People who are critical of the time I spend online - as though it's unproductive time or something.... I could watch TV, after all...  Waft every crest upon your destined sea. Embrace the Wave of Serendipity, Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy Refurl with sail for all eternity. |

People who talk on cell phones...at first it was just while they were driving. Then I noticed they talk on them in the grocery store, in the mall, in movie theaters, as they are just walking down the street! What is SO important that they can't wait? Ok, I know there may be perfectly good reasons but...it's MY pet peeve. (No, I don't own one.) |

Hmm...where do I start...how much time do I have... hmmmmmmm... People who stand up before the bus stops..(think I mentioned that in the last pet peeve post..) Tripping over things. My propensity towards spilling drinks - whether my own, other people's, or ones that are half way across the room (NOT an exaggeration) Lecturers who drone on. Cleaning out hair that blocks the sink\shower (I mean really - living in a flat - you think anyone else will do it?) Cleaning burnt pots... Washing dishes - drying is fine...but washing? Blech...little bits of mouldy/old/slimy food swimming around... CLEANING. Falling asleep in the library and having freaky as dreams in the space of ten minutes that I can't QUITE remember when I wake up..interferes with the train of thought...make that falling asleep in the library AND while in lectures. Running out of milk on a rainy day. Accidently squashing insects OR watching them gurgle down the plughole before I can rescue them. Watching other people squashing poor, defenceless insects because they are 'scared' of them. OH COME ON. (Ok - so I live in a place with no poisonous insects - I am entitled to this view.) Watching cats that I NEED to pat running under someone's damn house. Watching flowers wilt. Having not....quite....enough....shampoo/cleanser/moisturiser etc left in the bottle and feeling guilty when I borrow my flatmate's...(ok - so I tell her.) Mouldy fruit/cheese/damn anything I spent good money on. Squeaky shoes - on myself or others. Loud ticking clocks. (The batteries are swiftly removed from THOSE - unfortunately, the library clocks don't HAVE batteries as a surreptitious operation revealed...) Lying about surreptitious operations.(But they don't have batteries - the clocks, not the operations.) Being too hot. Being too cold. Finding someone has gone to my bookshelf...looked around and NOT PUT THE BOOKS BACK EXACTLY THE WAY I HAD THEM. Worse yet - finding a book MISSING. Seeing a spot I know there should be a book in...not quite knowing WHICH one has gone - running around the house screaming 'which (er...here is where we pick an imaginative name) has taken my book. Where is it! Where is my BOOK!' Finding the missing book on my desk where I had put it earlier. (Happens only 5 times out of 10, SO THERE.) Being too obsessive and being unable to help it. Being so obsessive I have to come and edit my posts 7 times. Watching other obsessive people not being obsessive in the same ways I am. Watching unobsessive people and wanting them to sort out their lives and get obsessive in order to be more organised (but not necessarily tidier.) Waiting. For anything. At any time. NOW NOW is a desirable, yet elusive, state. Being so tired I can't move, yet COMPLETELY unable to stop talking to various people around the world. Spelling mistakes in poetry. Spelling mistakes AT ALL. Going on and on about pet peeves - boring the hell out of everyone. Hey - if you got this far I have a lollipop waiting. Tell me the flavour...I'll send it by fedex heh.

