Pet Peeves, yo.

[schlmoe]

Calling anything that is a tiny bit above average "epic". Standing ovations when a celebrity farts or just "shows up". Spending an eternity with Snooki :mrgreen:

New peeve:

The misuse of the term "all natural". So many pics on the 'net of half naked girls with extremely bronze spray tans, giant breast implants, and hair extensions with the caption "omg look at this all natural beauty!"

:roll:

It's the folks who actually believe that that come into my chatroom and call my breasts saggy because they aren't up to my chin. :angry4:

 

[SweepTheLeg]

I don't need your breasts coming up to your chin. My chin on the other hand....

When someone who has never seen me without 1.5 hours or makeup, hair etc says I am natural, natural beauty etc. They'd be pretty disappointed if they saw me "natural" lol.

This. And the way "organic" is thrown around like it has some real meaning (although I realize the government has created a definition with regard to food), even though food loaded with DDT and artificial hormones is still organic in a purely biological sense. "Pure" might have been a better choice for food unsullied with preservatives, added hormone and pesticides.

Look for a stamp that says USDA Certified or whatever. When I was in the states I was shocked how everything was labelled "natural" etc and then it was loaded with high-fructose corn syrup. You guys have some weird rules about food labelling o.o That shit wouldn't fly up here, in order to put organic on the packaging you need to have a certain percent of the ingredients certified.

YAY! Someone who agrees with me on the overuse of that word 'epic'!

I once tried to start a "What's up with the overuse of the term 'epic'?" conversation in my room, but hardly anyone gave a damn...lol. I think they use that word way too much on the Nickelodeon kid shows too. :lol:

 

[Evvie]

People complaining that tiny misuses of grammar or vocabulary are "killing", "destroying", "slaughtering", or "ruining" the language. People who say, "I'm not a grammar Nazi, I'm an educator."

People who are very uneducated about an issue but assume they could do it better than the people who are highly skilled and trained and are specifically handling the project at hand.

"They made a time capsule to be opened 5000 years in the future? That's retarded."
"This is so stupid, why is Bethesda making another stupid ---- game? Nobody buys those anymore."
"I don't understand why Obama just doesn't do ----, it would solve pretty much every single problem anyone is having ever. People in power are idiots."

It's like people don't understand that there are actual adults with their big-kid pants on using critical thinking skills to solve problems. Those obvious problems you thought of within the first thirty seconds? People who know more than you ever will about the topic thought of them too, and then fixed them. Just because you don't know the answer doesn't mean there isn't a solution.

on a slight tangent, people assuming natural means good lol. Bubonic plague is natural, toasters aren't...yet I prefer toasters, I admit it. Natural does mean better in lots of things, but I just find it kind of ironic we spend thousands of years developing culture to the point where most of us have no fear of dying from a harsh winter or dying during a famine after a drought - but immediately assume natural is better

Considering the time of year it may be odd to think of this pet peeve now, but girls who wear sweaters when the temperature is in the 80s.

 

[HarmlessSquirrel]

Considering the time of year it may be odd to think of this pet peeve now, but girls who wear sweaters when the temperature is in the 80s.

It does seem like it would be too warm, although it doesn't bother me since I don't have to wear them, and I like how girls look in sweaters. The same could be said of guys who wear woolen caps in the warm weather and indoors -- doesn't really bother me, but I can't help but think it's odd and looks uncomfortable.

Here's one from me: when did it become standard for everyone to talk about nothing but superheroes? This appears to be a fairly new trend. Suddenly, it seems like I'm the only one around who doesn't know who the fourth member of justice team C on page 17 of a rare comic book from 1953 is. WTF?

The US has no choice. Everything is in imperial measurments.

My pet peeve: that the US refuses to switch to metric. When I asked why we don't, "because that would be too complicated. People wouldn't understand it." WTF?

^^^^THIS^^^^ Who can't understand metric? Teach the kids now and I'm sure most adults can handle the switch.

I think the biggest issue would be the things that are already in imperial and not really having the money to go and change all those things. In reality in the US you would always have to teach both or there would always be some sort of lack of understanding. Some things are old and will be in imperial regardless of whether we make a big switch.

I mean, I was taught the metric system.. Were other US students really not taught the metric system? It's definitely taught to the kids, I don't know where that impression is coming from.

I guess I just don't see the big deal. Different countries have different ways of doing things. I mean, if we want everything to be the same, why don't all the countries on Earth speak one language?

It's sad..... but I feel like society's new "perfect" has become fake...For the majority. The men out there that make those comments talking about ALL natural beauties, that are FAR from all natural, are blinded by fake "perfection" they don't appreciate the women that are indeed natural.... because they see a body that was altered to look nearly perfect(in their opinion)... and to them, the REAL natural bodies don't compare. Let me add.... I COMPLETELY disagree and I'm only referring to those men who make comments about NATURAL breast sagging, like we SOMEHOW defy gravity.

^ actually not really. I'm not a fan of the "kill yourself" type phrase in general. I don't think I've ever said it to someone.

Also, Amber I you. x

Drop in friends who are too intoxicated to take a hint and insist or rehashing the struggles their step daughter is having with her half sister over the estate, (a 1br rented apt full of tweek shit), of their father, a man you have never even fucking met, while the good natured nice guy in you does his best to keep the stressed out perv in you from yelling, "STFU YOU DRUNKEN IDIOT, I WILL NEVER AGAIN HAVE THE CHANCE TO SEE THE MOST AMAZING JJ IN ALL HER GLORY... JESUS MAN IF THE SISTERS KILL EACH OTHER, THEN I MIGHT BE MARGINALLY INTERESTED, BUT ONLY IF THE OUT OF THIS WORLD, BAD ASSED JJ HAS SAID GOOD NIGHT, AND ACTUALLY TURNED OFF HER CAM, AND THEN SIGNED OFF, AND NOT THEN, BUT ONLY UNTIL I HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH THAT I AM SURE SHE IS NOT COMING BACK ON!!!!!

I so much totally agree completely. Epic post Fox. For real though, way over used.

People who ask you what you're doing, pretend to listen to your answer, and the second you finish they say,"oh, that's cool", in a ho hum, if I wasn't making words come out my mouth, I would be yawning right now sort of tone, and then after a tiny pause, say, "you know what I would do", in a snappy, upbeat, this will be the best thing you have ever heard sort of way, that all together means, your thing is shit, and mine is the shit.

Someone who will continue to struggle with something requiring some mechanical dexterity for 10 minutes when they know you could do it, and you have said at least a half a dozen times, "here let me do that".

Someone who insists on trying to help you with something that you don't want any help with, and standing right over you has said at least a half a dozen times, "here let me do that".

Ppl who share with you snippets of conversation they had with someone else that have no special content, no jokes, no valuable info, nothing exciting at all as far as you can tell, but it must have been exciting to them you think, bc of the way they are so animated In telling you. Then a little later they start telling it again bc there is someone else there to tell it to, but this time every time they get to one of the high points they glance over at you as if you are a cheer leader in support of their fucking exciting third person once removed conversation, and now you feel pressured to relive the excitement you never lived the first time around.

Ppl who don't have the balls enough to stop someone who they know is about to subject someone else to their very irritating, not in the least bit exciting story of a conversation they had with someone else, bc, well hell, they had to go through it, why shouldn't you.

And finally, ppl who whine to one set of friends about another set of friends, and become as irritating as the friends they're whining about.
