Pet Peeves. Lets hear them :)

I'm just going to invest all my money into space travel now in hopes of getting the fuck out of here

 

One of mine, is when people say something like "Oh ya, I seen that movie last week. Yeah, we seen that". I don't know why it irks me but its does more than it should.

 

I have mild OCD, mostly it's just stuff I can laugh at myself for doing, I have this thing where I have to tap myself 3 times if I step on a manhole cover.

Let's say I'm walking down the street and I see a tiny rock, sometimes my brain will go like this:

"You better fucking go back and kick that rock, or your day is going to suck and bad stuff will happen".

 

My boss wasn't Jewish... but his wife was, and I think his wife's side is more dominant in the religion crap than his side of the family... but he ate with his mouth open. I wasn't too wealthy when I first started to work for him and whenever he would first invite me to lunch, I would go and hang out with him, grabbing a bite to eat and I didn't notice it for the first month or so. Then, all of a sudden, my world came crashing down when I was telling him a story and I saw his nasty, crusty lips smacking together chowing down on a roast beef sub, pulling red onions out of his mouth. Dude, I got lost in my story and had to look away and take a drink of water, I thought I was going to start dry heaving in front of him. From that day on, if he asked if I wanted to go out, I would either suggest ordering in so I could sit at my desk or just go on my own so I didn't have to deal with that again. It still makes me cringe.

Another pet peeve, once again, I find myself doing. I tend to type a lot of '...'. In the above paragraph, I found myself doing it after each sentence and then erasing them. My boss did that in emails. They would read like this:
Joe... I would like to have a meeting with you tomorrow...

That always made me nervous because the '...', to me, always implied something bad. Instead, I'd get to his office and it would just be a check point meeting, everything all hunky-dory, and here I was, sweating bullets all night long. Ugh.

 

Lol

Crusty mouth lip smacking with shreds of roast beef fiber getting caught between their teeth. The peak of humanity has been reached.

And yeah... My dad types like this... It drives me nuts. The '...' indicates a pause in speaking so it sounds like they are taking long breaks between phrases. Highly annoying. I wonder what makes someone start to type like that?

 

I think we should all get together at a bar and commiserate over this one. It makes people sound so fucking uneducated.

"Yo...my boy seen his girl at the movies with another dude and he aint having that shit." Typical talk I hear on the shop floor at our plant.

 

If you guys hate when people speak like that, I would recommend skipping Hawaii or just staying in Honolulu and Waikiki if you go. We have a "language" called "pidgin" that is just that, shortened terms and vague phrases that the other party somehow knows.

i.e. "He braddah, get da ting ova thea!" "This one" "Nah, da oda one!"

It is easier to explain it verbally rather than textually. The tone and pronunciation is hard to type.

 

Sounds more Jamaican to me... and are you telling me your either in or have been to Hawaii... I'm con-fucked.