So you are shipping Raspberry lollies in copious quantities Goddess? Well please hurry up, need them now, yesterday, and the day before. Ack taking the immediate to new lows. I know, always obsessed with taking things to extremes. Did I say obsessive, moi? Only with the goddess and maybe sounds, ala unconscious conducting, which you find so amusing. Hey that did not make your list, not even under obsessive musician people. My Pet Peeves---- Pet peeves are a pet peeve of mine. I mean people sitting around like I am now, groaning, moaning and whining about what in life causes them the most anxiety. Oh the carthatic joys of launching a tirade; empty this vessel of life's woes. Yeah like griping here is going to do a bloody thing for what ails. Ack the humanity is missing from humans. Who took that? I want to know. Ok, I hate- people blaming every one and any one for their own misery, while never offering the concept of their own decisons, beliefs, actions etc may have a rather profoud influence on the same. And what is worse is i no doubt am one of you. All my fault. Music critics. Literaray critics, any critics of the arts. Especially music critics that 1) cannot play an instrument 2) have no training in music whatsoever 3) have no or nearly no performance or composition experience. In other words, people who think that through some divine intervention or sexually transmitted microbe, he or she has an innate understanding of the complexeties and subtleties of music or any other art form. And feel qualified to judge the work of others- without the slightest understanding or experience in the artisitic discipline being written about. Arghhhhhhh I want to hear a critic's album, just once. Now on a more daily-living basis. And just to prove I am equally useless-- I HATE people in stores and or public places who block entrances and exits with 1) Themselves {apparently lost in their internal, eternal, oh-so winding road to Moronia} 2) Themselves and a long-lost friend {who simply must relate the most anal and bathotic of exchanges} 3 )Themselves and a new-found friend {see #2, only this is an introduction to banality-"high, want to bet I can say more stupid things in 5 minutes than you"- [Actually this variety can actually be amusing for all of 8 seconds. It is a competition] } More on "Oblivious humans in public places" later. While I and any number of other creatures unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity, are trying to detour around the above, or just gain entrance into a place. Are these people so incredibly inaware or are they merely that self-absorbed? Side indignation: any rambling fool who runs out of brackets, paranthesis etc. As this person has said way too much about way too little. (See also "looking in Mirror") Hey Goddess, you are right this can be cathartic fun. Well, in a sick-puppy kind of way , lol. I know, never doubt the Goddess. Another one, bloody Goddesses who are ALWAYS right. I mean, Hell, she is a Goddess, so she has to be right. I get that, do not have a problem there. Damn thing is though, it sure makes me wrong an awful lot of the time. Bugger that. While being wrong is certainly not new, it is new I have to admit it so often. And I am talking on a regular basis here. This is a mighty humbling experience. Drummers, they can be a pain. Those people just lah-de-da along without the slightest bit of concern for melody or harmony. Three aspects of music and these clowns get away with only one of the three. Bloody drummer could care less what keys you are modulating through. No he is just going to cruise right along without the slightest care. And you know what, the pay is the same. Another is, knowing I will have edited this and missed something. Which I will of course be informed of. No wait, actually I like that- the obsessive editor thing is really pretty cool. Now that is too strange. Ack attack, I have just gotten started with showing my menagerie of What-its that Ticks-this one off. Off to serve. "Emotion revealed as the ocean maid..."

i would have to agree with christopher on that one... stupidity and even moreso... incompetence especially from people who flaunt superiority... that one gets me, big time... i'm not too fond of people who don't know how to merge into traffic from a ramp onto the highway... i was going to make myself a bumper sticker that said, "Learn to Merge" but i was sort of afraid i might get more than i bargained for with that one.. *g  holier-than-thou attitudes kill me... god i hate that people who talk behind other people's backs... big pet peeve of mine... people who have nothing positive to say about anything and everything... people who lie... especially out of habit.... prejudiced people... intolerant people... cd wrappings or other packaging with plastics or other materials which make it very difficult to open... but ESPECIALLY the cd plastic wrap because i usually can't wait to get it out of the jewel case to listen to it! music, a major part of my life... people that argue for the sake of arguing.... critical people.... and judgemental people... know-it-alls.... controlling people.... people who use other people's good nature to their benefit.... people who pretend to listen when it's clear they didn't really hear a word and don't care.... HEY! seems like i have a lot of pet peeves about PEOPLE... no wonder i'm a moth staring into a glowing screen! hehe... but on the OTHER hand, i really LOVE people... especially all you poetpeople..... !!!!!!!!!! and that, my friends, is the absolute truth from the bottom of my heart! (ain't that corny?)umm... there's more i'm sure but one of my biggest pet peeves are people who ramble, just to hear themselves speak and so i'll shut up now [This message has been edited by doreen peri (edited 02-08-2001).] |

