Pet Peeves

Having to listen to people that I don't want to hear for hours really grinds my gears. That's why I love dad for my MP3 Player. So I wouldn't be able to hear constant talking.

Also, having to wait in a doctor's waiting room for two hours while he has a meeting instead of tending to his patients drive me crazy. Sure, it only happened once, but I was about ready to kickstart a waiting room riot.

Comcast in general. Here, it's like a monopoly. Either use Comcast to get fast internet or don't have fast internet at all. Use it to get cable without a satellite dish or go back to local channels. Plus their customer service has been terrible all the times I heard about it.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I bet you wish you had my cat. All she does is eat, sleep and asks for attention every now and then.

You could be like me and use comcast and NOT get fast internet.
As for their customer service, you don't want me to get started... It's almost like you're asking too much if you want someone who knows what they're talking about. I don't fault the customer service rep, he's just doing his job, and was put in a position he's not qualified for (that's not his fault). Why, oh, why, haven't they outsourced to India yet? At least with tech support like Dell (located in India) you get someone who A) Enjoys their job,

knows what they're doing, C) seems to care.

That's like TimeWarner up here. They have everything and the prices are sky high. That's going have to change. TimeWarner is finally going to have some competition: Comcast is moving in and I know they are going to try a woo away TimeWarner customers by offering the same plans only cheaper.

I still live with my parents (As I can't drive, or even smoke, yet). So I'm in a bit of a jam there.

Also,

seems to create that cool shades smiley.

When radio stations play the same songs over and over again. Hearing your favorite song is supposed to be a treat. You're not supposed to hear it so much that it becomes your least favorite song.

Another peeve-'o-mine is when girls check me out. Not that I don't like girls, but it's like, you can do way better! Don't waste your time on me. But a way worse peeve (wow, lots of italicized "way"'s today) is the peeve of not being a worthy soulmate, thus not wanting to be checked out by potential soulmates.

That's why I don't listen to the radio. I like to be in control of my music.

Gah, Sirius is just like that. I can't begin to tell you how many times we heard certain songs in one day. It was like they had 50 songs to play, 24/7.

That's the way every radio station works, except you're paying $13 a month.

That's because a good thing is even better when it's done 300 times in a row!! Just look at YTMND.

WHA?!? Where's the self-esteem there, dude? You gotta think more highly of yourself. You're the man now, dog!

But at least there's no commercials on the music channels. So I don't have to hear any "Head on" commerials.

Yes, you've told us that three times already. You mind saying something useful instead of the same thing over and over again?

Actually I counted two.

I've listened to radio stations that had 20 songs to play 24/7. And half were pop-punk. That's another really bad peeve-'o-mine, when radio stations run pop-punk singles into the ground. Those catchy hooks can only stay catchy for so long, before they become...nails-on-a-chalkboard-y. :eek:

Thanks for the words of inspiration/a good laugh, man. That's just what I needed. :mrgreen:

I agree, no more getting sad on us.

well, Patsy eats plants, but she's 17, spends her entire day under the bed, and never learned to jump.

Well, my cat's the devil, so I think that's why she does that. I even fixed it yesterday, only to have her knock it down again. I think she likes seeing my blood pressure rise.

Get a bird next time, then. The only problem they give is being loud from time to time and crapping on you when you least expect it.

My Dad hates those things with a passion. Besides, my next pet's going to be a penguin anyways.

My peeve right now is trying to take tests online. My one class had it so we could take our test online. The only problem was that all the questions and answers were messed up. One answer was like,
A: Something
B: Both A and B
C: Something else
D : All of the above
E : Some more thing

That's not confusing, is it?

When new people complain on the friends thread that they do have any.
Don't expect the day you enter you'll have tons of friends, it took me till January to befriend anyone.

I hate it when people put 1/2 a million videos, games, and pics on their myspace page. It crashed my browser window, and I don't want to have to use the scroll bar on the bottom all the time.

its so bloody weird!

ramrod - you're a good friend.

Another peeve-'o-mine is weight loss. There are so many techniques. And only a few actually work. You end up doing all sorts of crap to your body before you actually figure out how to lose weight properly!

Aww, thanks. You're cool too.

My peeve is having a cut o my hand. It seems that things are somehow attracted to it. Salt, breading, and my all time favorite, bleach and Ajax. I think my hand is ready to kill me.
