Pet Peeve

[Lawrinson14]

Preface: No disrespect to any posters here as I'm sure others find this sort of thing useful or entertaining (for what reason I have no idea).

That said, I cannot stand when people try to draw comparisons between players now and players of the past, players on other teams, all stars, flops, etc. Why can't we just watch somebody like Tyler Ennis and appreciate him for he is? Why do we have to say that he reminds us of (insert name here)?

Hmmm...trying to think which poster you remind me of...




Just kidding...

You beat me to it, I was just thinking the same thing.

My pet peeve is restaurants that insist on inserting tomatoes into every thing you order ... even though the menu does not indicate an appetizer or main course contains them. When one is allergic to tomatoes, it is amazing how often they show up in the most un-expected (and un-announced) places. Beet salad? Grilled swordfish? Escargot? All things I recently ordered that showed up with un-announced tomatoes. I next expect them to show up in a chocolate mousse.

Tomatoes are the worst. Try not liking tomatoes and growing up in an Italian family.

My pet peeve is the words pet peeve...

Double negative. Don't like tomatoes and Italian? That's a tough break.

 

[SoBeCuse]

- Comparisons are fun. Everybody does it in every sport.
- Oy, not liking tomatoes in an Italian family? No red sauce? Fail.
- My pet peeve is when some rube orders an "EX-presso."

How about if (like me) being Jewish and a favorite food is shrimp?

When somebody pronounces potable in such a way as to make the word seem like it means "can be put in a pot." All liquids can be put into a pot. Not all liquids can be safely consumed. Tomato juice is potable unless you are CTO, then you want to throw it in the pot.

Well you could say pork or bacon! Shrimp in Israel is awesome.

 

[Lawrinson14]

Non-sports pet peeve: When people at work say that we should "take this conversation off-line." What? When was it ever on-line? Also, "I'll shoot you an email." No thanks, sending it will do just fine.

You mean shrimp don't naturally have a crispy bacon shell around them when they come out of the water??


Mind = blown.

I don't think I have any pet peeves except when I'm driving. When I'm on the road I'm the incredible hulk version of myself, perpetually angry and everyone is driving like an assshole.

when someone sticks their hand out of a car window and makes a motion as if their hand is surfing in the wind. how is that for neurotic.

 

[RandygoCuse]

When people misuse "literlally." It makes my head (figuritively) explode.

 

[newmexicuse]

My pet peeve is when my dog mis-behaves (rarely happens since they are all almost perfect - LOL) !!!

 

[GenericCuse]

I think that all right-thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary decent thinking people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. Well I'm certainly not, but I'm sick and tired of being told that I am.

Come on. Eat, eat. You're skin and bones.

Me too. I was crafting something all witty in my head before I scrolled down. Dang..

Thank you! Drives me batty because the Army guys say it wrong all the dang time.

I prolly say "We can talk about this off-line" about 10 times a day, and "I'll shoot you an email" about 50 lol

Hearing other people smack their lips while eating/chewing is one of my big ones.

I also very much dislike other people's feet. Especially if they touch me with them. I barely let the wife touch me with hers when they are bare and she showers nearly every day.

Sister in law. Lip smacker, chews with mouth open. Had to say something the other day.
