Whats Your Pet Peeves?

[johan]

Please have a ball & RANT to hearts content

(A pet peeve is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to themselves, to a greater degree than others may find it).

I will start with mine (in no particular order):

1. Photos of unopened vape mail: such a photo/s only make sense if the packaging is extraordinary! The rest just gives me serious nappy rash as well as jock rash.

2. Making a wild statement about a person or product without any form of proof and/or validation.

3. The expression: "sick as tits" I even battled to type it out! ... and another one; "it hits hard" when referring to a device with low voltage drop or excellent good conductivity.

4. Incorrect terminology: "chip" This gives me a serious "slap chip" when referring to an electronic module.

I'd actually extend number 3 into any "catchphrase". Party Karate etc included - makes me cringe so hard.

 

[johan]

Oh! another major one for me:

5. Ugly swear words completely spelled out. I'm not a victorian at all and swear myself, and I know this forum is for 18+ only, but somehow I prefer something like this instead; "f@#.

 

[Mike]

Yes. My girlfriend has taken to saying fudge. I told her, "if you have a kid and he says, 'what the fudge is going on?' is that really more acceptable than just saying the real thing?". She now has gone back to swearing when necessary.

Not having time for the forum

People that don't indicate....
Picture frames that aren't straight
People that aren't on time
Anything that resembles a f*****g taxi

Not having time.

And don't tell me to make time. If I could magically make time, I wouldn't be typing this.

@crack2483 hahaha that's crazy man. One of my pet peeves is people saying they don't have time. We all have the same amount of time (in a way), we just choose to spend it differently. My brother always says he's so busy and never has time, but if he's not going scuba diving or doing a photoshoot somewhere, him and his wife are having a "date night". It's one thing to be busy, but to complain that you don't have time because you've decided to keep yourself busy? Nope.

Apologies Mike. I don't actually complain about or say it to anyone (who listens anyway ).

Sorry @crack2483, I didn't mean it like that.. It was more of a relatable issue - I think we all have that friend who is "too busy" or doesn't ever "have time" to do anything. Rather just say no thanks (to me at least, I'm a straight up no BS kinda guy).

I agree with all except "Age" I actually embrace that f#@er as a challenge, and so far I'm winning big time .

Not having a good day today, so the age thing is getting to me. Although come 5 o'clock I will be owning it at the local pub. Age doesn't have a leg to stand on against alcahol (truth be told, neither do I)

Hey sorry to hear about your k@# day, come 5 o'clock the "bad" in your day is history, past tense, and go enjoy - look for the bright side even if you have to put all your effort into that you will see it. PS. Remember: "Pain is temporary, giving up is forever"

Sorry I am bad in giving advice to any people in such circumstances and just hope the bright side of life is just around the next minute in their lives.

Hehe, it's all good, mate. It will pass.

Cheers for the kind words.
