Pet peeves« on: 24.06.2010 at 22:07 [UT+1] »One of these days I'm going to have a pet, and I'm going to call him Peeves.
Just a few minutes ago got a visit from a "salesperson" who of course claimed to be NOT that... a college kid
from Scotland who was looking for the mum of the house. Had to ask him a couple of times to repeat that.. amum? what's a mum?
Oh, you mean MOM. Oh OK. Yeah, I'm the MOM of the house.. (oh brother here itcomes). What? You're selling educational material? Umm.. no thanks. Really not interested. Want nothing.
thanks. No I don't know if my neighbors would want it. Sorry, Nope. Can't help you. You'll have to try themyourself.
I hate that. I really do. I actually told him from the beginning, as soon as he started his schpiel, that I
didn't want to buy anything. Then he says "Oh, but can you help me with something else?" Then goes on to
try to sell me stuff.
Anyway, such is my big pet peeve. Door-to-door sales people, religious fanatics, and general unwelcome
visitors. It's everything I can do to keep from snarling and growling, and baring my teeth.
Aries rising perhaps? No idea what does it to me.. astrologically-wise!
So, WHAT ARE YOUR PET PEEVES and how might they be reflected astrologically?

I have a few of the usual suspects peeving me. Holier than thous, guilt trippers and emotional dishonesty toname a few. I guess my 12h Virgo stellium could also be read that way.
I used to be polite to the bible bashers knocking on my door, and i took their offer of a free bible, but they
took it too far and came back with their friends and wanted to pray in my living room.

well then this is a good time for me to look into it, cause I have a lot of stuff going through my 12th house, sotime for the little nasties to come out and show themselves.
So what are your pet peeves, Monkey?

hundrends of dollars per cart? And as a result they raise the prices, which in turn makes it all the more
expensive for the rest of us? Jupiter in 1st, Saturn in 10th.

The cheque has been in the mail at least two times. I know that he didn't lodge it withthe rental bond board. It looks like I have to take him through there to get it back.
What really stings is that I had to call the ambulance for his mum because she kept having alcohol induced"accidents". She nearly burnt her house down.

I'm also peeved by slow people - in my case, E on the ascendant in c (speedy Gonzales syndrome) isdefinitely responsible here, as well as having most planets in air signs.

... I always thought "pet peeves" meant trivial things
that annoy you in particular that don't bother most others. I assumed "pet" was short for petty and "pet"implying ones own.

these are not pet peeves....these annoy most people, which prompted me to look it up.

Idioms & Phrases
pet peeve
A particular or recurring source of irritation, as in My pet peeve is that neighbor's cat running through my herb garden . [Early 1900s]
The American Heritage® Dictionary of Idioms by Christine Ammer.
Copyright © 1997. Published by Houghton Mifflin.

OMG This is rocking my world!
I thought the hallmark of pet peeves was that they were annoyances thatare considered trivial to most, except you. According the definitions above, my personal major/principal
continual annoyances are dishonesty and jealousy, which I wouldn't had ever considered as "pet peeve"
according to what I always had thought the phrase meant.
There needs to be a phrase to describe of what one finds irritating that most would find a complete non-issue,
but isn't a major annoyance in life. Mine: I cannot stand when people borrow my paperback books and break
the binding. Ugh! I cannot stand how the title of the book has a line going through it. Grrr!! I totally destroys
the book to me. I like my books in like new condition. Thank you very much!
Earlier this week, I learned, in public speaking class, the correct pronunciation of the word "err" as in "to err ishuman" is [ur] not [air]!
*gasp* First, the pronunciation of err and now the meaning of pet peeves? What next? Yikes, how will I next[ur] about something?

Gender:Tell me about it!!! Ack! I can't stand text language at all, especially used by anyone over 18.... My cousins fromabroad send me these emails using text language where most words are abbreviations and I seriously go crosseyed, trying to decipher what they are trying to say. I think they have an wrong impression that using text
language is very cool, modern and very American....

um, yeah, maybe if you are 12.

Being the Queen of Typos/Syntax errors on internet forum.......another petty vexation of mine is: those"spelling and grammar nazis" that appear in forums, not you Judyanne....you know the kind that annoyingly isalways correcting obvious typos and syntax errors, often incorrectly.......or the kind that haughtily proclaim: "Ihate it when people don't spell or talk correct and use wrong grammer".
I guess I find it more funny than annoying....

I am guilty, I don't know how I managed to have English as one of my majors. It's not right when people
are constantly correcting someone who speaks English as a second or third language, that is a peeve for me.

My step-father, who was never allowed to talk much as a child, made up for it aplenty in his adult years, by
never letting anyone get a word in edgewise. We would wait for him to take a breath and then try to interjectsomething... but no, he'd watch us trying and quickly speed up what he was saying so we couldn't. The only
recourse was to outright interrupt him.
And he would drone on and on and on and on... in that Ben Steinvoice...

This used to be a lot more annoying for me, but lately I've been finding it kind of funny. Like.. if I can avoid
that initial reaction and just step back and see what they're doing, it's rather humorous to me. Still isn't
pleasant to be around though.
Oh and whiners.... ARGHHH! That is really annoying, that whiny voice too. I knew someone like that, an adult
who whined.
Quite something to witness..
Whiny kids too (beyond toddler age).. ugh!

Gender:Hey Judyanne, bumping off of what you said, about astrology forum people,

This is another annoyance:
I hate it when some people are arrogantly scornful toward others because their particular branch/approach toastrology is supposedly superior to others where if fact their criticisms of (or the label given to) the otherapproach is essentially what they do to themselves. I see this all.the.time here.
One example: those who label another's astrology as Neptunian, when their approach is just as (or often timesmore) unscientific, subjective, illogical than the approach they condemn.

This doesnt bother me at all.. Cl , O in the 3rd.. F grammer! I purposely rebel against the rules ofgrammer.. its too confining!
One of my pet peeves, first of all is the word pet peeve.. but I get very annoyed by people who are slow..
ADa, EmOi o ACAsc.. this combination also makes me very very irritable at times, so little things likechewing too loud drives me crazy!
Another one is someone who keeps talking after I got their point like ten min ago.. ok got it! .. this issomething I do.. so a little hypocritical..

Ok got another one. When someone has that raspy throat, and it's so obvious they need to clear their throat,but they won't and just keep talking like that. And then you start clearing your throat in hopes they get thehint, but they don't because they're thick. And then you start kinda twitching a bit, and shuffling from one
foot to the next. And then right before you feel like you're going to explode they suddenly clear their throat.

Ugh...I am unfortunately exposed to this breed. Those are the type of people that never left high school/juniorhigh school in their mentality. Cliquey. Mean-spirited. Their world is so small. I don't even bother with wasting

Even for a l like me, my 'charitable' leanings go right out of the window. I even pretended I couldn't speak
English once when approached by one. Not even sure what accent I was using...
I still donate to charity, but on my own terms, choice, ways, not under duress - and never under a guilt-trip!

Re: Pet peeves« Reply #58 - on: 28.06.2010 at 21:02 [UT+1] »Couldn't agree with you more, Penguin Trauma!! I used to be so easy to guilt-trip!
However, as you say, when I give and to whom is my choice, and I don't appreciate being made to feel like aheel if I don't choose to give, then. At the moment I'm not able to commit to monthly payments and I justavoid the chuggers, I used to say that I'd be more than happy to give a one off donation but they're not'licenced'
I'm a little the wiser and a tad more cynical these days. The first 'chugger' I had dealings with was a lad who
was campaigning for Childline or the NSPCC and he seemed very genuine and kind. I explained that I couldn't
commit to a monthly payment but would give a one-off donation. 'Course they can't but he said he was giving
away free hugs and gave me a hug. He did seem very genuine I must say. However, I did feel slightly
disillusioned when two weeks later I saw him flogging fitted kitchens in the supermarket!!
One of my friends is really cynical about charities, he says the top fundraisers get paid huge amounts of money
blah blah blah.. and the money doesn't get where it should be going blah blah blah. May be a grain of truth
there. One does raise a cynical eyebrow because all these chuggers have been purposefully picked because they
are young and very good looking.
The Big Issue sellers get on my wick, if you're walking through town there's one every five minutes, I'm polite,
though, and if they ask me if I want one I say 'no thank you'. It's still begging even though you get amagazine out of it. Who's dumbassed idea was that
I love the ones who make you feel guilty by saying
cheerfully 'You have a nice evening!!" Yeah, right! I heard one call me a bitch under his breath once. They'rea ruddy menace, there's just too many of them. You know, if they flogged the magazine in Smiths I'm sureplenty of people would actually buy the damned thing!

It's a pet peeve of mine. They call at all kinds of hours. Some guy gets on thephone with a vaguely working-class, geographically local accent, manly voice, and says "Hello Edward, how are
you today"? Then starts the hard-sell that is being given to you by the supposed fireman/policeman/veteran ...
Notice the assumption of superiority and familiarity by the caller as a prelude to the manipulation.
I made the mistake of contributing a few times a year or so back. Then I discovered that the sameorganizations were calling every 2 months instead of once a year like normal charities. So, since they actually
were calling to my (home) office phone, I started telling them not to call me at my work number. Then usually,
they'll start to give their pitch anyway, so I hang up on them unless I'm feeling testy and give them an earful. I
also tell them to remove the number from their list.
Mostly they ignore it, and keep calling day after day until you get pissed off and yell at them. Then they'll stop
for a month or so. You can't chase them off because the law says they can call if you've had transactions withthem before.
Grrr. It's a lot easier to give someone the tiger eye in person.

If no-one is there on the end of the line when I pick up, I put the damned phone down - that
REALLY pisses me off. Especially when I read that a little old lady living on her own thought she was being

have a good memory I get annoyed when others question it, especially when they are clueless about it.
The other day I was waiting for the bus and I saw a woman flossing her teeth. FLOSSING HER TEETH!! Andeach time she pulled out the floss she'd run it hrough her hand to re-wrap it and go for the next section. It was
so gross not just beacsue it looked tacky but you know she's going to get on the bus and hold on to the poles.

Not even sure what sign/planet that comes under - maybe something to do with Neptune's current ingress into
Aquarius. Neptune = advertising, Aquarius = technology.

Leaky earphones on public transport. Now I say 'can you put on some opera for me? ' They laugh but turn it down. If Apple I pods are so
great why are their ear plugs designed to leak?

Yes I find that annoying too. However I use the earphones that originally came with my ipod and they don't
leak. I test them by turing up the volume to a reasonable volume and seeing if I can hear anything when they
are out of my ears. I think some kids just listen to their music wayyy too loud.

struggle to keep weight on.
I used to be able to get sparkling water with essences of fruit with no sugar or anything, as in Quibell. It uses
mineral water. Now all I can find is artificial seltzer water and diet flavored water. And all of it has Aspartame or
Splenda. Yuck too sweet and too much like brain amino acids.
And the choices for people with normal or below weight are getting slim due to the very fact that people will
not restrain themselves from the trough.
I am sick of having to pay the price for other people's lack of control.
Sorry if this strikes home for some, but I went shopping the other day, and most of the products were thissmart balance crap, or fat free crap.

