Your top pet peeves.

Seemingly intelligent people writing "I should of known" or "I would of checked" - common on British car forums.

 

Boorishness in general. Distracted taxi drivers on the road. Using smartphones in a restaurant. People who complain all the time, which seems to be the Polish national trait.

Shouldn't it be "I should have known"?

I agree with you with the smartphone one. I find being glued to your smartphone in public completely rude and anti-social. Just an example of how unclassy we humans have become. .

PEOPLE WHO TYPE EVERYTHING IN ALL CAPS on web and news forums, or put everything in bold or other font types. EVEN WORSE, SOME COMBINATION OF THE ABOVE.  :) 

The former presumably means they are shouting and the latter I presume is for some additional emphasis/attention... other than it makes the posts harder to read, and therefore less likely to be read.

People always staring at their phone.   :thumbsdown:

On a similar note:

 

 

People who simply can not sit through an entire movie without checking their phone!  Had one in front of me the other day when I took my grandson to see the Avengers.  After a few times I leaned forward and told the kid "If I see that phone light up one more time you're gonna lose it!"    Strangely it never lit up again!   ;)

Me and my best friend went with another one of our friends and his girlfriend, and my god..we were trying to enjoy the Avengers and they kept kissing and putting us off, I know a cinema is a classic romance spot, but c'mon after the movie is over! xD  :)

Similar to people misusing your instead of you're as the short form of you are. Makes me crazy and we see it everywhere on forums.

In the theaters here, they tell you to turn off your phone, and if you don't and are using it during the movie, they will escort you out.  As it should be.

Sounds good but I've never seen anyone escorted out of a theater yet. In fact I can't remember the last time I saw an usher in a movie theater.

 

I don't understand why they can't just jam the signal in movie theaters. If you can't do without your phone for 2 hours then wait for video!

Parents who say your a smart kid you'll figure it out in a nasty tone when a kid is obsseselvely asking something lol oh yeah that'll inspire higher education lol

 

and bad music that sounds like a headache recorded to tape, such as what was being played in the dance hall above the bar a few weeks if not a month ago

 

seriously it sounded as bad as a car alarm on loop, and actually I think there was a song in gta 5 that was just as bad, although I Understandably never wanted to look it up.

 

its like a polka song with someone just playing the two notes over and over and over.

My all-time favorite grammar mistake (NOT!)

 

Axe me a question.

 

Think I might recharacterize this one as anything originating from Ebonics is enough to make me cringe.  "WHADDUP!?!?!?"

Good lord, GTA V....

 

I thought that song (the two notes)  was part of the original soundtrack at first for fast paced driving,  it doesn't sound like a radio song.

Yup that's the one, except this one at the bar was worse, you know that pounding feeling you have from your heartbeat when you have a headache, it was that on tape, and remixed into that kind of a beat.

 

it ruined a good day of pool too, like it would stop for a sec so you'd be like thank the lord, and then back on again, so I could never get into the game.

 

and I swear that music video is like an ebodyment of an MST3k Joke at 0:10

and its living proof that he's wrong lol

Anything that we are forced to endure in the media related to the Kardashians or Bruce, call me Caitlyn, Jenner.

Crimes against music...

 

The parkinsonian "keyboard player" is blind: he believes he's got a conga under his hands.

 

Pretty bikini chick, anyway ;-)

I usually stick with "he" on this one.

 

Born a male, has male DNA, therefore = he. And I don't care what anybody else things, I find the idea of sex-changes disgusting and an abomination to the human race, and insulting to God.

eh all I can say is meh, go menace a wall somewhere else please lol and well I can add to that facebook post

 

http://miamiviceonline.com/index.php/topic/12134-the-problems-with-pg-13/

 

as I think this is a far more interesting topic than some guy getting his balls lobbed off and going call me marry, and potentally matters to a society as a whole, a whole lot more than that.

 

I mean its one thing if some guy is gay and wants acceptance, fine, whatever, you do what ever the hell you want in this life, its your issue, not mine, and I dont judge as long as its legal, your voice doesnt annoy the crap out of me, and you dont make me wanna go grow the fuck up and act like a man god damn it with a fake femmy voice and annoying manerismns

 

and you dont hit on me, and keep doing it after I say I dont swing that way.

 

as theres this frosted flake idiot they keep showing ads for, some reality tv show, with a guy with a family that just makes me wanna go niko bellic on him with how annoying he is along with his voice, as he fits into all those catagory's really.

 

as if that's supposed to be masculinity and being a tough guy (as he tries, and fails to menace his own kids in the ad) I think he must have bought into some cheap knockoff brand at the local dollar store with the way he sounds and acts lol.

 

but that however, you'd better be upfront that you used to be a man, although with those cheek bones, its a dead giveaway he was a man beforehand.

 

kinda reminds me of something Florian said in GTA 4 actually, during the Buyoh's ahead mission.

 

god now there would be a memorable meeting of the minds now that I think of it,  Trevor and Florian in GTA 5 lol

When friends or people you've known for a long time greet you online or in real life saying ''Hi.'' I mean seriously, what the hell? you've known me for a huge long time, why say ''hi?'' it's stupid, I prefer ''Hey.'' or ''Hello.'' or anything other than Hi, hi just get's on my nerves.

Man cannot make a woman.  If he misses a dose of the hormones, he will change back into a man.  The drugs put him at even more health risks.  For what??!!

You know I gotta be honest about Facebook posts like that. While I agree with what is being said on the picture itself I can't help but feel like a lot of people are most likely being hypocrites on this. I mean how many people actually are following the stuff they mention?Why instead of posting stupid memes and putting Kardashians face out there more actually post news stories and research on their pages? Don't they know that the news trending feed in the top right corner works by observing your browsing habits meaning if you are constantly seeing Kardashian pop up it means you've probably been seeking out Kardashian news stories? In the end I think the people posting this kind of thing are probably just as egocentric as the Kardashians and are doing it for the likes. Facebook essentially has become the E! network that hosts the Kardashians by giving everyone their own little reality show where they can be just as phony as what they complain about and the meme has become their ultimate tool.

 

If they want to impress, how about this. Everybody who has an issue with the amount of Kardashians they see in the news feed should have a mass deactivation for at least one week of their accounts and instead of whining on Facebook actually use that time to research what is listed in the memes above. I doubt these people would last without their Facebook accounts for even a couple of days.
