Peeve: Tripping

Yeah, it happenes. But it's annoying, and it hurts sometimes. It also makes you look like a fool.

Right you are, my ace in the hole.
I hate tripping. And, I also hate getting blamed for someone else tripping.

You mean people say "Nice jorb, iKi! You made me trip!", or something like that? That sucks.

The only thing worse than tripping? Tripping down stairs. Not a fun expirience.

And the only thing worse than that is tripping on the stairs, flipping forward, and riding your face all the way down. That happened to me this morning. My nose is still bleeding.

Oh... No! Do you want to know whats worse than falling on something? Something falling on you. I dropped a rock on my left hand yesterday. Like a 2ft by 1ft sized rock. I can't really type proberly and taht explains my typos. It hurts to capitalize because I have to put my left hand on that ^ button that makes caps.

That leads me to another peeve. Nosebleeds. Not the ones that you get from an injury, but the spontaneous ones. They're very annoying, although they're extremely rare in my case.

I've only ever had one nosebleed. It was back when I was like 6 and picked my nose to much. (I know. Gross)

Ooh! I've got one.

Extremely small mouses. How hard is it to lug around a regular sized mouse? I hate them so much.

You mean a mouse as in a rodent, or a mouse as in a computer mouse?

I'm assuming you mean the latter, but I just want to be sure.

Nah, I'm sure it's the former. I know I carry around a squeaker all the time. As for my pet peeve, on my lappy I can't do the middle click for Mozilla. I have to right click and select open in new tab....yarr.....

Argle.
I hate it when people tell me how fast I eat. I DO eat tremendously fast, and if the person says it once, I guess it's okay. But, there are some people, who, in what seems like EVERY meal I eat with them, have to comment, or suggest about how fast I eat. And it just bothers me.

Yeah, I know. And this kid I know, when I am eating with him at the table, he'll always look over at my plate, and the say "DANG!!" just loud enough for everyone else in the room to hear. Thanks.

I eat really fast too, iki. I had a friend tell me once, "Amy, you don't eat much, but what you do eat, you consume like someone's going to take away from you."

Seriously, the only time I'm quiet is when I'm being fed. I shut up completely and focus on nothing else, so I'm always done before everyone else. I think it also has to do with the fact that I got used to eating quickly in junior high and high school - we had band/choir practice during lunch, so I'd always have about 10 or 15 min. tops to eat.

I have that happen a lot. I am kind of a big guy. I'm 6'2" and I weigh aobut 250lbs., now with exception to big and tall stores, I can never find pants in my size.

Going shopping AT ALL. I hate it, loathe it, and would really like it if no one ever told me they 'enjoy' shopping.

Went to the trift shop, bought 20 white and 20 black tshirts. Went to gaming/compy/adult entertainment store and had witty slogans printed on each of them.

Mail-ordered 12 jeans (wasn't going for a paticular brand until I heard Levi's wasn't 'hip' anyway, so I bought those just to tick off 'hip' people. Yeah, I hate society like that).

KN is done.

Seriously, I hate shopping.

I never find any thing my size because I'm at that size between childrens clothes and adult clothes. Being 11 sucks.

That's the opposite of me. I'm in like, a perfect medium, so I can fing clothes with ease. Most of the times I don't have to try them on. 34'' waist, 34'' length for pants, and a large for most shirts.

Yeah, 12's even worse. Right in between those 10-12 sizes and the 13-16s. You could spend hours at the store trying to find clothes that fiot you, uggghhh...

I'm 11 but I'm seriously big. Like 30 inch waist and 30 inch leg-length. And I'm 5.5 feet tall so I'm about the size of a 12/13 yer-old.

Peeve: People who talk about the same thing in every conversation

My brother does this all the time.

Peeve = Dang near impossible to find 34x36 jeans. Old Navy has them sometimes, but usually the tallest they go are 34x34.

Other peeve = If I want long sleeve shirts with long enough sleeves, I have to buy the fancy type that are 17 36/37. I'll do that for shirts to wear ties with, but if I want to buy a long sleeve button up shirt from target or old navy or whatever, I'm guaranteed that I will have to always roll the sleeves up so no one will be able to tell that the sleeves are too short.

DanBo · **Posted:** Fri Aug 19, 2005 3:47 pm

Try finding 30/31 as an adult. Not that it's an odd size, but because the top half of my legs are too big, from track. I look like I'm wearing bell-bottoms sometimes. The top gets all tight and uncomfortable, so I usually buy 32/31 and wear a belt.

Pet peeves: People telling me things I already know.

My girlfriend (whom I love dearly) and I have conversations like this all the time:

Quote:

Me: Sweetie, do you want to stay home this weekend or go to Place?
She: Well... we could stay home, which would be more relaxing, but going to Place could be fun.
Me: Yes, I am aware of that, which is why I asked the question in the first place.
She: Well what do you want to do?
Me: I want you to answer my question!
She: Well... I don't know.
Me: Why didn't you just say so in the first place?!BLBLBLBLBBL...

I guess that's two peeves in one, actually: People telling me things I already know and people who, when posed a simple question, respond with a non-answer. My girlfriend isn't a special case--soooo many people do both of these things, and it drives me nuts.

It gets worse as the years go on, Jones.

Here's a sample conversation I have with my wife almost daily:

Quote:

Me: Hey, babe, what do you wanna do tonight?
Her: I dunno...what do you wanna do?
Me: I dunno...what do you wanna do?
Her: I dunno...what do you wanna do?

This goes on until one of us realized that it's now bedtime.

Going to a concert were the artist only plays there newer stuff. CURSE YOU JACKSON BROWNE AND ELVIS COSTELLO! Jackson didn't even play Doctor My Eyes or Running on Empty...

Another peeve of mine.
When you are eating with a diabetic, and they decide to test themselves right there during your meal. I know it's necessary, but could you at least go to the bathroom to do it. Please?

Nosebleeds... don't talk to me about nosebleeds. I've had enough nosebleeds to choke a cow, and in the immortal words of Coach Z, they're "owrrfull"!

Peeve: Losing to a team that you have already beaten-many times.
Today, I had a softball game. If we won, we were done for the day, and would be in the finals. We lost, and we had to play another team immediatly after. Now this team we had played four times before. We had beaten them four times. Unfortuanately, we let our guard down, and they beat us. By one run. And earlier in the game, I had a chance to drive in two runs, but, instead grounded into a double play.

When someone brings an anime over to the states then alters it so it's "Safe for children", I.E. decimates the voice-acting, changes major plot points (Luffy TRIPS ON A KNIFE!), turns all the music into hip-hop, and makes it 15 minutes shorter for some crappy intro and recap.