I've noticed similar about myself, that some of my pet peeves are deep down issues that have been or are
within me in some shape or form (not necessarily in an outer, obvious way). It seems like until we really startto grow up, we don't like mirrors. And what do many do when they see a mirror and feel ugly inside, theysmash it, as if smashing the mirror is going to take away the ugliness we feel inside.
There are Lunar connotations of unconsciousness, emotional reactiveness, and reflection-projection here. The
Moon within us, is most symbolic of personality. The best explanation i've ever heard about the difference
between personality and individuality is that personality is that which you want or wish others would view you
as, and individuality is as you truly are and authentically live without the social fear aspect. Individuality ismore Solar in essence--it shines straight out from it's core. It tends to be harder to live more from ones
individuality than the personality. There are many contributing factors as to why and how this is. Part of it is
the sheer collective "gravity pull" of so much personality and so little individuality surrounding us so much, so
often.
I find the more i love and accept myself, the more i love and accept others, the less and less pet peeves i tend
to have. When i lose that center, i start to become more intolerant of others and their expressions.
Anyways, thank you for your honesty--it's been a breath of a fresh and unusual air on this thread. Indeed, thetruth, if consistently lived, will eventually set one free. Meanwhile we tend to go through a lot of pain anddifficulty until we start to become and feel truly free.

Yes, to me 'there' used erroneously instead of 'their' just seems as glaringly wrong as if they'd used the word
'cat' instead. Same as using 'your' when they mean 'you're'. I know my grammar isn't so hot.. but myspelling/ thinking about what I'm trying to say is okay. In other words why don't people think that they aresaying a condensed version of 'you are' instead of 'your' - I just don't get it.

Like OMG, no way! You so sound like that! *gag*
LOL @bum cheeks...I just don't GET it! Why?? It's not attractive to look like you have midget legs and a superlong torso, it's not, it's just not. And those grammar things you mentioned annoy me too...I have one friend
who always, without fail, writes contractions with "not" incorrectly. I have to literally hold my hands back fromtyping a correction because it would extremely rude to do so while he is talking about something serious. It
looks like does'nt, could'nt...
Let's see, how about some pet peeves close to home?
It annoys me how my mom doesn't care about stuff matching in the house. Like she'll put layers of table covers
on a table, all different. Our lamps are all different. The carpet doesn't match the couches. That stuff hurts myeyes. I mean she's super clean, always rearranges rooms and things like that, but she doesn't really care if
things look like they go together. Maybe they do for her, who knows? She probably sees some harmony in thecolours. She's an aA, dB...I'm gA, cB.

But please shoot me if I say 'step up to the mark' instead of 'step up to the crease' or if I say 'it's your call'. Standards, standards
Mismatching soft furnishings must be hell for adg

I randomly read once that the style of "ze dropping of se pants" came from prison inmates who used that tosignify they were "available"...I wonder if it's true
Speaking of dropping standards, I bet you hate the trend of wearing pajamas in public. I'm also leaning
towards hating wearing leggings as pants, especially when they are see-through or when you can clearly see apanty-line. It seems there is not more line between private and public anymore.

Prison garb huh? i had some teenage boys drop by last night. Fancy belts and shoes and hair product and thenbums hanging right out. Its too funny. Yes and i saw girls on the train wearing pajamas (they did look kind of
sleepy). Oh and leggings on all the fat girls. sorry. i feel asking them if they forgot to put on their skirts. OMG
Im starting to sound like grandma
hmm you still see that thong business (we call them g strings) around the frozen pie section in the
supermarket. The cashed up bogans kind of like that look and bogans dont really translate...

100th Monkey: It is quite funny, and I imagine quite breezy. As for the girls, it really does look as if they
forgot...when the trend just started I saw a girl walking in some see-through leggings that were also ripped, sothey had hole in them near the bum cheek. It was very awkward because I couldn't tell if I should be nice andinform her that her clothes had malfunctioned or not. I feel embarrassed for them, but they know what it looks

Hi Suz-ianna
Not sure of the prison thing - and no-one suitable to ask
You hit the nail on the head about the line between public/ private being blurred - that's the bottom line (ohgod, I said 'bottom line' - shoot me!)And 100th Monkey - yeah, maybe we should go on 'Grumpy Old Women' - I love that programme - not asmuch as 'Grumpy Old Men' though - Rick Wakeman is superlative on that. And I love Bill Nighy

