Like, say, baseball caps worn backward. The bill is not meant to cover the back of your neck.

Shecky - I think you and I would get along well.

When I see the backward hats it makes me want to rip it off and stomp on it.

Even worse the people who think its hip to wear your jean-waist line half way down your leg. Like you need to show off the racing stripe in your boxers.

I think you might be me.
If I ever wore my hat backwards, my father would lay into me like there was no tomorrow.
Agree on the low-riding pants. Stupid gangsta wannabes.

What gansta can chase you down with his pants around his ankles.

At least you know he won't have a pistol. It can't be stuffed down his pants. Dumasses...
 
I'd be offended if I didn't bring up legitimate pet peeves.

Like, say, baseball caps worn backward. The bill is not meant to cover the back of your neck.

that's the way i wear mine. the only time i turn it around is when i'm driving cuz i can't rest my head back with the bill.

it looks WAY COOLER that way, man!

actually, i just wear it when i'm having a bad hair day or when my gorgeous locks get in the way as the wind blows through.
 
My pet peeve is snobby people who think they are better than everyone else and that the world should bow to them.

Couple of snotty biddies on a bus in Seattle got worked up because they misunderstood the driver when he said he dropped off on a certain street. They expected to be dropped off at a certain point, but their drop-off was farther down the street. The thing is, the impact on getting to the hotel they were walking to was maybe an extra couple hundred feet.

For reasons I don't quite understand, I like you so I'll overlook every pet peeve of mine you violated in that paragraph.:D

- hat backward? check
- text lingo? check
- trying to be cool? check
- long hair on a man? check (kidding. In high school, my hair touched my shoulders. But it was the 80s. I had an excuse).
 
- Women who are really bratty. I hate it when people pout about things too.

- People who have the inability to use reason and logic in a debate or arguement. I hate it when people resort to stupid remarks when discussing a topic. If I hear someone say "So!" in an arguement again I'm gonna shoot myself.

Ironically this was the initial reason for 'sagging' the pants back in the older gangsta days. (Hence Prison) It was to conceal a weapon stored along your sock or something. Kids saw this as a fashion trend (lord knows why) and it is where it is today.

Remember when idiots were pulling up one pant leg? (Especially with sweat pants) That drove me crazy!! What? Is one leg colder than the other?
:confused:
-Me
 
i used to pull up one pant leg, too. that was for riding my bike so it didn't get caught in the chain. i'm not sure this is what your old friends were doing, tho.

it seems i'm the center of many pet peeves. what else do you guys hate about me? :D

You probably wore leg warmers, too.

- Lack of capitalization. Use your pinky. Shift buttons are just a short click away.

The fact that you have all of these 'so called' beers and we havent been able to drink them! I dont believe you, so why dont you SEND me your beers so I can become a believer! (And stop hating you for pulling up a pant leg) :cross:
-Me
 
If I ever wore my hat backwards, my father would lay into me like there was no tomorrow.

Hmmmm, so childhood issues?

People who ask to "borrow" something that you aren't going to want back. Like "Can I borrow a kleenex?"

Oh I always return them afterwards!

My pet peeve is snobby people who think they are better than everyone else and that the world should bow to them.

And you think you're better than them, huh?

i hate that toO! sentences should always be capitalizeD. at one end or the otheR.
 
At work, they used to call my brother PDF.

Pants Don't Fit.

He's a good kid though.
 
How about when people get into little spats here on HBT? Someone will post some information that but will word it in a way that some might find grating, so that person attacks the original dude because he thinks that person is an arrogant jerk. Sometimes we all need to lighten up and not get so pi$$ed about silly ****, esp when it's someone you've never met.
 
Another pet pEEve

I don't like when my son pees on me during a diaper change. :D

Even worse, he's pooped once before during the clean-up process. He ruined a perfectly clean diaper!!
 
"Can I ask you a question?" - I think that this one bothers me on more of a daily basis than anything. 'Can I ask you a question?' Well guess what? You just did! And guess what else? I dont want to answer any more questions now!
Just get to the point and ask what you want to ask. Dont feel me out before you make the daring move to inquire about something from me. Just pull the trigger and ASK damn it! Whats the worst that I am going to say?
No? Hell No? I dont know?

Ohhhhhhhh..... I get this one at work all the time. IM comes in, "You have a minute for a question?" Well, you know what, I just did but now I'm all out of minutes because I just took the time to answer this. How do you feel about that, nutsack? Next time, just ask me the damn question and I'll answer it when I get a free second.

The cousin of this is, "Can I call you?" Well, that depends... can you dial the phone or do you suffer from some horrible finger disfigurement rendering you unable to dial all but those cell-phones Ed McMahon peddles to old people with buttons the size of a deck of cards?
 
Guys at work that dont wash their hands after pissing or sh*tting, but go to their desk and rub antibacterial goop on their hands. Like they care about germs, but dont give a f*ck about their d*ck juice on the door that we have to feel.

