People Eating Tasty Animals?
Wouldnt that just ensure that you were able to take EVERYONE down with you?
You're trying to use logic while talking about the behaviour of French people?
Honestly, I never did figure out what their problem with me was... Searched me, search my carry-on luggage, inspected my passport, and all kinds of questions.
Thing is that I even had a free ticket since my wife (ex now) was working at Finnair. That still could have had something to do with it. Who knows.

I agree.
#1 - Why fight nature. Humans are predators. Predators eat meat. We have canine teeth for tearing meat and 3D vision or eyes on one side of our head for hunting. Prey usually doesn't have 3D vision and they have eyes on opposite side of their head, generally can't see whats right in front of them without looking to side to side.
Especially #2 Hate the draw on pubes.

It's not fun when the shoe's on the other foot, is it? A little taste of your own medicine. You can sure serve up the snark around here, but the moment you receive some...
There...another pet peeve of mine. People who say douchey things to others, but get all butthurt when they are on the receiving end.

Lets just say on the service side of things there are fringe people; customers or employees that make things suck for either party.
My feet and butt are fine. Really fine, actually. So fine they would make you question yourself.
Did you know, and you probably don't, that shoes used to not me made footed? Left and right was determined by which foot the wearer wore them on.

A theoretical pet peeve is Hooters.... (likely impossible, maybe not.)
If a new manager is obese, and he would start hiring fat hooter chunks, because that's what he likes.
It's nondiscriminatorial, or is it?

Tell me y'all wouldn't, or haven't, at least once. It's okay if you want to answer by PM.
And her face and head really don't match her body. Hmmm...
You're just imagining her in a bear suit...

Frankly, this is what my local Buffalo Wild Wings is doing. The new manager is a large woman. She's hired a lot of large women, to be wait staff, as of lately. The hottie I mentioned several posts back, who has write on pubes (so I think), was written up about her black spandex being too tight.
I usually sit at the bar. When she got me a refill I could tell something was wrong. I asked her what's up. She was really mad about getting written up. I'm like why. She told me....... I almost sprayed a mouthful of Fat Tire as she said why. If I was a little smarter, I would have asked her to turn around and let me see if that's really the case. (Damn too bad I didn't think of that at the time.)
I think her boss is discriminating, its reverse discrimination or fat girl justice. The wait staff has changed but this place has high turn over. Who knows?

I believe Hooters (and other establishments like it - Twin Peaks, Tilted Kilt, etc.) have a physical body type defined in their employment agreement. Memory seems to tell me that years ago, a...larger...woman tried to sue Hooters for not hiring her, claiming discrimination. But because the "Hooters Girls" is a part of the brand identity, they are able to set a standard for what people in that position have to look like.
It's kind of like the Verizon Guy - a year or so ago, I found the contract for that job. It specifies exactly what the guy can and cannot do, and if I remember correctly, it lists physical dimensions (must be within 5'-10" and 6'-2", etc.)

I like the term for these types of establishments "Breastaurants". I think they used to have the same or similar standard for stewardesses, now known as "flight attendants".

I pretty much hate any kind of shopping and despise most shoppers. Tension, frustration sets in, then I develop shopping rage and get an uncontrollable urge to mow people down with my shopping cart.
People dawdle down the center of the aisle walking as slowly as possible and you can't get around them. Then they stop and block the aisle to look at something. They stand there forever and stare at it with a blank look on their face like they're lost in space or something. Sometimes they will move out of your way after you have said, "Excuse me" several times. I usually just back up and turn around only to find more dawdlers in the next aisle or shoppers that think the store is for socializing and ignore your every attempt to get around them.
You finally find an empty aisle only to discover that the last person that was there, ate cabbage for dinner the night before and left toxic fumes. You have to get out of there fast because the smell is enough to gag a maggot and of course you don't want another shopper to come down that aisle and think you did it.
You finally get to the checkstand. The woman in front of you waits until everything has been rung up and bagged, then she starts digging in her purse to find her checkbook and write out a check.
I think stores should have lines painted down the center of the aisles and arrows. All shoppers should "drive" on the right side of the aisle. Shopping carts with horns would be nice too.
I was in Walmart one time with a friend. She has severe shopping rage. It wasn't busy or crowded that day but everytime we tried to look at something, the same woman would wander down the aisle we were in and want to look at the same thing we were looking at. She'd get real close and reach across in front of us. I really don't like having some stranger's armpit in my face.
Anyway, after about the 4th time this woman followed us down another aisle, my friend waited until she got up to us. She let a big loud fart, walked off and left me standing there with this woman.
My friend swears to this day that she did not do that on purpose but I don't believe her. lol

And people who have to discuss each item they've already picked out and taken to the register with the cashier. And they stand there still debating with themselves if they want to buy it. And they rave on like they've made all these exciting discoveries in the store. It's a store. They store things in it. All this crap was put in here on purpose for you to buy. Pay up and move along.
People who buy my kids presents that are either going to make them dirty, have a billion little pieces, or are ridiculously big requiring a lot of storage, without asking me.
No, you shouldn't give my kids a play-doh set. I really don't want to be cleaning bits of play-doh out if my 3 year old's hair, or out of our carpet.
Oh, and while I do like the basketball hoop you got for my 8 year old, you should really ask me before assuming I've got room for it in my backyard.
Unlike the Power Wheels from a few years ago that takes up room in my garage but can never be used because it's impossible to watch all three kids in the front yard but it's too cumbersome to transport and/or use in the backyard. Great. You wasted your money on a toy that goes unused, while also causing fights with my son because he refuses to understand why I don't want to chase our autistic son up and down the street while also trying to make sure he doesn't get run over.

Businesses that don't have websites. No I don't want to come all the way down there just to see that your prices are not better than the one I found online and your inventory sucks. Wastes my time. I'm a guy and by nature an efficient shopper, no time to meander about and browse( except gun stores and LHBS- I will meander about and browse the shiznit out of those!)
I agree.

Draw on pubes? I had no idea such a thing existed, and I've known a whole lot of women (in the blblical sense).
Couldn't find a wolf pelt. It's illegal to kill them here in Finland, so that means I'd need to somehow get one from Russia. Problem is that in Russia, only the local mafia boss is allowed to wear a wolf coat. Anybody else doing so will be seen as a direct challenge to his authority.
Do you know what is the only predator on this planet that will deliberately track down and kill a human being?
