The Pet Peeves Thread

Biggest pet peeve?

Nickelback existing!  

I saw them in a TV program that was called "Top 100 most annoying songs of all time"

You know, one of those ones with clips of celebrities, most of them comedians, giving their opinions to fill in the time.

I forget who said it but one celebrities described Nickleback as "Nirvana without testicles."

LOL! Yeah I'm pretty sure they have won a few awards for worst band. Actually I think the title was something along the lines of "biggest douche award."

I hate those list shows with the comedians. It's literally the ONLY thing left on Vh1 anymore. Why do Vh1 and MTV still exist, anyway?!

Worst song (remix? cover?) ever--the "one more day" country song with 9/11 news soundbites and Bush 2 speeches. Every time I hear it, I wish I had never existed.

Haha, that sounds AWFUL!

Annoying songs?

It's true

Haha it's so bad, and it's always been that way. There are legit film clips from the 50s of British people (in Spain for the first time) actually wearing suits on the beach. I can't deal.

It was 38.4C here today. But we aren't quite to holiday season. Give it a month or so and we will be swimming in Asian people in their safari gear and Brits in their hilarious outfits with big white socks and sandals lol.

It's not that hot here, only about 18C, but that's "hot" for most of these British people. I've come down to stay with my grandparents for a few days in Somerset, and basically Somerset has the nearest beaches to my (very inland) city, Birmingham. So from May-September, whenever there's a hot weekend or a week when the kids are off school, all the chavs from Birmingham flock down here and we get a full display of British holiday fashion.



And to make it worse, because it's still relatively early-on in summer, they're not even tanned yet. So they're walking around with lily white legs to match their vile white socks. Since I go running regularly I'm already somewhat sun-kissed and glow-y (not super tanned, I'm very fair by Maltese standards) so I have a head start on them.

Poser Rockies like my older brother who hijacked my look once when he went to an Evanescence concert.

I actually knew someone once who said "If evolution is true, how come slugs haven't become slug people? See, evolution can't be true because there are no slug people walking around."

To be technical, slug people don't walk, they slime.

18C.... that's... on the chilly side of comfortable indoor temperature. WTF?

It's not like they're in the damn Arctic.

Absolutely true.

I want to know why there's no mushroom men around. Checkmate, atheists!

[ignoramus]

Because mushroom men all turn out religious because of the nutritious environment in which they thrive!

Peeve: This phone's autocorrect doesn't work the same as my old phone - meaning it doesn't let me correct the autocorrect in any kind of intuitive fashion.

Yeah, #firstworldproblems but it is annoying.
