Just so everyone knows A pet Peeve is something that you really find annoying/hate. Sorry If this seems a little random. I'll start with mine......

_ People who think watching the Lion King is immature[Trust me I know a lot of these people]

_People who try to act all cool by talking loads of trash to you online.[I have also known a lot of people who are like that]

_ The white Suburban teenagers who pretend they're all Gangsta.[I don't really have a problem with them in general I just have a problem with their attitude]

All my pet peeves almost all of them have to stick with a certain person. I'll think of some more.

Me too. And Shatara's darn poking all the time! :D (Kidding). :p

Anyway, my list:

- Rudeness.
- People who patronise me.
- People who can't spell. I know I make my mistakes too, but spelling errors bug me and I have to point them out.
- People who think they are better than everyone else.
- People who just don't listen.

I'm sure there will be more. :D

_Yeah people who do stuff like STL wrote gets me angry too.

_What used to make me real angry was comp slang[I guess cause basically I didn't understand a word of it.]

- ALso people are who are arrogant.

_And fast food employees who are rude. [especially in NYC]

- People who think they're god's gift to the world.

-People with English as a first language who can't spell.
-People who blame dyslexia on terrible typing, when they themselves are not even trying; i.e., putting 2 rather than too.
-People in the same situation as above, only minus dyslexia, but with English as a second language.
-People who don't know the difference between there/their/they're, its/it's, to/too/two.
-Lack of SPaG
-N00bs.
-Elitist f'cks.
-Lack of ability to understand sarcasm.
-Yaoi fangirls

At the moment, my biggest peeve is being asked to clean your room, when there is obviously nothing to clean and everything is pretty much tidy. Say neph, speaking of yaoi fangirls...I saw the words " I <3 Yaoi" embroidered on one guy's backpack. That pretty much made me sick.

Another one of my peeve's is corruption within an mmorpg.

Yup, it's stupid. While I like yaoi, because to me it's just another pairing (anything that an author/artisit can make work is good to me) I don't see why people feel the need to differentiate between yuri, yaoi and het. It's just lame.

Sheesh, a lot of things tick you off.*Worries he's on Ravoc's list of annoying people*

But you gave me a few more things that tick me off.

_People who turn their radios up so you could hear their radios when you pull up to a red light.

_Country music

_Bullies

_People who get so impatient with you when you're on IM.

- People who talk during movies

-Terrorists[I can not tell you how much I hate them]

-People who leave their cell phones on and let it ring during movies.

-People who have annoying dogs who keep on barking and yet they don't do anything about it. I love dogs just about as much as the next person but it's their responcibility to stop it from barking so much.

_ People who leave their garbage in a parking lot. [I had to clean other people's junk out of a parking lot for at least an hour yesterday in the blazing heat It's not so hard to pull over and throw it in a trash can]

- Customers who are rude to you

- My dad always wanting to know how to turn on the VCR how to play a DVD, Fast Froward, rewind, etc. etc. etc.

Ah.. you reminded me of a few I had forgotten as well...

-Babies (this can range from any age, not just infants..) who cry loudly in stores, theaters, restaurants, basically anywhere within my listening range.
-People who know nothing about computers at all, suddenly calling you over and say 'Okay, how do I do this' -__-;;;
-People that throw there garbage anywhere instead of in a garbage bin or even better a recycle bin!
-And people that generalize all country music as bad (chances are you have only heard the crappy lyrics)
-People that only like music for the music, instead of the lyrics. Listen to what you are singing x)

Sorry I don't listen to much Country music. All the country music I ever heard from my experience was very sad That's what I didn't like about it. You know now that I think about Country Music is ok.

July 15th, 2005, 06:32 PM
Here's some more...

- People who talk behind other people's backs, i.e talking about another person and *****ing about them.
- Sp@mmers.
- Parents... especially when they're telling you what you can/can't do.
- Classical music... rap music (some exceptions may be made if the song doesn't have too much rap included in it.)
- My sister.
- Seagulls... once we were at Whitby and we were having some fish and chips for lunch. My dad was stood there eating his portion whilst a seagull swooped down and stole a chip from him... he had to throw the full portion away because it kept attacking him for food. :lol: :gasp:
- Computer illiterate people... i.e, my dad. My mum knows the basics about computers so she's okay.

Simba22
July 15th, 2005, 06:35 PM
_People who don't like rap[Little Exception to people here on Lea]

-Kids screaming

- People who seem to speed down the highway, cut you off, Honk their horn loudly if there's one second of delay, etc. etc.

King Simba
July 15th, 2005, 06:39 PM
- Learner drivers... especially when they travel at 20MPH down a road where everyone drives at 30MPH.
- Joy riders.
- Youths.
- Vandalism... especially if it's stuff like "Rachel woz eya '05" etc.

