Pet Peeves

[Aru Sakayama]

Pretty much the "we're gonna punish all of you just because a few students was a jerk off".

Quoted for truth.

Just recently, all male students at my school lost numerous privileges all because one person (assumed a boy considering that boys can aim their piss) pissed all over our newly installed bathrooms. Even the girl's bathroom, one way or another, had piss all over the wall.

Jackasses that send a sincere MASS text messages of holiday wishes......bitches....
I should really get an unlim text plan....

;D
I was thinking about being nice and sending a few to most of the people on my address book, I suppose one of them being you... >:D

When you buy something that is brand new and it doesn't work. Freaking RB2's Wii Drum set doesn't turn on. ;.;

SADNESS!

[ewu]

Kinda OT: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/28/business/28digi.html?_r=1

Don't text me cuz I won't pay for 1) them to rip me off and 2) you to send a useless holiday greeting to me.....

Maybe not so OT afterall....

My bad knee is acting up real bad. T___T
I hope it's just the weather this time. It's having issues bending. @_@

[SOawesomeness]

When people say they need band members but don't input their FC. D:L
They don't expect a long response. D:<

[XpHoBiaX]

Going through a lot of trouble to get a "Butt Can" for people to throw their ciggarettes, roaches, cigars, ciggarrillos in....AND THEY STILL DON'T USE IT!

I ended up throwing the 5 gallon bucket at one of the people I work with. >:/

:(
My temper finally sparking off in sporradic, uncontrolled bursts. T___T

How there's no concrete definition for the word 'weeaboo'. One definition I've seen is that anyone who has even the slightest liking of Japanese language, culture, and media is a weeaboo (which would be about 98% of this forum). The definition that I learned was that anyone who has an unnatural obsession over anything Japanese is a weeaboo.

Not that it matters anymore, because no matter how many people call me a weeaboo regardless of definition, it will not discourage me from learning the Japanese language and its culture.

I hate it when words change their meanings or get a new meaning, and i have to learn the new meaning the hard way.
What's next, television is gonna be a verb involving the breaking of back bones or something? XD

[SOawesomeness]

When electronics don't have more sensitive adjustment thingies for brightness and sound.

I hate it when I have earphones on and the volume is at 1 but it sounds like 10 at times.
And lights on my laptop is at 1 but it feels like its at 5. =.= D:<

Digital T.V. artifacting.  Drives me up the wall.

[Runewitt]

guys who pretend to be sick so they wont have to go to work, then show up there expecting to get freebies and paychecks.

[RaddaX2]

When my friends expect me to drive them everywhere just because I'm the only one who drives, or make plans to go somewhere far without consulting me (their only means of getting there) then get all surprised when I say no.

[Jun-Watarase]

When people use the term "moe" to describe anything anime that they like, despite it being nowhere remotely moe. lololol omg gurren lagann is so moe!

When people compare anything that resembles an RPG with "Wow, that looks like it is from Final Fantasy!!!"

When UFO catchers put things up in display stacked up on the very back of the machine when they're not what you're able to actually get from that UFO catcher.

When you line up to pay for a ticket at a train station and your bill doesn't work by the time you get there. :|

A weeaboo is someone who, despite not being Japanese, either thinks they are, or tries to be/act Japanese.

For example, someone who unwarrantably uses Japanese words in normal conversation, when there's an English equivalent of the word their using.  Another example is someone who likes things for no other reason than the fact that it's Japanese.

Also, my pet peeve is Weeaboos.

[Jun-Watarase]

As much as weeaboos themselves are horrendously irritating, in turn, it's also irritating that liking anything remotely Japanese or have preferred anything Japanese is enough to warrant being labeled a weeaboo.

There is much truth to this statement.

This annoys me:

When people go out to by iPods or other MP3 devices, the look for how many songs the thing can hold instead of the actual amount of hard drive capacity the thing has. The "x' number of songs is just an estimate based on song length and the quality it was encoded into. That number is more misleading than the amount of Gigs it lists on the packaging.

This really irritates me:

At the store I work at, we do not do exchanges in most circumstances. It has to be a ligit reason, such as a miss matched pair of boots. But then you have to have the reciept and the item has to be in it's Original condition. You bought something and it turns out you didn't need it? Sorry, all sales are final. This return policy is posted throughout the store ESPECIALLY on the check out counter. It's especially infuriating when they come a week later and it's one of the busiest days in our Shopping season, and they DEMAND a refund. It ain't happening.

On that note, I really hate it when a person knocks on the front door wanting to look around when we closed A HALF HOUR AGO. You had the whole day. Not my problem.

While were on the subject, don't ask me for a discount unless you have a really good reason, buying in bulk, or I'm friends with you. I got someone that wanted "I don't want to pay $20". He ended up leaving. I'm not going to risk losing my job just to get you a great deal.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF:

Spamming memes in real life, at cons.

[SOawesomeness]

Stress. I can't deal with it well... last time I had a major bout of stress, my whole entire body broke out in allergic rashes. Fun stuff.

And I'm getting stressed out again. o: And I know I don't need to be cos everything is hella chill, my body is just fsking crazy like that. D:<

I hate having to take like, St. John's Wort, tums, and Advil in the span of a day. Totally not fun.

And anemia. Guh, I hate anemia. =.=

Its always amusing watching some moron eating Ramune, sushi and OMG PAWky.

They always offer me some, and I turn it down because I dont like any of the above and there response its always " OMG!1!1 your eeeevil"


A huge pet peeve is collage students ( anyone really) not taking responsitbility for their own actions, or generally behaving like children.

Right now Im listening to a 20-some year old student bitch at the woman in charge of the computer lab because she cannot log onto the computers.

The woman explained " you cant log on until tuition is paid"

For the past ten minutes she has been arguing  'well this class takes longer to be paid for".

Is that the computer labs fault? No.
Can the woman in charge fix it? No.
Is there any reason she should give you special treatment? No.
Is standing there whining going to fix it? No.

You know, a baby sitter is much cheaper she ( and many other studenst) should look into that.

This is one of many, maaaany similar cases.

[Jun-Watarase]

Yeah, uh... I'm pretty sure I've said this, but I felt the need to say it again.

Pet peeve: Identical nonconformists.

People who reject what they believe to be common to surpass conformity and reassure themselves that they are unique. People just seem to place so much value in individuality, and react to trends and anything remotely mainstream by trying to do the complete opposite... when plenty of other people do the same exact thing. People who proclaim things like, "Well, I'm different from everyone else..." when infact, they aren't. People who make themselves and others ashamed of what they like, because of reasons driven from their need to run away or be a part of conformity. The insanity of it all, despite the logic of "there is no individuality" and accepting that people are who they are because of how they react to the circumstances.

Though, despite it being a pet peeve, I probably wouldn't change it. It's just how things are.

I still find it irritating, for some reason, when people say things like "I am a huge nerd". Why. Who the hell cares. It's even more irritating, albeit a bit sexist, when a girl says it for the sake of flaunting some sort of redeeming appeal they feel they may have. For the sake of "being one of the guys" or "being unique". When a guy buys into it and says "WHOA, THIS GIRL PLAYS VIDEOGAMES!" and jizzes in his pants.

Man, I hate you people. ww
