Pet Peeves

What gets on your nerves?

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Is it a Spanish name (as in, Hay-sus)? If so, and they still play around with the name, I'd get strongly annoyed too...
That's his real name, I think, but they nicknamed him Jesus and pronounce it the English version. They went overboard on their playing around with the name. And now I'm still upset over that ](*,)

Ooh, that isn't really nice. And I don't think that's a pet peeve; it's more like mis-using God's name.
My pet peeve: When people call me '13-ish' or add '-ish' to their sentence. ](*,)

I really don't like it when people stare at me. I am so annoyed when they do that. I always stare back. It usually works.

I love staring at people. \:D/ (and creeping out waiters in BoneFish grill. :evillaugh: )

Pet peeves: High schoolers who don't know the difference between South America and Africa. :x Especially the seniors.

I love to stare at people! (Particularly my friends and people I know well.) I'll look directly into their eyes for several seconds. When they return the look, I keep staring for a moment but then slowly turn away. ;) It seems weird, and it might make them feel awkward, but I love looking deep into their eyes. It's even weirder when I do it to females. \:D/ Sue me. :x

My biggest pet peeve is when people do not capitalize their 'I's. It is the most annoying thing that ever existed. I could rant for hours about how annoying it is for me to see people write: "Yeah, i know." Of course, i never tell people that i don't like it when that happens. ;)

A big pet peeve is when supervisors show up late to work... that's the worst and most annoying thing ever.

In church today my mom decided to have our family sit in the row with some new people. Therefore, we were squished in the row, WITH AN ENTIRE EMPTY ROW BEHIND US! I was... ticked. Since the day I was born I've hated being super-close to others in a church pew. :mad: Oh, and if I was new, I'd hate to have people in my row...

Our church is having a "Sacrifice Sunday" where people "sacrifice" for God... but really, the church just wants new carpet, so more offerings are needed. >_>

I dislike sermon outlines where every point begins with a certain letter, topic or acronym. The pastor at our church does it like crazy. At first it was fun to predict each point (like, he's said the "Power of God" and the "Spirit of God", so you know "Word of God" is coming next ;)), but now it's bothersome. Instead of getting deep into God's Word, these sermons go out of their way to be tacky (Return, Rapture, Reign, Renewing, Remedy... anything that starts with "R"). It gets tiring... :-

So yeah... there are my weekly pet peeves. \:D/

The first and last pet peeve really drive me nuts too. When you get out of your way just to make it interesting...I just think it's really lame.
Another pet peeve is when people step on my toes (which happens often) and say nothing about it. Or when people spell Wooton "Wooten".

I hate it when people sing out of tune or out of rhythm. :x

It makes me angry.

I hate it when there are people in show choir--particularly the men, the altos, and the second sopranos--who don't sing their part. I'm like, "Really? He's gone over this, like, a billion times, and you still can't get it? It's not that hard to sing a part and dance." And at this point in every song except from the ballad, whenever I hear, "Where are you, altos?" or something of that nature from my choir director, I just immediately start singing that part, because it's not likely that they're going to. It also bugs me when they're not giving their all in the dance and/or they're not smiling.

Another pet peeve I have (I just love this thread :roll:) is when people capatalize the user 'snubs''s name. So whenever I see, "Snubs makes good graphics," I feel like saying, "It's snubs, not Snubs! Peoples, how often do you NOT get to capitalize a name?"

Ah yes, the rhyming or same letter or acronym thing... we must go to the same church! \:D/

If I were a new person at a church I would feel REALLY uncomfortable if random strangers squeezed into the pew next to me. >_> I would think they were like mad I was in their seat or something. Or just think they were creepy in general. I like my personal space, ESPECIALLY amongst strangers. :boohoo:
