Pet Peeves

[gopher wes]

I can't stand it when people say "I could care less". If you didn't care in the first place, or don't care, then say "I couldn't care less."

this one gets me too....it doesnt make sense

[Gophan]

okay this one is strange... it bothers me when there are two light switches for the same light and they are in the wrong position. If the light is on, I like 'em up and if the light is off, I prefer them to be down. Strange, I know

The worst is bad table manners!

[Slap Shot]

My fat gut.

[HockeyBum]

Football players that execute elaborate touchdown celebrations in games that they are getting their asses handed to them in.

Or defensive players that make a big hit and act like they just won the Super Bowl (can anybody say Dwayne Rudd?) despite the fact they are losing badly in the game.

I think this is one of the biggest reasons I don't watch much football. The idiotic dancing and posing after making an ordinary tackle (doesn't even need to be a loss of yards)... the pointing gesture after someone catches a ball and makes a first down, etc... Football players, more than in any other sport, act like complete buffoons on and off the field.

[jallengarry]

How 'bout them F'ing mechanical/robot football players on Fox NFL broadcasts. The ugly droid that comes on after EVERY commercial and runs in place and tweaks his neck from side to side.......what the h@ll is that?

[Dances With Gophers]

Not winning the MN Millionaire Raffle. I can't call in rich tomorrow. @#$%!

[Greyeagle]

The Orange Bowl halftime show. Every year it makes me want to

4. People with little or no Common Sense

How about if we wrap this one up by just saying, "people who are so into themselves that they don't realize that there are other people on this planet besides themselves and morons who can't spell".

How about people who circle the gym parking lot for :20 looking to park as close to the front door as possible?

Excuse me - jackbag? you came to the gym to workout and you are worried about walking an extra 12 steps to get into the club???????

[Sioux/Bucky Hater]

I know it's been said and I want to reiterate:
1) People who don't use their blinkers.
2) Left lane Lucy and Larry. (The left lane is the passing lane, "slower traffic keep right")
3) DHG
4) Here is a new one- when gravel truck drivers don't cover their loads. What the hell is that tarp for anyway?

[Slap Shot]

Professional baseball players that wear their hat cocked and the teams that allow them to do it. Don't tell me teams can't stop it either. If the Yankees can make their players shave/cut their hair other teams can tell their players to look professional.

Just once I'd to pass by one these schmucks and say, "Hey, your hat is on straight" so I could watch them check to make sure it's still on crooked.

Also dirtbags that toss their cig butts out the window.

CC Sabathia comes to mind...maybe it's his head that's crooked.

As for the butt throwers, that irks me too...but then, that list includes everyone--and I mean everyone--that smokes in their car...you see, apparently they see fit to pollute a planet with something they don't want to dirty their ashtray with. Funny, if people threw chewing gum wrappers out the window they would be derided for littering...I guess we're supposed to make exceptions for dirty rotten smokers, though.

[dlw4gophers]

Even worse. The person that pulls up to a stop light and empties his ashtray in the street. What the hel** is with that.

[Fear the Gopher]

Also dirtbags that toss their cig butts out the window.

Amen.

While I don't smoke, I do drink, and it's not like I chuck the beer can out the window when I'm done...

[Thirty-Four]

Hey, I wouldn't object to that...at least the guys in the orange jump suits can find it.

[stelly18]

FIRE HAZARD!!! Turn them in!

[HockeyBum]

Restrooms that only have electric hand dryers instead of paper towels.

Going into what looks like the shortest checkout line at the store, only to have it end up taking longer than the other lines.

People that still write out checks at stores instead of using cards or cash (this is often the cause of the pet peeve above). If you absolutely must use a check, for god sakes... have most of it written out before your items are finished being scanned.

At a movie theater, having to sit through 25-30 minutes of commercials and previews before the movie starts.

People who come to this country and make no effort to learn English and assimilate to our culture.

Cashiers (usually teenage girls) who can't be bothered to at least say "Hi" or "Thank you". Worse, when they completely ignore you while they carry on a conversation with the cashier in the next lane. Grocery store cashiers seem to be the worst offenders.

My roommate says to toss some cayenne pepper in the shoes and they'll never leave 'em out there again.

I'm sooo with you on the last point. I've worked since I was 14 (I'm 32 now) and "in my day" you didn't pull that sh*t. There was a fear of punishment or something??? that made that behavior very rare. I want to say, "Excuse me, but can you shut the f*ck up and do what you're paid to do?" Argh! Thanks for the chance to vent.

