Pet Peeves

[ManNamedTruth]

being tall and worrying about short people.

actually, I'm kidding sort of. it doesn't bother me like a pet peeve, but i do always feel very guilty in a crowd at shows, because i'm definitely 6'3" and I need to make sure no one's getting dwarfed. not a pet peeve at all, but i do feel very responsible for making sure the people behind me can see.

serious pet peeve, men (namely "men" - probably more accurately "boys" - somewhere right around my age) who don't respect girls our age. Or women at all. The kind who don't see anything wrong with pornography, and don't feel ashamed to talk about it, or act crudely in mixed company. Not that it'd even be alright with just guys, but in the company of women, completely out of line.

I don't see pornography as degrading to women, maybe a little though. The way I see it is that both men and women are taking part in it and both obviously have no morals. Maybe its degrading to  our culture as a whole or something.

Or mabey it's just AWESOME!!

I guess I don't have friends that do this anymore. But i used to hate when people would be eating something greasy like potatoe chips and then proceed to use my tv remote or video game conrollers without wiping there hands off and get the controller all greasy.

Watching porn doesn't mean you have no morals.  ???

I didn't say watching it does. Maybe taking place in it. I watch porn.

No offense, but the logic there is flawed.

when people ask if I am going to be a teacher because I am 3 days away from graduating Penn St. with an English degree.

The biting of forks and spoons drives me nuts, as well.

Chewing gum or food with mouth open. My God does that drive me crazy.

People who listen to "country" music on the radio, or people who come from a small town like myself (damascus,MD) and feel that they live the lives of those "country" songs because cows are in the town. That is tedious pop music with the same studio band for what seems like 90% of the "country" stars.

Joe Paterno preaching that no one single person is bigger than Penn St. University, yet look at what he has done to the program. Don't tell me I don't respect him either. I have been going to the games since I was 6, and I am 23 now. And countless family members have gone to PSU, so I know my history!!!!!  ;D

I'll throw it out there and will get yelled at-- most Nirvana fans.

Parents who don't even attempt to control their kids, especially in public!

and that teeth on silverware sound, I think thats been mentioned.

Congrats! My godparents son is a math prof at Penn St.. He loves teaching there.

I absolutely hate when I lose my stereo or television remote.  Especially when I'm in bed.

Thanks! That's awesome. I could never handle being a teacher. I respect what they do, but could never have the motivation or courage to be one.

people who won't take "no" for an answer or who can't be alone for even 5 minutes.  i am in the middle of an annoying episode dealing with one of those types. aarrgh.

crackberry addicts- i think someone else mentioned this. my brother is the worst with this. always texting or playing games on the thing. one of these days i am gonna yank it away from him and crush it.

i also can't stand eating with little forks, it just makes food taste wrong.

When the only way to find out about a news story on a website is to 'watch the video'.........maybe I just want to READ it and not wait for the stupid video to load!

I know! I hate when people do that. I just wanna gank it away and yell, "Damn! What's so hard about face-to-face interaction?"

But then they'd just pick it up and send someone a text message about what a bitch I am.

I think it's often about intimacy issues. Once I was out to eat with my brother and he was texting away, and I started getting upset with him telling him how emotionally unavailable he was, blah, blah, blah. All the while he kept texting, and i was like, are you even listening to me? And he said, yeah, i'm typing myself a memo of what you're saying because it's really helpful. We never made eye contact during that whole exchange. Bizarre.  :-/

what's up with people talking like they would if they were sending text messages? i called my younger brother to ask him about some weekend plans, and instead of saying "i dont know" he said "i d k."

one of my interns says "OMG" instead of "oh my god." i showed him something funny the other say, and he SAID "lol." he laughed, and in the midst of laughing out loud, told me he was laughing out loud.
