Non-religious pet peeves

[Extropian]

Do you post under the name of Ravenwynter in another group? Your terminology is very similar.

no

The details of yourself that you made available to members led me to believe you had the erudition to have learned basic spelling

Oh, so your comment was meant to be taken with offense.  Strike 1...hint, don't piss off the admin.

I had no intention to "piss-off" admin. And my remarks were not to be taken with offense. Is moderate criticism of an admin decision to be considered offensive in every instance?
But in any case, whatever the circumstances, if I caused offense then I withdraw the remarks that caused it.

Am I the only one who doesn't understand the things Extropian says?

Nope.

No, and it wasn't in that instance either...

I'm sure everyone else here finds the reason you got a warning very obvious.  But since you apparently don't' get it I'll spell it out for you.  It's not civil to respond to a post made with the intention to be humorous with a snide comment about a spelling mistake made elsewhere...and then when asked for why you made that comment attack the intelligence of the person.

btw, i don't care if you don't like that I moved a thread; if you stick around and contribute productively I'll start to take your opinion into consideration like I do with those that have been around for a while.

Pushy, overly entitled people, smoking anywhere, loud breathers, people who mispronounce words, people who ask me to spell things for them all the time, wind...ya

People smacking when they eat. Never been able to stand it.

[Tank]

People who ask you a question just after you've put something to eat in your mouth and then get stropy when you don't answer them promptly.

In a related scenario, dentists who love to ask you questions as soon as they've put their sharp metal instruments & cotton swabs into your mouth.

Nowadays my biggest pet peeve are people who try to wiggle like slimy eels out of responsibility. Slippery elusive creatures. It's one I'm always hyper focused on.

People who do not have the faintest clue but still try to psychoanalyse me, totally unaware of their incompetence (which has seriously taken on monumental proportions).

Stupid people (^see point above - added for redundancy)

Old bullies who have been resisting mummification for thousands of years (for those that don't know - in reference to a more or less 40 year old woman who, being wholly unable to age with grace, acts like she's on the emotional level of a high schooler.) Is anyone acquainted with an embalmer by any stroke of luck?

Certain people who feel entitled to clarifications from me.

I think my biggest pet-peeve is when people say they're going to do something.. and don't do it. Either in the sense of someone bigging themselves up and bullshiting, or by just being purely unreliable. Like when my boyfriend says he'll be there at 5pm and he's there at 6:30pm. Or when someone says they're going to attend something and you expect them to be there and they don't turn up.

I also hate it when people take stuff that doesn't belong to them without asking. As a student, this happens a lot. I went home for the weekend to see my family for my brother's birthday and I've come back and all of my plates have been used and not cleaned up, and at least 3 of my brownies have been eaten. It's awful - I almost feel like putting locks on my cupboards!

Being blamed for things that I didn't do by those who work other shifts.  I keep getting used as a scapegoat, its really damned annoying.

[xSilverPhinx]

I have a growing irritation for situations like:

X possesses a characteristic which Y perceives to be a quality
X and Y are identified as being in the same group/culture

Therefore Y possesses the characteristic he/she admires in X

 wtf

Really common down here where I live, in Southern Brazil (no, I'm not from around) where they have too many Y's rubbing their 'qualities' in your face.

Edit: A culture's historical heritage is different though, IMO. I'm talking about the above ^ - an individual to individual basis - where the Y's usually do not possess the qualities they want to see themselves as having. After the millionth person doing that, it gets kinda annoying.

When I know for sure that those who work other shifts did something that I have to fix when it's my shift (repeatedly), and the management doesn't do anything about it.

I've just noticed this, and maybe it's incredibly petty of me, but people who over use their wiper blades. Three drops of rain on the windshield and your wipers are about to launch your car off the ground...it just makes me feel like you're emotionally unbalanced or something...

When people don't understand casual, stupid humour, or they don't get that the casual stupidity of it is deliberate. Extreme example:

"You know, I think my car is the only one in North Carolina with salt residue on it."

"Really? Try not to run yourself over then. Might sting."

"No... I doubt salt residue would make any difference to the sting of getting ran over by a car. I mean, getting ran over by a car hurts a lot as it is. And how the hell would I run myself over? Did that basic physical problem just not come into your brain?"

"No. No it did not. I'm an idiot." :brick:
