Pet peeves

[mvd]

We haven't done this in a while, and it's always fun. Here are some of my pet peeves:

Good actresses who think they should be singers too (Lindsay Lohan has potential, but Speak is an average effort that wasn't worth it. I'm glad I listened more before I bought it. I like pop, but won't accept everything. Her songs should have been more like the Freaky Friday soundtrack.)

Good singers who think they should be actresses too (Madonna)

Music critics in general (they have a right to their opinion, but since I often don't follow them, their reviews should be written better or they aren't even worth it for the entertainment.)

Bees and mosquitos

The RIAA

Telemarketers

New drug commercials on TV

Rude people

Product activation in electronic things

The electricity going out

**Republicans are too big to be pet peeves!**

1. good singers who think they should be actresses.. Mariah Carey

Have you seen "Glitter"? :scared:

Apostrophes where they don't belong. Here is an example from my apartment complex. "There have been several auto's broken into recently."

People running through stoplights after it turns red.

People going through the 10 items or less line with more than 10 items. A lady recently went through in front of me with 52. Yes, I did stand there and count them.

2. No - don't want to, either

:hi:

3. People who don't pay attention to me.

OK, seriously... it's those stupid spam mails that 'friends' send you about Jesus and good friends and whatnot. That stuff drives me nuts.

4. Madonna a good singer? LOL

[LDS Jock]

5. compared to her acting... yes!

[mvd]

7. Yes she is

She has a pretty voice.

[medeak]

8. oh lord...

so do a lot of people.

And there are some incredibly gifted singers who tower over Madonna who you never heard of..

she's just a marketing genius for pop

[mvd]

9. We'll have to agree to disagree

I'm not saying she has the most powerful voice, but she has a great clarity and beauty that not everyone else has.

I just don't agree with you.

[medeak]

12. am snob

family business is music.

Conducting, arranging, Broadway singers, dancers etc...her singing is offensive to my ears.

def we disagree

[mvd]

14. Well, I think I have a good ear, too

People who have good ears can still disagree.

Another pet peeve of mine is the music snob, but as long as they don't push opinions on me, I'm fine with letting them be. :hi:

20. Never come around to a snobby position I don't agree with

Sorry. :hi:

[Gothic Sponge]

6. I hate it when someone calls me "dude"

Seriously.

[Champ]

11. Me, it's "buddy"

For some reason can't stand "buddy".

[ET Awful]

15. Hey buddy, you and that dude above you need to calm down :)

Sorry, couldn't resist being an ass, I have to do it once a day, doctors orders. :evilgrin:

[The empressof all]

10. Slow Talkers

People who just drone on and on at a slow rate of speed or people who make short stories long

Drives me up a wall

[CO Liberal]

13. People Who Use The Handicapped Parking Spots...

...with no handicapped plates or placard on their car.

[datasuspect]

16. people who stand left on escalators

or walk left on the sidewalk.

yuppies screaming on cellphones on the el.

[Lavender Brown]

21. People who come to a full stop at the bottom of an escalator

and just stand there, letting a crowd of people fall over each other behind them. This happens all the time on subway escalators during rush hour.

[FeelinGarfunkelly]

22. not using turn signals...

and people who pass me, only to turn 1/4 mile down the road. You couldn't wait a minute? JEEBUS!

girls in the library who talk to their friends on their cell phones about "what am i going to wear to the Sig Tau party?" (as a girl it bugs me to no end when 'chicks' do this. that and getting "all ho'ed up" to get wasted) Call me anti-social but have some respect for yourself, girls!

not turning off the lights/fan/oven when not in use. Same goes for not shutting cabinet doors after they've been opened and stuff has been gotten out.

Glad to get that off my chest.