I think it would be more annoying to have Learner drivers barreling down the highway at 75 miles an hour. But that's just me.

Another thing that ticks me off are driving instructors, you make one tiny mistake and you fail. I failed mine when I was driving on the grass. Turned me off of driving for good.

Gas prices.

My sister passed her driving test first time round. However, it took my parents a few tries to pass.

Anyways, back on topic...

- People who seem to think it's smart or clever to actually push in front of you in a queue.
- Flight delays... especially if they're over 2/3 hours long. One delay was well over 12 hours long and that was after being transported to another airport from the original airport we were supposed to be departing from.
- Carousels at the airport... no reason why. I just find them annoying for some reason. :bleen:

Christian
Muslims
Jewish people
People who speak their mind
Excessive political correctness
People who support the US

I'm annoyed by:

Yes, that was all sarcasm =P

Really though, I'm annoyed by people who are intolerant of other people, homophobia, being over-sensitive, people who constantly complain about everything but won't do a darn thing to fix it, people who deny all evidence for something for no logical reason and people who don't think before they speak.

That reminds me of a time when we were on holiday in the Canaries.

Thank goodness for that.

Here's some more from me...

- Kids/teens who just cross the road in front of cars and swear back at the driver after being blasted by the horn. They usually give you an "F off" response... in fact, my mum had one today. :grrr:

It's not that I have a problem with rap, it's just that I have a problem with THAT kind of rap. I listen to Eminem and Outkast and some of 50 Cent's old stuff. The kind of rap that has a point, i.e. 'around here there's shooting all day and everyone smokes weed for meals', or 'I used to have no money so I dealed drugs before I got this gig' and so on...

Ah... yeah, I forgot to include those who ridicule and persecute others who are different from the mainstream, fearing someone because they're different. Homophobes and racists in this category.

I have a cousin who's a lesbian and I consider her life partner my "cousin-in-law" and I love them both like family.


And I admittedly have a certain biased towards Christian fundamentalists and conservatives. I used to be a Christian, but not a fundamentalist (thank god for that).

But that's being too generalizing. I know of a fundamentalist Southern Baptist pastor with whom I've had a discussion with who said that basically he had his views and beliefs and I wouldn't be able to change them and vice versa and to just pretty much except it and move on.

Now only if ALL Christian fundamentalists and conservatives were like that...

I don't know about anyone else, but stereotypes peeve me, like:

-when people ask me if I'm Mexican, just because I can speak Spanish, as if Mexico is the only Spanish country in the world.
-when people assume I can rap just because I'm half African-American.
-when people who don't have the decency to learn about other Asian cultures go up to an Asian person and assume they're Chinese.

Well, THIS is a scarey thread! :eek:

My biggest pet peeve has to be people who drive down the road with their radio/CD player speakers blearing loud enough for me to hear in my house the next block over. People need to take into concideration that no one else wants to be serenated.

Another thing is cleaning up other people's messes, which I have to do a lot at my work.

I hate it when people make me look like a monster because I can't donate blood. I have a desease in my blood and am not elligible. Same can be said about people who expect donations when I have no money to give. I grew up poor, and have earned what little I have. I may be comfortable, but am in no way wealthy.

Stereotypes are always horrible. People tend to think I am Latino because I have deep tan skin. I am Native American, and speak very little Spanish.

I hate it when people do anything to try and improove there appearence artificially. looks arn't everything, and these products, surgery, ect. don't even work half the time. I would rather see my girls face then piles of powder and chemicals.

What is it with people and the ability to read. Have they lost it for good?
Oh my God ... read people, R.E.A.D. !!!

It saves everyone soooo much time, if people would just read.

And you can't say anything about it like "this has just been mentioned, read the post above you *wink*wink*" because then you are rude and get yelled at "I AM SORRY I DID NOT SEE THAT, EXCUSE ME BLA BLA BLA".

Are you just acting stupid, or are you just plain stupid? -_-

Not sure to what degree this would class as a pet pevee :p but look at this billboard ad that I see every day on my way back home from work:

790

I always cringe whenever I look at that mascot's design. I guess it's ok for a restaurant logo, but take a look at those eyes... It’s like the right eye looks ok, but then it has an extra pupil right in the middle above his muzzle? Geez, I get the feeling that if I lift up his fringe, there might be yet another eye behind it! *shivers* :wtf:

I can’t help but wonder what went through the artist’s head. Did they try to hide the left eye behind that fringe, but when it didn’t come out the way they wanted, they just gave up and decided to put an eye there anyway? Or maybe their boss didn’t like how it originally looked and ordered them to change it into this monstrosity?
So that's my pet peeve, how these little details escape an artist's attention so easily ><

