Mamie - from your posts you seem like a wonderful person, and I would love to meet you in person, but I would hate if it came in the form of any of the above behaviors, because they are TRULY annoying. Somehow, though, I get the feeling that you are both aware and considerate enough not to actually do any of these offenses in the manner in which we are bitching about them.

People who use ADD as an excuse to abuse prescription medication or slack at their work.

...Except that if I'm not on medication, I CAN'T do my work. It's not "slacking" if you're physically and psychologically incapable of focusing long enough to get the task done.

I have a lot but I'll only list two for now:

-People who say stuff like, "I'm a nice person, but if you cross me, you better watch out" and "don't make me mad because _____ will happen." I hate stuff like that. Like, oh, you're so big and bad that everybody has to tip-toe around you? Ostracize yourself if you can't deal with the world.

-Not letting down the toilet seat and flushing.

Gah! Behind_the_Spotlight, I am with you! Aside from "ASL?", "brb" and "LOL", I find most Internet lingo maddening. "how ru?" "ru HAWT?" "ru there?"
"kewl" (that one raises my blood pressure). Hatred! Burning, seething hatred!

*dusts self off* Rant over. Talk amongst yourselves.

Alright, here's another one:

People who act as if they are drunk or high all of the time but in reality have no idea what sort of experience that is. Their conception of drunk/high is based only off of movies, but they act this way for years.


And people who say "posers". You people will burn.

When you let someone borrow a book and they either:

Take months to return it.
Crease up the cover.
Leave it lying around on the ground somewhere.
Spill something on it.

If someone is nice enough to let your borrow their things, then you should take care of it. I can't stand it when the cover is ruined.

People who don't push their chairs back in at the end of class, and if I notice I have to do it.

Okay here's another one:

Whenever people leave entire songs as their answering machine messages. It's really annoying and it's always really really bad quality, as if they just held the phone up to the computer or something.

I always call up my friend and, whenever I get his message, it's always the entirety of Eliott Smith's "NEEDLE IN THE HAY".

I don't care what your playlist contains, man! I don't care!

When someone is eating with a fork and scrapes the prongs with their teeth as they take it out of their mouth.

I'm bringing this back like JT tried to bring sexy back.


Another one of my pet peeves is when people post their own reviews of shows under a new thread. People go out of their way to create a whole "Mary Poppins Review Thread" so why do you have the gall to create your own "_______ Review on Mary Poppins" when there are a thousand others you can contribute to? Why are you so high and mighty that you get your own? I'm convinced there are only about 20 or so original threads. Everything else is a copy cat of the other.

I have too many to list, but possibly one of the more weird ones is that I hate it when too many lights are on at the same time. It drives me nuts. I'm not some crazy energy saving person, but I guess I sorta am. I just can't deal w/ too many lights on. I just have to turn some of them off.

[SweetQintheLights]

I also have too many to list but here are just some:

This is one that is weird but not me. ** Someone from my HS couldn’t stand cotton balls. If they saw one, they would scream and run away. It was almost like evil to them. If someone was playing with a cotton ball under their desk or whatever, the person would sense it and run out during class. It was crazy. **

I hate when people think they are sick.. Throwing up 1 or 2 times doesn’t automatically mean you are sick. You may just have an upset stomach. Coughing and sneezing does not mean you are sick- you basically have a cold. I, personally, don’t consider a temperature under 100.5 as ill. I’m pretty dedicated to basically everything I do and I hate to miss class so when I miss class, I’m pretty darn sick. I went to class with 101.5 for three days. Don’t call me after class telling me you missed it because your temperature is 100.00 and your nose is running- you aren’t going to get sympathy from me.

Also, this bothers me so much- People that feel that they need to drink to have fun at parties. I don’t drink at all but I can understand a drink or two. But to get drunk is stupid. The next day, are you going to have memories of the party or throwing your guts up from getting drunk?

