Pet Peeves

When people take playing a silly game, like a card game or a board game, so seriously that they get competitive to the point that they're angry and acting like sore losers, and insist on re-doing the game until they win. That makes it no longer fun for anyone else.

Anyone have pet peeves they would like to share? We might all have something in common.
It may be odd but my pet-peeve is the social norm of working in a service position and being expected to always be smiling, happy, and talkative. If not, you're considered rude and unfriendly.

Just leg me bag your groceries and send you on your merry way.

*edit* also, what really bothers me is filler words! I loathe them because frankly, sometimes they're just...so unnecessary. For example: "I'm taking my cat to the vet because of _x_ issue--life isn't going so well, lol." WHY? It's removing all seriousness from the conversation. /rant

This just reminds me of my pet peeve of people being talkative and conversational in general.

Like whenever my grandpa has to call someone on the phone (and I'm not talking about friends and family here), he always ends up making conversation with them about literally nothing.

These people have jobs to do, they can't be on the phone just talking to someone about whatever for like 10 minutes like you always do.

Or people who decide to make conversations in the check-out at a store or whatever and hold up the line.

Stop doing this!!!

I agree with you! I cannot relate to those who think one's job is the perfect place for forced conversation, simply because they can't...leave...

I think the worst part is when they feel embarrassed (like if something doesn't scan correctly), and keep extending a conversation because of this. Even once the issue is resolved. I think the people in line would be less irritated if you just left so we can all move on!

Conversations that begin with the word, "So." I find it jarring. Like I'm entering a conversation midway.

pet peeves. hmm let me see.... ignorant people, people who drive agressively, or drive in such a way, to irritate others, people who talk really slow in a condescending tone, and the worst one, high pitch noises. especially children squealing. squealing has caused me stress seizures before

People mixing up copyright and trademark. They're two different things.

You see it a lot with discussion about how Steamboat Willie is going to fall into public domain at the start of next year under current US copyright law. People act as if that means that Mickey Mouse, the character, will become public domain. He won't, Mickey Mouse is a trademark of The Walt Disney Company and unlike copyrights, trademarks don't expire so long as they're in active use - and obviously Disney still actively uses Mickey Mouse.

A good comparison would be Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, 70 Looney Tunes cartoons and 50 Merrie Melodies cartoons have fallen into the public domain in the US. Some of these public domain cartoons feature characters like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig but those characters aren't public domain since Warner Bros still has the trademark on them and they still use those characters. You can do whatever you want with those public domain cartoons - upload them to your YouTube channel, burn them onto DVD and sell them for $5 a pop at a flea market, give them a comedic redubbing, whatever. But you can't like make your own Bugs Bunny cartoon and try and sell it, y'know?

My pet peeves include people humming or singing. Another pet peeve, if you can call it that, is flashing yellow lights at intersections. No one does what they're supposed to do or when they're supposed to do it!

Anything can be a pet peeve, even if it's just temporary or linked to the way you're feeling at the time.

Seeing that someone has improperly used "Their", "There", or "They're".

Seeing that someone has improperly used "Yore", "You're", or "Your".

People who get angry at people who correct spelling/grammar errors. Hey, we're only trying to be helpful! Lol

Images in advertising that look overly fake to the point it’s disconnected from reality (usually floating hands/arms, scaling of item(s) being inaccurate, or using a weird gimmick for the advertisement (like a tiny shopping cart filled with cash or tying a string onto your finger so you’ll remember to do something)

Girls that pretend they are fine with different body types and then they feel better because they are skinny and I do not want to shame others because lots of woman even skinny woman may be easily influenced by what they absorb in their lives so they are used to being that and getting certain privileges plus size woman do not especially generation Z

These look like catapillers
I think those are a bit busy like it would not be easy letting those stay.
But I think some people naturally have bushy ones and you should work with what you have and think thick ones look good on some people but I think it is brave woman who work with their with thick ones because it just feel weird having thick ones and like putting makeup on them that is why I like mine on the smaller size.
But you know we people who have thick ones are actually really beautiful and it becomes like their thing and then they become.like famous models because of it because they are actually beautiful.
But over plucking them is a nightmare too and really thin ones can look worse than thick. Yes and sometimes it is easy enough to do when plucking too.
Some people might accidentally pluck or wax them all off.

When people's friends or family members post on someone else's Facebook timeline from their phone so it looked like it was that person who posted it. So pointless, misleading and childish.
