People who say "like" every other word.

People who are stuck up.

People who derail threads with tl;dr debates.

Celebrity news.
Doesn't matter what kind. From where they had new kids, a car accident to 'zomg, he like was still totally drunk on sunday morning after partying' and 'she gained so much weight it's hardly noticable'.

I despise it all.

the, wobbley zoom in&out shakey cam filming style of many movies and tv shows. Main example that comes to mind is Battlestar Galactica...   It's such a cheap and flimsy attempt at making your show appear more dramatic.

-Trashy people regardless of race or ethnicity.

-Religous fanatics of any religion. "My religion is better!" Sort of thing.

-When people chew gum then take it out and put it on a plate or cup to chew on later after they eat/drink whatever it is they are eating/drinking. Like, seriously now? I'LL BUY YOU A WHOLE PACK OF GUM, JUST THROW THE PIECE AWAY IT'S DIGUSTING!

-Crackheads/Heroin Junkies/Meth Addicts: Although they can provide some entertainment, it gets old after a while and I get tired of coming out of store and asked for EXACT change. For example: "Yo my man, you got $1.27?" /pullhair

-If you live Western New York then you will understand this one: ALL THE LITTLE WANNABE GANGSTER'S FROM RIVERSIDE AND BLACK ROCK. Seriously, kill yourselves. ASAP.

-People acting like they are hispanic, complete with the false hispanc accent. Seriously, we all see your white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes. So STOP TRYING.

-People that take 20 minutes to tell a 5 minute story/joke. Nuff' said.

-Taxes. I know they help fund things...but I just hate em'!

My cousins are white skined blonde hair and blue eyed and they are mexican. They look "white".

Yeah, there is no way to "act" like an ethnic group. Only a stereotype of one.

The color orange.

Your absolutely correct, and I apologize for that generalized statement as I also know people that Spanish (like Spaniard) that are blonde and blue eyed. What I meant was the blonde hair, blue eyed people that are of anglo-saxon backgrounds acting like they are hispanic.

And Pyraci, I know what you mean by saying that they are acting like a stereotype and I didn't mean it that way. I meant the people that act like they ARE Hispanic, not the stereotype, like they actually act like they are Puerto Rican, Mexican, Dominican, etc. etc. They aren't acting the stereotype, they're falsely claiming they are of a ethnic group that they are obviously not apart of.

I understand what you're saying, and there is a certain degree of ignorance and need for acceptance that people have that try to be what they aren't.

But yeah, I'd say one of my "peeves" is the token "friend" that put up the façade of being a friend when it suits him/her or it's "convenient" - when it beneficial. The same ones that don't know you it isn't popular to.

Its all good I know what you meant.  No need to apologize.

Hopefully one day we our nation (USA) can get passed skin color. I think it would help a lot if they stopped doing stats on which race made what scores on test like SATs TAAS (Texans know this stupid test) or income ect ect. 

But back on topic

Current movies that rely on tons and tons of CGI only to have a stupid Movie.  Im looking at you Fantastic 4 part 1 and 2  Ghostrider and Handcock!

That's kind of a dialect issue. Try living in Tennessee.

I mean, it'd be kind of like saying people who speak a certain language are annoying.

French

I kid I kid

People who are going straight on on a roundabout, but dont indicate. Not leaving enough time to pull out before the next car comes because I only realised they were turning off when they actually did!

Oh, and drivers that slam on the brakes for a traffic officer 4 by 4, or any vehicle that has a slight pattern on high visibility paint.

When people utter the phrase, "I would kill for one of these."

• Elitist snobs who think others are elitist snobs.
• People who cannot take a joke at face value
• People who are incapable of realizing that the world does not revolve around them.
• 15-16 year old know-it-all's who have been there and done that in everything in life it would seem.
• People who drive 25 mph in a 55 mph zone.
• People who take MxO too seriously
• Nomial 'friends'

This happend to me today;

When i got home from my judo class i was very tired and decided to take a nice long nap. Im dead asleep, only to be awaken by my room mate...but get this he wakes me up by comming home, walking into my room and at the top of his lungs say,

"Hey man i some stuff from the store im whiped! Can you go down stairs and get it?"

While i was sleeping...at that point my mind went blank and just a white hot flash of fury came over me and i felt like punching him square in the nose, he saw that look on my face and walked out of my room so fast, and to this very moment we still havent talked. (2 hours later)

But people who wake me up when im sleeping has got to be a huge pet peeve of mine.

HAHAAHA I know what you mean. I think back to when I was that age and I thought I knew it all.   When I see  kids around that age now I just think man they got no clue whats coming.  The whole time I thought the light bill paid for itself and the milk in the fridge just auto filled up.

Yeah, I become:

YOU HAS WOKE BEARCAT FROM HIBERNATION!

Note to all of you: Don't wake me up either, lol

People who will stay angry at you for days/weeks over something trivial. I can understand why people at first become angry, but when they hold it over your head for long lengths of time, it really just boils down to them wanting attention rather than them still begrudging over you.

Ahh... a festive season update: (because only recently has this hatred been rekindled)

When someone says Happy Christmas or Merry Easter. These phases are inthemseles no incorrect... but it just sits uneasily with me...

It should be Merry Christmas and Happy Easter.

I got 'happy christmas'ed the other day and I was like wha?