Hey, Suz-ianna has a nice ring to it
they are worn for comfort but they look uncomfortable to me, especially after being worn in and the sole on
the outer edge is worn down. I have never seen them with tailoring (ugh) but I have seen them with miniskirts...I don't get it because it doesn't even look nice. Cowboy boots would be nicer, if they simply must wear
boots with skirts. The doc martens with flowery dresses was a much better trend imo as well.
Speaking of cracks: I don't know how many times I've seen a girl standing up from a seating position or bent
down to get something off a shelf or the floor in public and exposed that part (sans thong)...is this ok now? Is
butt cleavage normal?
It's not a pet peeve, just embarrassing
Laura I also have a strong G, it's mA, so I guess anything that doesn't serve a practical purpose in "fashion"bothers me

everyday life is a 'problem'. We even say 'no problem' in response to 'thank you'. The latest lunacy in the

Re: Pet peeves« Reply #133 - on: 07.07.2010 at 22:27 [UT+1] »My pet peeve is how teachers are now facilitators/trainers and students are now clients/learners. and curriculum
documents are now training packages with in built flexibility and work ready/worksafe employability skills. Just
as long as you go through a couple of of trees ticking off competencies and being audit compliant. which will
involve copious amounts of ticking boxes and many spreadshits (a major peeve of mine is the invention of
spreadshits)
And admin staff who now run the show chasing you around with forms you havnt filled in. Why cant they fill in
the form, im sure its their job? What happened to typing pools, where people who could type fast helped you
with your paper work? The typing pool is gone and we have admin assistants who are nearly as important as
the boss and about as helpful. and dont even mention the lie we all bought of the paperless office...
And men in suits who bang on about disseminating information. Which means, quite frankly, spreading yourseed. I hear that word and it gives me an uncomfortable visual... Not very appropriate in the board room or
the classroom.

Yes I am of that generation. I was in high school in the 90s and I like grunge but not greasy hair, lol. I
remember when being "preppy" was uncool, now it is cool. I like juxtapositions and I like the word too--it's
pretty funky, it would be a good band name-- but bad taste is just bad taste, and uggs is short for "ugly" isn'tit?
I think we need to bring the word and the idea "slattern". There is a vacuum that needs filling.
100th monkey, I studied communication in university and we used that word sooo much, LOL....I never used torelate it to that. I realized later on what it really meant but I wish I had knows sooner because it would havemade my lectures a lot more entertaining.

American company and we are not allowed to call our Ugg/Ugh boots that anymore. Its a violation of copyright.

Thanks for the info on Ugg boots, I feel that knowledge is power in this instance.
So many pet peeves you should open a zoo - me too ha ha - this is getting out of hand
In Blighty we say 'don't get your knickers in a twist'.
Oh dear - shoulder pads coming back in. Great. Me and my mum spent the entire 80s cutting them out and
now they're bloody coming backAll fine and dandy if you've got the graceful, swan-like neck of Iman but
um, I don't, and I think most people don't!
I actually think the 80s were dream compared to today. At least things were made properly with waistbands
and things. Think how classy Sade looked in her sharp cotton shirts and skinny pants, slicked back plait andred lippy. Stunnin'. Mind you, she is stunning anyway
Now, it's all 'let it hang out' like Uggs and PJs or strictured and torturous - saw a piccie of Cheryl Cole ingynaecologically-unfriendly incredibly tight drainpipes with her midriff hanging out of a plastic bomber jacket
and her feet encased in a pair of wedges so high they looked like some kind of torture equipment. As my dear
mum says 'She'll get a chill on her kidneys'
Okay, I've thought of two more fashion pet peeves.
Maxi dresses and flip flops worn in the city. Nope, just inappropriate. Flip flops -urgh, should just be worn on abeach - if at all! Apparently quite a lot of car accidents are caused by wearing flip flops (get the foot/solecaught under the pedals).
Maybe it's the wonderful aesthetic sense conferred by my AmD that gets so offended

What are muffin tops?

It's most commonly the result of skin that has lost its elasticity by the rapid stretching from childbearing that isleft hanging over the area of the lower abdomen just above the pelvic region. Sadly, it's the motivator of many
a post natal tummy tuck. However, men and women alike can have a "muffin top" without aid of ill fitting
pants. It's a type of herniation of the skin.

