Pet Peeve

[osullfam]

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)?

Lawrinson14 is like Booth7, but several years behind physically. Definitely taller, but Booth has an uncanny way of finding the open spot among the dorms. Lawrinson14 may get there, time will tell.

Can't eat with my aunt and uncle anymore. They both do it and it's beyond disgusting. And she's a professional that travels for work and entertains clients. I can't even imagine.

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.

Nearly every day? Am I doing it too often?

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.

I know! What is that?

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




Just kidding...

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.

Beet salad

People at the bar who try to have a conversation with me while I'm watching a game... Listen guy, !

While watching TV anywhere, someone walks into your field of view and then stops to either watch the TV or carry on a conversation with someone...my 7 year old does to me at home all the time...

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

My God, man, "Make it stop!"

when someone says something, then says "im just saying". no stuff youre just saying, you just said it!

or when someone says "not for nothing". im not even sure what that means.

 

[Cowtown]

Drives me sideways when people fulminate effusively, yet think "a lot" is one word; can't sort out their/there/they're; don't realize "it's" is a contraction for "it is;" say "less" when they mean "fewer;" "then" when they mean "than;" and "except" when they mean "accept." I was going to include effect/affect, but most can't anyway.

And pompous pedants who use big words to make themselves appear more intelligent, and do it wrong.

That one, and when people begin with "I was just wondering ..." Well, of course you were, or else you wouldn't be asking!

I was wondering if someone was going to pick up on that.

my pet peeve is when they put a lemon in your water without asking if you want it. If I wanted a lemon...I would have ordered a lemonade.

boom, yes.

And I hate when they put a pickle on my plate. It makes my grilled cheese all soggy!

Pass the pickle over then. Or than. Cowtown, which one is it?

And order some grown up food! Have the grilled ham and cheese.

lol this is an issue I've had since I was a little kid. I can give you the pickle no problem, but the juice has already soaked my plate and made my bread soggy.

Then there's the ubiquitous confusion over "good" and "well." Lots of people seem to be aware there's a difference, however don't fully understand it. I was watching a post-gamer with a hockey player who said "I thought I had a well practice ..." (no !) and almost spit beer all over the TV.

And this one certainly grew legs in a hurry, didn't it?

when someone at work says to "reach out to". You mean talk to? Why didn't you say so? How about I reach out to you jerkface.
