"My good sir"

[Floyd.]

[center]¬_¬

I don't know why, but phrases like "My good sir" really f*** me off. We're not in the time of Scrooge and when individuals refer to themselves as "one" it just makes that individual seem like they are trying to look as if they have a good vocabulary when, let's be honest here, any old screwball can use the word "one" to refer to themselves.

Please keep trolling to a minimum, in-fact, I would like no trolling at all, just a good, clean thread in which you discuss your pet-peeves.

Go, discuss.

Also, before any retard comes in and says; "My good sir, I do believe Scrooge is a fictional character therefore how can one possibly think he belonged to an era?", Captain obvious would like to swoop in and say; "Scrooge was set in a non-fictional era."

As you can tell I'm in a foul mood today. ~

The always classic "I don't want to sound offensive".

For some reason, everybody always thinks that this covers them up to say anything they damn well please. Most of the time it's the most offensive thing they could possibly bring up.

[fenrir]

I was tempted to just come in and post something involving 'My good sir', but I'm not a [i]complete[/i] retard.

Eh, the only thing I get annoyed at is when someone says 'no homo'. It's just, is that even f***ing necessary in that sentence?! DO YOU NEED TO CONSTANTLY ASSURE ME THAT YOU ARE IN FACT, NOT HOMOSEXUAL?!

[Dr. Percival Cox]

When anyone is in a bad mood or is in an argument, they always think swearing will make them appear tough. I absolutely HATE IT when someone does that.

The other day I was in an argument with someone, and out of no where they start swearing in nearly every sentence. I had to end the argument by saying "You know swearing dosen't make you look cool it makes you look like an idiot." Then I walked away.

Are you American?

OT: Pet peeve? People who twist words. Just because I say something, and you don't like the way it's worded, doesn't mean you don't know what I meant. Go with what I said, and respond normally, not like a jackass.

[Sweetie Belle]

My pet peeve? When people walk slow in the hallways and when people interr----

"Yo, SleepingKirby, I'm happy for ya and Imma let you finish, but Zextra is one of the best members of all time! OF ALL TIME!"

Goddammit!
As I was saying, my biggest pet peeve is when people interrupt me when I'm talking or doing something else.

[Clair]

I hate when people chew with their mouth open. Also, I wish people wouldn't text and walk at the same time... a little thing, I know. xD

... My other pet peeve involves red and blue flashing lights. ><

OT: Another pet peeve of mine is when people won't go to see my plays when I asked them to.

[Death Metal]

Mind taking that down? <_<

It's not so much a pet-peeve for me as much as it is a "you'll die if you see this too often" kind of thing. >_>

[Dad]

Pet peeve: When I bust my ass around my household to keep it clean, and it's dirtied in a day.

[MarbleZone]

I hate it when people jump from topic to topic without apparent reason other than they completely lost interest and weren't polite enough to at least pretend they still cared somewhat.
Honestly, I can understand it when little kids do it, they have the attention span of a fly, but college students?

20 bucks that you're in the closet. :D

[Amethyst Phoenix]

My pet peeve is when people just end discussions or arguments with a flat "Whatever."



You sound like a jerk and an idiot when you do that >_<

[Just Crouton]

My pet peeves are...

1) Random people who walk up to me and start talking.
2) Random people, especially people with foreign accents or poor English, who walk up to me and ask for directions.
3) Idiots on the side of the road who make me roll down my car window to discuss Lyndon LaRouche.

EDIT: 4) Mormons.

*insert extremely unnecessary and harsh insult* "no offense of course." ;D

My Pet Peeve: Being blamed (or accused) of something I didn't do. Which reminds me of an argument here on YCM.

Anytime I catch myself saying that, I always end up saying something like: "I don't mean to sound offensive but you're a f***ing a******, and also I don't recognize Israel as an independent state."

[Sweetie Belle]

Another one: People who try too hard to be funny. It makes it worse.

It depends how heated the argument was, really. A lot of people believe that swearing relieves stress and pain etc. Possibly that was the reason why the said person started swearing.

OT: Parents who think anything profane that the kids might hear, see or read must be censored. f***ing lazy ass parents. Oh yeah, and people like that are the reason why good songs that use swearing in the lyrics get f***ed up because of the damn censor.

[Mister Sir]

I have two main pet peeves:

#1: The Dutch.

#2: People on the internet that argue with me and insist that I'm less intelligent than they are, all the while misspelling around half of the words in their messages. Oh, and people who insist that I'm a dickrider for attacking them because they're being a dick to someone else.

[s]My good sir,[/s] you have named my biggest pet peeve.

Also, when people are too stubborn to think logically to *insert anything here*.

Examples:

People who are too stubborn to:
...let gays get married.
...realize not all Muslims are Terrorists.

I agree, but it's not always about being stubborn. Sometime's it was just how they were raised, if they were raised as a nationalist then the most likely thing to be is that they will relate Muslims with racialists. I'm not saying it makes it okay but I just thought I'd interject that.

While you are completely right, doesnt it also suggest they are too stubborn to at least listen to other peoples beliefs/ideals/whatever-the-context-demands?