I just went outside on a Saturday. ARGGGGG. Hipster and tourist day, oh my.
On the fashion front, did anyone mention men wearing leggings with cut off t-shirts? Zillion dollar stupid
looking sunglasses? Hello Kitty clothing on 60+ woman? Enough foundation for 30 people on one face?
Tattooed eyebrows with a quizzical look? Oh then really scary, the new-improved how to pay a lot of dinero toshow off fat? A white-on-white look, see-thru, urm, lovely. You can see the bra bulges and the thong dents andmore. Then, the trend of short shorts? I thought it went away. But, no.
Yeah, I need to open a peeve zoo also every Summer. De, P. D conjunct N f B.
An eating peeve: I would prefer that people use their fingers or anything, please do not slop sauces all over me.
Do not use that fork as conversational emphasis. Or if you do not understand how to eat pasta without thesauce flying 10 feet. Cut it up or only eat at home.
Drives me up the wall. Add in chopsticks. If you do not know how to use them, please ask for a knife and fork. I
do not like food to randomly plop on me. It adds to the fashion issue. I do not like wearing other peoples foodin my hair or or anywhere else.
P.S. I was bad, I ran to the store in the equivalent of PJ's.

everyone have to go out and buy a pair all at the same time? I won't touch them now ( I was contemplating
getting some just earlier), I have seen to many people sporting them. That bandwagon is way too full for me.
Laura Quote:Oh dear - shoulder pads coming back in. Great. Me and my mum spent the entire 80s cutting them out and now they're bloody comingback All fine and dandy if you've got the graceful, swan-like neck of Iman but um, I don't, and I think most people don't!
I actually think the 80s were dream compared to today. At least things were made properly with waistbands and things.

Yeah, at least it was a kind of original back thenBack to top

I always thought it was what MVMR said, ill-fitting jeans, or hipsters, that 'push' the fat up, so it spills over thesides of the jeans. I've noticed a lot of younger women do this here in the UK (we have a 'slight' obesity crisishere).
To answer Silverlake's question as to why, my theory was that it's about denial of what their true dress size was,
Neptune style. Squeeze into a size 10, when you are really pushing a size 18, and voila! None the wiser...

if you're wear socks, wear closed toe shoes. Or if you're gonna wear sandals, then don't wear socks.
To clarify: I meant you in the general sense. Do I need to mention my Libra Sun & Venus Virgo to keep thispost astrology related?

Can you delete a whole topic after someone replies? I thought it that you could just delete your own
posts...which I haven't done but I have seen. I have deleted a topic when NO ONE has replied though.
I would be annoyed by that too.
And like Ms. Miranda I am more annoyed than joyed lately...I should check my transits, ever since the full moonit has been a strange couple of days

I think having more g planets makes us less Libra (STEREOTYPICALLY) rather than more. A singleton would
probably be more pronounced in its expression. Having all those planets there adds a whole lot more flavour tothe Libra mix. Of course I'm partly echoing what I have heard here, but also recently someone was describing

Comfort rules for me. Fortunately I work from a home office, so I don't have to worry too much about
costuming. But then I get caught when things happen that require costumes.

I'm sorry, but I disagree. I have never seen anyone wear them well.
It shorten legs and make it look like she is hiding cankles! Yuck!
It's at worst when worn with shorts, or skirts. *bleh*
I'm with you Krista!
Uggs are Fug!!

Re: Pet peeves« Reply #182 - on: 20.08.2010 at 06:49 [UT+1] »pet peeves are very virgoan - 6th house - breaks in patterns that overwhelm us, leave us scrambling like ants to
put everything back into order.
but our patterns are not necessarily others' patterns.
order in itself creates chaos because all of our energy is going to manage the chaos.
my pet-peeve is the antithesis is to go with the flow.
when i don't, i'm constantly taking inventory and giving others power, decision over myself, simply by taking up
my attention which is better spent on perfecting myself.