I’ve been on a variety of medicine in my life for different things. People tell me that I should get off the medicine and use G/d as my medicine. They think that it’s mind over matter. If they want to use G/d as Advil or any other medicine, go ahead. My medicine works for me. Are they going to use G/d for medicine when they have major surgery and are in pain? More power to them!

Are parents that incompetent of taking care of their kids? If you can’t control your kids, who’s going to? And don’t stick up for your kid when they run someone over in the supermarket while they are on their sneaker skate things. Do people realize that their child is not behaving appropriately? Do people realize that a child having a pacifier at 3 is not normal?

I can't remember if I've posted on this thread before, but I'll post again if I have:

-People who don't close the chip bag. How hard is it to roll up the bag so all the chips don't go stale?
-In the same realm, people who don't close soda bottles all the way.
-Wrinkled magazines. For some reason that drives me crazy.

-Popped collars. WHY? I'm pretty sure polo collars were not made to be propped up.

-Carpet. I just hate the sound it makes, everything about it. Maybe too many rug burns as a child?

-When people say 'man.' Such as "what's up, man?" 'Dude,' too. It sounds very unintelligent.

-Music videos. This is the really weird one. There's just something ridiculous to me in watching artists lip sync to music, and they always look so into it that you just want to smack them.

Sorry, I'm very sleep-deprived. I'm not normally so much of a bitch. Pretty close, but you know.

People who spell the word "definitely" incorrectly. D-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y. There is NO letter "a" in definitely.

People who say "I don't feel good." If you're going to whine to me about your not feeling well, at least do so in a gramatically sound way.

I hate it when people LICK THEIR FINGERS to turn the page in a book or magzine. Makes me never want to touch a public book or magazine. It's so gross.

Another peeve - when someone makes exclamations of horror in public, like when watching a movie or TV show with others. The exclamations of horror are in relationship to maybe a story on child abuse, or on the war, etc. The exclamations are like, "Look at me, I am so much more sympathetic than any of you. I am so moved by these atrocities. I am such a humanitarian. You are all quiet, so that makes me superior."

Another peeve - when someone makes editorial comments about what you (or anyone at the table) is ordering in a restaurant. As if their culinary tastes are so superior.

Exmaples are, "Oh, I don't know why you would order lobster in this restaurant, it's probably no good." FYI, this was said at The Four Seasons in NYC.

"Oh, I hardly ever eat red meat."

"I would never order something like that in a restaurant, I can always eat that at home."

Shut the f--- up!!!

Cruel - you've opened up a can of worms.

I have (or had) alot of intellectual (pseudo-intellectual) snobbish friends, who would never nevah nevah nevah watch an action-adventure type film. Oh, they would pooh pooh anything like James Bond, Bruce Willis, Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves, etc.

When you ask them what James Bond film they hated, they would admit, well, "I've never actually seen one, but I hate that sort of thing."

Now, I would respect their opinion a lot more if they said that they saw Roger Moore in Live and Let Die, and said they hated it. But how can you say you hated Sean Connery in Goldfinger? LOL. Also, I think Alan Rickman gave one of the best on-screen villain performances on film in Die Hard. Hans Gruber. So if you would never lower yourself to watch a Bruce Willis film, then you've missed a real treat and a great performance.

And I'm not a Tom Cruise fan, but I thought his court room drama (can't think of the name, but with Jack Nicholson and Demi Moore) was fantastic.

So, I'm sick of the pseudo-intellectual snob who thinks he's above it all.

Sweetie, the review compilation thread is that of the professional reviews post-opening night. If someone has their own review of a particular show, especially in previews, and they don't write professionally for a specific publication, it makes perfect sense for them to start their own review thread.

1.Waitress who bring your check and you are not even done eating
2.People who turn around in your driveway.
3.Store salesman who keep asking if you need any help (bath &
body works)
4. bosses who ignore your phone call and they are just sitting at their desk.

Why are there 29843 Mary Poppins Review threads? It's unnecessary.
