Pet Peeves

[CAT13]

So, what are your pet peeves? Just anything that you find really annoying and bothers you. It doesn't have to be anything cube related. And if it is cube related please list another thing that isn't cube related. List as many peeves as you want
(btw, yes I did at least try to use the search function.)

I'll start.
My name is Matthew McConaha and there is an actor that is named Matthew McConaughey. My name is pronounced exactly the same as his. So whenever someone meets me, (teachers especially) they always say something like, "like the actor," or, "have you ever heard of the actor?" or, "Are you related to the actor" (my name is spelled totally different, so obviously not) or, "are you named after the actor?" No, I was born after the actor was known. Stuff like that. It bothers me.

Ok. My pet peeves are the "classic" ones.

- Coloring outside the lines
- Color disorganization
- Random files on my computer that's not placed inside a proper folder.
- pPl \/\/ |-| 0 Z tipez lik dees
- Unsolved cube...
- Dirt under my stickers
- long finger nails (for guys)
- Multicolored hair (4+ colors)
- Not perfect foods e.g. not perfect waffles or pancakes. Imperfect semicircle omelets
- People who claim they are virgins (when you know she has an STD before sleeping with her)
- Overall jerks
- Oily hands
- Melting ice cream
- Messy school notes
- Someone entering a (my) room without knocking
- Not having a case or holster for everything

That or I have OCD. or CDO as it should be...in alphabetical order...

- "Rubik" cube
- Saying LOL instead of actually laughing
- Having food in a sauce making crispy food soggy.
- People abusing friendship.
- Hypocrites

Meh, not too many. I'll probably think of some over the next couple of days and add them.

- Unsolved cube...

Not one of my pet peeves per se, but I do prefer seeing them solved. One time I went into a shop that sold Rubik's cubes, and had about 10 3x3x3s of display and 3 4x4x4s. I walked into the shop, solved them all, and walked back out, without ever saying a word. The look on the shop assistant's face was priceless.

People chewing with their mouth open, ESPECIALLY gum, drives me insane. Or people clipping their nails, the *click click click* irritates me to the point of near violence, not kidding.

 

[Garmon]

My name is my second name:
DGR are my initials and my name is Garmon, so in registration they call me the first one (D..) Which is actually a cool name but not my real name!!
Also people saying "Pick off the stickers" and I smile but really I am thinking "You moron get out of my sight".
Nothing more I can think of except people using the word "nowadays" and using very bad grammar and spelling.

I wish I did that, but all cubes I see are packaged.
I thought of more:
The thought of nails on a blackboard.
People saying they hate anything that sounds like Classical Music, even though it influenced a lot of modern day music.

- People who claim they are virgins
- Overall jerks

You would hate me then. My pet peeve is when people talk to me. It's just like "can't you see I don't care?"

I don't hate. I just very strongly dislike at most. And that's just on first encounter. Once I get to actually know the person i don't really care about pet peeves

EDIT - I changed my first post to clear up about the virgin thing

 

[Lotsofsloths]

People asking: WHATS YOUR BEST TIME???? CAN'T YOU DO IT IN LIKE 29 SECONDS!?!?!
Person 2: NO THATS NOT POSSIBLE, THE WORLD RECORD IS LIKE 50 SECONDS.

 

[Sa967St]

people who always think they're right, really annoying

haha, I've heard some simlilar things like that

 

[Odin]

my pet peeves are

1. Un-solved cubes!!! they look so tacky sometimes it even makes me mad seening one!

2. Cube poser's at my school, ever sense i brought my cube and showed off at school ( i got a nice skip and solved it in about 40 sec.) ALMOST EVERY ONE BROUGHT ONE TOO SCHOOL, and they all cant even solve it!!! So it just makes the real cubers look like followers too, i don’t mind if the can speed solve or just solve it. But the posers just give the REAL solvers bad names...

3. Han Solo !! arg hes just so full of him self..

 

[Unknown.soul]

People who use the word "perfect", it's annoying because such a state/status doesn't exist. My older brother (a 1 year difference) uses Perfect1 and other derivatives as his alias, yet he's a pure ******* (My point: he's a self-conceited jerk.)

 

[fanwuq]

1. Racist jokes
2. Confusion about math/time/other simple logic by stupid people.
For example, I solve cube in 20 seconds, they said:"OMG! that guy is amazing, he did it in like 3 minutes!"
3. People overrating type D cubes.
4. Noobs repeating same questions over and over again.
5. People who have the wrong definition of algorithm.
"o, I know how to solve the rubric's cube, you just calculate the algorithms on your graphing calculator, you do log(x) blah blah and it is easy, I bet if I try I get it in less than 10 seconds."
6. "O, he knows how to solve that sh!t because he go to [insert my school name]." It is the 'best' in my city, but in reality it sucks compared to schools nationwide. And pretty much no one can solve the cube at my school except for a few inspired by me.
7. Music (loud music make my sleepy.)
8. "Gangsters" They are slow moving and always in my way. They are weak and immobile (pants around knee.) Though it does start to get fun jumping over them and crashing into them. They fail to use correct grammar or commit all sorts of language atrocities.
I especially hate the ones who aren't just stupid, but are actually decent people at first, but they fall into this trend because for some reason being illiterate and immobile is popular.
9. People asking me to pronounce my name.

That or I have OCD.

You're either a real perfectionist, or you definately have OCD, lol.

At the moment my pet peeve is my Father-in-law pissing on the toilet seat and not wiping it off. It really annoys me.

I agree with you fanwuq but i live in the part of town where the "wanna be gangsters" are REAL gangsters... so i dont mess with them >.<

The wanna be ones are easy to mess with. They are too foolish and silly. That's probably half of my school. The "real" ones (middle/high school dropouts/ people who are as illiterate as dropouts), sometimes I can mock them and get away with it by either pretending to not understand English or they are really stupid and think that all asians are kongfu masters that will kill them. Some times, my cubing skills impress them and they actually bet on my times. Some of them are afraid of my fast fingertricks (seeing that as perhaps "ninja skills". Most of the time, I just avoid them by pretending not to understand English or ignore them completely or walk super fast (faster than they can run). Some of the do sell/buy drugs and I've seen them abuse other kids. But they aren't that bad, I haven't actually see any of them with a real weapon yet...
The really really real ones with real weapons-- there are plenty, but I don't know if I see them or not. At least they are secretive and don't bother normal people.
Well, basically, I hate these people because they can't speak, write, or run properly. I really don't see why any one would be afraid (unless they actually are carrying guns at the moment) or look up at them.

 

[Vulosity]

People who spit on the floor!!! I hate stepping on the spit. There's this kid at school, he's overweight, and all he does is spit on the floor.

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

I know a chick who have a pet peeve for cursing, she won't even accept the word "hell".

anyway mine are:

-Rubix, Rubics, Rubric, Rubrik or Rubik cube
-People who think they are the best, and imply it when they talk to you (e.g. there's this girl who makes me feel stupid when she talks to me).
-people who are overamazed when I solve a cube "OMFG HOW THE HECK DID YOU DO THAT OMGOMGOMGOMG TEACH ME DUDE!!!! OMFG!!! " they are so annoying...
-fanwuq's second one, where people underexaggerate my times (e.g. "omfg he told dat rubik cube in like 2 minutes!! (whereas, my watch says 17 seconds)")

I can't think of anymore, I'll edit this post later if I do.

 

[fanwuq]

-people who are amazed when I solve a cube

Why? Why shouldn't they be amazed? I know I was before I learned to solve one.
