Pet peeves

Guys who look like that have nice muscular butts, but when you touch it, it's obviously been artificially enhanced with Fix-A-Flat.

Hey, R1 - how's your ass, gurlfriend?

Men who cum too quickly

People that come into my office and start talking when I am on the phone with someone else.. My boss does this constantly. Pisses me off!

Stores that don't have automatic doors.

Get with the fucking program.

People who are obviously sheltered and housebound attempting to put on airs of being cynical and streetwise.

You see it a lot on the political threads here.

These aren't pet peeves, they're just peeves.

People who don't fucking say 'thank you' when I hold the door for them.

And people who can't be bothered to hold the door for others

People who are constantly on their phone in public and can't hang up the call to handle their business. If you are speaking to someone on the phone, then don't get in the checkout line, trash. Have a shred of decency. Hang up your call, so you can interact like a human.

Hookups who don't realize it's JUST A HOOKUP. We both came. You wiped up, now head out. This isn't a date. You got your load, end of conversation. See ya. We met on Grindr, not out on a date. This is about the fuckening, and it's done, show yourself out. Quit lingering.

Political threads taking over DL instead of threads like this. I'd infinitely rather read you bitches bitching about the things other people do in restaurants to piss you off, the foods you hate / love / hate someone for loving / hate someone for hating, or what makes your dick wilt in porn, than even one more word about Trump. That ugly man's image has all but taken over the Datalounge. I am so grateful to this OP for this humble little non-Trump thread.

Oh, and my pettest peeve is having to listen to anyone's smartphone for any reason whatsoever. I don't want to hear your songs, your conversation, your games, etc., on those tinny little shit speakers ever. USE YOUR HEADPHONES OR EARBUDS, BITCH!!!

R12 - totally agree with all those points. I see (saw) the lack of headphones a LOT in airports of all places. Put your fucking earbuds in, assholes!

[QUOTE]I hate movies supposedly set in the US but obviously filmed somewhere else.

In similar fashion, I laugh (not necessarily out loud) when I see a movie, usually a TV movie, that supposedly takes place in an eastern US city in which we see palm trees on, for example, the George Washington Parkway in DC/VA.

People who don't reply to messages

r13, I was in Nordstrom's men's shoe department last week. Two employees, one a supervisor, were attempting to talk—conversate?—with each other while the supervisor's phone was playing music on speaker. I don't know how the one without his phone going managed not to kill the bitch with the phone.

At one point, he gave me a "look what I have to put up with" eyeroll. I felt so bad for him. I'm ancient, and I remember when Nordstrom was the better place to shop for clothing. Now, just another bastion of pricey trash.

"Rest in power"

Shut the fuck up with that.

R16 converse*

You don't [italic]know[/italic] that, r18. Not with that pair.

People who walk on sidewalks oblivious to the fact that others may want to get around them, or even share the sidewalk. The worst, in my neighborhood, are soccer moms who apparently don't have jobs. They walk 3 across the entire sidewalk and have no clue that someone might be walking toward them, needing 1/2 the sidewalk.

R19 - what are you talking about?

People who insist on getting a full, personal answer to "How are you?" Bitch, that's not what this is about. Get out of my face.

People who address people as "bitch".

Seen a lot lately: “He was feeling poorly” and “I feel badly about that.” Neither of these is correct unless your sense of touch is not working.

Fake people, with fake laughs, and fake greetings.

"Heyyyyyyy, how are youuuuuuu?" Puke.

Over-the-top queens who exaggerate everything. "OMG THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!" Is it awesome? Or just good?

OMG LMAO TOO FUNNY. You laughed your ass off at a silly meme? It's TOO funny? Or just mildly humorous?

Why exaggerate everything? Not everything can be FANTASTIC, OMG AWESOME, AMAZING.

True, r26, but it's hardly just queens who exaggerate that way.

chewing

This time of year when Trader Joe's goes completely insane with their pumpkin spice products.

I don't need pumpkin spice pasta. Yuck.

R20 - this is where being a DL Fat Whore is a bonus.

Body checking inattentive people is fun.

R30 I needed that laugh, thank you

Retired old people who go to the grocery store on Sundays when they could just as easily go during the week. Excuse me, Granny, but some of us have jobs and can only GO to the store on weekends. Maybe plan ahead so you don't run out of Fancy Feast until Monday?

Funny, halfway decent guys who have carried on a conversation with me online, and out of the blue ghost me. At least have the balls to say you don't want to talk anymore.

Nosy people. If I want you to know something, I will tell you. If I clearly don't feel comfortable answering a question, then just drop it. Don't keep pressing.

People at work who have to tell you their personal crap, what they did over the weekend, etc. It's work. The meeting starts at 8:00? By 8:01 we should be into the meeting contents, not still talking about people's weekend activities. I do not care. You are not my friend, you are my coworker.