[jamwall]

i don't know if anyone on this messageboard has these bumper stickers, but here goes.....

those "PROUD PARENT OF AN HONOR STUDENT" bumperstickers.

seeing those makes me wanna make a bumper sticker that reads:
"MY KID SOLD CRACK TO YOUR HONOR STUDENT"

[Zwak]

Does anyone ever watch KARE11 news in the morning. I HATE when they have Randy Shaver come on and do the sports as if it were live by saying things like "Last night the Gophers mens basketball team won". It is obvious it was taped at 10:45 the night before. It is increasingly evident when the game runs late so that there is no final by 10:45 so he has to say "Here's the final score' without actually saying it.

I'm not stupid. Don't insult my intelligence by trying to pretend you are doing it live.

[jamwall]

i haven't listened to the radio broadcasts of twins games for a few years.

but john gordon would drive me nuts. he had no depth perception.

for example, he would call a play like this:

"HRBEK HITS A LOOOOOOOOONG DRIVE!! WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BACK.....WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BACK!! WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BACK.......AND ITSSSSSSS..........caught at the warning track!...."

aargh!

[Superstar]

Speaking of cashiers....I hate it when you have your $10 ready, the total comes to $5.41 (or something), you hand them the $10 you already had out, but say "I have the change, too", but they're so unaware of anything that they don't hear you and punch in the $10 and you end up getting 4 ones, and a bunch more change that you wanted to get rid of in the first place. You wanna see something funny, though....give them the change AFTER they've already keyed in the $10 and watch them try to figure out how much they're supposed to give back. Oh, and another similar one...when the total is $12.78, you give them $23.03. First, they'll look at you like, "it's only $12.78, the $20 is enough." and try to give you back your $3. But then add in the $.03...I don't think I've ever once had someone "get it"....that I want one big bill and quarters back. That's when you want to yell..."You never thought you'd have a use for those math questions, huh?!?! Or haven't you covered that in class yet?!!"

Gordo is an A1 Hack...I don't even turn the radio dial up anymore when he starts in on the WAYYY BACK...and then CAUGHT!! OH MY!! Loser!

And his "Touch 'em all" thing has always worn on me like sandpaper...thankfully, the Twins have never hit many homers.

i was a grocery store cashier for many years. i was pretty good at dealing with people's change conflicts. but you do become a zombie after hours of ringing orders. its been over 7 years since i last worked as a cashier and i'm still having dreams that i'm ringing groceries.

Don't even get me started on teenagers. I'm going to generalize here but most of them drive me nuts. They think they are just sooooo cool. If one guy has his hat on backwards, so do his buddies I've always said that teenagers act their age by not acting their age.

In general I just don't like people who have to act sooo cool whether they're a teenager or not.

Yeah it used to be like that when I worked when I was younger too, now that I am a store manager, if I see this happening, I have to document it, have a meeting with the associate and their supervisor, find out if there is anything going on in their life, let them know that customer service is why we come to work, sned them back out on the floor after telling them that I appreciate all of their hard work and to let me know if there is anything I can do for them, then if I see it again, I have to do it all over again, 3 times total before I can have a "final" conversation and then when it happens the 4th time, I can "let them go" Meanwhile, my upset customers not coming back to the store has cost us thousands of dollars in lost sales, yet we fire cashiers on the spot for their drawers being $50 short. This day and age, with Human Resources, hurt egos and low self-esteem you can't do anything to anyone anymore without a paper trail 10 miles long......my pet peeve.

How 'bout teenage drivers? First the ones who drive daddy's car around...and go 80mph through rush hour traffic. You almost wanna move out in front of them so they hit you. And I would if I had some piece of a car! But then on Sunday during the snowstorm. Cars were sliding all over the place, and there were 4 teenage boys in a little Chevy pick-up...with the back window open. The kid in the back had made snowballs from the snow in the back and was going to throw them at cars passing them. He just had this HUGE grin on his face like, "Haha! I'm so funny and cool!" He didn't think I saw him and he was ready to throw one at me...I TOTALLY flipped him off and mouthed some obscenities. I was amazed he actually looked like he'd been scolded and didn't throw it! But teenage drivers are the worst!

[Go4 Guy]

My pet peeve is constantly reading / seeing / hearing about somebody who is offended by someone else... somewhere along the way people have come to think that they have the constitution right to not be offended.

There are many things in this world that i would term offensive, but the last thing I am going to do is sit and whine about it.

[cphockeyman]

My biggest pet peeve, at least here on GPL, is people who whine about "corpies" or not being able to get tickets to a game. Then, these same people are the one's who try to lowball the people who use the marketplace to sell unused tickets! Like the season ticket holders are supposed to discount the tickets they paid full price for so some other person can go, then come back and whine on GPL about the empty "corpie" seats and the $8.00 parking!

