Title: PET PEEVES ....POLL Post by jimbo on Jun 9th, 2004, 12:11pm What are some of your biggest pet peeves? Me, I can't stand it when while driving someone has to get into the right lane at a red light before me and is going straight. I have to sit for 2 minutes just to turn right because the jerkoff in front of me doesn't want to be in the left lane (Which is usually empty) Sometimes I could choke these friggen idiots! I also love it while talking to someone they say "Can I axe you a question?" or "What's your date of birf?" What the hell happened to the English language? Seeya, Jimbo |

Title: Re: PET PEEVES ....POLL Post by ExplodingEyeBall on Jun 9th, 2004, 12:23pm I get pissed by people who can't figure out what the center left turn lane is for. They come almost to a complete stop in the left lane to turn left and then finally make the turn after everyone behind them has locked up their brakes. And how about people on the highway who stay in the left lane and then at the last secon decide that they need to turn off? They then proceed to cut across 3 lanes of traffic and see how many cars and trucks they can get to turn sideways. People who talk on their cell phone when they are driving should be euthanized unless they can learn how to PAY ATTENTION!!!! How about lazy bastards who have handicapped license plates because they are old or have arthritis. They get the prime parking spots and then get out and casually walk into the store. My Mother in law is a paraplegic and refused to use handicapped parking spots because she would have to fight the lazy slobs to get to them. I am also irritated by people who butcher the English language when they try to speak it. I'm pretty sure that ALL telemarketers and bill collecters now use the same person to make all of the phone calls for them. I usually tell her that she will have to speak English if she wan't s any answers out of me. The reply is usually something like 'I iys speakin eynlish" Another peeve ... Rappers who call themselves musicians. I don't think I've seen or heard one rapper yet that can actually play an instrument. The extent of their talent is finding a good old classic song to take a sample of so they can talk shit to it as fast as they can for 5 minutes while flashing as many gang signs as possible and showing off how much they can spend on stupid looking jewelry. Can ya tell I had a bad one last night and I'm not in a very good mood??? I could keep going all day but I need to get to work. Pat |

Title: Re: PET PEEVES ....POLL Post by Jeepgun on Jun 9th, 2004, 12:26pm Ebonics pisses me off to no end. I refuse to speak to a telemarketer if they talk that fucking garbage. People yacking on cellphones and weaving down the freeway at 75mph, not bothering to use turn signals or even be halfway observant. Inconsiderate people. Weak people who refuse to accept responsibility for themselves and their actions, expect a handout, and expect the government to babysit them, raise their kids, and award them wealth in frivolous lawsuits. People who whine and complain in airports. People who don't control their loinfruit in restaurants or other places like theaters. Telemarketers People who allow their pets to become their neighbors' problem. |

Title: Re: PET PEEVES ....POLL Post by ExplodingEyeBall on Jun 9th, 2004, 12:41pm I forgot to mention the way that Microsoft make all of their products as insecure as they possibly can. I am responsible for security on over 250 public computer systems for the County Library and Microsoft products are my biggest head ache. Congratulations to Microsoft. You are now listed just under CHs as the biggest head ache that can be had. Don't get me wrong. If it weren't for how much Microsoft sucks, I wouldn't have much to do here besides write custom software and fix hardware problems. I also would have no side work at all except for the few custom computer systems I build. Did I mention that life sucks today? 1 big one last night and almost constant phantoms for the last 2 weeks. Just shoot me now. If I think of anything else that pisses me off, I'll be back. BTW... I'm one of the whiners today. Please forgive me. Pat |

Title: Re: PET PEEVES ....POLL Post by Gator on Jun 9th, 2004, 3:16pm I'm working on my 3rd attack of the day and it's only 14:00. O2 ain't cutting it. I just popped a Zomig NS about 2 hours ago, so I hate to do another one so soon. So it hasn't been a real peachy F'n day for me either. Sheesh, you asked for it. 1. People that pay no attention to construction warning signs and can't manage to get over before the lane actually closes: I was driving to Louisiana on I20 around Tyler, TX there were signs Left Lane Closed 13 Miles ahead and warnings every so often after that. With 13 miles of warning there were jerkoffs who waited until the last minute to try to get over. Took 3 hours to get through that construction zone because of pricks trying to get that extra 20 feet (sorry Jimmi_B) ahead of everyone else. If you see a sign saying the lane is closed ahead - GET THE F#@K OVER 2. People that just have to come from behind me and pass me to stop in front of me and make a turn. 3. Parents that don't discipline their kids 4. Healthy strong people capable of work on welfare. 5. Baby factory welfare mothers 6. Tailgaters - the louder they honk, the slower I go. In a rush? Leave earlier next time a$Shole. 7. People who won't turn right on red, even when there is no other f'n tracffic on the road. 8. Yes, people who either stop at the end of an on-ramp before merging or people who just drive out into traffic without trying to merge and they just expect you to get over or stop for them. 9. People listening to their music 10 decibels over the pain threshold in their cars so loud you can't hear your music in your car. HEY AS$HOLE! If I wanted to listen to your music, I would have bought the F'n CD! 10. People who don't put anti-virus on their systems and then open every attachment they receive, then expecting you to be able to make it all work without reformatting and reloading and without losing any data. 11. People with IMPORTANT data on their systems who don't back it up and then expect you to recover data from a drive that won't even spin up. I had an accountant who lost 11 years worth of data because he never backed it up. Ba$tard then threatened to sue me because I couldn't recover it. I told him to go pi$$ up a rope. Even the hard drive manufacturers will not guarantee your data. They explicitly tell you to BACK UP YOUR DATA. He ended up sending the drive off to one of those data recovery services. He learned a VERY expensive lesson. Sorry, I'll stop now before I write ANOTHER novel. Gator OUCH!!!!! |