Askew eyebrows. Not being able to block: hits, kicks, kidney punches, nose-tickles, and groping fingers that muss eyebrows. The attached body that then runs away giggling, blocking all offensive sternum- aimed punches and shin-kicks, giggling more as I run to the bathroom to fix aforementioned mussed eyebrows back into perfect arcs. ...looking over and seeing that “I’m going to tickle, throttle, or annoy you by touching a particularly irritable part of your anatomy.” grin smeared all over his face, and not being able to prevent exaggerated squirming. Thinking...about...all...of...this... AHHHHHH!!! Now my face is all twitchy! DAMN YOU! *growls* and being called "cute" for this post... *cringes* Oh...dammit... the giggles again... *sprints off* If you can't beat 'em, sleep with their friends. |

LOL...sammi, one of the most common phrases in my household (due to my frequent rushes in and out of the bathroom for inane reasons) "AAAHH! DAMMIT! WET SOCKS!" ... *sigh* I will NEVER learn. But, really, that has to be the most annoying feeling in the world. (I mean RIGHT under mussed eyebrows -- almost a tie *gasp!*) and... "girls who wear all the most popular things and then when they show up in groups you can't tell them apart because they look like friggin robots" AH HA HA! ~grins~ Uhm, yeah, every time I pass by those little "blond-nests" my face adopts a look like I just swallowed a pubic hair. heh. Thanks for that list...I mean the whole thing. Ditto. ~shaking head~ Karen, I'm agreeing with you again.  ... hey, you think Sammi talks to trees?[This message has been edited by Elizabeth Cor (edited 02-09-2001).] |

serenity,do you know i have never once even considered messing with telemarketers...i'll have to give it a try!! lol. Although i have mastered the art(with the aid of caller id,which always says it's 'out of area' for telelmarketers and cell phones so it's a 50-50 chance)of detecting a telemarketer on the other line and then hanging up before they even start talking. Another method is waiting to see if they pronounce my last name correctly(it's a doozy) if not then they've prob'ly never met me and must therefore be telemarketers...heehee lol And elizabeth,do i talk to trees? duh!!  I'm a swamp faeryie aren't i? Actually in my younger days,after watching ferngully,yes i did go around talking to trees. I have an immense love for nature, but i would have to say it really has been awhile since i talked to trees. They still talk to me though =] And if it counts i do carry on conversation with my 2 cats IN CAT LANGUAGE and in plain english regularly. lol.i am known throughout illinois for my talent to mimic cat meows,cat purrs,cat growls,cat squeaks,and the occasional cat snore (does any one else have a cat that snores??)Okay and now i have a brand new pet peeve. I hate getting up in the morning and upon shoving MY cup of coffee or bowl of instant hot crap in the microwave finding that someone else has forgotten THEIR cup of coffee or bowl of oatmeal. And the 2 things collide and of course spill,what a great way to start the morning. I also hate finding forgotten oatmeal in the microwave because,when you leave it like that it turns into a rubbery disc molded by the bowl,and tastes awful,so not only is it wasted,but it's also really nasty to get out of the bowl. i hate it when i forget to close the window when it rains and then everything gets drenched (nd soured if you discover it to late) and it also gets the blinds all nasty looking with dirty water marks. i hate cleaning blinds....lol oh and one more....as your rushing out the front door when your purse gets the strap miraculously hung up around the door knob and your walking so fast that it yanks you back and you crash your head into the door. okay okay one more.....when someone else SEES you crash your head into the door and you feel like an idiot...lol Do i contradict myself?Very well i contradict myself.I contain multitudes.~walt whitman |

Oh, and Karilea, while askew eyebrows on other people is a little annoying... it's the SENSATION of having one's OWN eyebrows mussed that drives me !&@!)#&@!*)@# ...the little hairs meshed all out of sorts... it's like having a wedgie...  *looks over the supergrin* We need a "snicker" smilie to go along with that needed "innocent" smilie...ya listenin', Ron?

