What gets your goat?
Could be any simple thing.
What tics you off?
Something silly even.
Whats YOUR pet peev?
My pet peev, something that really tics me off is....kids dancing...not only dancing but dancing in formation.
I don't know why, like a women with PMS IT JUST DOES!

People asserting their independence by following rigid fashion or other similar codes. Or just wandering through life with eyes completely closed and yet still preaching about it.

Egos and McDojangs:mad: I plan on "deflating" an ego (again) at my blue belt test tomorrow. :Angel: :D
Where do I start...
1. Women
2. Lack of women
3. The general public
4. People who want to talk to me about MA's when they know nothing about it 'What's that Karate thing you do again...' 'Here let me show you...'
5. Lack of money
6. Rainy days
7. Lack of rainy days
8. Sleep deprevation
9. Lazy people
10. People with too much time on their hands
11. Sales people who talk too fast
12. All other sales people
13. Defeatists
That's all I can think of at the time... I'll get back to you with the others ;)

basically most people will get a reaction from me in the way of "why the hell would you think or do that?"
But most of all are drivers. Bad drivers. People who slow down before they enter filter lanes, people who still think they need to slow down to 20 to go round corners, people who don't know how to indicate around roundabouts (why would you indicate left to go right or vice versa). And many other things but I only remember them when someone does them.

Hey, I do that. I figure if they can't walk around me or overtake then its their problem. I'm not there to rush around like a maniac, I just want to relax and browse the windows.

I forgot to mention drivers (bad drivers). Like the ones Darzeka mentioned. The really annoying ones who go 30 miles an hour in a 55 miles an hour zone in the passing (or fast) lane gggggrrrrrrrrrr:mad: Or the ones who singal when half way into the turn already :mad: Or ones who slow down for no reason at all. NY (upstate) drivers are known for that. I learned to drive in NJ .... Get the **** out of my way!!! hehehehe
I also hate the type of people who think their s**t don't stink. The stuck up types.
I hate men who beat on women and children. Why don't they pick on the ones who can defend themselves??? Because they wanna feel big and bad for beating on the ones who can't. @$$ holes! Try that with me .... jurk.
Ok, this forum got me mad LOL. I have a lot of pet peeves. I have many others. But I'll go take a cold shower now LOL.
Morph, how's Wales this time of year? :)
Yeah, you bet I need a holiday - just had to do an eviction of a single mum for not paying rent. Right before Christmas too!
Need a holiday? You bet I do! :o

For some reason i get really annoyed when after waiting in a bus queue for about an hour.
Always, always always... the person at the front of the queue has to search about ten pockets for bus pss/money....
....grrr did you forget you were getting the bus gah!!

After an hour - probably.
Re: getting woken up. This is especially bad when it's someone else's bassline that wakes you.
The thing that gets me most is dogs. Not all dogs, just those spoilt stroppy little ones that yap a lot.
Another thing that gets me is lecturers/other students who assume that just because I'm dyslexic that I can't read anything. Especailly when they start reading stuff to me... :woo:

waya
14-Dec-2002, 11:23 AM
whew, 10am I am just looking at going TO bed lol.
I think the thing that drives me nuts the most is people... just in general. Human beings are the most senseless, illogical, egotistical, self centered things on this planet. I don't know how we made it past being apes really lol.
Morning people really drive me nuts. Alot of them are jogging when I leave work like their going to live forever... I just think of yelling out the window "Not if I run you over you won't :D " lol.
Loud or scraping noises I really can't stand.
People who swear they are right when they are so wrong you wonder if you're talking about something even remotely connected to reality anymore.
Waking up.
Temps below 85 degrees.
That's the basics anyway.

Here's another. Cold weather. I am not a winter person. Anything below 75 is too cold for me. I moved to the wrong state ..... right now it's snowing (about a foot so far), and my belt ceremony got canceled ggggggrrrrrrr. My test almost got canceled cause it snowed that day, too :mad: I passed, but ya wouldn't know it, because I haven't got my blue belt yet ..... :(

TKDwarrior, no I'm a blue belt now (I was green with blue stripe). Well I haven't actually got my belt yet, but I know I passed LOL.
Thanks, Kyokushin_girl :) Yes, blue is usually right before red (which is the last one before black). But my school has brown, too (blue, brown, red, black). If I was in a REAL TKD school, I'd go to red after this one. But my instructor added a color to milk us of more money :( My school is getting very close to becoming a McDojo/Dojang :mad: gggggrrrrrrr

lol may be for ur own good...some ppl just hac knack of gettin belts ;)
but it actually surprises me that u r doing TKD from just 1 yrs n u hav become Blue belt...
in my class u'll take one year just for yellow belt...
n my teacher charges dirt cheap(250 bucks/month=less than 5$)
so guess he's not makin money...:D
normally it takes at least 5-6 yrs in my class to get BB. if teacher see u r too eager then he won't teach u complete curriculum n u'll get failed :) he'll tell u when u r ready :)

My own good? It wasn't my idea. My school is all about rank, not technique. If I was still in TSD, I'd be no where near as far as I am now in TKD.
<but it actually surprises me that u r doing TKD from just 1 yrs n u hav become Blue belt...>
My point exactly ;) They said they wanted to rush me because I have experience. But I chose to slow down when I got my green belt. I wasn't in no rush.

