peeve: Coasters for drinks! Especially the ones made of GLASS, I mean come on! I'll use them out of respect for other people's crappy furniture, but I hate them and I do an inward sigh every time they stick to my glass and fall making a loud clink.

anti-peeve: Rainbows!

Not A Speck Of Cereal · 07-23-2007, 07:06 PM

Peeve: nervous laughter

Peeve: people in grocery stores that don't look where they're going and leave their carts smack dab in the middle of the isle, at an angle. It's times like those that I like to grab a $30 bottle of spirulina and drop it in their cart.

Peeve: those little "customer in training" carts at the grocer for tots to push around, leave in awkward places, butt into people, etc. Baddest. Idea. Evah!

Peeve: kids in rice burners with tinted windows, single-note sub-woofers, and tinted glass who race each other on crowded freeways.

Anti-peeve: Summer!

Not A Speck Of Cereal · 07-24-2007, 07:03 PM

Peeve: typing a forum reply, but instead of pressing the Post Quick Reply, you hit the Chit Chat forum jump Go button (and not realizing it until it's too late).

beat!the!champ! · 07-24-2007, 09:12 PM

peeve: Rainbows!

anti-peeve: Stopping at the end of escalators and looking around dumbly, holding up everyone behind you!

Not A Speck Of Cereal · 09-06-2007, 05:54 PM

Peeve: Professionals.... in public forums joining discussions.... who don't know how to use punctuation like commas and semicolons......... so they use strings of periods instead.... these people probably went to school and now are making the big bucks (they have clients and talk about owning a lot of professional gear) ...... but they don't know how to use a comma!

What's up with these peeps?

beat!the!champ! · 09-07-2007, 11:32 PM

Maybe they're trying to convey their........... slowness of thought..... or maybe lack of pre-meditation..... to sound sincere or unfiltered.

Peeve: Having to state the obvious

Anti-peeve: Being tacitly understood

Peeve: people who are late consistantly late, but who get mad when I leave the appointed meeting place 15 minutes after the agreed-upon time.

Peeve: arrogance without evidence of something to support the attitude.

Peeve: the pugnacious.

JKR · 12-04-2007, 12:17 PM
