Title: Pet Peeves
Post by: The Ugly on May 06, 2015, 02:54:16 PM
Everyday short list:

Tailgaters - I'm already doing the limit in the slower lanes, go the fuck around.

Phone Junkies - Why the fuck did you invite me just to watch you text and tweet all night, rude prick(ette)? Don't even have the decency to put their shit on vibrate.

Convenience Store Twofer - 1) Lottery ticket buyers casually browsing EVERY fucking row of losing picks, while the ten of us behind you just have Big Gulps.

2) Raghead clerks who never TELL you what you owe, when the fucking register sales screen is facing them. I will stand silently as long as it takes in these cases, waiting for him to speak. I'll play your f'n game, Mo.

The person standing in line in front of you for 5 minutes then when they get to the counter decides to look up at the menu to see what they want.  What the fuck were they doing the entire 5 minutes?  Couldn't they make up their minds before then?

fat girls wearing 'sexy' clothes

girls telling you to put the toilet seat down when you're done- look before you sit, and also i have to lift it up in the first place, why cant you put it down yourself? stupid sexist chivalric manners

idiots who put loud mufflers on slow shitbox cars

girls who are self righeous all over facebook telling the world they get pissed at this or that or him or her or it. professing that they arent annoyed by these things or that itdoesnt get to them.. yet mentioning it in such a manner basically means it got to me... then they end their rant on a positive note saying how 'im stronger because of it' and all this crap. if youre so strong and smart then whyd you fuck up again?

guys complimenting hot girls online and vice versa girls posting tons of picture of themselves trying to get attention from guys.

girls in general with the exception of their holes n tits and silent mouth.

people at work who only talk about work, especially at 5:30 in the morning. I dont really want to hear about how you did this or that yesterday during your shift, or that you had this or that customer.. i really dont fucking care. nor do i wish to hear your advice, for i know how to do my job already, and in fact am far more efficient than you at it despite having more work to do. this by the way is a female at work, specifically.

People that talk to themselves on Facebook (I think they call is status updates?)

People that have to go through 900 credit cards in the checkout line to see which one have 20 bucks left on it.

Women that ask you to pause JUST as you settle in and pressed 'Play' to watch a movie.

Social media. Even turns dumb 50yo Republicans like Joe into incessant attention whores.

Lack of personal responsibility.

Mentioned this one before: Fastfood policy-makers, who order their employees to suggest additional stuff after one clearly (and daily) states, "Large Diet Coke, THAT'LL BE ALL, thanks."

Sorry teenaged extra item recommender, know it ain't your fault, but I ain't playing. I just repeat "Thanks" and drive up.

when phonebooks existed and you'd look up a number, go where you thought it would be and it would say

"go look under such and such"

Fuck you, why didn't you just put it there???
 
People who buy loto tickets are very slow, never have money ready to pay and often pay in exact change leaving all the change scattered on the counter which the cashier has to pick up and the whole fuckiN, thing takes forever.

Going to a dentist appointment and the guy makes you wait 47 minutes. One last appointment with him to fix a little something then he can suck it. PLU! I gotta pay to park in his area and that sucks hardcore fuckin' ass. I said to myself if he breaks the 50 min barrier, I'm outta there. This brings me to my next one.

Parking meters. They're now set up where if you had 30 min or whatever leftover from the previous, you can't use it. So they bank in all this extra cash with the newer system and trippled their prices. What are you gonna do? Buy a hot air balloon to get around so you don't have to pay to park the mother fucker?

People who spit in public. Total savage behavior, if you're a girl and do this, you are trash.

People who grunt while they train like imbeciles or during abs. C'mon, totally not necessary and just trying to bring attention to your pathetic self. No idea why most these losers think they're so hot or wear tank tops to train. Hardly anybody is impressive anymore, or if they are, they come off as being very egotistical.

Fuck man, could go on a long ass time here if I wanted to, lol... So much shit pisses me off and am just happy I don't need to use public transportation no more.

Which brings me to just that. Siting down with another dudes leg touching mine. FFFAaaacckkk, I can't stand that. I'm twice his size, and he sits legs super open, dude...Fuck you. I once put my apple core in this hip hop asshole's hood of his jacket as when he sat behind me, he was just leaning and making contact with me. Fuckin' shit drive me nuts. Could just imagine the turd later on putting on his hood yelling "yo what the fuck yo..." when the rotton apple hits him behind the head and goes down his back...

People not letting you out of the subway when the doors open. I could bulldozer all those people, but always am polite and twist and turn around so no contact is made. Then when it does happen I'm the asshole, ok... Sure...

