[Emotional Enigma]

I hate it when it's done just for the sake of finding things to moan about, but you don't know the personal situation (although if it's not a genuine problem it should really be vented at friends instead of at the parent). For example there's been times when I've complained about my mother to other people and made some rather disrespectful comments. Does it come across as stupid, selfish and rather petty? To those that don't know the situation, quite possibly yes. But to those that know the situation? They say she's lucky I'm not screaming abuse at her and burning her house down.

But I do hate general argumentativeness, sassiness and kids who are just trying to start a row. I work in kids and the amount of times I want to say to the parents that their little brats don't deserve new things is insane, but I'm meant to be selling them the products, not encouraging them to leave.

I've said some not nice stuff as well but my mother is mentally abusive. I didn't even wish her happy mothers day and I'm sure to anyone outside of my immediate family would think its disrespectful. The point is, I don't owe her respect just to quell the public's outrage and I don't need to respect elders no matter what just because. That type of thinking kept her abusing me and kept me from talking to anyone.

As I mentioned in the first part of my post, not every parent is great there are some who are just lousy meaning I know I don't know every situation and I'm not going to pretend I do. You also don't know my reasons for posting this not that I really have to share them with anyone.

I am coming from a place of having seen and experienced first hand situations of people I do know being disrespectful to their parents who I also know for no other reason than being selfish assholes case in point the reason behind my post. I didn't realize I had to go into great detail about that on a thread where you should be able to talk about your personal peeves without needing to defend what you have said. You might agree, okay. You might not agree, that's okay too. Still, just because someone feels in a certain way doesn't mean you have to always jump in. Unless I have specifically called out your name or somehow detailed experiences from your life you feel you need to comment about, it has nothing to do with you personally.

Speaking of which, your personal story is your own, I don't know it and it is not my place to know it.
I don't want to get into some back and forth thing where after I say this, you say that. I say something more, you add the finisher it won't change anything. I stand by what I said, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it in the first place. You and anyone else don't have to like what I have said, it's all good. Regardless, it will still be a peeve of mine today and the days after. When you think about it, I'm just another person on the internet, my opinion should mean whatever.

Anywho, going to leave that right there. I am not saying anything else on it. That also means with anyone else too.
Let the peeves thread continue.


Another peeve of mine. When people feel things will get done if they shout and are generally nasty right off the bat. In retail for example, I can attest to this, store sales always change. Some may last a while others may not. Customers will come in shouting about the sales being different, they want the price that was advertised last month, cooperate will hear about this. What will any of that help? Where were you last month when the sale was going on? You think that argumentative attitude of yours will produce favorable results? Ah, nope.

Let's try to remember to be nice and respectful. Everyone is allowed to have an opinion and there isn't a need to be hostile about it or to shut someone down from discussing a topic.

Those people at the movies. We all know who, the one that slurps their soda when a sad, quiet scene is playing.
Ex.
(My first time watching Endgame.)
At the end, when Tony died, I heard the loudest noise you could EVER make with a straw and drink cup. Have some respect! Jeez.

Bruh I have one worse for you. When I went to see Endgame my sister brought all her kids. Well my sister let them all buy food and snacks and drinks then also let them LEAVE ALL THEIR TRASH IN THEIR SEATS at the end of the movie. I was so appalled and sad, like why are you like this?

What? Why? Who would do this? Just- the poor employees. And the next people who go the watch the movie.

No one is being hostile actually. I put a pet peeve that did not require a comment. Just as she had her opinion, I had mine. I didn't shut her down, I stopped the topic from going somewhere it shouldn't continue to go. End of discussion. I think by you putting in things that are not even the case is turning this into something it shouldn't be. Anyway, you have a pleasant day

It's really hard not to get along with me - I'm super chill as long as you are super chill. It's when people have an attitude problem that'll set me off. Totally understandable if you just had a bad day, but some people cop an attitude all the time and always seem like they wanna argue. I don't like feeling as though I'm walking on egg shells when I'm talking to someone, out of fear I'll say one wrong thing and get my head bitten off. Damn, I'm just trying to have a good time.

I had one friend I had to drop a few years back who was always angry and bitter about something. Had something to complain about every single day. And always gave me an attitude for no reason, even if I was just pointing something out and making a quick comment for the sake of conversation. Well, misery loves company and I wasn't lovin' anything, so needless to say I cut that shit off. One of the best decisions I ever made and instantly felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.

Watching a show, Netflix for example, getting invested in said show to the point of anticipating another season only to find out it has been cancelled. I do the same thing with another show and no surprise it gets cancelled too.

Loud chewers.
Not just people who chew with their mouths open, no.
People who sound wet and sloppy somehow with their mouths shut while they chew.

And heavy breathing.
Yuck.​

I would chew loudly whilst breathing heavily just to piss you off but I don't have that level of co-ordination.

Chewing.
Menacingly. ​

Loud chewers and CHIP BAG CRINKLERS!!! Imagine the sound of loud chewing accompanied with the sound of hands digging into bags of chips. I try to straighten the bag and open it wide so I can just put my hand straight in there without so much noise.

(I love this thread. Although I have new pet peeves that I never knew I had...)
I hate it when people promote PETA, the largest kill shelter on the planet with a 70% kill rate or something like that. Does anyone remember their gross video game remakes? Or their other scare tactics?

Because I don't like greasy palms ( )...
I'll take the bag and actually fold it inside out so it's just a bowl of chips.
No noise, no grease on the back of my hands!

But on the term of snack pet peeves....
The fact that I can't ever seem to pick up more than 3 pieces of popcorn even if I'm double fisting the bag!!​

I've always found it... intriguing whenever PETA has gone after other companies/games that do have animal pelts used in them ~ not literal pelts but computer generated ones.. ya'know, not real.. no foxes or wolves were harmed in the making of these outfits.. not real ones at least

Much like when the Red Cross went after video games for using their symbol on health-kits for your character to use.. I think they should be using those donated funds for something a bit more... productive.

Yeah, they should use their money to do things like, oh I don't know, donate to animal sanctuaries? But no, they waste it.
