Re: Pet Peeves Lafin Atchu wrote: Another one: This happened to me last night and it was just like  Handing your phone over to someone to show them something, and then they go elsewhere on your phone and look at other shit without asking. Doesn't matter how close I am to that person, when they start looking at photos or what not it just makes me wanna holler. It makes no sense to do that: "Hey, I trust you enough to hold the phone and look at the content" "Okay, now I'll look at the completely unrelated content!" Admittedly, this is somewhat of a vent.  Umm, who the fuck would do that? _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: Pet Peeves It's the same with laptops and PCs. I guess that's why they're called personal computers. Don't let people look at them or even touch them for a second.

Re: Pet Peeves I mean, its obviously worse when it's people you don't know, but I'm referring to those I'm close to who interpret me handing them the device as license to go Patriot Act all over it just because we're friends. It's not even that they aren't trustworthy people, they just assume you wouldn't mind so they don't consider manners or boundaries. Maybe that's just me being introverted/paranoid.

Re: Pet Peeves No, no, it's not just you. It is annoying when that happens, and when I do that, I'm there with my hand ready to snap it back after 5 seconds.

Re: Pet Peeves Yeah, that's annoying when people do that. People at work always ask to use my phone becuase theirs is dead. I don't have anything to hide, but I sometimes wonder if anyone ever does that.
My ex boyfriend was notorious for snooping. I could not set my phone down for a minute without him picking it up to spy on me basically. Then he would get on the online verizon account and make sure I hadn't deleted any phone calls or texts off my phone. And he would get on my email or facebook or whatever and he actually deleted a lot of my contacts because he was a jealous psycho.
So yeah, I'm always wondering how many other people get nosy when they have possession of other peoples phones or computers.

Took me a second, but now I get what you're saying. I wouldn't order clothes by phone! I'm totally abnormally proportioned, I have to try something on before I buy it. Duh! _________________

Re: Pet Peeves Down syndrome and mongrel people.
The noises they make really piss me off. And they're horrible to look at too. I know this may seem mean, but it's the truth, and I'm not saying they should all be executed, just that they annoy me.

You'd probably go insane. Imagine that at a Stallone movie you've been waiting for to see for months  I was pissed off, but not at the guy. Its his condition and he cannot do anything about it. I was, however, pissed off at the morons who were supposed to look after him (two guys), but who apparently wanted to see a film and broight him along because they didn't want to leave him somewhere else, but frankly didn't seem to give a shit about him or the rest of the people in the audience. After 40 minutes or so, they had the decency to leave. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

I understand what you're saying, though, as I get equally pissed off at parents when they bring their noisy kids to see an adult movie (in China). The kids obviously don't give a shit about the movie so they are screaming, talking, playing etc., and the parents selfishly don't give a shit, they just watch the movie and do not care about the rest of the people who have paid to see the movie. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

Re: Pet Peeves What about fat Americans who complain about lazy people, when they themselves are lazy and racist?

Re: Pet Peeves I don't mind racism unless it affects me. I've never seen or heard of a fat Yank complaining about lazy people, probably because it's too much effort for them to do so.
