Pet peeves...share yours!

People who move to the country then moan about the cow sh# smell. The worst, boy racers in their Halford Heros with the bass music blasting out, I automatically shout "too much bass, turn the treble up", to which I sometimes get a confused look back.

When developers built a load of overpriced apartments next to our new marina, the new tenants immediately began complaining about the noises boats make, and fully expected boat owners to spend money to stop their masts clanging in the wind, you can't fix stupid, lol

My latest...anyone starting an argument with "I feel that..." As in the words of Ben S., "facts don't care about feelings". Any position started with those words should be disregarded, unless the topic is something to do with pain receptors.

The old "No problem" response to a thank you is mine as well, but that's been around a while.

People who say…

“It is, what it is” …

And

“That’s just your opinion”

Great, you just told me I have an opinion, and that what is…is! lol

Tell me something I don’t know…

And of course, it's even worse when you're stating facts!

Do you feel like they are obligated to say any more than that to you?

I think it's quite fair to remind people that they are spouting opinions. Especially when they think they are spouting facts.

I agree with this so much, and even hearing them chew. Drives me nuts.

People who go to the drive through ATM and block the ONLY ATM LANE to go to the TELLER instead of ANY OTHER LANE that has TELLER ONLY

F
F
S

It just makes me so angry!

What are you even doing up there, taking out a second mortgage on your home? It doesn't take twenty minutes to do whatever you're doing and YOU DON'T NEED TO BLOCK THE ONLY ATM LANE TO TALK TO THE HUMAN

Yet every SINGLE time I go there singe mouth breathing waste of resources has their piece of **** SUV parked in THE ATM LANE sharing their life story to the teller.

For years I've been baffled that people just can't seem to get the difference between lose and loose. Also people that put "a reply to" at the end of their posts. Dolts.

This is going to sound awful... But..

My let peeve is other people being peeved...

Examples:
-boohoo.. not sorry I'm standing super close to you in line, personal space isn't a life requirement
-boohoo... Not sorry I play music loud late at night,.or in my car
-boohoo... Not sorry you feel uncomfortable if I make out with a woman in public.

Everyone complains too much

a reply to: Zrtst


Loud talkers in public, especially if you see me talking to someone else at work, please do not interrupt.

Talking on the phone with drunk people, they repeat, and repeat # and hear nothing. Why did you call me???

People who throw their masks on the ground, thanks for your half a55ed compliance.

People who don’t pick up after themselves.

Yeah…I do!...because they’re both pointless statements on their own, without further explanations and insights etc…

Absolutely…

But they should be obligated to point that out (when/if they think it’s not a fact)…instead of just making that one statement on it’s own…

Point Number 1:
If I’m stating a fact and someone says “that’s just your opinion”, then that’s also my pet peeve, for obvious reasons…as they should be obligated to at least say they think it’s not a fact, and the reasons why etc…

Point Number 2:
In some contexts though, it’s stated when someone has just given their opinion…and the person giving their opinion knows that it’s just their opinion and isn’t claiming it to be a fact etc…

Then they reply with the usual …“That’s just your opinion”…

But in that context, it’s pretty much a pointless statement, which signifies nothing!…because of course it’s their opinion!…lol

Now admittedly they might have thought or presumed, that the person was speaking a fact, and then reminded them that it was just their opinion…but if that’s the case, then that goes back to point 1…as they should at least explain why they think what was stated, was not a fact…even though said person wasn’t actually speaking any facts lol to begin with…as they were just giving their opinion…

So either way, they’re obligated to at least add to the statement and not just leave it at that…

Hope that clears things up…

That's just your opinion man.

In all seriousness though. I say that quite often, because I have found that the majority of the time that someone decides to start rambling on about their views on things they try to present their opinions as facts, and I simply do not care enough to argue with them.

For instance, let's say we're at the bar or party, or some other social setting, and I'm drinking my pint of St. Bernardus or Delirium, and for whatever reason, let's say it's something that I said, you decide to regale me with your facts. The fact of the matter in that instance would be that I'm not obligated to believe a word that comes out of your mouth, and just to get under your skin I would purposefully say "That's just your opinion," especially if you don't even try to back it up with sources and such. Unless you're an expert in the field your talking about, and then I would only acquiesce in the slightest.

Furthermore, I'm not obligated to respond in any manner to any person with regard to conversation. To feel that others are obligated to respond to you in a manner you deem appropriate is ridiculous.

Next time someone says that you might want to make sure that your commentary wasn't unwarranted before getting peeved.

But I’m not looking at from that perspective…i.e. about whether someone is trying to present their opinions off as facts…But even if someone was doing that, then the response of “That’s just your opinion” still leaves the other person hanging and having to guess what they mean…

In the examples from my last reply I’m mainly looking at it from the perspective of someone using it as a response, to someone speaking a fact or someone just genuinely giving their opinion…

We’ll, of course you’re not obligated to believe what I’m saying on any issue…

But what if I was actually speaking a fact…what then…?...I’m now just left hanging as to what you mean by “That’s just your opinion” etc…Or, if I was just giving my opinion, I have to guess whether you think I was trying to pass those opinions off as facts…Is the onus on me to figure it out…?

Let’s flip this around…

We are at the bar, and you tell me a stone cold cast Iron fact…And I reply “That’s just your opinion” lol…How do you feel now…? Btw I don’t add to my statement, I just leave you hanging…

What’s ridiculous, is someone making said statement…and then not adding to, or expanding on it…That’s ridiculous.!!!

But the examples I gave were about someone speaking a Fact or just giving their opinion (they might even be doing both)…which when met with the Response “That’s just your opinion”, leaves the other person hanging as to what they really mean…unless they expand on it…

You did ask the question…

The answer is yes, for reasons already stated… I feel they should be obligated to at least expand on what they really mean…

Yodel-eh-HEE, Odle-odel-eh-hee-HOOOO! Odel-eh-HEE, Yodel-eh-hee-HOO.

I have a pet peeve. Overall, he's a good peeve, but I just get really angry when he goes out and finds the most absolutely stinky thing to roll around in right after I give him a bath!

It's like..."Gawd, Peeve, do you seriously actually think anyone appreciates that????"