Well, I wash my hands after going to the bathroom as it is socially the correct thing to do, but since I don't piss all over my hands I'd like to point out the following:

1) When I wake up in the morning I take a shower.
2) In the shower I wash my junk.
3) I then put on clean underwear
4) I put clean pants over my clean underwear over my clean junk.
5) I then go out in the world shaking hands with dirty people and touching doors, desks, windows, whatever... with whatever germs people have.
6) When it comes time to take a leak, I reach in with my now dirty hand and pull out my previously clean junk.

With that logic, I'd be better off washing my pecker in the sink rather than my hands after taking a leak.
 
Whiggers: white people who act like they are black.
Wheaners: white people who act like they are latino.

Much like the hat on backwards, sideways or just cockeyed. White people listening to hip hop and/or rap believing that they are "down with that". Get a clue cracker.

Be who you are, not who you ain't.

And Cisco, don't dwell too much on that whole "who's johnson have I been touching" issue. Down that road lies germaphobia, I know some germaphobes. Sometimes a little hard to tolerate. I have two germaphobes on my crew. It becomes competition who be the most germophobic. Or the next time you knock the wifey down and she wants you to kiss the little man in the rowboat....second thoughts at a crucial time like that can be disastrous.

Peace out homeys
 
THIS THREAD.







(Just kidding, sorry!)

For real, my biggest pet peeve, believe it or not, is about women.
I can't stand when women shape their eyebrows poorly. When women shape them so they look like Ronald McDonald it drives me crazy!

If you don't understand, take your two index fingers, curl them into a "C" shape and put them to where your eyebrows would be, it looks ridiculous on women and if you're a woman and your reading this...........I hope I'm not offending you....

Actually you'd be better off washing both hands and pecker. Right?:rockin:
 
When people say "For all intensive purposes..."
-- It should be "For all intents and purposes..."
I don't care how intensive your purposes are.

When people use "Due to the fact…"
-- Unless you're the kind of person that is known for telling one lie after another, just say "Due to...".
Even then, we probably won't believe you.

When people start their sentence with "Basically,..."
-- Just say what you have to say!
It's probably not "basic" after all.

And I'm not a word fascist. I split my infinitives, dangle my participles (from time to time), and have been known to speak not so good.

How about your clear sense of justice and compassion? Constantly trying to find the source of conflict and better understanding the motivations of those whose behavior seems irrational? Using logic and clear thought when many around you are flinging hate and intolerance?

C'mon man, it's much easier to follow the pack than to think for yourself! You'll never be popular that way! ;)
 
I'd be offended if I didn't bring up legitimate pet peeves.

Like, say, baseball caps worn backward. The bill is not meant to cover the back of your neck.

The backward caps don't peeve me nearly as much as when they are worn rakishly to the side without the bill curved! I just want to grab the thing off their head, tear off the sticker and curl the bill into a cylinder!!
 
SWMBO bitches about my time spent on HBT, but will spend a whole night texting people as we watch a movie supposedly together.

actually, i like "for all intent and purposes" ;)

Even then, we probably won't believe you.

due to the fact that evolution does in fact exist, many people are still wandering around in a dreamworld. hmm. i dunno, i don't mind that one either.

well, basically, people that say that just think they are smarter than whoever (whomever?) they are speaking with.

And I'm not a word fascist. I split my infinitives, dangle my participles (from time to time), and have been known to speak not so good.

dude, don't dangle your participles. that's just lewd :D
 
People who replied to this thread to begin with - you have ALL made my list of things that annoy me! ;)
-Me
 
I almost forgot about this. I absolutely hate people touching my food who have no business doing so.

I'm no germo-phobe, I just can't stand people f-ck-ng with my food.

One case that really pissed me off was at a wedding. Its dinner time, salads are served and I have to go break the seal....

... I come back to my table of 8 and everybody put their tomatoes on my salad. It was something like sixteen wedges on top of my salad. They all laughed at my expression when I got back, then got real quite. I was pissed and told the waiter to bring me new salad.

SWMBO said I was being a jerk about it and that I should have picked off the tomatoes. I told her that when she gets her filet mignon we'll all pass it around once like a hot potato and see how she likes it...

SWMBO told me to be quite and drink my wine.... ( I wasn't soused either!)

I can take joke, but frinkin' hate it when people do it with food. :mad:
 
Dear people who say "Warshington" and "liberry",

I have been speaking/readin/writing the English language for just over 26 years now, and I want to issue my concerns with you worthless *****enozzles. There is no goddamned "R" in Washington and libraries are not sweet fruit from a tree, bush, or vine. You have no business placing Rs wherever the **** you like, and it probably wouldn't hurt you to visit a library. Do you realize that speaking like a 3rd grader with an impediment makes you seem like an ignorant ****tard?

In the future, please remove all unnecessary Rs from words like Washington and washing machine, and learn how to pronounce library as if you were an educated adult. I am only trying to help you better yourself.

With love,
Madman

PS: May god strike you down with a firey vengeance is you ignore my heartfelt plea.
 
People at stores that refuse to use the OUT door. Enter on the right, leave on the right.
Don't wait for someone to come in the IN door and then get in their way so they have to hold the door for you before they can go in.

If you do this, please stop. You know who you are.

I should just start going in the OUT door since no one uses it.

Forrest
