Im sitting here fighting a nasty cold today so I remembered one of my own pet peeves.
1) Post nasal drip. so annoying.
2) people who dont wash their hands after using the bathroom.
3) Old people drivers who drive no less than 10 km under the speed limit.

You asked for it...
People in general
Stupid ignorant people
People who act like they rule the world
Shrieking, giggling girls with high-pitched voices
Little kids
My sister
When people touch my stuff
Spelling/grammar errors (Coaster's doomed)
My grandparents insisting on walking me home (1 block) at night
When teachers decide to tell the entire class what work I don't have done (especially when I don't have a lot of work done)
When people argue with me/other people even though they know they're wrong
When the aforesaid people use the same incorrect arguments over and over (literature isn't a genre it's a type of book)
My uncle teasing me about being close friends with a guy
My dad always telling me to do something downstairs when I'm upstairs and my sister is sitting right in front of him
I could sit here and list these forever, but for the sake of peoples' minds, I won't. I guess I'm something of a perfectionist. So's the rest of my family...I wonder where I got it from... |

Rat, save time by just saying all people. Everyone falls into those categories in some way or the other..
Some just do it in a more bearable way. |

1. Wierdos. You know, where you're like the only person on the bus/train and then... the wierdo gets on and decides to sit behind you, reeking of booze and muttering about how cigarrettes are so expensive thesedays...
2. Yaahs. (spl?) Basically spoilt rich kids (often from Oxford, Eton etc.) who come to Universities up north (their 'daddies' buy them in) and think they're above everyone else, yet seem strangely unaware that everyone is laughing at them.
3. Those ring-pull tops you get on milk cartons now. The one's where the ring actually just comes straight off and you have to use a hammer, chisel and 10lb of semtex to get the rest of the cap off.
4. "GAP" adverts.
5. American tourists at Edinburgh Castle who say things like:
"What time does the one-o-clock gun go off?"
and
"It sure was nice of them to build the castle next to the railway station...".

Yeah, Gimbal, I'm with you on the shopkeeper one...why the hell are those guys so tough, anyway? The worst is when you accidentally teleport out of the shop with something, and they chase you all over the level till you're dead.
*ahem*
No, I'm not a nerd at all!
*ahem*
My pet peeve? People who let their children run amok in public places, screaming and yelling and breaking things. Faugh. Children. |

I thought I had the perfect plan to rid myself of those pesky shopkeepers once and for all. And no sooner then I put my plan into action...
"killed on level 9 by a scroll of genocide"
Whoopsie. I didn't exactly think that one through now did I? |

-Yeah, old people drivers I can agree with! Especially when you're in a real life or death hurry and they're happily crawling onling at snail pace!
Also; Arogant people that think they know everything and can do anything better than you.
People that give one liners on forums, or when you ask them for a detailed responce and they just say yes or no.
People that give you evil looks or treat you bad for not giving them tips (only happens in America)
Attention seekers (especially those that show crap artwork, but think they rule and deserve praise!)
People that break promises (especially concerning money!)
Clients that want constant changes done to artwork - especially when what they describe will look crap and does! |

Rat: "Spelling/grammar errors"
Which is why there is no punctuation in your sentances, right? =) whee!
My Pet Peeve? People. Why? Because I don't know where they've been. You're all filthy, rotten, putrid, horrific and disgustingly mean-spirited creatures. Each and every one of you; a cheating, lying, pile of shit encased in a decaying sack of flesh. |

people that think they know everything better than you and got nothing else to do except bitching.
OK, just generally, people. That's why i've locked myself to my cave where the sun doesn't shine, but I've got my computer and photoshop... So I'll survive. I prefer my online friends to my 'real' ones. |

Giant Hamster: I agree with you, exept on the 'decaying' part... technically the only people I'd enjoy meeting go under the category of decaying.
*people correcting my grammar/spelling... rat... |
