Your Pet Peeve(s)

[Robert-Y]

For me, my pet peeves are basically very similar to the ones listed by members in this forum who were interviewed. For example: disrespectfulness, arrogance, people who criticize other people when they're not in a good position to do so, immature behaviour e.g. kids who laugh when someone says "penis".

Another one of mine would be when people deliberately taunt you (especially when you're in a bad mood and they know you're in a bad mood) because they think it's funny but then others around you start laughing at you. At this point I put on a fake smile otherwise I look annoyed at the person and I don't really want them to feel bad, but hardly anyone picks up on my fake smile. It happens a lot for me; especially with younger pupils in my school ...

Another one of mine would be when people annoy you

Something that is personally annoying; a personal dislike

Uh-huh....

your pet peeve is "when people annoy you"?

awesome, and my white horse is white.

Sorry about that, I just changed it a minute ago.

I "lol"ed at that.

My pet peeve is when you are cubing, and then the core snaps. I almost cried when it happened to my best cube.

when orange and red are switched...
I don't mind if orange and yellow are switched though

i'm beginning to get annoyed by peeling stickers

I think the right analogy would have been "my favorite white thing is my white horse". You make it sound like he said "my pet peeves are annoying" when in fact he said "my pet peeves are annoying people". "People" are not in the definition of pet peeve and it is therefore not as redundant as you make it out to be. He was specifying that one of his pet peeves are when "people" annoy him, which replaced the "something" that's in the definition. But this is too pedantic...

My pet peeves are Evangelists (e.g. Pat Robertson), people who walk their dogs without leashes (especially pitbulls), the phrase "I know, RIGHT?", and using the elevator to go only one floor up or one floor down.

 

[Robert-Y]

Sorry if I've got the definition for pet peeve wrong, I always thought that a pet peeve was simply anything that annoys you. Btw, I just didn't find the right words at the time of my post. I didn't check thoroughly enough, sorry

my pet peeves are:
1. when you are about to break your PB and you have a huge pop.
2.when people who have seen you solve keep saying, "bet you can't solve it"

 

[JTW2007]

My cubing pet peeves:

Getting over-excited at an awesome F2L and trying to solve every pair at once, thus resulting in R and U at the same time, thus a pop.

Smooth tiles on a 3x3. I loose my M slice traction.

People with personalized white center stickers. Makes me so jealous.

Magic.

And, worst of all, and the one thing I would remove from cubing if I could: Type As.

Thank you!!!

Anyway, my pet peeves are:
1. When people think I'm such a freakin' genius and I'm sooo smart.
2. Losing
3. When someone stares at me, looking as if they're thinking, "dang, what a nerd" (obviously, that is what they are thinking...)
4. Arrogant people that think they're so cool and good at sports.
5. People that are not arrogant that think they're cool, but are actually really annoying, whiny, and always jumping on the bandwagon, getting designer clothing just because everyone else is.
6. People that hate me.
7. People that I hate.
8. Dwight Howard not winning Dunk contest this year

cubing-related:
1. When someone takes apart my cube
2. When I lube my cube with silicone spray and it dies.
3. When I get a +2 on an otherwise amazing solve.

Yeah...that's most of what I can think of as of now.

 

[CharlieCooper]

cubing peeves

people who don't pull their weight at competitions by helping with scrambling or think they can just come, do their solves and then leave. hello, participation would be nice.

spectators who just get in the way with their filming or whatever.

not breaking world records also gets a bit tiring.

non-cubing peeves

religion "pushers", well put anythingtwisty

religion on the whole (not trying to start a debate here)

stupid degrees (eg. fast food) that are called degrees when they don't even compare to the work that people put into real degrees.

yobs

people who just can't grasp the difference between your/you're their/there etc etc. those who don't use apostrophes, nor know how to spell common words such as blatant, independent or definite.

Department of redundancy department.

Cool. I'm not the only one!

Pet-Peeves:
1. Using the word "algo" instead of "alg" or "Algorithm"
2. My annoying tendency not to think before I post YouTube videos.
3. People who think they are Gods-Gift (meaning full of themselves)
4. Learning CubeWhiz algorithms then having to relearn most if not all because of better algs.
5. People treating my cubes like garbage, throwing them around etc when I have them neatly displayed on my desk.

pet-peeves...

1)The question, "What's wakeboarding?" being asked by close friends when it is my favorite sport.
2)People bashing cubewhiz algorithms because their fingertricks are different than bobs, who haven't read the disclaimer at the top of his pages saying, you are different than i am... go find the best algorithms for yourself...

3)How everyone once knew that guy who could solve a rubik's cube in like 5 seconds... you know what i mean.

4)people who are in the same situation as everyone else and expect to be treated differently... example-Flight gwets cancelled, someone starts yelling at the crowd of people getting new tickets wondering what the big holdup is when he needs a ticket, because he deserves one since his flight got cancelled.

5)when a kid in school does no work, and then sucks up to a teacher saying that they "tried hard" and the teacher believes them, and then confiscates my rubik's cube(s)

I wasn't bashing CubeWhiz, he has done a great job compiling the algorithms and has a very nice page, but what I was referring to was having to relearn all of them because they didn't work very well for me. I meant nothing against the actual Cubewhiz site or algorithms.

And i did not mean anything againts you either, at all. His OLL page specifically is bashed by many people here, even though he admits that they work well for him... and probably just for him.

But it is actually a pet peve of mine, not just me being mean. seriously.
my favorite is still that 5 second guy... who i've never met but everyone i ever talk to has...
