RoysPlayThing 0 #1 April 20, 2004 Here are a few of mine to begin with: 1. When they fill a potato chip bag half way... fill the rest with air, and slap on a large price tag. 2. Two faced people. 3. Phony people 4. Parachutes that match the sky 5. Junk Mail 6. When a guy says, "pull my finger" and thinks its funny. 7. Show off's 8. People that talk about you that don't even know you. 9. Mean people I'm sure I can think of more.... I'd like to hear about some skydiving pet peeves.. _______________________________________________ My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.

AggieDave 6 #2 April 20, 2004 Ok, first of all, farts ARE funny, I promise you atelast 90% of the guys you know think that. Pet peeves? People going slow in the hammer lane and not moving over. People driving poorly due to chatting on a cell phone, eating, etc. People who tailgate me when there's no way for me to go faster or move out of their way. (heavy traffic). That's all I can think of, but that's probably due to the fact that I just got back from running some errands around town in my truck.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

I would like to add people who dont respect other peoples belongings. yelling slamming doors those are some, but here are my skydiving pet peeves.... kids at a dropzone that run back and forth through the packing area. dogs at a dropzone that run back and forth through the packing area. a group that takes longer than necessary in the door of the plane. people who don't own up to their farts on a plane so you can congratulate them on a job well done! im sure I can think of more, but that is all for now. my power is beyond your understanding.

elfanie 0 #16 April 20, 2004 My pet peeves... 1. stupid people - you know, the kind you look at and think, "you're kidding, right? you really can't be THAT stupid!" 2. when people don't use proper English. "I done went to the store yesterday.' 3. when people say, "probly" instead of "probably". When people say, "I could care less what you think!" when what they really mean is that they couldn't care less. 4. mean people (see "stupid people"...as they often fall into the same catagory) 5. Doctors who think that they sit at the right hand of God and how dare you question them! (this is specifically related to my line of work...where I see time and time again these arrogant doctors who try desperately to strip women of informed decisions and don't respect their right to make informed decisions) 6. finding something that aught not to be in my food...in my food, and thus ruining my appetite for the rest of the meal. (finding a hair in it...an egg shell in the egg...a bone in the hamburger...etc) 7. people who swear loudly in public 8. Lies. Period. Lies I absolutely can not tolerate and can't stand!! 9. Skygods...who act like unless you have X number of years and X number of jumps in the sport, you can't know ANYTHING. Same complex as the Doctor complex (see above). Just because I'm not an anesthesiologist doesn't mean that I don't know the pros and cons of an epidural - I can read!! Same thing in skydiving...just because I haven't experienced every malfunction there is, or haven't seen X number of people pound in doesn't mean that I don't know ANYTHING...and doesn't mean that I can't form opinions. 10. That I have to grow old...and that I have to eventually die. Man, that pisses me off. -------------------------------------------- Elfanie My Skydiving Page Fly Safe - Soft Landings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BikerBabe 0 #17 April 20, 2004 1. Improper use of the English language in general. Poor spelling and grammar, apostrophes, your/you're, there/their/they're, its/it's, broke/broken: all fall into this category. ARGH! 1a (corollary): NUCULAR!!!! Acrost! Excape! Warsh!AUUUUUGGGHHHHHH! 2. Stupid people. I don't mean uneducated. I mean people who don't have an ounce of common sense. 3. People who SLOW DOWN in the merge lane when getting onto the freeway. 4. People who kill motorcyclists in their car, get convicted of "failure to yield" and get a fine of $70 as a punishment. Yes, it happens every day. This one seriously pisses me off. 5. kiddies on the net who use l33t speak. Or any other fake text-messaging style "language". This is obviously related to Pet Peeve #1. Question for the masses...does any other language have an equivalent to l33t? Like, is there czechoslovakian l33t? Chinese l33t? I have a hard time picturing it...Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dagny 0 #20 April 20, 2004 Quote Pet Peeves Hmmm....my pet peeves: When the dog pees on the floor. When my cat decides that the best place to sit in the WHOLE room is right on top of the book I'm reading. Oh, and when the cat makes biscuits on my hair all night long! That's what we're talking about, right? Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turtlespeed 226 #21 April 20, 2004 1) People that make posts about pet peeves 2) Cigarettes - because they are addicting - and smell bad - and I find it difficult to quit 3) slow metabolisms 4) alot of other isms 5) Grammar Policia 6) the absence of an emoticon that has one raised eyebrow.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously... just when I think he really can't be that dumb, he proves me wrong. #2 and 3 describe my sister-in-law. I have a LIST of pet peeves... but I don't want to seem stuck up! My top 2... Leaving the cordless phone off the hook all the time (ie. all night)... and leaving trash laying around when the trash can is less than 2 feet away!
