Peeve:
When friends stop writing personal emails and start writing only group-update "Hi everyone!" type emails with chain letters attached.

Anti-Peeve:
.... erm...I'm too grumpy right now to come up with a decent anti peeve.

Peeves:
People making a farting noise with their mouth and thinking it's funny.

After someone just gives a loathing opinion of something, and someone else says, "Tell us how you really feel."

Saying "Oui oui" as if it's funny.

Anti-peeve:
A quiet walk on a warm and sunny day.

Peeve: Having a chav lean out of a car window to call me a "queer cunt" as I'm mincing down the road with my shopping. Honestly, how rude, some people have no manners.

Gosh, that's harsh. Today's peeve for me seems trivial in comparison.

Peeve: I go to the grocery store and walk up to the lotto ticket check machine to check my one ticket. There's an older woman in front of me and I'm in no hurry, so I am initially patient. But here's what happens that sets me off.
  • She pulls off a ticket and looks at it. Then she looks at the machine, then back at the ticket. She turns it around to orient the bar code and then looks at it. Eventually, she puts it under the beam and waits--not a winner.
  • She looks at it and decides what to do--she's got 5-6 (or more) tickets left, but she's deciding what to do with this first no-winner. Meanwhile, a store employee wanders over while she gives it a think and checks his ticket. She eventually decides to make a pile over there.
  • Then there's the next ticket. Okay, some thought has to go behind what to do with this next ticket--oh yes, turn it around. Scan it. Oh, it's a winner--where does this one go? This takes awhile as she decides that the stack of winners needs to on top of her wallet. But before she comes to this conclusion, another store employee comes over to check her 2 lotto tockits.
  • Then there's the next lotto ticket.
Suffice it to say, for someone who really had nowhere to go but had much better things to do with my time than wait for this women, it was a very long 15 minutes.

Yes! Why didn't I think of that? This is proof that bad moods and sulkiness lower one's intellect.

Peeve: When people use a lot of unnecessary acronyms, abbreviations, and codes just to show how clued in they are.

Peeve: The term "beerskies."


Anti-peeve: sugar-free ginger brew

Anti-peeve: Linux

Peeve : When television channels put out saturation advertising for a program making it look exciting/fun/worth watching and then finish said ads with "Coming Soon". If it's a good as you're trying to make out I damn well want to know when it's on you gits. Stop getting me all wound up and letting me down at the last moment!!!!!!

Anti-Peeve : When one of those programs finally comes on and actually does prove to be worth watching. Makes me glad I knew it was on after all.

Peeve: Final exam hell coming up in just a couple of days.

Auntie Peeve: After they're done, I'll finally get my damn degree! (Provided that I pass everything, that is.)

Peeve: People who keep whining about how incomplete their lives are if they aren't having sex on a regular basis. I mean, yeah, I'm a virgin, so my opinions on the matter don't count, but I think my life is complete enough, thankyouverymuch. At the very least, I'm in no real hurry to get laid, seeing as it'll apparently make me all whiny when I'm not getting any...

Auntie Peeve: Uh... dark chocolate!

Peeve: Insincere gender messages in the media...including so called "women's magazines" which in reality are just a few patronizing snippets of idiocy in a forest of adverts, and designed to make women feel inadequate so they keep buying Wonderbras and wrinkle cream. This peeve can also be expanded to include other cultural horrors such as the Bratz movie.

AntiPeeve: What Mrs. Fish Knows About Old Southern Cooking

I second your peeve, and propose expanding it to:

Peeve -- Anything remotely attached to Bratz. What ad sleaze decided to mark that concept to pre-teens and younger?

Anti-peeve -- Kim Possible.

Peeve : People who stand at bars drinking. You have your drink and you're now blocking other people getting their drinks. Just go and sit down somewhere you morons.

Anti-Peeve : Real ale on hand pump.

Peeve: people in markets (of any sort) that are totally unaware that there are other people about.

"Excuse me?"

Peeve: those who lack the common courtesy to reply to a message you send them. I don't care if it was just a brief note I wrote on your Facebook wall, it required a response, not disregard.