Title: Re: PET PEEVES ....POLL Post by Jeepgun on Jun 9th, 2004, 3:40pm In truth, I despise about 75% of all children, 90% of all dogs, 95% of all people between the ages of 16 and 65, 95% of motorcycle riders, 95% of all the tripe that Disney puts out, and 100% of anything to do with Walmart, and people who buy the biggest SUV with monster 4x4 capabilities just because it sits higher, and who will NEVER EVER take them off-road and don't know how to drive them worth a shit. That pretty much covers it. I hate ricers, rednecks, people with no self-control or discipline, and people who think that the world revolves around them. I hate the new crop of "musicians" like Britney Spears, Justin Timbercrank, Eminem, and the horrendous shit that passes for music now. I hate spammers, virus creators, politicians, conspiracy theorists, and those a$$holes in Nigeria who keep asking me to be their partner to get some dead a$$hole's money out of some frozen account.

Title: Re: PET PEEVES ....POLL Post by Kevin_M on Jun 9th, 2004, 10:11pm I started making an effort to always use my turn signal on every turn and every lane change because of people pissing me off. I started in '97 and it took years of forgetting to use it and then leaving it on when I made a lane change 20 miles back. Years. Now I am good at it. It is very useful and most people are considerate when you use it properly. Tip: when turning off a busy street, I usually hit the blinker about a block (150 ft) before your turn off, to give the guy behind you time to switch lanes if he wants to go around and pass. I bitch a little less now. Seeing drivers who were courteous and made a good example was what made me do it. I have to admit, there were very few though. Kevin M |

Jesus, use your fuckin brain and speak to me like a person. - Parents who can't control their children in public. Before I actually had kids, I used to think it was the kids I hated, but it's the parents. - People who flick cigarettes from their car. We have so many fires caused by this. People who do that are fucking morons. Cigarettes actually have chemicals in them to keep them burning, so it's quite easy for them to blow several hundred feet to some nice kindling. If you do this, use your brain and use an ashtray. - People who bitch about government but don't vote. Shut the fuck up if you won't use your right to vote. - My ex wife. God I hate her. Taught my kids way more than they ever needed to know about drug and alcohol addiction, and what kind of person it turns you into. They shouldn't know that shit. - stupid laws. we got plenty of em. - major pet peeve, people who are late to meetings. I've had people fired over this. Have some respect. - insurance companies who weasel out of every charge, but raise rates every year. dang, if I keep going I'm going to fill those 40 pages. I'll stop now and take a big breath.

Hey Fu! I resemble that remark - NOT!!! Actually, I worked for a major manufacturer of computer parts as a tech support agent. When I first applied for the job, we had to really know computers, operating systems and have in depth technical knowledge about computers. We had to demonstrate that knowledge and pass a test. Now they hire people that can type fast and read a script to a customer. No computer aptitude test. No demonstration of their knowledge. Man that fries my gizzard. Those morons make real tech support people look bad. We used to be allowed to spend enough time with customers to really diagnose the problem and then give the caller a workable solution and even walk them through it if need be. Someone got a bug up his a$s about call times and now the agents are REQUIRED to read the scripts or point the caller to a knowledge base article and get the caller off the phone. No more in depth troubleshooting. No more walking them through the procedure. Just figure it out quick and read the script and get the caller off the phone. Just before I was put on medical leave, we had a 7 minute call time goal/requirement. Huh? Hell, sometimes it takes 7 minutes just to figure out what product the moron customer bought because he or she can't remember, threw away the box and the documentation and isn't savy enough with their system to find out. I worked with a customer that had been having problems with his speakers for 4 months. He had called several times and had done everything from uninstalling and re-installing the sound card to unloading and reloading the mulitmedia subsystem of windows. Turns out he had the speakers plugged into the wrong jacks. Yes, if he had been smart enough to RTFD he could have done it right the first time, but at this point that was no longer the point. He was pissed, I was livid. He loved me, but hated the fact that something so simple took so long to fix. I apologized to the caller and wrote out a report on the incident to try and show how the (at the time) 9 minute requirement was screwing up customer service and was basically told to shut up and read the script. The goal was later lowered to 8, then 7 minues. So I guess I also hate: 1. People who don't know what parts are in their own computer. 2. People who don't read the instructions before calling tech support. 3. Managers more worried about call times than customer service. 4. Computer tech support people who don't know anything about computers that just read scripts. Damn, there I go again! Gator |