I pay $100 a month. They say in this school that it takes 4 years. NOT. A few people I know got BB in 2 years. And my instructor always tells me I'm ready. Weather or not it's true, I don't know.

doh then they'll give me BB in couple of days :D... i m doing TKD from 3.5+ years before that it was Thai boxing... drilled with judo n other grappling arts...can do nunchaku n bit of sticks
I pay $100 a month.
doh that's pretty ...come over here u'll get it TKD darn cheap
. But I chose to slow down when I got my green belt. I wasn't in no rush.
lol here u'll actually cry n ask teacher to give belts :D he knows i can beat up most of his students but my BB is no where in sight :(
reason: my forms r not good, my pre arranged sparring is not good, all i can do is blast with my hands n low kicks(can do high too) n do most of locks very efficientlys :D sounds like Anti TKD...
hahahaha...
PS: did yea talked to ur instructor??

Cell phones in a movie theathre.
People talking during a movie.
People in sports cars(mustangs, corvettes, porsches) who drive below the posted speed limit.
People who block the whole lane in a grocery store with their cart.
People who make STATEMENTS and expect you to give them an answer to a question they did not ask.
Kids screaming and their parents do not say anything.
When you order out for food and it NEVER arrives.
When you write on a forum for a half hour and the computer locks up and says " canceled "

No big peeves today, just a few little peevelets:
1) What's up with sleeveless turtleneck sweaters? If it's warm enough for sleeveless, it's too warm for turtlenecks. If it's cold enough for turtlenecks, it's too cold for sleeveless. You can wear a jacket over it, but then if you take off the jacket, you freeze because of no sleeves.
2) Those gimmicks in magazines, "first 50 people to respond will get a free whatsis". Even if I ran to the PO the minute I got the magazine, I wouldn't be one of the first 50, so why bother?
3) Kitchen cupboards with see-through doors? Now why would I want the whole world to see all the ugly, mismatched c**pola I have in there?
4) Makeup -- why is it that men can go through life with the face the good Lord gave them, while women are supposed to paint on all this feels-like-dirt-on-your-face crud? Bah, humbug!
Told you they were just peevelets.

2. My brother's table manners
Holgate
19-Oct-2003, 07:13 PM
1) Devon drivers: I learn't to drive in Kent which means you HAVE to be decisive and not like drivers here in Devon who pi** about all over the place before making a desision.
2) The fact that it takes me longer to get out ot Exeter to get to training than it actually does to get there from the motorway...let me explain, I live in Exeter, I train in Sidmouth around 22 miles away in all. I leave my home in Exeter and it takes me 30 minutes to get from my front door to the Alphington Sainsburys...just three miles away!!...from there it takes me just 15 minutes to get to Sidmouth via the a30/m5 route!!
3) people who see fit to belittle me at every turn. I'm sorry but I've had enough and I will slap the next person who does it. Bullying of any kind shouldn't be welcome in any walk of life. being laughed at for saying anything makes the victim feel stupid and like there is no reason to say anything at all and when you do your afraid something else will be said. It wasn't until yesterday people realised how much I can get effected by it...if I come under extreme stress of any kind I stammer very badly...and as always when they found that out it bacame the butt of all the jokes, only one person took the time to find out what the problem was and actually listen to me!
4) being unemployed: I want to work, I am capable of working, I have all the qualifications in the world for my chosen field of work and yet in 7 months I have had 1 interview for a job in my chosen field and am now having to look for work in shops to tide me over who want me to give up my football refereeing just so I can work for them of a saturday for a crap wage.
4a) being unemployed and dealing with job centre's: the people who work there just have no bloody idea, they would shunt you into a dead end job cleaning toilets if it got you out of their way and home early. The betting is pretty high that I am more qualified then them in the first place, it seems they don't know how to deal with anyone with a modicumbe of intelligence.
5) Tories: It just saves time not to like them!
6) People who stop in the middle of pavements for no reason or who chose to hold a conversation in the middle of a pavement and hold everyone up: Nuff said!!
7) Stagecoach Devon bus services: The F route especially, if I have an appointment in town I have to plan on leaving for town an hour at least before I need to be there just to get the bus...even then I usually end up late!...I've found the route to town via Millars Bridge to now be faster than getting a bus in this city. You think you have problems with trains...don't ever move to Exeter!!
8) families with more than two cars: two I can understand...his and hers as it were, but when the kids get hold of a ****ing car each it not only pushes up pollution levels but it also makes driving down a simple road bloody hazardos when you have to drive around badly parked cars....some of the routes in Exeter, especially up around Gloucester Road would give the world most frightening roller coaster ride a run for it's money....even more so if you happen to be a passanger on said F or E bus!!
9) Bus drivers: my father is one and compared to others he is excellent at the job. But on the whole I get the feeling that when drivers pass their PCV bus test that they are then taken into another room with the Men in Black and have all driving, saftey and passanger curtiosy knowladge erased from their brains!
10) Being dyslexic: say you are dyslexic to anyone they automaticly assume your stupid or illitrate. Just because I have a problem with spelling and some reading it does not mean I am not capable of doing any job I set my mind to. I have an IQ of 105 so I am more than able to be a journalist if I want to be and I should not be discriminated on the basis of not being able to spell a few words correctly.
11) Birmingham: sorry but what is the point of the place?!...did architects of old get a map of the country and think "There's some beautiful rolling green landscape, lets build a city called birmingham, give it at least one crap football team and the worlds more boring accent"
12) Sunderland: Just so easy not to like it. A place for exiled geordies of old who were banished from Newcastle for basicly being gits.
13) NCP car parks: I am pi**ed off with paying sky high prices to park my car only to find some barsteward has smashed my windows just to nick the Bagpuss out of my window....I actually think I was more annoyed about the Catnapping of Bagpuss than the vandalism of my car window!
14) body piercing: I'm only 26, but what the **** is this body piercing thing about, I cannot imagine anything more off putting to an employer than some kid coming for an interview with bolts though every avaliable piece of skin!
15) Royal Marines: Ok on the whole but get a few drinks inside them and they turn into Mr Jeckle on an especially bad night, many a time I have had to flee from fighting marines in Exeter bars because they decided they wanted to kick lumps out of each other.
16) people who disturbe me while watching M*A*S*H either by phone or at the door. These people should be shot they are a menace to society.
17) Nissan Micras: Made in Sunderland (says it all) driven by old women who are usually Brownie/Guide leaders who don't know how to driver faster than 20mph for fear of breaking the sound barrier. THESE CARS SHOULD BE BANNED!
18) Spitting out toothpaste: Something that really makes my skin crawl is the sound of someone spitting out their toothpaste. I can't even do it myself and have developed an art of not spitting the stuff as such. strange I know but still it gets to me...

