Pet Peeves, yo.

[DDuckworth]

I heard a lady at a previous job say one day, "the reason I have a lisp is because I have a Southern accent and I try to talk without it."

Why. Why. Why would you do that? What on earth is so wrong with having a Southern accent? Why do you want to have a boring-ass Iowa accent? Seriously. We have the most boring accent on the planet, I can't imagine wanting that. I wish I had an excuse to have a different accent, mine is So boring.

As a southerner myself, I believe I can clearly answer this. Being viewed as having a southern accent in a group of people who have what we americans consider "no accent" instantly makes you viewed as a dumbass, and you have to claw your way out of that stereotype each and every time. I'd like to thank assholes like rick perry and his entire group of friends for creating such a notion, and I am sure it goes much deeper than that, back to the views on slavery and the confederacy and more.

I can tell you now, it is MUCH easier to live without that preconceived notion placed upon you, especially if you live outside of a southern state.

On the other hand, as a young male in my teens, florida girls couldn't get enough of it.

I have had people think I am stupid, just because of my accent before. I am always afraid when a model hears my voice for the first time over Skype.

That's a really interesting viewpoint to me. I've always associated the Southern accent with nice people. I hear it and think "friendly and polite". Not sure what influenced that, but it's the way I've always thought. I think I managed to avoid the brainwashing.

When people try to play me stupid.
I just purchased a new expensive bed for MJ (my dog) and the lady at the register says, "this bed is great! In the long run, it will save you up to $4,000 in vet bills because his bones will feel better." :roll:

Then I go to this restaurant that only serves beer/wine. I order a drink, then order another one shortly after I'm finished. The waitress says, "That's what's great about wine based drinks! You can order as many as you want without getting drunk." The whole point of me drinking alcohol is to get drunk. Your drinks cost the same amount as a drink with higher alcohol percentage so I'm sorry I'm not enthusiastic about spending 4 times as much money to feel a buzz.

I really think the general cost of alcoholic beverages should be based on the percentage of alcohol in the drink.

Dudes(and sadly some women) that act like women are delicate little flowers that aren't capable of being criticized or questioned without having a breakdown. Always coming to rescue the incapable females from the evil men.

When someone says they're gonna meet you somewhere and don't show up or text you that something happened :/

 

[SinSeraTea]

Every single fucking aspect of event planning.

Except the actual event. That is always the bomb.

People who state the obvious as if its a question you need to respond to... I'm just left staring with the "yeah....and?" Look on my face. Reminds me of an Ellen stand up from forever ago where she's at some health food store and some girl says, you have a lot of "toxins built up" and her reply is "what a stupid thing to say to me". My most often(at least daily on and off cam) is " you have a lot of tattoos". ?... To me this is the equivalent of walking up to someone and going.... "You're wearing a red shirt". I just want to gently pat them on the head and say " good job, champ... Now where's your mommy I think you forgot your helmet today"

When cam models are on there phone during there time online. I understand if there family calls and they need to step away from cam for a bit. But when there consistently texting all throughout there show. Grrrr! Drives me nuts.

When I decide to go to a coffeeshop to work on porn stuffs and they don't have any seats that offer an iota of privacy. Because I love my laptop and back being exposed to every person in their. It's even worse when you look around and realize there's not a decent seat in the place.

Coffeeshops, in my opinion, are supposed to be like living rooms. With big overstuffed chairs and little nooks.

I am pretty particular about seating in restaurants. I get anxiety if there are too many people behind me. I like corners.

Ha! The worst case of this was during a Streamate Gold Show... Not only did the model text during her show, she suddenly got up and went to the bathroom to take a whiz.

When your legs go numb from sitting on the toilet too long.

I don't know if it still exists here, what with new laws about smoking, but the best place for private computing but in a public place was a cigar bar we had. Spacious, with cigars, wine, and snacks...all the tables surrounded with overstuffed chairs, many of them for singles. They had giant overhead exhaust fans so it worked for non-smokers too.

Yes, i know my spelling. It's a joke.

When your legs go numb from sitting on the toilet too long.

Even worse, when the toilet' too tall and you're numb within moments of sitting.

There's a classroom on my campus that has really old chairs, like they were bought used back in the 60's. Every time I've had a class in that room they've had an effect similar to what men feel after riding a bicycle with those damn crotch killer seats. Parts go numb that shouldn't ever be going numb. :shock:

Hate that room.

 

[JickyJuly]

When people question my parenting because I choose not to hit or yell things at my children. Yes. They're going to grow into maniacs because I treat them like humans and don't disrespect their personal space/bodies. :? God forbid I try to teach them that no one, including their mommy, has a right to hurt or degrade them.

 

[Jessi]

I really wish there was a dedicated "Who is this model?" thread so the forum wasn't cluttered with those posts
And that the forum automatically detected certain keywords and suggested existing threads to people. Or had "participate in X threads before starting a new one" setting. Not complaints against the forum itself, just the way that people use it without contributing back to the community.

 

[MadisonxJade]

A recently developed pet peeve: When someone doesn't understand my sweet ways of saying "F#$$ Off". I try to drop hints and be polite. Like "No sir, I don't want your phone number." Then he's like "we can just be friends". I feel like I'm being forced into being rude.

My dog pulling his leash while I'm walking him. I have to do these Cesar milan tricks on him for him to stop.

And when people make a statement that they know will cause controversy, but "cleverly" cover themselves by suggesting in advance what your reaction will be. It's all, "nyah nyah, you can't say [this] because I preempted you!"

"yeah, go ahead and call me a pervert because of that ONE goat!"

Even worse are those old one-piece school desks with the writing surface on the right side. If you happen to be left-handed, you essentially have to be a contortionist to use them.

Leftie! :hello2:
I usually sit in one desk and move the one to the left of me close. Put all my stuff in that seat so no one can sit there and that becomes my writing desk.

When one of the microwaves in the break room doesn't work, but they just leave it there. No "out of order" sign, nothing.

I hate when I'm having an anxiety attack over something and someone tells me to calm down. If I knew how to calm down don't you think I'd do it?
