When people open their mouths and the stupid falls out.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Cell Phone Madness (CPM)
1. It’s ringing and I can’t find it.
2. It’s ringing and by the time I find it and get the stupid futhermucker unflipped, the person hangs up
3. When I forget who was the last person I called and get the wrong person when I press redial. How do you tell your mother, “Oh sorry, I didn’t mean to call you"
4. Long-assed voice mail greetings.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.

That's not a pet peeve to me, that's shitty writing. Shitty writing is a pet peeve of mine.

Not exactly a pet peeve of mine, but people who walk slow and veer all over the place when I'm trying to get around them are.
- People who get out of the shower before toweling off - even a little - and then drip all over the bathroom floor. AND THEN they don't wipe the floor afterwards so you walk in there with socks and get your socks all wet with water.
- Consequently, I'm not a fan of bathrooms that are considered "wet rooms" where the shower consists of a shower head in the corner and a drain in the floor so water. gets. everywhere...
- People with giant-ass cars thinking they can fit into compact parking spaces. No, your minivan is not a compact car.
- Minivans.
- People who take forever to leave a parking spot once they get in their car.
- People who don't put the weights away in the right spots on the weight rack at the gym. They're labeled, people. It's not that hard.
- People who are always, chronically, for no reason at all late for everything.
- People who zoom way ahead on a lane of traffic that's been backed up and then put their blinker on at the last second and want someone to let them in and block up traffic behind THEM until someone does.
- Impatient drivers. The light has been green for half a second, you don't need to honk at the person at the front of the line.
- People who start crossing the street when they know they won't cross by the time your light turns green but they poke along crossing anyway so two cars get through the light.
- Bikers who think they own the road. You need to realize that you're a puny pipsqueak on 20 pounds of aluminum and not wearing a helmet. Seriously, you're shit is going to get splattered on the asphalt if you don't respect the F350 barreling down your ass.
- People who don't take direction or give you haughty looks when you're trying to correct something they're obviously doing wrong - not kids or teenagers, it's to be expected of them, but adults who should know better. Thinking of workplace scenarios where immature or disrespectful behavior doesn't just reflect on the person doing the thing but on their coworkers and the company they represent.
- Book series that don't have conclusions to their books and just leave things on big cliff hangers to con you into buying the next book. Nope. Give me a conclusion to the story I just read and leave me with a teaser, but don't just end the story with "And then he jumped into the unknown...." Dan Wells' Serial Killer series is a good example of a conclusion with a teaser. Robison Wells' Variant series is a good example of leaving a book with no conclusion and nothing but questions. Nope nope nope. I'm done with you.
- Thinking everything in a house can be fixed with liberally applied silicon caulking.
- Home Depot. There are never enough employees around when you need to ask where something is.
- When things are unnecessarily expensive.
- Not having enough money to go on good vacations. Then getting yelled at when I don't use my vacation.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