Ah well, at least they make pretty good Buffalo wings there, you should come and try them xD

Is it just me ... or ... how is it possible, that kids these days (and then I'm at least talking about the teens, +15/+16 and up) have no knowledge about English what-so-ever?
How is it possible, in a world where almost everything is in English (just turn on the TV in Belgium) people almost turning 20 "dare" to say: I don't understand/speak it

I've been an English teacher at a secondary school (ages 10-12) for three years until I gave birth to my daughter. All I can say is that I was quite shocked how little effort students put into learning such an important (and great!) language nowadays.
I tried my best to keep my lessons motivating, learner-centered and of course to capture their interest by using movies, songs, websites etc. (Heh, I wish my English teacher had done that, too... but I'm sure the internet and the whole TLK fandom did way better :P) However, my students didn't seem to care. Once I taught older pupils (around 16 years) and some of them were really were frustated. Of course that's only natural if you don't keep practising... A kind of vicious-circle, if you know what I mean. And keep in mind, I don't expect my students to become perfect native-speakers. For me it's always fluency before accuracy, but it's really hard to motivate them. Right now I'm teaching a class of refugees and asylum-seekers in German and most of them are eager to learn the language. That's quite the opposite, but there are always a few students who don't care. :(

I have to agree on this one, Speaking and using English is vital in current generation. The teachers should push their student to be fluent and understanding it.

It's just that, it's everywhere around us, you can't turn on the TV without 90 % of things being in English.
(I guess it does differ in Germany and France, for example, as those are 2 countries still very hung up on dubbing things instead of using subs).
But then still ... going with my sister to London for 4 days, who kind of refused to speak English, because her speach wasn't right, and usually she didn't know how to answer back (but she could understand). I find that odd, in this day and age, that a 21-year old can't speak English, and won't even when you're in the country.

Well, there's a name for something similiar. When a language learner acquires a new language there is a so-called "silent period". Simply put, people first listen and then after a while they start to talk. It's just what babies do when they learn how to speak. Of course when you learn a second or even a third language it's a whole different matter and more complicated, but some things are similiar to your first language acquisition. I could observe this "silent period" in my class, too. Regardless if I taught English or German. But this period is bound to end someday. At least if I do my job right :zazuinnocent:
Many pupils start talking right away, others need their time. Those who do, need a lot of patience and encouragement.
Your sister however isn't just stuck in this "silent period". It's more like her being insecure while speaking English is keeping her from talking at all. This is where I as a teacher would have to encourage her to use the new language and also to make mistakes. But of course she's no longer at school so that won't happen. As for being able to understand: Understaning always comes first. Or let's say first comes the hearing, then the speaking. So of course she might be able to understand everything, but she is clearly lacking the speaking skill. If she's focused on "getting everything right" (probably encouraged from her experiences at school?) she doesn't have the courage to speak and thus she's in danger of never finding it. When I talk to a native-speaker, I'm also very nervous at frist. I studied English at university a few years ago (yeah... there's nothing much left of that, since I don't use English as frequently as I used to... quite a shame :P). my teachers/professors emphasized so much on getting everything right that I really have a hard time to talk freely, even now. With my students around it's a whole different story.
Of course, as an English teacher you have to be a role model and get things right. However, this pressure keeps me from using the English language naturally because I kept thinking "Oh no! Now you're doing it all wrong! The pronunciation, the gammar...everything!" That's stupid, I know. But it's just the way that my mind works at times. ;)
That's why I'm very reserved when I meet a native-speaker with other English-speaking people around. I tehn tend to hold back a little for about half an hour or so, before I really join the conversation. Of course I'm still able to talk right away when I have to and that's not really a problem at all. I just like it when I have a little time to "adjust" my mind to the language... Quite hard to explain. My brain starts thinkng in English then and this is easier when I don't have to think about making mistakes all the time. I hope you can understand what I mean. But I know that I shouldn't be worried about my English at all.
I think that's an experience that your sister lacks; being able to communicate freely without the fear of making a mistake. Or perhaps noticing that other people will understand her, even if she makes mistakes. Perhaps she's a shy person and that adds to it. I don't know.
The question is, how can she break this circle if she doesn't have the courage to "to swallow her pride"? In German we have a figure of speech for this, it's called "über den eigenen Schatten springen" literally meaning "to jump over one's shadow". It means you have to do something you're reluctant to do. Perhaps your sister would have been forced to speak English if you hadn't been around, but I doubt she'd have gone there all by herself ;)
She probably likes to "lean back" a little when others are there to do the communication for you. Just like I do, when I talk to a native-speaker and others are around. But at least I know that and I know how to find the self-confidence when I need it. I was even forced to talk French when my husband and I went to Paris or when I talked to some French-speaking actors of "Lion King in Hamburg" and I hadn't used French in ages... On top of that I didn't have much experience with French to begin with: just three years at school, then I decided that it's not really my favourite subject :cs_yuck_1:. But I managed somehow and I guess this experienced helped me a lot. I hope your sister will have the opportunity to find her courage one day, too.