OK...perhaps I don't have quite as long a list as some of us here...LOL...but, I'm with Poet DeVine with the people on cell phones while driving...sheesh...hmm...let's see...I can't stand ignorance/inconsideration either...  and, last, but definitely not least, when people put the colored plastic-coated paper clips in with my silver metal ones. OMG!!!  Well, thanks, serenity for starting this thread...it's been quite therapeutic! LOL sp ...if I ride these dreams to the Irish Sea, oh, even there, I know your heart rides with me... |

Prejudice, Racism or Intolerance of any kind ... be it race, gender, belief, sexual preferences, culture, financial status etc. "homophobia" really peeves me ... as does adults teaching their children to have these prejudices ... "interrupting their innocence" Impatience and rudeness .. Public displays of the above ... ( especially by people with money who think they are better than the rest and dont have to wait their turn or should get special treatment) Lying and on a lighter note.... people who drive rudely and dont use their blinkers/signals... or let others in or out when they aren't going anywhere anyway while sitting in backed up traffic. (and then honk at me when I let people in or out) DJ's on the Radio that talk on top of the begining and endings of song ..ARRRGHHH!! And OF COURSE there is that ever popular.. why cant ANYONE else in the house put a new roll of TP on the roller ???????? but hey ... I guess its job security for me right? thats all for now any way ... lol |

K, check! I have to agree: spirits visible, chairs imperceptible. Right. All above lists after Karen’s addition... agree agree agree!!! (though I don’t have that dog problem, Sharon... “Sit, Chris!” heheheheh... oh god, the giggles again…) Uhm.. anyway... But Sea, you hit some special ones: children without manners & parents that allow it (I'm one of those barely tolerant persons that will turn to their friend, mother, and esp. boyfriend and say, "My kids will NEVER be like that." Or, "I'll pay you if you kick them." which is usually followed by the correct response: "The kids or the parents?") cruelty to animals...these people need to be SHOT. And for once I'm not being dramatic. And: men who stare at large breasts LOL! Yeah, I believe I’ve used the line, “Hello? Yeah, Hi… See these? They’re not speakers.” ~Beth rifle in hand, dog biscuit in her pocket, arms crossed over her chest, and a dead glare for unruly children (she then falls over a chair, but a sweet red water spirit helps her up...) |

When ever I'm anxious or in a particulary bad mood I get annoyed by people chewing their food. They don't even have to be chewing very loudly or slurping or smashing it up in their mouths, it just really gets my goat. That and chawing (that's right chawing not chewing) gum. I remember this one time last year I was taking a test in English and the person behind me was just chewing and moving the gum around in her mouth. I almost had to leave! Either that or tell her I'd make her swallow it. AHHH! Joy Our doubts are traitors, And make us loose the good we oft might win By fearing to attempt. ~Shakespeare |

I am with SEA on the chewing with your mouth open..... Then of course there is the inevitable ego that needs caressing by spending 99% of their time trying to convince the world how wonderful and special they are......(for Pete's sake....use some of the time PROVING it).... People who shave or put on make-up while driving in rush hour traffic and of course the Donald Trumps wanna be's that read the Wall Street Journal on the steering wheel of their car.

Oh geez, with my hot temper anything is possible. lol I hate being touched. Unless it's someone that I am in a very, very close relationship with or unless I clearly show that it is oke to touch me. This really bugs me. Same as the whole "You're in my bubble" thing. I hate it when people stand too close to me. It's just rude and annoying. I hate it when people seem like they're making up their own problems. They sit and complain about basically anything they can get. People that gossip. 'Nuff said. People that lie. Ditto. People that are just plain stupid. I don't mean book smarts and things like that. I mean that they are just straight up ignorant. Intolerance. Like saying that homosexuals are supposedly going to hell. Or that they should be shot. They can't help who they are. And why would God make people homosexual if he condemned it? Or racial intolerance. That is the stupidest thing ever! It's just skin color for cryin' out loud. Bratty kids that whine and throw a tantrum every time they don't get what they want. People that don't really LISTEN. They go on and on about how terrible *you* are when they aren't even listening to what you have to say. Narrow-minded people. You know, the ones that say you're wrong simply because you're opinion isn't the same as their own. The customers who come up to the counter and ask the prices (when they're posted in big bold letters right behind you) while you're right in the middle of something like helping another customer. Or like when they come up to you while your doing the trash or something and they go "Gimme a bottle of water and a turkey sandwich..." and then when you tell them that you can't take their order...they have to go to the cash register which is like 5 feet away they get all mad! It's so.... People that make up rumors about other people. That is so childish and petty. When people constantly complain (edited by Alicat) about something stupid like you not being dressed for work...well..you can get dressed when you go to work...your boss doesn't care and there's no harm done...so why are they endlessly complaining and yelling? Makes no sense. Well that's all I feel like spitting out right now. Buh-bye.  I am no one if not myself. Angel of Darkness [This message has been edited by Alicat (edited 02-12-2001).] |

