Pet peeve part 2

My pet peeve is threads that already exist being created again. It's repetitive and makes for a clogged page. :)

This Kenzo guy who keeps creating threads with a 1 or 2 line teaser that reels you in, then bam... an hour later there's a 9 paragraph-post monster that makes you want to stab your eyes out.

Also creepy: people who talk in the third person.

KingDingAling thinks talking in the third person is awesome.

That's so "Elmo."

Pet Peeve #2: Being called "Elmo."

Just another manic ______day. hey Kenso?

jimmy doesn't like misunderstandings. jimmy and misunderstandings kinda clash.

Clients who ask me to convert their video files to a different format because youtube won't accept them. Then send me a corrupt file and when I ask "are you able to open this file?" they say "No. I'm getting a file corrupted error." You know, maybe I'm wrong, but I suspect youtube doesn't play corrupted files. Dummy.

When drivers on Allen/Richmond drive down the middle of the street and steadfastly refuse to pull over to the right- even if there are no parked cars on the right. Like the y Mercedes SUV driver who made me wait at the end of the street just now. You go, boy.

Being blindsided by things posted on Facebook.

My pet peeve #2 is drivers crossing the solid lines on the highway... please refer back to your drivers license manual people, you cannot cross a solid line!!

My neighbor's cats ate food directly from my grill last night. Frosting on the yard-as-litterbox cake.

I'd be eating cat off that grill tonight.

would that be one step away from a turducken-like meal? like a cat stuffed with [let's say steak]. so we'd need to stuff the cat into something else…

capitalization for emphasis

I'm just peeved that my capitalization is now going to be further taxed out the wahzoo by the city.

I wasn't talking about you, either. Hahahaha.

Oh wait... I meant to say, I wasn't talking about you, EITHER. HAHAHAHA.

People who dress little girls like grown women.
People who slowly meander across your path on foot or by car....
Horking Loogies.

text-walkers who bump into you, and then act as if it's your fault. i had this happen to me in suburban station a few months ago, and the woman was meandering around like a drunk person before bumping into me. i muttered a soft "sorry" because i'm a nice person, but apparently she didn't hear me and promptly yelled out "exCUSE YOU!". it got a little ugly after that point.

Developers who "care"

Once dwell house of the year and former residence of Post Green President and local Realtor power-couple Chad and Courtney Ludeman - now a rental property they still own.

Current state of foreclosed development forwarded by former EKNA zoning chair and local celebrity-dj/Realtor Nigel Richards.

that house is offensive. i can't believe they took over the whole sidewalk and never fixed it. it makes me so mad when i walk up that part of dauphin.

Have they given up being celebrity-home people yet?

That's just as embarrassing as if a child died of salmonella poisoning from eating Stephen Starr's food--you can never live that down.

Honest, I was referring to a different austen, and she actually works a corner on Kensington Ave.

well hopefully they will be better landlords if they build their proposed mix-use on Frankford. When they wanted to build a 3 family down the block we heard alot of "but we live here" "we care it's our neighborhood too" That pic is not an anomaly it has been the general state of that house. Somehow the tenant walked past all that when she took her trash out yesterday and left it. I know we all get litter blow up and I admit I don't always get it immediately but this has been accruing for awhile.

it went to foreclosure sheriff sale recently hopefully it will move or at least there will be a new owner to slap with violations. I cant remember how many units. It's big though second building on Fletcher.

Six threads devoted to OC - really?

It was a sad day when it was canceled. Marissa Cooper - you are missed.

i have to admit, i loved that show.

I'm nostalgic for that pre-reality era.

ATM charges. If a place is cash-only, they should install a machine with minimal charges. $2.50 at Rocket Cat? Ugh.

That's what you get for going to Rocket Cat.

I like Rocket Cat. (And so does Jordy if I remember correctly.) I like soy lattes and they don't charge .60 extra like everyone else. Comfy couches. And I haven't showered in a couple days and it's absolutely no problem here. My kind of place.

So that's what that smell was last night.

Bars that do not have Bud, Miller or Coors light on tap.

Gotta get a Schwab No-ATM-Fee card. It has eliminated all ATM stress.

Maybe. But today, yes.

My list could be extensive so, I'll only list the two that bother me most...

Peeve Numbero Uno -- when drivers drive in the EXIT ONLY lane until the very last possible second and then hold me up because they can't get over.
Peeve Numbero Dos -- the extremely rude people that shop at Trader Joes. I've never experienced so many s in one area, in my life. None of them have any manners!!! Zero.

We have Ally bank and it's the same -- no ATM fees, ever. So much easier (and cheaper).

Really? I think Whole Foods, especially the parking lot, is way, way worse than Trader Joes. Every time I try to park at Whole Foods I feel like having an aneurism would be a more pleasant experience.

My experience at T-Joes is always significantly worse than Whole Foods. Maybe it's because Whole Foods is bigger and people aren't on top of each other so I don't feel so smushed in by jerks? I also don't go to Whole Foods nearly as much as Trader Joes so I can't really judge.

The parking situation at the South St. Whole Foods is a LOT easier, even though I walk there 90% of the time.

Number one has sent me into a near murderous rage on several occasions. These people think that they're smart, nut they're really just huge, gaping .

Can we rename this thread what it really is, First World Problems?

i only got to have one half-priced whiskey last night before i had to go let the dog out.

What about the drivers who ignore the huge line of cars on Girard waiting to get onto 95N and speed up the left lane and then cut in at the last minute. Total move.
Trader Joe customers who stand at the check-out and refuse to bag their groceries is annoying.

People who stand mouth agape at a salad bar as if they are witnessing the parting of the Red Sea.

Yeah, I've already mentioned this 479 times, I know.

People who have no concept of how to move around in public places or what personal space might be.

Trader Joes customers! haha

Butting in line is never okay!

The View, The Chew, Kelly Ripa.

Can't hold a candle to my homegirl Wendy Williams.

People who go under 50 mph in any lane on the highway, but especially the left lane.

People who get in line behind me and stand right up against me like there's no way to give me just a few inches of personal space. It doesn't make the line move any faster, people.

If you think TJs and WFs customers are annoying, you should try Cherry Hill Wegman's on a Sunday. That place is HUGE and people STILL can't get out of the way. New Jerseyans...

You wanna have a "Chew" party some day where we just throw bricks at a TV?

I HATE, HATE, HATE that show! I want them all to self-immolate! I want them run over by metal-spiked steamrollers!

Aaaaugh!!!

(anyway, it would be fun)

We'll need plenty of Flemish Sour to sit through that. I was at the gym and the guy on the next treadmill was staring at the tv howling -- at either The Chew or the Olympics.

Not enough banners in 19125. Pointing out the generations of history. :(

I have Flemish Sours in the fridge. Also, Ommegang Saison, St. Bernardus Tripel, Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin, and Brooklyn Chocolate Stout.

To get through the 'Chew,' however, we may need to break out the whiskey. And grenades.

Have I mentioned I'd like to see 45 rabid, crazed wolverines attack the set while they're in the middle of one of their HILARIOUS, WACKY riffs on cooking fennel or natural toilet care products?

God, I hate that show.

What? St Bernardus Tripel?? I LOVE that. Where'd you get it? A case at Bella Vista is over 100 bucks. Not inc tax.

Large White Pick-up driver: I'm sorry that I held you up while you were behind me waiting to turn left onto Hancock from Girard; I simply didn't feel right about taking out an entire family crossing the street. Good thing you went around me to make that left; must have save you at least 15 seconds.

At the Wegm...uh, the store I'm not supposed to name that's on Route 70 in Cherry Hill. I *think* it was around 13 bucks for a 4-pack. AMAZING stuff, agreed!

1)When I get off of 95SB at Girard, the people who are coming from Aaramingo who think they have there own lane.2) The fact that I can't push my shopping cart all the way to my car at the Thriftway.

People who buy breakfast at Dunkin Donuts....YOUR HOLDING UP THE ENTIRE LINE OF PEOPLE WHO ARE IN NEED OF COFFEE...GET COFFEE OR GET OUT OF THE WAY.
Ever hear of a restaurant? A real one? Thats where you get breakfast...

This is especially egregious at the drive-thru. It's for people who just want to get their coffee and go. If you're buying sandwiches, donuts and drinks for your entire extended family, you should probably park the car and go inside.

The sound of the guitar on Slint's Tweez. It reminds me of high school punk bands, and the Boss Death Metal Distortion pedal (which is kind of good for bass sometimes).
Also, most usage of the flanger effect on guitar, I find personally offensive.

People at the deli counter who order a 1/4 lb of everything.

Yes.

I'm drawn like a moth to a flame to such things. It cannot be explained.

I thought you watched it only after you've done something really regrettable.

It is a form of penance for sins both past, present, and future, yes.

I'm feeling very esoteric about all this at the moment. Gnostic, even.

I want to know why, everytime I go to the Thriftway, the bread is buy one get one free. Why can't they just sell one of them to me for half price?

My pet peeve is store workers who complain about paying customers.

I didn't realize it was already in daily syndication.

People who Skype in cafes. Come ON...

Cafes.
Just sounds too fancy for me.

Warning: profanity. Worth it.

When the City of Philadelphia / Kenyatta Johnson is attempting to do a land grab in Point Breeze of 43 lots... I think I might go to the City Council hearing this week.

My pet peeve is that we never get to hear what the nasty, rude, snooty people that shop at Trader Joes's and Whole Foods think of the people that always seem to say that only these sorts of people shop at these places, yet there they are shopping at this place???? Makes you wonder where they fit in?

