Annoyance scale

Postby Devinci » Thursday 11 September 2003 3:01:30am

We've done a lot of, get to know people kinds of threads...and I just wanted to, do another...*originality is my greatest quality*

What annoys you the most? Like, pet peeves...the one thing that could make you tear down all the curtains in your house and attempt to make a burial shrowd for the entire human race peeved...

Myself, it happens to be AIM forwards such as

"my name is jenna.....i am 7 years old with black hair and red eyes. i have no nose or ears.... i am dead. if you do not send this to 15 people in the next 5 minutes i will appear tonight by your bed with a knife and kill you.. this is no joke Something good will happen to u 2nite at 9:50. This is not a joke some1 will either call u or will talk to u online and say that they love u."

WHAT IS THAT?!?!?!

Anyway, other than that...it's gotta be chewing with your mouth open :-?

I really hate when people when people do blatently stupid things, then just laugh about it for no reason, ie: "Oh, hehe, I just wrote my paper on the French Revolution, but it was supposed to be about the industrial revolution, they are pretty much the same thing though, oops, so what do you think about the fren... or um the indust... well, what do you think about that boy over there? cute huh?" God I hate stupid people, especially stupid redheads that sit in front of me in english class, grr... *lol, back to the topic though* Yeah, biggest pet peeve has got to be stupid people. My friends Kati agrees, and she says that if a stupid person is stupid enough to get in the way of her car, then it's their own fault if they get hit, and the deserve it because they are that stupid. A bit harsh, but you all get the point!

*sorry if this is a little babbling and making no sense, I'm very tired and should be in bed, lol, so my brain is not functioning*

hmm...i tend to be dense sometimes... :( oh well, my biggest pet peeve is very very VERY VERY controlling people. i mean, some people think they have the right to just tell you what to do and expect you to follow their intructions like dummies...im not talking about teachers, professors, parents, or coaches, but those people you hang out with or is on the same "level" as you.

Devinci, once i saw your post, i couldnt resist putting this on here. I completely agree with you. One of my friends who also happens to hate those stupid forwards sent me this one, that is making fun of them. I just about killed myself laughing...


Hello,
My name is none of your business. I am suffering from seven rare
and deadly diseases, poor scores on final exams, fear of being mauled by
squirrels, and guilt for not forwarding out 50 billion chain letters sent
to me by people who actually believe that if you send them on, then that
poor 6 year old girl in Arkansas with a potato growing out of her
forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her
redneck parents sell her off to the traveling freak show. Do you honestly
believe that Bill Gates is going to give you and everyone you send "his"
email to $1000? How stupid are you? Ooooh, lookyhere If I scroll down
this page and make a wish, I'll meet the girl (or guy) of my dreams
tomorrow What a bunch of junk. So basically, this message is directed to
all the people out there who have nothing better to do than to send me
stupid chain mail forwards. Maybe the evil letter leprechauns will come
into my house and write "I'm a moron" on my forehead in permanent marker
in my sleep for not continuing the chain which was started by a knight of
the round table and was brought to this country by midget pilgrims on the
Mayflower and if it makes it to the year 2005, it'll be in the Guinness
Book of World Records for longest continuous streak of blatant stupidity.
If you're going to forward something, at least send me something mildly
amusing. I've seen all the "send this to 50 of your closest friends, and
this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a
nickel from some omniscient being" forwards about 90 times. It's getting
old. Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually
contributing to by sending out forwards. Chances are it's your own
unpopularity.

lol that was great centaur lord! :lol:

my biggest pet peeve is, like accioniffler said, stupid people, and also people who think they're better than everyone else. i can't stand people who think that they are so much greater than other people, i literally can't stand to be around them. :mad:

hmm greatest pet peeve?? well i have a ton of little ones... like when people say they are "itching my mosquito bite." you don't itch something. you scratch an itch. also saying "warsh" instead of "wash." i suppose i'm just too picky...

Centuar Lord, that was hysterical! i loved it. :grin: i, as well, hate stupid forwards. the worst are the friend ones, to me. "friendship is like a rose... send this to all your friends and the ones who send it back are your only real friends." uh... right. we do, after all, need a chain letter to find out if we have friends or not.

I get annoyed by normal things like stupid people... probably because i have no patience.
But aside from that wierd things annoy me, like people with bad hair, or stupid clothes! i know that sounds really lame, but it really bothers me when u can see someone wearing something silly just for attention! It's like why dont u find a better way of getting noticed... like being an interesting person! Sorry i sound really vain, i'm not! It's probably just that attention seekers annoy me in whatever way they're trying to do it.

That forward was hilarious Centaur Lord! stupid fwds get on my nerves too!

It annoys me when telephone rings in my office, because it is too often and the calls are usually not for me anyway... I just can't concentrate :evil:

It also annoyed me a lot at school, when during an important test my friends wanted me to help them, but I couldn't because in this case I wouldn't be able to finish my own tasks in time. And in general it annoys me when you work hard to do something and then someone lazy wants to benefit from the results of your work.

* People with the attention span of five seconds (and I'm not talking 3-year-olds here ... :o) :mad: :evil:

* People who won't shut up when you try to work :mad: :evil:

* People who don't do anything in class but want to copy all your work at the end of it :mad: :evil:

* People who make you feel guilty for not letting them copy the results of your hard work :mad: :evil:

I was sitting next to a girl who's all of the above in history today ... Aargh!! :mad: :evil:

Well, I suppose that's better than being called ugly, or being one of the people that annoy us for not dressing to our standards, lol