Narcissistic assholes like r32 who think they own the grocery store, or any other public venue, even if only at certain times of day / week. I'm sure you're equally insufferable in every area.

That said, I generally do shop in the morning on weekdays. But an "elder" friend still works, and can only shop on Saturdays. I'm sure he has no idea he is engendering the hatred of such a simpleton.

People who leave obnoxiously long voicemails. I have a friend who routinely treats my voicemail as an opportunity to have a lengthy one-sided conversation. Actually, any voicemail over :30 gets on my nerves. Just do your business and get the fuck off.

American actors trying to do Irish accents.

Television and radio stations who hire young women with vocal fry.

1,000,000 WWs for r39.

In Manhattan, people who line-up at food carts across the sidewalk, inside of parallel to the curb.

R20, when I gave Walking Tours in New York, we told people in the group to walk two-by-two "like Noah's ark," to avoid clogging up the sidewalk.

Or high voices R39. I don't care if it gives them nodes on their vocal whatever, lower your voice. Pretend you are Martha Stewart. Walter Cronkite is getting a an earache in his grave.

And local news and weather people act like fucking clowns. Pretend you are a dignified adult. Who, what, when, where and how.

People who ghost you and then reemerge pretending it was you who dropped off.

Newscasters who don't speak in complete sentences. Sometime during the past 10 years, it became fashionable for them to use gerunds instead of verbs, or omit verbs entirely. Just watch David Muir for more than 15 seconds. Where a normal person might say, "President Trump is back in the White House tonight after leaving the hospital. His doctors say he is doing well, but some medical experts are skeptical" , Muir might say, "Tonight, President Trump, back in the White House. Doctors saying he's doing well. Medical experts, not so sure."

They ALL do it on ABC now.

People who mumble hateful shit under their breath when they're mad. Are you a toddler? Are you doing a soliloquy?

Shepard Smith, r46, starting it 20+ years ago

People who repeat your points at meetings as if they are theirs.

People who act like sex and nudity in a movie is some horrible, wicked thing yet gruesome blood, violence, and torture of any kind is A-OK.

Septum piercings,

Any nose piercings on men,

slurping noises (for food and drink). I was on a meditation retreat for 10 days and this Chinese dude would always sit next to me during lunch. We had to be almost completely silent during the whole retreat. He would constantly slurp his food as loud as possible. It was so disgusting.

Burps.

Wolf Blitzer ending each show with "May their [something] be a [something] and their memory a blessing."

Save it for a Hallmark condolence card, you boring bitch.

People who never use turn signals. It's a real asshole move. There's no reason not to let people know you're either changing lanes or you're turning at the next intersection. "I do what I want when I want!" is the message it sends.

Pedestrians dragging their asses across crosswalks when cars are waiting to advance into an intersection. Unless you are elderly or injured, please move it along! Chafing is not considered an injury.

In general, displays of a lack of situational awareness are annoying. Look around, assess the situation and take other people's needs into consideration.

Pets who peeve me.

When someone you love totally loses their mind and turns into a QAnon idiot. They pack their brains in cement and cause their friends and family nothing but pain.

People who call their pets "furkids."

The word "fixins"... We are having turkey with all the fixins for Thanksgiving. However it doesn't bother me for someone to say, "I'm fixin to got to the store, do you need anything?"

Assholes that have to write nasty comments on everything on DL. Comfort Food? Your are all obese! Bette Davis? Hag! Sex? You're All Gonna Die! Some people just have to shit on everything.

Yummy!

Yum!

People who use the word "literally." Pretty much every single time it's used, it's not appropriate. I LITERALLY have to pee so bad. She was literally like 5 minutes late. That is literally my favorite place EVER.

People who leave me voicemails at work and say their phone numbers so fast I have to listen to the message 5 times. and still can't make out the phone number.

People who don't hustle their dogs back into the house when they're in the back yard barking.

People who leave me voicemails at work and give me a phone number to call back but forget to mention I need to know which button on the menu to hit in order to reach them.

People on airplanes who try to race to the front as soon as the okay to unfasten your seatbelt sign comes on.

When I am trying to make a difficult left turn as the light turns red, and a car coming toward me flies through the intersection.

In New York, people who line-up at food carts across the sidewalk, inside of parallel with the curb.

Inserting "based" with a city. "I'm Brooklyn-based." Just say "I live in Brooklyn."

People who can't make a fucking decision in any situation. "Where would you like to eat tonight?" Oh, it doesn't matter. "Oh ok, how about that Italian place?" Well, I'm not really in the mood for Italian. "Okay, there's some new sushi place that just opened, we could check it out." I'm not in the mood for sushi, really.

THEN NAME A FUCKING PLACE YOU SPINELESS TWIT.

People, especially athletes in contact sports, who say they “will never forget” something or another. Really?! We had a president who forgot he was president.