I would also like to add to my list:
19) the tosser who woke me up at 1am this morning and who saw fit to play a bad practical joke on me.
Yes at 1am I was woken by the telephone...now calls at this time of the day usually mean trouble, and here's me thinking there had been an accident in the family or my grandfather had been taken ill. Nope instead it was some eejit claiming to be from a radio station saying that my phone number had been chosen to take part in a competition, he rambled on for a while and I was then asked some daft question which I answered. they said I had won and that they would need my national insurance number, being the daft half awake git I am I stupidly gave it to them (I am one of the rare breed who actually know their number by heart) anyway I finally get off the phone dial the usual 1471 and find the number was an Exeter one....so it basicly stinks!
Myself and my father who was also awake try to call the number back on the 1471 and for a while it's busy...eventually we get through and they claim we dialed a wrong number but moments after putting the phone down someone phones back appologising and claiming they never asked for my NI number....so we call the police and lodge a complaint. After I get off the phone the man who origionally spoke to me calls back saying he's sorry and then claims he was trying to phone someone outside of the country and that he never asked for my NI number. I basicly tell him where to get off and that a complaint has been made. I then phone the police back and put in further comment about the returned phone call.
Finally at 2:30 this morning I manage to get back to bed!!

Obese martial arts "experts".
I find it beyond hippocritical for some 300 +lbs slob to call him or herself a self defense expert.
Stop talking grandmaster and start using stairmaster.
Or a obese doctor or nurse referring to themselves as a "healthcare proffesional"
I was out to eat with some friends and we were talking about martial arts and Tai Chi came up.
This nearly 400lbs woman comes up and interupts and starts preaching to my friends and I we dont know what Im talking cause we have red meat on our plate and "reds meat is bad for your chi".
Yeah and being 400lbs just so happens to be bad for everything.
I trued to blow her off with just a little sarcasm but it didnt take.
I gave her a GOOOOD verbal lashiong...she ended up crying when she left.

first let me assert that i feel bad for hitting people at all. when i kendo or grapple or even light spar with friends i apologize profusly after everytime i hit them.
but my pet peeve is projectile weapons of anysort. guns, paintball markers, crossbows, air riffles, sling shots what ever.
and i know that most people dont 'like' to be aimed at with a weapon. But i get violent when people aim something at me even when i know that the person will not shoot me on purpose. like my friend danny aimed a loaded pellet gun at my face from about 3 feet way. ... oh yeah im 20 and danny is 15, anyway i told danny he about 5 seconds before i break the gun over his back... heehee yeah he stopped smiling.
its all good though cuz pet peeves are like our exeption
