Several things that re loud.

Motorcycles.
Loud Cars (How is that 'cool' anyways)
And people who feel obligated to talk extremely loud.

Why? Well, first, they're annoying anytime, but I have an extended hate for them.

You see, we live above a store and my bedroom window faces a busy street. So, when I'm trying to sleep, sometimes I will be waked-up(?) by these annoying people/automobiles. Especially considering I live in a town where there are a lot of bikers.

Horns shouldn't be allowed to function unless

The lady that lives across the street from us has a little motorscooter. EVERY FREAKIN DAY she gets on her motorscooter and goes up and down the cul-de-sac for an hour. Holding a beer bottle. Honking the horn.

Beep beep beeeeep! Beep beeeep! Beeep beep beep beeeeeep!

She just doesn't stop honking the freaking horn.

We had some friends over a while ago while she was putt-putting about, incessantly honking, and the wife is just the quietest, politest, most Molly Mormon girl you can imagine. After 15 minutes, she said, "She's just asking for someone to back over her, isn't she."

Yeesh, I know that. I had some kids living up the road who'd constantly be buzzing around on one of those tiny scooters. Smaller engine than regular scooter = 100x more annoying. Gah.

Just call the cops. If she's drunk, it's DUI. If not, she's violating open container laws. Either way, it should be some good entertainment for you and your neighbors.

Hours of entertainment indeed. Seeing your neighbor being carted off is always funny. Ok, most of the time.

My door.

I have to struggle to open the door. It's so annoying!
It just won't budge.
I need to push the handle RIGHT down in order to open it.....
And still I have to pull really hard to open it.

is that to get in, or out?
if it's in, then you could use it to your advantage. leave the door open. when you're being chased, run in and close the door. that leaves time to escape.

I have a simple solution to that, get a new door.

Seriously, I had that happen too. The door at my house, in order to shut it, you need to pull up in the door knob. It's annoying to say the least.

Peeve: Too many stickys.

I don't know why it's bugging me so much, but having a bunch of stickys at the top of the Off-subject section is starting to bug me, hopefully it'll change soon.

Peter222 · **Posted:** Fri Sep 01, 2006 3:48 pm

It bothers me a lot too. I have no idea why.

Both ways actually....
It's hard to open it both ways.

Oh, and Rammy. It IS a new door.
My old door got smashed in by my brother.

PEEVE:
I have so many addies on MSN. Yet no-one EVER speaks to me EVER!

Except the odd few.

i hate walking up the stairs when you've just turned the downstairs light off.

I hate going into a room to do something, then forgetting what I went there to do.

Peeve of lifetime: Idiots with driver's licences.

Honestly, I think the same Automotive Harassment Squad that's following George Carlin around is following me too.

K, so we have this DJ who plays music in between periods on Fridays. I requested Under Pressure (by Queen, for those uninformed of great classic music). And he played it until the first chorus was over, and he switched it to some other song. He didn't do that for any other song all day, and there was some crappy music. Like some pop music nobody will ever hear and some ska that some people will never hear in their life.

They killed my favorite song!

DJs are paid to play music the majority of people like, so unfortunatly people that don't like new music are usually forced to suffer through songs by the likes of 50 Cent and Justin Timberlake.

That would be true, exept for the fact that he's supposed to take requests. And I hear tons of classic music. Like today as soon as I come in the door I heard Immigrant Song by Led Zep. And Come as You are by Nirvana is a song he plays a lot.

True, except under pressure isn't quite as... Upbeat as those songs. The immigrant especially is one of those classic songs anyone will atleast listen to, even if they think Led Zepplin is lame.

Anyhoo...Toastpaint.

topofsm · **Posted:** Sat Sep 02, 2006 12:22 am

Well, I don't know about that. Come as you are isn't very upbeat. It's barely faster than Under Pressure. And it's been played over 2 times, where usually you only hear one song once. It's just one of those WTF moments.

Peeve: TV shows where people yell for no apparent reason

Jim Cramer of Mad Money, I'm talking about you. If I need you to be louder, I can turn up the volume.

My peeve is my College. It hasn't sent me my schedule yet for my classes. I know what classes I have, and what time, but I need the room number and teacher's name, so I can go to class and buy the books. And classes start on Tuesday.

Go online, and print off a schedule there.

The thing is, for me at least, it didn't have the class room or Teacher either online. It was all TBA.

Hmm, I got my room numbers. I didn't get any of my teachers, but I already know who three of my teachers will be.

My main pet peeve is...liars. I also hate having 0 friends. :rolleyes:

Beaums · **Posted:** Sat Sep 02, 2006 6:22 am

I have a BUNCH of pet peeves. In fact, I've decided to only post one at a time! Man, consider yourself lucky you don't have to sit through one of my LONG posts that drags on and on, leaving you mentally unaware at the end.

Anyways, one of my pet peeves is those people at the front of lines who WON'T STOP ASKING QUESTIONS! You know, the old greying woman or insecure bachelors who demand on asking the cashier as many questions as humanly possible. I ALWAYS find these people, especially at fast food lines. They usually can't decide on what to buy, so they pester the cashier senseless about the products. Oh, and when they start a conversation with the employee about something other than the food products, I HATE THAT! It holds the whole line up, making the fast food not so freakin' fast! I don't know about you guys, but it ticks me off. GRR!

The fact that He-Man never cuts anything with his sword.

Although, I guess, "The day I held aloft my steel pole and said the words, "By the honour of Grey-Skull, I HAVE THE POWER!" didn't sound as cool...