People who let their kids scream and run around in public, restaurants or shit like that. Just boggles my mind how the don't think that shit pisses people off. I once told a woman "C'ause this is getting real annoying" she knew what i meant then tells her kids how they're behavior is making me upset. Good job bitch, good job....

People who walk their dogs and don't pick up the shit.

Throwing gum wrappers, bags of chips makes me lose my shit totally. I refuse to be friends with anyone who does flat out litters like that. Huge lack of class and just wish they were shown better.

peptide shot to take here, so enough of my bitching for now, but keep this thread in the head page and sure enough, I'll be adding stuff.

Enjoy!

Haven't experienced the "raghead clerks" thing. This is probably because I seldom shop at convenience stores. I buy lottery tickets at the grocery store. The clientele is the same though. They take their sweet time selecting numbers and which tickets to buy as if it actually makes any difference.

All the other stuff you mentioned drives me crazy too. Generally, I'll push the speed limit a little if the roads and visibility are good. I heard that no cop will stop you if your only going 7 miles over the limit. One place where I obey the speed limit is in a school zone. These theories have worked for me, or I've just been lucky all these years.

When I visit my son in Germany, the speeds at which people travel on the Autobahn are scary to someone from the states. Basically, if you get into an accident on the Autobahn going say 120 - 140 mph, you life will be over. My advice is to stay out of the fast lane or you'll get crushed by someone driving a Mercedes.

Having lived primarily in Germany for the last 27 years, my son is a German driver. Riding with him is a nail biter.

Don't ever go to Nova-Scotia. The population is aged there and they all drive under the speed limit. And pedestrians assume cars will stop at cross walks. I saw the look of death in one woman's eyes as I came so close to hitting her, lol!!!

Wow that sounds dangerous. We're pretty good at those things here in Ontario. The only time people forget how to drive properly is when lights are out and traffic lights are non-functional and should be treated as all-way stops. Most people have no idea it becomes an all-way stop and just drive through.

Had to clarify "ragheads," because even though ALL convenience stores here are owned/run by sand people, the Westernized, non-headdressers are very courteous and appreciate your business.

Far as driving, I fucked up my record pretty bad in the 90s. Ever since, I'm as cautious as can be. No ticket in years, imagine that.

Another one. Especially when careless Mom has the stroller out front to take the initial impact. Eyes down or straight ahead, never even thinking to check for traffic. Like that white paint on the street will protect them from a speeding car.

And face it, as a driver, even a careful one, without lights or stop signs, those fucking crosswalks are hard to detect.

Worst of all is when you stop for the ped, and they just start crossing blindly, ignorantly assuming everyone is driving equally alert. But there's a speeding car coming up in the next lane who hasn't figured it out. Now you're car is blocking them from seeing the person; and, if they had half the brain to even pay attention, the speeder would still be unseen by the ped because of me.

I usually just honk and close my eyes.

LOL! in NS, if you are even 2 feet from a cross walk, all cars stop, lol! Very save place to be on roads but so many geezers who drive like Mr Magoo...

SAy the light is green, the first car SLOWLY advances, the next one won't move until at least 20 feet of clearance is given. Fuck man, they are slow. Was biting my nails but laughing so hard at how SLOW they are in nova scotia, oh man you can't be in a hurry there, lol.... Super nice people though!

1. Those super fucking fat or scrawny crossfit fags at the gym that think they run shit and wear those huge beats headphones, spandex, knee wraps, wrist wraps, snapbacks, and a belt and walk around like their tough shit with their giant gym back and pre workout shake when there's fucking lockers in the gym to put all that shit in. This fat crossfit guy in his 20's at the gym tried to start something with a few days ago about taking a 45lb plate that he "was using" even though there were like 5 more about 2 feet behind him and we exchanged a couple words and we ended up calling each other a few names and could literally feel the Tren rage building up in me and I started walking away already pissed off and he was like "So you're just gonna take my fucking plate?" I then turned around and threw it at him and that beta bitch didn't do anything and just sat there scared as fuck.

2. Those girls at the grocery store who have 10000 coupons and go through their purse forever at the checkout line trying to find all the right coupons to use for their groceries.

3. People who are clueless as fuck on the road and don't use signals and just cut you off or people that get in your lane and end up going 10mph slower than you were driving.

4. Fat old bastards at the gym locker room that walk around naked like it's their own house. There's like 10 5 year olds in this locker room why would you want to expose your hairy balls to all these kids you fuckin sicko.

5. Those guys that wear all this name brand gym clothing like gymshark (those gay slim fit jogger pants especially) and think they're huge and check themselves out every 5 mins in the mirror while working out.