I must say the English we were taught in school was, especially in the end (like most things in school) completely useless. Sorry, but we could roughly apply the language in practical use and then we read a lot of Shakespeare's works. Nice if you want to study English literature, but I doubt that many of the pupils went down this road. So we couldn't understand much from the daily used talks in TV/movies or how to write a thesis/fill an English form, but we could write an essays about Shakespeare's poetry, who actually used grammatical constructs no one is using today. I still remember one of these sonnets:

Shall I compare thee to a summerss day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate,
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summers lease hath all too short a date...

How is this gonna help me to write correct English, when we are fed with wrong grammatic? Even now after >10 years and a lot of practice on business trips with native English speaking customers etc. I don't get the vocabulary and grammatic stuff right. Not to mention the pronunciation. After the first sentence and in NY directly after telling the taxi driver where I want to go I hear: "Ahh, you're from Germany?" *grrr* Most taxi drivers are trained of course.


But it's not a particular German problem. I witness this everywhere. For instance in Spain I especially picked a young guy to ask for next the tram station: "No habla ingles". Maybe he didn't want to, but that actually happened to me a lot. Worst country from my experience is Japan. When you're lucky and they remember some english from school it is only some phrases, but no understanding of the language at all.

I think it is time for an synthetic world language everyone has to speak fluently. ;-)

I practically live in the Mexico/US border, and still it amazes me the number of people here who can't speak English beyond a few sentences. English lessons are mandatory in most schools, but even here there's the same problem as in Germany and Belgium, schools don't know how to teach it properly and people just don't care about how important is to learn it. Even at college level I still see people who sound like they never took an English subject at school. I remember a semester when we had to write papers based on scientific articles that were in English, and a few classmates came to me offering to pay me for translating the articles for them. I'm always up for helping if someone needs a hand, but these guys were practically asking me to do their homework, and I of course refused :naladisappointed: It wasn't even that hard to get, if they took a dictionary for key words or something I'm sure they could have done a decent work, but they prefer to go the easy route and ask someone to do it for them.

Thankfully my family had these concerns too, and I took private English lessons when I was a teenager with an amazing teacher that really encouraged conversation. It was great because she was a very fun person to talk to personally instead of in a classroom full of people, and she was a native English speaker too, which really helped.
That said, I still had that "silent period" Kirauni mentioned: Even after taking lessons like those, one still gets nervous when having to be by themselves in an English speaking country. That isn't a problem in El Paso, TX (the city I frequently go to) because a lot of people speak Spanish there, so if someone sees you struggling with English they immediately assume you're Mexican and start speaking in Spanish for you. But that's not the case in other places, it does take some getting used to. And by the time I finally mastered it, I travelled to England, where I found the accent so different it that it was like starting my "silent period" all over again :p


But it's not a particular German problem. I witness this everywhere. For instance in Spain I especially picked a young guy to ask for next the tram station: "No habla ingles". Maybe he didn't want to, but that actually happened to me a lot.
Aaah yes, as bad as Mexico has it, it's still not as bad as in Spain, where they seem to actively refuse to incorporate English in their lives. I went there for a few weeks once, it was nice to be in another country where they also speak Spanish (although somewhat differently), but I actually got to miss English, it's practically nowhere. At least in Mexico movies in cinema are subtitled, everything in Spain is dubbed and I grew tired of it very quickly. They also tend to change foreign-sounding names to fit them in their language, like for example, I know for a fact that in their Spanish dub of The Lion Guard, "Kion" will be pronounced like "Kee-on", because that's how it makes sense for them when reading it in written form. They don't do that in Mexico, at least :uhno:

Pft, people that only speak English can barely speak it. One of my biggest annoyances is when people say "mines" instead of just "mine". For example, "That candy is mines." Ugggggh! I hear some of the adults at school say it too, and it's just so frustrating. I mean, I know the kids' way of speaking can rub off on your sometimes, and it's ok to be silly, but come on.

On another note, this is my BIGGEST pet peeve right here:

http://i67.tinypic.com/2r6o7xy.jpg

NO. Swahili is NOT a symbolic language. It's just not. This is a squiggle. It means nothing. At best, it's from a Korean movie. And people get this tattooed? I mean, tattoo whatever you want, but don't go around saying it's "hakuna matata" when it's not. This gets me so worked up whenever I see it, Dawn thinks it's hilarious. So I guess my real pet peeve here is ignorance? People need to research and learn, especially before getting something permanently placed on your skin.
