Pet Peeves
8/10/2006 | G8 Diplomat

Posted on 08/10/2006 11:55:18 AM PDT by G8 Diplomat

Here's the place to post your pet peeves! Here are mine:


1. Liberals, lawyers, hypocrites, etc...wait, this list is getting redundant!


2. People who pronounce water as "wooter" and wash as "warsh", and strength/length as "strenth/lenth". So basically, people with Baltimore accents


3. Walking down a crowded hallway in school and the idiot in front of you stops and turns around


4. When people refer to the Czech Republic as just "Czech", or say "Slovakian" instead of the correct adjective, Slovak


5. Alarm clocks


6. People who whine. Oh wait, I already said liberals


7. Anti-war whackos, animal rights whackos, enviro-whackos...


8. School pictures


9. When my mom drags me off to visit her cousins and everyone always says "Oh, look how much you've grown!" Geez that is annoying...


10. Little dogs

Similarly, kanji (Japanese) tattoos. Or kanji on shirts. Unless you're sure you know what it means.

My favorite tattoo story *ever*.

"Friends" who talk down to you and gossip behind your back.

Dallas Cowboys fans who are not from the DFW area.

Ouch!

I grew up in New England and became a fan of the Cowboy's because they were always on TV (Staubach, Golden Richards, Robert Newhouse era). What was my other choice...the friggin' Patriots?

Go Big D!

Ask as question of someone and it's like they never heard a word and begin telling you some story but never answering your question.

Did you not hear me? That is not what I asked you!

I meant the Patriots teams of the 70's. Be honest, what would you rather watch, a rivalry game between Dallas and Washington with Staubach versus Theisman or a game between Steve Grogan and Bert Jones or even worse the Jets (for the life of me I can't even remember their quarterbacks during that decade.....

May I add 'grow your business' to that list?

Also, painful malapropisms that are never caught (by the speaker) and used over and over. 'Flying by the skin of my teeth,' for example, courtesy of my office.

You could root for the Steelers, like all decent and honorable folks. :-)

You would say that.

You need to think outside of the box.

Absolutely priceless. Falls under my general peeve of people who think something's cool without knowing anything about it ... so embarrassment resulting from that always amuses me.