6. When you're at a gas station waiting to put gas and the person in front of you is finished putting gas in their car but takes their sweet time to clean their windshield etc.

7. When you're trying to merge into traffic coming off an exit and some
douchebag doesn't fucking let you merge at all and pretends like they don't see you.

8. Any Indian or Asian drivers

9. Passive aggressive people that say something rude towards you then joke about it and laugh like they were kidding when they really aren't. I want to fucking punch my coworker in the face because he will make some ignorant and rude remarks towards me sometimes then smile and laugh like he was kidding about it.

10. People that HAVE to or feel the need to cuss or say the word fuck every time they open their mouth

Especially when its not a crossfit "box". My gym doesn't have platforms or bumper plates, but these crossfit idiots will come in and do their snatches and clean and jerks and then wonder why all the 45's have cracks in them. Pisses me off to no end!
Basically anything on the road will make me want to go on a shooting rampage.

This actually happened to me twice, but I used to drive back and forth to a city about an hour away from where I live every weekend, and on fridays there would always be crazy traffic. So this guy driving a lunch box (one of those "souped up" cars with the spoiler on the back and shiny lights all over the place) is behind me and we are all standing still on the highway. He starts flashing his brights at me to switch lanes. I switch over when I see an opening and then switch right back but behind him and start flashing my brights at him until traffic started moving again. Felt strangely good to do that haha.

No, it's a stupid one. Take a lawnchair someday and sit by a crosswalk (one with no stop signs or lights). Just an hour or two, sneak a few beers, Watch how many cars drive through at top speed never even noticing it.

If this is the ol' 'pedestrian always has the right of way' defense, well, you got him there. Make sure to let the grieving loved ones know how legal the deceased was at his or funeral. Sure they'll take plenty of comfort knowing the driver got legally jammed up, too.

I was in pretty good shape at the time, better than most of his athletes, anyway (aesthetically, I mean), and I trained intensely. Think that's why he kinda gave me a day pass.

Exactly. As a crosswalker, probably better to be alive, despite stupid drivers; than legally justified, but dead.

No?

I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just saying that most people who drive have no idea wtf they're doing. Of course check before you cross haha. But when I drive through crosswalks I always check that no one is walking, I don't wanna end up killing someone and facing legal problems for the rest of my life.

LOL! in NS, if you are even 2 feet from a cross walk, all cars stop, lol! Very save place to be on roads but so many geezers who drive like Mr Magoo...

SAy the light is green, the first car SLOWLY advances, the next one won't move until at least 20 feet of clearance is given. Fuck man, they are slow. Was biting my nails but laughing so hard at how SLOW they are in nova scotia, oh man you can't be in a hurry there, lol.... Super nice people though!

Yeah, that'd probably fill up a whole different list of gripes.

over sensitive people.

Why is our society so shitty?  You say one negative thing about Blacks and they start to whine, you say one negative thing about a gay and they start to whine, you say anything bad about fat people and they whine.  Society has turned into a bunch of whiney assholes

I hear you, nothing personal. I'm just more concerned with pedestrians who apply zero common sense or perspective regarding painted white lines. They put their lives in the hands of strangers with lethal weapons, many careless or distracted themselves.

One dies; one goes to jail. Probably a relatively short stay, too. Who's got more at stake is all?

Fuck cross walks. Why have a car stop? It's not eco friendly fuel wise and what is it for a pedestrian to wait another 30 seconds???

Even when I had no car, I thought it was a dumb concept.

Especially when its not a crossfit "box". My gym doesn't have platforms or bumper plates, but these crossfit idiots will come in and do their snatches and clean and jerks and then wonder why all the 45's have cracks in them. Pisses me off to no end!
Basically anything on the road will make me want to go on a shooting rampage.

This actually happened to me twice, but I used to drive back and forth to a city about an hour away from where I live every weekend, and on fridays there would always be crazy traffic. So this guy driving a lunch box (one of those "souped up" cars with the spoiler on the back and shiny lights all over the place) is behind me and we are all standing still on the highway. He starts flashing his brights at me to switch lanes. I switch over when I see an opening and then switch right back but behind him and start flashing my brights at him until traffic started moving again. Felt strangely good to do that haha.

It's honestly the biggest pain dealing with the crossfit people. My gym was originally supposed to have a tanning bed room for us but instead they made it a crossfit room which pissed me off beyond belief. And the crossfit people STILL continue to use the regular gym area for no reason other than to show off

I've come to the conclusion jaywalking is much safer. Fuckers know they're in the wrong, better believe their eyes are peeled.

What's the deal with Cross Fit and Cross Walks getting the most discussion?  Just makes me Cross.