Oooh...I forgot! Lack of manners. I mean I'll admit that I can be very vulgar at times and I cuss like a sailor, but I'm polite. People bump into me...I'll say "I'm sorry" or "excuse me" and probably with a smile just to show that it's alright and they don't say one single thing. Same thing with no "thank you"'s or "your welcome"'s. It's an easy thing to do, so why not do it? and when people say "Gimme" like you owe them something (when you really don't)...what's so hard about saying "Can I have..." or "I would like..."? And chewing with your mouth open! Can you say 'EW'?! Guys that think girls are their property (edited by Alicat) and girls that think guys are there for the sole purpose of buying them things and making them look good. Pathetic! And controlling boyfriends/girlfriends...oh no...I don't play that game. I also agree with just about everything that SEA said. I am no one if not myself.

My pet peeves are: Youths who just go around looking for fights. You know the type - the rugged kids who sit around in the highschool hallways like mines, waiting to go off and freak you out if you're on their hitlist[in my case I'm on most hitlists, I ask too many questions, mwahahahaha] People who can't or won't stop talking about petty things like money and sex. People who try to push some BS philosophy over on me, like creationism or racism or patriarchy. People who think that because I'm young I don't have a clue what I'm doing in life, and so therefore I need all the help I can get from adults. Well, this one's a bit of a complicated one. I guess I mean people who think that if I don't get their help, I'll ultimately fail in everything I do. And finally, the pet pieves of myself: When I jump to conclusions When I think everybody's out to get me because of a few rotten apples in a barrel of otherwise perfectly fine apples. When I lock up and become shy when someone sits beside me on a flight. Then I usually end up probably makeing this person feel awkward. When I toil under the assumption that I'm the brains behind the operation. |

Sorry about the language.  I meant to come back and edit it when I got the little notice, but I had to leave for work and I'm sure you know how that goes. I'll behave myself. I am no one if not myself. Angel of Darkness |

I don't mean to sound sexist here, but I recall a joke about a team of people trying to come up with the answer to the question of whether computers should be referred to as she or as he.[sorta like how boats are referred to as shes] Anyhow, the men said that computers should be referred to as She because they store your mistakes away in memory for future retrieval. lol, just had to bring that up after Serenity's comment.

I get really frustrated with any form of discrimination. Hate it! And generalisations. Just cause some men/women have certain bad habits doesn't mean they all do. Or that bored " have a nice day" from the check out chick. But what I really can't stand is when someone asks me what I do in my spare time and I say write, then they make smart comments about people who write poetry. Or even worse, some one who crits your stuff when they don't write themselves!! I wish you every happiness and may you always have the best of the good things in life. a brand |

Poet deVine - I have a problem also with people talking on cell phones all over the place. I only use mine, and I never use it any where else, is when I'm scuba diving. It really works well when I have to call home to see what is on for lunch. Hehehe BC |

I've gotta go with Dee about generalizations. . . just can't stand them!!! And cell phone usage. . .don't get me started. . . And people who seem to think that just because they're in a hurry, you have to be as well!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Sounds like walt is ribbed out. Well another thing I hate is when somebody says something OFFENSIVE and then says "oh, no offense though" That pisses me off!! I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |
