one of the only clocks we have in our house is the one on my microwave. that's what i primarily use to check time.

that being said, i hate when some one uses the microwave and pauses it to take their food out and doesn't clear the timer so you can see the frickin time. then i have to get up and do it.

sometimes it'll even be at :01... what is the point of pausing the microwave if there's only ONE second to cook left! YOUR FOOD'S ALREADY BURNED!!! and clear that stupid thing! :angry:  :angry:  :angry:

when people (including me =3 ) say or mean to do something and don't do it.  It's so easy to have a big mouth or mean well, but it doesn't mean crud in the end if you don't actually do something about it.  Whether it's something as small as putting things in the dishwasher instead of the sink or something as large as changing aspects of your life or personality, failing to actually succeed in doing them irks me to my core.

"I should really stop smoking" -> THEN FRIGGING STOP OR SHUSH!!! NO POINT IN LAMENTING IF YOU DON'T MEAN TO CHANGE....

jees I feel good ranting about that kind of stuff ^^

I hate people that post on forums, take the time to sign up, think of a topic, and write it out... but can't be bothered to use 'you' 'for', or any sort of proper english or respect for the rules of the language... god if I ran a forum using 'u' as 'you' would get you banned right away.

Why not just censor the letter 'u' with 'you'? Wait, I know the answer to that... it woyould make it terrible difficyoult to actyoually write something meaningfyoul.

I hate my alarm clock since it makes an incredibly irritating noise; I always have to reset the damn thing when the power goes out (or someone stupid unplugs it) -- this is very annoying. I also somewhat dislike people that can't write complete sentences on forums for some reason. But most of all, I hate "Pet Peeve" threads :p. Just kiddin' of course.

I hate it when people take a game and use cheats or alterations to make it easier; the reason it wasn't easy is to make it challenging!!!  If it was actually somewhat difficult then when you get to the final outcome you feel like you've accomplished something.
This goes tripley-true for multiplayer games, especially when you want to show friends something... it's like someone just scribbled graffiti over it and ran away with the best parts (the first PSO offline demo was a great example; no multiplayer and worst of all it had invincibility on so you couldn't even be hit o.O  How the heck would that make anyone want to play the full version?)

you could censor out " u " (with the spaces before and after) and replace it with " you ". That way, it only replaces the word u, and not u's in the middle of words.

Then yoyou woyouldn't have to talk like this :p

Actually, if it were just the letter u, there is the chance that it wouldn't do stuff like "woyould" I think it would just loop infinitely since you has a u in it.. instead of "woyould" you would have "woyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyo..."

1. improper grammar (except capitalization at the beginning of sentences.)
2. My sister's singing.  You have not experienced hell until you've heard it.  She never stops, either.
3. The microwave timer thing.

knowing the nubcaeks that use that kind of language, there are bound to be spacing mistakes. so you get "id like to killu" which is even worse because you actually have to decypher the message to read it.

People who call others "bad people" or view themselves as holier than all who don't live their lives the same way as they do. My stepmom and grandparents treat me like this all the time :(

People who try to force their way of life on you is whack as well.

Ball mice.

A pet peeve: People who say "Humanity should just be exterminated, it's better that way." (And all variations thereof.)

Fine, so you have emotional problems. What an easy way out: It's not you there's something wrong with, it's the entire human race. Oh-ho-ho! Frankly, if that's your attitude, lead the way and blow your brains out, [expletitive].

    [/li][li] "Txt Spk".... I can understand why you'd do it on a cell phone since you only have a limited space to type your message, but on the internet when you have all the time in the world, it just makes you look damned lazy. People might argue for doing it on IRC, but... er.... SHUT UP. I can type as fast using whole words. It's not exactly difficult.

    [/li]
I totally agree, people are just lazy, and I must admit, i'm lazy too, but jeebus crist! its just another freakin letter or two.  I mean, you might as well be typing a bnch of lttrs lke this or maybe you should just not talk, or speak in abv.! HF! (how fun). I can understand leaving a"g" off of the end of present progressive verb (like running to runnin) because thats dialect, hell, i even do that. But when you start leaving letters out of words that should be there and don't even look right without them, that pisses me off.

God! sorry... ranting is fun :p

Noting really annoys me out in my personal life, but in NS i REALLY EXTREMLY POSATIVLY HATE players who always end a flame or a sentence to try and prove something by adding in kthnx at the end, it makes them sound like (female dog)y and like a stuck up girl, it also sounds like there trying to "put u down" even tho over the internet i really dont find it offensive, but really funny. and people who say it makes me really wish they lived by me so i can punch thier pathetic immature face in to make sure they wont be getting any girls and or guys <_<

and a certain someone did that to me not too long ago, but i kept my cool because i like LM and dont wanna get bant from it o_O or else my ns gaming will prob halt

Pfft, i'm positive you've heard me over voice comms. If i am a girl, i'm a girl with a husky voice. :D

And i do a bit of sound really. I've had a buggerload of experience live mixing and some recording experience. I used to work in a theatre doing lighting and sound, so it helps to know. Other than that i'm a vocalist in a hardcore / metalcore band, play a stupid amount of instruments (well, used to), have attended music school in the past and i make ambient, noise and electronic dance music. :D

- going backwards to sit on the toilet, only to discover that the seat is down(this is espicially bad in the mornings, actually i think it only happens in the mornings)

- people who ask for helps, but when you try to help them you get no progress at all because they don't understand anything - and they kinda expect that you can just "*pow* teach me".

I think that could just be summed up as "-Dumb people.".

But yeah, that's another pet peeve of mine.

  • Kids.

  • People that claim to "hack" or "crack" and have only achieved in accidently finiding a password to some obscure site, and then claim to be thirteenthirtyseven.

  • People that say "When i was younger..." and are only just passed puberty.

  • People that don't listen to my opinion when i clearly know more than them. I know this one sounds pretty arrogant, but when it comes down to certain things i do know more than a lot of people, one such thing is web design. I get annoyed when people don't listen to my clear, thought out, honest and actually sensible critique. For those of you who know my website critiques on the NS forums, you'll see what i mean. I don't type out huge essays taking apart websites for the fun of it you know. :)

  • Other people being lazy. I'm lazy myself, half the time i can't be bothered to do something for myself, why the hell would i do something because someone else is too lazy to do it themselves?

Those are all exactly the same as mine :ph34r:
