 Re: Pet Peeves People, usually Yanks, that think sarcasm is the pinnacle of humour. They don't understand when you use reverse-sarcasm, and they just think that you didn't understand their initial sarcastic comment. This is annoying, but also kind of funny, because they really are that stupid.

Re: Pet Peeves For a while I HATED the people that feel the need to post "First like!" or "First comment!". And while I do still hate them, I think I hate the people that make fun of them, more. Let them have their stupid comment, you're just wasting even more time pointing out how stupid it is.
Who do they think they are? getluv?!

Re: Pet Peeves I don't like the people that post on YouTube, usually on dance music or something: "came for them girl, stayed for the music". It's on almost every video.
Although I did see a funny one the ther day:
"Came for the chick. Stayed for the beats. Left for porn"

Re: Pet Peeves I agree with YouTube comments. Though they aren't as bad as Yahoo comments (the worst of the worst), they are still pretty bad.
The worst are probably on the music videos where you see "like if you are watching in 2013!" Definition of attention whore.

Indian people.
Especially being the lift with them, or in close proximity to them. They stink like fucking shit. I don't know why they smell so bad, and I don't care either, all I know is that I want them away from me. Jesus Christ, what a pong.

Re: Pet Peeves I might have already mentioned it, but...
"could care less" - how did that came into being as a version of "couldn't care less"?! I mean it literally means the opposite of what people are trying to express when they are saying it!

Re: Pet Peeves It is only a "version" of it because people are idiots and unwilling/unable to understand. Stubborn morons.

Re: Pet Peeves I absolutely hate it if I have a runny nose, especially while driving. It drives me NUTS. Like, I will legitimately get angry at everything until I can blow my nose.

Re: Pet Peeves Public breakfast eaters. Not McDonald's/Starbucks public, I'm talking at the bus stop, on the bus, walking on the street breakfast eaters. Grinds my gears. Looks so unsightly, partly because people tend to have no concept of how one should eat when others are watching.

Re: Pet Peeves Smelly shampoo.
People wearing sweatpants in public (scratch that, ever)
when people sit with me at meals and don't talk to me. Like just eat alone them
When people leave their dirty clothes on the floor.
When people act super flirty with everyone but never make a move on anyone

Re: Pet Peeves I work at a grocery store right now and people who leave stuff on the wrong shelf are so annoying. Especially when it's like halfway across the store. Also, old people

Also, old people I haven't worked in a grocery store in like 10 years and this still pisses me off. It is rude and leads to spoiled food. Yogurt in the dogfood area was common.