Title: Re: PET PEEVES ....POLL Post by Jayne on Jun 10th, 2004, 7:31pm I think my #1 peeve is, When people talk AT me and not with me. I don't understand how some people can carry on yammering even when my eyes glaze over and I am just about to sink into a deep coma, saying "hhm" ,"ahh" " you don't say". I think it's really rude that they don't get the hint that my attention has been tapped out. Silence is so underated. |

Title: Re: PET PEEVES ....POLL Post by echo on Jun 14th, 2004, 10:13am Just had to add one: Early twenties male and female bar partons. All the guys seem to buy the same design of shirt and roll up the sleeve one turn. So much for being an individual. The femals with their "Paris Hilton" type skirt, low enought to show that they are wearing thong undies, short top with the belly and belly rings exposed. Only a small percentage can pull it off. The rest should realize that their stomach sticking out futher than their breasts is a turn off. Bar is so noisey you can't hear the person next to you and they sit and scream at their phones. Had to leave before there was a homocide. |

I think I may have offended some people with this. If you are offended by this, I apologize. If you sincerely need the spot because of your arthritis or any other debilitating pain that makes walking a nightmare then by all means use the spot. These are NOT the people I was referring to. I'm talking about people who look for an excuse to get these plates because they are to damn lazy to walk or find another parking spot. My main peeve here was the guy who had handicapped plates and used to park in the very 1st spot at the South Shore train station every morning. This guy was in his early 20s and in good health but for some reasons had the plates on his car. After getting to Chicago, I would catch a cab and eventually see this guy walking down Michigan Avenue to his job. He abused the fact that a relative probably needed these plates for legitimate reasons and he was the person who drove them from point a to point b. My Mother in law said that a good way to stop the abuse would be to put the handicapped spots at the far end of the parking lot. Lazy people would quit using them and the people who really need them would still have access to them. The main reason that handicapped spaces were created in the first place is NOT to have really close parking spots. It was because these spaces are extra wide to accomodate wheel chairs, walkers, etc... Again... I apologize to anyone who I offended with my remarks. I'm sure it won't be the last time people get pissed off by something I said. Pat |

Title: Re: PET PEEVES ....POLL Post by BobG on Jun 14th, 2004, 9:00pm Something that really pisses me off is the way the word 'retards' is used on this board. It is used in place of not a very nice person, dumbshit, molesters, drunks, politicians, bad doctors and all round rotten people. These are not retarded people. I have a nephew that is a Downs child and is truly retarded. He is the most loving, giving and caring person I know. He would never do anything to harm anyone or any living thing. He puts 110% into everything he does and that includes learning and loving others. I also have a neighbor that has a retarded child. The child wasn't born retarded. Doctors fucked her up. She is also a loving, caring, beautiful little girl. I would rather be with those two kids than about 50% of the people I've met in my life. This is not an attack on Ueli's post. I've wanted to say this for a long time. And now is the time. Please find a new word to describe the slime we deal with daily. |

I told him I wasn't interested, and that was that. People that shake my hand and won't let go? I jerk my hand back. The other thing that pisses me off, is people who touch me without any respect for my personal space or boundaries. i.e. The stranger who comes up and claps a hand on my shoulder, etc. People that walk up behind me and do that are sooooo on the verge of getting my elbow slammed into their mouth...

No, you obviously don't know you pubescent, know-it-all, little schithead! Seems the older my teenagers get, the dumber I get. I tell my teens that I wish I was a teenager again so I could know everything.

Title: Re: PET PEEVES ....POLL Post by purpleydog on Jun 15th, 2004, 6:09pm Exploding Eye, the guy with the handicapped plate is probably driving his mom's car. I used to work at a place that had 12 handicapped spaces over 3 rows, the first 4 spots. One guy used to come in every day and bitch loudly about not being able to park there. Well, he got his wish He fell off a roof and was paralyzed from the waist down. He can sure park there now! I hate spider webs too and have walked into them while walking down the street. I now carry a spider stick [smiley=laugh.gif] and clear the webs. One more thing on the handicapped parking. My neighbors have a teenage boy with cerebal palsy, He weighs about 135 lbs and cannot walk, he has to use a wheelchair. They were at a store one day with him parked in a handicapped spot and when they came out, a local television crew van was parked in the striped area next to my neighbors van which is part of the spot my neighbors were in, for wheelchairs to exit and enter the van. His father, Scott, had to lift Ryan out of the wheelchair and try to sqeeze in between the vans and get him in their van and on a seat. Brenda, the mom, wrote a letter to the editor of the newspaper bringing this incident to attention and criticizing the tv station. Can you believe the local television station wrote back saying they were within their rights (WTF?) to park there? Of course letters flew back and forth but the tv station never did apologize. If anyone has handicapped plates or a placard to hang in the window, more power to them, I say. It's not like I can park there anyway. Another peeve is when vendor reps come in where I work and try to brush me off when I ask them a product related question because I'm a girl. And some women and some guys who come in and ask if there's a MAN they can talk to. Yes, you can talk to the part time kid, but he can't tell you what he doesn't know. lol Well, sorry this is so long... purpleydog |
