What are your biggest pet peeves?

People who stand abreast on the DOWN escalator... Get out of my way already..

Or when your going up a flight of stairs or any constrictive path and they are walking abreast, totally cockblocking anyone from passing them. Invariably I am forced to interact with them if I want to get by them.

People that don't know how to share house properly; using a dishcloth to wipe the floor, using the dishcloth and not rinsing it out - staining it, not contributing to communal items, stealing food/milk etc, using all the internet d/l quota, not doing any house work etc I could write books.

crows, they make the most blood curdling sounds *shudders* I'm constantly shoeing them out of the tree in my front yard.. I think the neighbours have begun to notice.
crickets, I'm a light sleeper.
people who cough all day and night everywhere they go, buy some robotussin already :S
people that don't cover their mouth or wash hands regularly when they have the flu.
yes tailgaters
creeps that feel the need to take photos of you when you are out at a pub etc without asking thinking you don't notice
websites like 4chan, it's a breeding ground for freaks
ok I'm a bitch I know and people should keep their distance

1. Complaining without doing anything or offering any actual suggestions to improve things.
2. Using your cell phone at the gym, at work, in your car, in bed, or in any other completely inappropriate place. And if I don't answer my phone, I'm usually doing one of the following things, all of which are more important to me than whatever reason you're calling me: working, attending class, working out, showering, sleeping, or having sex. I don't care if you're Blake Lively and you're making a booty call -- leave a message!
3. Using big words just to make yourself sound smart. I have two Ivy League degrees and I don't fucking do this.
4. For the love of God, please do not let me catch you doing this:

The squat rack is for squats, not for curls, people!

People who I dont know touching me. Am I a piece of fruit or something? Trust me, I'm ripe.
Grocery clerks who spend time chatting with their friends, instead of checking them through.
Those who use their left turn signals in left turn only lanes, ( this goes for right turn only lanes also.) I know you are turning left, spare me the signal please) and I hope you are not going to the grocery store.

Chick music.

Out of curiosity, what constitutes chick music?

1) People who are unable to understand that not everyone has the same perspective/viewpoint as them. I know it's maybe a little much to ask for people to be able to understand the perspectives of others, but to not really recognise them at all just horrifies me.

2) When people make categorical statements with no justification.

3) And then when those people get angry when you ask for justification, and say that "It's just common sense". Common sense is pretty much just a name for the opinions that are so ingrained in a person that they don't even recognise that they are opinions. The problem is, they're not common, they're subjective.

4) Movie trailers that give away too much of the film; it can really ruin it for me.

5) People who try to avoid engaging in debate about something by saying "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion". Sure, that's true, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about it, discuss our reasons, and come to a better understanding of the issue by doing so.

Herds of people who dress EXACTLY the same.

1. Take off your uggs

2. Take off your north face

3. Take off your rain boots that have toasters/flowers/frogs/peacocks/whatever the hell else is on those things

4. If your hair is curly. Stop straightening it so often. A crap load of you look beautiful with curly hair...why hide it?

:)

Oooooh and also, when I tell people I have a masters in Philosophy and they say either A) Philosophy eh? What's that for? or B) Oh, philosophy. Well, my philosophy is to grab life by the horns! or C) Really? Cool, that must mean you're really into religion (seriously, I don't know why they think this).

That just made me laugh out loud. Hilarious. The second response they give you is hilarious. (the B one)
