in restaurants.
Parents who can't handle their children in restaurants.
People who take chances to get free food in restaurants by complaining about almost anything.
Taxi Drivers.

I think this might be a long ass list :D

But I'm overall a pretty patient guy.
 
1. People who play shit music (loudly).
2. Voorbarige mense (pardon spelling errors).
3. Someone who speaks louder the softer I go (I'm not outspoken, just loudly use profanity at times).
4. Liars (pretentious motherf*****s).
5. Mixed signals (may seem silly, but it can be confusing and annoying).

Fickle people. One day you say A and they say B, and then the next day, you say B and they say A, if that makes sense. Always have to have a f*cking argument just for the sake of it. Several people in my immediate family are like that, and it has gotten to the point where I just don't want to talk to them anymore.

This. And people who argue for the sake of arguing.

And people who are just complacent with everything: "Oh look, the world is burning around us but at least it's warm."

Sometimes that can be an invaluable trait. Takes a different kind of person to be content with what;s happening around them.
 
I've seen a couple of mentions to smokers in here. It didn't bother me when I used to smoke socially, but now I kinda detest smoking.

Other than that I hate taxi drivers and electronic music.

Unfortunately when that's the mentality of the majority, everything begins to swiftly slide southwards...

It's about as bad as arm-chair activists.

Since we have a thread for guilty pleasures, I figured I'd make one for things that piss you off, just to balance it out nicely. :rolleyes:

Here's my list:


  • Stupid people.
  • Smokers who don't realize how much they stink, and bad smelling people in general.
  • Electronic Arts.
  • People who think getting drunk is something to aspire to.
  • Hypocrites.
  • Gullible people.
  • People that drive in the yellow line when traffic is standing still.
  • Inanimate objects that don't do what I want them to.

That's all I can think of for now. I'm sure I'll think of plenty more later.

This list, plus:
* Arrogant people.

Haha - good luck...I also hate them.

I hate noisy neighbours...particularly ours that have to constantly work on their car and rev the crap out of it daily (when it idles it sounds like it needs some serious TLC though).
Also I hate those dudes that come along to sift through your trash on trash collection day...first they're pretty dangerous when they're hauling their load in the street - especially when it looks like a 1 ton load lol and then they also tend to leave half of the trash that was in your bin all over your pavement.

Plenty more but I'll just add one quick one just related to gaming: I hate games that require an always online connection when you're effectively playing what could have been released as single player content (Diablo III). Sure, not the end of the world but when you experience lag then it sucks (I love Path of Exile because it's free and plays great however with lag it just isn't fun to play) and also they get to force any and every update on you regardless of if you just wanted a quick solo session using the current version you have (Starcraft II seems to do this to me every time I just want to screw around a bit with the some of the solo campaign missions).

Dude, my neighbours win hands down. They own their own minibus taxi looking vehicle, with what can only be described as stadium concert sized speakers in it. When they play it, and do "bass tests" as they call it, my house windows rattle so much that I can't hear my TV at all, or hear anyone talk at all.