(Ahhh it feels good to vent)

[Thomps]

Another example of stupid teen cashiers....
I was at Papa Murphys picking up two pizza this weekend for New Years. I had a coupon for $1 off the pizzas, making a $9.99 pizza $8.99. Simple stuff. Well, my little Einstein rang it up for $16.98 for the two pizzas. She ran my credit card, and she couldn't get it to work, twice! So I said fine, here is $20. She looked at me with a blank stare.... she had to ask the manager how to make change. So the manager makes change, and the cashier says "I am not very good at math."........ umm.... duh!

While it is obviously sad and tragic, it really bothers me when you hear about teenagers killed and/or injured in a car crash because they weren't wearing a seatbelt. They must think it is too cool to wear them.

Thank-you GG33 for demonstrating ANOTHER pet peeve of mine. People who brag to others about being in warmer weather. Maybe I like it cold...ever think about that?!?!?!

Did you leave the game early? After reading Fat Pat today sounds like I would have. Luv ya SS!

Actually, I ended up getting front row seats to the T-Wolves game instead. It sounds like I missed a good 2nd half of the Gopher game, but, the Wolves game last night (especially where our seats were) was much better!!!!

as minnesotans, we can do that to colorado and other surrounding states that have been buried under snow for the past few weeks!

Driving Pet Peeves...
- When people can't figure out that you need to accelerate to the speed of traffic when entering a highway. You should not be going 35mph by the time you plan to merge in to traffic!
- Cigarette butt throwers... That's littering idiot!!!
- Car dealerships that are lit up light Christmas trees. Do you really need that much light? The glare that comes from them while driving by is awful! Can you say waste of electricity too?
- Blacktop roads... When it's raining, you have little chance of actually seeing the lines on the road.
- Left Lane Losers... MOVE OVER TO THE RIGHT!!!!!
- Getting stuck behind a Diesel Truck... It always makes me feel a bit queasy.
- The timed stoplights in Minneapolis...
- The Hwy 62 / 35W commons area.


Other Pet Peeves:
- People that mess up the "quote" feature on GPL.
- Pants that hang below your butt.
- Learn English!!!! If I were to move to another country, I would be expected to learn the native language. Why can't people who come here do the same? For some reason for the first 220 years of our countries existence, immigrants learned English. Now we just cater to everyone!!!!
- When calling customer service for something, you are sent to a calling center located in Southeast Asia.... Good luck with that call!!! Oh.. You can add automated phone systems to that too!
- Politicians
- Grammar/Spelling Police.... It's a fricken message board, not a resume.
- TV Commercials that are much louder than the program you were watching.
- Media/People's obsession with celebrity.
- When a waiter/waitress does not write your order down... Then either gets your order wrong or comes back and asks what you wanted again. There is this thing called pen and paper... Use it!!!
- Sump Pumps.... GRRRRRR!!!!!!!
- Empty seats in Mariucci....


I'm sure I will think of more....

[jamwall]

wally shaver's pronounciation of the words "again" and "against."

I don't see much difference between these two. If you can speak it, you should be able to read it. And if you can read it, you should be able to write it.

Anyway, you wouldn't tolerate an adult speaking like an eight year old, why would you put up with them spelling like one?

- Learn English!!!! If I were to move to another country, I would be expected to learn the native language. Why can't people who come here do the same? For some reason for the first 220 years of our countries existence, immigrants learned English. Now we just cater to everyone!!!!

Exactly. There's a difference between a typo and showing off your 5th grade hillbilly edumacashun.

Could any other pet peeve topple this one? I don't think so.

How about a neocon who donated his entire salary to a charitable cause, say for homeless people or veterans or retarded citizens...something like that? Now, that would create a tasty dilemma for you wouldn't it?

You proceed on an entrance ramp following a slower moving vehicle only to have the idiot(s) directly behind you pull out and around you before you have a chance to safely pass the slower vehicle.

Geez Louise, if I really must explain...in another thread you cited Dayton's largesse as the sole reason you would vote for him; he's a dyed-in-the-wool DUMBACRAT. Now, you claim that neocons, ultra conservatives, peeve you. Given these two data points I attempted, without much success mind you, to connect the dots by offering you a paradox, a political conundrum, if you will. If a political candidate need only donate his salary to charity to garner your vote, what would you do in the case of a charity donating neocon? Lemme guess...vote DUMBACRAT!

Try reading a little more carefully...and lighten up, if just a little; politics is not the subject. It's the paradox.