I don't think people at TJ are necessarily rude -- just totally oblivious. I was there today at 4 [I know, I know...] and people just parked their carts mid-aisle while they stared, frozen, mouth agape, at the offerings. As if witnessing the parting of the sea. [Nod to George.]

Guy sitting in the front row, center, texting mid-performance at the Wilma Theater today.

I don't know if this counts as a pet peeve, but this is something that I think is dumb that most people seems to think is a perfectly find thing for a man to do, and that is bringing a photo to get your hair cut. I mean, if a gal does it, that's understandable, because there are endless possibilities with gals. For a guy it's a bit ridiculous. A man should be able to describe his haircut in twenty words or less, like this:
- It parts here, just cut it.
- Same as last time.
- Buzz cut. (two words, done.)
- Haircut, please.
- #2 on the sides, spike the top, leave the back. (That was the longest explanation I could imagine, and it was only eleven words, so twenty is plenty, mister fussypants. By the way, don't get that hair cut. It's babe repellant.)
When you bring a picture, you just sound like "I want to look like this. Do your wizardry, mister Hair Cuttery. Make me fabulous." That's ridiculous.

Getting a head cold the day before I'm going to a delicious French dinner I've been waiting a month for.
Oh, I'm still going. I still wouldn't miss it for the world.

Eagles.

Eagles fans.
There. I said it.

My pet peeve is people who park in the middle of a spot big enough for two cars. Also people who believe it is fine to park one inch from my bumpers boxing me in. Don't they know I have steel bumpers and four wheel drive? I can just bang my way out. Which I do!

Not cool to slam into another car because you because you feel it's parked too close to your steel-bumpered four-wheel drive.

Not cool not to leave me enough room so I don't have to bang my way out.

You don't have to bang your way out unless you're a really poor driver. Or you're a total tool.

If someones parked an inch from my front and rear bumper there isn't any room to get out without banging into their cars. Your must apparently be one of these guys that parks this way since your so upset with it.

I'm upset about anyone bragging about banging into another car out of spite and yeah, I could be the "guy" who parks too closely to your SUV because my Honda fit nicely into tight spots. Hey, perhaps you could fit your vehicle with a hitch to do even more damage to those cars that dare to park too closely -- that'll teach 'em.

I drive a pickup truck. Not an SUV. Well remember the next time you squeeze into a spot that is to tight. The other cars will need to be able to get out.

Well, remember the next time you're bashing the chit out of the car in front/back of you that it may have been the only parking space available to that driver.

No one said I bash the hell out of them. But if you believe that nothing is going to happen if your parked that close you need to wake up. As for being the only spot I many times have to drive around at night looking for a spot I can fit in. I don't try to squeeze into one I can't fit without room. I keep looking till I find one.

If you're able to get out of a tight parking spot by "banging" into the cars on either end, then I'd assume you could do the same by being a bit more careful--even if touching them is sometimes unavoidable. It's not as if banging into them is creating more space to do it.

Maybe you didn't mean for it to read that way, but it comes across a little malicious. It's a city--parking is going to be a real nuisance sometimes. If it takes me a few more seconds to get out of a tight spot, so be it.

You call yours "Honda", too? Weird!

My pet peeve is people who nickname things the same thing as I nickname them.

People getting upset about not being able to park in front of their houses. Other people being upset about having to maneuver out of tight parallel spots. This IS still a city right? I feel like I just stumbled onto the Cherry Hill forum by mistake.

Ha you been called a tool and a nitwit in one day...GREAT JOB!

People who spell douche wrong. People who double park when there is room to pull over and block me from getting by. UPS drivers are the worst

Ha.your in when you earn the label of village idiot!
How I tried to achieve such fame.but had to settle fur this dumb hat..Coder can i take out off yet?

People who post 100

People who post 100 on comment 101.

Jesteś głupcem, Stanley?
Dlaczego niepokoić?

Resident troll throws in the final blow! "ouch"I would feel some sort of way about this!

Well to answer that stosh someone who uses his 4 wheel pickup for work. I couldn't do the work I do in a smart car.

People who drench themselves in cologne/perfume. Hello, migraine...

No kidding. Hello allergy attack. Man, try soap and water, it works.
My daughter bought a thing that automatically sprays some type of air freshner like every minute.
I walk past and It sprays me in the face, or I'll put some type of foodstuff down, and before I know, its being coated with chemicals....ugghhh!

Ugh. I hate those automatic dispensers!

There is an IT guy here at work who douses himself. The smell is so strong it actually gives me a sore throat if he is in 3 feet of my desk. He got out of the elevator once while I was getting in and I had to get off and take the stairs.

Luckily, no one forces you to overpay for beer.
Breathing other peoples stank...we'll thats a horse of a different color.

what is going on in that picture? did someone lose teeth trying to gnaw open a beer?

When I come home to find half a dozen menus and glossy flyers shoved in the mail slot just a few hours after the trash has already been picked up, and now I have a head start on next week's recycling before I can even turn the living room light on.

They do this on purpose, don't they?
